Wizard: I can predict the future

the next day.

Nord frowned as he looked at the message on the crystal ball.

This is the application for the Magic Plant Garden that he submitted two months ago.

However, the application was rejected at this point.

According to normal procedures, even if site environment needs to be assessed, a month is enough time, and it will not take this long at all.

Nord remained silent for a moment, then left the central stone building and headed towards the Pharmacist Association.

Coincidentally, he was also planning to submit an application for human experimentation to the association, and while he was at it, he asked Wizard Rory why the Magic Plant Garden had been rejected.

The Pharmacists Association remained as empty and quiet as ever.

Nord quickly found the wizard Rory.

Rory was currently processing the documents on his desk.

When Nord came in, he looked up and glanced at him.

"Did you apply for this because of the Magic Plant Garden?"

Nord nodded.

"Yes, I'd like to know the reason for the refusal."

Rory put down his notebook.

"It's really good that anyone in the academy can submit an application for the Magic Plant Garden, as long as they have a suitable position."

"But do you know what kind of people usually submit applications?"

Nord looked at Rory and shook his head.

Rory chuckled softly.

"At the very least, a first-level wizard apprentice."

"You're the first person like me to apply for an independent magic plantation as a third-level wizard apprentice."

He paused, then continued:

"If it weren't for the fact that the applicant was you, Nord Blank, the application would probably have been rejected the very day it was submitted."

"So the association held a small meeting specifically for you."

"Many people believe you have a great talent for potions and that your development should not be limited."

Of course, there are some things Rory won't mention.

If it weren't for Dylan Flynn standing behind Nord, many in the association wouldn't even have seriously discussed this application.

After all, it was somewhat against the rules for a level three wizard apprentice to apply for a magic plantation.

Rory looked up at Nord.

"Originally, this application had a chance of being approved."

"Even if we can't directly approve the lowest-level magic plant garden, we can at least approve a small experimental greenhouse with no dangerous magical plants."

"However, Seville Crocker was the first to object."

His reasoning was simple.

"While your talent for potion-making is commendable, cultivating magical plants is quite different from potion cultivation, and can even be considered dangerous."

"If the magical plant mutates during breeding and causes a riot, you, as a level three wizard apprentice, may not be able to suppress the riot."

Nord's expression remained unchanged, only his eyes darkened slightly.

The Crook family.

It's the Crook family again.

But what puzzled him was...

Sauron was just a teenager, so it's understandable that he was immature.

It's understandable that he was embarrassed in class, given his youthful nature and inability to swallow his pride and retaliate.

But members of the Apothecary Guild are all formal wizards.

Logically speaking, at the level of a formal wizard, one's vision, interests, and patience should not be so shallow.

Even though the Echoing Glow potion severely impacted the interests of the Crook family, was it really worth it for him to target a wizard apprentice like this?

He might even be an apprentice favored by Vice Dean Dylan.

Nord couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

However, he became more wary of the Krok family and more eager to improve his strength.

After a moment, he slowly spoke.

"Wizard Rory, I understand."

Seeing that Nord showed no anger, Rory nodded calmly.

"Compared to the students the academy recruits in the Southern Region, I prefer students like you with rich experience."

"If they were in this situation, they would probably be blinded by anger and even think about confronting Seville face to face."

He chuckled softly as he spoke.

"But does this make any sense?"

"In the wizarding world, rules, interests, and strength are the three things that determine the final outcome of an event."

"And among these, strength ranks first."

"Many apprentices often suffer greatly before they can understand this."

Rory looked at Nord, his tone calm.

"Therefore, you must hurry up and improve your strength. Once you become a first-level wizard apprentice, even Seville will not be able to stop you."

"After all, his strength is not enough to override the academy's rules."

Nord nodded slightly.

"I see."

A hint of satisfaction appeared in Rory's eyes.

"Good that you understand."

After he finished speaking, he began to organize the documents on the table again.

Seeing that Nord hadn't left, he asked curiously:

"Is there anything else?"

Nord nodded and then took out another set of organized documents.

"I've been researching the Frostblood lineage recently and have made some progress."

"Therefore, I would like to consult the association about the specific procedures for applying for human trials."

As he spoke, he gave a general account of the recent experiment.

Upon hearing this, Rory frowned slightly.

"Nord, you must understand that the Five Academies Alliance now has extremely strict regulations on human experimentation."

"Even though our Ash Academy is somewhat special, we can't go too far on the surface."

He looked at Nord, his tone becoming more serious.

"Especially experiments involving wizard apprentices."

"Any experiment that could lead to mental impairment or endanger life must undergo an extremely complicated approval process."

"This is quite different from your previous drug testing."

Nord realized Rory's misunderstanding and immediately explained:

"Wizard Rory, you've misunderstood."

"I have no plans to use wizard apprentices as test subjects for the time being."

"What I need are some legendary knights."

Rory's expression shifted slightly.

Nord continued:

"To be precise, they are those legendary knights who could not see the road ahead but still wanted to keep moving forward."

"My experiment will open up further possibilities for him. I believe some legendary knights will be willing to try."

"Moreover, before I officially proceed with this step, I will conduct a sufficient number of preliminary experiments on humanoid races such as the Grey Ears."

"I will only consider entering the legendary knight stage experiment after I have increased the success rate to over 99% on the Grey Ear Clan and ensured that it will not cause irreversible physical collapse."

Rory did not speak.

Instead, he opened the documents Nord had handed him.

Looking at the densely packed experimental records, his expression gradually became serious.

Looking at Rory's expression, Nord couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

In the current experiment, he does not intend to consume source point deduction.

It's not that I'm afraid of wasting money.

If someone dies during the simulation, it's not a big problem.

After all, death in a simulation only preserves the experience within the simulation; nothing else is reflected in reality.

What he was really worried about was that the experiment was only half successful.

The most troublesome situation is when the power of bloodline fails to fully integrate into the physical body, and instead of completely losing control and dying, it gets stuck in some kind of distorted state.

This is not alarmist.

Many members of the bloodline wizard race have appearances that are completely different from ordinary people.

Some were deliberately left behind to preserve greater strength, while others were left behind due to insufficient understanding or incomplete experiments.

Even in Nord's own experiments, there were instances of Grey Ears developing a deformed claw on their abdomen.

But right now, he has no intention of being inhuman.
