I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 21 Thunder
A series of "excellent" and "superior" results came out like a machine gun, making the old wizard's jaw drop to the table.

His previously contemptuous smile froze completely, replaced by horror and uncontrollable trembling.

Its resistance to mental erosion and mind control has reached the fourth level?!
This is approaching the core resistance of some high-level protective structures!

The last few items, corrosion and anti-curse, surprisingly reported results stating "the assessment is beyond the current instrument's range" and suggested "upgrading the testing"?!
This instrument is a standard device capable of detecting the resistance of materials to wizards below the fifth ring!
This...this...how is this possible?!
The old wizard's unusual behavior attracted the attention of other wizards in the vicinity.

They crowded around to take a look, and when they saw the first two glaring "inferior" marks on the test results list, followed by a dazzling string of "excellent," "superior," and even "assessment beyond the scope," the entire testing center instantly erupted in excitement!

"What the hell?! What kind of material is this?!"

"Why are the physical and energy resistances so poor at the beginning? And why is the erosion resistance so high at the end? It's completely inconsistent!"

"Out of the instrument's range? This material should be at least at the level of a fifth-circle wizard to research! Who submitted it?!"

"Where's the submitter's name?! Is it some high-ranking wizard? Why wasn't it submitted through a special channel?"

They all looked at the simple label on the material sample bottle, which simply read "White iron-based insulating material" and an apprentice number!
"An apprentice?!" Everyone was stunned.

A wizard's apprentice?! Are you kidding me?!

A testing wizard, only at the first-ring formal wizard level, picked up the recording tablet with trembling hands, his voice trembling: "Quick! Go get the supervisor!!!"

The entire testing center was in chaos. All the wizards crowded around, staring at the unremarkable white iron blocks with shock, confusion, and disbelief in their eyes.

Some clever wizards, upon seeing the test results, even began secretly contacting their companions, instructing them to be ready at any time to purchase the isolation material with that number on the magic network.

With curse and corrosion resistance exceeding the fifth ring, this level of material is absolutely controlled even in Norren Workshop.

Insulation material?

It's such a waste of resources!
Wouldn't materials of this caliber be perfect for crafting protective magical artifacts?!
As for weak physical and energy resistance... that has never been a problem!

After all, wizards are best at these two aspects of protection, and they have relevant protective measures.

In the endless interdimensional wars, the greatest trouble the wizards encountered was the erosion and damage caused by all sorts of incomprehensible unknown forces.

The reason why logistics wizards have to go to the front line is so that they can analyze the various special energies or substances in the plane at any time and quickly develop countermeasures.

Similarly, the greatest losses suffered by logistics wizards are the damage inflicted during the research of these things.

With this thing, unless you're extremely unlucky, you'll have an extra life!

More and more wizards realized this, and the secret communications between them became more and more frequent.

So when the supervisor arrived, almost all the official wizards in the academy became excited.

That night, an anonymous apprentice and an unremarkable piece of material cast a silent thunderbolt deep within the alchemy workshop of Norren Academy.

Meanwhile, as the focus of everyone's discussion, Jemin was still sweating profusely in a corner of the warehouse, working hard for those few life-saving points.

He had no idea that his unintentional act had already caused such a stir within the academy.

……

In Material Warehouse No. 5, the air was filled with a mixture of dust and the smell of various ores.

This warehouse is like a huge cave, filled with all kinds of raw materials.

The air was filled with the dust of minerals and the dry smell of plants. Sunlight shone through several rune-covered glass holes at the top, forming beams of light, in which countless tiny dust particles danced.

Wearing protective gear, Jemin and several other apprentices were assigned here, with a small mountain of ore and plants piled up in front of them.

They need to refer to the "Basic Materials Handbook" to identify these materials one by one, sort them into different boxes, weigh them, and then label them.

"Sigh, another physically demanding job." One of his fellow apprentices sighed and bent down to start moving the ore.

"If it were just manual labor, why do we have to identify ores? These things all look exactly the same!" another apprentice sighed.

Jemin didn't say anything, but after putting on his protective suit, he joined them.

While using his mental power to carefully identify the ore in his hand, he mechanically repeated the actions of sorting and weighing.

Suddenly, Jemin stopped moving, because he saw Victor walking in with his mission partner at the entrance of the warehouse.

They also seemed to have just completed a mission and were here looking for the next one.

Victor spotted the "sorting" task that Jemin and his team were doing at a glance, but instead of coming over, he led his partner toward the task board on the extension in the warehouse.

After a while, Jemin heard Victor's voice coming from not far away.

He seems to have found another promising task and is trying to persuade his partner.

“Look, this ‘testing energy conductivity’ task requires going to Energy Chamber No. 3… Although it’s a bit remote, the task itself isn’t difficult. It’s just operating a few instruments, and the points are double those for sorting!” Victor’s tone was enticing. “Don’t just do manual labor, you need to use your brain!”

His partner seemed hesitant: "The energy room... I've heard that the energy fluctuations there are sometimes unstable..."

“It’s alright! There are protective measures in place! Besides, instability is a good thing, so we can record more data. Maybe we can even write a short report for our mentor and leave a good impression?” Victor casually dispelled his partner’s concerns, his tone full of confidence that “following me is definitely the right thing to do.”

Hearing his words, Jemin curled his lip in disapproval.

He was certain that Victor had taken bribes from someone in the energy room and was simply ripping off unsuspecting people.

Of course, it's not fair to call it a trap, since what he said wasn't wrong.

However, Victor didn't tell this unfortunate guy that most of the energy fluctuations tested in the energy room were not very harmonious. They weren't necessarily harmful to the human body, but it was inevitable that he would feel dizzy, nauseous, and want to vomit for two or three days after the test.

However, Jemin had no intention of exposing the guy's true colors, since there was no deep-seated hatred between them.
