Wizard: I want to be a top student

As soon as the apprentices stepped back, the soil where they were standing cracked, the trees fell, and the monster made of mud and rotten matter continued to grow and grow. In a moment, it expanded to almost the height of a two-story building, turning into a bloated mud giant.

The mud giant exuded great power.

This time, the six people undoubtedly encountered a tough guy.

"There is such a powerful elemental monster here. It must be a laboratory that leaked high-energy particles."

"Quiet, don't talk nonsense."

As soon as someone complained, Cody stopped him immediately.

As an apprentice, the affairs of wizards were never something they could question.

'Secondary Energy Fireball'

After standing firm, the third-class apprentice Haydn took the lead in launching a magic attack. A fireball with a diameter of more than one meter condensed and attacked the swamp mud monster that stopped expanding. The burning fireball hit its body.

The fireball exploded.

The flames and mud splashed everywhere, causing the apprentices to step back a few steps.

"No, the silt layer is too thick, this kind of magic can't hurt the swamp mud monster." Haydn said helplessly. The fireball just now hit the flowing silt layer, like a fist hitting a sponge.

As the silt flows, the charred marks caused by the fireball are being quickly erased by the corrosive mud monster.

The swamp mud monster was enraged by the fireball, and its facial features that had not yet fully formed made a twisted roar, spitting out mud bombs one after another, attacking Haydn's direction.

"Bang bang bang."

Haydn dodged it easily, and the mud bomb fell to the ground. There were obvious signs of corrosion where it was hit, which should contain some kind of corrosive acid.

After a round of attack, the characteristics of the swamp mud monster were exposed. The advantages were strong defense and fast recovery, and the disadvantages were clumsy movements and slow speed.

Under Cody's command, the other four stood separately, wandering around the swamp mud monster, constantly launching attack tests to further confirm the characteristics of the swamp mud monster.

The four of them launched frost and cold air attacks together. Frost appeared on the body of the swamp mud monster and spread, causing great inconvenience to its movement, but it failed to completely restrict its ability to move.

Under the effect of frost, the swamp mud monster seemed to be covered with a layer of ice armor, which made the apprentice helpless.

"This kind of monster is probably the nemesis of the Swift Wood Silkworm."

Ivan was looking for an opportunity in the back. He found that he had no means to deal with the swamp mud monster. The Swift Wood Silkworm, who had high hopes, just couldn't do anything with this kind of creature. It seemed that he had to find an opportunity to learn other spells as soon as possible.

Not far away, Mei Li also did not step forward. The only means she could use to attack the mud monster was a strong bow. In this case, arrows were unlikely to be useful.

The ice armor dissipated, and the swamp mud monster was provoked by the apprentice~ It was even more furious. Two huge palms appeared in the flowing mud, and the palms reached into the air one after another, slapping the apprentices around.

Cody and the other four had already dodged it.

The giant palm fell to the ground, corroding the ground into two irregular palm prints, and the nearby mud splashed.

‘Secondary Tornado’

When the swamp mud monster attacked the most fiercely, Cody saw the opportunity to attack and decisively used his favorite spell.

A wind tornado took the opportunity to fall on the swamp mud monster, which was leaning forward slightly, in the middle of its body. The wind rolled up the mud and fallen leaves, and formed a different tornado in an instant, continuously pulling the mud on the mud monster.

Seeing this, the other three apprentices took action one after another, and various spells bombarded various parts of the mud monster's body.

Ivan and Meili, who were on the periphery, could not help but take a few steps forward.

In just three or four seconds, the swamp mud monster's body was half thin and was still decaying.

At this time, a strong flow was generated inside the swamp mud monster's body, and a group of high-energy things rushed from the upper part of the body to the lower part.

It was the core of the swamp mud monster's body!

The six people present realized one thing, this was a great opportunity.

Cody, who was maintaining the tornado, couldn't pull his hand away, and the other three had just finished casting spells, which needed two or three seconds.

Meili pulled the strong bow and shot an arrow.

Ivan was not vague either. He casually took out three disposable runes, one "sharp rune" was slapped on the tip of the sword, and two "ice runes" were slapped on the middle and back of the sword respectively. The long sword was immediately enchanted with three runes.

He threw the long sword out.

The long sword with a different sharpness and freezing air pierced into the body of the swamp mud monster, penetrated directly into the interior, and attacked the high-energy core that rushed down. In the blink of an eye, the long sword sank into the mud.

The next second, the swamp mud monster roared in fear, and the ice froze the circle of mud into blocks from the inside to the outside, and broke into ice chips.

The huge body of the swamp mud monster began to collapse rapidly.

"Disperse."

Seeing this situation, the apprentices quickly moved away to avoid being affected by the falling mud.

The swamp mud monster was dead, and the nearby area was in a mess.

"According to the growth rate of vegetation here, it will return to its original state in less than two months." Cody waved his hand towards the place where the swamp mud monster fell, and the wind blew a ball of things to the front of everyone.

A thin layer of ice wrapped a sticky frozen liquid, on which was stuck a half-broken sword with cracks.

The broken sword was the long sword that Ivan had just thrown out.

"This is the core of the swamp mud monster. It should be exchanged for 20 to 30 magic stones when handed over to the academy's acquisition department. Ivan, you seem to have used three disposable runes just now, which are worth about 20 magic stones. Otherwise--"

Cody said and glanced at the others. He estimated that Ivan was a new apprentice and must be lacking in magic stones. He couldn't let him spend so much money.

Before anyone else could speak, Ivan rejected his good intention: "It's okay. I'm an enchanter. I just want to test the runes I made. It's a win-win situation."

"Is that the first time you made a rune yourself?"

"Yes, it was made not long ago."

Cody knew his situation very well. He looked at him differently when he heard this.

Cody joked: "It seems that I can ask you for help in making magic items in the future."

Ivan didn't dare to answer: "Not even close. Now I can't make anything except one-time runes."

Cody pretended not to hear this. How long have you been in the academy? If you can make magic items now, then we have been in the academy for so long in vain.

The other three didn't know Ivan and didn't have any feelings. Unlike Mei Li who entered the school, when she was the senior sister of Kasha Sword Art Hall, Ivan was just a student who was not even a first-class knight attendant.

I never thought that in less than a year, the other party would surpass me by a large margin, which made Mei Li hold the broadsword tighter.

The appearance of the swamp mud monster was just an episode on the patrol, and the patrol mission still needed to continue.

On the fourth night of the patrol, Ivan had returned to the dormitory for three hours.

Under the firelight, he was immersed in the refining of the potion. The potion in the glass dish had reached a critical moment, and the tumbling potion soon became crystal clear.

"It's done."

He stared at the glass dish in front of him, and saw a beam of ink-like potion condensed and slowly rotating in the pure water, which seemed so comfortable and smooth. This is the magic crystal water.

Compared with the magic stone water, the magic crystal water is darker in ink, and the surface of the ink-colored strips is smoother and more vivid, like a circling black loach.

This is the fifth refining. Yesterday, another level 2 wisdom light was consumed, and today it was successfully refined. The difficulty is the highest among all the potions he has ever refined.

After the potion cooled, Ivan introduced the magic crystal water into the small glass bottle, and a magic crystal water was completed.

He observed carefully for a while, and only after checking that everything was correct did he start to meditate to restore his mental strength. Once his mental strength was restored, he planned to directly take the magic crystal water to improve his strength.
