Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 117 Secondary Substitute Puppet
Wizard Bosco thought to himself, "Could it be... something I learned before?"

"No, he only sensed his spiritual power while he was in the academy. If he had started learning magic before sensing his own spiritual power, his already scattered spiritual power would have continued to emit strange energy fluctuations, which would have inevitably attracted the attention of a powerful and eerie entity."

Just like the three powerful figures, the 'Three Spirits', whom Yaro once relied on, countless other powerful and mysterious beings whose power has been borrowed for a long time are all frantically searching for these exploitative beings.

If one does not perceive and restrain one's own spiritual power, this scattered spiritual power will drift into various other dimensions.

This is one of the main reasons why the theory of 'not knowing means not existing' exists.

Unbeknownst to many, spiritual energy is like grains of sand scattered by the wind, freely flowing into different alternate dimensions, forming the foundation for the existence of many alternate dimensions.

Knowing that the mental energy that is already uncontrollable will subconsciously flow into a specific alternate dimension, it will be easier to perceive this alternate dimension.

I don't know, but having learned the knowledge of wizarding magic, the scattered spiritual energy will carry the 'foul stench of wizards' and be actively sought out by the angry and powerful eerie entity.

Bosco, a man weathered by time, is not afraid to speculate about people's hearts with the worst possible intentions.

Bosco calmly observed the boy in front of him.

"Could it be... that someone deliberately trained this person just to get close to me?"

For any problem, once you identify it, you can naturally find a solution.

Bosco could come up with many similar methods.

"So... the two plans he proposed earlier were also memorized beforehand?"

Just as Yaro developed doubts about Desi and distanced himself from Delia, the wizard Box, upon developing doubts, would naturally question Yaro's past actions.

The difference is that Yaro chose to stay away because he lacked strength and had too little ability to withstand risks.

Bosco made a different choice; he chose to seek the truth.

This kind of certification cannot be done with simple optical knowledge, because if Yarrow could memorize such a difficult experimental procedure, then memorizing some simple optical knowledge would not be a problem.

……

Yaro, unaware of the many connections Bosco had already made, quickly offered his explanation: "I don't know why, but looking at this magic trick, it seemed so simple. I just tried it out and learned it."

To borrow a phrase from my past life, it's like saying, 'You don't understand the world of geniuses.'

"You learned it just by trying it out casually?"

Bosco frowned slightly, feigning displeasure, and said, "You are showing contempt for knowledge!"

If no one taught Yaro those experimental procedures, then Yaro would be an unparalleled genius, one in a million.

Such a genius, if he also possesses extraordinary ability to learn magical techniques.

Then, Yarrow's future will be unimaginable.

Faced with such a potential genius, Bosco dared not lose his temper, lest he provoke Yaro's rebellious spirit. Therefore, he could only rely on a few loopholes in Yaro's words to seize the opportunity to launch an attack.

"I'll give you a level one magic trick for free, consider it a reward."

"However, you must learn this magic trick within one day!"

“If you haven’t learned it…” Bosco chuckled lightly, as if making a joke, “I will punish you for your arrogant remarks.”

Another reason why Bosco was willing to tolerate it despite his doubts was that even though Yaro had memorized all that knowledge and had learned the heat-melting technique beforehand, Yaro, who could do that, could be considered an ordinary genius.

Bosco always had great patience with geniuses.

"A first-class magic trick?" Yarrow was slightly taken aback and asked curiously, "What kind of magic trick is it?"

With three skill points remaining, Yaro wasn't worried about this test. He just wanted to know if the trick he was about to get for free could improve his combat system and whether it was worth the cost of a skill point.

Seeing that Yaro was completely unconcerned about the so-called 'one day' limitation and instead focused on the trick he was about to acquire, Bosco's heart began to tip in his favor. "What kind of trick do you want?" Bosco asked Yaro, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Yaro was the one he was asking.

Upon hearing this, Yarrow began to ponder.

In terms of movement, there is the 'Instantaneous Movement Technique'.

In terms of damage, there is the 'Fiery Sword Technique'.

In terms of dodging, there are 'Fog Body Technique' and 'Cat Climbing Tree'.

In terms of perception, there is the 'cat running'.

In terms of control, there is the 'Solar Fist'.

For recovery, there is the 'Knight's Breathing Technique'.

But in every aspect, his abilities are not strong enough. You could say that Yaro lacks everything, yet he lacks nothing at all.

So... what kind of magic tricks am I still missing?

Yaro thought for a long time but couldn't come to a conclusion, so he simply looked up and asked, "Master, is there any magic trick to save your life?"

You only have one life; only by living can you have a future!

Yarrow firmly believed in this idea.

A life-saving trick?

Bosco was dumbfounded. How could someone with only a first-level magic trick possibly have the ability to save their life?
He was about to speak when he suddenly thought that if Yaro could really learn magic in a day, then for such a genius, the most important thing would be to survive.

It is only right to pay this kind of price for such a genius.

Only living geniuses are true geniuses; the dead are merely useless corpses.

Thinking this, Bosco changed the subject: "I don't have any life-saving tricks, but I do have something to save my life. However, if you want to use this thing, you have to learn a trick first."

Yaro asked excitedly, "What kind of magic trick?"

Bosco said, "Abyss Contract."

"Abyss Contract Technique?" Yaro frowned slightly.

The Abyss Contract spell, as its name suggests, borrows the power of the abyss. But the power of the abyss is not so easily borrowed; apart from abyss warlocks, only a few powerful, formal wizards dare to do so.

“Yes,” Box nodded. “Once you’ve learned it, use it in front of me. My abode is enough to protect you. But after that, until you become a full-fledged wizard, you can’t use this trick, or you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”

Use one skill point to learn a trick you can't use?
Since you can't even use magic tricks, there's no need to equip any moves. Is it worth wasting a skill point on such tricks?
Yaro asked hesitantly, "What is the thing that can save my life?"

Bosco flipped his hand, and a small doll the size of his palm suddenly appeared in his palm: "You should have heard of this thing before, this is the Lesser Substitute Puppet!"

"What?" Yaro's pupils widened.

The effect of the substitute puppet is so exaggerated that it is something that countless formal wizards dream of. It can use the power of space and time to defy cause and effect within three minutes and use a substitute to avoid an accidental death!
The secondary stand puppet is much weaker. It only uses the power of space to quickly activate the teleportation ability when encountering a fatal attack, while leaving a humanoid puppet in place to confuse the enemy.

Even so, it is something that many formal wizards would desperately want.

If calculated in terms of magic stones, this thing is definitely worth more than 100,000 magic stones!

"Do you want it or not?"

"Yes!" Yaro nodded hurriedly.

Exchanging a skill point for a secondary substitute puppet is definitely a worthwhile deal!
