Wizard: Starting from Escaping Another World to Pioneering

He packed his things and left without saying goodbye to King Phili.

Draven has been missing for days, and royal spies have reported that internal strife has broken out within the Harrison family.

Several great knights rebelled, throwing the place into chaos.

King Phile wanted to seize this opportunity to wipe out the Harrison family, so he sent troops to attack them.

Matthew had no interest in the outcome of the campaign.

However, he did not forget the stitched dragon beast imprisoned in the Harrison family's forbidden area.

Matthew killed the stitched dragon beast and used the system to extract the essence of the materials.

This can be considered as indirectly doing King Philip a great favor.

……

Seven days later...

Matthew successfully returned to the Tidal School.

After settling the rental fee for the Alchemist Spider, he left the rental office.

The rental area and the teleportation hall were right next to each other. As he walked out of the door, he heard a familiar voice.

"Matthew!"

Matthew turned around and saw his neighbor Milo coming out of the teleportation hall. He couldn't help but ask, "Milo? You went to the Winter Realm?"

"Yes, just from there..."

Milo's voice suddenly stopped.

He circled Matthew, looking him up and down with an incredulous expression.

"You...have been promoted to intermediate apprentice?"

Matthew nodded noncommittally.

He went out to complete his mission immediately after his promotion, so the two have not met yet.

"You've only been back from the Winter Realm for about six months, how come you've advanced so quickly?"

Milo exclaimed in surprise. He clearly remembered that his talent was not much different from Matthew's, but his mental strength was only 20 points, while the other party had actually advanced to the intermediate apprentice level!

Matthew remained silent. His mental strength had grown so rapidly not only because of the mixed elemental spirits, but also largely because of his high compatibility with the Forgotten Diagram.

However, this growth rate was not enough, and he did not say much more on the topic.

"By the way, did you see Dolan when you were in the Winter Realm?"

"Dolan? I've never met him before..." Milo pondered for a moment, "but I heard from others that he took on a long-term mission, replacing Mold's original job, and is now stationed in the Winter Realm."

"Residing permanently in the Winter Realm..." Matthew frowned upon hearing this, feeling that Dolan's behavior was quite unusual.

He recalled the strange aura that flashed across the other person's body before the mission began, which was exactly the same as the eye rune, and he felt that there was something strange about it.

"Perhaps once I completely transform that rune, I'll find the answer..."

"By the way, I can't talk to you any longer, I have to rush to the Smith family's general store," Milo's words interrupted Matthew's thoughts.

Matthew was puzzled. He hadn't been in the school for a while, so Tom's potions and scrolls should have been sold out long ago.

"You seem to be in such a hurry. Has the Smith family's grocery store stocked something good again?"

Milo snapped his fingers crisply. "You guessed right!"

"About a month ago, their general store launched a new [Lightfall Spell Scroll]!"

"You might not believe it, but this reel has a power output of 600 degrees!"

"That's 600 degrees!"

"I encountered two Snow Demon Apes in the Winter Realm this time, and I took care of them both with just one [Lightfall Scroll]!"

"Tom said it was a masterpiece created by Master Cangyan with painstaking effort!"

"Master Azure Flame..." Matthew's face darkened. He never expected that the pale flame mark he had casually applied back then would now become his title.

The key point is that this title also...

That's so damn cringeworthy!

Milo, oblivious to the embarrassment on Matthew's face, continued to explain.

"Master Cangyan, you probably don't know him yet. He is a scroll manufacturing genius who has recently emerged in our school."

"My previous [Firebird Spell Scroll] was also made by him."

"According to Tom, this Azure Flame Master has been practicing scroll making for less than two and a half months..."

Matthew couldn't stand it anymore and quickly waved his hand to interrupt.

"Didn't you just say that was a new reel that was released a month ago?"

"They're probably sold out long ago. Do you think you can make it in time?"

"We'll make it!" Milo said smugly, his tone very confident.

"You know that?"

"certainly!"

"I'm a regular customer at the Smith family's grocery store, and I know Tom there very well, so I have inside information."

"Master Cangyan cared deeply for the masses. He didn't want his masterpiece to be monopolized by a few, but rather hoped to save the lives of more apprentices, so he..."

Miro paused for a moment, then continued, "So he plans to produce only one reel per day for a limited supply!"

Matthew scratched his head, silently thinking, "I didn't, I didn't..."

Milo added, "Furthermore, the reels are not sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Instead, each person is given a number, and only those selected are eligible to purchase them, thus ensuring that everyone has a chance."

After the other party explained, Matthew finally understood Tom's plan.

The powerful [Lightfall Scroll] he created will surely become a new "traffic driver" item.

Tom didn't want the "traffic" to run out so quickly, so he split the batch of [Lightfall Scrolls] and sold them off.

In his previous life, this was called maintaining popularity, and the [Light Meteor Technique Scroll] he created was the code to traffic!

Matthew recalled how he had stayed up all night in his past life to snatch a certain mobile phone, and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"That dead-faced guy is a real swindler, putting on a show like a monkey!"

If the inside story were to be exposed, Matthew had no doubt that Tom would be hanged on the Wizard Tower by the angry apprentice!

Milo nudged Matthew with his elbow, "How about it, want to try and grab one too?"

"I've been spending a lot of magic stones there lately. Others can only get one purchase number at a time, but I can get two."

"If I asked, I should be able to get you two purchase numbers."

"But let me make this clear first, I can't guarantee I'll be able to snag the [Lightfall Technique Scroll]."

Matthew gave an awkward smile. "Th-thank you, Milo."

"But not for the scroll..."

"Fine, you don't know what's good for you!" Milo rolled his eyes at him, then headed towards the market area.

Matthew was somewhat amused and exasperated. He shook his head and headed towards the mission hall.

……

After he submitted the task to repair the rune nodes, his crystal ball gained twelve more points.

Matthew approached Geralt and said, "I want to exchange credits for knowledge."

Geralt didn't say much. He took the item exchange catalog out of the drawer and handed it to Matthew.

Matthew needed to become a senior apprentice before he could take the wizarding advancement trial, so he didn't hesitate to open the knowledge category related to mental power growth.

After some searching, he finally found two pieces of knowledge related to the growth of mental strength.

But when he saw the required credits, his face turned grim.
