The Wizard: Starting as a Corpse Collector Apprentice and Paying for a Monthly Subscription

There were no more rigid class barriers, and no more endless corpse work.

Standing at the crossroads, Tyron felt a sense of "freedom" for the first time in this world.

Hearing the approaching noise from the distant jungle, Tyron was not in a hurry.

He calmly removed the badge representing the Tower of Kane from his chest and casually stuffed it into his pocket.

Since this is a hunting competition between wizard towers, it means that there are opposing factions.

He knew all too well what kind of people these sixteen- or seventeen-year-old apprentices were.

Impulsive, competitive, and prone to violence.

Especially in a competition where honor is at stake, these guys can easily get carried away and cause unnecessary accidents once they see the badges of the opposing forces.

As a newcomer, I naturally had to make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After doing all this, Tyron turned around and used his bone sword to cut off a branch about the thickness of a thumb.

He sharpened one end to make a simple wooden spear, which served as his cover.

Everything is ready.

Tyron retreated to the shade of a large tree, beginning his true "wait and see" strategy.

Soon, as the sounds of shooing them away drew closer, Tyron's keen ears picked up a rustling sound coming from the bushes.

That was the sound of small animals darting through the bushes.

He quickly concealed his aura, his gaze sweeping around like that of a hawk.

The next second, a fiery red shadow suddenly darted out from the bushes on the left.

It was the Spotted Rabbit, whose entire body was covered in dark red magical patterns.

The rabbit was clearly startled. It jumped to the middle of the road, cautiously stood on its hind legs, its ears pricked up, and warily observed its surroundings.

It is about 7 meters away from Tyron.

Perfect range.

Without saying a word, Tyron's mental energy surged instantly.

[Magic Thorn Technique] Activated!

A faint, almost imperceptible light instantly enveloped the spirit-summoning flying sword in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, Tyron's arm muscles tensed, and he swung it around violently!

call out!

With a sharp whooshing sound, the spirit sword transformed into a pale white streak of light and shot straight out.

Upon hearing the sound, the spotted rabbit instinctively tried to turn its head to investigate.

However, before its brain could process the signal, Tyron's mental power intervened, making microsecond-level corrections to the flying sword's trajectory.

puff!

The flying sword pierced the rabbit's neck with pinpoint accuracy, instantly penetrating its spine, exiting from the back of its neck, and embedding itself deeply into the soil before automatically taking off and returning to Tyrion's side.

The whole process was incredibly fast.

Because of its speed and the fact that the flying sword was too sharp after being enchanted, the rabbit didn't even feel any pain.

Its body was still instinctively trying to jump and escape, but it found that its limbs had lost all feeling.

pat.

The rabbit collapsed limply to the ground, twitched twice, and then lay still.

Tyronn quickly ran over, grabbed the fiery red long ears, and lifted up his prize.

Looking down, the wound caused by the flying sword was extremely small, the surface of which was as smooth as a mirror, and there wasn't even much blood flowing out.

At first glance, the rabbit looks as if it died from some kind of mysterious internal injury.

"Perfect."

Tyron nodded in satisfaction, quickly hid the rabbit in a hole in the grass behind him, and then covered it with dry leaves.

Continue to stake out.

Clearly, someone in the distance was deliberately driving these rabbits away, trying to herd them into the encirclement.

This gave Tyronn an excellent opportunity to snag a bargain.

Just half a minute later, several more dark figures rushed out of the bushes in a panic.

Those were two slightly larger spotted rabbits.

They stopped at the intersection, their noses twitching, seemingly sensing the lingering scent of their companions, appearing somewhat restless.

Just then...

call out!call out!

Two piercing whistling sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

Two enchanted spirit swords shot out from two tricky angles on the left and right, like two venomous snakes.

puff!puff!

The two rabbits' necks were pierced instantly, and they fell into pools of blood before they could even scream.

Seeing this, Tyron felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"Self-discipline has yielded results, and diligent practice brings strength."

Last night's all-night practice paid off.

Now, he can control two flying swords to attack with relatively high precision at the same time.

Tyron walked over, skillfully picked up the two rabbits, and threw them back into the pit behind him.

In the next few minutes, two more panicked spotted rabbits ran right into the gun and were instantly killed by Tyron using the same method.

This time, he didn't hide the two rabbits.

Instead, they strung wooden spears together as a deterrent.

"A complete spotted rabbit pelt is worth 300 purple gold coins."

"Five rabbits would cost 1500."

"It all took less than ten minutes..."

Tyron patted the heavy spoils around his waist, in high spirits.

"I guess I really have to go out and explore."

"This speed at which money comes in, that's what I call awesome!"

……

Meanwhile, in the dense forest below the hillside.

Three wizard apprentices, clad in leather armor, were panting heavily as they struggled to push their way through the thorns.

They carried enchanted longbows and quivers on their backs, clearly indicating they had come prepared.

There were three people: two men and one woman.

One of the thin male apprentices wiped his sweat and said breathlessly:

"Captain...aren't we being a bit too rash?"

"If we rush over there and others reap the benefits, we'll suffer a huge loss."

The tall, burly young man leading the group scoffed dismissively:

"What are you afraid of?"

"This entire area has been cleared by our Sunfire Wizard Tower."

"The other three wizard towers, especially the Kane Wizard Tower which is about to go bankrupt, simply don't have enough manpower to come here to poach."

The only female apprentice among the three was a girl with a long face, and she said coldly:

"None of these matters."

"The direct order from above is: do not let any prey escape to the Wizard Tower of Kane."

"If we can get them to score zero this time, we can completely crush the morale of their outposts."

As the three of them talked, panting, they crossed a thick patch of grass and arrived at the crossroads.

Then, they were stunned.

There stood a young apprentice dressed in an ordinary robe, leaning calmly against a large tree.

He held a sharpened wooden spear in his hand, the tip of which impaled two dead demon rabbits, their blood slowly dripping down the wooden shaft.

Upon seeing the three appear, the boy merely glanced at them indifferently, his eyes as calm as a stagnant pool.

The three men immediately tensed up, instinctively raising their longbows and squinting as they questioned:

"Who are you?"

Tyron glanced at them calmly, his tone carrying just the right amount of helplessness and frustration:

"Just a poor soul forced by his teacher to go hunting in the mountains."

Hearing this, the three of them relaxed a little.

They deeply empathize with the pain of being exploited by their mentors.

The burly man leading the group tentatively asked:

"We understand your feelings... May I ask if you just hunted these two rabbits?"

Tyronn nodded and casually made up a story:

"Yes, just now five or six rabbits suddenly ran over like crazy."

"I got lucky and accidentally killed two of them."

"The remaining few ran that way."

As he spoke, he casually pointed in the opposite direction from where he was going down the mountain.

Upon hearing this, the gaunt young man beside him immediately became anxious, stepped forward, and his tone became somewhat arrogant:

"Hey! Don't you know this area has already been cleared out by our Sunfire Wizard Tower?"

"These two rabbits you're holding now are the ones we herded here!"

"According to the rules, these are our spoils!"

Upon hearing this, Tyron's eyes instantly turned cold.

He slowly pulled the wooden spear out of the rabbit's neck, letting the two rabbits fall to the ground.

Then, gripping the blood-stained spear, he took a step forward.

His eyes were coldly fixed on the gaunt young man, his voice low and hoarse:

"and then?"

These three simple words seemed to carry an invisible killing intent.

The gaunt young man felt his throat go dry when he was glared at, instinctively swallowed, and took a step back.

That look in your eyes... it's like someone who's killed someone!

And there's more than one!

At this moment, Tyron's proactive and wild behavior led the three to make an instant judgment:

This should be someone who doesn't belong to any wizarding tower system, but rather an apprentice of some free wizard.

These apprentices often mingled in the streets and were generally ruthless.

Risking your life for two rabbits? Not worth it.

The long-faced female apprentice reacted the fastest, quickly pulling her companion back from speaking and saying with a forced smile:

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

"Since you killed him with your own skill, he naturally belongs to you."

"Thank you for informing me of the rabbits' whereabouts. Goodbye!"

After saying that, she gave the other two a wink, and the three of them turned and quickly disappeared into the jungle, chasing after the wrong direction that Tyrone had pointed out.

……

Only after confirming that the three had completely left did Tyron put away his cold expression.

He quickly dug out three more rabbits from the pit behind him and stuffed all five of his spoils into the net.

Then, without pausing, he quickly descended the mountain path.

The reason he didn't leave immediately was because he was worried that carrying so much stuff might cause him to run into the main force of the Sun Wizard Tower on the way.

Now that these three scouts have been fooled, not only have the enemy been deceived, but the number of enemy personnel in the vicinity has also been determined.

More importantly...

The conversation between those three just now revealed an extremely important piece of information.

"The Sun Wizard Tower is implementing a blockade against the Kane Wizard Tower."

"We want to leave Kane's outposts empty-handed and completely crush their morale."

As Tyron raced through the woods, a playful smile played on his lips.

"Isn't this the opportunity I've been waiting for?"

"Chaos and crisis are often the ladder to huge profits."
