Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Surrender 1

Since he was already here.

Link, of course, was not in a hurry to leave.

After a brief rest, he began his second practice session.

The combat setting was the same as before, only resetting the attack mode.

This time, Link didn’t stay in place, but wandered around.

This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of spellcasting, requiring a high level of spatial imagination ability, understanding of the coordinate system, and mental calculation ability.

Even with the aid of the “Mind Closure Technique” and “Philius Flitwick’s Talent for Spellcasting,” Link made two minor mistakes.

Before the end of the fifth wave of attack, the seamless rhythm of the water shield broke.

This forced Link to activate the levitation and acceleration function of his Rune Boots, hastily dodging the last arrow in a rather awkward manner.

Just after dodging, the sixth wave of attack arrived.

!!..

Link decided to change his strategy, leaving a water shield for protection and attacking the incoming arrows with the Leaf Arrow Spell.

The result was self-evident.

The not yet mastered Leaf Arrow Spell took too long to cast, at least 2 seconds, and difficult to control as it’s hard to adjust the direction.

As expected, the interception failed.

Fortunately, Link didn’t completely rely on the half-baked Leaf Arrow Spell.

The water shield timely blocked the arrow and he abruptly accelerated, evading a great distance away.

The sixth wave of attack was solved.

Link practiced in combat twice in a row, casting no less than ten spells, nearly depleting his spiritual and magic power.

This revealed, without doubt, a weakness – his lack of endurance in magic.

However, Link was not upset.

In the First Rank Wizard Apprentice Stage, Link’s spiritual power ranged from 17 to 30, and the number of spellcasts ranged from four to ten times;

In the Second Rank Wizard Apprentice Stage, Link’s spiritual power ranged from 31 to 75, the number of spellcasts ranged from ten to twenty-five times.

He’d just been promoted to the Second Rank Wizard Apprentice not long ago. As he increased his spiritual power, his magical endurance would naturally improve.

Link freed up the training space.

After a period of rest, observation, and reflection, Jasmine was ready for another practice session.

This time, Jasmine activated her Rune Boots as soon as she started.

She still took the strategy of dodging whenever she could and defending on the spot when she couldn’t.

Compared to the last time, Jasmine’s performance improved a lot.

The first wave of attack was completely avoided.

Not until the end of the second wave of attack did Jasmine have to use the Air Shield from her enchanted bracelet.

The Rune Necklace around her fair neck was activated during the middle of the third wave of attack.

The light shield was so strong that it withstood until the end of the fourth wave.

However, Link also noticed a fatal weakness.

While the light shield was active, Jasmine couldn’t move.

Once she moved, the light shield would dissipate.

This was a trade-off between dodging ability and defensive power!

Although her practice ended prematurely again, Jasmine was noticeably in a better mood than before.

Progress meant she could continue to improve.

“Link, we should come here often!”

Arriving at the viewing platform, Jasmine said enthusiastically, behaving like a someone eager for battle.

Jasmine did not forget her initial intention of enrolling in Ravensmouth Biological and Medical College.

She still wanted to be a logistic and medical personnel, avoiding direct combat whenever possible.

But Erick’s ambush made Jasmine deeply realize that trouble might find her.

So, one might not like to fight, but one must be good at fighting.

In this day and age, even if you are trying to heal and save people, without some fighting skills, you can’t protect yourself.

Link responded indifferently, “We’ll come two or three times a week, after we finish our work in the lab.”

“Agreed, it’s settled then!”

Jasmine shouted, raising her right palm, extending it towards Link, initiating the gesture for a high-five agreement.

“Childish.”

Link had no interest in engaging in this childish antic, he coldly declined.

However, Jasmine’s right palm was raised high, her left hand held onto the corner of Link’s clothes, refusing to let go.

Tug and pull, such behavior was beneath him.

Link tugged at the edge of his clothes.

Jasmine didn’t let go, she looked at Link, her eyes clear and watery. There were no tears of pleading, just a calm gaze.

Left with no other choice, Link raised his right hand and lightly touched Jasmine’s held-up right palm.

It was a perfunctory gesture.

“Hmph.”

Jasmine immediately raised her head high, like a victorious general, nobly and assertively, she walked ahead of Link and exited the room.

The library, reading room.

Jasmine set aside her excitement from the combat training session and dived into the extensive collection of research materials.

Link sat in a chair, closed his eyes, spent some time in shallow meditation to restore both his spiritual power and magic power, before he started reading the documents.

His recent extra-curricular study task, apart from continuing to research pseudo destiny witchcraft, is to design a crossbreeding experiment plan for Silver Star Flower seeds.

This required him to constantly recall his past life’s botanical knowledge through “Mind Closure Technique” and the Hall of Mind, then combine it with the “Botany” materials from the Wizard World. He needed to synthesize the strengths of both worlds, to discard the useless and retain the essence.

There was no need to rush, he could take his time.

The night deepened.

The two of them left the library, Link escorted Jasmine back to her place on the way to his dormitory.

As Link turned the corner of the staircase, he discovered five figures blocking the entrance to his dormitory.

What’s going on?

Link immediately prepared himself for a fight, the Water Shield Spell and Thorn Entanglement were at the ready, while his spell-breaking sleeve crossbow was aimed at them.

The five people outside the door heard his footsteps and turned to look.

Only then did Link realize, these were same the five students with fifth-rate qualifications.

However, all five students were in a pitiful state, with swollen and bruised faces, they looked like they had been severely beaten.

“What happened to you guys?”

Link asked, his guard still up.

“Boss, we’ve been bullied!”

The five students wailed in unison, “We beg you, stand up for us!”

???

A row of question marks flew over Link’s head.

We don’t have any subordinate relationship, right?

“Speak clearly.”

Link raised his right hand, stopping the five students who were about to rush forward.

“Boss, the president of the ‘New Blood Mutual Aid Association’ is a real jerk. Hearing that we were close to you, he dragged us over and interrogated us about everything related to you. After questioning, he used us to vent his anger and gave us a beating.”

The spokesperson from the five, the one who was most heavily beaten, had a whistle in his pronunciation as he spoke.

“Tell the truth!”

Link didn’t believe this obviously embellished story and immediately demanded with a cold voice.

The five students glanced at each other, hesitating.

In the end, the unnamed spokesman stuttered out, “The president found out we were stealing Vice President Rivers’ magic stones.”

After speaking, the spokesperson raised his voice and said, “Boss, even though someone suggested behind the scenes that we should come to you, please believe that we sincerely want to join you!”

“I’m sorry, I don’t recruit followers, and I don’t have the ability to take some on.”

Link abruptly rejected.

He walked past the five students and directly into his dormitory, slamming the door shut with a bang.

The five students had been rejected at the door..
