Chapter 216 Leo, the Skilled Explainer
The wizard was wearing the badge of the Uriel Assembly.
At this moment, he was surrounded by several wizards from the Uriel gathering.
"Master Wizard Hein, there are some things I don't understand about the manufacture of the Rubik's Cube eyeball. I wonder if I could ask you for your guidance?"
Hein said calmly, "My time is precious. Besides the lessons assigned by my mentor Uriel, there are also lessons my mother assigned."
"Master Wizard Hein, I understand the principle, but I can only barely come up with two hundred magic stones. I wonder if you could spare some time to guide me?"
"No." Hein shook his head and said coldly, "My time is precious. If you want me to teach you, you'll have to offer at least a thousand magic stones."
Upon hearing this, the wizard left dejectedly.
The other wizards stepped in his place, saying, "Wizard Hein, could you please guide me in this magic course? I'm willing to offer five hundred magic stones."
"...Alright, five hundred magic stones will barely be enough for me to give you some guidance."
Listening to their conversation, a hint of sadness flashed across Jasmine's expression for a moment.
She placed her hands on her lap and unconsciously rubbed them together.
Jasmine raised her voice and said, "The Wizard Leo."
However, the sound only grew a little louder before quickly becoming quieter again.
Jasmine's voice carried a touch of timidity that was unique to her personality.
Jasmine lowered her head and said, "This course on magical engineering is very important to me. If I need anything in the future, may I ask you for guidance?"
Jasmine herself doesn't earn many magic stones.
This course requires a considerable number of magic stones.
Leo said, "That's naturally no problem."
Jasmine exclaimed, then shook her head violently, raised her right index finger, and said, "Of course, Wizard Leo, I won't let you work for free. I'll give you the corresponding magic stones as payment afterward."
"Is ten magic stones okay?"
Leo thought for a moment and said, "That works too."
Their conversation caught Hein's attention.
Hein frowned and said calmly, "Don't think that I'm charging you so many magic stones because I'm greedy. I'm just stating the price I should pay as a genius wizard."
"I am a genius. My time is different from that of ordinary wizards. A mediocre wizard apprentice's explanation costs ten magic stones, but my explanation, as the genius wizard Hein, costs five hundred magic stones."
When Hein spoke of this, his gaze lingered on Leo and his group for a moment.
It was easy to hear the veiled meaning in Hein's tone.
Upon hearing this, Jasmine lowered her head and clutched the fabric of her pants.
Leo could also hear it, but he just felt a little confused.
They were having a nice chat, how did this happen?
Jasmine quickly released her hands, placing them on her thighs, and said, "Wizard Leo, I know my request is unreasonable, but this is all the magic stones I can offer."
"But I promise you, once I earn more magic stones, I will definitely make it up to you."
Leo was a little speechless. He patted Jasmine on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, Jasmine. I've never considered myself a genius. Since I'm just a mediocre wizard apprentice, I'll teach you at the price a mediocre wizard apprentice should pay. Ten magic stones are enough."
Jasmine asked timidly, "Won't this cause you trouble?"
"Haha, it's nothing," Leo said. "It's just a small matter."
Jasmine patted her cheeks and said, "Yes, then I'll trouble you, Wizard Leo."
Jasmine doesn't have enough magic stones to ask Leo for help right now, but she's determined to repay the favors she owes Leo once she earns enough magic stones.
Hein, standing to the side, snorted coldly.
However, neither Leo nor Jasmine paid any attention to him.
Because Uriel's lessons have begun.
Uriel stood on the stage, his demeanor extraordinary, his words gentle and approachable.
"Young wizards, I'm glad you could all be here for this class."
"Of course, it might be a bit of a shame that the wizard who was supposed to give the lecture couldn't make it today. If you feel that it's inappropriate for me to give the lecture, or if you don't like my course, you can leave now, and the magic stones you paid will be refunded in full later."
When Uriel said these words, the wizards below the stage looked around and whispered among themselves.
"I never expected it would turn into Uriel the wizard giving a lecture."
"The lectures by Wizard Uriel are renowned for their excellence and high quality."
"Besides, Wizard Uriel's courses are normally very expensive, so we've made a profit here."
None of the wizard apprentices left the stage. They had no objection to Uriel replacing the original lecturer and were even happy about it.
Uriel waited a moment to make sure no one left their seat before beginning his lecture.
Uriel taught the course on the study of magic in a way that made it easy for people to understand.
Jasmine next to her was making cheat sheets.
Although Uriel's explanation was easy to understand, due to the difference in spiritual energy and talent, Jasmine and many other wizards present still couldn't comprehend it.
Jasmine tried to quickly transcribe what Uriel had said, intending to understand it slowly when she got back.
However, every now and then, Jasmine would ask Leo what was going on.
Leo would also patiently guide her.
Conversely, Hein, who had previously been very high-profile, paled in comparison during his explanation.
"Wizard Hein, I don't quite understand this part. Could you explain it to me?"
"Well... we can just follow what Wizard Uriel explained."
"And what about this, Wizard Hein?"
"Didn't Wizard Uriel already explain it? It's a very simple principle, how come you can't understand it?"
Hein's performance displeased several wizards who had paid him for advice.
Although they knew the reason was not that Hein had poor comprehension or did not understand the problem, but that Wizard Uriel's lectures were of high quality and easy to understand.
Hein could not provide a more accessible explanation than the wizard Uriel.
However, despite their understanding, Hein not only couldn't answer their questions but also spoke harshly to them, which really affected their mood.
"Wizard Hein, I'm sorry, could you please return the magic stones I paid for earlier?"
"Wizard Hein, the magic stones I spent were meant to guide me, not to be used to hurl insults at me."
"Several wizard apprentices said."
They may not be as talented as Hein, but they are not pushovers to be easily manipulated.
Hein's expression turned grim as he said, "Fine, I'll return the magic stones to you after the course ends. However, don't expect me to help you with any lessons that require my explanation in the future. I only did these explanations out of a small kindness."
"Although I accepted the magic stones, I also wasted my study time."
,
"Furthermore, when I explain, I have to use language that your talents can understand. It's extremely draining on my energy. These mere few hundred magic stones are simply not enough."
