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

Chapter 16, Second Test: The Silvermoon Lake Family's Sponsorship

"Finally, we've broken through."

As the second mental rune coalesced, Ian felt his perception of the outside world expand once again.

This also means that when using witchcraft, two mental runes can be mobilized.

"And the changes aren't just limited to mental strength."

Ian opened the panel.

Name: Ian Green

Age: 12

[Strength: First-class Wizard Apprentice (5/100), Knight (50/100)]

[Talent: 125 (Fourth-Rank Star)]

【Skill:

Spells: Light (Master), Breeze (Master), Dust (Master)...

零环：基础冥想法（专家175/400），狮心骑士法（骑士篇-专家200/400），精神力冲击（专家150/300），巫师之手（精通150/300），魔植辨识（入门90/100）】

The first-class wizard apprentice's progress has reached level 5; indeed, level 5 is a milestone.

Based on this guess, the third mental energy rune should be condensed to level 10.

"And the knights are improving faster and faster."

Ian rubbed his arm, feeling a surge of power within it.

It's clearly an illusion.

After all, even a basic mental attack cannot be dealt with by brute force.

But in a fight, it would at least allow him to be much more agile.

In terms of talent, I have reached 125 in the past few days as I have been learning magic tricks, and I am currently meditating 6 times.

This significantly increased his efficiency.

"However, skills are where the biggest progress is. Meditation should be able to break through to the master level in a month, Knight's Magic and Mental Power Impact should be around 20 days, and of course, there's also Wizard's Hand."

Ian looked at the newly emerged skill.

He activated his mental energy and saw an invisible hand appear in the air, with a water glass on a distant table slowly flying towards him.

This is the new witchcraft I learned this month.

As for plant identification, it has now reached the beginner level of 90, a full 60 points higher than before.

"A full ten magic stones!"

Thinking about the cost of the upgrade, Ian couldn't help but grit his teeth.

An average of one hour of reading can improve one's score by five points, and even with the improvement from lectures, it only reaches 90.

It was the most difficult course for him to improve.

"But compared to those people, it's probably not enough."

Ian pursed his lips.

Especially compared to those who have financial backing or are from wizarding families.

But it doesn't matter, he's improving every time. As long as he has enough magic stones, he'll eventually be able to take first place in this course.

The most important thing is talent.

"I wonder how much talent can be increased by upgrading meditation and zero-ring wizardry to perfection."

Ian was very curious.

The higher the difficulty, the more your talent will be enhanced.

Whether it's meditation, knighthood, or even witchcraft, their difficulty far exceeds that of magic tricks; there's no way they could be any more difficult.

If there were a little more.

Perhaps he can be promoted to a third-tier talent next month.

Once he reaches the third-tier star level, combined with his master-level witchcraft...

The situation will change immediately.

.......

Seven days later.

Wizard's Hand breaks through to Expert level.

Three more days, another monthly assessment.

During the meditation class, Ian had gone unnoticed last time, but this time he attracted a lot of attention.

"Ian, two."

When the test results came out, many people gloated.

"I heard that even Lucy's Silver Wolf family rejected him. He really is just too incompetent," someone sneered.

"He does have some small families offering him financial assistance, but he looks down on them; his ambitions are too high."

Some wizards who did not receive funding were filled with jealousy and resentment.

In the final test results, Lucy was still in the lead, with five mental runes already.

Levy and Baker both reached four.

As for the others, most of them were stuck in a rut of two or three.

Witchcraft test.

The Wizard's Hand is not a contest of power, but of manipulation.

Ian, an expert, naturally took the lead and won first place again.

"Ten magic stones and a common-level spell are yours."

Ian smiled.

"Not bad." Charles nodded, having to admit that this was indeed a magical genius.

In the distance, Harman looked like he'd eaten shit.

Under his brother's guidance, he managed to get tenth place, but he was nowhere near as good as Ian.

"However, the foundation of pharmacy is different."

Harman pursed his lips.

He knew Ian had been to the library, but so what? It was only for ten hours at most.

His brother somehow found a lot of information, and he spent almost sixty hours reading it.

in the afternoon.

The results are in.

"How is that possible? How come he's already 15?"

Harman's eyes widened as he looked at the rankings in front of the classroom.

He watched for a full sixty hours before reaching seventh place. Although Ian hasn't surpassed him yet, his progress is just too exaggerated.

Will he be surpassed next time?

"Impossible, impossible."

Harman shook his head.

That kind of thing is absolutely impossible.

Even if you are a genius, it is impossible without resources. Ten magic stones are definitely not enough.

"The progress is significant, even greater than I expected."

Inside the office, Victor looked at the rankings with amazement.

Even he hadn't expected to improve from nearly sixty to fifteenth.

"But this is probably the limit."

Victor shook his head.

He knew Ian had no financial support.

This is a huge disadvantage.

"The Silvermoon Lake family has been declining recently, which makes them a good fit for him."

After a moment's thought, Victor got up and left.

.......

"The first five difficulties are..."

Inside the room, Ian frowned.

Although he has made significant progress, others have made even more progress.

At this rate, my chances of joining the Potions Club are slim.

Bang bang bang!

A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.

"Who would come looking for me at this time?"

Ian was filled with doubt. He carefully pushed open the door and saw a simply dressed maid standing outside.

"Who are you?"

"My lady, my name is Lily. My master has asked you to meet him at 37 Maple Leaf Avenue tomorrow," the maid said respectfully.

"Who is your father?" Ian asked.

"My master is Chris Silvermoon Lake, a second-class wizard apprentice, and belongs to the Silvermoon Lake family."

After the maid finished speaking, she turned and left.

Ian was somewhat bewildered as he watched the maid turn and leave.

The Silvermoon Lake family?

It seems to be one of the families of the same school, but why look for him?

However, Maple Leaf Avenue was located within the school, and Ian hesitated for a moment before deciding to go there anyway.

.......

the next day.

After informing the members of the mutual aid society, he arrived at Maple Leaf Avenue.

This is a road located south of the residential area.

As night falls, the gilded lamps on both sides emit a soft white light, illuminating the two standalone buildings.

It appears to be the residence of high-ranking wizard apprentices.

"They're both residential areas, but the difference is huge."

Ian sighed and arrived at number 37.

Knock on the door.

Soon, the door opened, and the maid from yesterday appeared.

"Sir, please come in."

The maid led Ian into the room, and a woman came out.

Her fiery red hair and voluptuous figure almost burst out of her wizard robes, making her resemble an alluring rose.

The tapping sound gradually drew closer, and the woman slowly approached, her bright eyes looking at him, almost touching his.

Ian is only 12. Look away.

"He's a shy little brother."

The woman smiled, as if a rose had bloomed.

"I am Chris Silvermoon Lake, Ian, and I am offering you this assistance on behalf of the Silvermoon Lake family."

"Do you accept?"
