Full-Time Wizard: Starting with Harvesting Wheat

Even with Roy's exceptional memory, he didn't think he had an advantage over wizard apprentices in terms of memory. Soraya's high evaluation of him was a real surprise to him.

"It seems that the memory level of wizard apprentices is not as strong as I thought, and their need for memory should be more urgent."

After all, a wizard's apprentice must have to learn far more than a complete novice like him.

As if she could read his mind, Soraya said.

—Memory potions and concentration potions sell very well among apprentices. One enhances memory in a short time, while the other strengthens concentration, essentially improving learning efficiency.

She shook her head.

But that's still not enough. Even wizards are dissatisfied with their own learning speed. No one wants to learn everything in an instant.

So if your talent were revealed, it might make many wizards jealous.

—But don’t be complacent. While a wizard’s learning ability is important, the most important thing is imagination.

"Imagination?" Roy murmured.

"Alright, I'll tell Histor that you'll have knight training in the morning, and then come to me in the afternoon for basic knowledge lessons. Now, stay still."

Soraya suddenly frowned and extended her spiritual power.

Roy and Karazhan could not see the mental energy, but they could clearly sense that something was moving inside their bodies.

They exchanged a glance, and even Karazhan wondered what the moving thing was.

The magic worms that Soraya left in their bodies yesterday!

—I will manipulate magic insects to follow the so-called "breath" of the breathing technique. You can sense the breath by sensing the magic insects.

Concise and concise.

This is what Soraya meant by helping them become knights!

Roy closed his eyes and immediately followed the movement of the magic worm inside his body.

Near the magic insect, there was a scorching power.

Upon touching it, his nasal cavity involuntarily began to breathe in a certain rhythm.

The warmth spread instantly with each breath, making the whole body feel cozy.

at the same time--

[Normal Breathing (Knight Breathing Technique)]

【frequency:……】

[Intensity: ...]

[Performance Standard: 43%]

[Special Effect: For every 1324 breaths, an estimated 0.1 Strength and 0.1 Constitution are gained; maximum effect unknown. The effect increases with standardization.]

In an instant, the standard of normal breathing increased to 43%.

Although he only attended half a day of class, Roy clearly remembered what the teacher had said yesterday.

The first step after sensing the breath is to master standard normal breathing, followed by transforming it into the normal breathing of the Lion Breathing Method.

In other words, we are still in the foundational stage.

"Improve the frequency and intensity..."

Following the suggested modifications, Roy's breathing rate decreased, and the intensity gradually eased, becoming closer to his normal breathing rhythm, with the standard rising to 53%.

Not enough? Let's revise it again!

He was completely immersed in the rhythm of the breathing technique, almost forgetting time and everything around him.

Nearby, Karazhan had already finished the battle. He had just confirmed that he could return to normal breathing at any time. Turning around, he saw Roy's breathing frequency changing. He was stunned for a moment, then, unwilling to admit defeat, he tried to imitate him and even managed to imitate him somewhat.

Before they knew it, two more hours had passed as the two of them stood there breathing.

Soraya snapped out of her reverie and, finding them still there, gave a strange look and pulled a glass cube from under the table.

Upon closer inspection, the cube-shaped container was a maze. At the entrance of the maze lay a small white mouse, its body rising and falling evenly as it slept. She placed a small piece of cheese at the end of the maze. The little mouse seemed to suddenly receive a message, or perhaps it smelled the aroma of cheese; it straightened its body and began to move.

Soraya had the mouse navigate the maze once yesterday. For most animals, this wouldn't be enough to establish muscle memory, but the mouse did it as if it knew the maze like the back of its hand, perfectly avoiding dead ends and reaching the end via the shortest path.

It's as if it understood the entire maze's structure and then chose the perfect path.

It happily bit into the cheese and swallowed it in no time. At the end, a small opening appeared in the wall of the container, through which the white mouse could go to the outside world.

However, it merely glanced at the opening, then silently returned the way it came and lay down in the same spot as the starting point.

The outside world is unknown, and there's no guarantee that one will be able to eat cheese every day, which suppresses its desire for freedom.

Seeing this, Soraya nodded in satisfaction.

This was a project she researched during her studies.

It involves fusing the bloodline of a certain organism into a white rat, making it extremely intelligent, and according to her tests, its intelligence level will increase over time.

She had changed the maze many times. At first, it was a very simple type, and the little mouse couldn't find the exit. Now it's a maze with many twists and turns, and the little mouse can find the exit with ease.

Moreover, it can even consider the gains and losses of leaving through an exit in a humanistic way.

This undoubtedly proves that its intelligence is improving.

Next, Soraya will observe whether there are any adverse reactions to the blood fusion between the white rats and this creature, and at what time the growth of intelligence will stop.

If everything goes well, the next step is to improve the method of fusion, using mortals as test subjects. Next will be wizard apprentices, and finally, wizards themselves.

This will be a long process, taking at least several decades. But if successful, it will leave a deep mark on the wizarding world.

—No adverse reactions today.

Soraya noted down the current condition of the white mice in her notebook.

Intelligence, appetite, coat color, pupils—record everything you can think of.

Without a doubt, this is the attitude a scientific researcher should have.

After doing all this, Soraya stretched and opened her mouth slightly, revealing a charming and alluring look. However, this allure quickly disappeared, replaced by a return to her cold and dignified expression.

Then, she sat back down on the mahogany chair, slightly crossing one leg. Her legs, encased in thin black stockings, were shapely, paired with a pair of high-heeled, ankle-strap leather boots. There were no superfluous decorations, yet they accentuated her elegance.

She became motionless, her pupils seemingly containing starlight.

This is a daily compulsory course for an apprentice—meditation using the method of meditation.

As long as Soraya wants to become a wizard in the future, she cannot stop meditating, otherwise her mental strength will stagnate.

Therefore, no matter how busy she is, she will always set aside some time each day for meditation.

Roy only came out of his normal breathing state when the hourglass on the table had run halfway down.

It has to be said that the breathing he was used to doing was so difficult, which was beyond his imagination.

It took two hours to barely reach the 70% standard.

"But that should be enough. Should I find an instructor to learn the next stage of the Lion Breathing Technique?"

If he had quickly learned normal breathing before becoming Soraya's disciple, he definitely wouldn't have revealed it so early. After all, what if he progressed so fast that the lord sent him for dissection?

But now, he has a wizard apprentice backing him up, and even Lord Histor's life is in the other's hands.

He became bolder.
