Wizard: Starting with Symbiosis with Algae

"But Klein? Is there really no danger? And why are we the two of us together? Where are your colleagues? Aren't we waiting for Lynn?"

In the past few days, Joe has contacted Lynn, and Lynn has also received the news.

Since you share a common goal, there are definitely more benefits to traveling together.

His mentor also told him that the little ironmen from the Alchemy Institute who worked with boiler spirits didn't get along with the bunch of ironmen from the Atmosphere Conversion Institute.

But what does that have to do with Joe, one of his great "three explorers"?

As long as Lynn agrees, that's all that matters.

Klein turned around with some displeasure and pulled Joe's wheelchair toward the entrance of the passage.

"Hey Joe, there were only three of you when you accomplished your pioneering feat. This mission is simple; the monsters we encounter will be at the level of a wizard apprentice. The two of us will be enough."

"Will there be any unexpected problems?"

Joe was somewhat puzzled. The young man in the suit in front of him had his internal rating soar after the news of Lynn's deeds was reported in advance.

If you get involved in one or two more major news stories, you can be promoted to a junior management position, with the same treatment as a level three wizard apprentice.

Are there really only gamblers and gamblers whose potential hasn't been unlocked in this world?

Klein wagged his tail beside Joe and spoke in a seductive tone.

"Joe, look at your explosive biceps and magnificent triceps."

As he said this, he touched Qiao's dark metallic calves.

"And your detachable thighs. Even the leaders and professors at the Mirror Daily say you're the closest to a level two apprentice—a level three apprentice. Don't you want to prove yourself?"

Joe shook his hand, revealing a silver bracelet on his wrist, and asked in return:

"Isn't that right?"

Klein choked for a moment and said:

"very good!"

"Joe! Then don't hesitate, let me see how your invincible disintegration technique will tear this monster apart."

Disintegrate is a superior version of Minor Disintegrate, with a longer casting range and shorter casting interval compared to Minor Disintegrate.

Joe just finished his surgery yesterday and has now mastered this spell.

Unexpectedly, Klein, who was standing right in front of me, also knew about it.

This guy has an amazing nose.

"No, it's for alchemy."

"Even ignoring those damn spells, your muscles are screaming! How can you survive without fighting! Explore, conquer, and then make yourself..."

Joe's eyes widened, and he pushed the wheelchair. To be honest, he was convinced.

To make the most of this new body, it will take some time; exploration and combat are the fastest ways.

Joe pushed the metal wheelchair, and the two descended from the passageway.

Yellow sand swirled, dust billowed, and their vision gradually cleared.

【Magic 2.85】

Endurance 2.9 Strength 3.6 Agility 2.0

The top floor of the building outside the black market. The bathhouse had been cleaned up by Lynn.

After Lynn crammed all the clutter into one of the rooms, there was finally some space in the hall.

While making himself some coffee, Lynn flipped through the information about Edranor herbs and the third-level wizard apprentices enrolled in the academy.

With a magic power of 2.85, you are very close to a level 3 wizard apprentice. Once you become a level 3 wizard apprentice, you can try to master the advanced applications of meditation.

Lynn only learned after coming to the academy that the so-called "fourth-level wizard apprentice" between a third-level wizard apprentice and a full wizard is just a conventional term.

The entire third-level apprenticeship is a transformative period. In official terms, a fourth-level wizard apprentice is equivalent to the midpoint between becoming a full-fledged wizard.

A small number of people also refer to wizards who have reached 75% progress as Level 5 wizard apprentices.

The only difference lies in the amount of progress, and the standard for measuring progress is most likely the amount of magic power increased.

Because the danger wasn't directly revealed to the advanced apprentices, Lynn didn't know much about it.

However, what to call someone is not something Lynn needs to consider right now.

After spending almost all of his magic stones and keeping only some for daily use, Lynn's improvement was remarkable.

"That makes sense. It's strange, agility didn't increase at all this time. Only strength did."

Endurance represents the body's nutrition and resilience.

Strength determines the body's power and strength, while agility determines the body's speed, balance, and coordination.

Lynn's physique became slightly bulkier, but the disproportion of his muscles did not increase due to prolonged immersion in the nutrient solution.

"But this is normal. Most athletes on Earth have only a small amount of muscle, and are strong and capable. Large muscles are purely a side effect of certain sports on coordination."

As for magic

Unlike any previous increase in magic power, this surge gave Lynn a feeling of intense heat.

Lynn sensed that his body was radiating heat.

Other magical objects, including flying rods and large blue-light algae, also emitted heat.

But all he could know was whether it existed or not; everything else remained a mystery.

Lynn tried several times, staring intently at the steam.

Each time, all I could see were large clumps of cotton-like stuff.

As for how they move, how they move, and who the two sides of the flow are, Lynn couldn't see clearly.

Lynn suspected that the heat emanating from his body might affect the symbiotic organism.

So he tried many more times.

After his search proved fruitless, Lynn rubbed his temples.

"Forget it, if we can't see it now, then we can't investigate it now."

Since there's no other way, let's put it aside for a while.

.....

Lynn ate some steak and corn to tide her over.

His spirits gradually became a little high as he drank coffee and took the college medicine.

He began to inspect the body.

To Lynn's surprise,

"The biggest gain this time was not even the change in physical attributes."

After completing the symbiosis with the sweat mimicry insect, his body surface was evenly covered with a layer of transparent fluid about five millimeters thick.

The substance clung to his skin, almost imperceptible when he was still. But with any movement, he could feel the fluid swaying.

It flows slightly as the muscles relax and contract, like sweat secreted by the skin suddenly having the ability to breathe and move.

In the reproduction of organisms, bigger is better, bigger is more beautiful.

This mimicry insect is large enough that, in addition to the magic storage that Lynn had envisioned before the symbiosis, its size gives it extra abilities.

Lynn observed the interaction between algae, flying rods, and sweat bugs, gripping his coffee cup tightly, a surge of joy in his heart.

"This sweat bug has actually become an extension of my body."

Lynn's body surface was originally mainly occupied by large blue-light algae. If not deliberately controlled, under normal circumstances, the tetrad algae would be completely eaten by the blue-light algae.

If sunlight and nutrients are taken away, there is simply no room for survival.

However, things are different with mimicry insects.

The tetrad algae and lamb mycelium, which grow wherever they can, also find nourishment in the flowing lake water.

When Flying Stick gets tired, he can lie down directly on the mimicry insect. This creature, which is highly similar to sweat, has completely changed the layout of the organisms on Lynn's body.

If Lynn's skin was originally fertile soil, then now it's like a stream has suddenly appeared on that already fertile soil.

The tall have their place, and so do the short.

Lynn walked to the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.

This transparent film evenly covers the skin surface, looking like a very thin layer of uncured resin.

In addition, under the refraction of light, a very faint blue fluorescence can occasionally be captured, and some small, non-magical blue light algae and tetrad algae also enter the body of the sweat bug.

Their cooperation is quite harmonious.

Lynn stared at the greenish sweat bugs in the mirror, and a thought suddenly popped into his head.

The surface of the body is already somewhat full. But if we can fit more organisms inside, while allowing nutrients to circulate among more organisms, it will be even better.

Perhaps more complex collaborative relationships can evolve.

"So, does the wizarding academy have any meditation techniques that can increase body size?"

He desperately needs it.

He packed his things, intending to come downstairs and get something to eat.

Suddenly, the Edranor grass displayed on the balcony caught his attention.

The velvet-like leaves withered and turned yellow, looking droopy and lifeless.

Lynn stepped forward, squatted down, and observed.

I was furious.

"You've been fed and cared for well, and given the right amount of sunlight as noted in the notes, so why are you still wilting?"
