Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 668: See the truth tomorrow noon (new book content)

On the last day, Li Qing finished his work early, took a shower, and then opened the magic scroll, which showed blue lettering, indicating the collection period had begun.

The school uniform must be collected within twenty-four hours before the school officially starts, or else, if not collected in time, entering the school will lead to very frightening consequences.

Li Qing excitedly rubbed his hands and took a few deep breaths to calm his enthusiasm.

Magic, tonight at midnight, the school will officially start, and he will truly be exposed to the extraordinary.

As for work, there seems to be no conflict between the two currently. Gray Magic Academy starts at midnight, and ever since he completed his practice of the Basic Meditation Technique and lit up the Light Ball, he only needs to meditate for two hours to be full of energy.

Although he now feels slightly unsteady due to excessive fireball practice and physically weak, it doesn't matter. After completing the basic meditation technique, spiritual power will replenish the body, providing abundant energy.

Although this process is lengthy, it's a crucial guarantee for a mage to have a healthy body.

Free of disease! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Lightly set the school uniform, the magic runes on the scroll quickly changed, forming a passageway like a circular funnel.

Li Qing rubbed his fingers before carefully reaching into the funnel, touched a piece of soft cloth, and then quickly pulled it out.

It's a black, large robe with a hood attached, the overall style is quite ominous, giving a sense of subconscious resistance at first glance.

It's completely a robe with an evil cult style.

Li Qing felt something was off.

When Li Qing put on the robe and the hood, standing in front of the full-length mirror, apart from an embroidered Gray Magic Academy badge, there wasn't anything flamboyant.

There must be something unknown, maybe it's magic runes, or it could be a very special medium.

Otherwise, a simple robe wouldn't emit such an intimidating aura, gloomy and sinister, making people feel uneasy.

"Wearing this out would definitely make people think I'm a cultist and get arrested within half an hour."

Murmuring a bit, ensuring the robe didn't pose any issues while now even the Light Ball in his mind burned brighter due to wearing it, Li Qing felt a little reassured.

Four more hours to go.

Li Qing ordered some takeout, feeling every second dragging by, as if nearing a moment of birth, a sense of imminence yet devoid of emotion.

Sitting on the edge of his bed, Li Qing couldn't help but shake his leg, finding it hard to endure, when his phone rang.

"Iron pot, with tears use a broken ladle, to replace worn-out pots, chased by wind and rain, no tears can mend the chimney, iron pot still expands inside the rain hole, pot will be sick.

Stop sweeping, easily encountering smoke and a minor stove, the green onion oil wind makes the black pot delightful within, the teeth deceive without a care, rain oil spills making the steel pot.

Urgency is doing something sick in the mud without care…"

Pulling out his phone, he couldn't help but raise a brow. It was the admin department manager from his company, a woman good at getting along and strong in ability, but with a passion for matchmaking.

Plainly put, she enjoys playing matchmaker, entirely driven by hobby, focusing on single people of older age in the company, especially an inveterate like Li Qing who hasn't found a girlfriend in four years.

This admin lady is undeterred, repeatedly facing failures and trying again with resilience.

Li Qing admires her persistence while feeling troubled.

Until once, she personally witnessed Li Qing's conversation skill, even she couldn't manage to get through his deep-dive peculiar chats, she retreated for a while and finally shifted to underground activity.

After pondering, Li Qing answered the call.

"Hello Sister Li, have you eaten?" Li Qing greeted cheerfully.

Sister Li skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Xiao Qing, I arranged a meeting with someone for Saturday, she's my seventh uncle's third niece's cousin's uncle's son's classmate, named Chen Chencheng. The girl is pretty, has never been in a relationship, and according to her birth date, zodiac sign, and selected characteristics, you two match at least ninety percent.

Meet on Saturday afternoon at 5 PM at Haogujusan A17, don't forget!"

Li Qing helplessly replied: "Sister Li, are you sure you want me to meet her? I don't think I'm up to it."

He usually communicates normally and gets along well with female colleagues in the company. Yet when it comes to relationships, everything changes significantly.

Previously, he visited a psychologist, who told him it was called 'Opposite-Sex Interaction Psychological Barrier Syndrome' and then coldly extracted two thousand yuan from Li Qing.

"No, you're capable, you need to trust yourself!" Sister Li stated firmly, without hesitation, "Don't worry, she's also awkward in conversations. According to modern online terminology, she's a steel girl forged with super alloy! I believe you'll have shared interests! Her family background is good, and the job is decent too."

"I…"

"That's decided. Regardless of the outcome, you'll only see results by trying. Hesitating here won't move you forward; you're at the age for action…"

"I understand, Sister Li, I'll be there on Saturday!"

After ending the call, Li Qing sighed deeply. Honestly, he's not young anymore, should probably start acting.

Though currently studying magic, embarking on a different path, he knows from recent learnings that the magic path isn't easily traversed — those strong mages are exceptionally talented, experiencing various encounters to succeed.

Finally, Li Qing sighed deeply, lamenting how he's reached the point of passively accepting a problematic woman as a blind date.

Having reached this point in life, Li Qing felt his life was a failure, um... quite a failure.

Throwing these thoughts aside, Li Qing quietly waited for midnight.

He checked the time, less than three minutes were left, placing the admission scroll on the ground, then donned the hood, hiding his face in shadow.

Three minutes swiftly passed.

The magic runes on the scroll began to swirl rapidly, like worms twisting on the scroll, eventually, in a flash, creating a black fissure big enough for a person to pass through.
