Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

Clotilde first glanced around and, seeing that the experimental area was quite spacious, raised his hand and squeezed his throat.

"As you all probably already know, the wizards from the Natural Codex and the Chelka family will be visiting our academy for an exchange soon."

It was as if there was a switch in his throat; when he squeezed it, his voice instantly became several times louder, loud enough for everyone present to hear.

"In fact, they had already arrived through the jump portal last night, and... some of the wizards from the Chelka family are very interested in the research areas of our Koya Spire."

He paused, then slowly scanned his surroundings before continuing in a loud voice:

"And coincidentally, just a few days ago, our wizard Mena spotted a flock of 'Tiritz Winterbirds' above the Takond tundra."

"Therefore, our tower master has decided that this time, you will join forces with the wizards of the Chelka family to hunt the Tilitz Winterbird."

"After you return from the hunt, you will demonstrate to them the process of using the secret source to transform these magical beasts into ice elemental life forms."

……

After Clotilde left, a murmur of discussion immediately arose throughout the area.

Some people were whispering about the Chelca family, while others were discussing how to transform the Tilitz Winterbird into an ice elemental life form.

"..."

In the corner, Hughes remained silent, seemingly isolated from the surrounding noise.

He stood there quietly, pondering the information about the Tillys Winterbird.

This is an extremely rare ice-attribute magical beast.

Not only because their numbers are extremely small, but also because their entire population is constantly migrating, making it difficult even for shamans to locate them.

The reason they can migrate continuously is because of their special physical structure that allows them to never tire.

The front half of the Tilitz Winterbird's body is a giant, snow-white bird, but the rear half is a large, condensed mass of ice mist.

Furthermore, what supports their flight is not their wings, but this condensed and persistent ice mist.

This makes them tireless in flight; as long as the cloud of ice mist isn't exhausted, they can keep flying until they die.

As for their wings? They are used to perform witchcraft.

That's right, the Tilitz Winterbird is a magical beast with considerable intelligence, and it is particularly skilled in ice elemental magic.

Furthermore, they are not only capable of performing witchcraft, but the leaders of their tribes can even manage to speak a few broken words of the common language.

It is precisely this remarkable wisdom and unique physical structure that have etched the characteristics of unrestrained and eternal flight into their symbolic blood.

As for how to capture them, or rather, locate them, there is only one way—wait for them to stop on their own.

Every year, the Tilitz winterbird stays in areas that have experienced disasters such as ice storms and blizzards for a period of time.

This is because such areas are often where ice element particles are restless, which can effectively charge the ice mist body that lies behind them.

They will only migrate again as a group once all members of the tribe have fully recharged.

And this waiting period is the best time to hunt them.

With that in mind, Hughes quickly left the Koya Spire to prepare for his upcoming hunting plan.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with this obviously forced task, he understood the purpose behind it.

After all, this mission was specifically created because the Chelka family wizards who came to exchange ideas were interested in the current research fields of the Koya Spire.

This also means that the wizards of the Chelka family will share some of their knowledge with the Koya Spire.

Of course, Hughes was somewhat displeased that his personal time had been forcibly taken away.

After all, he hadn't expected that even the arrest operation would have to be carried out by the researchers themselves.

However, the thought of seeing the legendary Tilitz Winterbird lessened his dissatisfaction and even piqued his interest.

Furthermore, this seemed to be his first opportunity to come into contact with the elves from the Chelca family.

Therefore, overall, this mission was worthwhile...

Soon, Hughes teleported back to his dormitory via the gap anchor and began preparing the necessary items for this mission.

The Tillys Winterbirds are extremely cunning and dangerous magical beasts, so he dared not be careless and had to prepare some special methods to help capture them.

He believed that other wizards must be doing the same thing.

……

Two days later, Hughes arrived at a beach next to the academy, the place where they were to meet the elves of the Chelka family.

He arrived rather late; some of the wizards were already there, all familiar faces from the Koya Spire.

The Chelca family elves and the Clotilde wizards haven't appeared yet, but they'll probably arrive together soon.

After nodding and greeting Bilim, he found a spot to stand.

"Huff... Waaah!!"

Not long after, a noise came from the direction of the academy.

Immediately afterwards, several figures descended swiftly from the clouds; they were the elves of the Chelca family.

Hughes looked up and was somewhat surprised to see that the elves of the Chelca family were all wearing the same uniform.

Without exception, they were all dressed in light gold armor forged by elven craftsmanship, the surface of which shimmered with a layer of radiant light gold luster.

The only difference between them was the wizard robes they wore, but they all had the same emblem embroidered in a prominent place.

It was a golden leaf, with intricate runes interwoven into its golden veins, making it appear magnificent and noble.

Clearly, this is the sigil of the Chelka family, which not only symbolizes the five-ring family on the Oren plane, but also represents the Chelka clan located on the Wizarding plane behind it.

"Da x2"

Soon, two wizards landed first: one was Clotilde from their spire, and the other was a handsome male forest elf.

Immediately afterwards, the elven wizards in the sky also landed and stood behind the two.

After everyone landed, Clotilde introduced them to the people at the spire:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the wizard leading the exchange group, Lord Kerintel Chilka, and the elites of the Chilka family."

Then, he turned to look at Kelintel beside him.

"Lord Kelintel, these are the wizards of our Koya Spire, currently engaged in research related to the transformation of magical beasts into ice elemental life forms."

Upon hearing this, Kelintel slowly nodded and said:

"The fusion of ice element and the soul of a monster is an extremely bold idea, and I hope that the upcoming exchange will be fruitful for both sides."

Thus, the two parties got to know each other briefly.
