Wizards: Starting with the Refined Meditation Technique Guide

Chapter 34 On the Eve of Chaos, the Noble Knights Gradually Descend into Madness

Upon hearing the word "health," Leo seemed thoughtful.

Generally speaking, wizards, who possess spiritual energy, rarely fall ill.

Leo asked, puzzled, "Can melee wizards reduce the incidence of diseases among wizards?"

"It's not about directly reducing disease, but rather reducing its occurrence by boosting the wizard's immunity and vitality. As vitality increases, the body becomes tireless, and the mind becomes clearer," Nova said. "Therefore, although melee wizards are not suited for combat, many aspects of this discipline can actually be used to help other wizards gain health and earn magic stones."

"Like the withered wood potion you drank. In fact, some wizarding apprentices consider it a potion that is in high demand and short supply."

"Although we are relatively weak in combat, the value of this discipline does not lie in combat; it has great advantages in other aspects."

Nova's words completely changed Leo's understanding of melee wizards.

Leo said thoughtfully, "Thank you for your guidance, Wizard Nova."

Leo agrees with some of the points Nova made.

However, Leo also disagreed, arguing that while melee wizards have simple combat logic, sometimes simplicity doesn't equate to weakness.

It must be admitted that the monotonous fighting style of melee wizards makes them easy targets.

However, since Leo never intended to focus all his efforts on the melee wizard system, it didn't have much of an impact.

Nova said, "This shouldn't have been brought up by me, but by your assembly's mentor. However, since Wizard Esmond isn't present at your assembly now, it's understandable that you have this kind of misconception."

Nova's words made Leo realize the difference between having a mentor and not having one at a gathering.

Whether it's Sally, the new teaching assistant, or Tesla, who has some teaching assistant experience, their understanding of melee wizards is limited to combat disciplines with low popularity.

However, when it came to mentors like Nova, the strengths and weaknesses of melee wizards were directly apparent.

Rarely did Leo find a mentor willing to communicate with him, so he tried asking, "Wizard Nova, when I cast the Magic Hand spell just now, I needed to keep using a new Magic Hand to switch forms."

"I want to know if it's possible to switch between Arcane Hands while using it, instead of casting a new Arcane Hand."

Nova said, "You're really shameless when it comes to learning this kind of thing."

Leo smiled shyly.

Nova then replied, "Hand of Magic doesn't inherently possess this ability, but if it's an advanced version of Hand of Magic, Advanced Hand of Magic, then it's a spell that allows you to switch forms after using it."

"However, the mental energy required to cast an advanced magical hand is quite large; at the very least, one must condense a mental seed."

Leo said, "Thank you for your guidance, Wizard Nova."

Nova then returned to his small trio.

Camon said, "Nova, this wizarding prospect named Danville is quite promising. Now that the Esmond Gathering is without a mentor, why don't you just take him on as a student of your own gathering?"

Upon hearing this, Nova shook his head and said, "He did exceed my expectations, but that's all... In the wizarding world, there's no shortage of students who can catch my eye."

Nova rejected Camon's proposal.

Leo is indeed very good, but in Nova's mind, Leo's value is still not enough.

Even though Leo is already among the best of his class of freshmen.

But Nova still felt it wasn't enough.

Night falls.

Eiffel sent someone to ask Leo if he wanted to have dinner.

Two knights were sent this time, one was John, and the other was Carrie.

Compared to before, Carrera's attitude is now extremely respectful. When facing Leo, he lowers his head and treats Leo as a wizard.

As for John, for some reason, he gave off a hazy, dreamlike feeling, which made Leo glance at him subconsciously.

John looked directly at Leo and said with a smile, "Hello, Danville."

Compared to the John of the past, the current John seems to have lost his previous reservations and appears very cheerful.

However, this sunlight gave Leo a strange feeling.

It's as if John wasn't actually awake, and was just mumbling these words in a daze.

Leo said, "Knight Carella, thank you for your invitation, but I have brought my own food."

Seeing Leo's refusal, a hint of disappointment flashed in Carella's eyes. He had tried to curry favor with wizards like Leo quite a bit.

However, most of these wizards, like Leo, only pursue the exploration of truth.

These wizards, aside from exchanging ideas with each other as fellow wizards, often take a very detached view of interpersonal relationships outside of their research.

Carrie left with John.

The two returned to the deck, and Carrie said, "John, it's a pity, it seems that it's difficult for you to form a friendship with this classmate of yours."

John said, "I know, Vice Captain Carrera. I'm going to eat now."

Carrie watched John's departing figure, and suddenly, she covered her head.

At that moment, Carrera suddenly felt as if a voice was murmuring in her mind.

"Slaughter, rampage, madness."

"Your heart yearns for these things."

The time has come to prove your strength.

"As a knight, you must wield your longsword and drive away those hateful wizards!"

Carrie rubbed her head, feeling utterly bewildered by these inexplicable thoughts that had arisen in her mind.

Exorcising the wizard?

He must be crazy to have such a thought!

Carrera shook her head, banishing the sudden, crazy idea.

Not far away, Nova glanced at Carrie and John without leaving a trace, then, with a thoughtful expression, he tapped his fingertips lightly on the book, as if pondering something.

Inside the cabin.

Holding a glass of red wine and chewing on a steak, Eiffel shook his head and said, "These wizards are really hard to deal with. They seem to have no idea how to enjoy life. Despite their immense power, they always prefer to delve into their tedious and boring spells."

"Perhaps only someone with this kind of personality could become a wizard."

Eiffel shook his head.

He was very disappointed when he couldn't become a wizard.

But after becoming a knight, he found that it wasn't so bad not to become a wizard. At least he wouldn't become a bookworm who didn't know how to enjoy good food, wine, or beautiful women.

The only thing that made Eiffel envious of the wizards was their immense power.

Eiffel muttered, "I'd much rather deal with the nobles of mortal kingdoms than with them."

"John, what do you think?"

Although Eiffel was not satisfied with John's attitude toward the wizard, he was very pleased with John's aristocratic air.

This kind of guy, who maintains aristocratic reserve and arrogance, is easy for Eiffel to manipulate.

John said, "I've always thought that wizards are inferior to knights."

Hearing John say this, Eiffel was startled and said, "John, don't talk nonsense. Although wizards are indeed a bit strange, we knights are by no means comparable to them."
