This wizard only wants to take students.

Chapter 21: “Steady” Lucian

[Your student Carly reveres you, reverence value +50]

Lucian looked at the girl, whose eyes now had light in them, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

“You have great ambition,” Lucian praised, but he looked towards the empty space not far away. “But I think you need to make up for the time you just wasted. Otherwise, I will have to keep you out of class today.”

Carly looked at Lucian, who was smiling "friendly" at the moment, and suddenly felt that the transformation of Master Lucian between holiness and demon seemed to happen in an instant.

"Yes..." Carly's voice sounded a little weak, but she still continued the boring practice obediently.

……

boom--

As a slight explosion sounded, a ball of light blue "Hickey Gum" floated in the palm of Carly's right hand.

"Master Lucian, I did it!" Carly cheered.

But Lucian didn't laugh, instead he looked a little confused, because the expected system message didn't pop up at this time. He didn't get any knowledge after the upgrade, nor did he get any tips like the one about generating a bond.

Lucian couldn't help but call up Carly's character panel.

[Teaching Progress] Blazing Fire Technique·Revised (90.00%) {Theoretical teaching: 100%; Practical teaching: 0%}

“I see. It seems that there are some differences between the teaching of some witchcraft and the teaching of meditation. In addition to mastering witchcraft, a certain amount of practical experience may be required.” Lucian understood and smiled.

Actual combat? That's not a problem.

"Mentor Lucian?" Carly looked at Lucian with some anticipation in her expression.

"Not bad." Lucian looked at Carly and gently rubbed the latter's little head.

[Your student Carly admires you, respect value +1]

"But this is not enough." Lucian looked at Carly, whose eyes were not working properly at the moment, and said lightly.

Carly's little head drooped a little obviously.

"Because to test whether you have truly mastered a spell, in addition to being able to perform it in theory, you also need to test it in actual combat." Lucian smiled and looked at Carly. "Get ready, take a good nap at noon to recover your energy, and we will take a mission in the afternoon so that you can test your results in actual combat."

Carly raised her head, but when she looked at Lucian, her words were slightly coquettish. "Teacher Lucian, were you teasing me on purpose just now?"

“I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense.” Lucian argued, but the smile on his face was very obvious.

The mission area and trading area of ​​Gray Bone Academy have always been the places with the largest flow of people.

"This is it." Lucian looked at the tasks in the task bar and finally chose a task that was more suitable for Carly.

[Clear Blood Crows]: Hunt 50 adult blood crows (you need to pay the beak of the blood crow as a quest certificate)

【Publisher】：Graybone Academy
[Task Introduction]: Recently, the blood crow population in the northern part of the Gray Bone Forest has over-breeded, and some of them need to be cleared out to maintain the ecological balance.

[Reward] 2 Magic Stones
Although the reward for the mission is not high, and hunting 50 blood crows, which are famous for their agility, is a time-consuming, laborious and hard task, there is no doubt that the blood crows can be regarded as one of Carly's best "practical teachers" at this stage.

Blood Crows are a low-level monster that inhabits the Gray Bone Forest. They are a hybrid of one-eyed crows and common crows. Because they lack the wisdom to communicate effectively with wizards, they cannot serve as a wizard's magical companion. However, they are also regarded as wild supernatural creatures (referred to as monsters) guarding the periphery by the academy and have become the "overlord" of the Gray Bone Forest.

This kind of monster that lives in groups is small, flies fast, and has sharp claws and beaks. Moreover, as monsters, they are born with a kind of sonic magic that can make people feel sick and uncomfortable. This cry can cause a lot of interference to the apprentices in building witchcraft models. But from another perspective, if you can still perform witchcraft perfectly under the interference of blood crows, then this witchcraft will have no problem in actual combat.

When Lucian took the mission badge and turned around, he saw Carly who was already ready to take action.

"Teacher, are we setting off now?" There was a hint of uncontrollable excitement on Carly's face, which formed a contrast with the apprentices around her who accepted tasks for the sake of points.

Lucian looked at Carly, his eyes sweeping under the gray robe that represented her identity as a new blood.

"Let's go, I'll go buy you some equipment first." Lucian shook his head. With the single clothes that Carly was wearing now, once she left the academy, she would probably not have much defensive ability at all. Even weak monsters like blood crows and rock fire lizards might be able to threaten Carly's life.

Lucian didn't want to go out and then have to look for students all over again after returning...

Suddenly, Lucian's expression changed.

He suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have any extra quota for bound students. In other words, if Carly had an accident, his system would most likely also fail.

"Hiss..." Lucian took a deep breath. He looked at Carly and suddenly felt that the little girl in front of him had suddenly become a porcelain doll, a fragile item!

Moreover, this porcelain doll seems to be ready to die at this moment!

Well, it was I who proposed and encouraged it.

Lucian's expression changed again and again, and finally a somewhat classic scene emerged in his mind.

What a sin——

"Master Lucian?" Carly's gentle call brought Lucian back to reality.

He looked down at the porcelain doll... no, it was Carly, and she immediately smiled. "Carly, let me tell you about the first lesson of field combat!"

Lucian's sudden serious expression made Carly subconsciously hold her breath and retreat tactically.

"That is, no matter when, you have to be fully prepared when you go out to fight." Lucian patted Carly on the shoulder, "Only if you are alive can you output."

Carly blinked.

An hour later.

"Not bad." Lucian looked at Carly, who was now much more "stable", and felt a little safe in his heart. He nodded with satisfaction.

If it weren't for the fact that Kali's small body couldn't support a set of heavy armor, Lucian would have wanted to arrange another set for Kali when she went out. In his opinion, the best equipment for little Kali when she went out was the "tin can" set of the paladin.

However, since heavy armor could not be arranged for the time being, Lucian put a lot of effort into the equipment that Carly is currently wearing.

This set of alchemical light armor cost him eight magic stones! In terms of defense, it was enough to withstand one or two magical attacks from a second-level wizard apprentice!

"Teacher..." Carly lowered her head and looked at the light armor on her body, seeming to be hesitant to speak. She felt that the first actual combat she was about to start seemed a little different from what she had imagined before.

"Let's go." Lucian patted Carly's shoulder and handed her a sturdy metal shield.

Carly looked down at the heavy shield in her hand, tilted her head and thought for a moment. She felt that what Mentor Lucian said was not wrong, but for some reason, she just felt something strange.

This feeling is particularly obvious when seeing the lighter outfits of other wizard apprentices.
