Wizard: I can predict the future

The cafeteria's location is quite obvious; Nord had noticed it before.

The moment he stepped into the cafeteria, Iria, who was having her meal, spotted him.

She stood up and waved.

"Nord, over here."

Nord looked in the direction of the sound and saw Iria sitting with the other reserves, including Vera.

His gaze swept over the group of people, a thought flickered in his mind, and he walked over.

This is normal. When people move from a familiar small environment to an unfamiliar one, they often subconsciously gravitate towards people who have come from the same place to gain a basic sense of security and belonging.

Moreover, these people are not strangers.

As Iria shouted, the other reservists who were having their meal also noticed Nord.

Nord's reputation had already spread throughout the entire giant ship.

After all, legendary knights are extremely rare.

Although they were all wizard trainees, the earliest of them had only been on the ship for a little over a month, and none of them had yet been able to construct a mental model to officially become wizard apprentices.

When Nord arrived at the long table, the servants nearby had already set out the food.

Iria saw Nord sit down and asked:

"Why didn't I see you come out at noon?"

"I looked at the books in the room and got completely absorbed in them."

Nord gave a casual explanation.

Upon hearing this, Iria put down her knife and fork, and said dejectedly:

"This meditation method and that math thing are too difficult; I can't understand them at all."

Her words seemed to open a floodgate.

"Yeah, I didn't even understand the first page..."

"I have absolutely no idea what those symbols mean."

"I got a headache after watching for a while, and I felt sleepy."

Soon, many people around the table started complaining, and the whole table became noisy.

Vera, who had been quietly eating, frowned slightly as she watched her companions pouring out their grievances.

She put down her cutlery and said calmly:

"The content in 'Basic Mathematics' is quite simple, isn't it?"

The moment those words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.

Several nobles who were still complaining glanced at her subconsciously, their expressions showing a hint of surprise.

Vera, seemingly oblivious to the reactions of the crowd, continued:

"I've already finished reading about half of it today."

This time, even the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

"A little over half?"

"You mean, you understood it?"

Someone couldn't help but speak, their tone filled with disbelief.

Iria was also stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Vera, her eyes full of surprise and envy.

Nord raised an eyebrow and looked up at Vera.

He knew very well that a wizard's talent was definitely not as simple as just having high innate mental strength.

If one is simply born with high mental strength, everyone can continuously improve through this meditation method, and this slight difference has little impact.

The key point is that high innate mental strength often means that they also possess extremely high learning and comprehension abilities.

Vera said she had read more than half of it, which was definitely not just a simple skim; she must have understood most of the content.

When Vera noticed that everyone was looking at her, she paused for a moment, seemingly thinking about how to explain herself.

"Those symbols simply represent different things; they are essentially describing the relationships between them."

"Once you find the pattern, it's easy to understand."

These words, however, silenced many people even more.

If you can't even understand it, why are you trying to find patterns?

Seeing that most people still had blank expressions on their faces, Vera continued:

"If you find it difficult, you can go to the meditation room. Although you can't meditate there because you haven't built a mental model, it's easier to concentrate and you'll have fewer distracting thoughts when you study there."

"A meditation room?"

Nord accurately captured the key information.

Vera nodded: "Yes, there's a meditation room on each of the three floors and above."

As she spoke, she looked at the others.

"If you go up there yourselves, you'll definitely be kicked out by people on the third floor and above."

"However, you can ask Nord to take you up."

"Those guys who caused trouble for Nord this morning, just because they were strong, wouldn't allow anyone below the third floor to go up freely. At the same time, they took the opportunity to collect bribes, only allowing those who had given them enough benefits to go up."

As Vera finished speaking, everyone at the table turned to look at Nord.

Several pairs of eyes, filled with expectation, probing, and even a hint of flattery, all fell upon him.

Nord didn't speak immediately. He slowly put down his knife and fork and looked up at everyone.

Bringing people up was not difficult for him; if Ron and the others could do it, he could too.

But he had no interest in being a nanny, much less in letting these people take his abilities for granted and use them as a tool.

"I have no such plans."

"However, Princess Vera possesses a sixth-tier talent. I imagine no one would dare to stop you from leading them up there!"

As soon as she finished speaking, many nobles turned their gazes to Vera, their expressions showing a mixture of hesitation and anticipation.

Vera paused slightly and looked up at Nord.

"My friends don't really like other people going up there."

Her tone was equally calm.

The words caused everyone present to freeze in shock.

They had only boarded the ship in the morning, so naturally they didn't have any friends on board. The friends Vera mentioned were either an excuse or other sixth-level talent wizard trainees.

With a simple sentence, he decisively nipped everyone's thoughts in the bud.

Suddenly, the entire dining table fell silent.

This small group has completely split apart.

Dinner is over.

Nord seemed somewhat distracted as he followed the main group back to Aria on the lower deck.

"Iria".

He called out.

Iria seemed to have just snapped out of her thoughts, paused slightly, and looked up at him.

"Um?"

"Go and get the book; I'll take you to the meditation room later."

Iria was taken aback at first, then her eyes lit up with joy. Her previously low spirits dissipated in an instant, and she felt much lighter.

"I'll go right away."

Just then, Evan, who was standing nearby, also stopped.

He glanced at Iria subconsciously, then looked back at Nord, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't speak.

He knew very well that Nord had only promised his father to help take care of him, and had no obligation to take him up there.

Nord watched as Evan hesitated for a moment before finally catching up with the main group.

"Evan, you come too."

If Evan had actually asked him for help, he wouldn't have refused for Ivan's sake, but he would definitely avoid him in the future.

But the other party was self-aware, so he didn't mind bringing them along.

Evan was taken aback, and subconsciously turned around to look at Nord standing there. He straightened up instinctively.

"it is good."

His slightly trembling body clearly indicated that his mind was not at peace.

As a group of people disappeared from the deck.

Nord stood there, preparing to go to the side of the ship to experience the sea; he had never been to sea before.

However, the next moment, he paused, his brows furrowed as he looked at the three people walking towards him from the side.

It was Ron and his two companions.
