Wizard: Max level talent, starting from zero-ring trick.

Chapter 17 Breakthrough: Master-Level Mental Strength Impact

"Sponsorship?"

"I?"

Ian paused for a moment, staring at the beautiful wizard before him.

Chris Silvermoon Lake turned around leisurely and sat down on a chair not far away, her snow-white thighs crossed.

He smiled at Ian and said.

"Victor recommended you to me, saying you have great potential and that we'd like to sponsor you."

"Instructor Victor?"

After learning the whole story, Ian was both surprised and moved.

He never expected that Victor would help him privately.

"Yes, out of respect for Victor, I think it's necessary to meet him based on his recommendation."

Chris looked at Ian with great interest.

It's hard to see why such a commoner wizard would attract Victor's attention.

With a gentle press of the ruby ​​ring on his index finger, a contract suddenly appeared in his hand.

Fly to Ian.

Space gear!

Ian was immediately startled.

He had only seen such alchemical products in books, and their starting value was always several hundred magic stones.

Wow, they're really rich.

He accepted the contract, and his powerful mental strength allowed him to quickly grasp the main contents with just a glance.

The content is quite simple: provide 5 magic stones per month.

not much.

However, the conditions are also incredibly simple.

There is only one.

Will you provide resources to the Silvermoon Lake family when they need them, but you can refuse?

It's practically nothing.

It's practically like giving Ian five magic stones for free every month.

This was clearly not directed at him, but at Victor.

The instructor must have quite a bit of influence!

"Is Instructor Victor well-known within the academy?"

Ian looked up at the woman.

Chris nodded and said:

"The youngest intermediate-level alchemist in the school, a recognized alchemist genius, and it is even said that Wizard Horton has some interest in him, as do many other families."

In addition, our family does need to invest in some wizards, and even without him, we had considered you.

I've considered it.

But she didn't contact him, clearly feeling that it wasn't a good fit.

However, if Victor's recommendation is added, it would be suitable.

"Okay, I'll sign."

Ian readily signed his name and returned it to Chris.

Since Victor thinks highly of him, why shouldn't he accept it?

If he didn't even have this confidence, he wouldn't be here.

As always, we should remain cautious.

The two are not in conflict.

Chris smiled and put away the contract without even looking at the name. Perhaps in her opinion, Ian in front of her was a little interesting, but nothing special.

It's mainly because of Victor's influence.

"Someone will deliver the magic stone to you tomorrow. Also, please give my regards to Victor. The Silvermoon Lake family looks forward to cooperating with him."

Chris blinked and politely saw her off.

"Thank you, sir."

Ian turned and left.

......

After leaving, Ian did not go home, but headed towards the teaching area.

"Not here in the office."

Unable to find Victor, Ian turned and left.

Victor was just taking a break here.

It seems I'll have to see him again at the next class.

.......

the next day.

A maid came and gave Ian a magic stone.

Although there were only five, they were a real lifesaver for Ian and helped him a lot.

Soon, his plant identification skills improved from beginner to proficient, with his proficiency increasing by nearly thirty percent.

a few days later.

Ian met Victor after class.

"Thank you for the instructor's help, and also thank you to Senior Chris for asking me to give her my regards."

Victor waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about that. I'm going to test whether you've improved recently."

As a potion-making genius certified by Chris, Victor's questions were quite tricky, many of which were based on previous tests.

To his surprise, Ian was indeed making progress.

"You've made rapid progress."

Victor nodded in satisfaction.

He has the same feeling he had when he was studying pharmacy, and he's only slightly worse than him.

It's just a pity that he lacks a bit of talent for meditation.

"I'm lending you this Potions notebook. It's what I had left over from my studies back then, and it's quite good."

Victor took a frayed notebook from a bookshelf and handed it to Ian.

"I cannot accept teachers."

Ian wanted to refuse.

The first rule of wizarding is equivalent exchange.

Having already received help, to still take the wizard's notes would be utterly shameless.

"Ten magic stones, consider it a loan to you in advance, just pay me back later."

Victor smiled.

"Thank you, instructor."

Ian stopped refusing, took the notebook, and was deeply moved.

This could be either funding or notes.

Although it was closely related to his progress, he was simply unable to repay it at this time.

All I can do is remember.

I will repay it later.

"However, the Silvermoon Lake family has been developing poorly lately, and there are some signs of trouble. If anything happens, just ignore it."

Victor reminded him.

"clear."

Ian said he understood.

If something can cause Victor trouble, it must be something significant.

He will definitely not participate at that time.

......

Victor's notes are different from those of people who have access to free materials.

Although it's a thick book, it really needs to be studied and read carefully.

There are forty pages in total. On average, he can read one page a day, which can improve his proficiency by five points.

Ian was highly suspicious.

This level of knowledge would be worth at least twenty or thirty magic stones in a library.

Ten magic stones, that's a friendly price.

It's still a loan.

at the same time.

Ian's skills are also steadily improving.

Five days later.

On a slope not far from the college.

The dense trees were several meters tall, and the school's headquarters were not far away. A city several kilometers away could be faintly seen.

"That must be the academy's market."

Ian stood on a boulder, gazing into the distance.

At this point, strictly speaking, he had not truly left the school of thought; he was merely on its periphery.

The patrol could arrive at any moment.

He came here to practice witchcraft.

"There's no way around it. The school does have experimental grounds, and even provides reduced recovery potions and sparring partners, but it costs money."

Ian sighed.

The testing site is excellent.

But you need magic stones.

One magic stone per day.

expensive.

So he came here.

This location is about a hundred meters from the school's watchtower, and the view is blocked by several large trees.

"It's a bit risky. I'll practice within the school when I have more money."

Ian was certain he could run back to the school in five seconds, so he turned around and began practicing witchcraft.

Today we mainly practiced mental attacks, and I'm already on the verge of a breakthrough.

"Chilaso!"

Continuous practice gradually increases proficiency.

Suddenly, in a fleeting moment, Ian seemed to sense something different.

There is no spell.

Without even making a move, a surge of spiritual energy instantly poured out.

Boom!

A large tree, as thick as his waist, collapsed in the distance with a loud crash.

At the same time, a notification sound rang out.

"Mental strength breakthrough to Master level, talent increased by 3."

Talent: 130 → 133
