Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 147 Comments
The apprentice's words still stirred a slight ripple in Aro's heart.

With a wave of her hand, the mother's ship was destroyed.

A skinny monkey soars through the sky, accompanied by continuous thunder.

Formal wizards—like demons, like gods!
……

Yaro couldn't imagine how terrifying and brutal a battle between a group of wizards would be.

Faced with that kind of battlefield, no matter how many of us novice wizard apprentices are there, getting close would only result in us being reduced to ashes, right?

The thought that the academy might become a battleground made Yaro feel uneasy, and he turned toward the battle-scarred street.

Whatever choice you make, you should at least tell Bosco.

Furthermore, Yaro had some questions he wanted to ask him. He had previously thought there was still plenty of time, so he wanted to find a suitable time to ask, but now it seemed he had no choice but to take the risk.

After turning the corner and arriving at Battle Corner Street, the streets were still bustling with people, but the atmosphere on the street was noticeably more tense.

It's clear that many materials are seeing price reductions, especially some common materials that are currently being sold off at rock-bottom prices.

Are they all making preparations?

In the past, even ordinary materials were not cheap at the academy, since transporting materials from outside would cost a lot.

The significant price drop in these common materials indicates that many apprentices are already preparing to set off!
"Does the academy assign so many travel missions?"

"Or... is this also part of the academy's plan?"

"Or perhaps, this was an arrangement made by the faculty members?"

College instructors naturally have the right to assign tasks, but if they are assigning tasks to their own students, they don't need to assign tasks at all; they can simply send their students out.

"Did the mentors act out of kindness?"

Yaro shook his head.

Although he never hesitated to speculate on the academy's motives with the utmost malice, he never denied that there might be good people among the other mentors.

However, he was unwilling to make a judgment before receiving a definite answer.

……

Bosco reclined leisurely in his chair, smiling as he asked, "Yaro? What brings you here again today?"

From the moment Yaro met Bosco, he discovered that Bosco seemed to spend all his time holed up in his hut, and when he had a spare moment, he would wander around the mysterious temple.

Most of the day is spent drinking tea, reading letters, and living the life of a retired old man.

However, the letters he read were all kinds of 'wanted posters,' and it seemed that he wanted to pull off two more big heists before he died.

Yaro stepped forward, explained the announcement he had just seen, and then told the apprentices how to handle it. He then asked, "Teacher, do you know what the news is? What should I do? Should I follow their example and go and take on an overseas assignment?"

Bosco sat up with a frown, puzzled. "I didn't get involved in the academy's affairs, so I don't have any more information. But the wizard told me some things yesterday, so it shouldn't be anything serious."

No big deal?
So, just like the issues with Banlangen (Isatis root) and salt in the past, it was merely a mass panic event?
"How many people are actually qualified for overseas assignments? The academy still has so many new students and so many guards. What use would those few people be if they went out? If anything really happened, the official wizards from the Jungle House would have already come to our aid."

Bosco glanced at the still worried Yaro and said earnestly, "Yaro, I told you a long time ago that a formal wizard's rank does not completely represent their combat strength."

"Let me put it this way: as long as the academy's defenses are operational, I alone can subdue those invading official wizards. Owl Wizard Academy has never been a piece of meat to be slaughtered."

Bosco's words finally convinced Jaro. He himself could think of firearms, gunpowder, and explosives.

With so many years of heritage, does the Owl Wizarding Academy really have no defensive capabilities at all?
impossible!
Even if it's just a simple array of magic runes, its power accumulated over so many years should not be underestimated.

Furthermore, if they were truly in danger, the Jungle House, being one of only three second-class Thorn Academy academies, would not remain inactive.

Yaro nodded: "I understand, teacher."

"Teacher, I designed a weapon last night, and I hope you can take a look at it."

Yaro couldn't say that he came specifically to ask if he needed to leave the academy, and he couldn't ask other questions directly either, so he took out the gun sketches he had made the night before.

Yaro pointed to the sketch and explained, "This is a bullet, filled with explosives. The device here converts the explosion into kinetic energy."

"The device can also use some of the explosive force to push the spring structure backward, causing it to automatically load the ammunition."

In one night, Yaro, all by himself, designed only one simple automatic firearm.

Bosco, however, became interested and looked through the sketches, nodding repeatedly: "Not bad, the structure is simple and easy to understand. This kind of structure can only be used when facing a formal wizard. It seems you remembered what I reminded you: the more detailed it is, the easier it is to destroy."

"what?"

No, this is something I didn't design completely!
Bosco sensed Yaro's hesitation and tapped the scrap paper on the table: "Don't you remember what happened yesterday?"

"For a formal wizard, altering gravity, temperature, air, or even space is not too difficult!"

"The more detailed your design, the higher the environmental requirements will be, right?"

Is that so?
No wonder... the wizarding tradition has been passed down for so long, yet their weapons are still so rudimentary.

Indeed, while no one may have discovered gunpowder, there is a considerable amount of explosive material circulating among wizards.

Has no one ever thought of converting an explosion into kinetic energy all these years?

They must have encountered resistance at this point, realizing that this path was not easy, which is why they were eventually abandoned.

Yaro asked unwillingly, "Isn't there a solution?"

Bosco tapped Yaro on the head, as if to see if he was a blockhead: "Alchemy, alchemy!"

"You convert all these structures into magic runes. Once the artifact is forged into one piece, it will naturally create an energy barrier, which will shield you from the surrounding influences to a certain extent!"

Yaro seemed to be deep in thought.

Can alchemy shield against this effect?

Bosco waved the scrap paper and said, "Your device design is quite good, but its power is still lacking. It might not even be able to threaten an intermediate apprentice. It's just an interesting design. Take it back."

Yaro was not surprised to hear Bosco's comments; he was already prepared.

Not to mention that this was only a preliminary design by Yaro, who possessed memories from his previous life and clearly knew the future of this weapon.

Yes, it's not possible right now.

But what happens when its power increases?

A thousand miles away, I'll snipe you with one shot?
