Wizard: I want to be a top student

Small bazaar in the trading area, pharmacy.

A figure walked in from the door, and Orrick could feel the aura of the other party. Almost every time they met, the other party had different degrees of improvement, which was enviable.

"Ivan, please come in quickly."

"There are no potions for sale this time."

Seeing Orrick's enthusiastic face, Ivan poured a basin of cold water on him in advance to cool him down.

"It's okay, just come and chat with me." Orrick's face remained unchanged.

"Orick, remember what you said that time." Ivan said seriously, and his momentum spread out.

At this moment, Orrick further sensed the level of his strength.

The limit of a third-class apprentice!

Orrick couldn't help but widen his eyes. He had overestimated the other party's strength in his heart, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated it by a few degrees. He actually came to this step so quickly. Is this still an apprentice from Tidal Island?

"You really didn't forget it?"

"Of course not, I've been waiting for this day. No force would reject a genius like you."

Oric knew his talent in pharmacy and enchantment. Such a person would be someone to be won over no matter where he was. He was not vague and agreed on the spot and prepared to contact the elders at home.

"I almost forgot, Ivan, what level of talent are you?"

"You don't know?"

Ivan looked at him blankly. Oric has always been smart, but he would make such a mistake.

"I remember you never said it." Oric said with certainty. He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, but he didn't show it. "I value your talent. Talent can't deceive people."

"You don't ask me what I said." Ivan was speechless for a while, and said frankly: "Third-level talent, with wood as the main element, followed by fire and water."

"Third-level, not bad." Oric muttered, and then contacted his elders.

Seeing his secret mark light up, Ivan wisely left the pharmacy first and went to the nearby enchantment shop to order some materials.

When he returned, Oric called him: "Come on, follow me, the elder wants to see you."

"In the academy?"

"Yes, the elder works in the academy, and probably wants to talk to you first to see what your intentions are."

After listening to Oric's explanation, Ivan didn't think so in his heart. The so-called elder should be an apprentice. The hasty appointment showed that the other party didn't take it seriously, but he still decided to go with Oric.

Let's try it first.

The other party's residence is also in the living area, closer to the outside of the ant land barrier. It is a separate house. The house is not big and the environment is better than the dormitory.

In the hall of the house, Ivan met the elder of the Rich family.

He is tall and thin, with a short and hard mustache on his face, and his eyes are deep in his eye sockets, giving people a serious and rigid feeling.

"Elder John, this is Ivan whom I told you about. He is currently at the limit of a third-class apprentice." Orick greeted him and introduced the people he brought with him.

"Orick, please go out for a while. I will talk to your friend." Old John made a request.

Orick glanced at Ivan, gestured to him, and left the living room of the Rich family.

"You must be Mr. Marichatton, I have heard Orick mention you more than once." Old John smiled and asked him to sit down, and the serious temperament on his face disappeared.

"I have traded with Orick many times. The quality of the medicinal materials sold by the Rich family has always been good and trustworthy." Ivan also said politely.

"Haha, quality has always been what my Rich family pursues, and we never dare to slack off." Old John laughed happily, and then he said, "You are from Tidal Island, right? I have been there when I was young. It is a beautiful place.

You can grow so quickly to the current level. I believe what Orrick said. You do have extraordinary talents in refining medicine and enchanting. Your works, whether it is the mental power recovery potion or the Green Tree Star, are very good--"

Old John caught him and praised him. The more he praised him, the more Ivan felt that the other party wanted to rip him off. It is estimated that he will ask for a lot of money in a while.

"I actually heard about your other side." When he was a little impatient, Old John slowly got to the point, "It happened two days ago. I heard that you killed a blood hunter for the academy and beat back the bandits."

Ivan frowned slightly. Didn't he say that it should be kept strictly confidential? Why is the inside of the academy like a sieve, and these irrelevant people have found out.

Say this, is it to plot the Water of Alva?

Old John's next sentence confirmed his thoughts.

"Alva Water is a good thing. Two is just right for promotion. Three would be extremely dangerous and a life-or-death situation."

"Elder Richie, I will not sell any Alva Water." Ivan rejected it outright. He never thought of giving Alva Water to others, not to mention that it was strictly prohibited by the academy.

"Don't worry about the academy. We have our own way to ensure that no one will bother you because of this." Old John no longer concealed his intention and directly stated his intention.

"No need. All Alva Water will only be used on me." Ivan refused again and then reminded: "Elder Richie, let's talk about other things."

Seeing that he was so ignorant, Old John's smile disappeared and returned to his original serious look.

...

While the two were talking alone, Orik was waiting in the yard in front.

"Even the clan leader is unwilling to come forward, so it will be difficult to negotiate. I hope Ivan won't blame him." Orik thought with worry, how could such a shrewd person like him not know the attitude of the clan.

He watched Ivan grow up step by step, and really recognized Ivan's talents, so he wanted to let the Rich family and Ivan form a good relationship. When Ivan became an official wizard, the Rich family would also benefit a lot.

After a while, Ivan was seen walking out of the hall quickly, with no trace of happiness on his face.

"Evan, how did the conversation go?"

"No, I can't afford your resources."

Although Ivan's tone of reply was calm, Orric could hear a hint of anger in it.

Seeing him walking out of the yard without looking back, Orric thought for a while and decided to go to the living room to understand the situation first.

"Elder, why didn't the negotiation come to an end?"

"He didn't agree with the conditions offered by the Rich family, so naturally the deal wasn't completed."

"What are the conditions?"

Orric came to the hall and found the elder still sitting there, so he asked directly.

Old John stared ahead with a dull gaze, making it difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry. When he heard his question, he did not hide Orik, who was one of his own, and calmly took out a draft of the contract regulations.

"Must hit the wizard level within three years?"

"If you don't succeed, you have to find a way to return a promotion resource, and you have to refine medicine and enchant for the Rich family free of charge for twenty years. During this period, you are not allowed to waste energy on promoting a second time?"

"If I become a wizard, I will return a promotion resource, refine medicine ten times, enchant ten times, accept five apprentices recommended by the Rich family, and agree to do one thing unconditionally?"

Orrick stared at the draft regulations with wide eyes and couldn't help but murmured.

He couldn't help but have some doubts: "Elder, is it possible that the promotion resources of our Rich family can increase the promotion rate by 20 to 30%? Why don't I know?"

Old John looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Orric understood that it was still the same as before, only 10%, and there was a certain risk.

"Then these requirements are too harsh."

Old John said matter-of-factly: "He is only a third-class talent. There are too many apprentices with this qualification. If he doesn't have some talent, do you think he is qualified to come here? There are many talented apprentices, and he even tried to compete with Richie I don’t know what the terms are at home.”

Orric also wanted to argue: "Ivan's talents are different, more -"

Old John reprimanded: "Orick, the family has its own set of rules. Don't bring people like this here again. It's a waste of time."

"You--you, you old stubborns, make me so angry."

Orric was not afraid of Old John, and pointed at him with his eyes wide open. Seeing that he was unmoved, he could only leave the living room in a hurry.

Orric scolded the family's old stubbornness over and over again in his heart. If he had known better, it would be better not to worry about it. Now neither party can gain anything.

Ivan returned to his dormitory and was about to open the door and enter the house when Orik followed him.

"I'm sorry Evan, I never knew that the family would make such harsh demands."

"I know, it has nothing to do with you, we just didn't reach an agreement, and it didn't cause any loss to me."

Ivan waved his hand. He was not angry at all, but was left speechless by the other party.

The old guy didn't lay out his own conditions, so he just made a lot of demands. This was just the result of preliminary negotiations. When asked what the Rich family could offer, he said that if he said no, there was no need to ask so many questions, his face changed faster than an opera singer.

After all this fussing and fussing, it would be better to agree to marry into Lidya's house.

Of course, he didn't plan to marry anyone.

Ivan opened the dormitory door and invited, "Come in and sit."

"No, we still have to look at the store."

Orric declined, he really didn't have the nerve to stay any longer.

On the way back, he felt that he had to do something to restore the relationship between them, otherwise he might lose this big customer with unlimited potential.

Ivan didn't know what Orik was thinking. He actually didn't have much hope in finding the Rich family, so naturally he wouldn't be too disappointed. If this road doesn't work, just take other roads and you'll always find the right one.

"Some wizards definitely have promotion resources, but I don't have the leverage to impress them."

"I heard that there are bazaars for wizards trading far away from the academy. Larger bazaars usually hold auctions on a regular basis. There are occasionally anonymous sellers in such auctions who dare to let out anything, including water burns banned by the Flash Vortex Alliance. Bubble fruit.

There must be promotion resources from other colleges. If not, let’s look for some relevant clues, such as the abandoned Jiuyuan laboratory--"

His idea is to try to find a solution around the academy. If that doesn't work, then he can apply for a long-term mission and travel to other parts of the Moon Clamp Peninsula. He will always find some resource clues about promotion.
