Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 686 Williams with 800 Magic Pressure and the Opponents of the Silent Holy Grail
At Bonifacius University, the expressionless Georgina Witch, wearing a wooden mask, walks alongside the Diana Witch beside the university's beautiful lake.

The witch Diana gave her a bottle of hand cream made by a potion master, and the witch Georgina said to Diana, "Thank you, Diana."

“It’s always been like this; you can always see what I need.”

The witch Diana laughed and said, "It's just a bottle of hand cream. Besides, I fell into that professor's hands as soon as I entered Bonifacius University. If it weren't for you helping me contact the Dean, all the complaint letters I sent would probably have gone unnoticed and ended up in that professor's hands."

“You have been a great help to me. And I am only repaying you, Georgina… You are a very good wizard. Don’t care about what others think, you are an excellent magic weaver…”

"you are you."

Beneath the wooden mask, Georgina the Witch's eyes revealed a hint of sadness as she sat down in the pavilion, gazing at the shimmering lake.

A student carrying a book walked past her, and upon seeing the two official wizards from Boniface University, he immediately bowed and left.

Georgina the Witch said, “Diana, you’re wrong. Look at that lake, isn’t it beautiful? The water of this lake flows from a much larger river, and the source of that water comes from the Land of the Great Barrier.”

“We are not just individuals; we are also children of parents, students or teachers at school.”

“My parents destroyed the college’s property, and they are heinous criminals.”

The witch Diana hesitated, then stopped. "Georgina, listen to me… I mean, your parents did betray the Academy, betray the White Wizarding Guild, and joined the Twin Demon Realms. But you didn't really know them. Perhaps they didn't betray you?"

"Perhaps you can look at it from a different perspective; at least they are qualified parents?"

The pupils beneath the wooden mask instantly filled with rage as she glared at the witch Diana. "Stealing the academy's assets is dishonest; allowing students to be hunted by dark wizards is unjust; betraying the academy is unwise; choosing to steal instead of researching is unlearned."

"None of the eight moral principles of the wizarding world can be followed."

"What more is there to say about such a person?"

"In my eyes, these two are just dark wizards, nothing more than dark wizards, nothing less than dark wizards."

Georgina the Witch said in a cold tone, "I have only one attitude towards dark wizards—trash should go back to the trash can."

"I must win the championship in this Great Magic Modeling Competition and prove myself to everyone."

"Whether it's articles, awards, or competitions, I have to do my best. Only in this way can I tell everyone else that I am a white wizard."

Georgina the Witch changed her tone, "Diana, my dear friend, let's not talk about this anymore. What's done is done, there's no need to say more."

"I'm exhausted from training with the team leader today. Let's talk about something else. I've seen the list of participants for this competition. I know that participant from Storm Tower, and I'm familiar with him."

“We met at a seminar before.”

“But there are two contestants this time that I really don’t recognize,” said Georgina the witch. “They both seem to be wizards from outside the area.”

"That's really strange. In previous years, the participants in the Silent Holy Grail Tournament were mostly local wizards, and upon closer examination, their ancestors were all second-ring wizards, or even third-ring wizards."

The witch Diana laughed and said, "Oh, you mean Locke and Edgar."

“I’ve met both of them. Neither of their parents should be wizards. Edgar and Locke are different from us; they don’t come from a wizarding family.”

“I had a conversation with Locke when I was an exchange student at Mount Golden Crown. Later, I met Edgar again when I went to Quinnjoll for the Laurel Breeding Symposium.”

Georgina the witch's eyes lit up slightly. "Then you must be very familiar with those two? What are their personalities like? What magic are they skilled in? Can you deduce what kind of powerful magic they can create?"

Diana the witch pursed her lips. "Ahem... Everything between wizards should be obtained through trade, you know."

“Georgina, take off your mask and I’ll tell you. Come to think of it, as your best friend, I’ve never even seen your true face.”

Georgina the witch immediately touched her wooden mask with her fingers. "You mean this? This won't do. Ever since my parents were tried by the Holy Wizard Court, I've worn this second-circle magical artifact. I don't want to live in this world with this face they gave me, unless I win the Grand Magic Modeling Contest and gain the world's approval."

"A new beginning".

"Only then can I take off this mask. Let's wear something else, Diana."

Diana the Witch frowned, then raised an eyebrow. "I was just kidding. It seems it won't be easy to finally see your true face."

“Georgina, there’s more to this than just a transaction; there’s also a personal connection. You’re my friend, so naturally I’ll do everything I can to help you…”

The witch Diana recounted what she knew about Locke and Edgar.

Georgina nodded slightly. "According to what you said, Wizard Edgar is skilled at reviving ancient tree people and has a large amount of magic related to the Tree of Life."

"And Locke is a breeder who is skilled in developing sea gold sand and moon magic?"

"Edgar is arrogant, but he pays attention to detail. Locke is easygoing, but he is actually very assertive."

A magical model appeared in Georgina's eyes, resembling an extremely complex magical lock that was constantly combining and then disassembling.

Georgina the Witch said to Diana, "Thank you, Diana. As a seer and weaver, once I have their information, I have a way to deal with them."

"Thank you so much, my good friend."

The witch Diana smiled, her eyes crinkling. "No need to thank me. It seems I get along quite well with them. So, I dare tell you this simply because I think they must have changed a lot in all this time."

“If they’re still stuck in the same place, then it’s no wonder they lost,” the witch Diana sighed. “I originally wanted to participate in the Silent Grail War, but unfortunately, it fell short of the individual sports festivals of each academy, so I couldn’t participate.”

"It was just bad luck, and it's also my fault for not understanding the rules."

"Or perhaps someone thought I was in their way, blocking someone's path, so they used the rules to move me away. By the time I realized something was wrong, it was too late," said Diana the Witch. "Georgina, you're my best friend. I hope you can make up for my regret of not being able to participate."

“Locke and Edgar are, in my opinion, the best opponents.” “To be able to play against them… I… envy you.”

Georgina the Witch said, “Diana… I understand. So, to pay tribute to your two good friends, I will use the information you gave me to defeat them both on the field, and then tell them that you were the one who told me this information.”

Diana's sadness vanished, replaced by a beaming smile. "Alright, I'll continue to predict their future together. This can be considered my way of dealing with them from afar."

"Your Destiny Weaving Magic System desperately needs detailed information..."

Georgina the Witch immediately sat up straight and listened attentively. "Please predict their upbringing for me, Diana."

……

At Quinnjoll University, in the spring of wisdom at the foot of Mount Holy Spring, the wizard Edgar walked in with an arrogant expression, head held high.

Two second-ring wizards, standing in the woods some distance from the spring, were whispering to each other as their team leaders.

"It's simply abnormal. This person's growth curve is completely broken. If it weren't for the investigation, I would have thought he was a reincarnation of a third-ring wizard."

"I've heard that among the young first-ring wizards of this generation at Golden Crown Mountain, there is a reincarnation of a third-ring wizard named Antoine."

"Antoine? That spendthrift? That good-for-nothing?"

"Yes, it's him. This person will be a formidable opponent in this competition. This competition is related to the enrollment quotas in several unclaimed territories for the next whole decade. If we don't rank well, we can foresee that we will lose at least twenty Elemental Children in the future."

"Those unclaimed lands have proven that, although they are small, resource-poor, and sparsely populated, they can produce geniuses. Those wizards who survive there and pass the various academy exams to enter our Yunze Wetland Academy are all geniuses among geniuses. In addition, they have a ruthless streak and are quite capable of producing results in the laboratory. Therefore, the academy's requirement for the rankings in the Silent Holy Grail Tournament is that they absolutely cannot be in the bottom two!"

"The academy also has a special reward. If a contestant wins first place and becomes the champion, the academy will allocate at least one-third of the Elemental Children obtained as a result to that wizard's cooperating mentor! You know, our Throne Wizard Teacher's faction really needs a large influx of fresh blood like this."

Another second-ring wizard glanced in Edgar's direction. "We're lucky we have Edgar. Among the young first-ring wizards of this generation, apart from him, none of the wizards we trained ourselves in the School of Truth can compare to the strength of a third-ring wizard reincarnation in terms of magical modeling."

"Heh, even without the strict requirements from the academy's higher-ups, Edgar himself wouldn't be able to accept getting the last two spots."

The second-ring wizard who spoke first laughed and said, "That's true. That's just his personality. I've gotten used to it over time. Although I thought he was arrogant at first, I later found him quite cute."

"By the way, we can arrange another top-level first-ring wizard's secret realm for Edgar before the competition. Also, advancing to second-ring wizard in the near future should be a relatively cost-effective thing. After all, we don't know what the voting results of the Cloud Marsh Wetland Wizard Council will be in a long time."

……

At Mount Jinmian, Locke was resting in his dormitory. He wasn't meditating anymore, since meditating at this juncture was practically suicide.

Locke drank a bottle of weakening potion and saw a message Daniel sent him on the Water Hyacinth System, indicating that his energy carrier, the mist, had yielded important results. If Locke was interested, he could bring back some of the results when he returned that evening.

Locke immediately indicated his need for the water hyacinth system.

It's like a pillow is given to you when you are sleepy.

At that moment, Locke heard a knock at the door, and when he opened it, he found it was the Witch Williams.

Locke was taken aback. "Williams, your magic pressure has reached 800?"

Locke had been focused on himself all this time and hadn't paid much attention to his two students.

I just give them some magic potions every now and then.

The Witch Williams bowed to Locke and said, "Teacher, I've come here to apply..."

Locke felt a little dazed, as if he were seeing his past interactions with the witch Sophia. "I know, you've come to see me to apply to the academy for an advancement potion, right?"

"can."

The recipe for the advancement potion is sealed by the Mysterious Heaven. Even though I can easily concoct an advancement potion at my current level, I am forbidden from deducing the recipe because I do not know it. Therefore, I can only apply to the academy.

Locke had no intention of reverse-engineering the potion's advancement, because so far, no dark wizard had dared to do so.

It's easy to see why no dark wizards have done it: those who did are all dead now.

The Witch Williams whispered, "In addition, I would like to purchase a bottle of Swarm Consciousness Potion from you."

Locke nodded, understandingly saying, "It seems you're determined to take the path of the Forest Sanctuary."

"Alright. In that case, I'll give you a bottle of Swarm Consciousness Potion. I'll contact some acquaintances in Dragonblood Market to see if they have any in stock."

The Witch Williams exclaimed in surprise, "How could I possibly accept this, teacher..."

Locke glanced at her. "Williams, you've always been a smart man, and I trust you completely."

"So, this Swarm Consciousness Potion is just a gift from me to you. Consider it a present from your teacher."

Williams said, "Thank you, teacher."

Locke pondered, "There's one more thing... never mind, let's talk about it after you become a full-fledged wizard."

Locke felt that her situation was different from Albert's, so he felt it inappropriate to suggest to Williams, before she became a formal wizard, whether they should use the Forest Alliance Charm to connect their Forest Sanctuary and form a Forest Alliance.

That would easily turn into you using your status to pressure her into agreeing.

She might be my first official wizard student, so I don't need to create such a rift between us. I should wait until she becomes an official wizard before asking her.

That way, there would be no suspicion that I was trying to control her.
