Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 1303 - 520: Apprentice Dilemma

The classroom fell into a brief silence.

The apprentices looked at each other, clearly puzzled by this seemingly simple yet profound question.

Finally, the Danasu Race half-blood named Sied raised his hand and spoke:

"Master, resonance is... the phenomenon of vibration enhancement when frequencies match?"

This was a typical textbook-style answer, in line with the traditional teaching style of the Vindar Colony.

"From a deconstruction perspective, you’re not wrong."

Ron drew two waveform diagrams on the blackboard:

"But what I want to ask is a deeper question—why do two independent existences choose to vibrate at the same frequency?"

He turned to the entire class:

"Can anyone answer this question?"

Gareen furrowed his brow:

"Because... they are influenced by the same external forces?"

"That’s one perspective, but not comprehensive." Ron continued to guide:

"Lira, when you observe others’ emotions with your third eye, have you ever wondered why you can ’see’ emotions?"

Lira pondered for a moment:

"Because... emotions also have some kind of frequency? My eyes can perceive this frequency?"

"You’re very close, but there’s still a crucial piece missing."

Ron added a third waveform to the blackboard, which interfered with the previous two:

"True resonance involves not only passive frequency matching but also active ’understanding’ and ’response’."

He walked up to Lira:

"When you perceive Sied’s tension, your third eye is not just ’seeing’, but ’understanding’ why he’s tense."

"This understanding naturally adjusts your spirit frequency to a state similar to his, thus forming an emotional connection."

"That’s why you are affected by others’ emotions.

It’s your empathy that is too strong, not that you’re too sensitive."

This explanation made Lira somewhat realize:

"So... I need to learn to control the depth of this ’understanding’?"

"Precisely." Ron nodded in approval:

"Resonance is not an all-or-nothing switch; it’s a skill where the intensity can be adjusted."

"When you learn to consciously choose the objects and depth of resonance, your talent becomes not a burden, but a true tool."

He turned to the entire class: "This principle applies to each one of you."

Ron walked over to Sied:

"Your energy transformation ability is fundamentally a form of resonance—with different forms of energy."

"Currently, you can only process light energy and heat energy, not because your ability is limited, but simply because you only ’understand’ these two forms of energy."

Sied’s emerald green skin glowed slightly, clearly deeply attracted by this perspective:

"Then, how can I expand this ’understanding’?"

"Through observation, experience, feeling."

Ron took out several small crystals from the storage bag.

These were brought back from the ’Elemental Night’, originally intended to serve as casting media, now transformed into teaching tools unexpectedly.

"These are elemental crystals of different attributes, don’t rush to convert them; first try to ’listen’ to their ’voices’."

He handed a blue crystal to Sied:

"This is a frost crystal. Close your eyes, don’t think about how to use it, but feel what it wants to tell you."

Sied cautiously took the crystal and followed the instructions to close his eyes.

A few seconds later, his expression changed subtly:

"It’s... very quiet, but not silent. More like waiting, waiting for the arrival of spring?"

"Excellent perception."

Ron nodded with satisfaction:

"The essence of frost isn’t cooling, but ’pausing’—temporarily stopping the active molecular movement, waiting for the appropriate time to re-engage."

"When you understand this concept of ’pausing’, you will learn how to resonate with frost energy."

Next, he turned to Gareen:

"Your situation is more complex, the metal arm is not only a tool but also a mirror of your emotions."

Gareen subconsciously looked at his metal right arm:

"Yes, whenever I’m angry, it becomes sharp. When I’m sad, it becomes fragile. I can’t control this transformation."

"It’s because you’ve been trying to ’control’ it."

Ron shook his head:

"But what’s truly needed is not control, but communication."

"Your metal arm is not a lifeless object; it has already fused with your life energy. It feels your emotions because it cares about you."

This perspective left Gareen perplexed: "Cares about me?"

"Of course." Ron’s tone became gently instructive:

"It becomes sharp in anger to protect you; it becomes fragile in sadness to share your pain. This is a kind of resonance!"

Gareen gazed at his metal arm.

"Then, how should I... communicate with it?"

"Replace complaints with gratitude, force with understanding."

Ron guided:

"When it changes due to your emotions, do not rush to restore it to its original state.

First, thank it for caring about your emotions, then gently tell it your true needs."

The entire classroom fell into contemplation.

This teaching method was distinctly different from the technical guidance the apprentices had previously received.

"Master." A previously silent apprentice raised his hand:

"What you said makes a lot of sense, but in practical application, won’t this ’resonance’ method be too inefficient?"

"Alfred, right?"

Ron remembered the name of this apprentice:

"Your concern is quite reasonable. But I want to ask back: which is more important, efficiency or effect?"

Alfred, a half-blood with a small amount of Dragon Race lineage, capable of rapidly raising the temperature of certain body parts:
