Wizard: I want to be a top student

"You--what did you say?"

"That Toynes is still alive."

For both of them, Toynes is a nightmare and a shadow, and this is more obvious for Penny.

Penny took a few deep breaths to suppress the throbbing in her heart.

"You said he became a demon pet?"

"It's very possible."

"That's just right. Kill him if you touch him." Penny suddenly reacted and her face changed again, "What you just meant was that the curse's power increased because he was nearby, last month?"

Ivan nodded solemnly.

The power of the Grudge Curse cannot increase for no reason. Toynes can transmit the power of the curse to them through the air, whether intentionally or unintentionally. After all, the curse mark on their arms is the secondary mark of the other party.

"That damn bastard, how come your life is so long?" Penny cursed angrily.

Although she said she had killed Toins, she was deeply afraid in her heart.

No matter what Toins has become now, he is a first-level wizard, and the two are just wizard apprentices. There is an essential difference in strength level.

In the beginning, the reason why Birrell was able to match Toines was that he borrowed other powers from his appearance. That change was irreversible, but in the end, Toines escaped.

After hearing the news, Penny was not in the mood to eat.

"What are you doing here at the Leah Singer Asylum?" she asked curiously after a moment of silence.

"Pick something, the water of Alva, have you heard of it?" Ivan replied.

"You're going to that secret place at the bottom of the sea, bastard, you've actually come this far." That secret place is not far from the Leah Singer Sanctuary. Of course Penny has heard of it, and the things produced in it can be used for refining. Water of Alva.

People who go to that secret realm are usually at the limit of third-class apprenticeship, which means that Ivan has reached the last step of his apprenticeship, which makes her feel frustrated.

"But don't be complacent. I am a fourth-level talent, and you are a third-level talent." Thinking of another question, Penny felt a little relieved, and then she realized that it was wrong to think so, "Anyway, you have to think more about it. Know how to take that step again.”

"Of course, I've always been a cautious person."

Both of them said this, and Ivan could feel the difficulty of becoming a wizard with poor talent, which made him more determined to become a wizard.

Soon after, the two left the restaurant and went back to their homes.

The next day.

Four ships from the four colleges of the Flash Vortex Alliance, carrying four teams, sailed away from the port of Windsong City and headed towards the location of the secret realm.

After less than half an hour of sailing, the ship began to slow down.

On the endless ocean, there is a sharp corner standing abruptly. When the boat gets closer, it turns out to be a two-story round tower. There is nothing around the round tower except sea water.

"arrive."

The ship is approaching.

The top of the round tower is not as high as a sea ship, and it is surrounded by ships in the middle, making it look so small and helpless.

Two wizards on duty walked out of the round tower and shouted to the people on the boat: "What are you doing standing still? Come down quickly." It was no wonder that he felt a little unhappy being stared at from a high position.

"Wizard Burns, your temper is still so short."

At the wizard's call, except for the personnel guarding the ship, people from the four teams fell around the round tower.

The round tower looks small, but it is actually large enough to accommodate everyone.

Following the instructions of Wizard Bernardson, Ivan jumped from the boat and came to the surrounding steps. The steps were soaked in sea water. When his feet fell, the sea water automatically drained away, revealing the wet rocky ground.

For a third-class apprentice, controlling such a circle of sea water is no problem.

Wizard Burns said angrily: "I've been guarding a place like this for half a year. It doesn't matter what I want. It's strange that I'm not in a hurry."

"It's coming soon. After one year, it's time to change to someone else."

The wizards on duty were from two different colleges, one was from Leah Singer Sanctuary, and the wizard Burns was from Riptide Twin Towers College, which could be seen from the logo on the wizard's robe.

Led by two wizards, the group came to the round tower, and there was a third floor below.

According to the location, the third floor is located under the sea water, going down the stairs on one side. The walls of the third floor are airtight and have bronze wall lamps that emit orange light.

The fourth floor.

The fifth floor.

The sixth floor.

The floor area of ​​the tower becomes wider as you go down. The bottom floor is the sixth floor, and there are no further steps down.

When he reached the ground, Ivan couldn't help but shrink his neck. It was too cold here.

The cold air comes from the column in the center of the tower. The column is four to five meters in diameter. It is made of some kind of mixed metal. There are runes like chains on the surface. It is unknown what is wrapped inside.

"Wait here, don't wander around and look around."

Bernardson gave instructions to the apprentices in the Mona ant farm hut, walked a few steps forward to the middle column, and stood in a position with three other wizards from different schools, preparing to cast the secret method.

The four of them gestured to each other and pointed at a certain rune on the column in front of them.

Ivan was surprised to see that the runes actually moved with their fingers. Isn't this a 'touch screen'?

While the four wizards were stirring the runes, they were silently reciting secret spells. The strings of runes had a chain reaction and started to rotate like gears on the surface of the cylinder. After a few seconds, a triangular plate fell from the cylinder in all directions.

The triangular plate is about thirty centimeters long and only two centimeters thick, floating directly in front of the wizard.

A gap appeared where the triangle fell, revealing the contents of the cylinder, a column made of ice crystals.

There was no cold air coming out, but the people around could feel the coldness coming from it, the kind of cold that froze the bones.

"Move aside."

Wizard Bernardson grabbed the triangle and turned around, signaling others not to stand behind the outer wall.

After the apprentice made way, he stepped forward and gently pushed the triangle. The triangle floated to a certain position on the outer wall, where there was also a rune pattern.

The wall began to shrink in all directions, forming a two-meter-long and wide window. Outside the window was the deep sea water, which was blocked outside by a layer of protective film.

At this time, the triangle was divided into multiple pieces, split into a larger one in the middle, and several smaller ones around, still in the shape of a triangle.

"Take them all."

As Bernardson waved his hand, the larger triangle in the middle fell into his own hands, and the other small triangles were delivered to the apprentice.

Like the others, Ivan took the half-palm-long triangle in his hand, with the number '29' on it, and he didn't know what it corresponded to.

"Be sure not to lose it, otherwise you have to be prepared to swim back from the sea."

"I will pass on the method of picking water-burned bubble fruit to each of you. As usual, it needs to be kept strictly confidential. Finally, I warn you that the academy does not prohibit fighting, but do not cause death. I will be watching you here."

After hearing what Wizard Bernardson said, Ivan and others nodded without agreement.

Afterwards, they signed a confidentiality agreement and also obtained all the information about water-burned bubble fruit and some information about the secret realm.

After learning about the secret realm, Ivan showed a look of surprise in his eyes.

The secret realm is not in this place, but somewhere under the ocean, and the way to enter the secret realm is also somewhat incredible.

"Who will go first?"

"Wizard Bernardson, let me try."

Under the gaze of others, Wayne took a few steps up and walked under the window.

Bernardson said that he could do whatever he wanted.

Wayne stared at the protective film that isolated the sea water for dozens of seconds at close range, but could not see any tricks.

"Hehe, everyone, I'll go first." He held the triangular block that had just been distributed in his hand, activated it, and jumped directly. The whole person crashed into the protective film where the window was located and disappeared in it.

At that moment, many people saw clearly that the sea water outside the protective film was real.

After Wayne, the apprentices came forward one after another and entered the secret realm through the window.

It was Ivan's turn. He jumped up and passed through the protective film to the outside of the round tower. As soon as he showed his head, he was pulled by a strong pulling force, pulling him to accelerate out. The protective force turned into a bubble around his body.

After he completely came out of the window, the bubble was completely separated from the protective film.

Wrapped in the bubble-like protective film, he could not actually touch the sea water outside.

"I don't know how the predecessors of wizards came up with the idea of ​​using ocean currents as a means of transportation." Ivan adjusted his body and sat down, letting the bubble carry him forward.

In fact, it was not the bubble like a protective film that was moving, but the columnar ocean current outside the bubble.

It was a pity that he couldn't see the scenery outside. He was not a bard, otherwise he would have been inspired to write a poem.

A few minutes later, Bubble passed through a thick layer of flowing protective film. The sky was bright all around, and an empty field came into view. The most conspicuous thing on the field was the erected spires, which were as many as hundreds.

The place where Bubble brought him was located in the sky, in the ocean current column spreading downward from the sky. He rode the winding ocean current column and continued to go down, and finally approached a spire below.

Ivan could see clearly that the ocean current column he was riding was connected to the top of the spire. The lower he went, the smaller the diameter of the column formed by the ocean current.

"It's time to go down."

When he was less than ten meters away from the ground, he activated another node on the triangle block, and Bubble shook violently, throwing him out of the ocean current column.

He fell from the air and stepped lightly on the land.

There was crystal-colored grass on the ground. The grass was soft and tough, and just above his knees. Looking around, this kind of 'water-burning grass' covered almost every inch of the ground around him.

This is the space inside the secret realm.

The secret realm is a place opened up by the academy to cultivate unique resources. For example, this secret realm located in the ocean can cultivate a fruit called 'water-burning bubble fruit' through planting water-burning grass and a special environment.

The water-burning bubble fruit can be used as the raw material for refining Alva Water.

The prescription of Alva Water is top secret and there is no way to find out. So far, he only knows that the main ingredient of Alva Water is water-burning bubble fruit, and he doesn't know anything else.

Regarding the promotion of wizards, he is not arrogant enough to try to deduce the formula himself. This is unrealistic. He only has one chance to be promoted.
