Journey to the Wizarding World

"Teacher, the patent for the burning potion does not belong to me." Byron said softly.

"Oh? It doesn't belong to you." The middle-aged man in black robe frowned.

"Yes, Master Gustav." Byron opened his palms and said, "Although the concept of the new potion originated from my idea, due to certain problems that could not be solved, there was someone else who finally completed the [burning potion].

others."

"You mean, someone completed this potion before you?"

A trace of solemnity appeared on Gustav's face and he said in a deep voice.

"In that case, according to the rules of the Potion Association, you cannot obtain the patent for new potions, but I am curious, who solved the problem that you are helpless to solve?"

"Astaro? Lilith? Or Stella?"

The names Gustave mentioned in succession were all official wizards in the academy who were good at potions. In his opinion, only formal wizards with rich knowledge could solve the problems Byron encountered.

"Ha, the person who completed the [Burning Potion] is not an official wizard." Byron shook his head and chuckled, "He is just a newcomer. He has only been in school for less than half a year, and his strength may not even reach the level of a second-level apprentice."

"Newcomer?" Gustav paused, with a trace of surprise on his face.

"His name is Enzo, and he is my experimental assistant." Byron nodded and said solemnly: "From the time he cooperated with my experiment, he showed extremely high talent for potions. He just assisted in the experiment and wrote down [

[Burning Potion] refining process, and then I had a flash of inspiration and added Ice Leaf Fruit into it.”

"It is precisely because of this that [Burning Potion] was finally completed!"

"Are you sure it was him who completed the new potion?" Gustave looked serious and said in a deep voice, "I think you should know that the research on potions often takes time to accumulate. Without a large amount of knowledge reserves, it is impossible to achieve anything.

Achieved!"

"How much potion knowledge can a newcomer who has been in school for less than half a year master even if he studies non-stop?"

"I have also thought about this problem, but according to Enzo, the reason why he has so much knowledge about potions is because he had acquired some broken wizard inheritance before entering school." Byron's face remained unchanged and he insisted.

":Enzo has been my assistant for some time. From him, I can feel that he is as talented as me in potions."

"Oh? As good as your potion talent?" Gustav's eyes flashed, a little surprised.

Byron is recognized as a potion genius by the academy. Even though he is well-known in the Potions Association, he already owns four potion patents before he has been promoted to a formal wizard. Such a genius is naturally proud of himself.

Being recognized by him is enough to prove Enzo's talent!

"So, you are here this time to help him apply for a patent for potion?" Gustave said solemnly.

"Yes, mentor." Byron raised his head, looked directly at Gustav, took a deep breath and said, "But besides that, there is another thing that needs to be considered by the mentor."

"What's the matter?" Gustav asked.

"I hope to recommend Enzo to become your disciple." Byron said solemnly with a serious expression: "Being able to complete [Burning Potion] has proven Enzo's talent. I think you will not reject a potion genius.

"

"You want me to accept him as a disciple?" Gustav looked slightly surprised and asked doubtfully, "Why should you help him? If you are just a newcomer, there should be no friendship between you."

"Mentor, I plan to be promoted to an official wizard!" Byron said solemnly.

"Have you... finally decided?" Gustave suddenly paused, raised his head, and said solemnly: "You have to think clearly, once you take that step, no one can guarantee the outcome."

"I have thought it through clearly, mentor." Byron sighed and said, "I have been in the state of a third-level apprentice for decades. If I can no longer condense magic crystals, my lifespan will eventually come to an end.

The end.”

"But... that matter..." Gustav thought of something and hesitated.

"This is exactly why I recommend Enzo to you." Byron looked solemn and said slowly, "If I can successfully condense the magic crystal during the process of being promoted to a formal wizard, then everything will be as normal, but if I fail

If it’s over, someone must take over from me and continue to complete that task!”

Gustave stared at Byron and did not speak for a long time.

"Well, if you insist, this is the only way." After a while, Gustav sighed and said, "Find a time to bring the newcomer here. If his potion talent is as good as you said,

I will accept this disciple."

"Thank you, mentor." Byron took a step back and bowed.

...

Another month passed quickly.

During these days, Enzo spent most of his time hiding in his room, refining potions, familiarizing himself with new witchcraft abilities, and trying to improve his strength as much as possible.

One afternoon, the newcomers received their first batch of mandatory tasks.

"Mandatory mission: Investigate the death of a large number of people in Snow Hoof City [Silver Deer Kingdom]. Mission reward: 20 magic stones. Mission leader: Enzo."

Under the bulletin board at the mission desk, Enzo saw the mandatory mission assigned to him by the academy.

"Is it just an investigation mission? It doesn't look very difficult." Enzo frowned in confusion.

As far as he knew, mandatory tasks have always been the tradition of the academy. In order to let newcomers take responsibility and temper them at the same time, the tasks assigned are often difficult and dangerous, which can also be regarded as a test for newcomers by the academy.

However, the mission Enzo received was a bit strange. It only asked him to investigate missing persons in the secular kingdom. It was not difficult or dangerous at all.

"Oh my god! Cruel the fallen wizard hiding in the Besir Mountains?"

There was a wailing sound in his ears, and Enzo looked around and saw Jorah with an ugly expression, as if his father had died.

"Are you kidding me? I am a small first-level apprentice. How could I receive such a task?" Jorah turned pale and said in shock, "Could it be that the academy made a mistake?"

"That's right, this is the mission we received." On the side, Bourne nodded solemnly and said, "There are five people in total who have received the crusade mission, and the fallen wizard in the Bells Mountains is said to be just a crystal that failed to condense magic power.

A third-level apprentice, the five of us should be able to deal with it together."

"That's too difficult..." Jorah made a groan-like sound.

"There is no way, mandatory tasks have a certain degree of difficulty." Bourne shook his head and said, "After all, the essence of mandatory tasks is a test given by the academy to newcomers. If the task process is not dangerous, then it has been lost.
