Chapter 318 Enjoyment
"Leo, there's a task for you to do next," Stoffen said, pointing to Frandi beside him. "Frandi wants to be my student. He's a promising talent. However, I hope to view his talent more objectively."
"Therefore, I gave him a task: to gain your approval. You can test him as you please, and if you approve of him as my student, then I will accept him as my student."
Leo was surprised, but said calmly, "Yes, Instructor Stoffen, I will choose a test that can better prove his talent."
"Leo, you've just arrived, go and rest for a bit. I've already prepared a room for you. We can talk about other things tomorrow."
"Yes, Master Stoffen."
The second floor of the white tower on Expedition Island.
Leo went into his room.
Then, Leo saw a falcon resting in his room.
As Leo entered the room, the falcon's wings flapped, and Stoffen's voice echoed in Leo's mind.
"Leo, please sit down."
Leo sat down casually and said, "Professor Stoffen, is there anything else you need?"
"Just to explain your mission this time."
"You did a good job killing Philia this time."
Stoffen's voice continued: "You not only killed Philia, but you also successfully shifted the blame to the wandering wizards. That's quite good."
Leo said, "It was just a coincidence that I stumbled upon the research of the wandering wizards."
"Then, there's the matter of Frandi. Frandi is also a student that Augusta arranged for him. I can't refuse, so your task this time is to prevent him from becoming my student while also giving Augusta a satisfactory answer."
"Get rid of him as soon as possible without Augusta noticing."
A glint of light flashed in Leo's eyes. He said, "Professor Stoffen, if the only outcome is preventing Frandi from becoming your student, rather than expelling him, would you be able to accept that?"
"As long as he can't become my student, there's no need to specifically drive him away."
Leo said, "Well, I do have an idea."
Stoffen didn't ask Leo what his plan was. He said, "I won't ask about your plan in detail. Remember, all I want is for the outcome to be as I expect."
Stoffen's daily research consumed almost all of his time.
If Frandi hadn't been sent by Augusta, Stoffen wouldn't have bothered with him at all and would have rejected him outright from the start.
From the very beginning, Stoffen never intended to take Frandi as his student.
"I'll leave Frandi's matter to you. Also, there's something else you need to pay attention to that happened at the Tower of Dawn these past few days."
"In the past two days, Nova's promotion to a formal wizard has attracted the attention of many formal wizards, so several first-class wizard apprentices have taken this opportunity to advance to the first-class wizard apprentice level."
"In the past two days, a total of five first-class wizard apprentices attempted to advance to full wizard status. Four of them failed, and only one succeeded."
If Leo had heard this earlier, he might have been nervous. But now that he has the ability to create black gold, he's not particularly concerned about it.
Leo asked, "Master Stoffen, was the first-class wizard apprentice who successfully advanced to the next level Nova Wizard?"
When it comes to successfully becoming a formal wizard, the first face that comes to Leo's mind is Nova.
"No, the one who successfully advanced to become a full-fledged wizard was another first-class wizard apprentice who wasn't favored by others. He was already quite old, and even if he advanced to become a full-fledged wizard, it would be difficult for him to make any further progress."
"Did the wizard Nova fail?"
Leo frowned; he hadn't expected that even a genius wizard like Nova could fail to advance.
"That's right. Nova's failure was indeed unexpected by everyone, and not only Nova, but Anthony also failed, which was really unexpected by us formal wizards."
Leo fell silent.
Among the first-class wizard apprentices he had encountered, Nova and Anthony were definitely among the top two. Now, they had both failed, which inevitably made Leo feel a little uneasy about advancing to become a formal wizard.
Clearly, becoming a full-fledged wizard is not something that can be achieved solely through talent.
However, Leo quickly calmed down.
Compared to these first-class wizard apprentices, Leo has one advantage: he has the aid of an illustrated manual.
That's all I wanted to tell you.
"Now, four out of the five of them have failed, which means that there is probably only one chance left for the remaining Mo Jin material to advance as a first-class wizard apprentice."
"If this spot is taken by someone else and they fail, then your path to advancement as a first-class wizard apprentice will probably be cut off."
"From now on, there will likely be countless first-class wizard apprentices who will sabotage each other, all in order to become one of the candidates to advance to the rank of full wizard."
The falcon flew out of the window and left the room.
"It's getting harder and harder for wizards to make a living in this world."
Leo sighed.
Formal wizards hold a very high status.
Currently, with the decreasing number of Mojin, only one person remains who can become a first-class wizard apprentice.
If it weren't for the illustrated guide, Leo would be panicking by now.
"The inferior quality of the Ink Gold Illustrated Manual already ensures that I can advance to a formal wizard without being restricted by Ink Gold. However, if its quality is further improved, it might provide other benefits to the composition of my spell box."
With that in mind, Leo focused his attention on the Mojin illustration.
As soon as Leo opened his room, he saw Frandi outside.
Leo blinked, his eyes filled with undisguised surprise, and said, "It's still early, Wizard Frandi."
"Hello, Wizard Leo, I have been waiting for you for a long time," Frandi said. "I wonder when you can begin your test of me."
77
Upon hearing this, Leo said, "Wizard Frandi, there's no need to be in such a hurry. Why not relax a little? Anyway, I won't run away from the test. Let's finish breakfast first, and then we can discuss the test in detail."
Leo's casual attitude made Frandi even more nervous. He couldn't figure out if Leo was relaxed because he was certain Frandi wouldn't pass the test, or because the test was too easy for Frandi.
However, Frandi still obediently followed Leo to eat.
The white tower offers comprehensive services.
Everything from cleaning to three meals a day is provided.
