Wizard: This mushroom is too fierce.

The process of creating the hand cannon Puji was quite tortuous. Roland's original idea was to create a Puji similar to the floating jet mushroom, which could directly spew bubbles. However, during the experiment, he found that Puji was not a magical plant after all, and could not be quickly mobilized during the magical conversion process.

Therefore, Roland opted for a less desirable approach, only modifying part of the fungal body. Roland first used his knowledge of plant science and bloodline modification to transform the mycelium inside Puji's body into a form that could adapt to the operation of magic.

Afterwards, by referring to the experiment of flesh and blood proliferation, the fungal cannon tube was cultivated in one direction and connected to the body of the Puji through grafting. Then, by continuously casting the "grass and tree growth" spell, it was rapidly iterated and finally a hand cannon Puji was created.

It's essentially a weaker version of the Floating Jet-shroom that can fire on its own without Roland's control.

However, due to the low level of modification and Roland's lack of relevant knowledge, the hand cannon cannot be fired too many times. After about ten shots, it must be stopped and rested in the sun for a day before it can be fired again.

Its power is not high, with only 0.1 ring of kinetic energy. It may be difficult to deal with knights, but it is easy to deal with knight squires who are only physically strong but have not yet mastered battle aura.

"You did very well... Irina." Roland took the ring, feeling the large amount of liquid stored inside, nodded, then lowered his head, his gaze slightly lowered, and said softly, "How is it? Is your position in the Gray family secure?"

"Do you need me to step in and support you?"

Roland and Irina's collaboration began with the last letter from their families. Since then, the two have put aside their past grievances and each got what they needed. Roland helped Irina gain a foothold in the Grey family and advance further, while Irina used the Grey family's connections and the Duke of Bauhinia's status in the mortal world to contribute to Roland's wizarding career and the development of the Colt family.

Irina relaxed, raised an eyebrow slightly, and replied with a smile, "Hehe..."

"Don't you know my methods? I only need to use your name to completely control the situation."

"Old Gray is too old and doesn't concern himself with family affairs anymore, and my fiancé, Coleman, is a good-for-nothing."

"Plus, given our well-known relationship..." Irina paused deliberately, "who would dare to cause me trouble?"

Roland remained calm and said nothing more. He stretched out his hand and took out a large batch of seeds from his spatial ring: "Then it'll be a pleasure cooperating with you..."

"These are the next few batches of Puji seeds. Please send someone to plant them for me and then deliver them to my residence."

"I need to go out tomorrow to carry out a mission assigned by the academy, and my return time is uncertain. If there is any letter from my father, you can check it for me."

"If you encounter a problem that you can't solve, take my Puji to Olivia."

"She recently passed the potion master assistant exam and has built up a lot of connections. She will solve all your problems."

After Roland finished speaking, he pointed out some problems that Irina had recently encountered during meditation.

After receiving some pointers, Irina felt enlightened and couldn't help but smile as she left.

Inside the carriage outside the courtyard, Irina's fiancé, Coleman, sat sullenly, staring at Irina's graceful figure: "It's always the same..."

"He always has this expression when he comes to Roland's place."

"I..." Coleman really wanted to teach his fiancée a lesson, but when he thought of the terrifying strength Roland displayed when he won the championship, as well as his complicated network of connections, he couldn't muster the courage.

Furthermore, after Irina gained Roland's favor, she quickly established herself in the family and won over many people. For a time, he, the heir apparent of the Grey family, seemed like a son-in-law.

"Irina..." After Irina returned, Corleman hesitated for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "Could you dress more simply in the future? You are, after all, my fiancée. Entering a male wizard's residence alone like this..."

Irina glanced at Coleman with disdain and said irritably, "It's all because of you, you good-for-nothing..."

"If you had Roland's abilities and became a wizarding prospect for the academy, would I still need to dress up so extravagantly?"

After hearing this, Corleyman fell silent. He reached out his hand, wanting to grab Irina's wrist to prove himself...

"Go away..." Irina frowned and quickly slapped his hand away.

......

The next morning, Roland took a carriage to the college's public library.

The public library is located in the core area of ​​the college and has two floors. The first floor is a free public area where students are allowed to read books.

The first layer employs automated services. Here, whether it's borrowing books from the college or organizing and returning books, it's all handled by these intelligent puppets that resemble giant bees.

Roland's destination was not here. He stepped onto the stairs and arrived at the door on the second floor.

On the second floor, a male wizard dressed in a white robe sat in a chair, intently flipping through a book, while behind his head, a small, virtual library was constantly operating.

A wizard of the generalist school!

Roland immediately recalled the relevant knowledge in his mind.

In the society of white wizards, wizards of the generalist school are usually librarians, each of them a walking library.

Roland even once read in an ancient book that this school of thought was created to prevent the discontinuity of civilization and the loss of a great deal of knowledge.

What kind of enemy could cause a break in the civilization of the Wizarding World?

Roland didn't know, but he found it very interesting and was extremely curious. If he dissected such a powerful enemy, would he be able to grasp its powerful secrets?

Regaining his composure, Roland approached the white-robed wizard and respectfully presented him with the article he had written.

"Please pay ten magic stones as a fee. The Education Committee will notify you whether the article has passed their review."

The white-robed wizard didn't raise his head. The illusory library behind him continued to rustle. Roland silently put down the article and ten magic stones, then left.

Article review and evaluation take time, ranging from one to three days depending on the length of the article.

Roland will be setting off for the underground world tomorrow to complete the academy's assessment mission. I'll probably find out his specific level when he returns.

He believed that the final grade he would receive would be C. If it was C, Roland wanted to exchange it for an article about the direction of plant modification, which would be helpful for him to expand his ideas on Puji modification.

As dusk approached, the white-robed wizard stretched, and the illusory library behind him made a dull thud before closing heavily.

His gaze fell to the article: "An Observational Report on Plant Life."

The name was rather hasty, and the first-circle wizard of the Generalist school had a very bad first impression of the article, because there were far too many articles like this in the past of the Deep Caverns.

"what?"

"Interdisciplinary Experiments on Plant Science and Bloodline Modification..."

"That's interesting..."
