Wizard: I brought the wrong system...

Chapter 101 Doubt

Watching Desi's flustered departure, Yaro felt a strange sense of foreboding.

Could it be... that he is a spy for the Black Hand?

Yaro couldn't help but suspect something; Desi's reaction was far too exaggerated. Upon hearing 'Bosco's' reaction, Desi was like a mouse seeing a cat, his expression flustered. He hurriedly said, "I have some things to do," and ran away in a hurry.

Yaro stared blankly at the retreating figure with deep, unwavering eyes.

Could it be you?

After hearing and seeing too many melodramatic stories, most people develop a habit that's hard to say whether it's good or bad... paranoia.

Yarrow was unwilling to believe this conjecture, but undeniably, he began to suspect Desi.

Moreover, with his mother's fate unknown and no news of his father, coupled with Desi's strange behavior, Yarrow couldn't help but think even more deeply.

What is it about me that you'd want to pry into?

"Did you call me to Owl Academy? Is it a trap?"

"Is Senior Delia the one who was assigned to be my eyes and ears?"

Will Keitahn be one of your plans?

A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole!

When the foundation of trust is shaken, everything built upon that foundation will be questioned.

"Yaro, I did it!"

The girl's excited and joyful voice startled Yaro from his thoughts.

Yaro snapped out of her daze, smiled slightly, and nodded politely in congratulations: "Congratulations, senior."

"Great! I've finally joined the ranks of the extraordinary. Now I can freely enter and exit strange spaces with you, and I can also learn those dazzling magic tricks."

"I no longer have to worry about being thrown out of the academy and drifting aimlessly on this vast continent."

"Yaro, I'm so happy!"

Senior Delia said a lot in one breath.

Looking at that familiar youthful face, Yaro's tense heart began to waver.

Delia is so good to me, how can I put her in the category of questionable people just because of Desi's slight oddness?

"Yaro, I've prepared a lot of ingredients. Let's have a celebration today!" Senior Dia suggested excitedly.

Yaro smiled and shook his head: "Senior, you've only just become aware of your own spiritual power. The important thing now is to stabilize it. Don't waste time doing anything to celebrate."

"Go back and meditate properly. I'm going to the library to check out the books on the list."

As he said this, Yaro also reminded himself silently.

"A certain level of vigilance is necessary, but it shouldn't be displayed outwardly; that would only hurt others."

No matter how sensitive you are, it won't solve the key problem. Only by improving and strengthening yourself can you face the storms without fear.

"Strengthening ourselves is an ongoing process."

The cooldown period for entering and exiting the eerie space is a whole day. Yaro left the Blood Forest too late the day before yesterday, which caused him to enter and exit even later yesterday.

If I try to go in again today, I'll be out in the early hours of tomorrow. It's better to rest today and use the time to organize the knowledge on the slip of paper, recall what I already know, and copy down and study what I don't know.

Ideally, one should design a set of moves, compile them into a skill book, and spend a small amount of skill points to learn them quickly, showcasing one's extraordinary talent and attracting the attention of Wizard Bosco.

Having made his decision, Yaro bid farewell to Senior Delia.

……

"Aaaaaah!"

Heart-wrenching screams echoed at the edge of the misty alternate dimension. The mist surged and split into wisps, precisely merging into the facial features of the figure no matter how painfully it writhed on the ground.

The figure cried out in a pitiful plea. The intense pain caused him to sweat profusely, his clothes soaked with sweat. He rolled around, flattening the grass, and his body was covered with countless blades of grass. Soil flew everywhere, and a brownish stain, whether mud or blood, smeared onto his dough.

He screamed in heart-wrenching pain, pleaded with tears streaming down his face, cried out in despair and grief, praying for even the slightest chance of survival.

"Please, let me go! Please...please let me go!"

In the mist, two beautiful figures remained motionless, coldly watching the ground.

It's like watching a comedy that's not funny at all.

The voluptuous figure suddenly spoke up, instructing, "Amy, don't rely solely on human control magic. If you really want to control others, it's best to treat human control magic as a supplementary spell."

"Unleash his mind, use human control techniques to restrict his way of thinking, and then his mind will grow according to your wishes. Given enough time, you can cultivate countless loyal subordinates."

A beautiful voice asked in confusion, "Mother, if that's the case, then why are you now forcibly enslaving this intermediate apprentice?"

"If you forcefully break through his mental defenses like this, won't his strength be greatly weakened? What use will he be then?"

Alice took a step forward, looked at Desi lying unconscious on the ground, and said coldly, "Whether someone is useful or not doesn't just depend on their strength. Often, their identity can be quite valuable."

"His identity?" Amy asked, puzzled. "What's the use of his identity? To get close to Yaro?"

"Don't dwell on such trivial matters," Alice said, looking down at the figure on the ground. "Since Yaro and Bosco are in contact, let's ignore him. We have more important things to do."

Alice said, "It's about your recovery."

Amy said, "Aren't we still short of materials for the recovery?"

"We've almost finished preparing the high-end materials. What we're lacking now is a large quantity of low-grade materials," Alice looked up at Amy, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly. "The seeds I sowed two years ago have already reached the Crimson Wizarding Guild, and they'll be making their move soon."

"The new school year is about to begin, and the academy will send many official wizards to recruit students. This is an opportunity for the Crimson Wizarding Guild, and it is also our best opportunity."

"Desi is a qualified wizard apprentice who can accompany the ship. With him as an inside man, we can bring back enough materials for us."

"In recent years, the other intermediate wizard apprentices I have gathered also have such aptitude. They have all undergone long-term mental training, so there is no need to worry about them betraying us in the short term."

Amy asked doubtfully, "But even if they all qualify to board the ship, once they arrive, they'll be reassigned to different colleges. How many of them will actually end up in our college?"

Alice chuckled, "Amy, we're not selecting apprentices. We just need materials. Once they board the Owl Academy's ship, the cowards will be dragged back to the Owl Academy. As long as we have enough cowards, we'll have enough materials."

Amy asked worriedly, "Can't we just buy low-grade materials anywhere? Do we really need to take this risk?"

Alice: "While low-grade materials can be purchased freely, we have no legitimate reason to bring them back to the academy."

"With a large influx of low-grade materials into this space, all our daily activities may be exposed. The things we have done before will not be tolerated by the academy. Once exposed, all our plans will fail."

"We only have one chance; we can't be too careful!"
