Wizard: Starting from Escaping Another World to Pioneering

A teaching building of the Tidal School.

Matthew rushed here after saying goodbye to Miró.

When he stepped into the classroom, he found it already full of apprentices.

Randy the Wizard was a renowned master of runic literature within the school, making his public classes quite popular among his apprentices.

Matthew had left early to find a seat near the front, but his conversation with Milo took up a lot of time.

Left with no other choice, he sat down in a corner of the classroom.

A moment later, a handsome young man with golden hair walked into the classroom.

The young man looked around the classroom and said, "My name is Durk, and I am a student of Wizard Randy."

My advisor was unable to attend class today because he was conducting an important research project.

I will be representing you in this rune general education class.

Within the school, only paid courses must be taught in person by the responsible instructor.

As for general courses, it is common for instructors to arrange for their own students to attend when they are unable to attend.

The apprentices were used to it, so they didn't complain.

This Durk was a mid-level apprentice, more than capable of teaching this group of beginner apprentices.

"Today I'm going to explain the relationship between runes and elements."

Durk took out a thick book from his storage ring; it appeared to be his personal notebook.

Although the book cover is yellowed, the edges are completely unworn, showing how much the owner cherishes it.

He carefully opened his notebook. "The relationship between elements and runes is like that between a carrier and energy."

Everyone knows that elemental particles are widely present in the air...

Dürke explained very quickly, glossing over many parts, leaving the apprentices below the stage completely confused.

However, no one dared to interrupt the question, or even complain in hushed tones, because the person in front of them was a genuine intermediate-level apprentice, and no one dared to have any objections.

This reminded Matthew of the teachers he knew in college who were always eager to leave work and just coast through the day.

Dürke seemed unwilling to waste his precious time on this group of irrelevant novice apprentices.

Therefore, he announced the end of get out of class in less than ten minutes.

"Alright, that concludes today's lesson. You can study on your own for the rest of the time!"

Then he suddenly smiled and said, "Of course, if you have any questions, you can ask me."

However, you will need to pay the corresponding amount of magic stones.

After saying that, Dürk went straight behind the podium, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

He completely ignored the thoughts of the apprentices below the stage, and of course, these apprentices dared not have any thoughts.

After sitting down, Dürter opened the yellowed notebook and began writing something on it with a quill pen. Judging from his serious expression, he seemed to be performing some important calculation.

The classroom fell silent. Apart from a few apprentices who left early, no one complained or went up to ask questions.

Everyone here is a novice apprentice, and there are not many ways to obtain magic stones. No one is willing to spend magic stones to ask questions.

At this moment, Matthew got up from his seat and walked slowly down the stairs toward the podium.

Noticing someone approaching, Dult stopped what he was doing, closed his notebook to prevent being spied on, and looked up at the person walking towards him.

"What is it?" Matthew's approach interrupted his calculations, which displeased him, and his tone was cold.

"Senior, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

Duerte held up one finger. "One magic stone fragment, one question."

Matthew didn't say much, but took out a magic stone from his spatial bracelet and handed it to the other person.

His movements attracted the attention of the other apprentices, who all turned their gazes toward him.

They hadn't expected that someone would actually be willing to spend magic stones to ask a question.

At this moment, the expressions of the people below the stage varied. Some were curious, some were disdainful, and some were plotting something.

After receiving the magic stone, Durt's expression softened considerably, and the coldness in his tone disappeared. "Ask away."

Without hesitation, Matthew voiced his question: "I want to know how the mana flow occurs when elements and runes establish a connection."

This is what we just covered in class, but Dürer deliberately glossed over it without going into detail.

This was the same question the other apprentices wanted to ask, so when Matthew spoke, everyone's eyes lit up, and they instinctively held their breath and listened intently.

Unfortunately, Duarte wouldn't allow anyone to get knowledge for free; he raised his hand and cast a spell to block out the sound.

Helpless, everyone had no choice but to reluctantly abandon their unrealistic fantasies.

At this point, Dulter took out an hourglass, turned it upside down, and said, "Your question is very simple, because elements produce..."

As Dult explained the answers to Matthew, he opened his notebook.

This time, he didn't notice Matthew's gaze falling on his notes.

Because the content of the notes is exactly what he is saying now, only he explains it in a more accessible way, while adding his own insights at some key points.

With Dürter's patient explanation, Matthew understood immediately. It turned out that he had deliberately omitted several key points, which explained why Matthew was so confused.

However, Matthew did not show any sudden realization at this moment, but instead pretended to be puzzled.

Because his goal from the beginning was this notebook, asking questions was just a side effect.

Title: The Wizard Apprentice's Notes

Ingredients: ...

[Description: A worn-out notebook containing the research findings of a wizard's apprentice.]

[Extractable content: Runic knowledge (content), Enchanting knowledge (content), Sorcery scroll crafting methods...]

Matthew asked with a puzzled look, "I still don't quite understand your question, senior. I think I need to copy down your notes and digest them slowly when I get back."

Duterte remained silent.

Seeing the other person's expression, Matthew couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"It wasn't that easy to succeed after all."

However, at this moment, Dult stared intently at Matthew, a chilling smile slowly spreading across his face.

Matthew's heart skipped a beat. "Has he discovered something?"

Duarte glanced at Matthew, then at his own notes.

"Sure, but you'll need to add a magic stone fragment."

"Um?"

Matthew was speechless, completely taken aback by Dult's unexpected reply.

However, Matthew was not overwhelmed by the surprise; his expression remained calm and showed no sign of anything amiss.

"And..." Duarte warned, pointing to his notebook, "You can only copy this page. If you dare to try anything funny in front of me, I'll make you experience the wrath of a mid-level apprentice."

Matthew quickly took out a magic stone from his spatial bracelet, his eyes filled with sincerity.

"Senior, I know the rules!"

It's an equivalent exchange: one magic stone fragment for a mid-level apprentice's research notes.

Matthew took out his notebook and began copying down the contents of his notes.

"System, extract the content!"

When he touched the notebook, a flood of information rushed into Matthew's mind.

Although he had already obtained the contents of the notes, Durant watched his actions with a wary expression.

Matthew dared not be careless at all and still pretended to be copying diligently.
