Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 34 Trial Location

March 13, 14523 in the Astral Calendar.

There are less than twenty days left until the trial.

Walking through the academy, Pei Ze could clearly feel the sense of urgency permeating the air.

Most of the first-year students I encountered were walking quickly and looked tense.

Just three days ago, the academy finally released some information about the trial.

This includes reward and elimination rules.

Just as Yuan Wanjun said, the top fifty in the trial will receive generous rewards.

The first-place prize is a whopping 5,000 contribution points, plus a chance to enter the Realm of Truth.

Regarding the Secret Realm of Truth, the rumors are a mix of truth and falsehood, and Pei Ze doesn't know much about it. He only knows that even the second-generation witches from prominent families highly praise the Secret Realm of Truth.

Come to think of it, in the wizarding world, nothing that can be called truth is ordinary or mundane.

In stark contrast to the generous rewards are the stringent elimination rules.

The bottom 1,000 apprentices in the trials will be expelled!

As expected, the rule immediately caused a huge uproar among the first-year students.

Many apprentices, feeling inadequate in their abilities, panicked, fearing elimination in the trials, and thus trained even harder.

The entire first grade was filled with a serious atmosphere.

After class, the members of the Celestial Spirit Club gathered together.

Upon meeting, Shao Hong said with a serious expression, "I've inquired, and the trial will be held on a deserted island."

"What are the trial contents?" Pei Ze asked.

He's been busy making potions these days and hasn't been attending classes much, so he's made a point of showing his face today.

Shao Hong shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet. The content of the trial is different every year, and the academy does a very good job of keeping it secret. We only find out the specific content on the day of the trial each year."

He paused for a moment, then pondered, "However, if the trial takes place on a deserted island, we will most likely have to spend some time in the wild. Everyone should prepare in advance. If possible, it is best to prepare a dimensional bag and bring enough food and fresh water."

Upon hearing this, many people immediately wore wry smiles.

A dimensional bag costs over a thousand gold coins. Apart from wealthy second-generation witches like Shao Hong, who can afford it?

Those senior wizard apprentices from ordinary families, which one of them didn't painstakingly save up contribution points for half a year before they could afford a dimensional bag?

Seeing everyone's expressions, Shao Hong thought for a moment and said, "Or we could learn poison detection spells, so we can find food and water on the island."

Yuan Wanjun scratched his cheek and said with a wry smile, "It takes more than half a month to master a new spell. I don't have that much time to waste. I think I'd better bring two bottles of antidote potions instead."

"This is good."

"I agree."

The others chimed in agreement.

With only a few days left before the trial, they couldn't afford to waste their time and energy on a zero-level spell like detecting poison, which offered no benefit to their combat effectiveness.

Instead of wasting time on this, you might as well learn another skill like Fatigue Touch or Flash.

"Desert Island"

Pei Ze's eyes flickered slightly.

It seems he really made the right choice buying that dimensional bag.

"I heard that Yin Guang has already constructed his eleventh Will Rune," Yuan Wanjun said with envy. "At this rate, he'll definitely be able to complete the last Will Rune before the trial."

"Pei Shaoqi is similar; he constructed the No. 11 Will Rune two days earlier than Yin Guang."

"If you ask me, the most impressive one is still Gu Lin," Guan Ling chimed in. "She's already constructed twelve will runes, and her mental strength exceeds 40 points. She has the highest mental strength among all first-year students!"

Pei Shaoqi, Yin Guang, and Gu Lin are the three most recognized apprentices in the first year.

Many people believe that the winner of this year's trial will definitely be one of these three.

"Those three are different from us," Shao Hong said with a sigh. "They are all direct descendants of the five great wizarding families, and they must be practicing advanced meditation techniques. The number 12 Will Rune is not the end for them."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Wanjun, Guan Ling, and the others' expressions immediately became somewhat complicated.

They were considered elites in the eyes of ordinary students, but compared to geniuses like Pei Shaoqi, Yin Guang, and Gu Lin, they were no different from ordinary students.

They started from different points.

"Forget it, I don't want to compete with those three monsters." Yuan Wanjun shook his head and sighed. "I just need to pass the trial. As for Shao Hong and Pei Ze, you two can definitely try to get the rewards."

"That's right!" The others nodded in agreement.

Shao Hong glanced at Pei Ze and said, "I only recently constructed the No. 7 Will Rune, and my strength isn't even in the top fifty among the first-year students. It will be very difficult for me to get the reward."

"But Pei Ze is different; you absolutely can strive to enter the top ten!"

"I'll do my best," Pei Ze smiled noncommittally.

Guan Ling said with a smile, "If Pei Ze makes it into the top ten, then our Star Spirit Society will definitely be number one among the new societies."

Mentioning this brought smiles to everyone's faces.

Many new societies were formed in the first year, but few were truly powerful.

After all, most of the elite apprentices with real talent are absorbed by established societies early on and would never join a new one.

The Star Spirit Society stood out among the many new societies because of the presence of Pei Ze and Shao Hong.

In fact, several established societies had contacted Pei Ze and invited him to join.

However, after careful consideration, Pei Ze declined.

While established societies have a rich history and offer substantial resources for members, joining them also comes with numerous constraints.

Now that he has the potion as a money-making tool, there is no need for him to sacrifice his freedom for a little bit of resources.

After chatting for a while, everyone went their separate ways.

Back at the apartment, Pei Ze first took out pet food to feed Wu Yu before sitting down in the living room.

"Omniscient".

As soon as he had a thought, the attribute data instantly appeared in his mind.

【Spirit 35.93】

[Body Condition 15.72]

[Task 1: Improve the Sleep Spell Model, estimated time 3 days 4 hours 23 minutes]

[Task 2: Improve the Flash spell model, estimated time 16 days, 1 hour, and 9 minutes]

After returning from the black market, Pei Ze was busy refining potions, but he never slacked off in his cultivation.

As his mental attributes improved, his speed in analyzing spells also increased.

These days, analyzing a zero-ring spell only takes three or four days, and that's without consuming mental acceleration.

Therefore, he mastered magic at an astonishing speed, far surpassing that of ordinary wizard apprentices.

To date, he has mastered fourteen zero-ring spells.

In addition to the five modified spells—Mage Hand, Acid Splash, Stun, Plant Aura, and Fatigue Touch—there are also Sleep Spell, Flash Spell, Healing Spell, Light Spell, Detect Poison, Arcane Mark, Lockpicking Spell, Cleansing Spell, and Message Spell.

Among them, Pei Ze plans to continue improving the two combat support spells, Sleep Spell and Flash Spell.

As for the other spells, they are not very helpful in combat; he only learned them for unforeseen circumstances, so he does not plan to improve them for the time being.

At a time when most wizarding apprentices only master two or three spells, Pei Ze, who has mastered a full eleven spells, can already be considered a monster.

What pleased Pei Ze even more was that just yesterday, he finally succeeded in constructing his twelfth Will Rune.

A new month begins, please vote for me!
