Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 7 The Value of a Wizard's Apprentice

The next morning.

Warm sunlight streamed in through the window, as if covering the floor with a layer of golden velvet.

Pei Ze sat cross-legged on the bed, feeling the second will rune in his mind, his face showing uncontrollable joy.

The happiest thing in life is waking up in the morning and finding that your strength has increased once again.

The successful construction of the No. 2 Willpower Rune brought another leap in his mental and physical attributes.

【Spirit 5.02】

[Body Condition 2.24]

The construction of the second Willpower Rune caused a one-time surge of 1.4 to Spirit!

Mental strength has officially broken through the 5-point mark.

As a result, his physical condition also exceeded 2 points.

Pei Ze jumped off the bed and stretched his body, feeling more energetic than ever before.

"My current physical condition is more than twice that of a normal adult human male."

Pei Ze's lips curled up slightly.

An apprentice knight's physique is only two to three times that of an average person.

In terms of physical ability alone, he is now no less capable than an ordinary trainee knight.

"A first-level wizard apprentice who is not known for his physique already has physical qualities comparable to a trainee knight."

"Once I master more spells, especially offensive spells, my combat power will be able to completely overwhelm that of a trainee knight, and I may even be able to put up a fight against a knight."

"No wonder wizards are the most powerful force in this world."

Pei Ze became increasingly aware of the wizard's power.

Unlike the mages I often saw in fantasy works in my previous life, wizards are not fragile characters with high attack but low health. Instead, they are well-rounded, all-around warriors.

The physical constitution of most formal wizards is even stronger than that of knights, and they are no less than that of grand knights.

Furthermore, wizards can enhance their physical constitution through biological mutations, bloodline modifications, and other means.

Even without using magic, a wizard whose body has been modified can kill a great knight with his bare hands.

After sighing for a while, Pei Ze silently recited something to himself.

"Omniscient, analyze the 3th Will Rune."

[Task created, analysis of Rune #3 Willpower begins, estimated time 8 days]

"Eight days? Not bad."

Pei Ze nodded secretly, and then accelerated once more.

Considering that he would be going to the academy later, he did not use up all his mental energy at once, but only used 3 points of mental energy.

[Task 1: Analyze Rune #3 of Willpower, estimated to take 6 days and 18 hours]

"One point of mental energy can speed up the analysis process by about 10 hours."

Pei Ze estimated that with his current mental strength, he could accelerate the analysis progress by a maximum of 50 hours a day. After that, he would have to recover his mental strength through meditation and sleep.

Based on this calculation, the No. 3 Will Rune can be analyzed in less than three days.

That speed is absolutely terrifying!

In addition, due to the enhanced mental strength, the spell model analysis time for Mage's Hand and Stun has also been shortened.

[Task 2: Analyze the Mage's Hand model, estimated to take 8 days, 2 hours, and 15 minutes]

[Task 3: Analyze the vertigo model, estimated to take 8 days, 4 hours, and 45 minutes]

Everything was proceeding smoothly, which made Pei Ze very happy.

He changed into his apprentice robes and went out to prepare for his journey to the academy.

Because he didn't have to go to class, he left home much later than usual. By then, the streets were already bustling with people and unusually noisy and lively.

Pei Ze lived in a relatively dilapidated area on the outskirts of Dawn City, where most of the residents were not well-off.

Street vendors selling snacks and pastries can be seen everywhere, and their shouts and calls can be heard all the time.

"Boss, two pies."

Pei Ze walked up to a pie stall and said as he withdrew money.

"Alright, here are four copper coins. Take them."

The vendor deftly slipped two pies into the bag, handed them over with a broad smile, his expression tinged with a hint of ingratiation.

Pei Ze felt something was off; he had never seen this person so attentive before.

However, he soon realized that something was wrong.

It seemed that many people around him were secretly observing him.

Envious and curious glances all focused on him, accompanied by whispers.

"Is that person a wizard's apprentice?"

"Judging from the style of the robe and the badge, he should be a wizard apprentice from the Tower Academy."

"That's strange, I don't remember having any wizard apprentices in this neighborhood."

"He must have just been promoted not long ago. Tsk tsk, I wonder which family is so lucky to have produced a wizard apprentice. They're about to rise to prominence."

"Sigh, I wish my child was as promising as me."

"."

Pei Ze suddenly had the illusion that he had become a giant panda in a zoo.

It was only then that he realized he had underestimated the value of a wizard's apprenticeship.

He often saw wizard apprentices at the academy, so he didn't think much of it.

But in reality, it's because Tower Academy is one of the four major wizarding academies in Dawn City, gathering a quarter of the city's students each year, which is why there are so many wizarding apprentices.

However, if they were scattered throughout the vast city of Dawn, wizard apprentices would be very rare.

Especially in relatively impoverished marginal areas, where there is a lack of sufficient economic support, few families can afford to raise a wizard apprentice.

Within a ten-kilometer radius of this area, let alone wizard apprentices, any family that produces a trainee knight becomes the center of attention and the envy of others.

As for wizard apprentices, they are truly blessed with good fortune!

That's why the people around were so surprised and curious to see a wizard apprentice appear.

After figuring this out, Pei Ze couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.

However, he didn't pay any attention and continued on his way at a leisurely pace.

It would be laughable if someone who pursues the path of wizardry were to be restrained by the opinions of others.

Upon arriving at the academy, Pei Ze went straight to the mission area.

Although it's called a mission area, it's actually mostly just a huge open-air plaza.

The vast square was filled with wooden panels resembling oil paintings, each displaying a page of mission descriptions.

Here, however, there are thousands of wizard apprentices, a rarity in other places.

Numerous gray-robed apprentices moved among the wooden planks, browsing the contents. Once they found a task they liked, they would immediately write down the task number and then head to the adjacent building to register.

Pei Ze stepped into the plaza and began browsing through the task boards.
