Wizard: Max level talent, starting from zero-ring trick.

Chapter 24 Wind Blade Technique, 4th Monthly Assessment, Crisis

[Skill: Wind Blade Technique (Beginner 1/100)]

"The name does fit the description of a skill that a bird-like magical beast could use!"

Ian looked at the panel and his eyes lit up.

"Hecamoise!"

As the incantation was uttered, a wind blade slowly condensed before them and flew forward with a whoosh.

boom!

A noticeable mark appeared on the stone wall.

"That powerful?"

Ian was also taken aback.

Whether it was mental power impact or other witchcraft he was learning, none of them were as effective as this witchcraft when he first started learning it.

It might even have only half the power.

"Excellent-level wizards can almost completely overwhelm ordinary-level wizardry; no wonder the academy restricts their purchases."

Ian pursed his lips.

Or this may be the main way the academy recruits wizards.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Ian was very satisfied.

Lord Mickey is quite reliable; he did indeed provide a decent spell.

.......

Time passed little by little.

With the significant changes to the curriculum, the most dramatic changes are undoubtedly in the combat courses and the basic pharmacology courses.

The former apprentices with combat abilities gradually caught up, especially the second-class apprentice Li Wei, who was practically a monster.

His strong physique rivals that of a peak knight, and the abundance of magic makes his sorcery incredibly powerful.

The other two second-class individuals were also exceptionally strong in terms of mental power.

The fact that they had all learned advanced levels of witchcraft put Ian under immense pressure.

Ian could sense that even if he got first place this month, things might not be so easy next month.

The potions course is another example.

While he certainly improved his proficiency through practice, some people are really throwing money at it, and their progress is astonishing.

In particular, the second generation of wizards and family wizards fully demonstrated their advantages at this time.

In the blink of an eye.

Half a month has passed.

The situation in the academy is becoming increasingly tense, and almost every day wizards can be seen hurrying away from the academy.

Clearly, both Horton Wizarding Academy and Blackrock Academy are ready to truly begin the war.

At this time, the college announced another bombshell news.

That is, to increase the number of personnel in the combat department and reduce the number of personnel in the other two departments.

Potions Department.

The number of students recruited that year also decreased from five to three.

"There are three of us now!"

Ian listened to the news, which was enough to make him feel dizzy, and felt somewhat dazed.

This was undoubtedly a huge piece of bad news for him.

Not to mention, if both Levi and Beck really intend to go to the Potions Department, then there will only be one spot left for him.

"Therefore, we must secure the position of Victor's assistant."

Ian's gaze was resolute.

So they called for a few members of the mutual aid society.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Ian frankly told the group about his situation, and then said, "So I hope to borrow some magic stones from you all. I will repay you double in the future."

He knew it would be difficult.

To his surprise, everyone generously donated.

"This is the only one I have left. I bought a bottle of potion yesterday," Logan said somewhat embarrassedly.

"I only have one," Coro said.

"Two of them? I didn't spend a single penny, I gave them all to you." Emily winked playfully.

Alfie was one of them, but William had nothing because he had just been to the market the day before.

Thank you everyone!

Ian was deeply moved, as almost everyone had given him all their magic stones.

"Boss Ian, we know that's probably all we'll ever be, but you're different. If you really get into the Potions Department, you'll have to give us a hand."

Logan said with a smile.

"I want discounted potions," Emily said with a grin.

"must."

Ian nodded; this was his promise.

Although there are only five magic stones, they are of great significance to Ian.

Every practice session brought progress, and Ian spent almost all of his magic stones on concocting potions.

But I only practiced it four or five more times.

Perhaps because I'm just starting out, each practice session can improve my proficiency by about five to six points.

Finally, before the assessment, including the previous expenses, it took nearly thirty magic stones to barely reach the proficiency level.

"That should be enough, right?"

Ian breathed a sigh of relief.

With that level of proficiency, it's impossible for the results to be bad.

.......

Assessment.

Meditation course.

Lucy is still in first place, having gathered a total of eight runes.

Ian is eighth, having condensed five runes.

Harman is ninth, still in fourth place.

This left Harman both angry and helpless.

Combat Course.

It involves drawing ten circles, representing the first to tenth place, and then having them stand on the platform.

Watching Li Wei easily defeat several apprentices in the top circle, Ian pursed his lips and went inside.

"You are no match for me!"

Li Wei remained calm, looking down on Ian.

He may not be as good as Ian in terms of understanding magic, but magic power is the key in battle.

Ian just smiled.

next moment.

After a month of mastering lightness techniques, Ian suddenly activated his speed, causing his speed to increase dramatically.

Being a knight himself, his speed at this moment was like a white line.

"this?"

Li Wei's eyes widened.

Before I could react, a fist appeared right in front of me.

Do not!

Li Wei's vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground in despair.

The crowd on the sidelines watched this scene with twitching lips, and all turned their attention to the others.

It's best not to challenge him until you can catch up with Ian.

The main problem was that he looked really pathetic after failing.

Harman, watching this familiar scene from the sidelines, didn't feel so bad.

The nickname "One-Punch Harman" has made him a frequent target of ridicule lately.

However, even talents like Li Wei and others have failed.

He is too.

Does this mean he is equal to Livy?

He should be out of the public eye soon.

"Let's take a look at the Potions course."

Harman's gaze remained calm.

He didn't understand how his brother could be so rich, but he had practiced at least a dozen times every day this month.

This time, he will make a name for himself.

Test for the course "Fundamentals of Pharmaceutics".

The competition naturally focused on the preparation of potions, with Victor serving as the scorer.

Ian's setup was standard and executed smoothly, which is the result of practice.

"First place, Ian."

"Second place, Roger."

"Third place, Baker."

Fourth place, Harman.

"First?"

Ian was also somewhat surprised at this point.

This was the first time he had ever gotten first place with such a low skill level.

This suggests that the preparation of this medicine is indeed very difficult.

"Not bad, not bad."

Beside him, Victor was extremely satisfied.

Even he hadn't expected Ian to reach this level, which fully demonstrated Ian's talent.

That's enough to be his assistant.

"This must be fake."

Harman stared wide-eyed.

He practiced at least a dozen times a day for the past month, and yet he still lost to Ian?

"Wait, there are only three spots left. I hope I won't really not get in."

Harman suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He is not a fool.

His brother must have had a purpose in providing him with resources to get into the potions department.

If all those resources are wasted and there's no result, what will be the price to pay for welcoming him?

He was able to kill so many apprentices.

Will he be killed as well?

Glug!

In that instant, he suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

.......

night.

Harman saw his brother again.

"How come you're only fourth?"

Ross frowned and questioned him.

According to his estimate, with that kind of intensity, it should at least rank in the top three.

"Brother, the top three are either second-class talents or from the Giant Deer family, who already have a lineage in potion-making."

"And what about the last one?" Ross asked, frowning.

"Brother, it's Ian," Harman said cautiously.

"Ian?"

Ross racked his brains for a long time before finally remembering this person.

"Isn't he just a commoner wizard? How could his talent be similar to yours?" Ross asked, even more puzzled.

"Brother, Wizard Victor thinks highly of him."

"Victor?"

Ross frowned, sensing that this was a very troublesome situation.

"Brother, why don't we just kill him?"

Harman, thinking of his brother's ruthlessness and the potential consequences for himself, couldn't help but make the suggestion.

Ross fell silent.

A few seconds later, he slowly spoke:

"Wait a month. I'm on assignment abroad this month. I'll be back next month."

"We'll find a chance to kill him then."
