Wizard Immortality.

Chapter 10 Return to the Academy

It was still raining.

The guards at Black Tower Academy stopped a strange boy wearing a black raincoat.

"Name, origin."

"Vic, from the Kingdom of Katen, is a student from the August class of 733. His mentor is the wizard apprentice Kers."

During the gaps in the guards' identity verification.

Vic took off his hood to shield himself from the rain, raised his chin, and looked at the magnificent hillside town.

The deep, mysterious black tower atop the mountain, like a universal truth, stands eternally at the highest point, overlooking the relentless changes of all things in the long river of time.

Three months later.

Vic returned to the academy once again.

He returned this time for two purposes.

The first method is to earn start-up capital by completing tasks.

The second is to use the earned Soul Stones to purchase all knowledge available to you.

The wizard's thirst for knowledge is the perfect testament to the word "greed".

Vic wouldn't be arrogant enough to think that the knowledge in the Black Tower Academy was useless to him just because he was a level six wizard in his previous life.

Even knowledge at the wizard apprentice level is not overlooked by Vic. Even if he doesn't need it now, he will carefully collect it as a reserve of knowledge.

After the guard verified his identity.

The first thing Vic had to do was to find Luke, the Free Knight, whom he had some dealings with back then, at the academy.

Although Vic can find jobs through agencies, the employers and agencies will evaluate a person's qualifications.

With Luke acting as a go-between, the process will be much easier.

Even though doing so would incur a favor, Vic's time was very precious, and he didn't want to delay his long-term plans because of his glorious deeds of "losing out" under the bridge for more than a year.

According to the address Luke gave him seven months ago.

Vic arrived at the residential area halfway up the mountain.

Each house here is independent and the rent is expensive, generally only affordable for senior apprentices and formal wizards.

Luke lives here because he has long served as a 'guardian' for a senior apprentice.

Although the job may sound undignified, it is well-paid.

It's enough to support his expenses on purchasing knowledge for learning.

Vic stopped in front of a detached house.

The nameplate on the door reads: Resident: Shirley Finn.

The silver plaque next to it bears the specific name of the residence: Submariner's Laboratory.

The name has no practical use; it's just a nice-sounding appellation that better suits its expensive rent and high-end positioning.

Knock on the door.

Every now and then, a well-behaved and lovely girl would open the door in response.

With a professional smile, she said, "Hello, this is my housekeeper. If you want to see Lady Sherry, you need to make an appointment in advance."

During his year or so at Black Tower Academy, Vic focused solely on learning and never left the campus.

Therefore, he was completely unfamiliar with this senior apprentice named Shirley Finn.

But judging from the butler's tone, the other party seemed to be more than just a senior apprentice.

They may have a deep understanding of the wizarding profession, and people often visit them seeking cooperation.

But Vic didn't come to see her.

"My name is Vic, a student from the August 1973 cohort. Is Mr. Luke still working here?"

Vik identified himself as a student.

The girl's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a cold expression. She sized up Vic from head to toe, and said with some impatience, "A student from 733?"

Then he turned around and shouted, "Mr. Luke, a student named Vic is looking for you."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut and ignored Vic waiting outside.

Wait approximately five minutes.

Luke appeared in the garden that connects to the backyard.

The increasingly robust Free Rider strode over and gave Vic a warm bear hug as soon as they met, laughing as he said, "I thought you were going to rot under that broken bridge forever."

"Speak, what brings you here today?"

It's been almost a year since we last met.

Vic noticed that a primal spiritual magnetic field had been faintly forming within Luke's spiritual body.

This indicates that during this period, he not only acquired the extraction method but also began to study it on his own, attempting to become a wizard apprentice.

Although Luke has a rugged appearance and is warm, generous and unpretentious, he was the worst student in Vic's class. He must have his own extraordinary qualities to have gotten to where he is today.

When he first met Vic.

This well-traveled free rider noticed that Vic was different from the others.

Especially on the day the talent test ended.

He had secretly observed Vic, and he hadn't seen any sense of frustration in this taciturn boy. From beginning to end, the boy's expression remained calm and indifferent.

Based on his experience in judging people during his travels.

The latest novel is first published here!

Generally, only two types of people possess this terrifying mindset of being impervious to all things.

One type is a mentally unstable idiot.

The other type is the ruthless person with a heart of stone.

Although these are just guesses based on Luke's personal experience, he believes that there is no harm in befriending Vic.

Besides, he himself didn't suffer any loss.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries.

Vic explained his purpose.

"I hope we can work together on an overseas mission. For some reason, I need some money."

Mentioning overseas missions.

Luke frowned slightly.

He knew why Vic had contacted him.

Given his history of slacking off under the bridge for over a year, the intermediary agency would definitely not grant him the necessary qualifications.

So he stood there in silence for a while before saying, "I haven't been out for more than half a year, but I can help you with this."

All Ms. Shirley needs to do is mention it to the agency.

About two days.

I can get it done for you within two days. Then you can directly register your qualifications with the agency; there won't be any problems.

The previous housekeeper used a respectful title when addressing Shirley Finn, but Luke's title was more intimate.

But Vic wouldn't make fun of the other person.

For wizards, only knowledge and power are the only real things.

Selling one's looks for a ticket to the path of becoming a wizard is hardly worth mentioning.

Knowing that Luke's agreement to do this would leave him in a huge debt to that senior apprentice named Shirley Finn, Vic said, "I'll remember your help, Luke."

Given Vic's current strength and worth, Luke doesn't ask for anything in return, but just one word from him would be enough.

Luke laughed heartily and said, "No problem at all. It's been so long. How about we go to the tavern for a drink?"

"Next time," Viktor said.

Luke didn't insist and saw Vic off.

The smile on the Free Knight's face gradually faded, his eyes narrowed as he watched Vic's departing figure with a meaningful gaze.

Although there was no malice intended.

He was actually looking forward to the day when Vic would give him something in return for this.

Some interesting thoughts even arose in my mind: After lying low for more than a year, you've finally stopped pretending?

but.

He didn't lose money by making this kind of venture investment.

It's just a matter of using more sweet words and a little more effort in bed.
