Days passed by just like that.
In just over ten days, his Qi attribute had broken through from 1 to 2. It seemed very slow, but according to Yennefer's progress, it was evaluated as rapid progress.
According to Yennefer's description, a normal Wizard who had just finished their studies at a magic academy would have a Qi attribute of around 5.
And in less than two months, Asa had essentially covered what a normal Wizard would take over a year to achieve.
During this period, Asa also dabbled in some elementary spells of other elements.
The Fire element's "Harmless Fire." Harmless Fire can temporarily eliminate the damage and spreading capability of fire within a designated area, or prevent self-injury when casting fire spells.
The Water element's "Purification," which purifies impurities, toxins, and pathogens within one cubic meter, is commonly used for survival in the wild.
Even so, this consumed quite a bit of time.
For Asa, staying in the mansion allowed him to experience a luxurious medieval life.
The house was big enough, there was plenty of barbecue, red wine to drink at will, and maids to serve him. In his previous life, this kind of life would have made him a winner in life.
During this time, Yennefer educated Asa on the current structure of the Wizarding World.
The current Wizarding World mainly consists of two large factions: one is the Brotherhood of Sorcerers in the Northern Kingdoms, and the other is the Council of Nilfgaardian Court Mages in the Nilfgaard Empire.
The Brotherhood of Sorcerers is headed by the Wizard's Council and the Chapter, which control the connections of the Wizarding World in the Northern Kingdoms.
Yennefer's mentor, Tissaia, is a member of the Chapter.
Through Yennefer, while Asa was learning and waiting, he awaited Tissaia's arrival.
According to Yennefer, Tissaia is a mentor with a very young psychological age, and when they were young, the two often chatted while naked in the dormitory.
It was a real conversation; it is said that this is a way for Sorceresses to build closer relationships.
On a quiet morning, an owl circled continuously outside the house.
Asa was thoughtful; his keen senses allowed him to feel the approach of this bird.
He was about to withdraw, but was pressed down firmly by Yennefer.
At a critical moment, how could he withdraw completely? At least he had to leave something inside.
The Sorceress pressed him down firmly, and Asa understood what she meant.
Alright, Asa felt a bit helpless.
Anyway, the visitor might be Yennefer's mentor; she wasn't shy, so why should he be?
So Asa simply fulfilled Yennefer's wish, and today's portion was overflowing.
It wasn't until the owl landed on the ground and the light aura on its body bloomed, rapidly transforming from an owl into a black-haired, intellectual woman, that the two remained in a connected state.
She actually didn't arrive at a good time.
Upon seeing the scene on the bed, a barely perceptible sigh sounded.
"Hurry up and finish, I have something to ask you."
The woman's expression remained unchanged as she turned to look out the window.
"What is that smell?"
But she still underestimated the extent of it. The Sorceress mentor suddenly frowned, saw two clear handprints on the windowsill, and twitched the corners of her mouth.
There was no other way. She used magic to block her sense of smell, and with a wave of her hand, a gust of wind rushed into the room, refreshing the air.

Asa gaze was a bit awkward; this situation was also a very novel experience for him.
He looked at Yennefer, as if asking:
"Why couldn't you wait until later?"
Yennefer replied with a look:
"She is my mentor, so what if she sees? Are you still shy?"
Alright, Asa had to continue.
A moment later, the two finally ended their connected state and were able to sit down and talk.
"Is this your choice, Yennefer?"
Tissaia looked at Asa, her gaze nodding imperceptibly. At least in terms of appearance, this black-haired, black-eyed man didn't look like just a gigolo waiting to die.
He also had enough strength on the bed.
"Yes, Teacher. This is the Herbalist I told you about when I was young."
Yennefer introduced him boldly.
Facing Tissaia, who was like a teacher and a mother, she really wanted her elder to witness her choice.
"Then, let me see if the Source you spoke of is real."
Tissaia stood up, walked to Asa, and her eyes turned red.
Asa immediately had the illusion of being seen through:
"Is this magic called X-ray vision?"
A moment later, her eyes turned back to brown, and she nodded:
"Not bad."
Yennefer said proudly:
"Teacher, Asa has already learned three magic spells. Ten days ago, he was still an ordinary human who knew nothing."
Hearing this, even the well-informed Tissaia couldn't help but feel shocked.
She looked into Asa eyes and said seriously:
"Child, your talent is indeed good, but you need to think clearly. Embarking on the path of a Wizard means giving up the qualification to be a parent."
Asa had long understood the consequences of becoming a Wizard, and at this moment he appeared very firm:
"If I can pursue the mysteries of this world, the continuation of my bloodline is not important to me."
This was a pretense.
"Is that so?"
Tissaia sighed slightly. She was nearly 500 years old this year and had taught countless Sorceresses.
When first stepping onto the path of magic, students saw the power of magic and vowed that they would never regret it because of this.
When they were over 50 years old, the people they were familiar with disappeared one by one, and loneliness inevitably entangled them.
For this reason, many Sorceresses had blamed her for the source of this mistake.
Therefore, every time she met a student who wanted to become a Wizard, she implemented the concept that becoming a Sorceress meant giving up the qualification to become a mother in Aretuza.
She had heard this sentence more times than she knew, but she had never heard the words about giving up.
That's fine too.
"Child, I hope you won't regret it. Now, let me see your magic progress first."
"A live demonstration?"
Asa nodded, and the three walked towards the courtyard.
After setting the target, Asa demonstrated the three spells he had recently learned:
Light-body Technique, Harmless Fire, and Purification.
He used the Light-body Technique on a servant, and this shy maid jumped two meters high, a height enough to drop half the health of a Witcher.
Harmless Fire purified the flames in the stove, allowing others to reach in and touch them at will.
And Purification turned the muddy water in the vat into a pool of clear spring water.
More importantly, Tissaia saw that after casting three spells in a row, this new apprentice still looked completely unexhausted, and his energy remained vigorous.
Tissaia nodded slightly; good talent and good physique.
Even if they learned many spells, a mage's body would not be stronger than an ordinary civilian, because they could not use magic to permanently strengthen themselves unless they took Potions.
What is precious about Wizards is the brain that can calculate magic composition and guide magic power, but it also means that a strong body and vigorous energy are equally important to a mage. At least from Yennefer's performance on the bed and his current energy, this black-haired, black-eyed young man's performance was exceptionally qualified.
Beyond qualified.
After the test, Tissaia asked curiously:
"Are you a descendant of the elves? A normal person in their 30s would never have such a young appearance, unless they are well-maintained. Yennefer said you are just an ordinary Herbalist."
"I don't know."
Asa spread his hands.
"There is none."
The suspicion was reasonable. People in this world would always have a trace of elven blood in their bloodline, because there is no reproductive isolation between elves, humans, and dryads.
Yennefer beside him had 1/4 elven ancestry, and the unborn Ciri was the inheritor of the ancient elven blood.
"High talent, strong body, and a passion for learning magic. Most importantly, he is the lover Yennefer chose."
Tissaia thought, the last point was particularly important; this meant that Asa was naturally on the side of Aretuza.
After thinking, the woman said:
"Your talent is very high, but you need more systematic learning. Ban Ard magic Academy or Aretuza magic Academy? Which one do you want to go to?"
"I can still choose?"
Asa raised his head in shock.
As far as he knew, Ban Ard magic Academy was where male Wizards were, while Aretuza was where female mages gathered. Did Tissaia mean that Asa could go to the Sorceress's magic academy?
Then did he still need to choose?
Yennefer also felt shocked and inappropriate:
It is well known that the Sorceress academy recruits either civilians with a Source or fallen nobles. These people would climb up the pole once they tasted a bit of sweetness and eat all the benefits without leaving anything behind.
Sending Asa there, wouldn't that be a piece of fat thrown into a wolf's den?
Moreover, most of the students in the academy were minors, and if it continued to develop, the book would be banned.
Aretuza's students
Yennefer expressed strong opposition.
And after thinking about it, Tissaia also felt it was inappropriate.
She was just excited for a moment, wanting to recruit a potential junior for Aretuza magic Academy, but forgot that Asa appearance was too outstanding for this era.
For ordinary civilians, washing their cheeks could make them look better, let alone a black-haired person who looked as exquisite as a legendary first-generation elf. For those proud and arrogant little Wizards, with Asa face there, the little Wizards might regret becoming a Wizard and being unable to reproduce at the speed of light.
She didn't want to see pregnant students after returning to the academy.
In fact, both of them misunderstood Asa.
Asa actually didn't care where he learned. If it weren't for the strategy progress prompted by the system, he wouldn't be very interested in ordinary Sorceresses, and would care more about where he could get better educational resources.
He preferred the communication of souls rather than a combination based on appearance.
Yes, right.
"No, why should I go far away?"
Asa looked at Tissaia in front of him, the four-hundred-year-old mage, one of the most outstanding people of her time, one of the five pillars of the Wizard's Council, and the Dean of Aretuza Academy, an idea came to his mind.
Yennefer also felt Asa thought and took a step forward, saying:
"Teacher, why don't you teach him yourself? Why give the quota of a genius mage to others?"
"Madam, if possible, I would like to learn by your side."
Asa also said following the trend.
A flash of movement flashed in the Dean's eyes, and then she felt it was more and more reasonable.
Accepting Asa as a student was all good and no harm to her.
Handing him over to Ban Ard Academy would only make Asa further and further away from Aretuza Academy. It would be better to simply accept him, and perhaps he could teach the next batch of academy students in the future.
Tissaia definitely didn't want to let go of such a genius. The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was feasible, and finally made up her mind.
"Alright then, your talent is indeed outstanding, and it would be a pity for me to give you to the other side."
Before Asa could express his stance, the Sorceress stepped forward and wrapped her arms around the mentor's waist:
"Tissaia, I'm very happy, you will definitely not regret it."
Asa looked on, two black-haired beauties, one charming, one intellectual, this scene was quite harmonious.
Becoming a Wizard doesn't require serving tea or anything. After confirming verbally in name, Tissaia directly accepted Asa as her first male disciple.
Traveling through as a Wizard, what should I do if my seniors are all Sorceresses?
Since she decided to teach him personally, Tissaia decided to take Asa to the place where Wizards gather, Thanedd Island.
Even if he didn't enter the Aretuza Sorceress Academy to continue his studies, Thanedd Island was a holy place for Northern Wizards.
On the island, except for the servants, there were almost no ordinary civilians. Outside of the Aretuza magic Academy, Thanedd Island had a town center exclusive to Wizards.
Asa needed to go to Thanedd Island to receive more professional training and knowledge, while Yennefer continued to stay in the Kingdom of Aedirn to serve as a court mage.
This meant the moment of separation had arrived.
Asa didn't have anything to pack. Useful things had already been brought into the space ring. After packing up, Tissaia turned and left, leaving only Asa and Yennefer in the room.
"Maybe I should have waited a few more days." Asa spread his hands.
"How about a quick one?"
The Sorceress wrapped her arms around Asa waist, her eyes charming.
"Uh, can't be quick."
"Then forget it, go, isn't a temporary separation for a longer reunion?"
Yennefer was quite open-minded. After becoming a Wizard, lifespan was almost not something Wizards needed to worry about. Reunions and separations were very common.
Asa could certainly just walk away, but he took out an exquisite gift box from the space.
"A farewell gift you prepared?"
Yennefer was very surprised.
"In these ten days, you almost never took a step out of the room, when did you have time to prepare this thing?"
The answer was, of course, that he had crafted it himself in another world. Previously, he had guessed that as long as his magic talent was detected, separation was inevitable, short as 3 years, long as 5 years.
Considering Yennefer's happy life, he specially customized this thing.
"When you are lonely, you will use it."
1:1 perfect replica, even the ravines on it were exactly the same as the original.
"I call it, Pure Unicorn."
"You have quite a lot of tricks. Do you want me to ride it? Next time I can dress up as the Lady of the Lake."
The two had known each other deeply, so Yennefer certainly knew what he was thinking. She swept a charming glance, her tone changed, and she said somewhat angrily,
"And do you have any misunderstanding about me? After tasting your flavor, who would look at others? It's you,"
The Sorceress's eyes became fierce,
"Don't let me feel that you are weak, just follow today's portion, less is not allowed."
"How can you feel it?"
"Portal spell, did you forget?"
"Can't it not be long-distance?"
"Just have the other party's coordinates, the portal spell is used for this."
Asa admitted that his imagination about Sorceresses and magic was a bit poor.
"Cough, it was my narrow-mindedness."
Asa awkwardly took the Unicorn back.
"Also, since you have embarked on this path, I hope you don't be impulsive. The road ahead is very long."
As the farewell was imminent, the two finally put aside the topic on the bed, and the conversation turned to the admonition of parting.
"You have a peculiar charm on you, be careful, don't stir up trouble."
"Hmm."
So Yennefer knew that too?
