Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

The car had just started moving when Wizard Palo focused his attention on Link, starting his questioning.

It wasn’t just the Serene Wizard who knew some of Link’s habits; both Wizard Palo and Wizard Cody also did.

Their instincts told them that Link likely had some reports he wanted to give but had deliberately taken a detour to find a pretext to do so.

“I’m sorry, Wizard Palo, for not reporting to you in advance.” Link apologised, setting his attitude straight before explaining, “Shortly after the contest started, a trio from the ‘Pure Blood Volition’ came to kill me. I had by then already run into Elise Clark, a first-year student from the North District, and teamed up with her.”

“Wait a minute.”

Serene Wizard interrupted Link, interjecting with a surprised question, “Elise? You teamed up with Elise?”

“Yes.”

Link nodded in confirmation to Serene Wizard’s question, explaining, “She said that her sister is your closest friend and had heard from you about me. She was curious and wanted to team up with me for some fun.”

“So that’s how it is.”

The words brought understanding to the Serene Wizard, allowing her to conjecture the general series of events.

Most likely, Elise had acted recklessly for the sake of amusement and approached Link on her own initiative.

Moreover, Elise must have made use of the Serene Wizard’s name.

Otherwise, given Link’s personality, how would he team up with a stranger from the North District?

Nobody can deny that the image of Elise Clark as a crazy girl had deeply entrenched itself in their minds.

Sensing that Serene Wizard had no further questions, Link continued, “Elise and I worked together to eliminate the trio. When dividing up the spoils, Elise recognised something resembling a ‘Keychain’. She said the object could delay the connection between the body and soul, intimate kill competition’s apprentices through the academy’s emergency protective measures.”

“And then?”

Wizard Palo, deep in thought, understood why Link held such contempt for the ‘Pure Blood Volition’.

“Then, it was Tracey Lucia who followed us, leading six members of’ Pure Blood Volition’. I exploited an unexpected opportunity that I had stumbled upon and killed them.”

Link did not detail all the events but merely highlighted the critical points.

“Hmm.”

Wizard Palo nodded, “No wonder you were so unreserved, daring to insult the Lucia family in front of Zoran Lucia.”

He paused before pointedly saying to Link, “Otherwise, you sly little fox wouldn’t have found such a good chance to bring up this matter.”

“Hehheh…”

Link scratched his head awkwardly, chuckling, “I wasn’t deluding myself into thinking I could fool you. I indeed sought your protection but didn’t knowhow to bring it up, so I resorted to this.”

“Humph, still being sly.”

Wizard Palo pretended to be upset, “I’ve helped you win the bet and done a great favor, yet you’re still seeking my protection?”

“That was my duty and responsibility. I wouldn’t dare to seek here and there just based on small contributions.”

Link promptly clarified his stand.

Everyone knew that Link’s smooth talk was overly flattering and highly insincere.

Yet for some reason, none of them felt annoyed, including the Serene Wizard, who disliked such a speaking style.

“Say your plans now.”

Wizard Palo knew that Link was not impulsive.

If he dared to insult the Lucia family in person just to vent for a moment,

Besides his cultivation and seeking his protection,

He must have other plans to avoid revenge from the Lucia family, especially Zoran Lucia.”

“Without hiding anything from the three wizards, once I return to the academy, I plan to claim all my awards from the competition, and immediately enter the cultivation secret realm.”

Link didn’t conceal anything and directly voiced his thoughts.

“Have you advanced to a third-class wizard apprentice?”

At this point, Serene Wizard scrutinized Link and noticed certain subtle changes, asking surprised, “It’s only been a short time?”

The three wizards met Link before the inter-district competition.

At that time, to their perception, Link was still a second-rank wizard apprentice.

But now, the subtle transformation in his Sea of Consciousness had been completed, proving his recent advancement.

Moreover, in a few days, when Link could fully control the changes, it would be hard to judge from his appearance his realm of cultivation.

A spiritual, power scan will be the only way to assess his realm.

“Hmm…”

Wizard Palo pondered for a moment before responding, “Your intention to reach the peak of third-class wizard apprentice as soon as possible and imprint your destiny witchcraft makes sense.

However, to be promoted to an official wizard isn’t that simple.

Even if you stay in the secret cultivation realm for a month, you will still be a wizard apprentice when you come out.

You should consider other strategies. Prioritizing safety couldn’t hurt.

The protection I can provide is limited, it can’t be flawless.

If Zoran is determined to kill you, you would need to stay within the academy. Don’t even think of leaving the academy until you advance to an official wizard.”

Then Wizard Cody added, “The academy isn’t entirely safe; however, I am sure that Zoran won’t dare to infringe upon the academy’s rules, crossing the academy’s bottom line using an apprentice-tier forces. On this matter, I can assure you.”

As one of the few people with the authority to mobilize the Intelligent Law Enforcement Puppet in the junior division, Wizard Cody has a considerable guarantee.

Given sufficient reason, he could gather a large force of Intelligent Law Enforcement Puppets at any time to defeat the ‘external enemy’ breaking into the academy.

Even if the Lucia family subsequently instigated an investigation against Wizard Cody, he remained unfazed.
