The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Matthews's expectations were very accurate. With his abundant mental strength, his success rate in preparing the potion reached an astonishing 70%, which was far beyond the 60% target required by the mission.

The result was that not only did their group successfully complete the task, but the quantity of various types of medicines unexpectedly exceeded expectations.

Matthews did not enjoy these extra benefits alone, but generously shared a portion of them with his four assistant apprentices as a way to repay them for their hard work in helping him handle the contraband.

The four apprentices were ecstatic about this unexpected reward. They were originally worried about whether they could complete the task on time and how to deal with possible penalties or extra burdens. However, the final result was that they exceeded the task and were able to share the extra results.

They were deeply impressed by Matthews and praised him as a generous "senior". Fortunately, they did not know the exact amount of the potion they had obtained or Matthews' shameless act of smuggling the potion, otherwise it would inevitably cause some unnecessary jealousy and dissatisfaction.

Although the Connaught wizard also completed the task without any suspense, his speed was not much faster than Matthews. This was mainly due to the efficiency of Matthews' group in processing medicinal materials. It was because of his special distribution method that the speed and quality of medicinal material processing were greatly improved.

When Connaught learned that Matthews had completed the task as scheduled, a mixture of surprise and jealousy appeared on his face. Matthews's basic pharmacy attainments had undoubtedly reached the level of a formal pharmacist, and his talent in pharmacy was self-evident. No wonder Master Fernando accepted him as his inheritance disciple!

After carefully checking that Matthews' potion was correct, the Connaught wizard did not say much. He simply distributed the task reward and left in a hurry.

Matthews looked at the Connaught wizard's back as he left, and a deep feeling welled up in his heart. He understood that in this wizarding world where strength is respected, only by constantly improving his own strength can he win more respect and opportunities.

The apprentices in the same group as Matthews were eager to establish a closer relationship with him and expressed their heartfelt gratitude to him: "Thank you, Senior Matthews. With your help, we were able to complete the task successfully. Not only did we get paid, but we also received the extra reward you generously gave us."

Matthews did not reject the apprentices' approach, as he knew that it was their tacit cooperation that made the task so successfully completed. He encouraged them by saying, "Your performance is excellent, and we will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future."

The four apprentices were very excited to hear Matthews' affirmation. This experience made them deeply realize the importance of teamwork and expressed their sincere respect for Matthews' leadership and generosity.

In contrast, the Connaught wizard's apprentices seemed a little disappointed and envious. They originally thought that following the formal wizard to make potions would be a valuable learning opportunity, but now it seems that the apprentices on the other side seem to have gained more substantial benefits.

The Connaught wizard did not share any spoils with the apprentices, but the apprentices had no complaints about this and instead thought it was their right.

Matthews held the meditation aid potion tightly in his hand, his heart filled with joy. Although this mission took him several days, he felt that the reward was totally worth it.

Not only did he receive the same mission rewards as a formal wizard, but he also significantly improved his potion-making skills through a large amount of practice in making the same kind of potions.

At this moment, Matthews truly understood the teacher's intention and made up his mind that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would take on more similar potion-making tasks and constantly improve his potion-making skills.

When Matthews arrived at the pharmacy laboratory, he found that the teacher was concentrating on preparing the potion. Matthews approached quietly, following the teacher's every move, observing and learning in depth. At this time, Master Fernando was making the meditation aid potion that Matthews desired.

Although Matthews had watched the production process of this potion many times, he knew that just watching was not enough. There were many subtleties in potion making that he needed to master through constant practice and understanding. In particular, the fine control of mental power had a crucial impact on the quality of the potion.

Master Fernando's technique was smooth and skillful, as he evenly divided the carefully prepared potion in the magic crucible into ten test tubes. His every move seemed relaxed and natural, as if every step was precisely calculated and controlled.

"Matthews, you've come at the right time." Master Fernando raised his head and saw Matthews, with a smile on his face. "This is your meditation aid potion. Two sets of herbs give you ten in total."

Matthews quickly stepped forward to take the test tube and respectfully thanked the teacher: "Thank you, teacher!"

Fernando nodded with satisfaction: "Is your potion-making task going well?" Although he was full of confidence in his disciples, he was still concerned about the success rate of their potion-making.

Matthew answered frankly: "It's going very smoothly. The success rate of the potion has reached 70%."

Fernando's eyes flashed with relief and joy: "Very good, for basic potions, this success rate is already very good. Ordinary formal pharmacists can only reach this level."

Matthews responded modestly: "Thank you for your compliment, but I know I still have a lot of shortcomings and I still have a long way to go before I can become a real pharmacist."

Fernando nodded approvingly, admiring Matthews' modesty and self-awareness. He knew that only by maintaining such an attitude could Matthews continue to make progress in potion making and eventually become a true potion master.

After a moment of hesitation, Matthews finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Teacher, you should know that the academy has decided to hold the third-level apprentice points competition in advance, right?"

Fernando looked at him with a hint of surprise. "You are well-informed. Yes, due to some special reasons, the points race has to be moved forward."

Matthews immediately showed great interest, and he was eager to know more details: "Teacher, what exactly caused the points battle to be advanced?"

After thinking for a moment, Fernando decided to reveal some information to Matthews: "The purpose of this points competition is to select disciples with different strengths, and then they will be assigned important tasks. The specific content of the task is not convenient to tell you at the moment. But what I can tell you is that compared with the points battle, it is a truly cruel test."

Matthews hesitated for a moment in front of Fernando, but finally decided to confess his intention: "Teacher, the reason why I urgently need this batch of meditation-aiding potions is because I hope to be promoted to a third-class apprentice as soon as possible and be eligible to participate in this early points battle."

Master Fernando frowned slightly, but still nodded, indicating that he understood Matthews' determination: "Since you want to participate so much, then go ahead. Participating in such a battle is also a kind of experience for you. For pharmacists, in addition to being proficient in potion knowledge, the use of witchcraft is equally important. This is one of the reasons why I did not stop you from studying death witchcraft."

Master Fernando knew that whether it was a pharmacist or an alchemist, their skills were essentially to serve a higher level of witchcraft. Therefore, their ultimate goal must be to return to witchcraft. The exquisite skills of pharmacy and alchemy would become the solid foundation for their journey to becoming stronger.

Therefore, Master Fernando encouraged Matthews' decision and gave him a special gift - a robe.

He told Matthews that this robe was specially prepared for him and could resist any witchcraft attack below the level of a formal wizard, but he needed to be especially careful against physical attacks.

Matthews deeply values ​​the care and support of his teachers…
