This wizard only wants to take students.

Chapter 186: "Body Refining Wizard, from Entry to Grave"

"Special classes..." On the other side of the airship, several wizards and wizard apprentices from Winterhold stood on the deck, and the voices of many new wizards' discussions came to their ears.

"What the hell is going on at Grey Bone Academy?" a third-level wizard apprentice muttered in a low voice. He was confused and bewildered by the Grey Bone Academy's "deviant" behavior.

"Don't talk nonsense." Wizard Saud interrupted the apprentice's muttering in a deep voice. He walked slowly to the edge of the deck, lowered his head slightly and looked down at the wizard apprentices who were discussing the special class below, with a serious expression on his face.

As a formal wizard, his vision was naturally higher than those wizard apprentices. At this time, he associated the "special class" with Lucian's previous efforts to promote academic exchanges between the Greybone Academy and Winterhold, and immediately felt that Lucian seemed to want to make something big.

After all, promoting these things, whether it is adding training methods for the body-refining wizard route or cultivating wizard apprentices with specialized abilities, is a thankless investment for the Gray Bone Academy, especially for those individuals at the formal wizard level.

Moreover, the Graybone Academy spent a considerable amount of money to sign a contract with Winterburg and hired two third-level wizard apprentice-level body-refining wizards to stay at the Graybone Academy.

Unless... the Grey Bone Academy wants to make a big move, such as expansion, or something even more wild, and wants to go a step further and become the overlord of the wizarding power in the entire continent!
After all, Lord De La Torre is about to reach the end of his life. If he cannot advance to the final stage and become a Dawn Wizard, he will die in the near future, and the many wizard forces that have surrendered to his majesty will also fall apart because of De La Torre's death, and they will fight each other!

And Gray Bone Academy seems to be one of the schools with great ambitions.

"Hiss..." Saud couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If they hadn't come to the Grey Bone Academy for exchanges and study, they probably wouldn't have known about the ambitions and tricks behind the Grey Bone Academy. With the Winterburg leader's lazy character, he might have been kept in the dark even before the Grey Bone Academy erupted.

"What a sinister guy..." Saud took several deep breaths and finally suppressed the uneasiness in his heart about this matter. However, he subconsciously identified the mastermind behind the scenes as the highest level of combat power behind the Grey Bone Academy - the Grey Bone Wizard.

"Could it be that the Gray Bone Wizard feels that he has a chance to be promoted to a third-level wizard, so he starts to ask the Gray Bone Academy to cooperate with him? I heard from the castle lord before that the Gray Bone Wizard had the good fortune to obtain a very precious secret core, and used that core to trade with Lord De La Torre and gained a lot of benefits..."

Perhaps the Gray Bone Wizard used this opportunity to gain the confidence to be promoted to a third-level wizard, or even to have the ambition to dominate the continent after the death of Lord De La Torre... A complete outline of the conspiracy emerged in Wizard Saud's mind.

With such a "script" as a preconceived impression, Saud now feels that any clues he sees can be compared with his own guesses, and he gradually becomes convinced of his own ideas.

"I must have a good talk with the castle lord when I get back. We must be more cautious against that old guy, the Gray Bone Wizard." Wizard Saud became alert, and then he whispered something to a wizard apprentice and patted him on the shoulder.

The latter also understood what was meant, and quietly squeezed in among the wizard apprentices who were checking the announcement, and wrote down the complete content of the announcement.

"Healer? Defense wizard... If we add the body-refining wizard, that's four types of wizards with different specialties. Although the other three types of wizards definitely don't have as much potential as the body-refining wizard, they can all come in handy in the battles of the wizard organization..."

Saud nodded slightly. He now regretted the contract he had signed with the Gray Bone Academy. When he thought that the wizard apprentices of his academy would become part of the Gray Bone Wizard's big plan, he felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.

Can I make a fuss about this matter to slow down the preparations of Gray Bone Academy?
Saud narrowed his eyes slightly and began to think quickly in his mind.

Soon, Saud's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand where his breakthrough was.

Although the contract cannot be changed once it is signed, he can make some changes to the teaching content. According to the current plan of Gray Bone Academy, they need a large number of third-level wizard apprentice-level body-refining wizards who can fight as the main force of the battle, so some quick and simple body-refining methods are what Gray Bone Academy needs most.

If he wanted to destroy the Gray Bone Academy's plan, he only needed to do the opposite and provide the Gray Bone Academy with some obscure and profound body refining methods.

As a result, the Graybone Academy will not be able to train a large number of physical wizard apprentices in a short period of time. Even if there are a few wizard geniuses who can achieve some success on the path of physical wizards, they will not be able to form a large scale, and the future academy war will not threaten the interests of Winterhold at all...

Even if the Gray Bone Academy knew about this, there was nothing they could do to him. After all, what they taught was correct. If they couldn't learn it themselves, that was their problem and had nothing to do with the contract.

After all, if this person is not good, we can’t blame the uneven road, right?

Thinking of this, Wizard Saoud felt happy, a smile appeared on his face, and then he turned and walked towards the cabin where they were resting. "Teacher Saoud..." His action attracted the attention of some Winterhold apprentices.

"I'm going to my room to write a lesson plan." Saud was in a very good mood at the moment. He even used the word "lesson plan" in a very fashionable way.

"Yes, a detailed lesson plan for teaching the experimental class of Gray Bone Academy."

"Lesson plan?" Several wizard apprentices looked at each other, wondering why Wizard Saud was suddenly so concerned about this matter at the Grey Bone Academy. They still remembered that before coming to the Grey Bone Academy, Wizard Saud was very disdainful of the Grey Bone Academy and the elemental wizards.

Even if they signed a contract with Gray Bone Academy, in their opinion, it was just a "false agreement" because the Gray Bone Academy offered too much.

But now, Wizard Saud is so concerned about the terms of a transaction contract?

This made several wizard apprentices look at each other in bewilderment, especially the two third-level wizard apprentices who would be staying at the Grey Bone Academy permanently. After looking at each other, they made clear their thoughts - teaching at the Grey Bone Academy must be done with care and effort, and they cannot be fooled around, let alone sloppy.

After all, Wizard Saud takes this matter very seriously and is paying close attention to it personally!
They must be fully alert to deal with this matter!

Wizard Saud did not notice the little movements between these wizard apprentices. He was happily recalling the contents of a book on body refining. He felt that the methods recorded in this book on body refining were very suitable as the teaching method for the Gray Bone Academy's specialty class.

Because this method, although it can cultivate excellent body-refining wizards, and even allow them to maximize their physical potential at the level of wizard apprentices, from the perspective of training results, this body-refining method is considered the best even within Winterburg.

If it was the previous wizard Saud, he would probably be reluctant to hand over this body refining method to the Gray Bone Academy, but would plan to use ordinary body refining methods to get by with it.

But now, he has changed his mind. He is ready to "selflessly" teach this powerful body-refining wizard to the wizard apprentices of the Gray Bone Academy, and he is not even worried that the wizard apprentices of the Gray Bone Academy will become powerful body-refining wizards through this.

Because Saud knew that this kind of body training technique had one major flaw, which was that it would ruin wizard apprentices.

In the history of Winterhold, there were some wizard apprentices who thought they were very talented, perseverant, and determined and tried this kind of training method. However, they either collapsed in the process of training because they could not bear the inhuman torture and became crazy fools, or they died directly in the process of training because their bodies could not withstand the impact of the violent training method.

Body-refining wizards who can truly achieve success using this body-refining method are extremely rare in the history of Winterhold.

Therefore, even though he knew that the effect of this body-refining technique was very powerful, Wizard Saud was not worried at all that leaking it to the Grey Bone Academy would cause adverse effects. He even hoped that the Grey Bone Academy could send more wizard apprentices to try this path so that the wizard apprentices of the Grey Bone Academy could "consume" more.

Of course, in order to prevent "returns" from the Gray Bone Academy, Wizard Saud also wrote a simple body refining method for ordinary body refining wizards.

If you choose that kind of body refining method, although there will be no danger, the effect of tempering your body will be greatly reduced. It is similar to that inferior basic meditation method. Using that simple version of the body refining method, it may be very difficult to even be promoted to the third-level wizard apprentice.

"It's a pity for that nice little guy, but since he is from Gray Bone Academy, we can only blame his bad luck."

When writing the lesson plan, Saud couldn't help but think of the outstanding body-refining wizard who had left a deep impression on him. He understood that the body-refining method he had given to the Gray Bone Academy might also be used by that wizard apprentice in the future, which made him feel a little regretful, but in the end he just shook his head and let the matter go.

What he has to do now is to go all out to "help" the Gray Bone Academy train a team of body-refining wizards.

Well, a teaching quip from Graybone Academy seems to fit the lesson plan he has produced:
A body-refining wizard, from entry to burial.
