This wizard only wants to take students.

Chapter 5: Wizard's Rules (Part )
That’s right, good, very good, extremely good, this is the expression I want!

After sensing Carly's emotions, Lucian couldn't help but smile as he turned his back to Carly.

However, in order to maintain his status, Lucian did not speak, but continued his performance.

His right hand was steady, and he poured the medicine in the test tube into the crucible that was bubbling at a nearly constant speed. Suddenly, a large number of bubbles appeared from the medicine in the crucible.

Perfect opening!
Lucian secretly gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

But the next moment, he found that the color of the mixed liquid in the crucible had suddenly changed from the original dark green to dark red.

“Oh no! The pretreatment solution has been left out for too long!” Lucian’s heart skipped a beat.

After all, he had only traveled through time not long ago. Although he inherited the memories of the original owner, it was obvious that things like experience and familiarity were not fully inherited.

Bang—the crucible made a slight explosion, and then thick black smoke rose up.

Lucian: ...

Carly carefully observed Lucian's unhappy expression and felt that her luck was really bad.

“Ahem, it’s just a small matter.” Lucian took a deep breath. He didn’t care about his potion anymore. Instead, he looked at Carly with some curiosity. Soon, his brows slightly frowned. “Are you alone?”

"There's... there's another one, and it may... may be a little slower." Carly thought of Yellen who ran away following the third-level wizard apprentice, and after hesitating for a moment, she spoke a little more tactfully.

"Is that so? Then you sit for a while and we'll have the first teaching together later. This way it will be less troublesome." Lucian thought for a moment and waved his hand lightly. Suddenly a chair flew out from the utility room at the back and landed steadily in front of Carly.

"Mentor... Mentor, do you want me to do something?" Carly seemed a little embarrassed at this time, especially when she saw Lucian slowly cleaning up the waste liquid of the physical strength potion he had just prepared. Carly couldn't sit still. After hesitating for a while, she finally plucked up the courage to speak.

Lucian looked at the girl who was clutching her clothes, thought for a moment, then looked at the mess on his desk and smiled. "Okay, you clean it up. I'll teach you how to clean the equipment used to prepare the medicine. It might be useful in the future."

"Oh, yes." Carly stood up hurriedly, then trotted to Lucian, holding her breath, as if she was afraid that her heavier breathing would disturb Lucian.

“Are you nervous?” Lucian asked casually, looking at the skinny girl who was no more than eleven or twelve years old.

"No, no!" Carly stood at attention subconsciously, pinching the hems of her skirt with her hands somewhat unnaturally.

Lucian looked at her like this and suddenly thought of the Mr. "My name is Not Nervous" before he traveled through time.

"This is actually similar to washing dishes. Of course, it requires a little skill, otherwise the equipment might be damaged." After a simple demonstration, Lucian asked Carly to start cleaning from the simplest test tube.

"Okay, I'll try..." Carly was not vague and moved very quickly.

Lucian nodded slightly and began to clean the crucible himself - there was still a lot of waste liquid left in it, which was considered a kind of "pollution" for the new blood who had not yet officially embarked on the path of a wizard, so he needed to do it himself.

"Why hasn't he come yet?" It had been a while since the cleaning was finished, but the other apprentice was still nowhere to be seen, which made Lucian frown. Although he thought he had a good temper, he still felt a little uncomfortable being stood up by a student who had not yet officially become his apprentice for nearly two hours.

After all, he was planning to quickly bind students and officially activate his system!
"Teacher..." Carly noticed Lucian's increasingly gloomy expression. She hesitated for a moment and was about to say something when a loud voice came from outside the door.

"Lucian!"

Carly closed her mouth.

Lucian frowned and waved his hand, the door of the laboratory opened. Then, he saw a third-level wizard apprentice wearing a black wizard robe striding over from the corridor outside.

"Noriaan, what's the matter?" Lucian looked at the person who came and frowned slightly.

According to the original owner's memory, this was a third-level wizard apprentice whose combat power was not inferior to that of the original owner, and he also had a formal wizard mentor as his backer. However, this Noriaan and the original owner were only acquaintances, and their relationship was average, and there were even some minor conflicts.

Carly shrank her neck. She recognized that the person coming was the third-level wizard apprentice that Yellen had just chased after, so she had roughly guessed what was going to happen.

"It's just a small thing." Noriaan smiled, "A newcomer really wanted to learn from me, but when he was choosing a mentor, he accidentally chose you."

"How about this, we follow the rules. You give me the little guy and I'll give you equivalent compensation. Well, it's just a little guy with third-class aptitude, which is not that rare. How about this... one magic stone?"

Noriaan smiled, not caring at all about Lucian and Carly beside Lucian. He even looked at Carly more and gave her a meaningful look.

Obviously, Noriaan didn't care about the seriously injured Lucian at this time. If it weren't for the academy's regulations, he probably wouldn't be willing to pay even this one magic stone.

Lucian's pupils shrank slightly.

A magic stone!
This price is the exchange threshold for formal "transactions" within the college.

In other words, if it wasn't for the formalization of the transaction, I'm afraid the other party wouldn't even be willing to pay this one magic stone!
This is the one who took advantage of my serious injury to bully others and steal my students!
Noriaan naturally noticed the change in Lucian's eyes, but he didn't care at all.

After all, Lucian in his prime was only comparable to him, and he was not afraid of offending Lucian who was seriously injured at this moment.

The wizarding world is a place where the strong prey on the weak.

Lucian was seriously injured and weakened, so when he saw an opportunity, he would naturally tear off a piece of flesh!
Otherwise, if it’s too late, not even the bones will be left.

Lucian took several deep breaths. He looked at Noriaan, who was smiling playfully, and understood that this was the cold law of the jungle, the law of the wizard.

However, he still felt somewhat unwilling in his heart.

After all, he had just paid twenty magic stones for this. This was a huge sum. You know, he now had less than twenty magic stones left!
