Wizard: Starting with Symbiosis with Algae

Some birds are destined not to be caged, for every feather of theirs shines with the light of freedom.

Who said that again? Lynn wondered, still half-asleep.

The flames of burning hydrogen flickered on the experimental bed, and a pale blue light shone above it.

The pure water produced by the combustion slid down the cooling pipe and smoothly reached his mouth.

Lynn smacked her lips; the water tasted sweet and slightly warm.

Just like freedom and life...

That admirable will.

Lynn realized she had been asleep for a long time, so she twisted her spine, opened her eyes, and got up.

Enclosed and sweaty – that's the environment inside the ship.

He couldn't open the door, so he looked around in the limited space, intending to find a good place to sit down.

He glanced at it from afar to near. Parts were scattered all over the ground, and Lynn took a big step in the low gravity environment to avoid the sharp objects.

Unexpectedly, with a loud bang, I almost slipped and fell.

He stroked the wall, puzzled.

This.

It went to heaven?

Lynn touched the window, and a voice came from the black box inside the experimental station.

"Wizard's Navigation Guide reminds you that you are entering the following route: Knight World 23 - Steam World rt08 - Enrollment Hotline."

"Notice: The dedicated line is experiencing a disruption and is not operating normally. Please disconnect as soon as possible."

The academy did not send anyone, but they still noticed the two's whereabouts.

This demonstrates the college's efficiency.

Then, the lingering strength in my body surged up like a tidal wave.

Exhausted. Like being drunk for three days and three nights straight, then being thrown into a scalding hot spring to mature.

Lynn took a deep breath, and a notification appeared in front of him:

[Symphalized, scaled pike]

[Heatwire Apparatus: Consumes a large amount of magic power to melt metals, non-metals, inorganic substances, and organic substances at unparalleled high temperatures. Also possesses a strong magical penetration effect.]

Plankton: They can levitate in the air with minimal energy expenditure and provide a certain degree of enhancement to basic physical strength.

[Heartstring Fluctuation: Consumes a small amount of magic power to slightly fluctuate the target's nerves. The more blurred or lower the target's consciousness, the better the effect.]

Lynn suddenly realized that he had almost fainted before the symbiotic scaled pike. The fact that the symbiotic relationship involved the fish paying for nutrients was practically a certainty.

Unlike the symbiotic flying sticks from before, this flying stick has a complete body; it only needs to be detoxified.

The scaled pike, however, was different. It was larger and consumed energy more rapidly, making it the first truly formidable enemy Lynn encountered.

Lynn never considered letting the symbiotic pike go; they both went all out, but Lynn was a cut above the rest, so he was now extremely exhausted.

This was Lynn's respect for its fighting ability, a necessary path, and fortunately, Lynn's respect is now being rewarded.

A massive, scarlet life force was now coursing through his body.

Although I felt weak, it was so refreshing, so incredibly refreshing.

The scaled pike was defeated by Lynn in that almost absurdly dramatic way only because it was malnourished and its magic was exhausted.

In his prime, the sheer oppressive aura of that crimson body piercing the sky would have been enough to make him unable to even muster the courage to look directly at it.

His abilities have at least reached a new level.

Lynn was secretly delighted.

However, to be honest, he was a little hesitant to look at his current stamina level.

He squinted and saw the zero at the beginning.

【0.?】

Lynn paused for a moment.

What a thrilling battle!

This time, I need to return to the Wizarding World to find a way to greatly increase my stamina.

It seems that the supplies from the Alchemy Academy are more suitable for him than those from the Herbal Academy.

In fact, he had long been a member of the alchemy school.

Lynn thought to herself.

A hand waved in front of him, and Qiao smiled:

"Oh, Lynn, you're awake. The surgery was a success."

Ruby, who had just woken up and was standing to the side with her arms crossed, rolled her eyes and said, "Joe, that's enough. Lynn is our hero."

Joe intends to portray himself as a "disabled but determined" wizard and begins to deliberately practice his sense of humor.

He chuckled and retracted his half-metallic leg, rubbing it on his clothes.

What he didn't know was that a sense of humor belongs to the realm of geniuses; one percent of people possess 101 percent of a sense of humor, while the remaining 99 percent are still lacking one percent.

"Hey, we've finally escaped danger, we can relax a bit now."

Lynn propped himself up against the bulkhead and sat up.

The spaceship was moving extremely smoothly, with almost no bumps. Ahead, a small tugboat, about the size of a washing machine, was pulling the test station with a thin rope, slowly heading towards a brightly lit area.

The word "pioneer" was engraved above the small tugboat.

It's more reassuring than Joe's comical face.

Clearly, they were saved by the Frontier Hotline, and now all they need to do is consider the results of their campaign.

"Where's the scaled pike?"

Lynn asked

Ruby pulled a dead, scaled pike out of the insulated room.

Its scarlet shell has faded.

She patted the pike's eyes, and a stream of yellow liquid spurted out of its pupils.

"It's here."

"We were so worried when you went down with the survivor. You were hanging on the edge of the flight platform and almost couldn't get back up, but luckily I had the idea to launch you twice."

The so-called double throw is to throw oneself twice in mid-air using the wizard's hand.

It fills the gap that ordinary humans cannot lift themselves up.

"Thank you so much." Lynn rubbed her stomach.

Ruby said

"That's really too dangerous. Even a normal level three wizard apprentice couldn't do it."

Joe interrupted

"Normally, a level three wizard apprentice can't lead a pioneering expedition. We joined forces—yes, we defeated the strongest creature on that planet together—so there's no reason for the pioneering hotline to keep blocking us."

Lynn looked up. "Let's join forces then," he thought, not intending to think too far ahead.

"That's really good, Joe, Ruby, you both did a great job."

Do you have fries?

He was still troubled by a sense of physical deprivation.

She had an upset stomach, which made her sympathetic nervous system very uncomfortable.

Despite having coexisted with the pike, it became the nominal strongest being on the planet.

How can we live without enough to eat?

Seeing Lynn's expression, Ruby knocked on the hatch and handed her a pink energy bar.

Its surface is pink, and you can smell a faint, sweet, fishy odor when you get close.

"Wrigley protein bars. These are a specialty of the culinary world of Clorens."

"kindness?"

Lynn stared at the pink, rod-like object with a fierce look in his eyes.

Before leaving the wilderness, they ate worm protein bars. After leaving the wilderness, they continued to eat worm protein bars.

Wouldn't that have been a wasted flight?

This is unacceptable.

..

silence

silence

Swallowed.

A few minutes later, Lynn, who was starving, chose "eat" over "not eat".

He said

"At least have some potatoes. Even just a small piece."

He vowed never to touch a protein bar again after leaving Dune Planet.

"Where did you get these from? Can't you get some more potatoes from there?"

Ruby pointed to the small trailer with its flashing lights outside the window.

"Lynn, are you someone who prioritizes enjoyment?"

"Look, there it is, the guy leading our boat outside."

Lynn nodded seriously.

"That's right. That's exactly who I am."

Just then, the small trailer in front flashed its lights and beeped to signal its presence.

Lynn asked in confusion:

"Then why not just pick us up and give us some things? There's really no need for that."

Perhaps in response to Lynn's question,

The small trailer ahead, though unmanned, paused after a few minutes and turned back to give the group a heads-up.

"Wizard's Navigation Treasure, reminding you."

"You are about to enter the security checkpoint. To ensure your safety and improve our efficiency, please do not insert any unidentified alien creatures into your body..."

Lynn looked down at her stomach.

Then, expressionless, he silently put the protein bar into his mouth.

Strawberry flavor, dry and crunchy.

You know what, it actually smells pretty good.

The small trailer crossed a threshold, and Lynn and his companions were now above the Wizarding World. It prompted them again...

"You are about to enter the plague checkpoint. To ensure your safety and improve our efficiency, please do not attempt to hide from other planetary creatures..."
