This wizard only wants to take students.

Chapter 3 Choice
“Lord Thoros.” Lucian bowed slightly and spoke respectfully towards a treetop nest.

"Caw, cackle, cackle..." With the sound of flapping wings and a slightly hoarse cry, a huge one-eyed crow flew out of its nest and landed on a relatively low branch. Its scarlet eye glanced at Lucian, but it uttered a hoarse and sharp human voice.

"Gah—boy, are you calling the great Lord Thoros?"

“Yes.” Lucian bowed his head respectfully and handed over a roasted salamander.

This one-eyed crow is a formal wizard's pet and, to a certain extent, represents that wizard.

"Haha - if you still want to expel the alien power in your body, the great Lord Thoros can't help you." The crow Thoros said casually as he took away the roasted salamander offered by Lucian without any hesitation.

"Lord Thoros, I would like to recruit two students from this year's new batch of students." Lucian stated his request directly with a calm expression.

"Recruiting students? Haha..." Soros seemed to find this matter very interesting. He flapped his wings and laughed.

“Lord Thoros, I want to recruit students with good qualifications, and I am willing to pay a certain amount of magic stones for this.” Lucian bowed slightly.

“Magic stone? Wait a moment.” Thoros stopped his shrill laughter, his expression slightly serious, and he landed on the branch again. His scarlet eye first looked at Lucian, then closed it.

After a moment, Thoros opened his eyes again. "Boy, the great master of Lord Thoros said that he can help you get new blood with third-class qualifications as students, but... each person costs 20 magic stones."

"Third-class qualification? Twenty magic stones?" Lucian took a deep breath. Although he knew that the cost of asking these official wizards for help was extremely high, twenty magic stones? This price was really outrageous.

You know, with this price, you can buy two knight-level slave followers at the wizard trading point. Although this kind of knight-level slave follower is slightly inferior to the second-level wizard apprentice in combat power, it is absolutely loyal and can be regarded as a very practical helper for the third-level wizard apprentice.

And using twenty magic stones to become a mentor for a third-class new blood? For most wizards, this is definitely a big loss.

After all, what belongs to a student may not necessarily belong to one's own, and investing twenty magic stones before teaching him is not a cost-effective "deal".

Moreover, third-class qualifications? Among the five qualifications of a wizard apprentice, it can only be considered as not bad, but not excellent at all.

"Quack, quack... This is the master's will, I am just conveying it." Soros flapped his wings. After thinking for a while, he said slowly, "At most... well, for the sake of my favorite roasted salamander, the great Soros is willing to give you a small 'discount'."

"A new blood with first-class qualifications is included? How about this condition? If you go to buy wizard apprentice slaves as experimental materials, the price will be much higher than mine."

Lucian was silent. He now understood that the official wizard behind Soros had most likely offered a high price because he was the buyer.

Perhaps in his opinion, he was looking for students to conduct some experiments that might expel the alien magic power in his body, or even to conduct body exchange experiments. That's why he priced it so high when he quoted the price - because he was selling it at a "friendly price" for the experimental subjects.

Although he was somewhat unwilling, he had no other choice now. After all, there was only one wizard in charge of recruiting new students this year, and it would take at least a year to recruit the next batch of new students.

“I… I’ll buy one, and I’ll add the ‘bonus’ you mentioned, Lord Soros.” After a long silence, Lucian spoke with some difficulty.

At the same time, he took out a small bag, and then took out twenty magic stones that emitted faint light from it, and handed them to Crow Thoros respectfully.

Soros grinned, his voice was hoarse, but his expression seemed to be smiling. "Equivalent exchange."

Lucian's mouth twitched.

Using a new recruit with third-class qualifications, adding the teaching qualification of a new recruit with the worst first-class qualifications, and then exchanging it for twenty precious magic stones, and then finally saying it was an equal exchange?
“A fair deal.” Despite his turbulent emotions, Lucian managed a smile.

After all, in the face of absolute strength, being willing to make an exchange is fair enough in the eyes of those official wizards.

……

"You have two choices. One is for me to randomly assign a mentor to you. This method is free. The other is for you to choose a mentor yourself. I have a brief introduction and conditions of the mentors here. You can choose one yourself. However, if you choose this method, you will need to pay an extra magic stone."

Three days later, when the airship carrying the new blood landed at the Greybone Academy, this group of new blood, who were still somewhat confused about the wizarding world, also began the most important choice in their lives.

Soon, starting with the new recruits with the best fifth-grade qualifications, these apprentices made their choices one by one.

"I choose Teacher Vivian."

"Corvette..."

"Lucy..." Soon, it was the turn of a boy who looked very smart to make a choice.

"Sir, I hope to make my own choice." After the young man Yellen respectfully handed over a magic stone, he took the booklet with information about many mentors and quickly flipped through it.

After all, he can only watch for fifteen minutes at most. If he wants to continue watching, he will need more magic stones!

[Requirement: Apprentices must cooperate in conducting experiments once a month and may not refuse for any reason! ]

"You can't refuse for any reason?" Yellen's heart sank slightly. He had heard that most of the wizards' experiments were bloody and cruel.

He quickly flipped through the pages and looked at the information of the next mentor.

Steven Luther

"Two magic stones... I only brought eight magic stones from home..." Yellen was tempted, but when he saw the hard condition of handing over two magic stones every month, he hesitated again.

[Requirement: Apprentices must cooperate in one experiment and may not refuse for any reason! Only one thing!]

"I'm afraid that after the experiment, it will be impossible to walk off the dissection table alive?" After the initial excitement, Yellen quickly skipped over this "big bomb".

Finally, he came across a special mentor message.

【Lucian Kevin】

[Paid knowledge can be provided for free, and the type can be chosen by the apprentices themselves. One-on-one guidance can be provided to apprentices anytime and anywhere! ]

"There are no hard and fast terms, and the conditions seem to be very generous!" When Yellen saw the mentor's profile, her heart began to beat fast.

"But my qualifications are third-class, and even among third-class qualifications, I am very close to the threshold of fourth-class qualifications. Among our new blood, except for those guys with fourth- and fifth-class qualifications, I am the best. Maybe if I look down, I can find a better mentor with more favorable conditions, or even a formal wizard."

Yellen wrote down the name Lucian, but quickly checked the information of his future mentor.
