Wizard: You can become stronger by living life to the fullest.

Chapter 1 001: Starting from Scratch - The Wizard's Life

In the Wizarding World, in the endless sea, somewhere.

A lone three-masted sailboat drifted on the boundless sea, strangely moving about as if on flat ground amidst the turbulent waves.

This is a wizard ship belonging to the White Wizards Alliance of the Southern Coast. It is responsible for bringing back children under the age of 13 from the Visona Islands, thousands of miles away, who have been discovered by wizards to have wizarding potential, to the Alliance for training.

A thin mist drifted on the sea in the early morning; a storm had just passed last night, and the temperature was still quite cold.

The apprentices, who usually slept in, got up unusually early today and began leaving their cabins for the deck.

The voyage, which lasted for more than a month, was about to end. As is customary, before disembarking, the wizard Seno would conduct a mental strength test on the apprentices to assess their progress in their training during their time on the ship.

The apprentices had different expressions; some were full of confidence and anticipation, while others looked helpless and nervous.

As early as when they boarded the ship and were taught meditation techniques, the wizard Seno warned them that this test would be closely related to their future prospects and destiny.

Those with excellent grades can join better wizarding organizations with abundant resources and a smooth path to becoming wizards. Conversely, those with poor grades will be assigned to small wizarding organizations with scarce resources, making their future path difficult.

Luo Xi came to the deck, grabbed the railing, and looked around at the sea.

As a transmigrator who had only been in this world for a few days, this was his first time leaving the cabin, and everything in front of him felt very new.

"A wooden sailboat can sail this far? And it doesn't even feel the slightest turbulence in the giant waves? Is this the power of magic?"

Luo Xi felt increasingly interested in this strange and unfamiliar world. If he could master supernatural powers, then time travel wouldn't be so bad.

Especially since his time-traveling journey was accompanied by a cheat code.

Host: Roshi Herat.

Attributes: Strength 0.6, Agility 0.8, Constitution 0.5, Spirit 0.5.

Current available timeframe: 32 days.

Looking at the virtual projection panel that had appeared out of thin air in front of him, Luo Xi took a deep breath.

"Complete a deep breath and trigger a critical hit, adding 1 day to the time limit."

"Current available timeframe: 33 days."

The strange system works by giving Rosie a chance to gain time points no matter what she does, as long as she tries her best. These time points can then be used for learning, cultivation, and so on.

After several days of hard work, including this recent effort to breathe deeply, Luo Xi has accumulated 33 days' worth of time points. He plans to use them all before the assessment to give himself a boost in the upcoming test.

"Should we dedicate 33 days to practicing the 'Apprentice Basic Meditation Method'?"

"Yes."

You began practicing meditation, working tirelessly day and night, neglecting sleep and meals.

Thirty-three days have passed, and your mental strength has improved.

[Mental Strength +0.3.]

A unique energy surged into Luo Xi's mental sea, making the mist-like mental energy that permeated his sea of ​​consciousness much denser.

Luo Xi unconsciously narrowed his eyes. Although he was mentally prepared, such an improvement still filled him with surprise.

It was only a fleeting moment, yet it felt as if I had truly cultivated day and night for over thirty days.

He looked at the system data panel: Mental strength 0.8.

When he boarded the ship, his mental strength was assessed at 0.3. After a month of hard work, it increased by 0.2, and now it has increased by another 0.3, for a total increase of 0.5 in mental strength.

With this, achieving good results shouldn't be a problem, right?

"The wizard has arrived!"

"grown ups!"

"Everyone, stand still! Don't cause trouble for the wizard!"

Just then, a commotion arose on the deck, and the crowd quickly parted to make way along the gangway. A middle-aged man was then seen walking along this path.

He had a large, hooked nose and was shrouded in a gray-black cloak, exuding an air of mystery from head to toe.

This was Seno, the wizard who was in charge of their voyage.

The wizard Seno looks to be around forty years old, but he is said to be over ninety. Wizards live much longer than ordinary people, and some wizards who look quite young may actually be older than their grandmothers.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the wizard Seno quickly arrived at the very front of the deck, where the ship's sailors had already set up a low table with a crystal ball and a notebook on it.

The wizard Seno sat down at the table and then said succinctly, "Let's begin."

The apprentices quickly lined up under the sailors' guidance, and the first apprentice to be tested stepped forward.

This is a little girl wearing a lace-trimmed dress. Her fair swan neck and burgundy hair stand out among a group of ordinary-looking children.

"Greetings, Wizard Seno, I am Nicole of Osiris." She lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed in a noble manner.

"Hurry up and put your hand on it," Seno urged.

Nicole placed her two small hands on the large crystal ball, her face showing great tension.

The apprentices' eyes all turned to look.

A cloud of grayish-black mist rose from the center of the large crystal ball, quickly coalescing into a line of text:

Mental strength 0.5, original mental strength 0.2, increased by 0.3, score 75 points.

"0.3 is amazing!"

"A score of 75 is already quite high, isn't it?"

A murmur rippled through the apprentices, and their gazes toward the girl were now tinged with envy.

When they boarded the ship, they heard from the wizard Seno that improving mental strength by 0.3 in just over a month was already quite remarkable, and a score of 75 was the best proof of that.

Such results mean that, apart from the most powerful wizarding organizations on the South Coast, the rest can basically get through without any obstacles.

Wizard Seno nodded slightly: "Not bad."

The girl's smile grew even brighter after receiving a positive evaluation from the usually taciturn wizard, Seno. She happily bowed and left.

"Increase by 0.2, rating 60."

"Increase by 0.1, rating 35."

"Increased by 0.3, rating 80"

Most apprentices increased their mental strength by less than 0.3, with scores ranging from 20 to 30 to 50 or 60. Only a handful scored above 70, and there was only one above 80.

This is a very tall boy, and judging from his clothes, he doesn't seem to come from a wealthy family.

Normally, a boy like this would not attract any attention, but at this moment, he caused a stir, and even the noble lady cast her gaze at him.

"Hey? Joshua? What's he doing here? Isn't he exempt from the test?"

Just then, a boy with rare gray eyes came onto the deck, immediately sparking discussion among the apprentices.

This is Joshua, the most talented among them, possessing a fourth-class talent even rarer than his pupils.

According to the wizard Seno, wizards divide apprentices' talents into five grades, with grade one being the lowest and grade five being the highest. The better the talent, the higher the training efficiency.

Joshua usually lived on the top deck next to the wizard Seno, so no one could see him. Now that he was here, everyone couldn't help but be curious.

After all, with his fourth-class talent, he was already preordained to go to Elemental Castle, the most powerful wizarding organization on the South Coast, so he shouldn't have needed to take the test at all.

Upon seeing Joshua, the wizard Seno's eyes softened with a hint of warmth, and he asked with a puzzled look, "Joshua, what brings you here?"

Joshua raised his left hand to his chest in a gesture of respect and said, "Master, I would also like to see my progress in cultivation."

Wizard Seno pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Very well."

He naturally let Joshua cut in line, and the apprentices who were originally waiting to be tested also tactfully stepped aside.

Joshua stepped forward and placed one hand on the crystal ball.

The apprentices' eyes all turned to look at it.

At this moment, everyone was curious about how much this genius had improved, and how much the gap was between the so-called fourth-class talent and theirs.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, wisps of grayish-black mist rapidly rose from within the crystal ball, twisting and changing before finally revealing itself:

Mental strength 0.8, original mental strength 0.3, increased by 0.5, score 98 points!

"Hiss~"

"00.5 mental strength, 998 points!"

"That's outrageous!"

The apprentices were clearly shocked; the highest level detected before was only 0.3, but Joshua's was almost twice as high.

They all boarded the ship together to begin their training, yet in just over a month he had managed to create such a huge gap in skill. For the apprentices present, this was quite a shock.

Even the wizard Seno exclaimed, "What an amazing fourth-class talent! No matter how many times, such a genius can never help but inspire envy."

Everyone was discussing it enthusiastically, but Joshua himself remained expressionless. After bowing, he prepared to return to his cabin.

However, the wizard Seno stopped him and said with a smile, "Since you're out here, why not soak up some sun? You can't stay cooped up in the cabin all the time. The wizarding world isn't just about cultivation."

Joshua hesitated for a moment, then nodded and stood next to the wizard Seno.

Testing continues.

The next few apprentices performed mediocrely without much flair, and soon it was Luo Xi's turn.

The test was nearing its end, and the long testing time was making the wizard, Seno, a little impatient. He kept taking out his pocket watch to check the time.

Rosie walked up and greeted him, but the wizard Seno ignored her, simply pointing at the crystal ball without looking up.

Rosie then placed her hand on the crystal ball. Facing such supernatural power for the first time, she was somewhat nervous.

Calmly and intently, he looked at the crystal ball with a serious expression.

"Completed a test, resulting in a critical hit, time added 3 days."

The first thing that sounded was a system notification.

At the same time, the gray-black mist inside the crystal ball twisted and changed, quickly condensing into a cluster of characters.

"Go downstairs after the test is finished."

As he spoke, the wizard Seno looked up and glanced at the crystal ball as usual.

But then, his eyes changed.

But the crystal ball clearly displayed:

Mental strength 0.8, original mental strength 0.3, increased by 0.5, score 98 points!
