Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

“Thankyou, Wizard Palo.”

Link seemed sincere in his thanks in the face of the teasing.

One should listen carefully, think much.

Is this teasing?

It’s actually an overt reminder.

It was to inform Link that not only he is trying to make a fortune from the college, but more have been eyeing the research topics related to the Second Ring competition.

Since they’ve chosen to do so, then they should get started early and produce results early.

Wizard Palo waved his hand, indicating that Link shouldn’t be so polite, and asked, “You came to me, there must be more than just this. Tell me the details.” “Indeed, there is still something.”

Link replied, “Half a year has passed. Firstly, I would like to thank Wizard Palo for the funding back then. Secondly, I am here to return the laboratory.” As he spoke, Link rose from his chair, bowed formally in gratitude.

Then he places the access card with both hands on the desk, sliding it towards Wizard Palo.

“Hmm.”

Wizard Palo picked up the access card, put it in the drawer, and said, “You won the first prize in the Second Ring competition, and the college rewarded you with a year’s use of a large laboratory, so indeed, you no longer need that lab.” With that, Wizard Palo pulled something from the drawer and placed it before Link:

You helped me win the bet, so there must be a reward. This Second Ring Defense Magic Tool was used by me when I was young. I hope you don’t mind.” When the elder gives, one cannot refuse.

Furthermore, this is a Second Ring Defense Magic Tool, it is for safety, how could one possibly refuse?

Link is also facing threats from the Lucia’s Family.

He doesn’t even need to be polite, just accept it honestly.

To avoid appearing too hypocritical.

“Thankyou, Wizard Palo.”

Link immediately thanked, at the same time, he picked up the Second Ring Defense Magic Tool without shyness, put it in his pocket, and then boasted, “Wizard Palo is generous, it’s my honor to work for Wizard Palo.”

“Alright, stop the flattery.”

Wizard Palo stopped Link’s flattery, “Having the heart to be conscientious in doing things rather than shouting slogans like Lanny Taylor that resonate from the rooftops and then only rank eighth.”

Frankly, an eighth-place finish is definitely not bad.

If Lanny Taylor hadn’ t been too distracted by Link, she could very likely have made it into the top five, or even the top three.

Regrettably, there are no if’s.

Link did not take the opportunity to “attack” Lanny Taylor along with Wizard Palo, but rather answered with silence.

Don’t talk about people behind their backs.

Moreover, the more one speaks the more likely one is to make a mistake. Who knows if Wizard Palo will consider those who talk too much dislikeable? Wizard Palo was just speaking with emotion, not deliberately belittling Lanny Taylor.

He is in the metamorphosis period of getting promoted to sage. Most of the time, he acts instinctively, instead of rational restrain, he doesn’t think much about the consequences.

He says what he wants.

To prevent the atmosphere from getting awkward between the two,

Link took the initiative to change the subject, “{Wizard Palo, I have to consult one more thing with you.”

“Go ahead.”

Wizard Palo raised his chin.

After the competition, three friends who experienced some events with me are intending to join my team. You know the academy rules, a team of 10 or more must apply to register. Therefore…”

Link finished it off awkwardly without completing his sentence.

In reality, applying to register an apprentice organization is just Link’s freedom.

He can be seen as a small soldier in the camp of Wizard Palo,

But he hasn’t joined the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association” established by Wizard Palo,

By registering an apprentice organization, he wasn’t starting another business and certainly not betraying.

The Social Phobia Group was actually fine.

They were all free people who had never joined any apprentice organization.

They had clear backgrounds.

The problem is Jasmine and the Brotherhood Group.

They both have joined the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association”.

Though for various reasons, they both declared their retirement, but in process, they were not officially approved.

Moreover, Witch Ayla once tried to lure Jasmine back.

The Brotherhood Group also occasionally receives event invitations.

It s a minor issue, no need to worry.¹¹

Wizard Palo knew what Link was considering and gave him a concealed response, “In the coming half year, not just my ‘New Blood Mutual Aid Association’, even Peter’s ‘Pure Blood Volition’ would also be dissolved.”

Link seemed pensive and tentatively asked, “So, after the promotion to sage, you can’t manage the internal affairs of the academy?”

That’s not what you should be worrying about now.”

Wizard Palo grinned again, implying that “A moment of speed does not imply constant speed. It is more secure to take steady steps and gradually move up. This is how you will go further.”

What does this sentence mean?

It is guiding Link.

Don’t think that by having one or two secrets or opportunities, you could rapidly promote during the Wizard Apprentice stage and continue to do so upon reaching the Official Wizard Level.

If you want to go further, you must have a solid foundation!

IIJ II

Link opened his mouth, tried to explain that he’s just a bit curious for now.

And he’s not aiming too high.

Wizard Palo raised his right hand and stopped Link from speaking, “There are things that can be said but not done; there are things that can be done but not said. Understand?”

Perhaps due to the imminent departure from the Wizard World and the near arrival of the days to explore the heavens,

Or perhaps because the metamorphosis period is in its final stage and he’s becoming more emotional, Wizard Palo has repeatedly given tips and advice today.

Implicitly told Link, he and the Serene Wizard, Wizard Cody didn’t care if Link had secrets or opportunities, nor did they covet them.
