Wizards begin with Occlumency.

The second extracurricular activity ended amidst laughter.

Just as Link completed the concept of the fire elemental foundation of the "small world" and casually acquired a giant fire salamander, Jasmine also obtained some good things from that planet completely covered by water.

After all that hard work, we can't go home empty-handed, right?

Link didn't ask Jasmine about her specific gains; he only knew that her strength had improved to some extent, and that was enough.

Once the two returned to the villa, they stopped thinking about extracurricular activities.

In itself, extracurricular practice is just a small test used by the academy to assess the knowledge and witchcraft learned by the wizards.

The nature of these tests is no different from weekly tests, monthly tests, or midterm/final exams.

The exam is over, that's it. There's nothing to worry about.

After all that, both of them were physically and mentally exhausted.

After the meal, we chatted for a while over some tea before returning to our rooms to wash up, meditate, and rest.

The next day.

As usual, the two got up early.

Even though the academy thoughtfully gave all the wizards a day off.

Including the weekend, there are a total of three days off, which you can use as you please without having to attend classes and can rest peacefully.

but……

rest?

What is rest?

As long as people live, learning will never stop!

Jasmine said she didn't need to rest and immediately plunged into her own laboratory, busy with her research and experiments.

Rivoss Academy initially only trained elemental wizards with a focus on biology and medicine, but later expanded its training to include combat and warfare.

Having grown to a certain size, the academy, for various reasons, incorporated the training of True Spirit Wizards into its advanced academy training system, starting from the advanced academy stage, while also training elemental wizards. Furthermore, it encouraged some talented individuals to switch to mechanical wizarding.

In addition, they also collected relevant knowledge and witchcraft about body-refining wizards through various channels for those who wish to switch to this path to learn.

This ensures that the wizards trained by the academy are not monotonous or limited;

This resulted in the academy's legions being well-equipped and their combat power being enhanced.

However, the academy's knowledge base is severely lacking in the area of ​​beast taming wizards, with only a portion of the content below the sage level.

While these contents are not so incomplete as to be riddled with errors, they are far from complete and lack any coherent system.

If Jasmine wants to go far and achieve success as a beast tamer, in addition to collecting and purchasing relevant information and literature, she must rely more on her own research and experiments.

Not to mention the academy and other people, even if Link wanted to offer help, he couldn't get involved.

The professional scope is too broad, and there are significant knowledge barriers.

Fortunately, the college has an extremely rich knowledge base in the field of biology.

Although most of them cannot be directly used in the field of beast taming, having a foundation allows for better expansion.

Jasmine conducted her own research and experiments, so she wouldn't be without references.

Link hasn't paid attention to the "Construct" project for over a week.

Now that I have some time, I should definitely go to the fairy world to check on the progress and fulfill my duties.

On behalf of the Sage Serin's Pharmacy Teaching and Research Group, an application was submitted to the academy to use the interdimensional teleportation portal.

After receiving permission, Link arrived in the fairy world through official channels and approached the "Construct" project team, which was jointly formed by the Medical Department and the Pharmacy Department.

What a coincidence! Sage Paro and Sage Seren are also here, about to inspect the results of the first phase.

Link hadn't communicated with Sage Celine beforehand, so he really didn't know she would be coming today!

Or rather, no one knew that Sage Paro would invite Sage Serene today, ostensibly to assess the results of the first phase, but in reality to bring the two closer together.

"You've come at the perfect time."

When Sage Paro saw Link approaching, he immediately beckoned, "Come over and analyze the data to see if it meets your expectations."

Link approached, first politely greeting Sage Seren and Sage Paro, then nodding to the accompanying Wizard Salosar and old man Murphy before getting down to business.

On the large screen of the "Construction" project team's office computer, various data reports and numerous test/comparison videos from the first phase are neatly displayed.

Temporarily setting aside the nearly 6000 videos, Link opened all the data reports one by one and spent more than half an hour carefully reviewing them.

During the visit, Sage Paro warmly entertained Sage Serene with tea and conversation, reminiscing about the past in an attempt to evoke Serene's emotions.

Wizard Salosar and old man Murphy dared not loiter in front of Sage Paro at this time, so even though they were bored, they stayed with Link the whole time to check the data.

After reviewing all the data reports, Link selected a few dozen representative videos from nearly 6000 videos, quickly skimmed through them, and compared them with his initial judgment.

"How did it go? Are you satisfied?"

When Murphy saw that Link had stopped what he was doing, no longer looking at the reports and videos, and no longer deep in thought, he immediately asked him a question.

They were even more proactive than the wizard Salosar.

Wizard Salosar glared at old man Murphy, somewhat displeased.

Who exactly is the Minister of Health and the head of the "Construction" project team?

How dare you interrupt me like that?

This is outrageous!

Ignoring the resentful wizard Salosaar, old Murphy stared intently at Link, awaiting his reply.

"Excellent, even beyond my expectations, much better than anticipated!"

Link didn't keep them in suspense and directly stated his conclusion.

"Based on data analysis from various aspects, the overall improvement in combat power is 269.78%, which is quite astonishing."

A level 1 transcendent fairy, after being equipped with the "Savage Strike" set, can completely rival a level 2 transcendent fairy that has not undergone "Ascension", "Empowerment", or "Construction".

This is still a one-on-one result.

In large-scale battles, with group charges, their performance would likely be even more outstanding.

"If you think so too, then that's settled!"

Old man Murphy breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted from his shoulders.

The wizard Salosar sensed something was very wrong.

The medical department is clearly the main force behind the "construction" project, so why does old man Murphy always steal the show?

No, this bad trend must be criticized.

With a quick glance, the wizard Salosar chuckled:

"Actually, our medical department made a similar judgment to yours a long time ago. However, considering that you are the founder of the 'Construction' technology, the chief designer and special consultant of the 'Construction' project, we are just waiting for you to make a final decision."

Now that you've confirmed our medical department's assessment, in my opinion, it's time to consider the timing of the second phase.

This statement sounds like self-praise, but it doesn't contain any boasting about the medical department; it's all the truth.

It's just analyzing data; it's the most basic skill. What professional wizard doesn't know it?

Not to mention that there were two sages present.

The reason why the Sage Paro asked Link to analyze the data and determine whether his expectations had been met was not because Link was particularly good at analyzing data.

There are two reasons:

Firstly, they wanted to take this opportunity to extend the time that Sage Celine stayed in the fairy world, so they could spend more time together;

Secondly, because Link is the founder and chief designer, he has the best understanding of "construction" technology.

"Great minds think alike."

Link smiled upon hearing this, not minding to play along and praise the medical department for being a rare exception.

Old man Murphy pretended not to realize that the "hero" Link referred to was the pharmacist in the medical department, and immediately chimed in, "That's right, my pharmacy department really put in a lot of effort this time..."

But before old man Murphy could finish his self-praise, Sage Celine walked over, interrupted him, and softly asked Link, "When do you think would be a suitable time to start the second phase of the project?"

Sage Paro also walked to Sage Serene's side, quietly looking at Link, waiting for a reply.

Link pondered for a moment, then replied:

"I don't think we need to rush to start Phase 2."

Although this data has been obtained through meticulous testing and comparison, the "construct" fairy has not yet been tested in actual combat.

I think it would be more appropriate to find an opportunity to fight a few small- or medium-sized battles to test the actual combat capabilities before advancing to the second phase.

At that time, improvements or optimizations can be made based on performance in actual combat.

Sage Seren did not comment on Link's idea, but instead looked at Sage Paro.

The Pharmacy Teaching and Research Group is merely the proposer of the "assembly" technology and its partners in the "assembly" project, and their role is simply to provide technical output.

The movements of the Paro Sage Legion, especially those involving troop movements, must be decided by the Paro Sages themselves.

A sense of boundaries is important.

"Sure, no problem."

Sage Paro nodded in affirmation as he met Sage Serene's inquiring gaze.

Link's idea is quite practical and not reckless, which is in line with the plan of the Sage Paro.

Just a few days ago, the legion received an order from the academy to transfer some servants from the fairy world to other legions.

It is perfectly normal for servants of different races/professions from different worlds to be drawn from each other.

The Palo Sage Legion also has many servants from other worlds and other races/classes.

This is a good opportunity to conduct a real-world test.

Sage Paro decided that the servants to be transferred would be composed of fairies who had received the "Construct" project and fairies who had not received any project.

Half of each, for comparison.

Having made their decision, the Sages Paro and Celine did not linger and left together.

The second phase of the plan is not in a hurry to start. The "Construction" project team, including the Medical Department, the Pharmacy Department, and the Pharmacy Teaching and Research Group represented by Link and Renee, cannot be idle and also have other things to do.

From the start of the project until now, a summary of each stage and aspect needs to be made.

The knowledge system of "construction" needs to be reviewed again;

Some technical details require a new, focused training session.

Etc., etc.

Link will spend most of his three-day vacation on the "Construct" project.

After careful consideration, Link informed Wizard Salosar and Old Man Murphy, instructing them to first organize their respective medical and pharmacy staff to conduct self-summaries and departmental reviews.

Then, tomorrow morning, we will hold a general debriefing meeting.

Link himself copied a data report and video, took it back to the academy headquarters, and worked overtime to organize the "Construct" knowledge system.

Streamline where necessary, expand where necessary, and add where necessary.

In short, it can be summed up in one word: busy.

I was busy until Sunday evening, and finally finished all the work for this phase of the "construction" project.

You reap what you sow.

Although the intense work brought both mental and physical fatigue, the rewards were also enormous.

The "Construction" knowledge system has now taken initial shape.

Both the apprenticeship and the formal wizard stages have corresponding, relatively well-designed systems.

The wizard apprenticeship stage mainly involves implanting individual "constructs".

A first-class wizard apprentice's physical and spiritual combined capacity can support 1 to 3 individual "constructs";

The combined physical and spiritual capacity of a second-class wizard apprentice can support 3 to 5 individual "constructs";

The combined physical and spiritual capacity of a third-class wizard apprentice can support 6 to 10 individual "constructs".

However, considering the development potential, it would be possible to allow the individual pieces implanted in the early stages to be assembled into a set similar to "Savage Strike" later on.

Therefore, we cannot arbitrarily implant individual components, which would waste implantation attempts and consume overall load-bearing capacity.

Instead, specific individual items should be selectively and pre-planned for implantation.

Link made theoretical estimations based on existing data and found that:

A third-class wizard apprentice, if he develops his overall capacity to the maximum, can implant two sets of magic equivalent to a level 1 spell.

What does this mean?

This means that if Link's "construct" technology matures further and can be widely promoted, countless wizard apprentices who crave immediate combat power will choose to implant "constructs"!

Think about those zero-ring spells whose attack and defense power can't even compare to a level 1 wizard's weapon.

This shows that Link's guess was not far off.

However, after reaching this conclusion, Link felt uneasy.

This is only an advancement at the wizard apprentice stage.

When they reached the formal wizard stage, it became even more exaggerated.

Preliminary estimate:

A level 1 wizard can implant 2 to 3 sets of equipment with effects equivalent to level 2 wizardry;

A level 2 wizard can implant 4 to 6 sets of equipment with effects equivalent to level 3 wizardry;

三级巫师可以植入8到12个效果等同于3环巫术的套装，或者，1到2个效果等同于4环巫术的套装。

The reason we can now deduce that a level 3 wizard can implant a set of magic with effects equivalent to level 4 spells is because this concept didn't exist before.

It's because Link hadn't grasped any of the rules before today!

In the early hours of this morning, I entered a wondrous meditative state by practicing the "Brain Lockdown Technique," which can be performed once every 96 hours, and sensed the operating rules of the "Solar System," the microcosm of my consciousness.

Link successfully grasped a trace of the rules of one of the four fundamental forces of the universe, gravity.

And he was inspired to create a related fourth-circle sorcery.

Link was able to make this deduction only after gaining a relatively clear and intuitive understanding of fourth-circle sorcery.

Looking at the deduction he had just made, Link felt a little lost.

He even repeated the data extrapolation several times until he determined that every extrapolation using different models would yield the same result.

Only then did I dare to believe my own deduction.

"Tsk..."

Slurping his words, Link didn't know how to express his feelings at that moment.

The "construct" thing seems to have gone a bit astray, and gotten a little too big of a deal!

Even if Link was ambitious at the time, aiming to create a completely new school of wizardry by perfecting the "construct" technology and knowledge system.

He never expected that "Construct" could actually give a level 3 wizard the power of a sage for a short time without the aid of a large magical artifact!

"Should I celebrate, or should I be worried?"

Link muttered to himself.

After a moment's thought, Link decided to pass the buck and urgently contacted Sage Celine, arranging to meet her in her office in the laboratory building.

"Jasmine, I have to go out urgently."

Before leaving, Link informed Jasmine, who had just returned to the villa, and then hurriedly departed.

Jasmine glanced at Link's departing figure, then turned and went into the restaurant to prepare dinner.

The top-floor office of the Pharmaceutics Teaching and Research Group's laboratory building.

"Why are you in such a hurry to find me? What serious incident has happened?"

When Sage Celine saw Link walk into her office, she asked him directly.

"event."

Link handed over his personal smart device.

The screen displayed Link's multiple calculations and the results.

"Well……"

Sage Celine quickly read through the entire document and asked in surprise, "How likely do you estimate that this deduction is actually true?"

"More than 60%"

Link gave a rather conservative estimate.

In fact, Link believes the probability is at least 80%.

However, when it comes to fourth-circle sorcery, Link chose to play it safe and refrained from making any bold statements.

Is there a way to verify this?

Sage Celine pondered for a moment, then spoke up again to ask.

Now that Link has contacted the sage Celine, he naturally has a way to verify it.

However, given Link's current status and position, this method may not be able to be implemented.

He said, "There is a way, but it's rather complicated."

"What method? What trouble?"

Sage Celine pressed for an answer.

"Let me transform a 4th-circle sorcery spell into a 'Construct' 4th-circle set of armor."

Link spoke his mind.

Upon hearing this, Sage Celine looked at Link with surprise in her eyes.

Link met Sage Celine's gaze calmly, nodding slightly but firmly, confirming her guess.

He can now indeed learn fourth-circle magic, which is only mastered by fourth-level sages or third-level wizards in the process of transformation.

Do you know what you're saying?

Sage Celine was still somewhat incredulous.

"Know."

Link nodded again.

"I see!"

Sage Celine let out a sigh that was difficult to decipher, leaned back, and closed her eyes.

On the surface, they can maintain a calm demeanor, but in their hearts, a raging storm is brewing!

She was certain that Link Grand's current mental energy fluctuations and nature were still within the scope of a level two wizard.

It's one thing for his combat strength to be comparable to a level three wizard, after all, the secret that Link possesses a "small world" has already been widely spread.

However, being able to learn 4th-circle sorcery is just too outrageous.

Let alone the transformation period, even a level two wizard who is not even a level three wizard can actually comprehend a trace of the rules.

Sage Celine searched through all the history of the wizarding world she knew and found only a few similar secrets.

The protagonists of these secret stories are either saints or great sages of the ninth level!

Doesn't this mean that Link Grand has the appearance of a saint?

Compared to the fact that "construction" technology can give a level 3 wizard the combat power of a sage in a short period of time, this is truly shocking, okay?

Do you know what you're saying?

Opening her eyes, Sage Celine forced herself to regain her composure, staring intently into Link's eyes, and solemnly emphasized, "Do you know what it means that a second-level wizard can comprehend a trace of the rules and learn fourth-circle sorcery containing a portion of the power of those rules?"

Link was taken aback.

The darkest place is under the lamp!

This is what happens when you're in the dark!

His mind was completely focused on "constructs" before, and he hadn't given this idea much thought.

Only after hearing Sage Celine's reminder did he realize what was happening.

屮!

He cursed inwardly, not knowing what to say about himself.

Even if you've already decided not to play dumb to fool others, you should still show your special qualities when necessary.

However, this is not the way to reveal it.

Fortunately, it was Sage Celine who first discovered this, not anyone else.

For example, Soren Lucia, Peter Lionel, Lissandra Diormand...

"I see."

Link, who was also forcibly trying to remain calm, could only answer Sage Celine in this way.

"You should contact Dean Forrest yourself and tell him about this. I won't get involved."

Sage Celine, somewhat weary, waved her hand, dismissing them, but made a promise at the same time, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this, including Paro. As for the possibility that 'Constructs' can theoretically make a level 3 wizard's implanted effect equivalent to a level 4 wizarding set, announce to the public that it was my discovery, understand?"

"Understood, thank you, Wizard Celine."

Link was grateful for Sage Celine's attempt to "steal the credit."

Meanwhile, Link intends to take the advice of the sage Natherine.

In this world where power resides within oneself, many unspoken secrets may be revealed to others.

What's more, it's something that's already been said aloud?

There are always many unexpected ways, such as inexplicable premonitions, voices that no one else can hear, or mysterious prophecies, that can spread spoken secrets.

Since things have come to this, Link can't be an ostrich burying its head in the sand; instead, he needs to find a way to minimize the impact of the potential leak.

Seeking refuge with the head of their own faction, Dean Forrest, is clearly the best option.

"Just call me 'sister' from now on. There's no need to be so formal; it makes us seem distant."

Sage Serenity looked at Link as he got up and walked out, and suddenly said this.

"Yes, sister."

Link readily agreed, immediately turned around and called out, then walked out of the office.

"Tsk! None of them are easy to deal with."

Sage Celine sighed, found all the surveillance footage in the office, and deleted both the original files and the local backups.

Completely delete it, the kind that can't be repaired.

As a well-known pharmacist, it's perfectly reasonable for him to install surveillance cameras in his office.

If a theft occurs, at least there will be some evidence, right?

Upon leaving the laboratory building, Link immediately took out the encrypted cross-domain communicator and sent a communication request to Dean Forrest.

Before the communication could even be established, an irresistible force was applied to Link.

The world changed in the blink of an eye.

Link vanished from the spot. (End of Chapter)
