Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 145 Hurt each other
Bosco took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and looked up at the dazzling starry sky: "In the theories of many powerful wizards, mirrors are linked to space. I let you choose a mirror in the hope that you can obtain a qualification."

When many wizards believe that mirrors are connected to space, regardless of whether the mirrors originally have this property, they will discover some seemingly plausible theories due to the influence of the 'observer expectation effect'.

Not to mention that powerful wizards possess strong mystical properties. When they believe the world should be a certain way, matter, guided by their will, will undergo strange changes.

Noticing the change in Bosco the Wizard's mood, Yarrow guessed, "I didn't qualify... did I?"

"Yes."

A hint of sadness flashed in Bosco's eyes. He leaned forward slightly, his gray hair making him appear even more颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, apathy, and a sense of dejection). "Although you are my student, everything else I have belongs to the academy. My qualification to study in Sky City is one of the few valuable things I have left, but..."

Yaro, however, took it all in stride.

What others give, including parents, is more than you receive. Even if you don't get it in the end, it's not that you've lost anything, but that you've received less. Only what you earn yourself truly belongs to you.

not to mention……

Yaro bowed respectfully and said gratefully, "Teacher, you have already given too much."

In this world, who owes whom?
Ordinary apprentices risk their lives for a few dozen or a hundred magic stones, while a secondary substitute puppet is worth 100,000 magic stones!
Yaro wouldn't calculate the value of a life, but he wouldn't forget what Bosco had already given him.

Bosco looked up at the sky and remained silent for a long, long time.

Castle in the Sky...the sky.

Does the teacher have some regrets there that they want to make up for?
Yaro pondered for a moment, but didn't voice his thoughts. Instead, he cheerfully exclaimed, "Teacher, tell me about the mirror I got! It must be some kind of treasure, right? Tell me about its effects!"

If you don't even have the qualifications to go in, what regrets are you talking about?
Let's just stop thinking about it.

Bosco sighed, shook his head, and smiled at Yaro, "I don't know what the effect will be either. Let me check it out first."

Yaro nodded repeatedly, his face full of anticipation.

What will we gain from mirrors and space?

……

"Huh?" Bosco frowned in confusion and looked at Yaro with surprise.

Yaro asked nervously, "Teacher, is there a problem?"

Wizard Bosco shook his head: "Generally speaking, once you choose a mirror, an enchanted artifact will be created for you based on it."

"But it might be because you chose the 'D' shaped mutual reflective mirror. I could only vaguely sense the existence of the mirror, but when I brought my mental energy close, the mirror disappeared for no reason."

"It seems that you'll have to wait until you reach the advanced apprentice level to slowly investigate the specific effects yourself using your mental power."

Can sense it, but cannot investigate it?

Yarrow recalled the time when he measured the speed of light.

Can't we perceive it unless we're at the most suitable angle?

I must say, it does have a bit of the feel of a 'mirror'.

Is he another advanced apprentice?
“Oh, right,” Yaro suddenly thought of a question, “Teacher, you said before that my ‘Magic Strike’ has the strength of an advanced wizard apprentice. You also said that many powerful advanced wizard apprentices have the strength to fight against full wizards.”

"Then why was I completely powerless against a formal wizard just now?" Bosco said that even a high-level wizard apprentice only possessed the rudimentary 'magic spell', whereas before, Yaro had used his mother's magic to activate the 'Abyss Contract' spell to its strongest form.

Even so, Yaro was still no match for "Skinny Monkey," and when "Skinny Monkey" got serious, he couldn't even withstand a single move.

Isn't that a huge difference?

Bosco's face was serious as he asked in a deep voice, "Yaro, do you know what a formal wizard is?"

Yaro shook his head.

Bosco: "The biggest advantage of becoming a formal wizard is that you unlock the source of magic and can obtain a continuous source of energy, but even a formal wizard's magic power is limited."

"The greatest improvement a formal wizard receives is an improvement in their level of life, an activation of their soul, and, more importantly, an increase in their lifespan."

“I saw your state just now. You were surrounded by the power of the abyss, but that was just an accumulation of energy. You did not make full use of the power contained within it.”

"If you're just accumulating energy, even if you unlock the power of the abyss, how can you compare to a formal wizard who possesses the source of magic?"

Bosco only said a few words, but Yaro already understood.

At that time, he did activate the full-state 'Abyss Contract Technique', but his 'Magic Strike Technique' was still only 'Phoenix Cry'.

The true power of magic comes from the power released during the process of the abyss's power eroding matter, not from the power of the abyss itself.

Just like surging waves, magic only requires the power of those waves, not the water they contain.

If we consider 'Magic Strike' as a hydroelectric power plant, then when Yaro fully activates 'Abyss Contract', it only triggers a tsunami. However, the hydroelectric power plant still only has those few machines, so the amount of electricity generated will not increase much.

Yaro asked curiously, "Teacher, you've also seen 'Magic Magic.' Do you think that if one could reach the highest level, they would be a match for a formal wizard?"

"can!"

Bosco stated definitively, "You don't need to go to the highest level; around the third level is enough to be comparable. But before that, your body will be completely corroded by the power of the abyss."

Bosco glanced at Yaro and added, "Combat strength has never been the standard for measuring a formal wizard. Many tools and treasures have the power to easily destroy a formal wizard. Yaro, don't go astray!"

How could Yarrow not understand this principle?

Putting everything else aside, let's bring over the nuclear bombs from the previous life and see which wizard will be the match.

On a personal level, building hundreds of heavy machine guns could also be lethal to a formal wizard.

The key lies in one's own defense. The most crucial aspect of 'Magic Strike Technique' is increasing movement and defensive capabilities.

Only by doing these things can you prevent yourself from being instantly killed.

However, Bosco's words did open up some new ideas for Jaro.

Defense is indeed important, but if you also have a tool that can kill a formal wizard, then regardless of other factors, you've at least brought the two to the same level, right?
Yes, you can kill me.

But I can kill you too!

Come on, let's hurt each other!
