I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Below the incantation was a description of the spell.

[Forbidden. Novice Polymorph: Transforms an item. Or rather, discovers the essence of an item.]

[Duration: 1 second]

[Consumption: All Mana]

[Effect: The moment you discover what it is, it is so.]

[Hint: Before casting, be sure to correct your perception first—if you do not believe in reality, how can you see reality?]

Roland focused on studying this forbidden spell.

After a moment, he suddenly realized that he had completely mastered this magic.

[You have learned 'Novice Polymorph']

“My ability to accept, understand, and learn everything about the God of Aleyah is extraordinary. It's as if, it's as if I am that evil god who has descended.”

Roland's expression became somewhat interesting. He shook his head and stopped thinking wildly.

“Forbidden Polymorph… This spell is vastly different from ordinary Polymorph.”

An item that has been polymorphed will be completely changed into something else.

For example, if you believe that the herb in front of you is already mature, then after the herb is polymorphed, it will immediately bloom and bear fruit.

However, after one second, the mature herb will revert to its original state. The fruit it bore will also disappear.

One second is not enough time to digest the fruit.

However, if Roland turns a wine glass into a 'Holy Grail' that can ripen herbs, then in that one second, he can use this 'Holy Grail' to ripen the herbs!

After one second, although the Holy Grail will turn back into a wine glass, the herb will have been ripened.

What Roland wants to do now is to turn the broken wine glass in front of him into a Holy Grail that can ripen herbs.

Coming back to his senses, Roland looked at the broken wine glass in front of him.

“According to legends, there is a 'curiosity' in the Yellow Bracken Forest called the 'Yellow Bracken Holy Grail'.”

“As long as the 'Yellow Bracken Holy Grail' is filled with wine, anything watered by it will immediately bloom and bear fruit.”

“The reason why Baron Hall repeatedly went to the Yellow Bracken Forest at all costs was to find the Yellow Bracken Holy Grail.”

Roland picked up the broken wine glass in front of him.

The Forbidden Polymorph requires you to hypnotize yourself before using it. He must now firmly believe that the wine glass in front of him is the Yellow Bracken Holy Grail in order to successfully cast the spell.

“This broken wine glass is a souvenir I bought casually from a stall in town a few days ago.”

“Baron Hall and the wizard had suspected that my father had left me something. So they have repeatedly confirmed that the wine glass is not a treasure, just something from a stall.”

“But I think I can confirm it again.”

“Because all cups are a Holy Grail!”

“All Holy Grails are butterflies!”

[You have understood! Telepathy +1]

Just as Roland was self-hypnotizing and acting crazy, the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang. A cold and beautiful woman in a witch's robe walked in.

Roland, who was just acting crazy, suddenly shrank back. He stopped acting crazy, stopped being a butterfly, and buried his head in the book, covered in sweat.

‘Damn it! Why did she suddenly come back? Fortunately, I was just hypnotizing myself and hadn't used Polymorph yet, otherwise it would have been troublesome.'

Each use of Polymorph consumes all of one's own mana. With Roland's current mana, he will not be able to use Polymorph again for three days after using it once.

What's more, if this cold and beautiful witch discovers that Roland can turn a broken wine glass into the Yellow Bracken Holy Grail, hehe.

Roland seemed very afraid of this witch. After the witch pushed the door in, he became very cautious.

It was as if a student had met a teacher.

Indeed, this lady is Roland's 'teacher'.

Her name is Catherine, and she is Roland's mentor.

Roland had seen her in the morning.

At that time, Roland had just transmigrated, so he said some nonsense. He didn't remember what he said, but after the witch heard it, her expression became very interesting.

She gave Roland a severe scolding. After that, Roland remembered this person.

The cold and beautiful witch glanced at Roland coldly. Then, she pulled up a curtain in the center of the room, dividing the room into two parts.

Immediately afterwards, a rustling sound of changing clothes came from behind the curtain. Roland glanced at the mirror and saw the witch's feet stepping on the bed, taking off her aristocratic high stockings, from the corner of the room that was not blocked.

The witch suddenly frowned, and Roland quickly lowered his head.

—The terrifying 'Cat Witch' in the mouths of the townspeople is Catherine.

In the mouths of the town residents, the Cat Witch is a terrifying monster that crawls on walls and eats people without spitting out bones.

But this witch, she looks very elegant. At least she doesn't look like the kind of person who would crawl on walls.

By the way, the two of them are living together now.

The female mentor sleeps on the bed, and Roland sleeps on the floor.

After the female mentor started changing clothes, Roland began to space out. However, he was not spacing out while staring at the beautiful lady in the mirror, but at the herb and wine glass in front of the mirror.

“Three months ago, the reckless me made a bet with my mentor. I bet that I could be promoted to a low-level apprentice within three months. To this end, we also signed a magic contract.”

According to the contract, the mentor will not kill Roland during the contract period, nor will she make him into troll food. At the same time, she will provide Roland with the resources needed for cultivation. On the other hand, Roland will not be able to leave this mountain within these three months.

And once Roland fails to be promoted within three months, he will never be able to disobey the mentor's orders. At that time, even if the mentor orders Roland to marinate himself well and then feed himself to the troll, Roland will have to obey.

The condition for解除 the contract is very simple, that is, to be promoted to a low-level apprentice.

In other words, if Roland cannot be promoted to a low-level apprentice tonight, he will be the mentor's slave for the rest of his life.

‘I have a feeling that even if I break through tonight, the mentor will feed me to her pet.'

‘Maybe even the purpose of her training me to become a low-level apprentice is to feed me to her pet!’

“The effect of making a low-level apprentice into human medicine is better than making a trainee apprentice into human medicine, isn't it?”

Roland knew that whether there was a contract or not, the mentor would attack him one day. Because the difference in strength between the two was too great. His only way out was to run. But because of the constraints of the magic contract, he could not leave the mountain unless he was promoted.

So promotion was a prerequisite for him to escape smoothly.

Roland planned to secretly advance tonight and then escape.

“Stop staring at that magic herb you picked.”

The curtain was pulled open. The beautiful mentor's clear voice came from behind: “The Manhatos merman, also known as the seed of the wizard, is not without reason.”

“The cost of making it bloom and bear fruit is greater than the cost of training an apprentice into a formal wizard.”

“If you can really obtain its fruit, not to mention you, even for a high-level cough, for a high-level wizard like I am now, it can also enhance the meditation effect.”

Some words suddenly appeared in the book in front of Roland:

[On the wizard's path to godhood, there are nine steps, but there has never been a 'low-level, mid-level, high-level wizard'.]

[There are, however, low-level, mid-level, and high-level apprentices.]

[Of course, ordinary people generally do not know this. Therefore, in the secular world, people often mistakenly regard apprentices as wizards.]

[Perhaps you can try calling her senior sister?]

Roland's expression became strange. He had personally heard Baron Hall say that Catherine's strength was unfathomable and that she was a very powerful wizard.

So, she is actually just a high-level apprentice?

The mentor brings back some magical newspapers every day to let Roland understand the affairs of the wizarding world. Judging from the content of the news, high-level apprentices are generally instructors who will take some freshmen in place of professors. So, Catherine may really be a high-level apprentice, rather than a formal wizard.

Of course, whether Catherine is a high-level apprentice or a formal wizard, Roland would not dare to call her senior sister—Catherine would skin him alive!

Miss Catherine's voice rang out again: “I'm going to the Wizard Market later to meet up with the team returning to the academy. Boil some hot water for me, I want to bathe. Then tidy up my luggage and feed 'Anna'—the team will be leaving tomorrow.”

‘Anna’ is the troll Catherine raises. And it eats two sheep a day.

By the way, Anna is a male troll—anyway, that's what the mentor said.

Roland thought to himself: ‘Anna eats two sheep a day? What troll has such a large appetite?’

‘Judging from her appetite, Anna is not ordinary strong. I strongly suspect that Anna is more powerful than senior sister.'

‘It is a very dangerous thing to keep pets that are stronger than oneself. What's more, this pet is sick and often goes crazy.’

‘Once Anna goes crazy, senior sister will also become human medicine in 'Anna's' eyes. So she needs insurance, and that insurance is me! When Anna goes crazy, as long as senior sister throws me to Anna, Anna will eat me and will no longer eat senior sister, right?’

Roland likes to view things from the worst possible angle. He feels that with senior sister's level of cunning, she can do such a thing.

“Didn’t you hear me? Go, fetch water!”

Catherine said angrily, "Also, throw away that damn magic herb for me -- this is my last warning for today, I don't want to see you go crazy again!"

"Oh," Roland said, standing up obediently.

Seeing Roland so obedient, Catherine breathed a great sigh of relief.

This morning, Roland had seemed a little strange. He didn't even recognize her -- Roland hadn't fully integrated his memories yet. After discovering that they lived together, he thought Catherine was his wife.

So... they had some strange conversations. Roland even hugged Catherine and called her "dear."

Catherine was completely stunned when Roland hugged her.

She flew into a rage and gave Roland a severe scolding, making him understand what it means to respect one's teacher.

Afterwards, Catherine tested Roland's understanding of the notes. To Catherine's shock, this kid seemed to have suddenly become enlightened overnight and actually understood the core of the notes.

At the time, Roland seemed to have realized something and then muttered some words to himself.

These words were Roland's understanding of the core of the notes, and the content was very sanity-draining.

What made Catherine even more sanity-drained was that she actually felt that Roland's words made sense!

In horror, she severely scolded the brat and warned him not to study the contents of the notes in front of her in the future. And especially not to tell her.

And even more especially, not to call her "senior sister!"

After that, Roland completely knew who Catherine was.

He obeyed Catherine's orders and didn't mention the contents of the notes in front of her. And Catherine finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was indeed extremely curious about the contents of Aleyah's notes and had studied them before. But she couldn't understand them. Now Roland seemed to be able to understand these contents, but Catherine didn't dare to listen anymore.

At least she didn't want to hear anything related to 'Aleyah's Notes' anymore.

But just now, when Catherine entered the door, she discovered that Roland seemed to have suddenly realized something again!

Damn it! Catherine couldn't suppress her curiosity again.

Just then, she saw Roland pouring wine into the herb.

Manhatos herb has a characteristic, which is that it will rot after a few hours after contacting alcohol. Therefore, Roland had deliberately not used deformation techniques just now, and poured the wine into the dwarf herb, which would create the illusion that 'this herb will rot and can no longer be ripened'.

So, if a trainee apprentice who is on the verge of despair pours wine on this herb, it means that he has given up on the stupid method of ripening the herb.

Catherine noticed Roland's actions, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

'Has this kid given up on advancing tonight? Hmph, smart enough. If you beg me, maybe I'll give you a promotion potion tomorrow.'

A hint of smugness appeared in Catherine's eyes, but then she frowned again.
