"Super Sensory Spell?"
A look of doubt appeared in Link's eyes. This was a spell he had never heard of before.
Professor Sprout, however, nodded and continued to speak, "Yes, the Super Sensory Spell. It is quite a niche spell, but it can enhance your perception. Of course, the perception I'm talking about here doesn't just refer to your ability to perceive spell models, but to full-range perception. Hearing, sight, touch, smell, taste, and even that kind of intuition in the dark, it can all be enhanced. So I think it should be able to help you."
"Really?" Link spoke somewhat half-believingly.
What he didn't understand was that Professor Sprout described the Super Sensory Spell as being too powerful. If the Super Sensory Spell really was as Professor Sprout said, then it should already have become a required course for every combat wizard. After all, this kind of all-around enhancement to perception would be way too "broken" in combat.
However, the current reality was that not only was the Super Sensory Spell rarely mentioned in the original work, but even after Link came through, it was the first time he had heard of it. This was clearly unreasonable.
The doubt on Link's face was naturally seen by Professor Sprout, but she did not explain to Link. Instead, she gave a strange smile and then directly said, "All right, let's try it first. First, the activation and ending incantations for the Super Sensory Spell are 'Super Sense Now' and 'Super Sense End' respectively."
"To successfully cast this spell, you must pronounce every syllable accurately. Next, the wand movement is also very key. I need you to first pinch up your wand and draw a semicircle in midair with its tip, like this, then draw it like this again…" Professor Sprout spoke slowly, and at the same time gave a demonstration.
And when she finally completely said "Super Sense Now," a faint blue light appeared in her eyes.
Having activated the Super Sensory Spell, Professor Sprout took a deep breath, and then her brows furrowed, "Oh! Link, just how many onions did you eat at lunch? Why is the smell so strong?"
After speaking, she waved a hand in front of her nose and hurriedly muttered a "Super Sense End," leaving Link standing there somewhat awkwardly, "Uh, not much, just a little bit, really just a little bit."
"All right then, let's not dwell on that. Link, you try it too." Professor Sprout grinned, stepped back to make space, and said, "Of course you won't succeed. After all, the Super Sensory Spell isn't something that can be learned casually. Even I had to practice for a month back then to…"
Professor Sprout's words stopped halfway, because she suddenly found that Link's wand movement was almost an exact replica of her demonstration, and as for the incantation chanting, there was no need to even mention it.
"Super Sense Now."
As Link slowly uttered the last syllable of the incantation, a blue light slightly dimmer than the one in Sprout's eyes appeared in his pupils.
At the same time, Link felt that the entire world around him had completely changed.
Everything in the greenhouse before him became clearer than usual, and at the same time, a large wave of strange smells, mixed with cow dung, flowers, and the earthy scent, rushed into his nose.
Not only that, the feeling of tiny dust particles in the air touching his skin, the sound of bugs crawling in the bushes, the sound of plant seeds slowly growing in the soil, all the information he usually ignored was now being poured into his brain through his newly heightened senses.
To Link, this was a completely new experience, but it wasn't a pleasant one. In fact, at the very moment he successfully activated the Super Sensory Spell, Link understood why the spell hadn't been widely used among wizards.
Because this kind of sensory enhancement, the feeling of endless information flooding in, was just too painful.
Without even a pause, Link's expression changed instantly into one resembling someone wearing a mask of pain right after he activated the Super Sensory Spell.
"Oh! Merlin's beard! Link, you actually succeeded!" Professor Sprout shouted loudly, but her tone carried no joy, only panic.
The next moment, she frantically raised her wand, pointed it at Link, and said, "Spell Stop!"
With a flash of white light, the blue in Link's eyes disappeared, and Link himself collapsed onto the ground.
"Link, are you okay!" Professor Sprout rushed forward to help Link up and said, "It's all my fault! I should have explained it to you earlier! To be able to use the Super Sensory Spell freely, you must first go through rigorous training, otherwise all that sudden information flooding in can easily make the caster go stupid!"
After speaking, Sprout waved four fingers in front of Link's face and said, "Link, quickly tell me how many this is?"
Link didn't respond. At this moment, he was drenched in sweat from the tormenting sensation he just experienced, lying in Professor Sprout's arms and staring blankly at the greenhouse ceiling, looking dumbfounded.
Seeing this, Professor Sprout was in despair.
However, Link at this moment was not, as Professor Sprout imagined, made stupid by the Super Sensory Spell. In fact, right now in front of his eyes, a bright notification was flashing!
[Super Sensory Spell lv1 acquired!]
The reason why Link lost control when activating the Super Sensory Spell just now was essentially because his mental strength was insufficient, or in purely scientific terms, Link's brain hadn't fully developed yet and wasn't advanced enough, so he couldn't adapt to that sudden sensory sharpness.
And now, if he wanted to solve this problem, he needed to consciously ignore unrelated information.
This wasn't an easy thing to do. Just as Professor Sprout had said, normal people usually need a long time of training to develop this ability.
But it was different for Link, because when he gained the skill level of the Super Sensory Spell, he also directly received the related training knowledge and experience.
This meant that Link only needed a little practice to be able to apply the Super Sensory Spell in observing spell models.
Realizing this, Link couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.
Of course, this made him look even more silly.
———
Half an hour later, Link finally managed to convince Professor Sprout that he hadn't turned into an idiot. Looking at Professor Sprout's red eyes, Link was both speechless and slightly touched.
Although Professor Sprout had been a little playful earlier, no matter what, she truly cared about Link from the heart.
"Link, practicing the Super Sensory Spell is very dangerous. Until you fully master it, every time you cast the Super Sensory Spell, you must have a professor present with you, understand?"
Professor Sprout spoke with a voice still carrying a bit of sobbing. Hearing this, Link nodded and also lightly patted Professor Sprout's back twice as a gesture of comfort.
Seeing this, Professor Sprout was finally satisfied. But very soon, it was as if she suddenly remembered something, she pulled out a letter from her pocket and handed it to Link while saying, "One more thing, your mother recently heard that your grades are starting to improve. So, to help you catch up with the other students' learning progress more quickly, she signed you up for a tutoring class."
