Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Either become a top researcher and expand the upper limits of the Mage path.

But even he might not be capable of achieving this, able only to barely meet the research demands and scrape by on the edge of subsistence, occasionally scamming some funds, and when luck strikes, creating a few noteworthy leading products.

It was quite clear that his students were even less capable than himself, and he feared that becoming a qualified Mage Assistant after graduation would be a difficult feat for them.

The remaining two paths he could choose from were essentially set: either set aside the glory of being a Mage and engage in those high-value-added industries.

For instance, rapid fortification construction, magic potion production lines, material handler and the like.

This way, while one couldn't expect to become immensely rich or famous, one would at least be able to ensure a worry-free livelihood.

If his future children also possessed magical aptitude, even genius-level talent, there might be a chance for a dramatic turnaround.

However, such a predictable life with a visible end was precisely the path that the majority of students graduating from the Mage Academy did not wish to take.

If Conny had no interest in the two paths above and wished to become a Mage with adequate combat capability...

Then undoubtedly, professions like War Mage, which require significant investment in specific magic models but offer substantial combat power upon mastery, are indeed an attractive choice for students who still harbor fantasies.

If they found new opportunities in the Dungeon, perhaps after their strength increased, they could return to further their magic knowledge and go even further.

Indeed, the other mentoring mages and this old mage in the white robe with golden trimming shared mostly the same thoughts.

It's just that a portion of them were still immersed in the intricate magic model showcased by Kael, not yet snapped back to reality.

Ironically, strictly speaking, Kael's skills in his past life leaned more towards the role of a Magic Assassin.

What he played was a game of intense excitement and high-efficiency burst, which meant that many of the skills he chose when studying spells were actually drawn from the War Mage system.

He could even be considered a plus version of a War Mage, the only difference being that his unique skills made his combat style more akin to that of a Magic Assassin.

At this time, some in the audience were deep in thought or frowning, which even Conny, standing by the door, could not help reveal a conflicted expression on his face.

As he hesitated, suddenly he saw a figure outside the classroom hurriedly walking toward this direction.

Conny's eyes widened as he scrutinized the newcomer: the young age, the pale face, and the student uniform of the Mage Academy, all clearly indicated a fellow student like himself.

He acted swiftly to intercept, hoping this time there wouldn't be any issues.

"Classmate, stop for a moment! Hello, classmate!

Today the lecture hall is too crowded, and the Academy has ruled that only students with approved applications may attend, and since the lecture has already been underway for a while, do you still wish to enter?"

The student slowed down and looked up at Conny.

It was then that Conny noticed the student's unnaturally pale face, but after hearing Conny's question, he slowly responded:

"I applied to the Academy previously, and my request was approved. I apologize for my tardiness today due to some matters, but I would still like to listen to today's lecture."

The old mage in the white robe with golden trimming immediately sensed that something serious might have happened to the student before rushing here—the distraught look in his eyes did not seem fake.

Seeing the determined look in his eyes, the old mage did not stop him, but sighed and said:

"Go in, but do not disturb the lecture."

He nodded and turned to enter the amphitheater.

At that moment, Kael stood on the podium, demonstrating a new magic model that he had developed, and frowned subconsciously upon seeing someone enter.

The student who had intended not to interrupt the lecture caught Kael's expression and almost didn't restrain himself. His face was so forlorn that Kael even suspected that if he spoke to the student sharply, he might flee in panic.

But Kael quickly realized the impropriety of his behavior, paused his lecture, and the magic model formed from his accumulated Magic Power slowly dissipated as he said softly,

"Do not lose composure when in despair."

His voice was light, but his azure eyes conveyed a mysterious emotion, as if telling the student not to show his vulnerability to others.

This unexpected remark surprised several old mages in the audience; they felt that Kael truly possessed the talent required by a mentoring teacher. Discover hidden content at empire

A true teacher not only imparts knowledge but also transmits right principles and philosophies, rather than trampling on students' dignity under the guise of "educating you."

"Go sit in the back."

The student nodded with effort, turned his head, and moved to the last row of the classroom. For some reason, after hearing Kael's words, the sorrow from having just attended his mother's funeral seemed to lessen.

He stood silently at the back of the classroom, listening as Kael resumed the lecture on the magic models and theoretical frameworks related to the War Mage, as composed as a robot.
