The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Afterwards, Fafit introduced the characteristics and potential advantages of the Death Side and the Plant Side to the two in detail, helping them make an informed choice based on their interests and goals.

In the Cave of Eternal Night, although it is part of the Northern Wizarding Union, it is famous for dark witchcraft, especially its profound attainments in shadow-side and death-side witchcraft.

Plant magic is generally considered to be lacking in attack power, so relatively few apprentices choose to learn this type of magic. Death magic, on the other hand, is abstract, difficult, profound, and involves cruel and bloody content, so there are not many apprentices willing to learn it, and even fewer apprentices who can truly master it.

In contrast, alchemy and potion are popular in the wizarding world for their practicality and commercial value. Alchemy can transform ordinary substances into magical items, while potion is dedicated to the development of a wide range of magical potions.

Wizards who achieve outstanding achievements in these two fields, whether they are master alchemists or potion masters, usually accumulate huge wealth and enjoy high social status.

Matthews and Charles face a difficult choice as they can only choose between the Plant Department and the Death Side. They must consider their interests, future career paths, and personal talents to make the decision that is best for them.

Although plant witchcraft may not be as powerful as other witchcrafts in terms of attack power, it has unique advantages in treatment and assistance, and is very suitable for apprentices who are not good at combat or prefer supporting roles.

On the other hand, although death-side sorcery is extremely challenging to learn and relatively risky, once successfully mastered, it will enable one to possess extremely powerful and unique powers.

Charles chose the Plant Department after careful consideration. This decision was based on his assessment of his own combat potential after watching the battle between Matthews and Benjamin. He felt that he might be more suitable for healing and auxiliary witchcraft, and hoped to make achievements in this regard.

Matthews chose the side of death because he was eager to break through the limits and pursue greater power. He was not satisfied with being just a healer or a helper, but was determined to master the mysteries of life and death and become a true powerful wizard who could influence and even determine the direction of life.

Under the careful guidance of senior Favite, Matthews and Charles successfully chose mentors that suited them.

Matthews gravitated toward the relaxed teaching style of mentor Somlia Frenza, hoping to be free to explore and develop his own magical potential under his guidance.

Charles is attracted by a charming witch described by Fapt, and he looks forward to learning witchcraft under her guidance.

Not only did Favite show them where their mentor's laboratory was, he also reminded them that in order to leave a good first impression on their mentor and make full use of their precious study time, they needed to visit their mentor early the next morning.

After bidding farewell to Favite, the two, under the guidance of senior sister Leah, received the necessary items as newcomers: including apprentice gray robes representing their identities, magic pocket watches used for timekeeping and assisting magical practice, and five precious magic stones.

In addition, they were given a student handbook that detailed the academy's rules and regulations, as well as a simple topographical map of the cave.

Leah patiently explained to them how to use the magic pocket watch and seriously emphasized the importance of abiding by the school regulations. She warned the two that any violation of the regulations would be severely punished by the school.

Finally, under Leah's careful guidance, Matthews and Charles selected their own residences in the apprentice housing allocation department. They also learned how to use the identity plate to easily open the stone door of the residence.

Next, they had to face the challenge of being a newbie independently - finding their own apprentice residence. In the intricate passages of the cave, they carried their heavy luggage and groped their way forward according to Senior Sister Leah's final instructions.

Even though they had the map in their hands, the dense forks and similar scenes still made them feel confused. They had to ask other apprentices they met again and again, and after countless confirmations and corrections, they finally found their home.

Matthews touched the stone door with his identity badge, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing his future temporary home. Although the room was small, it was very neatly decorated. A simple wooden bed, a sturdy stone table and a few wooden stools made up his living space.

However, Matthews soon noticed that the room lacked necessary daily necessities, such as warm bedding. He understood that he had to quickly adapt and learn to take care of himself in this new environment. He was determined to replenish the necessary daily necessities as soon as possible to make this simple space more warm and comfortable.

**********

Matthews woke up in the quiet of the early morning. Seeing that it was still early on his pocket watch, he decided to use this time to familiarize himself with the contents of the student manual.

Every rule in the manual seemed particularly important, especially the part about the promotion system: if a trainee could not be promoted to a third-class wizard apprentice within two years, he would be assigned to perform compulsory tasks.

This regulation made Matthews feel that the burden on his shoulders was even heavier. He knew that he had to adapt to life here as quickly as possible and start learning witchcraft quickly.

After reading the manual, Matthews immediately took action and headed to his mentor's laboratory. Following the guidance of senior student Faffit, he easily found the laboratory of mentor Somlia.

In front of the door, he did not rush in to disturb his mentor's experiment or thoughts, but chose to sit on the stone bench next to him and wait for the right time. He knew that it was very important to leave a good first impression on his mentor.
