Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 168 Black Flame Tremors
Desi could only plead his case loudly, hoping to awaken Yarrow's conscience.

"It's only been so long, and you've already forgotten all about Delia?!"

...Through the billowing smoke, a hot but adorable girl walked in, coughing.

"Don't you remember the help she gave you?"

...He's clumsy and slow-witted. Even when helping with cleaning, he manages to break all the few pieces of furniture in the dorm room.

...The slender figure carrying a huge log bed made Yaro famous among her fellow students.

"Don't you remember asking to stay the night?"

...Upon hearing that she had become a junior apprentice in one go, she became completely dumbfounded, turning into a silly, adorable girl with an expression that could be turned into a meme.

The eerie fish charcoal, the constantly collapsing doors, the need to mend clothes for two days after washing them... her everyday style is that of a brute with superhuman strength, which has nothing to do with her sweet appearance.

"You went into that strange space alone, do you know how many times she's caused me trouble?"

...Figures waiting in the early morning, preparing for battle.

It doesn't look appealing, but it's the only decent food it has... fish charcoal.

A reminder to avoid recklessness, greed, and fear...

After a long battle, I slept soundly until dawn, then took a specially prepared medicinal bath.

and also……

Yaro remained silent, resolutely threw Desi out of the courtyard, and closed the iron gate directly.

bump!
bang bang bang!
A loud banging came from outside the iron gate. Desi frantically pounded on the gate, shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Delia has been taking mental activation classes for years, but she still won't talk to me about the magic stones she's used!"

"But she borrowed magic stones from me because of you, just to buy you a sea monster leather armor!"

"She has told me countless times that she wished you were our... younger brother!"

"But look at yourself now!"

"Do you still have any humanity?"

"Do you deserve Delia's high regard?"

"Are you... even human?"

bang bang bang...

"...Waaaaah!"

The knocking was gradually fading. Leaning against the iron gate, Yaro listened to the barely audible sobs and once again lifted his heavy footsteps.

He slowed his pace, subconsciously not wanting Desi to know that he had been eavesdropping.

At this moment, the heavy lead and iron armor seemed even heavier than usual.

The breastplate, which should have fit properly, constricted Yaro's chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

The fragrance of the fish glue was so strong that Yaro found it cloying.

As he walked slowly forward, several small cushioning sacs around him, which had shifted in position, burst with a faint sound, but to Yaro's ears, it sounded extremely jarring.

What I received... wasn't just the 'left tooth gift,' but also a 'right tooth sword'!

Keitan...

"For every additional mental energy detection class I take, I earn one more magic stone from the academy. I've already earned six magic stones from the academy!"

"Both my grandfather and my father proposed to her in person..."

"I asked you to bring me food, and you expect me to call you 'Dad'?"

"If you have food, call me brother; if I ask you to bring me some, you call me son?"

"Yarlo, there's a defensive knight lesson tomorrow, and the female apprentices will be dressed very scantily, but I'm not going..."

……

Three spirited individuals stood beneath a vast starry sky.

"If I die, it'll all be over. If I don't die, I'll definitely become a senior apprentice before you!"

"I'm not as smart as Yaro, nor as capable as my senior, but I'm not lacking in contribution points!"

……

Yaro looked at the dusty, luxurious cross-shaped longsword in his hand and silently put it into his spatial ring.

This is the only gift left for the Twin Fangs: that comfortable sea monster leather armor, which was completely corroded by the power of the abyss because of the excessive use of 'Magic Strike' earlier.

Looking at the dense array of bombs around him, Yaro remained silent for a moment before getting up and collecting them one by one.

He hadn't planned to do this beforehand; if he had used bombs during the rescue, the other wizards would definitely have become suspicious.

But... Desi's words jolted him awake.

Punishment should not be the ultimate goal; all energy and resources should be focused on the rescue. What good would punishing the other wizards be if the rescue fails?

"System, add points to Magic Strike!"

Bosco once commented that the power of the third level of 'Magic Strike' is comparable to that of a formal wizard.

Fortunately, Yaro still has two skill points left.

Of course, Bosco added a follow-up statement: 'Before that, your body will be completely corroded by the power of the abyss.'

This can be resolved by the formal wizarding magic within the pendant.

As for the problem of not being able to breathe in the dense abyssal power, the armor also has a magic-patterned version of an electrolyzed water breathing device.

The severe recoil problem is mitigated by the armor's hard outer shell and internal multi-layered cushioning structure.

Everything that Yaro had prepared for potential wizard enemies turned out to be used on the academy's 'mentors'.

[Ding! Magic Strike skill upgraded!]

[Ding! Magic Strike skill upgraded!]

Yaro closed his eyes slightly, rapidly adding many memories to his consciousness.

Magical fighting is just a fighting technique, so it doesn't require adding physical memory. Instead, a large number of neural structures can be added to the mind, where the sensation of soreness is more intense than the physical changes.

Twisting, pain...

The veins on Yaro's forehead bulged continuously!
But he didn't say anything.

……

If "Phoenix's First Cry" represents the phoenix's birth, then the third level, "Black Flame Shaking Wings," represents the proud fire phoenix entering its youth and about to spread its wings and take flight.

Apprentices can use this to gain power comparable to that of wizards.

The cost is also extremely high!
First, let's talk about the armor. Don't be fooled by the unassuming armor on Yaro's body. It is engraved with various magic patterns and has been crafted with all sorts of intricate structures. The total cost exceeded two hundred magic stones!

Even so, this suit of armor is only for one-time use!

The armor will be corroded by the power of the abyss, and once the internal shock-absorbing device is activated, it cannot be repaired.

The magic of pendants is even more pronounced.

Yaro cannot use it frequently, because each time magic power is consumed, the time during which the spiritual energy is retained is shortened.

There are still two skill points to spend...

"Pendant magic unleashed!"

hum!
Thick streams of magic flowed from the pendant. The lead-iron armor contained complex guiding structures made of precious, extraordinary metals, which acted like circuit boards, regulating and guiding the magic.

Because of these complex guiding structures, Yaro no longer needs to slowly guide magic to build the basic structure of 'Magic Strike'.

In just a moment, the magic in the pendant had covered the entire suit of armor.

Yaro issued another command in his mind.

"Activate - Demonic Strike Technique!"

boom!
A burst of black flame suddenly erupted, but then gradually subsided.

On the surface of the lead-steel armor, a pattern of a proud divine bird slowly spreading its wings and soaring into the sky has been formed.

"Lurking, hiding... it's not time to unleash our full power yet!"

Yaro thought to himself, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.
