Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 154 Intermediate Apprentice
Constructing a magic trick within the space of consciousness, while dangerous, is actually not that difficult.

As long as the apprentice isn't pretending to know what they don't, and can truly perform spells out of thin air, they can basically succeed in building a system.

After all... an intermediate apprentice is still just an apprentice, and there is no fundamental change.

"When I was still a novice apprentice, I could take on ten intermediate wizard apprentices!"

Yaro has always been aiming to match the combat strength of a formal wizard.

Therefore, even after successfully constructing the three-system core and becoming a true intermediate wizard apprentice, his emotions were not greatly affected.

"The construction of the core magic seems to enhance the control over the three elements? Is it really that useful? To a formal wizard, they're still just ants?"

Yaro was going to make some changes to himself, this ant.

For example... crafting armor and weapons.

what?
Should I allocate skill points to Magic Strike?

Crazy?
The reason why magic techniques are divided into levels is to reduce the power of the moves.

The kinetic energy generated by a fully activated magic technique is too great; Aro's physique simply cannot withstand it!

Should I continue to use the pendant's magic for protection?

Putting aside the fact that the magic contained a piece of the mother's spiritual power, which was an important clue in the search for her.

It's important to understand that pure magic can only defend against pure energy attacks by relying on its ability to drive energy; it has no way to deal with material attacks.

The problem that Yarrow encountered was the reaction force, which was even more troublesome than a physical attack.

Didn't the wizard Bosco say that?

Yaro's use of the pendant's magic to fully activate the 'Abyss Contract Technique' was merely a matter of accumulating energy; it didn't significantly boost his combat power.

Of course, this statement isn't entirely accurate.

The dense abyssal power could conceal the structure of the 'Magic Strike Technique'. During the battle with the skinny monkey, the dense abyssal power condensed into an arrogant black flame phoenix. The skinny monkey never expected that Yaro's move did not rely on external power.

Surrounded by dense abyssal power, it also enhances the defensive capabilities against 'Magic Strike Technique - Nirvana'.

However, in terms of overall effect, it did not bring about a fundamental transformation.

What is the best way to fundamentally transform one's own strength?
Should I increase my constitution?
The improvement of each level of Magic Strike is tenfold. How many skill points would it take to increase that?
The most practical solution is to wear a set of energy-absorbing and shock-absorbing armor!

The simplest energy-absorbing material—rubber!
Uh... I didn't see any academy that had it, but there's a kind of fish glue that seems to have similar effects.

Then comes the structural design.

This is not difficult either.

First, the rubber... fish glue is made into a honeycomb shape the size of a little fingertip. This honeycomb structure itself has very good cushioning properties.

Then, high-pressure gas is added to these small honeycombs, just like the sneakers that Yaro wore in his previous life, to give them a secondary energy absorption function.

The final product looks somewhat like the bubble wrap from the previous life, but its energy absorption effect is reliable.

First, there's the honeycomb structure. Each side of the honeycomb has six edges. When an impact comes, it immediately spreads outwards and, with the help of the elasticity of the rubber material, offsets the impact.

According to the physical gas law, the temperature of the gas inside will rise when it is compressed, which means that the kinetic energy is converted into heat energy. This is called secondary energy absorption.

Thirdly, if the kinetic energy is too great, these honeycomb structures will naturally burst open. The force of the burst and the force of the ejected gas will cancel out the transmitted force, which is the last resort. With the internal structure resolved, the next step is to find suitable outer materials.

To find the material most resistant to the erosion of the abyss's power, one exposure was enough; Yaro didn't want a second chance.

This also serves as a protection for the internal buffer structure; otherwise, it's possible that the internal buffer structure could be completely corroded by the power of the abyss before the war even begins.

To solve this problem, Yaro could only collect different materials and then test them one by one.

With the armor issue resolved, the next step is to modify and improve the 'Fiery Longsword'.

In the brief battle with the skinny monkey, three material problems arose.

First: Because of the high speed when the 'Magic Strike Technique' is activated, the 'Hot Molten Stone' receives too much oxygen, eventually burning with intense flames.

The result was that the 'molten stone' was consumed too quickly; once it was used up, the flames would begin to weaken.

Second: Because the flames were too strong, the longsword heated up too quickly. Since silver has a melting point of only 1,000 degrees Celsius, the silver core quickly became a molten silver solution and began to conduct heat in the reverse direction.

Third: The steel blade is still too brittle. If a better material cannot be found, the blade needs to be at least three times wider!
The structure of the Fiery Sword is not problematic, except that the steam switch mechanism is a bit cumbersome.

Think about it from a comparative perspective.

The steam from cooking rice, even if added to a sword used for slashing, how much power would it add?
Isn’t this funny?

Of course, this was also Yaro's mistake. He didn't expect that he would be able to design the 'Magic Strike Technique' so soon. When designing the 'Fiery Sword Technique', the power of the steam was a good help to him at the time.

It must be changed now!
How to change it?
First, the cooling structure of the sword hilt cannot be removed. The steam mechanism can be modified to allow water vapor to dissipate automatically and continuously cool the sword hilt.

Wouldn't that make a waste of the moves in the 'Blazing Sword Technique' that work in conjunction with this steam engine?

How can that work!
Isn't the blade supposed to be widened?

As it happened, Yaro also had an 'airship power core' and some knowledge of its power runes, so he added it to the sword hilt.

The new 'Blazing Longsword' still has the original mechanism buttons on the hilt, but these mechanisms no longer control the release of steam. Instead, they release a powerful airflow by using the magic runes on the rotating wheel, which still provides assistance to the sword's slashing. The moves of the 'Blazing Sword Technique' do not need to be modified at all.

The air inlet is designed on the hilt, which can also cool the air on the hilt, making it a win-win situation.

……

One thing after another kept Yaro extremely busy.

Even so, Yaro still sets aside a fixed time each day for meditation.

Having reached the intermediate wizard apprentice level, Yaro had exhausted the advantages he had accumulated in his childhood. Now, like other wizard apprentices, he needed to train his mental strength through meditation every day.

It was only at this moment that Yaro realized how poor his aptitude was and how difficult it was to improve his mental strength.

Poor aptitude means that Yaro can perceive fewer elements with his mental power, and he can only grasp a few drops of elements each time.

If we say that superior aptitude trains mental strength, it's like going to the gym and using fitness equipment to push your own strength limits to train your muscles.

Yaro exercises every day by holding two small sandbags, each about the size of his palm.

Is this what an intermediate apprenticeship is like?
Isn’t this a scam?

Yaro sensed the deep malice emanating from the world!
