Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 38 Preparation (Seeking Recommendations)

The massive cargo ship moved swiftly, like a red-hot iron knife slicing through butter, leaving a long white trail on the calm sea.

Looking at the calm window, Yaro tried to stick his head out.

boom!
The howling sound suddenly filled Yaro's ears, and the violent wind ripped at his face, causing his eyes to bulge out.

Caught completely off guard, he was suddenly blown away by the strong wind, making him question the meaning of life.

The wind rushed into his mouth, causing his lips to tremble and twist. His blond hair flew wildly across his forehead, and his short braid at the back of his head was also pushed back and forth by the gale, constantly slapping against his cheeks.

Snap, snap, snap...

who am I?
where am I?
Why should I stick my head out?
Why is this seemingly calm wooden boat moving so fast?
This is unscientific!
Are we no longer going to talk about technology?

Hmm...it seems quite witchcraft-like!

By the way—why haven't I pulled my head back yet?
……

Cough!

Nothing happened just now.

After tidying his hair, Yaro sat down properly, took off all his belongings, looked around a few times, and then carefully hid them in a secluded corner of the room.

Among them were magic stones given to him by his mother as tuition fees, gold coins for daily expenses, and the mysterious wooden ball that Teacher Gemma obtained from the strange space.

Teacher Gemma once explained that these precious items obtained from the strange space must have some strange function, but Yaro didn't have time to study the wooden ball.

Thinking of what he had observed earlier, Yaro felt a little relieved.

The rumors said that the thunderstorm area was very obvious, and a black line could be seen from afar, but I didn't see anything like that just now.

But—it should be around in the next day or two.

Although the Jungle House would subject prospective trainees to death tests, they would not allow the accompanying wizards to directly intervene, as that would inevitably sow the seeds of hatred.

Therefore, formal wizards would activate the recording array on the ship first, and then leave in advance.

Today, Nicole openly circled the sky a few times before flying away.

Yaro knew that there would be no danger at this time, because Nicole would wait until the ship had passed through the stormy sea before the danger of the trial would come.

Thunderstorms occur frequently in the sea area, with heavy rain, dim lighting, and turbulent waves, which inevitably slows down ships.

Moreover, any student who has been tossing and turning in a dark room for days will surely yearn for sunlight. Once the ship sails out of the stormy seas and is bathed in sunlight, coupled with the destroyer array diagram left by Nicole, all the students will subconsciously head towards the deck.

The best time to act was when the cargo ships were still slow to pick up speed.

The battle is imminent, and I need to prepare in advance.

First, naturally, you need to prepare bandages. On the one hand, they are to prevent injury and to stop bleeding in critical situations. On the other hand, they are to be used to bind your legs and hands.

After all, there will definitely be a lot of enemies coming. If you don't prepare to bind your legs, blood will pool during a long battle, which will accelerate leg fatigue and may even lead to varicose veins, affecting your performance.

Binding the hands serves a similar purpose to binding the legs.

On the other hand, it is important to stabilize the wrist to prevent wrist sprains.

The bandages tied to the palms also secured the knight's longsword, preventing it from slipping off the palms due to blood and grease.

These are all combat experiences taught by the Knights of Achilles.

As for the bandages, Yaro already had them, custom-made by Knight Kabir. Now he just needed to follow the steps and tie them up properly.

While binding himself, Yaro pondered the specific allocation of system skill points.

Swords and spears have no eyes. Even if Teacher Gemma is still on the ship, when it comes to close combat with the enemy, I'm afraid she won't have time to react.

Moreover, if she were to make a move, he would fail his trial and lose the normal way to enter the wizarding academy.

The greatest value of gold coins is their use. If you don't use them, no matter how many gold coins you have, they are just a symbol of wealth. If you never use them, they are just a pile of garbage that takes up space.

The same goes for skill points. They may be important, and you might even find better uses for them in the future, but right now, you're about to face the first major test in your life, so there's no need to be stingy and continue to save them.

If you're going to do something, do it to the best of your ability. You have a total of 15 skill points. Keep three points for emergencies and use the rest.

In this way, even if you ultimately fail, you will have no regrets!
现在的属性，是力量4、敏捷8、神经反射12、耐力8、体质6。

When activating the Master-level 'Cat Fist - Run' skill, due to the overwhelming amount of information coming in from the surroundings, a neural reflex level of 12 is insufficient to fully utilize the information gathering capabilities of the 'Cat Fist - Run' skill.

Furthermore, even after learning witchcraft, nerve reflexes are a crucial element in combat, so nerve reflexes will definitely be a primary focus.

Secondly, agility.

Agility is essentially the speed at which muscle strength is converted into physical strength.

For example, in running, a higher agility attribute allows the leg muscles to alternate more quickly, resulting in a faster leg rotation frequency.

My stamina is about enough; the rest is up to me to see how it goes. I need to make up for my lacking attribute – strength.

Or increase physical constitution to enhance resistance to blunt attacks and recovery ability after injury.

If I am only injured, as long as the battle is over and the recording array is closed, my mother will definitely not sit idly by. With her, a formal wizard, taking action, what do I have to fear about getting injured?

Based on this arrangement, the attributes I need to allocate points to are Nerve Reflexes, Agility, and Strength. First, put most of your attribute points into Nerve Reflexes; it's an attribute you can't go wrong with.

With this in mind, Yaro pondered for a long time before issuing the command in his mind.

I will work hard myself!

System, give me more points!
[Neural reflexes: 12+6]

"Woo!"

A powerful electric shock quickly spread throughout his body, and Yaro collapsed to the ground. His muscles trembled uncontrollably, as if countless tiny ants were crawling and spreading through his veins and even his bone marrow.

Fortunately, the feeling came and went quickly. A moment later, Yaro, with trembling hands, propped himself up and lay down on the bed.

That's too reckless!

When I was five years old, I added just a little bit of skill, which caused goosebumps all over my body. Although good fortune allowed me to break through to the level of master in 'Cat-Shaped Fist - Running', it also shows that there will be certain changes in oneself when adding skill points.

Perhaps neurons are proliferating?
Yarrow buried this conjecture in his heart; now was not the time to study these things.
At this moment, he was filled with relief. Luckily, he had added points in advance. If he had added points at the last minute, he would have been lying on the ground waiting to die.
However, I must remember this lesson in the future. I'd rather add things little by little than try to become fat all at once.

After lying in bed for a long time until the numbness and itching all over his body subsided, Yaro rested for a while longer before getting up again.

Looking up at the clouds outside the window, I focused my mind slightly and immediately felt the drifting clouds slow down rapidly, somewhat like a 'bullet time' effect. Of course, it was only a very weak version of 'bullet time', but fortunately, it could be used for a long time.

However, the sudden change in vision made Yaro's senses very uncomfortable. His body could not adapt to the feeling, and after only a moment, he felt dizzy.

It seems that after I finish adding points, I should take advantage of these safe days to train properly on the deck.

As Yaro thought this, he issued another command in his mind.

I will work hard!

System, give me more points!
【Agility 8+1】

"Shh!"

It was like being drenched in a basin of comforting hot water when your whole body is freezing, or like getting a full-body massage after soaking in a hot spring. All of Yaro's muscles felt so comfortable that they went limp.

Is this how you allocate points for Agility?
Does it increase the speed of muscle contraction?

Yaro squinted slightly, enjoying the wonderful feeling while wondering what caused it.

Once the feeling of comfort had completely subsided, Yarrow repeated the process of adding points.

【Agility 9+1】

【Agility 10+1】

……

【Agility 12】

A total of 4 points of Agility were added.

Looking at the five skill points remaining, three are reserved for future use, and two can be allocated.

effort!

System, give me more points!
[Strength 4+1], [Strength 5+1]

An invisible force rapidly flowed into all the muscles in his body. Yaro could see with his naked eye that his muscles had expanded slightly, and the sudden increase in power gave him a strange sense of restlessness, as if he had the illusion that he could smash everything.

This is the feeling of having no other attributes added; the increase in power is truly intoxicating.

However, the 'Power 6' clearly stated on the system panel quickly brought Yaro back to his senses.

With nerve reflexes at almost twenty, they weren't exactly superhumanly strong. Six points of strength and they think they can smash everything?
I'm afraid you're just dreaming.

After adding the points, Yaro stretched a bit and, feeling that his movements were unimpeded, put his gray-black apprentice robe back on his body, which was covered in bandages, picked up his knight's longsword, and walked out the door.

He now needs to adapt to his current physical condition, as well as the feeling of sprinting and slashing on the deck. He also needs to observe the deck environment to see which places are suitable for climbing, which places are suitable for guerrilla warfare, and which positions can be used to stall for time.

They even had to prepare for the worst, observe where on the giant ship it would be convenient to jump overboard, and make preparations in advance.

As he passed by Issa's door, Yaro deliberately pricked up his ears. After hearing the faint, rhythmic breathing coming from inside, he felt a little relieved.

It seems the saline solution she had asked the other crew members to prepare has arrived, so she doesn't need to worry about dying from dehydration for the time being.

Judging from her current condition, when it comes to the death test, she might not even have the strength to get up. Staying in her room might be the best way to avoid it.

From this perspective, her seasickness might actually be a good thing.

As Yaro thought this, a smile appeared on his face, and his steps became lighter.

Although he didn't consider himself a good person, he was happy to do a little favor to save the life of a young girl if the rules allowed it.

Isn't Isha only eleven years old?

There is a great chance that I will become a formal wizard in the future. The good deeds I have done today may bring me great rewards in the future.

It's already Monday, everyone! Please lend a hand and give me a recommendation vote!
I'm begging for votes!
