The Wizard: Starting as a Corpse Burial Man - An Infinite Side Hustle

A private laboratory?

Hearing Belles' words, Ansu immediately became a little curious.

So he inquired about the matter the other party had mentioned.

And Bales didn't hide anything.

After all, Ansu, like himself, was a student of Sandru.

Moreover, the other party passed the entrance examination with a dark sun rating.

"A mid-year assessment will be conducted in a few months."

If the results are outstanding enough.

They also receive additional advantages when applying for a spot in the Sea of ​​Origin Truth.

In addition, you can receive extra resource rewards, knowledge rewards...

If certain conditions are met through assessment, one can even obtain their own private laboratory.

And an extremely rich collection of experimental materials.

Bales did not yet have his own laboratory.

But he also knew.

Sandru distinguished himself from other apprentices during his apprenticeship thanks to the help of his private laboratory.

He then applied this extensive knowledge to himself, thus becoming a formal wizard.

"Before the mid-term exams, it's best to acquire as much extraordinary knowledge as possible, and enhance your aptitude for mysticism."

The likelihood of obtaining a private laboratory will also increase.

Moreover, if one obtains the various high-precision alchemy tools and experimental instruments provided by the laboratory.

It will be even more beneficial to your wizarding journey.

"A private laboratory, with corresponding experimental materials?"

Ansu immediately became interested in it.

After all, he possesses the [Entry - Knowledge Aura (Color)].

As long as you keep practicing any subject, you can continuously gain proficiency.

Even with the support of other terms and the [Secondary Profession - Mystic Transcendent], it is even more impressive.

It can also produce additional effects.

Therefore, for Ansu...

If we obtain high-precision experimental instruments, as well as a greater quantity and variety of experimental materials.

This will undoubtedly be of great help.

"The above information regarding the mid-year assessment and the private laboratory is what Mr. Sandru wanted me to convey to you."

besides...

I have another matter to discuss with you.

Belston paused, then continued:

"Junior, are you interested in joining the Rainbow Secret Society?"

From Belles' description, Ansu also learned about the Rainbow Society.

A wizarding apprenticeship society.

However, unlike the [Long-lived Species Research Society], which is mainly composed of elves and does not accept non-long-lived species.

As their name suggests, the main power systems of the members of the Rainbow Society are all related to alchemical pigments.

They either mix alchemical pigments to create "painting-type spell scrolls," or they specialize in crafting alchemical tools related to extraordinary paintings.

【Rainbow Secret Society】has no restrictions.

The main purpose is to exchange resources and knowledge at several fixed trade fairs each month.

Besides.

After participating in the trade fair to prove their ability to create extraordinary items, they can consign resources within the Rainbow Society.

This can be exchanged for Soul Coins, or for resources and knowledge of a specific type.

Bells didn't think Ansu, in its current state, could offer any resources or knowledge at the trade fair.

But he was optimistic about Ansu's talent.

After all, there are tens of millions, or even more, of examinees every year.

Even if you pass the entrance exam for the wizarding academy, you will most likely not receive a rating.

The Dark Sun rating, which sits above the Stars and Blood Moon ratings, has a maximum of one thousand entries.

The resources and knowledge they gain will far exceed those of other apprentices.

In terms of starting point alone, he was ahead of the average apprentice.

The possibility of becoming a formal wizard will also be greatly increased.

That's why Bales chose to win over Ansu at this moment.

...

As Ansu listened to Belles' explanation, he also became interested.

After all, he has the [Profession - Death Artist] attribute [Entry - Cemetery and Gallery (Gold)].

At midnight each day, Ansu can extract the knowledge that each corpse possessed during their lifetime.

Including the flesh golems, the number of corpses of all kinds has reached three digits.

Therefore, Ansu has mastered thousands of types of knowledge to this day.

It also contains a lot of knowledge that contains ether particles, but is of no use to oneself.

Perhaps we could slightly adjust this knowledge.

When the [Rainbow Secret Society] trade fair arrives, you can try to exchange for other knowledge and resources.

Alternatively, you can directly exchange them for Soul Coins.

With that in mind, Ansu agreed to Belles' invitation.

"it is good."

Bells nodded:

"After the start date of the [Rainbow Secret Society] trade fair this month is confirmed."

I'm telling you this in advance.

As he spoke, Bells took off his gloves.

The numerous small tentacles that were originally hidden inside also appeared on the outside.

next moment.

As soon as Bales had a thought, numerous tentacles immediately grew and expanded rapidly.

In the process of constant entanglement, it transformed into a somewhat strange wing.

With the help of these wings, Bells flew toward the nearest portal.

"..."

That's weird.

Ansu had thought that other wizard apprentices might gain the ability to fly through the sky through modification.

But unexpectedly, although Bells also had the ability to fly, he achieved it in this strange way.

"It's probably because Belles wanted to save resources that he didn't grow wings through special modification."

Instead, they chose to expand and deform their tentacles, thereby indirectly gaining the ability to transform into wings.

Ansu speculated.

They then continued to create new types of alchemical pigments.

This is in preparation for the next [painting-type spell scroll].

Furthermore, by mixing pigments and using the free attribute points granted by the [Tomb Guardian Oath], several points of the Mystic attribute were increased.

At the same time, with the help of the "Ether Meditation Method", after my mental strength attribute reaches 10 points.

The course on "Spell Model Construction" is also coming soon.

Ansu immediately suspended what he was doing.

With a thought, particles of holy light immediately surged out from his body.

Then they gathered behind them.

Not long after.

Through continuous gathering and solidification, a wing emitting a faint light was formed.

Ansu flapped its wings and soared into the air.

They then arrived at the portal, which resembled Stonehenge, without any obstacles.

After entering the dark green vortex-shaped portal, he arrived at the teaching area.

Although Ansu still retained his angel wings, he did not attract any attention.

After all, this is the official area of ​​the wizarding academy.

Every living being within sight was either a wizard or a subject of their experiments.

In this context, bloodline modification can be considered commonplace.

The truly outliers are those that exist without any modification whatsoever.

Ansu then maintained its near-ground hovering state.

To avoid colliding with the large number of gargoyles located in mid-air, which are responsible for transporting various experimental materials.

Then they began to walk among the various towers.

Before long, they arrived at a wizard tower with various runes floating on its outer side.

This is the teaching area for the spell model construction course.

Ansu then went straight inside.

Like other wizard towers.

Because the spatial technology in the wizarding world is extremely advanced, and extracting spatial power is not difficult.

Therefore, the interior of this wizard's tower is also a much larger internal space than the outside.

Upon entering, a vast corridor that seemed to stretch endlessly into the distance came into view.

Along both sides of the corridor are massive doors large enough for giants to pass through.

And a variety of wizard apprentices, each with a different appearance and race, coming and going.

Following the information on the teleportation token, Ansu proceeded to the first floor of the Wizard Tower.

It wasn't until several minutes later that I arrived at my classroom.

At the same time, they saw hundreds of wizard apprentices also waiting for their teacher to arrive.

If this were placed in a course on [Artwork-type Spell Scrolls], this number would indeed be quite substantial.

However, if placed on the basis of basic magic courses, which are on par with alchemy, and considering the large number of wizards, this number is not considered a large number.

But Ansu also knew the reason.

"A qualified wizard cannot easily teach all wizarding apprentices who want to learn the same type of course."

Therefore, each occult course is taught by multiple instructors.

They are distributed across multiple areas of the Wizarding Academy.

There are even formal wizards who create clones that can contain souls, or who transform shadows that can share mystical talents into clones.

This allows for the simultaneous teaching of multiple esoteric courses, enabling students in various disciplines to receive the enhanced benefits of esoteric talent...

Ansu recalled the information about the wizarding academy.

Like most wizard apprentices in the teaching area, he began practicing the "Etheric Meditation Method".

At the same time, he also began to practice the "Death Breathing Technique," which he and Hetok had improved together, and whose efficiency in absorbing the aura of the dead had been greatly enhanced.

Although there was no sign of the undead here.

However, Anzu has a bonus from the [Secondary Profession - Mystic Transcendent] to the [Profession - Gravekeeper].

Even without the aura of the undead.

By continuously practicing the "Death Breathing Technique," one can improve their physical attributes.

Furthermore, as proficiency increases, the efficiency of attribute enhancement also increases.

Therefore, in order to enhance all abilities.

Ansu then practiced the "Ether Meditation Method" through his soul while simultaneously practicing the "Death Breathing Method" through his body.

Physical attributes, mental strength attributes, and mystical attributes all began to slowly improve.

A short while later.

Just as Ansu had used this to increase all his attributes by a total of 0.1, he suddenly felt the temperature drop slightly.

Without warning, a faint aura of the dead appeared in the surrounding environment.

It felt like being in a cemetery.

Ansu then subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the teaching area.

Then they saw a fish-man wearing a tattered robe, and the robe and his figure were somewhat translucent.

The moment Ansu saw the other person, a name immediately popped into her mind:

【ghost】
