This wizard only wants to take students

Chapter 21: ‘Stable’ Lucien

[Your student Carly has respect for you, respect value +50]]
Lucien looked at the young girl light in her eyes, and the corner of his mouth hooked up.
‘The ambition is commendable.’ Lucien praised, but was looking towards the space not far away, ‘But I feel like what you need to do now is to make up for all that time you just wasted. Otherwise, I’m going to be dragging my feet today.’
Carrie looked at Lucien, smiling ‘kindly’ at the moment, and suddenly felt that Mentor Lucien’s transition between sacred and demonic seemed to be in a single instant.
‘Yes ……’ Carly’s voice wilted a bit, but still honestly continued the boring practice.
……
Bang–
With the sound of a slight explosion, a ball of light blue ‘Chuchu Gum’ floated in Carly’s right hand.
‘Mentor Lucien, I did it!’ Carrie let out a cheer.
However, Lucien didn’t smile; instead, he looked a little confused. This was because the expected system message did not pop up. It did not provide him with the upgraded knowledge, nor did it appear as a prompt similar to generating a bond.
Lucien couldn’t help but pull up Carrie’s character panel.
[Teaching Progress] Blazing Fire Art – Change (90.00%) ｛Theoretical Teaching: 100%; Practical Combat Teaching: 0% }}
‘I see, it seems that there is still some difference between the teaching of some sorceries and the teaching of meditation, in addition to mastering sorceries, a certain amount of accumulation of actual combat may be required.’ Lucien’s heart was enlightened, and he immediately revealed a smile.
Actual combat? That could not be considered a problem.
‘Mentor Lucien?’ Carrie looked at Lucien at this moment, some expectation in her expression.
‘Not bad.’ Lucian looked at Carrie and gently rubbed the latter’s small head.
[Your student Carly has admiration for you, reverence value +1]
‘But that’s not enough.’ Lucien looked at Carrie, whose eyes were not working now, but lightly said another sentence.
Carly’s little head sagged a bit.
‘Because the test of whether you have truly mastered a sorcery, besides being able to cast it theoretically, you also need to be tested in actual combat.’ Lucien smiled and looked at Carly. ‘Prepare yourself, take a good nap at noon to recover your spirit, and in the afternoon we’ll go and take on a quest so that you can test your results in actual combat.’
Carly raised her head, but when she looked at Lucien, her words were slightly tinged with a hint of pettiness. ‘Mentor Lucien, you were deliberately teasing me just now, right?’
‘I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense.’ Lucian wryly argued, but the smile at the corner of his mouth was obvious.
The quest and trading areas of the Greybone Academy had always been the places with the highest foot traffic.
‘Just this one.’ Lucien looked at the quests in the quest bar one by one, finally choosing one for Carly that suited her better.

[Clearing Blood Ravens]: Hunting 50 adult Blood Ravens (need to pay the beak of a Blood Raven as a quest voucher)
[Publisher]: Greybone Academy
[Quest Description]: Recently, the Blood Raven colony in the northern part of the Grey Bone Forest has overpopulated a bit, and some of them need to be purged to maintain the ecological balance.
Reward]: 2 Magic Stones
Although the reward for the quest is not high, and the need to hunt 50 Blood Crows, which are famous for their flexibility, is time-consuming and hard work, there is no doubt that the Blood Crows can be considered one of the best ‘practical teachers’ for Carly at this stage.
Blood crows are a kind of low-ranked magical creatures inhabiting the Greybone Forest, a race formed after the crossbreeding of one-eyed crows and commoners. Because it lacks the intelligence to communicate effectively with wizards, it cannot be used as a wizard’s pet companion, but it is also used by the academy as a wild supernatural creature (referred to as a magical creature) that guards the outskirts of the Forest of Bones and has become the ‘dominant’ within the Forest of Bones.
These swarming magical creatures have a small target, fast flight speed, and sharp claws and beaks. Moreover, as magical creatures, they are born with a kind of sonic spell that allows them to emit a disgusting cry.
This kind of cry can cause considerable interference with the apprentice’s construction of sorcery models. But looking at it from another perspective, if one could still perfectly cast sorcery despite the interference of the blood crows, then there would be no problem with this sorcery in actual combat.
When Lucien turned around after taking the quest number plate, he saw Carly who was already excited.
‘Mentor, are we leaving now?’ There was a trace of pressed excitement on Carly’s face, which was a contrast to the surrounding apprentices who took the quest for the sake of points.
Lucien looked at Carly, his gaze sweeping under her grey robe that represented the identity of the New Blood.
‘Come on, let’s go get you some gear first.’Lucien shook his head. With the limited clothes that Carly was wearing now, he was afraid that once she left the academy, she wouldn’t have much protection at all. Even weak magical creatures like blood crows and rock fire lizards were known to possess the ability to threaten Carly’s life.
Lucien didn’t want to go on a trip and then have to look for students again when he returned.
Suddenly, Lucien’s expression changed all of a sudden.
It suddenly occurred to him that he didn’t seem to have any spare-bound student slots. In other words, if something happened to Carly, then the probability was that his system would have to follow him to the ground.
‘Hiss ……’ Lucien took a deep breath, he looked at Carly, and suddenly felt that this little one in front of him, all of a sudden became a porcelain doll, fragile!
Moreover, this porcelain doll, at this moment, seems to be stupidly trying to die!
Well, or his suggestion and encouragement.
Lucien’s expression changed and changed, and finally, a somewhat classic image emerged in his mind.
Sinning ah-
‘Mentor Lucien?’ Carrie’s soft call brought Lucien’s consciousness back to reality.
He looked down at the porcelain doll …… ah no, it was Carly and immediately revealed a smile. ‘Carly, I’m going to tell you the first lesson of practical combat in the wilderness by the way!’
Lucien’s sudden serious expression made Carly subconsciously hold her breath and tactically lean back.
‘That is, no matter when you fight, you must be well prepared.’ Lucien patted Carrie’s shoulder, ‘Live to have output.’
Carly blinked.
An hour later.
‘Not bad.’ Lucien looked at Carly, who had become much more ‘stable’ at this time, and felt a slight sense of security in his heart, and couldn’t help but nod his head in satisfaction.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Carly’s small body couldn’t support a set of heavy armor, otherwise Lucien would have wanted to arrange another set for Carrie outside. In his opinion, if little Carrie went out, the best equipment was the Paladin’s set of ‘tin cans’.
However, since he couldn’t arrange for heavy armor for the time being, Lucian put a lot of effort into the equipment that Carrie was wearing.
This set of Alchemy Light Armour cost him eight magic stones! In terms of defense, it was enough to resist one or two sorcery attacks unleashed by a Level 2 Sorcerer Apprentice!
‘Mentor ……,’ Carly looked down, looked at this light armor on her body, and was a bit speechless. She felt that the first actual battle she was about to start seemed somewhat not quite the same as what she had imagined before.
‘Depart.’ Lucien patted Carly’s shoulder, then handed her a sturdy metal shield in passing.
Carly looked down at the heavy shield in her hand, cocked her head, and pondered for a moment, feeling that there was nothing wrong with what Mentor Lucien said, but for some reason, she just felt a little strange.
This feeling was especially obvious when she saw the lighter attire of the other sorcerer apprentices.
