Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 130 Enjoying Solitude
After several ups and downs on the stage, the final winner was determined.

The winners were in high spirits, while the losers were distraught. In the end, they were all thrown into the academy's private, eerie space, and then they all walked out with smiles on their faces.

The other apprentices argued amongst themselves, using phrases like "maybe," "if," and "otherwise" to defend their favorites, or to speculate about what the top eight contestants had gained in the strange space, secretly resolving to work harder in the future.

Extravagance will eventually give way to simplicity, and noise will eventually give way to tranquility.

Once everything was settled, the college issued a notice that the main facilities, including the teaching buildings, library, and eerie space, would be closed for the next two months.

Shortly thereafter, the mission center issued a large number of overseas assignments.

Ambitious people want to take this opportunity to earn a lot of magic stones and contribution points.

Even apprentices who just wanted to coast through life wanted to take this opportunity to go out and have some fun.

So, without being urged or driven away, the apprentices received different assignments and went to different towns in the surrounding area.

While clearing out various monsters, they were also searching for traces of the strange space.

Each time a trace of the eerie space is discovered, the mission center will issue a follow-up mission: to build houses for future newborns in the open space surrounding the eerie space.

Sometimes they would encounter some open and eerie spaces, which would attract many apprentices to gather there.

The apprentices sent out to work were less like students on vacation and more like wild horses running free.

Individuals and groups of people are running around in the outside world, busy with different things.

But all of this had little to do with Aro, who was engrossed in his studies.

He immersed himself in solitude, diligently studying magic runes on his own.

Even if the library closes, it won't affect him much, because he has enough contribution points and magic stones to exchange for the books he needs in advance.

A fulfilling and quiet time always passes quickly.

With purposeful study, Yaro copied the magic patterns on the 'airship power core' and, after a month, finally created a usable 'rotating wheel'.

Instead of rushing out, he stayed in the academy for another half month, absorbing the magic power from the magic stones and filling the magic power to the limit of his own mental strength.

At this point, if he could solidify three more magic trick structures in his sea of ​​consciousness, he would be able to be called an 'intermediate wizard apprentice'.

Yaro was not going to wait any longer.

At this time, most of the academy's apprentices and full-fledged wizards were outside, making it the perfect time to find experimental sites.

After greeting the wizard Bosco, Yaro used his magic to escape, disappearing around the corner.

……

When the surroundings became clear again, Yaro's view was filled with towering, enormous trees that seemed to reach into the clouds.

"Sound-absorbing balsa wood!"

By this time, Yaro was able to identify the species of these trees.

Although none of these trees are short, they may not have been growing for very long. Their internal structure is somewhat similar to that of bamboo, with a large part of the inside being hollow.

Perhaps to ensure overall rigidity, these hollow structures will automatically grow into a honeycomb shape. It is precisely because of these special structures that this tree species has a strong sound-absorbing effect, and no sound can travel very far in this forest.

It is precisely because of this effect that this enormous forest is called the 'Silent Forest'.

Yaro secretly became more vigilant.

The academy does not prohibit apprentices from entering the material world, but since becoming an apprentice, Yaro has been busy collecting experience points and has encountered many troubles. This is the first time he has returned here since he came to the academy.

Following the teachings at the academy, Yarrow looked up at the sky.

"I came out from corner 4, and my location should be close to the border of the 'Golden Bauhinia Kingdom'." Bordering the Owl Wizard Academy are two empires and one kingdom, all surrounding the Silent Forest from different directions.

Yes, these are all human kingdoms.

As for why the main continent, which is filled with void energy, can still have human kingdoms, Yaro didn't know the reason.

"It's eight o'clock in the morning, and the sun is in the southeast. To get out of the Silent Forest, you have to go in the opposite direction."

Having determined the direction, Yaro drew his cross-shaped longsword.

Sound-absorbing balsa wood also shares a similarity with bamboo in that it lacks branches and leaves at the base. In addition, these towering sound-absorbing balsa woods are lush and leafy, taking away too much sunlight. The ground of the silent forest has few shrubs, but there are plenty of vines that steal nutrients from the trees.

The best tool to deal with these vines is naturally an ordinary steel longsword.

Although the Fiery Longsword is quite powerful, its basic hardness and toughness are not as good as this cross-shaped longsword made by a top blacksmith.

Not to mention that the cross-shaped longsword is heavy in the front and light in the back, making it very easy to chop and strike with force.

"I wonder how Keitan is doing now?"

Wielding the cross-shaped longsword, Yaro suddenly thought of Keitan.

"They must have received assignments for overseas assignments as well, right?"

Ketaen's magic skills were not yet proficient, and he could only barely use a few simple tricks with the help of spellcasting materials. Thinking of him, Yaro felt inexplicably worried.

"I hope everything goes well."

Aro prayed silently.

Aro had no other option but to pray.

You can't exactly say, "Ketta, stop striving, I'll take care of you," can you?
That's the rule of the academy: if you want to improve and become stronger, you have to face the risks.

If you don't want to improve or become stronger, the academy won't make things difficult for you. We'll feed you until you're plump and healthy, and if you exceed the allotted time, you can just get out of the academy on your own.

From a young age, Yaro learned about the rules of wizarding from his parents and understood that this was the normal way for wizards to grow up. He also understood that the academy's attitude towards the weak was already quite good.

At least, for trainees who are eliminated, there is no income from the 'materials room'.

……

Yaro had chosen an area close to the outside world. After finding the correct location, he gradually walked and saw the surrounding trees gradually become shorter.

The sound-absorbing balsa wood was intentionally cultivated by the academy. The land in the Silent Forest was allocated by the academy over a long period of time. Once outside those areas, the surrounding soil quality changed, and the sound-absorbing balsa wood naturally could no longer grow to its original height.

Yaro climbed a tree that was slightly taller than the surrounding trees and began to survey his surroundings.

His main purpose for this trip was to find a location that could be used for experiments.

Since the experiment cannot be exposed to external light sources, the location should be far away from human habitation. Also, because the required experimental area is large, it is difficult to protect the experimental equipment, so the surrounding vegetation and wild animals should be minimal.

"Don't let the equipment you've set up be scattered by wild beasts after you've only taken two steps."

However, Yaro could not choose a place that was too far away, because if it was too far away, the complicated experimental equipment would be difficult to transport.

Because of these needs, Yarrow first deviated from the path of revelation.

It's obvious at a glance that apprentices often pass by this road.

After circling around, Yaro set his sights on a barren mountain.
