The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 355 Lambert: Busy, everyone's busy, being busy is good!

Because the pioneers of the Cat School who left the Order years ago originally tried to take away the recipe for herbal decoction, but it was later recovered by the Order's witchers.

Left with no other choice, the pioneers of the cat school had to find new ways to mutate.

They did manage to devise a new formula, but the side effects were simply too great.

It overemphasizes and amplifies the extreme and biased aspects of Witcher, which is why Cat School Witchers are often portrayed as madmen, psychopaths, and sadists.

Lynn didn't want to see Cassia turn into a yandere.

Therefore, even if the Trial of the Grasses is improved by Mossack and others in the future, they do not intend to make Cassia a Cat School Witcher.

Now that he heard that Yennefer had discovered that Cassia possessed the talent to become a sorcerer, he was naturally happy for Cassia from the bottom of his heart.

Because, in comparison, warlocks have it much easier.

The sorcerers of this world can be considered as easy to learn but difficult to master, with a low minimum skill level but a high maximum skill level.

But at least it's not like the wizard-themed web novels Lynn read when he was still in his home world, where even doing an experiment with a mentor could lead to mutations and life-threatening situations.

This can be seen from the fact that the Aretusa Academy and Ban Ad Academy can consistently train a certain number of warlocks every year.

Aretusa Academy, in particular, has an atmosphere that is almost like a female version of Hogwarts.

Although not every sorcerer who graduates from the academy can become a powerful spellcaster.

As mentioned earlier, warlock is also a class with a very low skill floor.

It should be said that most warlocks do not possess magic power that is much stronger than the signs of a witcher.

But the knowledge they gained at the academy was enough to give them the means to make a living in this world.

Herbalist, alchemist...

These jobs are enough to allow them to live a life beyond that of ordinary people.

Since Cassia was learning magic from Yennefer, Lynn decided not to disturb them.

He thought for a moment and then suggested that Zoltan and the others take the long-traveled guests to have a nice hot bath to wash away their fatigue.

He himself was in no hurry, and first sat on the lawn of the training field to talk with the children.

Although it wasn't time for get out of class to end yet, today was a special case, so Lambert didn't say anything and let the children chatter around Lynn.

Lynn listened with a smile to the joys and sorrows of the children's daily lives and training, and to their troubles.

Although they were all just trivial matters, Lynn listened with great interest.

Time passed quickly, and night fell.

Lambert glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting dark."

"Alright, kids, stop bothering Lynn. It's time to eat. Today is different from usual. Didn't you see we have guests at the castle? If you're late, there won't be any food. You don't want to experience going hungry again, do you?"

Hearing Lambert say that, the children reluctantly stopped talking.

One of the children looked at Lynn expectantly.

"Lord Lynn, let's go have dinner together."

"Okay, let's go together then."

"Great!"

The children cheered and clung to Lynn as they walked toward the inner fortress. Some children were even smug about getting a spot right next to Lynn, while those who didn't looked disappointed.

In contrast, Lambert seemed like an empty-nest old man.

"Walking on the way to the inner fortress," Lynn asked.

"Lambert, how's it like being a teacher?"

Lambert replied, “To be honest, it’s terrible. You have no idea how bad these kids are at understanding. I have to teach them the most basic common sense over and over again, and they still can’t remember it. If it were before, I would have already grabbed a stick.”

Perhaps fearing Lynn's dislike, one of the children hurriedly said, "No, Lord Lynn, it's not that we lack understanding, but that Teacher Lambert's demands are too unrealistic."

“Yes, yes,” another child chimed in, “Mr. Lambert made us wear blindfolds and practice swordsmanship on wooden stakes, while also dodging a pendulum that swung back and forth…”

"If it weren't for the strong opposition from Ms. Tessia, Ms. Yennefer, and other teachers, Mr. Lambert would have made us practice double pendulums directly, which are two pendulums that swing with different patterns."

Upon hearing this, Lambert's fiery temper flared up immediately.

"Hey! You bunch of brats, you think you're all grown up now, huh? Daring to tattle on others? I've been shouting myself hoarse all day long, and who am I doing this for? I'm doing this for your own good! The more you sweat on the training field, the less blood you'll bleed when you actually face the monsters!"

One of the children, who hadn't spoken a word all along, said quietly.

“Mr. Lambert, we know that you, like other teachers, are doing this for our own good, but we really can’t meet your requirements right away.”

Seeing that the argument was about to escalate, Lynn didn't want to bring her emotions to the dinner table.

"Alright, children, perhaps Mr. Lambert is indeed a bit strict, but there is no denying that he is doing it for your own good."

"You may feel that you are still young, that you are still growing, that you still have time..."

"But when you actually face the monster, you will know that the monster will not show you any mercy because of your age or the length of your training, nor will it care whether you are ready or not."

Lynn's words silenced the children, and several of them even looked thoughtful.

After speaking to the children, he turned to Lambert and said the same thing.

"But then again, Lambert, I know your good intentions, but you also know that the physical training of a Witcher takes several years and cannot be completed overnight."

"Even a long march requires us to persevere step by step. We should prepare for a protracted war of resistance, rather than being overly impatient and pursuing short-term results."

“In terms of material things, I will provide you with ample support and security, so there is no need to worry about that. You don’t need to worry about money like you used to. I need them to be prepared, even if it takes a little longer.”

Lambert said slowly.

"When I first taught students, I was indeed a bit impatient. It was probably because I had already learned it myself, so I naturally assumed that others should learn it quickly as well."

"But I forgot that it took me a lot of effort to learn it... I understand, I will be more patient with them."

After Lambert finished speaking, he noticed that Lynn's gaze was fixed on him, and a half-smile appeared on her face.

This puzzled him.

"What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?"

“No,” Lynn shook his head with a wicked grin. “I just didn’t expect you to say something like that. Is this still the Lambert I know? If Professor Vesemir heard what you just said, he would probably be just as shocked as I am.”

Lambert scratched his cheek, looked away, and gazed into the distance.

"I'm still me, I haven't changed. It's just that since becoming a teacher, I've experienced some things I didn't have before..."

"Okay, I admit that in retrospect, I was a bit immature to have been at odds with Vesemir all along."
