Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Announcing Imaginations and Achievements!

Link was excited at this notion.

He started to gather more information, about prolonging the existence of magic blueprints without releasing the spells, about Destiny Witchcraft, enchanting rune objects, and even alchemy of magic tools.

Anything he thought would help complete this vision, whether it was spell casting, enchantment, or alchemy, he planned to utilize any materials and literature he could find in the Advanced Literature Library.

Slightly regretful about his spent “Academic Points”, he was certain there were higher-level materials in those hidden documents.

But there was no point in regretting.

Over a hundred literature titles were displayed on the screen of his personal device.

Link reviewed them and decided to start reading about prolonging the existence of magic blueprints.

As it turned out, as long as history was long enough, there were always pioneers leading the way in research.

The technique of maintaining the magic blueprint for a long time without immediately releasing the spell emerged due to a large-scale war.

Back then, the Wizard World saw an expedition to the Heavens, planning to bring down a civilization slightly inferior to the Wizard World.

The brutality of the war was unimaginable, with heavy casualties at all levels.

Later, a Great Sage proposed the definition of a Wizard Army and the concept of collective magic.

The research on prolonging magic blueprints began and quickly bore fruit.

After a brief rest, more than ten, fully trained, large armies comprising of Great Sages (wizards levels seven to nine) as commanders, Sages (wizards levels four to six) as mid-level commanders, and Official Wizards (wizards levels one to three) as the primary force, devastated the enemy’s best forces in a single battle.

From then on, the scales of the war tipped in favour of the Wizard World.

Regrettably, the decisive battle between the Wizard World and the World of God that shattered both worlds brought about the loss of many precious things and knowledge.

No more powerful armies like the Wizard Army could ever be assembled by the Wizard World.

Collaborative combat, based on maintaining magic blueprints for an extended duration, was also limited to those below the Sage level.

Link could imagine the regret.

It was like the Soviet Union’s steel torrent sweeping across the world, but Russia’s tanks and armored troops could no longer maintain their past glory. Though it differed from Link’s vision, he could learn something from it given their common points.

Link refocused and continued to read the literature, forgetting even to eat lunch.

It wasn’t until Jasmine sent him numerous messages that he was awakened.

She was exhausted after taking the practical exams yesterday afternoon and only recovered after a long rest.

At lunch, Link was rather distracted.

Jasmine was familiar with this situation; it had been the same when he was working on the experiment and “thesis” last time.

So, Jasmine asked, “Do you need any magic stones? I can invest.”

Link shook his head, rejecting the offer from the “tea art lady” who had tasted the benefits, “It’s not like that.”

“Oh.”

Jasmine didn’t insist, simply replied and continued eating.

After lunch, Jasmine returned to the dormitory to rest and rebuild her strength, while Link went back to the library to continue reading literature.

They each did their own thing, without disturbing each other.

Monday of the eleventh week quietly arrived.

The theoretical exams had begun, snapping Link out of his trance.

He had been so engrossed with the literature in the past two days, striving to enact his vision of Pseudo Destiny Witchcraft, that he had lost any sense of time and overlooked the exams.

Luckily, his knowledge reservoir was sufficient, and he didn’t need to revise especially for the exams.

The subjects of the two exams in the morning were “Mathematics” and “Rune Studies”, both of which had extremely difficult questions.

Especially “Mathematics”, which was practically soul-crushing.

From four basic operations to equations, functions, going on to algebra, geometry, and one complex problem even involved calculus.

The examiner seemed to have set the papers recklessly, disregarding whether the New Blood could manage it.

Doing so with an attitude of “as long as I’m happy, everyone should be ‘happy’ too.”

“Rune Studies” was relatively sane, with the hardest question merely asking for hand-drawing a few Elemental Runes… that was all.

After all, it was just a three-dimensional structure, not too complicated.

Just flinging the brush around; as long as you have a hand, you can do it.

After the exam, the New Bloods gradually left the examination room.

The cries that spread across the experimental building last Friday had recurred m the academic building; it was quite pathetic.

They were all students who didn’t study seriously, who were now crying and wailing.

However, those who deserve pity also deserve blame.

If they foresaw this, why didn’t they make an effort in the first place?

Had they been a little more serious, and tried harder, they wouldn’t have ended up in such a miserable situation.

Link shook his head and kept his distance from those who were crying and shouting so as not to be infected with their laziness and disinterest in learning. In the afternoon, there was a more distorted exam.

A Brief History of Wizard Civilization, An Overview of Mental Power and Meditation, The Essence, Origin, and Development of Witchcraft – these three subjects were combined into one exam.

Huge blocks of texts, various charts and formulas, and various three-dimensional structural maps, blended together with no pattern of questions, causing headaches and disordered thoughts.

It was aimed at memory, comprehension, and psychological adjustment abilities.

Without the aid of the ultimate Mind Closure Technique, Link would have been in trouble too.

After the exam, when Link saw Jasmine again, he found that the light had gone out of her eyes.

“I’ve tried so hard.”

“I’ve tried so hard.”

Jasmine repeated these words, her eyes vacant, slightly hunched, she resembled a walking dead.

Link didn’t say anything, providing her with a quiet environment to calm her turbulent emotions.

The exam was divided into two days but the results came out very quickly.

On Monday evening, Link was engrossed in studying at the library when his mobile brain vibrated.

Link was about to take a break and refresh his mind, so he opened the notification.

Upon looking, he found it was the ranking of the scores.

Suddenly he was intrigued.

The result…

The one ranked first was none other than himself, Link Grande.

What was even more ridiculous was that the college specifically attached wizard qualifications and place of origin after his name.

In this way, Link had truly made a name for himself.

After all, a guy with intermediate fourth rank qualifications topped so many geniuses with advanced fourth rank and advance fifth rank qualifications.

What a stunt!

Link guessed he would become a trending topic in the “forum” for a while.

Regaining his composure, Link continued to look down.

The second place was a very low-profile genius girl with advanced fifth rank qualifications named Lanny Taylor, whose score was less than ten points behind Link’s.

This one was a real scholar.

Unlike Link, who relied on the “Mind Closure Technique”.

The name Jasmine Kidman appeared in seventh place.

It proved how important a good partner and learning atmosphere were.

If Jasmine hadn’t changed, and continued with her enthusiasm for socializing and entertainment like when she first enrolled, she wouldn’t have achieved such good results and rankings.

As for the rest, Link just glanced at them, not caring much.

“A storm is coming.”

Sighing, Link went back to reading the literature.

Who made him covet the first prize of the two districts’ competition early next summer?

What is obtained must be paid for..
