Wizard: I want to be a top student

The next day, Ivan learned his lesson and contacted his mentor to see if he had time. In the afternoon, he came to his mentor's three-story round tower. As soon as he knocked on the door, it opened automatically.

He came into the hall and looked at a corner inside in confusion, wondering what Randall was bending over to look for.

"Good day, mentor."

"Ivan, you are here. Are the little guys okay?" Randall reached out and fumbled for a while before standing up and turning to look at him, saying in surprise: "Looking at your mental fluctuations, you are almost a third-class apprentice."

Ivan nodded and muttered: "The little guys are all good, I am not so good."

Randall walked a few steps closer and sat on the main seat, and pushed the white striped worm he fried in front of him: "Don't worry, talk slowly."

No wonder Gina is so casual here, it turns out that the mentor himself is too casual, without the momentum of a wizard.

Ivan complained in his heart and asked, "Teacher, I heard that breaking through the third-level apprentice requires an important potion?"

Randall grabbed a handful of fried white striped worms from another large glass bottle, stuffed it into his mouth, and said while eating, "Boiling potion, this is an auxiliary potion that our academy often uses to break the mental barrier of third-level apprentices. It has been verified countless times and rarely fails."

Seeing this, Ivan had to accompany him with a handful, and the taste was unexpectedly good.

"How is it?"

"Crispy."

"I said it was delicious, but Mien actually looked disgusted." Randall looked at him with appreciation, scolded another disciple of his, and then talked about the potion: "A portion of boiling potion requires 100 credits plus 200 magic stones."

"So expensive?"

Hearing his words, Ivan suddenly felt that the snacks in his hand were not fragrant.

Randall looked helpless: "It's just so expensive. The academy stipulates that no one can change it."

"Teacher, how do I earn credits?"

"How are your rune and enchantment knowledge? I don't see you come to ask me, the teacher."

"It's not because I'm afraid of disturbing you. In fact, I have accumulated a lot of questions."

Facing Randall's accusation, Ivan smiled awkwardly. If he had known that the teacher was so easy-going, he would not have come to ask. He was not used to Toins's mode and couldn't change it for a while.

Without waiting for the teacher to say anything, he asked more than a dozen questions about runes and enchantments.

Randall answered them one by one. His profound knowledge made Ivan regret that he didn't come earlier.

Finally, Randall nodded slightly: "It's okay, but not enough. The completion of the line text needs to reach 80% to connect into a rune bundle. The rune bundle is the basic condition for making low-level magic items."

Ivan was a little ashamed. His highest completion degree is only about 63%, which is far from meeting the requirements of the rune bundle.

Randall continued, "There are two common ways for the enchantment group to obtain credits. One is to buy materials and make them into disposable runes or low-level magic items. Disposable runes will be picked and chosen by those people. This method can only obtain 50 credits per year. This is also the rule of the academy."

Fifty credits per year are obviously not enough for him.

Ivan asked hurriedly, "What about the second way?"

Randall said, "Complete the enchantment tasks of the enchantment group. The location is in the internal workshop. The raw materials are provided by the academy. The task reward is credits. The number of credits depends on the number of tasks. However, the candidates for enchantment tasks are usually third-class apprentices."

"What else?"

"Complete special tasks or make special contributions to the academy. This kind of task will be more dangerous."

After listening to the three ways to obtain credits, Ivan frowned. None of them could fully meet his requirements. When he came to his senses, he found that the instructor looked a little strange. Could there be another way?

"Instructor, please tell me what you want to say."

Randall said in a strange tone: "You are lucky. There is an opportunity right now. The workshop listed an enchantment task two days ago and designated you as a batch of new apprentices to complete it. The basic requirement is to be able to refine a one-time rune."

"This---there won't be any problems, right?"

Ivan was puzzled. There was such a strange requirement. It wouldn't be a trick.

Randall stretched out his finger and tapped it, and a gentle mental force hit his head: "What are you thinking about? How could the academy deliberately harm you, a second-class apprentice? Since the workshop's requirements are like this, you can refine a one-time rune and fully meet the requirements of the task. Just go there tomorrow."

Ivan nodded: "I understand, mentor."

Randall said: "There are three conditions for promotion to a third-class apprentice: mental power reaches 6 scales, learns two zero-level spells, and boiling potions."

"Only the boiling potion is missing."

"Do you need to buy spells? The spells I studied and obtained outside do not require your credits, and you will be charged 20 magic stones each."

"Of course I need to buy them, mentor, you are too generous."

Ivan had consulted that in addition to paying the corresponding magic stones, the academy's spell purchases also required two to three credits to be deducted, so he did not buy other spells.

Afterwards, Randall used the crystal ball to transmit five spells to him: Insect Hiding, Arrow Shooting, Traction, Shaping, and Spiritualization.

Without exception, all five spells were not orthodox elemental spells.

"Any other questions?"

"About the hunting team----"

"No wizard will bother you. As for the apprentice, you are quite capable and there is no need to be afraid of them. If there is any problem, I will personally avenge you."

"Okay."

Since the mentor said so, what else can Ivan do? This is his own business.

Before leaving, he asked a question out of curiosity: "Teacher, what were you looking for in the corner before?"

Randall said subconsciously: "A stupid bug that can only hide there."

As soon as the voice fell, two stones flew out from the corner, one stone aimed at Randall and the other aimed at Ivan. Randall dodged it lightly, and Ivan was hit on the head by the stone just as he noticed it.

This was the second time he was hit on the head today, and it hurt a little.

Ivan scratched his head and glanced at Randall, who looked a little embarrassed. It was better to leave early, and he tactfully said goodbye.

A new day.

Ivan came to the internal workshop of the enchantment group according to Randall's instructions. This is the experimental area. The enchantment workshop looks like a large storage warehouse from the outside, and there are not even a few windows.

The entrance of the workshop looks like a reception desk. He glanced at the particle light film that issued the task. Sure enough, there was an enchantment task designated for a new batch of apprentices to complete. The information listed in the task was simple and clear.

Ivan stepped forward and said, "Hello, I am a student of Randall, the enchantment group wizard. I am a new apprentice in this batch. I am here to receive the task."

After he said this, all the staff at the reception desk looked up at him with some inexplicable surprise in their eyes, as if they were looking at something rare.

Being stared at by the three apprentices inside, Ivan couldn't help but feel a little confused. Could it be that there was really something wrong with the task? But there was no reason for Randall to deceive himself, not to mention that it was clearly written on the particle light film that he just met the task requirements.
