Chapter 29 Asking for help

"What a waste. I've taught you so many times, but you still can't make a perfect experimental specimen!"

"So much material was wasted, I think you should become one of my experimental materials."

"Oh! Fresh flesh and blood, my little Ratta must be very satisfied with you, Jie Jie Jie!"

Master Corsolon was laughing hoarsely as he pinched the neck of a male apprentice in the classroom below. His two protruding eyes were full of madness and ferociousness.

The fundamental reason for this male apprentice's misfortune was that he messed up his experimental materials.

Unlike Thane, who was the assistant to Master Corsolon on the podium, he had a complete apprentice corpse as a specimen.

Due to the limited materials of the Black Magic Academy, or the fear of waste by these apprentices, the anatomical materials in front of the apprentices in the classroom are only some body fragments.

The male apprentice had half an arm in front of him. Whether because of nervousness or some other reason, he actually broke three blood vessels in succession, turning his anatomy experiment materials into scraps.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" A sharp cry came from the sleeves of the black magic robe on Master Kesolon's wrist.

An ugly rat with three-quarters of its hair bald and a disgusting red flesh jumped out.

The moment this mouse appeared, not only the apprentices in the entire class were silent, but even Thain on the podium was shocked.

During the ten years he lived in the Academy of Dark Arts, Thain had never seen the sight of this rat devouring strangers, and he was frightened awake in his sleep countless times at night.

It is no exaggeration to say that at least more than 70% of the apprentices in the entire Black Magic Academy have lived in the shadow brought by this mouse.

Thain, who had witnessed the battle between two formal black magicians, had a vague feeling that the combat power of this rat might be even greater than that of the giant plant monster owned by Master Kesserson in the plantation.

A cruel scarlet light flickered from the mouse's eyes.

At a moment when other apprentices could not react, the palm-sized red-skinned mouse suddenly jumped up and turned into an afterimage of more than two meters in size, swallowing the apprentice in front of him in one gulp.

When the mouse landed again, it returned to the size of a palm and returned to Master Corsolon's sleeve robe.

A faint cry of "Zhizhizhi!" came from the other apprentices in the classroom, and they seemed to see two flashing red lights staring at them from Master Corsolon's sleeves.

This is a greedy look, like a predator looking at its own food.

"Gudu." I don't know which apprentice swallowed the saliva first. The other apprentices in the classroom immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Cosolon again.

The experimental specimens in front of them were also being cared for as much as possible.

Even if they made some mistakes or minor mistakes, they tried to make up for it as much as possible, trying to hide it from the eyes of an official black magician.

Thain did not have any distractions at this time. Just as Corsoron praised him at the beginning, Thain handled the experimental materials perfectly.

Maybe Thane really has a talent in this area. If he can become a disciple of Corsoron, he might also be able to become a top apprentice in the academy like Mike of Death Hand.

But considering Master Corsolon's character and his tendency to use his disciples and apprentices as experimental materials... Thane does not regret his original choice.

Just when Thain looked down at his experimental specimens, he noticed with his peripheral vision that the body of a female apprentice in the front row of the classroom was trembling slightly, and her face was also looking at him, with a hint of help in her expression.

Thain did not recognize this female apprentice, but she looked familiar. She seemed to be an entry-level apprentice who had been in the academy for two years.

Her childish face indicated that this female apprentice was probably less than ten years old.

The experimental specimen she handled was a palm. From a professional perspective, Thain judged that there were at least two obvious mistakes in the specimen she handled.

No wonder this female apprentice looked trembling and frightened at this time. The scene where Master Cosolon allowed his pet to devour an apprentice just now really scared these little guys again.

If three obvious mistakes were fatal, then two mistakes marked her stepping into the door of death.

Only one obvious mistake could be tolerated by Master Corsolon.

And there are not many apprentices like Thane, who didn't even make a single mistake during the dissection process and can be called a perfect apprentice, in the entire Black Magic Academy.

To use a more vivid description, Thain seems to be born to eat this bowl of rice.

If there is guidance from a wise mentor or corresponding knowledge inheritance, Thane may be able to embark on a path of specialization in the undead system among black magicians in the future.

The female apprentice in front of him asked for help, which made Thain's heart sink.

He could see that one of the two obvious mistakes made by this female apprentice was indeed...

to remedy.

But if he wanted to get another apprentice under the nose of an official black magician, Thane felt that he didn't have such a big reputation.

This female apprentice has black hair and several uniquely shaped braids, giving her a special beauty that other female apprentices do not have.

The female apprentice's pleading look reminded Thain of a few years ago when Meili, who was also an entry-level apprentice, asked Thain who was sitting next to her for help.

At that time, Thain was just a low-level apprentice. Maybe it was because Merry's look for help infected Thain, or maybe he had just arrived in the Underdark and was not fully adapted to the environment of the Black Magic Academy, so he chose to bite the bullet at that time. Helped Meili.

Will Thain help this female apprentice this time?

He first glanced at Master Corsolon, who was still checking the results of his apprentices.

Since the inspection was done vertically in the classroom, it was still a while before it was the turn of the female apprentice in front of me.

Taking a deep breath, Thain picked up the scalpel next to the lectern.

He did not personally help the female apprentice to remedy the situation. Instead, he used the complete specimen in front of him as a carrier and gently gestured in mid-air.

At this time, all the apprentices in the classroom were fearfully paying attention to their specimens, so no one noticed Thain's little movements, except for the girl who looked at him for help.

No apprentice who can live in the Black Magic Academy for two years is too stupid. When Thain performed the volley demonstration for the second time, the female apprentice immediately realized something and hurriedly picked up the scalpel to remedy the situation.

The preparation of just a palm specimen does not take much effort.

When Master Corsolon checked her here, the female apprentice had already completed the repairs and was sitting there respectfully.

"Eh? That's right. I used the 'cross suture method' to make up for a mistake."

"But have I ever taught you this technique before?"

"Hey, I'm getting older and my memory isn't very good." Shaking his head, Master Cosolon passed the female apprentice and walked to the next apprentice.

Although it happened in a short time, both the female apprentice and Thain on the podium were frightened into a cold sweat.

Sure enough, it's still too reckless!

If Thain had known in advance that Corsolon had not taught this entry-level apprentice the "Cross Stitching Method", he would never have easily helped this female apprentice.
