Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 118 Unable to Take Shape
Yaro thought that as long as he had the trick and drew a sketch, he could spend a little skill point to learn the trick and easily obtain the 'Secondary Substitute Puppet'.

But this time, the system, which had always been obedient and dutiful, showed no reaction whatsoever.

"Why is this happening?"

Is it because I don't understand this magic trick well enough?

With that in mind, Yaro began to carefully study the structural principles of the 'Abyss Contract Technique'.

Yaro first organized the familiar magic trick structure.

When he first started learning magic tricks, Yaro discovered that most tricks had some fixed structure.

After designing several tricks as skills, relying on the understanding of tricks provided by the system, and comparing it with the feeling of casting normal spells, Yaro's understanding of the structure of tricks became even deeper.

If you asked him to design a completely new magic trick out of thin air, he might not be up to the task; he still lacks experience and skill.

However, he is more than capable of identifying the structure of basic magic tricks.

After carefully analyzing the Abyss Contract spell, Yaro clearly discovered that the trick was actually divided into two parts, and the two parts were even completely incompatible.

Is this the problem?
As Yaro gazed at him, the strange black lines of magic patterns writhed and spun in his eyes like twisting black snakes, causing him to unconsciously frown in discomfort.

Abyssal runes?

He quickly closed his eyes, took deep breaths, and forced himself into a meditative state, interrupting the invasion of the abyssal runes.

The strange sensation in his throat made Yaro cough a few times.

"Cough...poof!"

As a few drops of black blood spurted out, the oppressive feeling in my heart vanished.

"Hoo~!"

Yaro opened his eyes and suddenly noticed that the few drops of black blood in front of him were swaying, as if some creature was trying to struggle out.

"What the hell!"

He frowned, his fingers slightly bent, and he quickly flicked out the 'Heat Melting Technique'. As a few sparks flew, the intense heat rapidly evaporated the black blood, and a foul stench wafted out, gradually thinning and dissipating.

"The Abyssal Runes are far too dangerous!"

Perhaps this is why the system doesn't accept it?
Feeling elated that he had found the key to the problem, Yaro immediately wrote down the other magic runes of the trick.

Once you've learned the other half of the magic trick, you can still prove it to Wizard Bosco; a genius who excels in one area is still a genius.

"If all else fails, we can ask him to perform another trick. But that might waste another skill point."

With this in mind, Yaro wrote with increasing enthusiasm.

The copying speed was naturally very fast. After finishing drawing the entire structure, Yaro casually wrote a few actions, gave them a nice name, and then clapped his hands on the book.

……

"Why? Why is the system still not responding?"

Having possessed the system for over a decade, Yaro knew it was a half-dead system, so he didn't expect it to be able to provide any answers.

However, the system did not confirm that this was a skill book at this time, which means that there are still some key aspects of why the skill book was formed that Yaro failed to notice.

"What could it be?"

Yaro has successfully synthesized four skill books in total, and failed no more than ten times. Moreover, all of these failures occurred during the first attempt to create a skill book, when he was verifying his conjectures.

This time, he plans to use the same old method again.

Enumeration method!
List all the possibilities, and then verify them using different methods!
When Yarrow began to list them, he found that the possible causes were pitifully few.

Because he had verified most of the issues during the initial production.

There are only two conjectures that have not yet been verified.

First, without a complete magic trick, it cannot be transformed into a skill.

Second, all tricks related to abyssal runes cannot be converted into skills, the specific reason for which is unknown.

The first possibility is that Yaro can break down 'Thermal Melting Technique' for verification.

The second possibility... If the first possibility is verified and a skill book can be created, the second possibility is very likely. Copying... altering...

Yaro seized the time and quickly finished a new skill book, then took a deep breath and slapped his hand on it...

……

……

no response!

Failed!
Yaro stared silently at the skill book before him, his heart filled with mixed emotions, unsure of what to do.

Having sat in silence for so long, Yaro had long since figured out why the wizard Bosco would bring out something so precious.

Bosco's meaning is very simple, and he is not afraid of being seen through.

It was a form of protection, but also an apology for the doubts.

If you don't see through it, then nothing will happen.

Have you seen through it all?

Okay, is the Substitute Puppet enough to atone for this recklessness?

The academy has plenty of people, and they're all risking their lives for a dozen or so magic stones. No matter how much Yaro assesses it, he can't honestly say it's not enough.

Even if he succeeds and sees through this, Aro's gratitude will not diminish in the slightest.

The problem now is... it seems like it won't work?
"No, I still have a chance."

People are always forgiving of geniuses.

The day hasn't even passed yet, so if I suggest changing the magic trick, Bosco probably won't refuse.

It's just possible that after changing the magic trick, the secondary stand-in puppet will be gone.

After all... to obtain a secondary substitute puppet, one must know the 'Abyss Contract Technique'.

However, Bosco will not be given the same level of attention.

The problem now is, have I really thought through the key points?

What if I try again and still can't create a skill book?
Could it be due to the abyssal runes?

Yaro opened the system and carefully examined all the information within it.

[Personal Attributes: ...]

[Personal Martial Arts Skills: ...]

[Remaining skill points: 3]

[Personal Level: LV20: 142/30000]

[Personal Martial Arts Quest: ...]

……

Yaro stared intently at the 'Personal Martial Arts Mission,' especially at the word 'Martial Arts,' his pupils involuntarily contracting.

Could it be... that there's still one problem I haven't considered?
Recalling those skill books from the past, Yaro then looked at the pile of scrap paper on the table.

'Solar Fist', 'Body Instant Technique', 'Mist Body Technique', 'Fiery Sword Technique'...

Whether it's the effect, the content, or even the original intention of the research, which one doesn't conform to the will of martial arts?
"Martial arts, martial arts..."

With his eyes barely visible, Yaro carefully considered the meaning of those two words.

Could it be this?
Regardless of the reason, Yaro was prepared to give it a try.

If that's the real reason, and you don't change your original intention, you still won't succeed no matter how many tricks you try.

Moreover, now that new doubts have arisen, what should we do if we don't verify them and the skill book fails to be created again?
Yaro wouldn't pass up an opportunity to understand the system.

Furthermore... the Lesser Stand Doll is really amazing!
