Chapter 280 (2) |
After the classroom calmed down a bit, Dark shook his head slightly. He picked up a pen, recorded the ratio of the ingredients that were used for crafting this time, and prepared to make adjustments after class.
There was no longer enough time for another experiment.
He felt his control and overall steps were pretty good. He only had to improve some issues with the details.
However, his current failed product actually deviated quite a lot from the ideal.
This was because the “Transform” on his failed product could not replicate any attributes. It was merely a “Transform” that allowed Ditto to change its appearance and even that was not perfect.
Originally, he thought that Ditto only had one ultimate - [Transform], and as long as the experiment succeeded, this ultimate would be extracted, but he did not expect…
"Maybe, there was a problem with my thought process,”
Dark recalled when he asked Ditto to recall the feeling of Transform and thought about it for a bit.
"But these are minor problems."
"By inference, does it mean that if a magical spirit recalls an ultimate that is not on its card but something it had learned in its mind, I can extract an ultimate that is not shown on the card panel?"
"This is a very good experimental direction!"
Dark quickly recorded his thoughts lest he forgot them.
……
After that, he reached for his Ditto and teased it for a bit. Then, he started cleaning up the mess from his experiment.
“Mon Mon!” Ditto gave a crooked smile. Its tentacles turned into hands, and it started helping Dark clean.
After a few minutes, Dark finished cleaning and began to leisurely observe other students' experiments.
The progress of the other students' experiments was all at different speeds, but none of them were particularly fast.
Some students' progressed so slowly that they obviously had to stay after class.
There were also some students who were quite fast, but it seemed that none of them had mastered the crux of crafting an [ultimate card].
After laughing, Dianna and Rose hurriedly threw themselves into their experiments.
The distraction just now almost made their experiments go to waste.
Meanwhile, Robert's experiment had turned out surprisingly better than White's.
White was trying to remedy his experiment in his crucible with a panicked expression.
Emma’s ancient gold coin had also been reduced by two.
……
"Ring, ring, ring!"
When the bell rang for the end of class, the students could not help wailing out.
Those who had failed their experiments happily picked up their school bags and went to the cafeteria.
Those who had not failed their experiments were eagerly waiting for their experiments to fail.
This was destined to be an anticlimactic experimental class.
By the end of the class, no one succeeded.
...
After the potions class in the afternoon, Dark rushed over with his notebook in hand before Professor Thompson left.
He clarified the questions he had regarding potion crafting arising from the morning experiment class.
Thompson could be considered the most normal professor in the first year.
He put down the textbook in his hand, and began to explain it patiently.
Dark took notes while listening, linking several keywords into a paragraph.
About ten minutes later, he obtained the knowledge he wanted.
After that, he did not bother the professor further and tried to understand what he had learned.
……
This afternoon, instead of going straight to the library, he returned to the dormitory and started the next experiment directly in the dormitory.
Having learned the lessons from the Magic Theory class, he communicated with Ditto in detail before conducting the experiment, and asked it to pay attention to the feeling of the [Transform] skill instead of the normal Transform.
This time the experiment went quite smoothly, but the final result was still unsatisfactory.
Dark summoned DemiDevimon and asked Ditto to use [Transform].
But the [Demi Dart] released by Ditto after [Transform] was soft, and its attributes were obviously lower.
It was obvious that this [Transform] was not at 100%.
"So, an ultimate card actually has a completion level…"
This discovery made Dark feel very disappointed.
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable.
He recorded the details of the various steps of the experiment again, but this time, he planned to use Miltank's materials to practice.
Anyway, he had access to an endless supply of Miltank’s core materials. After excluding the cost of core materials, a material package was only 100 credits so he could carry out more in-depth research through repeated experiments.
"Moo moo!" Miltank rubbed its head against the palm of Dark's hand. It rubbed its hands together to produce a bottle of milk, and then handed it to Dark affectionately.
Dark drank it all in one gulp and felt energized.
Then, he started his new experiment!
With the previous two experiments as a reference, the process of this experiment went relatively smoothly.
Miltank also did well to recall the feeling when it used its ultimate. So the result was a success in a single try.
Finally, a [Ultimate· Milk Drink] card was crafted!
Dark immediately experimented with it.
Although the ultimate card this time also had flaws, it could restore 1/3 of the magical spirit's magic energy value, which was already quite good.
In the end, [Milk Drink] and [Transform] were two different types of skills.
Even if the effect of [Milk Drink] was reduced, it was still significant.
However, with the effect of [Transform] reduced, Ditto would simply become a completely different slime monster…
Dark continued his efforts and completed the remaining two experiments in one go.
As a result, the second crafting of [Ultimate· Milk Drink] failed, but the third crafting of [Ultimate· Milk Drink] was successful.
The new Milk Drink could roughly recover 2/5 of the magical spirit's magic energy, which was already very close to the strongest effect!
Unfortunately, by this time, he only had one basic material package left.
Furthermore, the material package for [Transform] was different from [Milk Drink] in terms of material ratios.
"I bought too few!" Dark sighed, seemingly regretful.
He raised his head slightly, only to notice that the time was already half past nine in the evening.
The happy times are always short.
He even forgot his dinner.
……
"I’ll wait till Friday!" Dark did not continue with experiments to craft the [Transform] ultimate card. Instead, he made a theoretical analysis and summary based on the crafting steps and results of the [Milk Drink] ultimate card.
He planned to wait until he bought more materials on Friday, to research the perfect [Ultimate· Milk Drink], and then restart the crafting experiments for [Ultimate· Transform] card.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was Tuesday.
Dark was still immersed in his research of [ultimate card] crafting, however, a new storm was brewing.
In the dueling class on Tuesday, Professor Jones praised the seven "Duelers" and accepted all their homework.
Then she put aside the thick stack of homework, and began to explain the seven duels one by one!
The order of the explanations followed the order of the competition.
Doron, who was the first to bear the brunt, was stunned!
Everyone said that being first was good. He did get a good start, getting trashed and bloodied.
Obviously, he had already forgotten about the Rookie League game that got off to a bad start after he finished writing his analysis paper. But, Professor Jones wanted to bring that all up again. That made him recall the fiasco of his debut match again.
Although it was not to the extent of public execution, he still pursed his lips and clenched his fists.
Next time, next time I must win!
...(｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)...
He felt like crying.
…
Professor Jones' analysis was naturally better than that of the first-year students.
After Doron's initial emotions, Professor Jones’ explanation caught his interest and he gained a deeper understanding of his mistakes in his debut battle.
In the homework he had just turned in, he blamed his defeat mostly on the lack of second-tier magical spirits.
Even though that was one of the major reasons, he actually also did not perform his best in that duel.
Professor Jones finally concluded, "Doron did not even want to win at the beginning of the fight. That's the biggest problem!"
This merciless remark made young Doron's face go white in fits and fits.
However, Professor Jones was not a lenient person. That was also a characteristic of her teaching.
"I always tell all of you to treat victory and defeat with normalcy. Don’t be boastful when you win and don’t feel discouraged when you lose. Every win and loss is enlightenment. It is the destiny of the dueler to learn from the experience and become stronger."
"A dueler who doesn't aim to win is not a good dueler."
Professor Jones' teachings rang true.
While Doron's face turned white, the face of White Gawd, who was in the last row of the classroom by the door, also turned pale immediately.
Professor Jones' merciless criticism of Doron not only affected Doron, but also greatly affected White.
"White, are you alright?" Robert asked concernedly after noticing that White's face didn't look right.
White was in a trance for a moment and subconsciously replied, "I'm okay."
"Hey, you don't look like you're fine," Robert said.
White forced a smile, "Look at my smile, it's as brilliant as today's weather."
"Well, wouldn't dazzling be a better word for a smile?"
White was reduced to silence.
Anyway, the light banter with Robert did make White feel a bit better, and he continued to listen with his eyes wide open.
