Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 13 An Evenly Matched Opponent (Part 1)
"Damn it, damn it! When did he get under the tree?!"

In the shadows, one of the masterminds pounded the ground in hatred.

The second mastermind, Black Cat, grinned sinisterly: "Don't worry, David, these saplings can't stop a werewolf's claws."

“Jemma, didn’t I tell you? I drugged this wolf cub. My original plan was to lure him closer and let the wolf cub torment him. Naturally, I wouldn’t leave the wolf cub with much strength.”

The black cat quickly pressed on, "How much strength does the little wolf cub still have?"

"At most, he's no more than a trainee knight, only slightly stronger than an average strongman."

The black cat was horrified. "What are we going to do? We're no match for Yaro, who can climb trees!"

David's eyes began to flicker, his gaze shifting uncertainly ahead. "Let's see what happens."

……

The werewolf boy stared at the tree trunk, as thick as a person's embrace, not far away. Its fangs were bared, saliva dripped from its mouth, and it revealed a cruel, sinister smile.

"How ridiculous! Did they really think such a thin tree trunk could stop a powerful werewolf?"

"I will pluck you from the tree, tear you into sweet mincemeat, and cleanse my body with your fresh blood!"

Hearing the werewolf's confident and arrogant words, Xiao Yaluo turned pale and became increasingly uneasy.

How to do!
"Teacher Gemma, help!"

Hearing Xiao Yaluo's loud cry, the werewolf's expression changed slightly. Not daring to be negligent, he rushed forward and quickly slashed at the tree trunk with his forelimbs, which had transformed into beast claws.

bump!
The tree swayed slightly, and Xiao Yaluo quickly looked down, only to find that there was no damage to the trunk.

"Where is my power?" The werewolf boy raised his beastly paw, his face filled with disbelief. "This is impossible!"

"Power! My power!"

"what!"

The werewolf boy frantically scratched at the tree trunk, as if seeking confirmation, or perhaps using anger to mask his inner fear.

Xiao Yaluo also noticed that something was wrong with the werewolf. Although he didn't know exactly why, he kept quiet to avoid provoking the deranged werewolf.

We're not far from the castle right now; if we can stall for time, we'll be saved.

……

"silly dog!"

The 'criminal duo' closed their eyes, unable to bear watching.

A moment later, seeing the werewolf boy sitting blankly on the ground, the black cat could no longer bear it and turned around to question him: "David, did you give him a drug to make him stupid?"

David denied it, saying, "No! I just knocked him unconscious."

“Moreover,” David said thoughtfully, looking at the dazed werewolf boy, “I think he’s just overthinking things, which is why he seems so silly. We should give him some more werewolf flowers.”

After saying that, David took out a small bottle and flicked three fingers again.

……

Sniff, sniff!

Whoohoo!
The werewolf boy's breathing became rapid again, his pupils gradually became bloodshot, his veins bulged, and his muscles bulged and moved continuously, like little mice scurrying around on his body. His size even expanded, but his consciousness gradually fell into chaos.

"Ow!"

The werewolf boy, filled with fighting spirit, roared to the sky and charged towards the tree trunk once more.

bump!
The tree shook violently, small branches fell, and withered yellow leaves flew everywhere.

bump!
The werewolf boy relentlessly charged forward, causing the tree to creak and groan. Little Yaro clung tightly to the trunk, his body swaying wildly with it, making him feel nauseous.

What's going on? How did that werewolf get stronger again?!

……

"After using the werewolf flower three times in a row, the suppressive medicine on the little wolf cub is starting to have less effect on suppressing his strength. But it doesn't matter, since Xiao Yalu has the 'Sebastian Repulsion Shield'. The little wolf cub's strength will increase a bit, which will make it easier to suppress Xiao Yalu."

David explained to the black cat beside him, to prevent the cat from doing anything 'foolish'.

"Why do I feel like the wolf cub has become even dumber?" The black cat cautiously surveyed its surroundings while asking, "David, did you cast a silencing spell?"

David smiled slightly and said confidently, "Don't worry, I'm always meticulous in my work. I set it up beforehand, so no matter how loud they make, no one else can hear it."

……

Although most of the people in the castle had been sent out, it wasn't completely deserted. At least the maids were still there, and a few guards remained. But for some reason, despite calling out for so long, there was no response from inside the castle.

Hearing the tree trunk's continuous 'mourning,' and through his years of climbing trees, which had honed his sensitivity to the tree's structure, he knew that the large tree was about to collapse.

No one has come to the castle yet; we can no longer afford to have any illusions. We must save ourselves!
Looking around, the nearest tree was seven meters away.

I wonder if the werewolf can catch up with me from this distance.

But he had to take the risk!

Xiao Yalu took a deep breath. He didn't know if he had made the best choice, but at that moment, his heart was pounding and his adrenaline was surging. He could no longer calm down and think things through!

Click!

The tree slowly tilted, and Xiao Yaluo was on edge, staring intently at the ground.

He couldn't just jump down from the tree; he wasn't a cat and couldn't withstand such a fall. At the same time, he needed to constantly observe the werewolf out of the corner of his eye and pay attention to its movements.

"Roar!"

The tree leaned again, its trunk almost broken, but it hadn't completely fallen because a few thick branches were supporting it on the ground.

'Oh, your pose is so beautiful! It reminds me of that silly little bird. Do you know what happened to it?'

The teasing voice of Teacher Gemma inexplicably echoed in my mind.

'Its foot is stuck, wedged into the tree trunk! Oh ho ho ho~'

Little Yaro dared not wait any longer, and kicked out with both feet like a wildcat hunting.

As soon as he landed, he quickly braced his hands on the ground and his body sprang up.

Without thinking twice, he focused all his strength on maintaining his balance and ran towards the large tree not far away.

……

The black cat cried out anxiously, "David, don't let him get away!"

"Don't worry, I'm prepared!" David picked up a gem and quickly chanted a spell, "Cat's Agility!"

An invisible force permeated the werewolves.

……

Swish!
Hearing the rapid footsteps, even without turning around, Xiao Yaluo knew from the strong wind pressure that he had made a grave mistake. He couldn't outrun the werewolf, who was now rapidly charging towards him!

How similar is the "special training" that Teacher Gemma gave herself yesterday to this scene?

But today, it seems I have no way to escape.

Dodge!

bump!
Like a muffled drumbeat, a powerful impact came from behind.

pain!
Xiao Yalu gritted his teeth, his body flying out like a ball.

But... it's still bearable!
'Jump, jump, yes! That's it, like a silly hamster, leaping through the air. All I have to do is run over quickly, open my mouth, and wait for the sweet hamster meat to fall into my mouth.'

The words that flashed through his mind seemed to best describe the situation. Xiao Yaluo understood that he was in danger after being knocked away.

With his back hunched and waist bent, Xiao Yalu curled himself into a ball to resist the impending attack and to reduce the secondary injury from falling to the ground.

……

"The wolf cub's strength is a bit excessive!"

The black cat jumped up immediately, its body emanating a gray-black mist that condensed into a skull shape. It swung its claws at the werewolf, shouting, "Weakness!"

"Speed ​​enhances his strength, but don't worry, he can't break through the 'Sebastian Repulsion Shield.' At most, Little Yaro will just get a small bruise."

Although David said this, he quietly lost his 'cat-like agility'.

As the black cat chanted the spell, a gray mist quickly enveloped the werewolf.

The werewolf's dark fur turned ashen as if touched by flames, and his spirits quickly waned. He became hunched over, as if carrying a heavy load, and looked old.

But relying on the momentum from his previous run, he still quickly pounced on Xiao Yaluo, who was falling towards the ground.
