Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

The biggest advantage of this part-time job was flexibility in time.

As long as you’ve completed your work duties, your time can be freely organized. There’s no need to spend unnecessary time in the botanical garden or the greenhouse, pretending to be busy and wasting time.

After patrolling back and forth inside the greenhouse and ensuring that all the soil scattered with seeds was adequately watered by the rain, Link finally stepped out of the greenhouse.

Leaving the Third Botanical Garden, Link headed straight for the library.

He found some documentation on the cultivation of ordinary plant and extraordinary plant seeds, and he began reading them carefully, prioritizing information related to the Silver Star flower.

Not long after Link left, Sophie Lucia, a local student and the acting greenhouse director, lifted the greenhouse curtain and walked in.

She first sensed the humidity in the air, the changes in elements and magical power, then picked up a few pieces of soil from different areas and rubbed them in her hands.

“Twice with the secondary Misty Rain Technique?”

Sophie Lucia showed a disdainful expression, laughing, “A country bumpkin is still a country bumpkin!”

The secondary Misty Rain Technique and the Birth Induction Technique are a good combination. It’s no secret in Ravensmouth’s Biological and Medical College, many people are aware of it.

Link had only happened to hear the lecture mention it during a class on “The Essence, Origin, and Development of Witchcraft,” and it was only after a long time researching in the library that he confirmed it.

But for the wizard apprentices in the Junior Division North District where Sophie Lucia is, this was common knowledge.

Moreover, they had a lot of tips on using combinations like the secondary Misty Rain Technique and Birth Induction Technique.

For instance, for Silver Star Flower Seeds that have this kind of problem of lacking vitality in the greenhouse, using the secondary Misty Rain Technique and the Birth Induction Technique once a day for seven consecutive days would stimulate the seeds to germinate.

The college does indeed set challenges for wizard apprentices in some part-time jobs.

As the acting director, Sophie Lucia had certain rights to decide whether to initiate the challenge and the difficulty of the challenge.

She had set a high-difficulty challenge for Link.

Firstly, the information left in the greenhouse was very brief, only the name of the Silver Star flower and a basic introduction, with no mention of the problem with the Silver Star Flower Seeds;

Secondly, the seeds were already scattered in the soil, and anyone not meticulous enough might just cast the secondary Misty Rain Technique according to the job description and leave, risking overlooking something or making a mistake;

Finally, the job description obtained by Link contained wording tricks, it only mentioned needing to cast the secondary Misty Rain Technique and did not mention using the Birth Induction Technique at all, but instead hinted at “awakening vitality.”

Sophie Lucia’s aim was simple, she wanted to get rid of Link, didn’t want to work with Link.

Since the plant garden was under the surveillance of the spiritual entity in the Intelligent Management Center, she couldn’t overtly target Link so she had to resort to petty tricks within the rules.

From the current situation, her petty schemes seemed to be working.

“Humph!”

Sophie Lucia chuckled coldly a few more times, patted her hands, and left the greenhouse.

…

It was late at night.

Link, who had filled up a whole notebook, returned to his dormitory.

The usual routine of washing, changing clothes, and meditating.

But before going to bed, he received a call request from Jasmine.

Jasmine had never contacted Link this late before. Even if she had learned some news from somewhere, she would usually choose to discuss it the next morning.

Her sudden contact now must mean something was up.

Link sat down in the study room and accepted the “video call” request.

Jasmine’s delicate face appeared on the screen, looking a little flustered. As soon as she saw Link, she immediately started speaking, “Link, I got information that Rives Francis gathered several New Bloods with fifth-class qualifiers from our grade to cause you trouble tomorrow! What should we do, Link?”

Link was puzzled after hearing this.

What grudges? What grievances?

Has that Ravens character become a lingering spirit again?

“Don’t panic, it’s not a big deal.”

First, Link calmed Jasmine down, then he asked, “Where did you get the news from, is it reliable? Is there any other news?”

Jasmine took a deep breath to calm her emotions, then replied, “It was the girl who told me about Rivers and Erick before, she just told me.”

“What’s the identity of your friend, she is so well-informed?”

Link asked with curiosity, this friend of hers seemed like a mysterious person with great intelligence information.

“She…”

Jasmine hesitated, then said hesitantly, “She… she is Mina, the girl who was pursued by Erick last year and then harmed and abandoned by Rivers. But she survived, she did not leave the ‘New Blood Mutual Aid Association’, and she has been blocking Rivers in secret.”

“Is it her?”

Link had some doubts in his heart, but he did not voice them to Jasmine.

After thinking for a while, Link reassured, “There is no need to be scared, it’s not a big deal. The college prohibits private fights, and they are just people with fifth-class qualifications, they can’t hurt me.”

Link said this with confidence.

Everyone was a newly-practiced New Blood, no matter how talented they were, at most they were first-rank wizard apprentices now, how many witchcrafts could they learn?

Even if they learned the 0-ring attack witchcraft, could they cast it instantly?

The requirements for an instant cast are too high, how about completing the cast within 5 seconds?

With Link’s current physical fitness, in 5 seconds he can run more than 100 meters, directly punching, a punch as big as a sandbag, the damage was definitely enough.

Unless the other side set up an ambush and killed him directly.

Otherwise, Link was truly unafraid.

Of course, as for vigilance, Link would not relax.

He chatted with Jasmine for a while, after her emotions completely calmed down, Link then hung up the “video call”.

…

On the other hand, Rivers’s mood was getting worse.

After being rejected by Jasmine Kidman and Link Grande, Erick selected several blond and blue-eyed girls for him, who fitted his taste.

But he didn’t know what happened, these girls’ alertness suddenly increased, causing Rivers to fail again and again.

The “Rage Inferno Meditation Method” that Rivers had chosen was not obtained from the college, but a fragment of a high-level meditation technique bought from the black market. Although the meditation progress far surpassed the method the college awarded him, it had two major drawbacks.

First, the intense lust that needed regular venting; second, he was prone to anger, losing control.

The weirdest thing was that this lust not only consumed the body, but also the spirit, consciousness, and willpower.

Therefore, every month, Rivers had to mate with a woman of his taste to alleviate the side-effects of the “Rage Inferno Meditation Method”.

Before getting promoted to a third-class wizard apprentice, Rivers could normally keep his sanity and would not be angry, or act impulsively.

But after the promotion a few days ago, he could barely maintain his sanity.

Added to not venting his lust for the last month, Rivers could hardly control himself.

Erick unintentionally mentioned that it seemed like these girls’ alertness only suddenly increased after Link Grande ignored Rivers.

Rivers, fueled by anger, was determined.

Screw the rules, he would teach Link a lesson first, and vent his anger.
