Wizard: Starting with Symbiosis with Algae

As it turns out, some people are just lucky; not only were Sephiroth and his companions rescued by Lynn,

And not long after Lynn revealed his true identity to the group, the weather began to gradually turn cloudy.

Everything was developing in a direction that was favorable to them.

Without the scorching sun, the wizards recovered their strength quite quickly even in the sandstorm.

The apprentice who had just fallen to the ground touched his back and stood up; even the smell of grilled meat on the teppanyaki grill had disappeared.

After a small victory, Lynn began to take stock of his spoils.

He squatted down next to a worm carcass and tapped the hardened shell with his finger.

The flying clubs have already eaten their most valuable part – their stomachs – so selling only the meat would significantly reduce their value.

But this size...

Sephir, standing behind him, suddenly asked, "Lynn, why did you come alone? Aren't you afraid of danger?"

Lynn actually has something to say about this issue.

Professor Aigard sent him to this desert, probably to warn him about the special environment.

Lynn speculated that the professor might already know some information about Lynn's next world and wanted him to get used to it.

As for the result, Lynn was extremely adaptable, and the desert was nothing to him.

Even if he were swept away by a flash flood, he was 100% confident that he would survive.

This is a good thing.

"I was alone because the two guys I was with went off on their own and didn't wait for me," Lynn said.

"Then...aren't you afraid of danger?" Sephir asked again, his tone sincere.

Kayla, who was next to her, couldn't hold back any longer. She tugged at Sephir's sleeve and pointed to the corpses of the sand worms on the ground, which had gone from being "fried" to being "braised" in oil.

Asking this question is somewhat redundant.

Sephir was stunned.

After practicing magic for so long, her memory only lasts seven seconds.

She looked down at the corpses of the worms and explained.

"Ah, Lynn, please don't worry about it, I'm always like this. But the family says that once I reach the third level of wizard apprenticeship, this symptom will get much better."

Sefir was indeed a young lady, a young lady from a family with a pedigree.

However, her family belongs to the mineral-related field within the geology subcategory. They are not so large as to dominate everything; they are a small but highly capable family with a long history.

Wizards like her, who specialize in a particular type of magic, form small families, and these families exist in various academies.

The reason is not hard to understand. The "crystallization" route is high-risk and high-reward. If you are not careful, it will backfire on the caster. Indeed, only families with blood ties can pass on the spell through oral tradition.

"A third-level wizard apprentice can alter the structure of my body's magic transmission," Sephir said earnestly. "If I can convert this gain into an ability, preventing magic from flowing directly into my brain... I might become a little smarter."

"Oh, by the way, thank you for your help, Lynn. Would you like to see our spoils?"

Kayla and her teammates were taken aback. It was clear that Sephir's socialization training hadn't been sufficient either.

Who would reveal all their weaknesses and gains in front of strangers?

The elders in the family were right to let her go out and gain some experience, but the venue they chose this time was a bit too difficult; it almost killed her.

However, it is true that approaching others in a "harmless" way makes it easier to lower an adult's guard.

Sephir's unguarded frankness made him seem unguardable.

Lynn looked over and saw a red iron plague virus growing on the metal.

New color?

However, they still do not reproduce.

However, since there was no loss,

Lynn grabbed him and they began a symbiotic relationship.

Lynn said, "You should leave quickly before it gets dark."

Sephir grabbed his sleeve.

Lynn looked down at the sleeve she was holding, then at her face which hadn't fully regained its color, and didn't pull away.

Let her rest easy for a while longer.

Lynn roughly estimated that a single sand dune would cost at least fifteen to thirty magic stones.

Unfortunately, he couldn't possibly drag seven or eight worm corpses across the desert.

So he asked a few people to help him stick the worms upside down in the sand.

The sandstorm and dry air will help him get the rest of the work done.

After a large amount of water evaporates, these worms turn into sticks, which are easy to carry and do not rot.

If it's on the way back, taking it with you won't be a loss.

While Lynn rested, the Edranor grass in his hand, which had been fixed outside, began to grow wildly. In just a short while, the roots had sprouted outwards again, and the leaves unfurled in the wind and sand, green without restraint.

[The Edranor grass is growing rapidly due to magical interference.]

It's always like this.

The disruption caused by magic can actually promote healthy growth.

Therefore, extreme environments may serve to disrupt the magic.

Lynn stroked the Edranor grass, speechless for a moment.

Just then, several large aircraft slowly flew across the distant sky.

Their appearance is quite impressive, and their uniform paint scheme stands out against the hazy sky.

These aircraft were only allowed to pass through the Iron Plague before returning to the Wizarding World.

Lynn followed them for a few seconds, memorizing the direction they were sailing.

After resting for a while, he decided to set off again.

Sephir and the others had recovered, and although they still looked unwell, they were able to stand up without assistance.

"Then we'll be going. Thank you for your help, Lynn."

"Sephir, take this with you." Lynn took out some effective magic potions and handed them over.

These potions were of course purchased from the Alchemy Academy through official channels before he set off, and their quality was guaranteed; they were not some unknown street vendor products.

In the current environment where magic is constantly being disrupted, every little bit helps.

The group took the medicine, their faces still pale, but their eyes showed a newfound sense of reassurance.

According to the map, they should be able to reach a safe area in their current condition.

Sephir said thank you.

Feeling unsure, Lynn handed the group another small, smelly ball that glowed with a blue light.

"You should take this with you too; ordinary worms will avoid you."

Sefir blushed as she looked at Lynn's face. In her mind, the little round ball that the handsome Lynn had given her was like a magnificent treasure from a story.

"Thank you, Lynn, I will cherish this forever."

"That won't be necessary."

Lynn put his hands in his pockets and watched the group leave.

Because that stuff is the metabolic waste of the pike.

……

After the others left, Lynn noticed the strange sensation in his hand.

At the locations where the two types of iron plague viruses came into contact with the Edranor grass, red and blue crystals were churning incessantly.

[Symbiotic relationship established. Iron Plague Virus (Blue) (Red)]

[With the activation of the Edranor Grass, the mana depletion condition has been alleviated.]

[Poor Magic Power → Rich Magic Power]

[Infertility → Magical Apoptosis]

【Iron Plague Virus (Miracle-Rich Species)】

[Enriched with Magic: When activated by Edranor Grass, its magic becomes abundant]

[Apoptosis Modification: Excessive magic makes their structure unsustainable, causing them to die at an extremely rapid rate before they can successfully develop.]
