"What?!" the robed witch exclaimed, then, as if remembering something, she immediately took out a pendant and activated it, forming a barrier that enveloped you.

As you remained on guard, the witch lowered her hood, revealing a fair and radiant face, but you sensed a hint of weariness in her eyes.

[It's clear that the witch's youthful appearance doesn't reflect her true age.]

She introduces herself as Grena Angrus, a teacher at the White Stone Garden Wizarding Academy, and asks if you'd be interested in becoming her student.

Whitestone Gardens is a white wizarding academy with a history of millions of years. Its headmistress is a level five wizard, while Grena is a fully-fledged level one wizard.

[If you are willing to be her student, she will devote all her efforts to training you and guarantee that you will become a qualified wizard.]

A formal wizard is the next stage after a wizarding apprentice, and their status is incomparable to that of a wizarding apprentice.

The difference between the two is like that between a wizard's apprentice and an ordinary person—an insurmountable chasm.

You were somewhat surprised, not expecting to be recruited even during the testing phase. It seems you do indeed have considerable talent in wizardry.

However, you still want to compare prices and options, so you should look into different colleges before deciding which one to join.

Sophie is now stunned by your extraordinary talent. You must know that exceptional talent almost guarantees becoming a full-fledged wizard.

Even with exceptional talent, Blackrock City, a place that recruits wizard apprentices, might only produce one a year.

As for exceptional talent, the last recorded instance was over a decade ago.

Sophie, suppressing her surprise, leaned close to you and whispered that she had agreed to Grena's request.

Sophie leaned close to your ear and whispered, "White Stone Gardens is the most powerful of all the wizarding academies that come to Blackrock City to recruit apprentices."

[You hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to agree to Grena's conditions.]

[After all, you know nothing about the wizarding world and don't want to cause too much trouble. Perhaps if you test your talent at a few more academies, you can get better treatment.]

But that would draw too much attention. You're currently undocumented, so it's best to keep a low profile.

Seeing that you had agreed to her conditions, Grena was somewhat excited. She took out a crystal ball and gave it to you, telling you that it was a crystal ball that would help you cultivate the Rune Meditation Technique.

This crystal ball can not only assist wizard apprentices in practicing rune meditation and slightly increase elemental affinity, but it can even help wizards recover their mental strength after battle.

[Sophie looked at the crystal ball in your hand with envy, then looked up at Grena with longing eyes.]

[Grena didn't even glance at Sophie again, and led you directly out of the tent to the back of the square.]

Behind the square, more than a dozen ships of various styles are moored. Grena will lead you to the one in the very center.

You initially thought these ships were just decorative sculptures in the square, but now it seems they are not.

You suspect these ships can fly and serve as transportation for the various wizarding academies.

"This simulation is a bit slow; at this rate, it won't be finished in a day."

Lin Yuan glanced at Su Xiaoli, who was still panting heavily with her tongue lolling out at his feet, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"In future simulations, I'm estimated to live for a very long time each time, perhaps thousands or tens of thousands of years. How long would that simulation take?"

Lin Yuan thought about it carefully: "System, speed up the simulation and only display events at important nodes."

[Simulation under improvement...]

[Improvements complete, simulation continues.]

In your first year, you followed Grena to the Wizarding Academy in White Stone Gardens.

[With a natural 14 points of mental strength, you can construct fourteen wizard runes, directly becoming a first-level wizard apprentice. You choose to construct the Lesser Fireball spell model, the Wizard's Hand spell model, and the Shadow Blend spell model.]

[You have officially become Grena's apprentice, her experimental assistant, and have begun using the gene engine to analyze rune meditation techniques.]

[In the second year, due to the analysis of the Rune Meditation Method, your mental strength reached thirty-two points. This rapid increase in mental strength made you increasingly valued by Grena.]

She recommends Arya Angloss of her family to you, hoping you two can marry. Arya is a highly gifted third-level wizard apprentice.

You rejected Grena's offer, stating that you only sought endless truth and had no interest in matters of the heart.

[Grena regrets your choice, but she agrees with your point of view. She herself did not choose a partner, but only because of family responsibility that she hopes you can have excellent offspring.]

[In the third year, your mental strength reached the standard of a third-level wizard apprentice, but at the same time, you also felt a constraint.]

[Over the past three years, you have studied all the basic courses at the academy, and you understand that this constraint is the obstacle preventing a wizard apprentice from becoming a full-fledged wizard.]

To advance to the level of a full-fledged wizard, one must, during the ascension process, dissolve all their existing spell models and construct a core runic structure using as many runes as possible.

Instead of immediately attempting a breakthrough, you began to contemplate what kind of wizard you wanted to become.

With 91% fire elemental affinity, you should theoretically build a rune construct primarily based on fire elements, but you don't want to become a reckless brute who only knows how to wield fire.

[You actually think shadow elements have more potential. In these three years of research, you've discovered that shadow elements may involve a trace of spatial laws.]

The laws of space are one of the conditions for advancing to the fourth level of wizardry.

You've decided to build your rune construct primarily using shadow elements.

[In the fourth year, your mental strength has increased to 64 points. At this point, you can no longer increase your mental strength even by the slightest bit.]

However, you still have no clue how to use runes to construct the rune construct for shadow elements.

[Professor Grena advises you to go out for a walk; otherwise, staying cooped up in the lab won't help your insights.]

[You heeded your teacher's advice and decided to go to the Darkbone Swamp, the training ground most favored by advanced wizard apprentices.]

[Just then, Sophie found you; she had only recently become a second-level wizard apprentice.]

[Sophie brings you news: a suspected wizard's remains have been discovered near the Ravenridge Mountains.]

She hopes you can take her to explore this historical site.
