Chapter 319 Still Uncertain
Leo's night here was just like the Esmond Gathering at the Tower of Dawn; he was well taken care of and lived comfortably.
The person taking care of Leo was a pretty and cute girl with a few freckles on her face.
The knight and the wizard made different choices regarding who would take care of them.
Wizards would choose lizardmen as servants, as they are stronger and have more stamina.
Knights, on the other hand, would choose beautiful women as their servants.
The servants prepared bread with a moderate softness for Leo and Frandi.
Before heading to the Tower of Dawn, Leo also ate the bread from this world and found it to be hard and very unpalatable.
However, the bread Leo ate here was soft and crispy.
From the arrangement of servants to the bread.
All I can say is that the knights really know how to enjoy themselves.
Frandi appeared nervous while eating.
Even the bread in his hand was just swallowed whole.
Leo, on the other hand, seemed relaxed and carefree.
After finishing the meal, Leo said to Frandi under his eager gaze, "Wizard Frandi, do you know any place around here that is quiet, bright, and spacious?"
"There are several suitable places," Frandi said. "Wizard Leo, if you agree, I'll take you there now—to see them."
"Thank you for your trouble, Wizard Frandi."
The place Frandi took Leo to was a beach on the edge of the island.
"The Wizard Leo, this is it," Frandi said.
Leo looked around and said, "Hmm, this place is indeed quite nice."
"Frandi Wizard, now it is time for my test to test you."
Leo asked, "Before we begin the test, I have a question for you to answer. Wizard Frandi, what aspect of yourself are you most confident in?"
Frandi frowned, pondering the meaning of Leo's words.
"Frandi Wizard, you don't need to overthink it. Just tell me what you think you possess that would make Master Stoffen willing to accept you as a student."
Upon hearing Leo's words, Frandi immediately replied, "I am very confident in my talent."
Leo asked, "What kind of talent? The ability to learn spells, the level of mental strength talent, memory ability, creativity, improvement ability... Please be more specific."
Frandi said, "Wizard Leo, I possess a combination spell that modifies bloodlines, specifically the power of the Red Dragon among the five chromatic dragon species."
"that's all?"
After listening, Leo remained noncommittal about Frandi's answer.
This attitude greatly displeased Frandi: "Wizard Leo, as a student of a formal wizard specializing in bloodline modification, you should also know just how rare this bloodline ability is."
Leo said, "If that's what you're saying, then I can only conclude that it's not that your talent is high enough, but that your luck is good enough to obtain the bloodline ability of the Red Dragon."
Frandi fell silent.
What Leo said didn't seem to make any mistakes.
Frandi said, "Wizard Leo, I may be very lucky, but I think my talent is also quite good, and I am absolutely worthy of becoming Wizard Stoffen's student."
Leo said, "Since that's what you think, then let's have a contest of talent."
"Next, let's compete in learning ability."
"Pick any spell that neither of us has mastered, and then see how quickly we can learn it from each other."
"We will have three competitions in total. If you can learn a spell faster than me even once, then I will acknowledge you."
""
"This...it's that simple?!"
Frandi couldn't help but be surprised.
He had expected Leo to make things difficult for him, but to his surprise, Leo gave him a test that was advantageous to Frandi.
Wizards' learning abilities vary significantly depending on the subject they study.
If Frandi could find a subject he could learn faster to compete with Leo, his chances of winning would be much greater. Frandi suppressed his joy and asked as if to confirm, "Wizard Leo, shall the test begin now or later?"
""
Leo said, "I don't have that much time. It would be best to start today and finish tomorrow."
The time Leo gave him made Frandi frown instinctively. He said, "Tomorrow it will end? Wizard Leo, your joke isn't funny at all. Even if we start now, it's only a little over a day until tomorrow. How can you possibly learn magic in that kind of time?"
Leo asked, "How many days do you think it would normally take to master it?"
Frandi said, "It will take at least a week, and for difficult spells, it could take more than a month."
"But I can master the difficult spell you speak of in less than a day... Even so, do you still wish to continue my test?"
Although Leo's words were arrogant, the impression he gave was one of a peaceful smile.
Frandi's eyes flashed, and he said, "Alright, Wizard Leo, since you're so confident, I can begin the test now. However, in this case, the outcome of the test cannot be based on learning magic, and I admit I can't do that."
Leo said, "In that case, the outcome of the test will be decided. If I learn the spell tomorrow and you don't, then you will be deemed to have failed the test. If neither of us learns the spell, then Instructor Stoffen will evaluate us and see whose spell progress is faster."
Frandi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, let's go with this one."
In the first scenario, Frandi passes immediately.
After all, it's impossible for anyone to control a single day.
As for the second scenario, although it might be somewhat disadvantageous to Frandi, if Stoffen is unwilling to give him a fair evaluation, it would effectively thwart Frandi's desire to become Stoffen's student.
Leo said, "Alright, now you can specify the spell you wish to learn."
Frandi already had a spell in mind that he wanted to test, and he immediately blurted it out.
"The spells for the three trials are..."
"The three spells are: butterfly scent, light shift, tree hole extension, and blood sacrifice."
"The first type of spell is a bloodline modification spell, the second is a sculpting spell, and the third is a flesh and blood spell."
Leo nodded, then said, "You should have been trying to learn these three spells for a while now, right?"
Frandi said, "That's true. However, Wizard Leo, I've confirmed that as long as it's not a spell I've mastered, it can serve as a test, right?"
"Or do you think that, given my advantages, you can't gain a deeper understanding than I can?"
Leo said, "It's nothing, I was just asking casually. I didn't say you couldn't use it as a spell question for a test."
