The Magical Path Of The Wizard With A Biological Chip

Chapter 262 Experiment

Feidnan City, Mages' Tower.Leon met the five apprentices assigned to him in his room.

Two pseudo-Mages and three advanced apprentices. All of them were very young.

In general, anyone that could make it to a pseudo-Mage or apprentice Mage by fifty years old had the potential to become an Mage. And these individuals were the ones the clan were willing to expend resources in order to cultivate! On the other hand, all of those apprentices that had made their way to advanced apprentices through grinding and time were well aware of their own situation. They knew it was virtually impossible for them to become Mages. All of them had already given up on that path and went on to the worldly realm to enjoy the offerings of local nobles.

There was one female each among the pseudo-Mages and advanced apprentices assigned to Leon. They were fairly pretty and beautiful. However, using his elementium sight, Leon could still see the light residue left on their faces from magical facial reconstruction.

The apprentice Mages bowed respectfully as they waited on Leon. They didn't even dare to breathe too loud. It was clear that even they had heard of Leon's terrifying name as the Flame Demon. However, one could tell from the excited gleam in their eyes that they were still extremely satisfied that they were able to become the disciples of the famed Flame Demon. Their excitement and joy was hard to hide.

No one knew why, but even the reckless Lucy showed up for this meeting.

She put her hands on her waist and stood beside Leon. Her eyes circled the two female apprentices, darting about as if she was scheming something.

"This is the first time we have met each other. Give me a simple report on your names and re

Even though they were all considered valuable assets by the Sarubo Clan, it was still a dangerous thing to collaborate with an Mage in their experiments. Not anyone dared to try something like that.

Most Mage experiments include taboo and forbidden topics. The risk was obvious.

Even though participating apprentices would be able to enjoy the fruits of the experiment and research, the damage to their minds and bodies was uncertain. No apprentice confident in their future would choose this path under normal circumstances. Only the fellows that had depleted their potential or were in desperate need of funds would take the risk and volunteer as experiment collaborator to attract the teacher's attention and favor.

"O' respected teacher, we were wondering what your experiment involved?" The pseudo-Mage named Kodar couldn't help but bow and ask.

"It is related to illusions!"

All of the apprentices looked towards Advanced Apprentice Toril. He was the only one with illusion affinity among them. He was clearly the most suited to become the 'experiment collaborator' from their group!

Toril felt the burning but intangible pressure from everyone and had no choice but to take a step forward. He bowed and said, "Teacher, I am willing to participate in your experiments on illusions!"

"Oh... " A gentle smile appeared on Leon's face, "Are you doing this voluntarily?"

"Indeed!" Toril put up a very reluctant smile that looked even more terrible than if he was sobbing, "It is my honor to be able to participate in your experiments!"

"Very well then, let's sign a contract!"

Leon nodded in satisfaction. He waved his hand and grabbed a scroll out of the air. This magical scroll, forged of pure fire, had appeared out of thin air and was slowly hovering before Toril.

Toril rubbed his eyes, leaned against the scroll, and carefully read through every clause in it. After confirming that the content matched Leon's words, he carefully left his emblem on the scroll.

The scroll crackled and disappeared in a whirlwind of fire.

"If there's nothing else, you may leave. Toril. Make some preparations and come over at seven tonight!" Leon was in a very good mood, having found an experiment collaborator like he had wanted. Even his smile was wider than usual.

The apprentices bowed together and slowly left.

Lucy's rolled her eyes and quietly followed them out.

One hour later she returned triumphantly, like a little fox that managed to steal the chicken from the farmer.

"How was it?" Leon put down the book in his hands and asked lazily, "How many of them did you beat?"

"Five! All five of them got beaten up by me." Lucy spoke arrogantly and in disdain, "With what little prowess they had, I could take them on all at once!"

Leon frowned when he heard this, "You didn't hurt that Toril, did you?"

"Of course not!" Lucy had been in a good mood ever since she got a spacestone from Leon, "I know he still has a job to do tonight, so I only trapped him in my Spatial Prison. He surrendered after realizing he couldn't do anything!"

"The others?" Leon asked curiously.

"I beat them black and blue! All of them are going back to treat their wounds." Lucy waved about a small fist like she was the queen of violence.

Leon tilted his head. He could totally imagine everyone's helplessness before Lucy's impenetrable Spatial Barrier. Honestly, if it wasn't for his powerful golems, Leon with just his fire affinity would have an impossibly hard time suppressing Lucy.

With her unbelievably broken space affinity, Lucy had unimaginable offense, defense, and mobility. Just these three were enough to make Lucy nearly undefeatable against ordinary pseudo-Mages. They couldn't beat her, nor could they even run from her.

People who battled with Lucy were in for an experience of pain and agony!

...

Dusk fell, and Toril had already appeared at Leon's dwelling.

Leon's task for him was extremely simple as well.

He gave him a knowledge crystal used to store Spirit. There were ten extremely unique magic runes hidden within the crystal. What Toril needed to do was to write out the runes one by one, and as he did so, he needed to record his experiences.

Leon had even set up a hidden room for this specific purpose, to have Toril finish this series of seemingly simple tasks. Of course, he had already hidden many monitoring crystals in every corner of the hidden room. These crystals would very clearly display Toril's every action to Leon, who would be sitting in the room next to this one.

To encourage this advanced apprentice chosen to be his lab rat, Leon had even promised to provide Toril with three books related to potions studies.

Thus, Toril unhesitatingly walked into the room.
