Wizard: I want to be a top student

The following days were extremely fulfilling and busy for Ivan.

He needed to refine potions, make magic items, improve linguistics, learn anatomical knowledge and study insect breathing. He also needed to derive medium magic stone water, perfect the black magic hand and explore the rune beam array.

Especially the latter few items, which required the consumption of wisdom light to assist.

Just like a white horse passing by, more than two months passed quietly.

"Finally it's done."

In the dormitory alchemy room, Ivan stared at the glass dish in front of him with a sharp eye. There was a layer of crystal potion in it. The most conspicuous thing was the ink ball in the middle of the potion that didn't disperse, like a continuously retracting black jellyfish.

The black jellyfish squirmed from time to time, posing a fangs and claws.

In his eyes, it looked so lively and bright, extraordinary.

The difficulty of refining this medium magic stone water was not ordinary. For this reason, he successively consumed a 2nd level, a 3rd level, and a 5th level of wisdom light, and it took a lot of time and a lot of valuable materials.

After a moment, he took the first medium magic stone water in his life.

"You bastard, take my black magic hand."

In a moment, illusions appeared all around, and a two-horned monster with animal pupils and fangs appeared, spitting fragrance at him.

When enemies meet, they are particularly discerning. Ivan slapped out a palm, which was clearly a smaller version of the black magic hand, and slapped the black-robed people around him. He felt much better.

This was naturally not the black-robed person in the Kanda magic stone mine, but an illusion caused by the deep resentment in the magic stone. Compared with the former, his strength was much weaker and it was difficult to resist his palm.

Strength: 4.6, Agility: 6.3, Constitution: 5.5, Spirit: 11

It is worthy of being medium magic stone water. It increased his mental strength by 2.6 scales at a time. This effect is not as ordinary as the old man at the sales office said.

"There are still side effects."

Ivan could clearly feel that his body had developed a strange resistance, resisting him from taking the second spiritual potion. It would take some time to eliminate it, and he estimated that it would take more than half a month.

This time is not much. He had also had this resistance when he took the magic crystal water before, but it was not so obvious.

[Pharmacy experience +900]

[Pharmacy: lv5 (1216/1500)]

Since the medium magic stone water was derived by himself, it must be different from the medium magic stone water outside. It can be called a new potion, and the experience points obtained are not low.

When refining other potions in the past, it also brought him a lot of experience points, which made the pharmacy data advance by leaps and bounds.

After a good rest, Ivan summed up the gains and losses and began to refine the second medium magic stone water.

The main material of this potion is naturally medium magic stone. Each time it is refined, 4 pieces are needed. The other materials can be purchased on the market. The total value of all raw materials exceeds 500 magic stones, which is really not cheap.

The only advantage is that there is no need to spend credits on a large scale.

"Huahua."

Under the baking of the flame, the ink-colored potion made of melted medium magic stone in the glass dish began its own resistance, stirring the potion liquid in the glass dish like a surging wave.

If there were outsiders, they would be frightened.

Ivan stretched out his hand to touch the potion liquid calmly, and a rune constructed by spiritual power formed and fell on the ink-colored potion, causing its tumbling momentum to drop by two gears, as if it had encountered a nemesis.

This is also what he comprehended from the original stone array disk, which he named the 'God Binding Rune', which is integrated with the Black Magic Hand.

At this time, he used it to refine the water of medium magic stone.

He didn't know that the skillful use of runes to assist in refining potions was a skill that only middle and high-level pharmacists had, and those who could do this were usually formal wizards.

[Pharmacy Experience +90]

[Pharmacy: lv5 (1306/1500)]

Half an hour later, the second medium magic stone water lived up to his expectations and was successfully refined.

He still didn't stop, and was ready to refine the third one in one go.

The fourth one.

——

In the past period of time, he has also made considerable progress in learning basic spells.

He has successively learned spells such as Plant Activity Drainage, Secondary Energy Fireball, Frost Air, Ice Arrow, Wood Arrow, Strong Light, Stun, Tired Hand, Shadow Eyes, Green Shade Smoke, Acid Splash, Thunder Flash, Mud to Rock, Burning Touch, etc.

And the energy particle research courses corresponding to each spell.

He is preparing to optimize spells and develop a tactical system suitable for himself.

[Energy Particle Science: Lv3 (266/300)]

This made the experience of Energy Particle Science double up, with a total increase of more than 200 experience points, not far from level 4.

However, a lot of credits were consumed. Counting the 50 credits he exchanged for delivering the "Green Tree Star" to the enchanting workshop, there are now a total of 151 credits left.

He did not accept other enchanting tasks because they all required leaving the academy. He did not want to leave for the time being and needed time to settle down. Moreover, his credits were enough for the time being.

In addition, biology was upgraded to level 3.

Linguistics was upgraded to level 3.

However, there was no significant progress in the Great Knight's comprehension and the exploration of insect breathing.

Ivan overestimated his ability and underestimated the difficulty of creating a breathing method for a race, even the simplest and most basic one, even if the Xunmu Silkworm has a spring bud similar to the seed of life in its body.

It just proves the saying that everything is difficult at the beginning.

Fortunately, there has been some progress in the cultivation of Xunmu Silkworm. He specially developed a medicine elemental stone water for Xunmu Silkworm, which is used as food for the Xunmu Silkworm tribe. It is more efficient and cost-effective than directly feeding elemental stones.

More importantly, the elemental stone water is unanimously loved by the Xunmu Silkworm tribe.

Through Jiang Xia's water, Xunmu Silkworm absorbed more curse power of the demon resentment curse.

If the demon resentment curse is ignored as a curse, it is a wonderful life energy. Xunmu Silkworm has been significantly enhanced compared to the past, and individual vitality, strength, skin toughness, and elemental resistance have all been improved.

Then, the curse power in the curse seal on his arm was not enough, and the road to the enhancement of Xunmu Silkworm came to an abrupt end.

This is a matter of laughter and tears.

Today, the curse seal of the demon resentment curse still exists on his arm, and the curse energy contained in it is negligible. He has tried various means, but there is no way to eradicate it, so he can only let it go.

Ivan sometimes thought that if Toins knew that he had achieved such success by using the abandoned plan, he would be confused and wonder why he was not as good as an apprentice. His face must be very interesting at that time.

…

In the three-story round tower, Ivan came to visit his mentor Randall.

“Good morning, respected mentor.”

He is now 177 cm tall, and in front of Randall, who is like a giant bear, he is still like a child.

When the two stood face to face, Ivan always had a feeling of ‘looking up to a mountain’, and he felt better after sitting down.

“Hello to you too.” Randall glanced at him, was slightly stunned, and then nodded in appreciation, “Ivan, your strength has improved very quickly, so I feel much more at ease.”

Hearing this, Ivan had a bad premonition.

“Mentor, did something happen?”

“Mien was injured in the mission a few days ago, it’s not a big deal.”

Randall said it was okay, so it must be nothing.

However, he then added: "Recently, this area is indeed not peaceful, so be careful if you go out."

"I know."

In fact, Ivan also heard some things. The number of apprentices who died in the past few months was relatively high.

He heard it from Came. Came emphasized Wayne, who had a fifth-level talent. Every time this man went on a mission, his teammates would die. He has become a recognized teammate nemesis, but Wayne's talent and background are first-class, and no one dares to trouble him so far.

Randall jumped to another question: "Tell me about your understanding of magic pets?"

What does this mean? Could it be that there are any second-hand magic pets?

Ivan was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he said truthfully: "The magic pet is a contract concluded through the witch array. It is equivalent to the wizard's housekeeper, the best experimental assistant, and the wizard's second life. For apprentices, it is also a great help."

"Yes, the magic pet is equivalent to the wizard's second life. When the wizard is irreparably injured, the wizard can use the magic pet to save his life. Remember the wizard Toins?"

"Teacher, you don't mean-"

Hearing Randall's words, Ivan couldn't help but stand up.

Randall nodded: "You are right, the wizard Toins is very likely still alive. The wizards of the patrol team and the hunting team have gone to look for him, and there will be news soon."

This is really bad news.

Ivan's face darkened quickly, and he sat down in a daze.

As a teacher who led him to the path of wizardry, Ivan often thought of Toins, but he never thought of keeping him alive.

Not to mention other aspects, just taking the curse of demon resentment as an example, Toins is alive and close to a big trouble.

Ivan knew that the Swift Wood Silkworm tribe had its own carrying capacity limit. He couldn't bet that the Swift Wood Silkworm's carrying capacity would exceed Toins's ability to transmit the curse power. Even if he wanted to, Toins would not let him do so.

Once Toins noticed the clues, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Randall continued, "Ivan, don't worry. No matter what the situation is, you will always be my Randall's disciple. No one can change this. I promise."

Hearing Randall's resounding words, he felt a little more at ease.

Ivan sighed secretly. The shadow left by Toins on him was really not small.

"Teacher, where did Toins appear?"

"It should be on an island. Anyway, it's not close."

The two chatted for a while, and Ivan's heart gradually calmed down.

He is no longer the same person as he was on Lar Island, and Toins is no longer the Toins wizard.

According to the analysis of some wizards, Toins now only retains the body of a magic pet, which is equivalent to lingering on. The situation must be very bad, otherwise he would not have stayed away from the academy for so long.

"Ivan, remember, come to me if you have any questions. Your mentor is quite capable."

"I know. He is the best insect controller in the academy."

"Yes, he is the best insect controller, haha."

Before leaving, Randall emphasized it again, giving Ivan a reassurance.

Wizard Randall would not give such an excellent disciple to anyone else, let alone that bad wizard who misled his students.
