Wizard: I can predict the future

Nord then withdrew his gaze and once again focused his attention on the crystal ball.

This time, he checked the magic shield.

Half an hour later, he opened his eyes again.

There was no sign of understanding in his eyes, but rather a hint of confusion.

In an instant, three questions involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

who am I?

where am I?

What am I supposed to do?

In his eyes, the sorcery model of levitation was merely a simple structure composed of eight basic wind elemental runes.

Then the magic shield is a completely different matter.

He looked at the runes as if he were back in the early days of Professor Luca's explanation of the Lesser Lightning spell.

I have absolutely no idea what these runes mean or what the model is made of.

Not to mention truly understanding them and then building a complete model of witchcraft.

"As expected, Evocation magic and wind elemental magic are completely different things."

Nord rubbed his temples, feeling a throbbing sensation in his head.

The reason he learned levitation so quickly was because he had a certain understanding of the basic wind element runes.

Many things are actually interconnected.

However, the magic shield is different.

Although this spell is also at the zero-ring second level, it belongs to the Evocation system.

It involves not just a single elemental rune, but a whole new knowledge system including magic shaping, structural stability, energy dispersion, and node circulation.

Nord did not continue his research on the magic shield spell.

Instead, he focused his mind back into the crystal ball and began to peruse the book on basic manipulative runes.

……

Time passed by little by little, and a month had gone by in the blink of an eye.

That day, Nord walked slowly along the road toward the center of the academy.

He attended his classes on time every day for the past month.

After the course, he would go to the potion workshop to continue the extraction and purification of magical plants.

Although he has not yet actually come into contact with the potion-making process.

However, during this month of practice, he has been able to complete the basic processing of most common magical plants in the workshop, as well as some low-level biological materials.

It meets the requirements for making magic potions.

In the evening, I meditate for two hours, followed by research on magic shields.

Although he is still far from mastering it, with his foundation in the basic wind element runes, he is learning the evocation runes much faster than when he first encountered the basic wind element runes in his deductions.

This made him realize that although the runes that make up these magical models may be very different, they have something in common.

That's why, after he gained a deep understanding of the basic wind element runes, learning other runes became significantly easier for him.

Before long, Nord arrived at the center of the academy.

This was his first time here.

In the distance, a towering wizard's tower stands before you, its surface covered with intricate and complex rune patterns.

He could sense a vast magical power at the top of the tower, a power countless times stronger than the magical power within his own body.

Nord looked up for a moment, a hint of excitement and envy appearing in his eyes.

He withdrew his gaze and slowly walked into the tower.

Nord had learned that, apart from the first floor which was for wizard apprentices, almost all the other floors of this wizard tower were independent laboratories.

Many formal wizards from the academy conduct their research here.

In addition, some laboratories are also open for rent to wizard apprentices.

However, the price is not cheap.

Even the lowest-level laboratory requires a considerable amount of college credits.

Not to mention those high-level laboratories equipped with protective arrays, elemental stabilization devices, and even fully automated material processing.

For Nord at present, that is a place that is out of reach.

He soon arrived at the registration desk.

The person in charge of registration was a young man.

Nord's gaze swept over the nameplate on the other person's chest.

[Taylor Booth]

[First-Level Wizard Apprentice]

He stepped forward and spoke softly:

"Senior, I'm here to register."

Taylor pointed to the crystal ball next to him.

"Place your hand on it, then release the mental energy model."

Upon hearing this, Nord raised his hand and gently placed it on the crystal ball.

Although he had tried it many times in private at the potion workshop, he still felt a little nervous.

He slowly closed his eyes and immersed his mind in his spiritual sea.

Nord immersed himself completely in his mental sea, concentrating all his mental energy into the mental energy model. At the same time, he activated the mental energy model, doing his best to isolate the crystal ball from the mental energy model.

At the same time, he released a wisp of spiritual and magical power, maintaining it at a level that was detectable but not revealing his presence.

A moment later, lines of text slowly appeared on the surface of the crystal ball.

【Mental Power: 3.8】

[Physical Fitness: 39]

【Magic Power: 10】

Taylor glanced at the information on the crystal ball, then looked up at Nord.

"Bring me your identification badge."

Nord quickly handed over the nameplate.

Taylor returned the nameplate to him shortly afterward.

"Later, use your mental power to activate the magic circle inside the nameplate. That way, even if it's lost, the academy will still know your identity."

"If someone else finds it, they won't be able to impersonate you."

"As for the college points, they will be automatically transferred to your account every month."

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued with his own business.

Nord took the nameplate and saw that it was no different from the previous one.

There was just one more line of text below the name.

[Level 3 Wizard Apprentice]

He glanced at it and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

From this day forward, he will no longer be a wizard trainee, but a wizard apprentice.

With this identity, many things that were previously inconvenient to do can finally be brought into the open.

Nord hung the nameplate back on his chest, then turned and left the Wizard Tower without lingering, heading towards the Seventh Potions Workshop.

Not long after, he arrived at the potion workshop.

However, he suddenly froze when he entered the workshop.

Professor Dylan was standing there, a gentle smile on his face, quietly watching him.

His appearance suggested that he had been waiting here for a long time.

Carl and Leanna stood behind Professor Dylan.

Nord felt a slight pang in his heart and quickly stepped forward to bow.

"Professor Dylan."

Dylan nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on Nord for a moment.

"Hmm, the mental power model has been successfully constructed."

"From today onwards, you have truly taken your first step on the path of a wizard."

Professor Dylan paused briefly at this point.

Then, he asked in a calm tone:

"With your talent, you were able to construct a mental energy model so quickly. You must have used some unorthodox methods circulating in the academy."

The question sounded like a inquiry, but the emphasis in his tone betrayed a hint of certainty.

Nord's heart stirred, and naturally he wouldn't refute such a matter.

He lowered his head, his expression subtly revealing a hint of nervousness and shame.

"Yes, Professor Dylan."

"I'm so eager to get to know how to actually make potions."

"So... I couldn't resist and tried that method."
