Big Devil: Starting from refining flying zombies

Three months later, at the Titanium Wizarding Academy, a large outdoor experimental site.

First-year students majoring in Warcraft History and Genealogy are gathered here under the guidance of mentor Scamander.

They are preparing to start their final exams.

The course content of this major is to identify the types and habits of various magical beasts in the Blood Spirit Continent, as well as to study the historical evolution and mutation process of their bloodlines, etc.

Therefore, the assessment content of the first year of this major is to tame a magical beast as a witchcraft pet.

Mentor Scamander will score the witchcraft pet based on multiple dimensions such as its intelligence level, strength level, growth potential, and obedience.

You can see that there are all kinds of magical beasts following their masters on the field.

Most of them are small-sized monsters such as black cats, toads, and hounds.

However, compared to these dazzling Warcraft pets, the little wizards on the field were more concerned about an unexpected person who appeared here.

Neltharion was seen wearing a red velvet wizard robe with gold edges, which was completely different from that of the other students. He was holding a large birdcage covered with black cloth and standing quietly in the corner, as if he was also waiting for an assessment.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect that the famous genius freshman would choose our major's final exam!"

"Should I say I feel honored?"

"Think about it, out of so many majors, he chose Warcraft History. Doesn't this just mean that this major actually has great academic prospects?"

A stocky, plain-looking boy had a beaming smile on his face. He was holding a black-skinned toad bigger than a bowl in his hands and was whispering with his companions.

"You really think too much. They probably just picked it randomly and live their life the way they choose!"

"Besides, even if the Warcraft history genealogy really has great potential, it has nothing to do with us. When they publish academic papers, it won't affect us from going home and wasting our time by breeding Warcraft in the future."

Upon hearing this, the companion adjusted his glasses, then squatted down depressedly and stroked his witchcraft pet, a long-haired magic rabbit, and unceremoniously revealed the cruel truth, lamenting:

"Haven't you heard that Neltharion is a second-level wizard? Second-level!"

"Tsk tsk, even among the academy graduates, only a handful can reach the second level. This big guy is so good that he has already stood at the finish line from the very beginning. How can you not accept it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many of the proud young wizards on the field looked a little gloomy, feeling greatly shocked.

But this blow came quickly and went away quickly. After all, the gap between Neltharion and them was too big, and there was no need to compare them at all.

Soon, people became interested in the birdcage in Neltharion's hand, and began to speculate what grade of witchcraft pet was inside.

"Since it's a birdcage, there should be a bird pet in it. There aren't many bird pets that are suitable as witchcraft pets."

"Let me guess... there might be a Gargoyle Bird that releases petrifying rays, or a Lightning Golden Eagle that can control thunder, or a Night Owl cub that can devour the enemy's mental power and continue to grow!"

Some people swear that they made a judgment based on the size of the birdcage.

Moreover, they were all guessed to be extremely terrifying and rare bird-like monsters. Among them, the Gargoyle Carriage Bird and the Lightning Golden Eagle were both second-level monsters, and the Night Owl was a terrifying monster whose strength was comparable to that of a third-level wizard.

After all, as a second-level wizard, Neltharion's magical pets should be roughly proportional to his own strength.

It is impossible to tame a angora rabbit, a giant toad, a psychic black cat, etc. like some wizard apprentices do to cope with the final examination.

Mentor Scamander also seemed particularly interested in this.

So without wasting time, at the beginning of the assessment, he called on Neltharion to be the first to step forward and demonstrate his witchcraft pet.

"Teacher, this is the witchcraft pet I tamed, but I haven't had time to give it a name yet!"

Neltharion walked in front of everyone and pulled open the black cloth on the birdcage. There was indeed a bird inside, or to be more precise, an extremely special crow. How special was it? When others looked at it carefully, they all gasped. Many of them even held their heads in confusion and took two steps back, feeling greatly shocked.

I saw that this crow was about a foot in size, which was a regular size. It had two different eyes on its head, which emitted one cold red light and one cold blue light.

But what's really shocking is that it's not a purely biological structure.

The part of its body covered by black feathers gleams with a silver metallic luster, and outside its abdomen there are several large, precision luminous gears that mesh with each other and rotate slowly.

And through the gaps between several gears, one could even see energy streams interweaving deep in the chest cavity, emitting a slight humming sound.

Overall, this crow exudes the scent of a forbidden creation, with a kind of precision in its weirdness.

Especially when some little wizard tried to make eye contact with him.

One can even clearly feel that this crow is not a dead object, nor a wild beast, but an alien with extremely high intelligence.

At this moment, this alien was also looking at them coldly, making people shiver unconsciously, their hair standing on end, and they began to feel creepy.

"What an incredible masterpiece, a fusion structure of half biological, half mechanical, and half spiritual?"

"I didn't see you use those controlled alchemical materials. How did you solve the problem of extreme rejection between machinery and flesh and blood?"

"Hmm, looking at it from another angle, the rune circuits related to energy circulation are also very interesting. It seems that there is a lot of room for growth. Is it really possible to do this..."

Scamander rubbed his chin and uttered sounds of admiration from time to time.

But he gradually became silent, no longer making any sound, just staring at the crow with heterochromatic eyes.

Because he had to admit something that was not very glorious, that is, he began to not understand what was said later, and he could not even ask decent questions.

The Heterochromatic Crow, this witchcraft pet, is more like a tamed pet than a tamed one.

It would be better to say that it was created by Neltharion using a crow beast as experimental material, and the extraordinary knowledge involved is extremely mixed.

Even though Scamander is an academy instructor, he is also a very veteran third-level wizard.

But he is just more specialized in the subject of Warcraft historical genealogy.

As for other areas of extraordinary knowledge, they have only been dabbled in to varying degrees, and are far from being proficient in them.

"Now I completely believe in the old saying circulating in the wizarding world."

"That is the result of hundreds or thousands of years of research by mediocre wizards, often just to save a true genius an afternoon of thinking time."

Scamander sighed and without hesitation gave Neltharion the highest grade of "S" on his report card.

"Teacher, you are too kind. My knowledge and thinking are like fleeting fireflies. Only after I gained the wisdom of the great library's predecessors did they become brighter by chance."

Neltharion performed an ancient etiquette of students in the wizarding world and still regarded himself as a junior, which made Scamander very fond of him. However, the former changed his tone and continued:

"Teacher, the world of wizards is extremely vast and wonderful. Knowledge must be applied to reality after all."

"I heard that senior students often go to the wilderness for trials. With my strength as a second-level wizard, I should be able to protect myself."

"Since I have passed my final exam."

"I wonder if you could write me a letter of recommendation to the college so that I can participate in the senior trials. This would definitely be very beneficial to my academic research." (End of this chapter)
