Chapter 2 Enrollment Planning
"In the wizarding world, strength is respected and knowledge is supreme." In the Ashbone Academy library, Lucian closed the book in his hand and sighed silently in his heart.
This is the third day since he traveled to the wizarding world. Combining the memory of the original owner with some information he had found in the library in the past few days, he had a rough understanding of the wizarding world and the wizarding organization he was currently in.
Wizards, simply put, are a group of scholars who use knowledge as a crowbar and pry the rules to gain power.
Rational and cold-blooded, wise but crazy.
The relationship between wizards is more alienated and cruel than the world before Lucian traveled through it. It is almost a vivid interpretation of the jungle law of the weak and the strong.
If you want to protect yourself, you have to become stronger!
"From a certain perspective, my system is actually quite suitable for the wizarding world. After all, using the knowledge you have already mastered to 'exchange' more advanced knowledge is a very cost-effective deal for wizards ”
"For wizards, knowledge is power, a lever to leverage the rules, and the core competitiveness among wizards."
There was a glint in Lucian's eyes, but it soon dimmed.
"Unfortunately, before binding students, the system's help to me is negligible. To bind students, students must be willing from the bottom of their hearts."
Lucian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
These days, it's not like he hasn't thought about looking for a "backdoor" in the system and trying to find ways to circumvent the rigid condition of binding students, but all his attempts have ended in failure.
Sad.
Lucian took a deep breath and let it out gently.
If it were an ordinary situation, Lucian's desire to improve his strength would not be particularly strong. After all, as long as he survived the most difficult period at present, it would be relatively easy to find a student in the future after his strength recovers.
But the current situation is really special.
His mentor, the official wizard Pinol, is dead. This also means that his biggest backing in the academy is gone.
According to the rules, third-level wizard apprentices will be assigned a mandatory mission every three years, and Lucian's next mandatory mission is less than a year away.
By then, without the protection of the backstage, Lucian could easily be sent to perform the most dangerous tasks by the official wizards who arranged mandatory tasks.
According to the memory of the original owner, for a mandatory task of that level, the mortality rate of generally third-level wizard apprentices is over 50%.
And what about Lucian? The situation is worse.
You must know that in order to suppress the injury, the original owner had basically sold off the witchcraft tools he used in battle and some temporarily unused resources early, and replaced them with potions and magic stones.
Although the injuries were suppressed at this time, the potions and magic stones had been almost consumed, and apart from the wizard robe, he had almost no other witchcraft tools for combat. Compared with its heyday, its combat strength can be said to be inferior to that of its heyday.
If your combat power cannot be improved before then, and you encounter a mandatory mission, you can basically look forward to whether there will be another time travel.
Therefore, he must restore his strength as much as possible before the mandatory tasks are assigned to him.
But when the magic stones were scarce and the accumulation was exhausted, the only key Lucian could think of to break the situation was his own system.
Only if the system can provide him with knowledge or other help in a short period of time can his strength be improved step by step in a short period of time. Therefore, Lucian is in urgent need of a student now!
Of course, Lucian also considers himself a good mentor. And he is a high-quality mentor who is hard to find even with a lantern in the wizarding world.
After all, in the wizarding world, there is no so-called master-student relationship. The mentor and the student mostly use each other.
In most cases, tutors act as exploiters, using limited knowledge and providing shelter to squeeze benefits from students.
Even some unscrupulous tutors will take advantage of contract loopholes or information gaps in knowledge to lead students astray through misleading, partial concealment, hints, etc., so that they become the tutor's experimental subjects without being clear about it.
But Lucian is different. When he teaches students, he really teaches students for the sake of teaching students. He is definitely serious, responsible, patient and careful.
But without students, everything is in vain.
What's more, the apprentices in the Academy of Ashes where Lucian is located have all gone through the cruel erosion of the wizarding world. Even if Lucian told them that he was much better than other instructors, they would probably not believe it, and would even think that he was. Lucian must have some ulterior evil purpose.
It is unlikely that they will sincerely become apprentices, and they will not be able to meet the most basic conditions of the system, and their recruitment will be in vain.
"So, for me, there are actually only three ways to acquire students." Lucian raised his head slightly and looked out the window at the gloomy night sky.
First, choose an ordinary person without wizard talent to make the transition. Although they do not have the possibility of becoming wizards, it should be no problem to learn the most basic knowledge, which can help me transition through the most difficult period now.
However, this method will 100% waste a quota of bound students, and may even cause the system to become unusable in the future.
Lucian frowned slightly. This plan was the easiest one he could think of so far, but the drawbacks were huge. It would be an exaggeration to say that it would kill the goose to obtain the egg.
The second is to buy wizard apprentice level slaves! Those slaves whose souls have enslavement runes implanted into them can be said to be absolutely loyal from their souls, and becoming a disciple is definitely not a problem.
However, the disadvantage is that it is expensive! The weakest first-level wizard apprentice slave needs thirty magic stones... All the assets in my hands now are converted into one hundred magic stones. Thirty magic stones can buy a wizard apprentice level. Slave, the burden is too great.
Lucian was also a little dissatisfied with the second plan. After all, most of the enslaved apprentices had poor qualifications, and most of the wizards who bought them did so for a precious experimental subject that was absolutely obedient and obedient.
Buying slaves for teaching? This is really outrageous. What's more, Lucian didn't have many magic stones left in the first place.
The last resort is to find new blood for the wizards.
New blood, a blank paper is easier to draw on, and easier to fool... ah no, it is easier to guide and teach.
What's even more coincidental is that this year the academy is recruiting new airships, and if nothing else goes wrong, they are already on their way back.
In a week at most, they will arrive at the Ashes Academy. Either become a great wizard in the future, or become part of the natural cycle of the Ashbone Forest in the future.
The only problem is how to recruit a student from the new blood, a good student.
To be fair, at this stage, my competitiveness is definitely not as good as other third-level wizard apprentices, let alone competing with official wizards. If you let those new blood choose freely, you may not be able to receive a student.
However, since conventional methods did not work or the competitiveness was too low, Lucian naturally had other ideas.
