This wizard only wants to take students.

Chapter 2 Enrollment Planning
“In the wizarding world, strength is respected and knowledge is paramount.” In the library of Greybone Academy, Lucian closed the book in his hand and sighed silently in his heart.

This was the third day since he traveled to the wizarding world. Combining the memories of the original owner and some information he had found in the library in the past few days, he had a general understanding of the wizarding world and the wizarding organization he was in.

To put it simply, wizards are a group of scholars who use knowledge as a crowbar to pry the rules to gain power.

Rational and cold-blooded, wise but crazy.

The relationship between wizards is more distant and cruel than the world before Lucian traveled through. It is almost a perfect interpretation of the jungle law of the survival of the fittest.

If you want to protect yourself, you have to become stronger!

"From a certain perspective, my system is actually quite suitable for the wizarding world. After all, using the knowledge you already have to 'exchange' for more advanced knowledge is a very cost-effective deal for wizards."

"For wizards, knowledge is power. It is the lever to change the rules and the core competitiveness among wizards."

There was a gleam of light in Lucian's eyes, but it quickly dimmed.

"Unfortunately, before I bind a student, the system's help to me is negligible. And in order to bind a student, the student must be willing from the bottom of his heart."

Lucian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

These days he had thought about finding a "backdoor" in the system and a way to circumvent the rigid condition of binding students, but all his attempts ended in failure.

Sad.

Lucian took a deep breath and let it out gently.

Under normal circumstances, Lucian's desire to improve his strength would not be particularly strong. After all, as long as he could survive the most difficult period at hand, it would be relatively easy to find a student in the future when his strength recovered.

But the current situation is indeed somewhat special.

His mentor, the official wizard Pinol, died, which also meant that his biggest backer in the academy was gone.

According to the rules, a third-level wizard apprentice would be assigned a mandatory mission every three years, and Lucian's next mandatory mission was less than a year away.

At that time, without the protection of his background, Lucian would easily be sent by official wizards who were assigned mandatory tasks to carry out the most dangerous tasks.

According to the original owner's memory, for a mandatory mission of that level, the mortality rate of a third-level wizard apprentice is generally over 50%.

Lucian? It's even worse.

You should know that in order to suppress his injuries, the original owner had basically sold off the magic tools he used in battle and some temporarily unused resources early on, and exchanged them for potions and magic stones.

Although his injuries were suppressed, his potions and magic stones had been almost used up, and he had almost no other magic tools for battle except for his wizard robe. His combat strength was only one tenth of what it was in his heyday.

If one's combat power cannot be improved before that, and then encounters a mandatory mission, then one can basically just hope that there will be another time travel.

Therefore, he must recover his strength as much as possible before the mandatory task is assigned to him.

But with magic stones scarce and their accumulated resources exhausted, the only key to breaking the deadlock Lucian could think of was his own system.

Only if the system can provide him with knowledge or other help in a short period of time, can his strength be improved step by step in a short period of time. Therefore, Lucian is in urgent need of a student!
Of course, Lucian also considered himself a good mentor, and a high-quality mentor that was hard to find even with a lantern in the wizarding world.

After all, in the wizarding world, there is no so-called master-disciple relationship. The relationship between mentors and students is more of a mutual benefit.

In most cases, the tutor acts as an exploiter, using limited knowledge and protection to squeeze profits from students.

Even some evil-minded mentors will take advantage of contract loopholes or information gaps to lead students astray through misleading, partial hiding, suggestion and other means, making them become the mentors' experimental subjects without knowing it.

But Lucian is different. When he teaches students, he really teaches for the sake of teaching them. He is absolutely serious, responsible, patient and careful.

But without students, everything is in vain.

What's more, the apprentices in Lucian's Greybone Academy have all experienced the cruelty of the wizarding world to some extent. Even if Lucian told them that he was much better than other mentors, they probably wouldn't believe it. They might even conclude that Lucian had some ulterior motive.

It is unlikely that they would sincerely want to become disciples, and thus they would not meet the most basic requirements of the system, so it would be useless to accept them as disciples.

“So, if I want to get students, there are actually only three ways for me.” Lucian raised his head slightly and looked at the somewhat gloomy night sky outside the window.

First, I will select an ordinary person without wizard talent to make the transition. Although they do not have the possibility of becoming wizards, it should be no problem for them to learn the most basic knowledge, which can help me make the transition through the most difficult period.

However, this method will definitely waste a bound student's quota, and may even... cause the system to be unusable in the future.

Lucian frowned slightly. This plan was the easiest one he could think of so far, but it had huge disadvantages. It was no exaggeration to say that it was killing the goose that laid the eggs.

The second is to buy slaves at the wizard apprentice level! Those slaves whose souls have been implanted with slavery runes can be said to be absolutely loyal from the soul, so becoming a disciple is definitely not a problem.

However, the disadvantage is that it is expensive! A weakest first-level wizard apprentice slave requires thirty magic stones... All my assets now are only worth a hundred magic stones. It is too much of a burden to buy a wizard apprentice-level slave with thirty magic stones.

Lucian was somewhat dissatisfied with the second plan. After all, the qualifications of those enslaved apprentices were mostly not very good, and the wizards who bought them were mostly doing so in order to get a precious experimental subject who was absolutely obedient and submissive.

Buying slaves for teaching? This is really too outrageous. Moreover, Lucian didn't have many magic stones left.

The last resort is to target the new blood of the wizards.

New blood, a blank sheet of paper is easier to draw on, and easier to fool... No, it's easier to guide and teach.

What's even more coincidental is that the airship that the academy used to recruit new blood this year is already on its way back home, if nothing unexpected happens.

In a week at most, they will arrive at the Graybone Academy, and either become a great wizard in the future, or become part of the natural cycle of the Graybone Forest.

The only problem was how he could recruit a student, a good student, from among the new blood.

To be fair, at this stage, his competitiveness is definitely not as good as other third-level wizard apprentices, let alone competing with formal wizards. If he allowed those new bloods to choose freely, he might not be able to accept a student.

However, since conventional means did not work or were too uncompetitive, Lucian naturally came up with some other ideas.
