The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Chief Tarim, who had been waiting in the tribe for a long time, never waited for Colin and others. If he had not received Colin's message later, he would have thought that something had happened.

Colin and his three companions, who were eager to return home, did not visit Tarim's tribe. They just left a message and returned to the surface.

As for Billy, he returned to Barna long before Colin and others went to Montreux, and Baron Lesta did not mention his reward to him.

Colin and his companions returned to Griman College to complete the task of purchasing radium ore. After selling the spoils of war, the boar tusks and the extra radium ore, they began their intensive studies again.

In order to speed up the pace of improving their strength, Colin and Helen began to use their merit points and wizard coins regardless of the cost, purchasing a large number of spell courses and some attribute potions.

At the same time, since Colin also worked part-time as a mid-level knight squire, he also made a half-body armor at the blacksmith shop outside the city to further increase his own defense.

Although they had no shortage of merit points, Colin and the others did not take large amounts of drugs due to drug resistance.

After taking two bottles of intermediate mental power potions and two bottles of intermediate strength potions (newly purchased after returning to Griman Island), Colin also stopped taking the medicine.

After taking the medicine, Colin's strength improved slightly. After detailed testing on Earth, new data on Colin's body came out.

Colin, male, 22 years old, strength 16.4, agility 15.3, constitution 13.7, mental strength 10, lucky? .

……

Three years passed by in a flash.

A week ago, Colin finally caught the last train and luckily broke through to the advanced wizard apprentice.

The latest data after the breakthrough is as follows: Colin, male, 25 years old, strength 16.5, agility 15.4, physique 14, mental strength 12, lucky? .

In terms of spells, I learned new earth-based advanced defensive spells: Stoneskin, Earth Wall, and Slow, and also learned a new attack spell: Flame Blade.

Colin's strength has improved significantly, and he has gained more confidence in the competition in half a month.

Helen's luck was not as good as Colin's. Her mental strength was only 11.8, which did not meet the minimum requirement for advancement to a senior wizard apprentice.

However, Helen also learned new spells, including the group attack spell Frost Nova, and the strongest single-target ice attack spell below the first-level wizard, Freeze Ray, and her strength also improved qualitatively.

Nora's mental power also reached the critical point of 8 points, but she did not break through to the intermediate wizard apprentice. Because she did not participate in the college competition and had to take care of the store business, she did not work as hard as Colin and Helen. She just learned one more Thousand Leaves attack spell.

Finally, let’s talk about Rose. She finally got started and became a low-level wizard apprentice. She mastered her first offensive spell, soul piercing, which is a spell that directly acts on the mind.

Meanwhile, Richard, Lilibet and their companions, who had been waiting for Colin and Helen to return from their studies, made a special trip to Grimaldi Island to visit them, accompanied by Alex and Gandalf.

When Helen saw her parents, she burst into tears at her residence outside the college. After accompanying her parents around for a few days, she had to continue her intensive studies.

Before leaving, Richard and his party left 2000 wizard coins for Colin and once again reminded him to treat Helen well, or to be careful.

During this time, Colin and his companions also went on one or two missions with Connie and her siblings, Marcus, Banta and others, and witnessed their newly learned spells in actual combat.

After making friends with Tarim, Darabon and Beta Bloodhoof in the underground world, Colin discovered the great demand for food in the underground world. He transported a large amount of food to the underground world for trading, and in exchange for a considerable amount of wizard coins. For the first time, Colin and Helen's assets reached 1 wizard coins.

This amount of wizard coins makes him one of the wealthy few among the senior wizard apprentices.

Colin's friends aren't standing still, either.

Marcus also broke through to the level of a senior wizard apprentice, but he majored in earth-related defense and auxiliary spells. His attack power did not increase much, but his defense was indeed very strong. He was in charge of defense in several missions and felt more like a turtle shell.

Banta doesn't look like a wizard apprentice at all. He looks more like a knight than Colin before. The spells he learned are skills to enhance his own strength, speed and weapon attack power. He feels like a real melee wizard.

Conrad did not advance to the advanced wizard apprentice, but broke through to the advanced knight squire. It felt like he might have some breathing method passed down from his family. However, he also faced the problem of choosing a path. Before level one, it wasn't a big problem for a wizard to work part-time as a knight, but after level one, there would definitely be an impact, but he hadn't figured it out yet.

Connie's breakthrough was faster than Colin's. She reached the advanced wizard apprentice level half a month earlier than Colin, and she also worked part-time as an intermediate ranger, majoring in wind magic. When Colin first met her, she was just an apprentice magician. She made rapid progress, especially in terms of attack and speed, and was ahead of Colin and others.

Colin has an urgent need to improve his strength. Only by standing at the highest point can he further understand the world. Only after understanding the truth of the world can he perhaps find the way home.

The new skills have been mastered very well, and their combination and application are also at ease. The four-dimensional attributes of the body cannot be greatly improved in the short term, but mental strength is indeed the foundation of the wizard profession.

Although the official competition will begin soon, Colin, who does not want to relax for a moment, is making his final effort.

In the last few days before the competition, I had been wanting to buy advanced mental power potion, but it was said that this was only in the hands of official wizards and could not be bought on the market.

Colin shamelessly tried to ask his mentor Lina. Lina still had some impression of her student, but considering that she was going to participate in the competition soon, even if her mental strength was improved a little, it would not be of much use, so she did not agree to Colin's request.

Colin had no choice but to give up, but he still bought several bottles of potions to replenish his mana and physical strength in the short term in order to prepare for the next competition.

As Colin and the others were looking forward to it, Griman College finally announced the latest competition rules. The competition will be conducted at three levels: advanced, intermediate, and elementary.

Only the top three at the intermediate and elementary levels will be selected and given corresponding rewards by the academy, and they will not participate in competitions outside the academy.

For the higher levels, the top eight will be decided. The top five will be considered official members of the academy, led by official wizards, and will compete with high-level wizard apprentices from other forces on the continent. Six to eight will be considered substitutes.

……

The much anticipated college competition has begun!
