Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 30 The Best
Good things in life are often hard-won, while things rarely go as planned.

Deafening thunder echoed outside, and flashes of lightning illuminated the surroundings as if it were daytime.

Da da……

First, a few raindrops fell, then a torrential downpour began.

Crackle, crash...

Raindrops slid down the eaves and dripped onto the spacious balcony, then were blown into Yaro's room by the howling wind.

Feeling the water droplets constantly soaking his face, Yaro woke up from his dream with a blank expression, stared blankly at the balcony, and began to question the meaning of life.

The more carefree he was when he looked at the stars, the more pain he is now.

No way, such a big balcony, there must be something to cover it up, right?
Hidden under the covers, Yaro, using the flickering candlelight in the room, kept scanning the balcony and finally discovered the source of 'life'.

There is a recessed straight line between the room and the balcony. A stack of wooden planks is neatly piled on the balcony, which should be the barrier used for the partition.

Yaro, get up quickly and go and set up the planks!
No! There's a powerful pull from inside the blanket; I can't break free!

No, that's just your own laziness. Be strong, Yaro, you're the best!

Yes, I'm the best!

……

After a fierce internal struggle, Yaro finally made a decision: he rolled over and pulled the blanket over his head!
"Hey!"

Just a moment later, reason finally returned.

Realizing that he might end up sleeping in the pond if he ignored it, Yaro had no choice but to get up.

There is a small protruding eave above the balcony, but in this well-ventilated environment, it is not enough to keep out the heavy rain blown in by the wind.

It was raining heavily outside, and a light drizzle was falling on the balcony, creating puddles of varying sizes on what appeared to be a smooth surface.

The wind and rain took away the warmth that Yaro had managed to gather from under the covers. He couldn't help but shiver, quickly quickened his pace, stepped into the small puddle, and reached for the wooden plank.

The solid wood planks were not light, and they were slippery when wet from the rain, but this did not stump Yaro, who had been training for many years. With a light shout and a little effort, he lifted the planks and placed them upright in the groove.

Having gained experience in placing one plank, Yaro, relying on his extraordinary perception, increased his speed and soon erected all the planks.

She quickly went to the bathroom, hastily dried her clothes with a towel, and hurriedly crawled back into bed.

Shh! That feels so good.

The lingering warmth of the blankets made Yaro's body even more relaxed, and he immediately felt sleepy. He closed his eyes with a satisfied smile.

Unfortunately, the planks didn't seem to be tightly sealed. When Yaro closed his eyes, he could clearly hear the creaking sounds that the planks made from time to time.

Drip, drip, drip... The raindrops, falling from who knows where, kept making a sound, somewhat like approaching footsteps.

Snoring!

Snoring!

……

Yaro opened his eyes in pain.

He never expected that his teacher could snore!
Brain... I want to sleep.

Ears—get out!

The enclosed environment made the surrounding sounds even more pronounced, and Yaro stared blankly at the burning candle beside him.

Given his physical condition, not sleeping for one night wouldn't be a big deal for him.

It's really unpleasant to be suddenly awakened while you're sound asleep, and then be kept awake by all sorts of noises...

Crack!

The lamp oil was of unknown origin, and when it burned, it not only emitted a faint stench but also produced wisps of black smoke. The candlelight occasionally flickered, causing the flame to sway slightly and making the shadows on the wall tremble as well.

Yaro stared blankly at the lights and shadows.

After waiting for who knows how long, my eyelids finally began to droop.

ZZZ……

dong dong!

The heavy knocking woke Yaro again. He turned over, grabbed the blanket, and pulled it over his head.

My blanket is my invincible sanctuary; no one can disturb me!

Boom boom boom!
The knocking was neither too slow nor too slow, maintaining a certain rhythm without stopping for a moment.

The tree wants to be still but the wind doesn’t stop!
Yaro sighed softly and could only shout outside, "Who is it! Why aren't you sleeping at this hour!"

bang bang bang!
Upon hearing Yaro's voice, the knocking outside became even more urgent!
The black cat stretched and grumbled, "Can't you just let me sleep in peace?"

Quiet and peaceful?

Didn't you sleep for a long time?
……

Wait!

Quiet?

So quiet!

After all this commotion, why is the hotel still so quiet?

Yaro immediately sat up, grabbed the knight's longsword placed on the bedside table, looked around with a solemn expression, and his breathing rhythm subtly changed.

"Did you notice?" The black cat yawned and got up. "If you hadn't noticed, you might have been able to keep sleeping, but now that you've realized it, the gate to another dimension has opened."

Yaro's pupils involuntarily contracted.

At the same time, the surrounding scenery began to change rapidly, producing unimaginable and enormous changes.

First came the sound of rain outside, which gradually increased in volume. Then, at a certain limit, the sound of rain suddenly disappeared completely. It was unclear whether the sound of rain had exceeded the limits of Yaro's hearing or simply stopped for no apparent reason.

Then the row of wooden planks that had been erected on the balcony began to twist inexplicably, the gaps between them gradually disappeared, and the rattling sound of the planks gradually changed into a dull 'hissing' sound.

It was as if a giant beast was scratching and clawing behind that wooden wall.

The sound of dripping water droplets turned into footsteps, lingering around the doorway.

The candlelight suddenly blazed brighter, and the already not-so-old walls gradually became mottled, with countless gray-green molds rapidly climbing up. Whoosh!
The earthen blocks separating the bathrooms gradually collapsed, and spider webs inexplicably spread in mid-air.

In that short time, it felt as if hundreds of years had passed in the entire room!

Snap!

The sudden noise startled Yaro. When he turned around, he realized that it was the sound of the rotting wooden bed collapsing.

The wool products on the entire bed began to shrink and turn black, and a foul, unpleasant stench gradually filled the air.

Looking at the gray-black wool sheets and faint traces of lying down among the rotten wood, Yaro couldn't help but feel a sense of disorientation.

Did I fall into another dimension, or am I trapped in another dimension for hundreds of years?
The thought had barely crossed Yaro's mind when the lights went out, and in the pitch-black room, the faint light coming from the crack in the door became even more conspicuous.

bump bump!
With a loud noise, the light coming through the crack in the door widened, and Yaro's heart pounded as a strong sense of crisis gradually enveloped him.

Yaro swallowed hard and subconsciously took a half step back.

The black cat slowly walked over and comforted him, "Little Yaro, don't be afraid. You should have felt it too; the abnormality around us has intensified, right?"

"It's all because of yourself."

"This is just a low-level eerie space, but because you identified with it and took the things that the eerie space manifested as real, the connection between you and this eerie space has been deepened."

Yaro smiled wryly, "I didn't want to either, but... these sudden flashes of thought are beyond my control!"

"Once you become a junior wizard apprentice, you will be able to stabilize your mental strength. At that time, as long as your rationality exists, you will be able to control your thoughts."

Yaro took a deep breath and calmed himself down, saying, "Then I want to leave here even more, because I will soon be able to begin my wizarding studies. I will be able to do these things naturally when the time comes."

"Teacher Gemma, if we stay where we are, will we be able to leave this place automatically?"

Yaro was well aware of the black cat's extensive knowledge, and faced with the unknown situation, he could only seek help from the black cat.

The black cat continued, "Did you start to feel fear afterwards? Did you feel it was getting more and more dangerous?"

Yaro didn't deny it, but asked in return, "What's wrong?"

The black cat looked around, raised an eyebrow, and said, "A sense of crisis is not a mistake. Your fear has been absorbed by the strange entity. You're being targeted!"

"Doesn't it feel like this eerie space is getting more and more real?"

"Waiting in the same place is waiting to die!"

"And...it's not necessary!"

"Hahaha!"

The black cat's laughter grew wild.

"You're afraid because you're too weak. If you were strong enough, why would you be afraid?"

"This is an opportunity!"

Using the light filtering through the crack in the door, Yaro was surprised to find that black smoke was rising from his first teacher.

"Yaro, I will impart another piece of knowledge to you today."

"Many eerie spaces can absorb your emotions, thereby stealing your mental energy and strengthening themselves!"

Even if you become a wizard, it is still difficult to completely defend against all kinds of strange spaces.

"The emotions they draw upon might be fear, or they might be greed, lust, or appetite... but basically all the eerie spaces will not absorb the desire for battle!"

Black mist spread and gradually condensed into a black cat even larger than Barrow's body.

"Do you know why?"

"Because during combat, the survival instinct is triggered, and all emotions are focused on survival, leaving very few scattered emotions, so..."

"Don't always think about escaping."

The huge black cat rushed toward the rattling wooden door.

Swish!
The wooden door was as thin as brittle paper in the face of the black cat's sharp claws.

Wood chips flew everywhere, and on the black cat's huge head, a pair of deep, dark green vertical eyes looked at Yaro.

"Yaro, let's fight!"

Are we being watched?

Is waiting just waiting to die?

...To fight?

Yaro was silent for a moment, then, seeing the encouragement in the black cat's eyes, he grinned and revealed an exaggerated smile.

"it is good!"

He raised his hand and slowly drew the longsword from its sheath.

Swish!
A light flashed in the darkness.

Squat down, and the Cat-Shaped Fist - Running will automatically activate.

The arrector pili muscles throughout the body tensed, and various subtle tactile sensations were transmitted to the brain.

Breathing gradually increased, a large amount of oxygen entered the lungs, and the heart beat rapidly.

This is such a familiar situation.

It's like going back to 'kindergarten'!
So, let me think about it...

This time—how should you cry?

Yesterday was Monday, and I was hoping to make it off the list.

Unfortunately, they couldn't compete with them. Yesterday, they couldn't even hold onto sixth place in their category and dropped out of the top ten, let alone the overall Rising Star ranking.

However, I still appreciate everyone's support. I've slowly climbed back up today.

We're not in a hurry, there are still weeks to come.

In the future, I will reduce the amount of thanks I give, because it takes me about ten minutes each time I copy the list of thanks.

Because you have to search through each category and compare names one by one, and some people's names are too hard to type, you have to go to the web version to copy them, especially some people who use numbers, their eyes get tired just trying to type their names...

I apologize in advance.
Please continue to support us in the future. We'll continue our climb on the charts next Monday!
