Chapter 124: A New Supernatural Profession
Chapter 124: A New Supernatural Profession
A Willpower Trial?
It seems like the previous trial was some kind of illusion.
But this one felt so real!
Without much hesitation, Rain and Anna continued reading intently.
After a long while, Rain finally exhaled, his face lit up with joy, only to furrow his brows the next moment.
It turned out that the Willpower Trial was a method used by the Druid Circle to select and test new members. Those who passed the trial were deemed ready to begin practicing the Basic Meditation Technique.
Attached to the trial was a record of the Basic Meditation Technique.
However, Rain was a bit troubled. Recalling how Anna had triggered the wooden talisman while he had no reaction, he wondered if he could cultivate the Druid's Basic Meditation Technique.
At that moment, Anna turned to Rain, her eyes burning with anticipation and a hint of trepidation. "Rain, can I learn this meditation technique?"
As Rain's strength rapidly increased, Anna felt a growing sense of anxiety, as if he was drifting further away from her.
This feeling peaked when she peered through the door crack earlier and saw Rain chatting animatedly with that elegant noble lady.
Now, with the meditation technique in front of her, Anna desperately wanted to learn it. Although she wasn't sure what abilities she would gain, she had heard countless legends about those from the mystical side.
Regardless, she believed that learning it would make her much stronger than she was now.
"Of course you can," Rain nodded without hesitation.
Even if he might not be able to cultivate the Druid's Basic Meditation Technique, it seemed highly likely that Anna would have no issues.
In fact, up until now, Rain still couldn't figure out if it was the moonlight that triggered the changes in the Silver Tome or if Anna's touch was also an essential part of it. Or perhaps there were other conditions required?
Based on Rain's guess, this time, it might also be because of Anna, just like with the wooden talisman.
As they flipped through the pages, suddenly, a green light emanated from the Silver Tome.
When the green light illuminated them, their minds were abruptly filled with the content and cultivation method of the Basic Meditation Technique.
Both Rain and Anna exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise and awe at this magical phenomenon.
After spending some time studying the content and cultivation method of the Basic Meditation Technique, Rain confirmed that he, too, could cultivate it.
However, he wasn't sure how effective it would be.
But one thing was certain—he could learn it.
According to the cultivation method, the prerequisite for practicing the Basic Meditation Technique was to have mental power surpassing that of ordinary people, and both Rain and Anna met this requirement. The Willpower Trial was designed for this very purpose.
Based on Rain's rough estimation, the threshold was around 10 points of mental power, nearly double that of an average person. Rain possessed 12 points, making it significantly easier for him than for Anna.
Additionally, after observing the content of the Basic Meditation Technique in his mind, Rain understood why Endre's diary had no related records.
It was because the content of the Basic Meditation Technique consisted of three-dimensional symbols that became increasingly complex as one progressed.
No wonder the Druid Circle used green light to transmit this knowledge.
Just as Rain was about to attempt cultivating the Basic Meditation Technique, there was a knock on the door again.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Before Rain could say 'come in', the door was pushed open from the outside.
Lagrey stood there with a mischievous expression, her eyes darting between the two of them.
Sensing Lagrey's peculiar gaze, Anna lowered her head, only to realize that she and Rain were still holding hands, their bodies pressed close together as they had been studying the Silver Tome.
Anna's face flushed with embarrassment, and she quickly withdrew her fair hand from Rain's, leaping away from him like a startled rabbit.
To be fair, Lagrey had misjudged Rain and Anna. In truth, their experience had been so extraordinary that they hadn't given any thought to romantic entanglements. Holding hands was a result of Rain's need to protect Anna during the trial.
Their close proximity was due to their shared fascination with the Silver Tome's mystical changes.
"What are you two up to? I've knocked twice already," Lagrey said, her eyes narrowing as she glanced at them.
Anna's face turned crimson, and she lowered her head in shame.
Rain, on the other hand, was taken aback. Apparently, Lagrey had already come by while he and Anna were undergoing the Willpower Trial. No wonder she had opened the door without waiting for his permission.
"Anna, have you checked the time? Do you plan to sleep here tonight?" Lagrey teased, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
"No, no!" Anna's face flushed even more, and she waved her hands frantically.
"Rain, thank you for today. I'll head back to sleep now. You should rest early too." With that, Anna quickly pushed Lagrey out of the room.
Before leaving, Lagrey gave Rain a meaningful look with her beautiful eyes.
Soon after, the sound of their footsteps descending the stairs reached Rain's ears.
Rain shook his head, clearing his mind of any lingering thoughts.
At that moment, having just obtained the Basic Meditation Technique, he was like a boy engrossed in a video game, with no time to spare for his girlfriend.
Rain promptly began to visualize the first three-dimensional symbol in his mind, following the cultivation method of the Basic Meditation Technique.
This three-dimensional symbol, as described in the Basic Meditation Technique, is known as the Will Rune.
The Will Rune is a rather intricate three-dimensional pattern that requires one to vividly visualize it in their mind.
According to the cultivation method, successfully visualizing the first eight Will Runes in one go is considered entering the first stage.
Of course, the primary purpose of the Meditation Technique is to gradually enhance one's Mental Power by visualizing the Will Runes.
After a few attempts, Rain was pleasantly surprised to find that on his best try, he successfully visualized seven Will Runes in one go, just one short of reaching the first stage as described in the cultivation method.
However, at this moment, Rain felt a throbbing sensation in his temples accompanied by a subtle pain, indicating that he had reached his current limit in practicing the Meditation Technique.
Hmm, this was similar to the Knight Breath Technique, where there was an implicit time limit each day, and after reaching the body's limit, one needed to rest and gradually recover.
At the same time, although he hadn't triggered a class change or any other event, Rain had a vague premonition that something would likely happen when he reached the first stage of his Meditation Technique.
For now, what he needed to do was to quickly complete this final step, as he had already successfully visualized seven Will Runes in one go, just one short of the goal.
Soon, Rain came up with the simplest method—adding attribute points.
He added one point to his Mental Attribute, and if that didn't work, he would add two points. Rain was confident that he could easily handle the remaining eighth Will Rune.
The flawless version is available on 69shu.com!
Of course, cultivating the first seven Will Runes to slowly enhance Mental Power was the approach most people took, albeit at a slower pace.
That night, Rain, feeling a bit weary, fell into a deep sleep.
Minster Province Border.
Somewhere in the forest.
A tall figure in a gray robe with a hood walked southward. From the occasional glimpse of her dark hair, it seemed to be the female elf who had come from Ferdinand Forest.
Suddenly, she stopped and slightly lifted her head, revealing a clear face under the hood. As she approached, she clearly sensed the fluctuations caused by the triggering of the Trial Book.
She frowned, her eyes moved slightly, and she muttered, "How is this possible?"
"The triggering of the amulet could be a coincidence, but to trigger the Trial Book, certain conditions must be met."
The next day, the first thing Rain did after waking up was to ponder how to complete the Basic Meditation Technique, as the fact that he was just one step away from reaching the first stage of the technique made him feel like a cat scratching at his heart.
After some thought, Rain looked at his character panel and noticed that the easiest profession to level up was the Dog Trainer, currently at level 2 (292/300).
Although he hadn't taken 'Cookie' on night patrols recently, Rain had raised the Dog Trainer profession to this level by crafting high-quality dog food and feeding it to 'Cookie'.
S
After returning, he prepared a sumptuous meal for 'Cookie', successfully leveling up the Dog Trainer profession to level 3 (1/500) and gaining one skill point and one attribute point.
After leveling up the Dog Trainer, Rain handed 'Cookie' over to Mint and eagerly returned to his room.
Without hesitation, Rain added one attribute point to his Mental Attribute, instantly increasing his Mental Power from 12 to 13 points.
Rain immediately felt a sense of clarity, although the increase in power wasn't significant.
Then, Rain began attempting to visualize the first eight Will Runes of the Basic Meditation Technique again.
First Will Rune
Seventh Will Rune
Eighth Will Rune!

With the increase in Mental Power, Rain felt that his perception of his surroundings had changed.
It wasn't just an improvement in eyesight, but an overall enhancement of his senses, including hearing and smell, along with a deeper transformation. His perception became sharper! Rain vaguely sensed various energy particles floating in the air around his body.
This sensation was particularly intense when he closed his eyes.
However, when Rain looked at the Arcane Apprentice profession panel, his lips twitched.
Thanks to alksjdfwiot for the 500 reward.
