Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 111 Future
Tonight, the starry sky is exceptionally deep.

Outside the wooden cabin, a campfire was burning brightly.

Three charcoal-black wooden pillars stood beside the fire, each with an iron pot hanging from it. Thick soup was boiling, and snow-white mushrooms and translucent fish were constantly tumbling, filling the air with an irresistible aroma.

This is a special delicacy from Ketaen's hometown—'Aishi'.

Delia lay on the grass with a bottle of wine in her hand, gazing at the starry sky with hazy, drunken eyes, and began to sing a folk song.

The clear, crisp sound drifted on the air, conveying endless longing and sorrow.

Even though Yaro could speak the 'Yurio language,' the song was mixed with strange local accents, and he could only barely make out that it was a song about a general on an expedition.

Even though Keitan's mouth was full of grease, he still didn't stop.

Yaro held a spoon and slowly sipped the 'Aishi' soup.

But... all good things must come to an end.

Keitan burped repeatedly, finally unable to eat anymore. He sat by the fire with his head down, quietly listening to the drifting songs.

……

As the music ends, the crowd disperses.

After a long silence, Yaro picked up the fruit wine beside him and took a big gulp.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The strange, fiery, bitter taste rushed straight into his throat, causing Yaro to cough repeatedly. Most of the wine was choked out and splashed onto the fire, creating a burst of heat.

pat!

"Little boy, don't waste my good wine," Delia said languidly, her hazy, drunken eyes like peach blossoms, so alluring in the firelight.

Yaro's cheeks flushed slightly, whether from embarrassment or heat, it was hard to tell.

Taking a deep breath, Yaro composed himself and sincerely apologized, "Senior, I'm sorry."

“Yaro, you don’t need to apologize to me,” Delia stretched, revealing her beautiful curves, a glimmer of clarity flashing in her hazy eyes. “The reason I agreed to go into the strange space with you a few days ago was only because you didn’t want to give up. Now that you have a better path and don’t need to take any more risks, I’m relieved.”

Upon hearing this, Yaro couldn't help but smile wryly; he was actually apologizing for something else.

Yaro wanted to tell Desi about his unusual behavior, but he had more worries.

Was Desi being controlled?
Couldn't it have been controlled beforehand?
It's only been a few days since Desi introduced the female knight Narcissus.
Could Narciss's request to enter the depths of the Bloody Forest also be a trap?
If he was controlled from the beginning, then what's the difference between him and Knan Nabi?

If Desi had been controlled long ago, wouldn't Senior Delia have known?
If Senior Delia knew...

Is it better to avoid trouble?
Thinking about how good Delia was to him, Yaro felt even more conflicted and increasingly agitated.

Keita suddenly laughed and said, "Stop talking about that, aren't we having a celebration? Celebrating Senior's successful activation of her mental power, and celebrating Yaro taking on a personal mission and earning a lot of magic stones and contribution points!"

Delia giggled, "Yes, be happy! Look how happy I am!"

Through the firelight, Yaro noticed the flicker in Delia's eyes. She opened and closed them several times, but in the end, she could only say, "Senior, you're drunk."

"Drunk? Good! I haven't dared to get drunk in ages!"

Delia swayed as she stood up and looked up at the vast starry sky.

Do you know how scared I was during those three years?

"If I continue to be unable to sense spiritual power, I will eventually be expelled from the academy and wander around this unfamiliar continent."

"No one will know where I came from, nor where I am going."

"and then?"

"Maybe I'll meet a good person, and then I'll marry him?"

“Perhaps I’ll encounter human traffickers and be sold to…” Delia suddenly stopped, shook her head inexplicably, and said self-deprecatingly, “It’s all in the past, what am I still thinking about?”

"Yaro, now you know how happy I am?"

Delia raised her hands, closed her eyes in bliss, as if to embrace the endless starry sky with her broad embrace.

"This is a new beginning!"

"I must hurry up and make up for the three wasted years!"

Keita asked in confusion, "Senior, what are you planning to do?"

Delia turned her head, her eyes blazing with fire: "I've already submitted the application, and the bloodline will be implanted soon!"

"Only a powerful bloodline can allow my mental strength to grow rapidly, and I will also join the Guardian Army to enter the most dangerous and eerie spaces."

For apprentices who voluntarily join the Guard, the academy distributes mental potions every month, which is indeed the best way to increase their strength.

"Three years!"

"If I die, that will end it all, and I can use my corpse to pay off the academy's debt!"

"If I don't die..."

Delia turned to look at Yaro, revealing her signature smug grin, "I'll definitely become a high-level wizard apprentice before you!"

Are you prepared to take the most rugged shortcut?

Sensing Delia's surging fighting spirit, Yaro inexplicably thought of his friend from his previous life who had applied to join the border army.

He pursed his lips and nodded encouragingly: "Go for it, senior! You can do it!"

Keita also chimed in, "I'm not as smart as Yaro, nor as capable as Senior Sister, but I don't lack contribution points. I just need to find a way to earn magic stones and buy more spirit potions!"

Delia turned her head in surprise and asked, "You don't lack contribution points? What are your ways of earning contribution points?"

“No,” Keita explained, “because my family belongs to the Owl Academy and we contribute points every year to guard the Owls’ territory. In addition, when I came here, I enrolled normally, unlike Yaro, who used contribution points to summon a recruitment ship.”

"Therefore, before becoming an advanced apprentice, I had no limit on contribution points."

Still saying this?

Yaro was slightly taken aback.

No wonder her father also attended Wendell College.

According to this statement, if I were to enter Wendell College, I would also receive some preferential treatment?
That makes sense, though. Since her mother is already causing trouble at Wendell College, she definitely doesn't want her to go there too.

Keita continued, "Starting tomorrow, I'll be living in the mission hall and will specifically choose missions that have a lot of magic stones. With the magic stones, I'll buy spirit potions to accelerate my magic power growth."

"Great!" Delia, feigning a bossy demeanor, patted Keitan on the shoulder with satisfaction, then turned to Yaro and said in a high-spirited tone, "Let's work hard together and strive to become advanced apprentices within three years!"

"Don't take me with you!"

Yaro quickly waved his hand. He knew his own energy aptitude. Before reaching the upper limit of his mental power, his magic power would definitely grow faster than others, but once his mental potential was fully digested, he would return to normal speed.

Unlike Keita and Delia, they are at least of above-average quality.

It's important to know that none of them possessed the exaggerated mental strength of Yaro, yet they were all recruited by the Owl Academy, which suggests that their aptitude wasn't too bad.

Yaro smiled wryly, "Don't drag me into this. If I can become a senior wizard apprentice in six years, that will be enough for me."

The three of them exchanged a glance and inexplicably burst into laughter.

The bonfire under the starry sky is still burning brightly.
