Wizard: I can predict the future

Chapter 43 Deductive Meditation

Nord looked at Irene, who was a full two heads shorter than him.

Her eyes were very clear.

"I need to think about it."

He did not agree immediately.

Although he also needs to enter the Forest of Trials to earn magic stones.

Having a team is obviously safer when you know nothing about the Forest of Trials.

But Nord didn't know anything about Irene's team, or even their strength.

He has never hesitated to treat others with the worst possible malice.

If the strength is evenly matched, that's fine. But if the opponent is too strong, you might become a scapegoat or even bait.

Irene nodded.

"We were indeed being presumptuous."

"However, although our Spiritfire Squad is not very strong, we are not like some teams that absorb new members as expendable resources."

"Those who join the team will at least learn something and get their share."

"I'll give you an answer once I've thought it through."

After saying that, Nord turned and walked towards the dormitory.

Seeing this, Gray said goodbye to the three and quickly followed.

After he left.

Alvin stepped forward and looked at Irene.

"Boss, should we really choose him?"

"Although the legendary knight's strength is equivalent to a third-level wizard apprentice, he is ultimately not a wizard."

Ryan didn't speak, but his meaning was just as clear.

Irene sighed.

"There's no other way; the academy's preliminary exam is coming up soon."

"We must hurry."

……

the next day.

As usual, Nord first went to attend an open class.

They then proceeded to the academy's mission hall.

It's called the Mission Hall, but that's just what wizard apprentices call it; the original name has long been forgotten.

This is the liveliest place in the entire academy.

Anyone who possesses the Ash Academy badge can accept or issue quests.

However, the tasks issued by wizard apprentices are mostly rewarded with magic stones.

Tasks assigned by colleges and professors are mostly settled using college points.

The moment I stepped in.

Nord was then surrounded by a chorus of hushed conversations and noise.

Around the hall, several crystal balls floated above, projecting soft light curtains.

Within the light screen, task information continuously appeared and scrolled by.

Many people gathered in front of the light screen.

Holding his identification badge, he looked focused.

His mental energy had already sunk into the crystal ball, quickly browsing and filtering targets.

Nord followed the example of those around him and probed into it with his mental energy.

Soon, a series of task information appeared in my mind.

Gather Karagon Grass, quest reward: 5 Magic Stones, difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆

[Obtain the venom sac of the Dark Night Tarantula. Quest reward: 50 points. Difficulty: ★★★★☆]

[Clean up the lab, task reward: 1 point, difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆]

While he was browsing...

The task of "cleaning up the laboratory" suddenly appeared.

It was accepted by someone.

It disappeared from the task list instantly.

Most of the tasks here are unique and can only be claimed once.

Once accepted, it will no longer be displayed.

However, there are a few exceptions, namely competitive tasks.

These types of tasks can be accepted by multiple people.

Ultimately, the first submission will be considered.

This kind of task is not only highly rewarding, but also extremely difficult.

Obtaining the venom sac of the giant poison spider is such a task.

However, there is no penalty for failing to complete this task.

However, if the other unique task is not completed, half of the reward must be paid out.

There is another type of task, which is somewhere in between.

Multiple people can accept the task, but there is a lot of competition. As long as the task requirements are met, you can get the reward.

These tasks are either training missions issued by the academy or tasks that wizards need to acquire certain resources over a long period of time.

Ultimately, he accepted three training missions.

[10 Fire Ash Snake Gallbladders, Mission Reward: 5 Points, Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆]

[One bottle of Deinonychus Blood, Quest Reward: 10 Points, Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆]

[5 Fire Scorpion Stings, Mission Reward: 5 Points, Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆]

These three types of monsters are all equivalent to a level three wizard apprentice in strength.

The venomous attacks of the Fire Ash Snake and Fire Scorpion are relatively simple, so it's not difficult to prepare for them.

The only problem is that these monsters are solitary creatures and are very good at hiding, making them difficult to find.

Only the Terrorclaw Beast is versatile. Not only is its physical strength equivalent to that of a level three wizard apprentice on the bloodline side, but it also knows the zero-ring level three wizard secondary wind blade technique.

After receiving the task.

Nord did not rush to leave.

Instead, he stood aside, listening to the hushed discussions of the other wizard apprentices.

This not only allows us to gather information about the Trial Forest, but also helps us to find out about the Spiritfire Squad.

And so it went until nightfall.

He eventually heard about the Spiritfire Squad from a group of people.

That's pretty much exactly what Irene said.

Go back to dorms.

Nord looked at Gray, who was engrossed in the crystal ball.

"Grey, tell Irene and the others that I can join them temporarily."

This was a decision he had considered for a long time.

Although he prefers to act alone, he faces the bizarre monsters of the wizarding world.

He ultimately decided to play it safe for the time being.

Upon hearing this, Gray immediately stood up.

"Really? I'll go tell them right away."

After saying that, he ran out without looking back.

Nord shook his head upon seeing this.

He discovered that Gray was completely guileless.

But that's normal, after all, he's just a kid who has just entered the wizarding world.

I sat down at the long table.

Nord focused his attention on the mental model, sensing the magic power within the magic source, and carefully recalling the energy consumption of casting the Lesser Lightning spell.

After a moment, he made his judgment.

"My mental strength is around six points, and my magic strength is around forty points."

This is the result of his more than one hundred days of meditation.

With his current mental strength, he can probably unleash about twenty standard secondary lightning spells.

The release of witchcraft is essentially using spiritual power as a guide and magic to manipulate the world.

Therefore, mental energy will not be completely depleted.

Each spell cast consumes approximately one-third of the caster's energy.

Magic, on the other hand, is a real drain; the more you activate, the more you consume.

Similarly, the amount of mental energy invested determines the upper limit of the magic power that can be mobilized.

With his proficiency in minor lightning spells, a little mental energy can roughly drive about ten points of magic power.

Naturally, other wizard apprentices, if they have just learned this magic, will probably only be able to drive one or two points of magic with their limited mental strength.

Nord opened his eyes and looked at the panel.

Without the slightest hesitation.

"Deduction, meditation!"

The dimension increased again in the next instant.

The screen started flashing rapidly.

That was a scene of Nord meditating.

Meditation, until the limits of the mind.

Rest, then meditate, then rest again.

Back and forth.

There were no other activities, no other people, and not even food.

He was all alone in the whole world.
