Wizard: My magic facility can be upgraded!

Chapter 2 Talent Test

Li Ang was slightly agitated for a moment, but quickly calmed down.

The cheat code can only help him upgrade facilities and prevent others from using the upgraded effects; however, it cannot expel others from the facilities or take the facilities away directly.

He wasn't even a beginner apprentice yet, so even if he bound the entire wizard ship, he still wouldn't be able to take it away, would he?

At that moment, a blonde girl hurriedly walked past Li Ang.

She is likely one of the prospective apprentices who were found to have wizarding aptitude and is heading to the deck to assemble.

The sudden, violent rocking of the ship caught her off guard, and she fell to the ground with a thud.

Seeing this, Li Ang quickly stopped maneuvering the sails, and the ship swiftly regained its stability.

"Are you alright?" Li Ang asked, reaching out his hand to the girl.

After all, the other person fell and got all dazed because of me, so I felt really bad if I didn't help them up.

"It's alright, this boat was just rocking too much," the girl said, pulling Leon's hand and standing up abruptly. "Thank you. My name is Helena. Let's hurry up and go, the wizard will punish us soon!"

Li Ang responded and quickly headed towards the deck where they were to assemble.

......

A gust of wind blew across the deck, and a chill seeped through his coat, causing Li Ang to shiver involuntarily.

Two hours have passed now.

A bustling crowd of about thirty people stood in a corner of the deck.

Just a month ago, Kavi and Matthew were Li Ang's servants, but now they stood arrogantly at the front of the line, issuing orders.

Everyone was woken up before dawn and waited on the deck for two hours, but the chief wizard still did not appear.

Combined with the eccentric temperament of the head wizard, feelings of unease and fear spread among the apprentices.

"Shut up! Keep formation!"

The burly Kavi roared, ending the commotion in the crowd.

Then, he looked at Matthew beside him, his expression equally puzzled, "Big brother, why hasn't the wizard shown up yet?"

Matthew slowly spat out a straw, looking displeased: "Don't call me 'big brother.' I'm now the class leader promoted by the wizard, and you're the deputy class leader."

"The wizard will be here soon. He told me to assemble at six o'clock, and it's almost six o'clock now."

The crowd erupted into chaos again.

"Damn it, they told us to gather on the deck at six o'clock, but what's the meaning of calling us one by one at four?!"

"Damn it, Matthew, don't push your luck!"

...

Seeing this, Matthew waved to Kavi.

The burly Kavi understood his meaning, stomped his foot, and charged at the apprentice who had shouted the loudest. With a "smack," he viciously slapped him, shocking everyone present.

Matthew stared at the crowd with a sinister look. "What if I hadn't called you in advance, and you'd all have arrived late and wasted the wizard's time?"

The crowd fell silent, daring not to speak out despite their anger.

Although none of the trainees on this ship were of orthodox wizarding lineage, they all had some degree of noble status.

He was filled with rage at being beaten and toyed with by a mere servant.

Li Ang stood among these people, suppressing his cough, trying not to stand out.

He was already in a sickly state and couldn't afford to provoke those two ungrateful wretches.

If he gets beaten up again, his second life might end there.

Just then, the chief wizard, dressed in a black robe, finally appeared in everyone's sight.

Matthew immediately put on a smile and went to the head wizard to flatter him, "Lord Celeste, everyone has assembled."

The wizard Celeste ignored him and instead gestured with his eyes to the wizard follower behind him who was holding a crystal.

The wizard's attendant strode up to the group and took out a crystal.

"Line up and extend your hands. Lord Celeste is going to test your talents. After the test, you will receive the 'Basic Meditation Laws' and the 'Level 0 Spellbook'."

"First, we will reach Riley City in half a month. If you are still unable to complete a full meditation and construct the first star in your spiritual world by then, return the way you came. As for what a star is, it will be explained to you in the laws of meditation."

"Second, remember what your talent is, and choose a spell from the 'Level 0 Spellbook' to practice."

"Whoever can successfully cast a level 0 spell before arriving in Riley City will be able to become a formal wizard apprentice."

"Don't blame me for not warning you, if your talent doesn't match, the difficulty of learning will increase exponentially."

Upon hearing this, the crowd, which had just been silenced by Kavi, began to stir again.

Li Ang pondered the wizard's attendant's words.

To become a wizard, one must complete at least one meditation session within two weeks, which means that a wizard's first meditation is probably not easy.

"Keep quiet, now line up and come touch the crystal ball to test your talent."

Upon hearing this, the prospective apprentices quickly took turns lining up and placing their palms on the crystal ball.

Because they were quite far away, and the wizard's attendant was speaking softly, it was impossible to hear what level the other people's talents were.

From a distance, Li Ang could only see that the wizard's follower took a long time to recite the talents of some people, while he finished reciting the talents of others almost instantly.

After a while, it was finally Li Ang's turn.

He clutched his chest, struggling to suppress his cough in front of the wizard's attendants, and placed his hand on the crystal ball.

A cool sensation came through.

hum!

The inside of the crystal ball slowly lit up, and a pure, bright energy beam with a faint cyan and blue hue emanated from the center of the ball, shooting straight up and traveling along Li Ang's arm to his brain.

"hiss--"

As the energy surged into his mind, Li Ang felt as if his mental energy was being frantically sucked away by something, and the stinging pain made him close his eyes.

The rapid and intense pain lasted only a very short time. When he opened his eyes again, his hand had somehow left the surface of the crystal ball.

"Level 4 in mental power talent, with affinity for wind and water elements. Hmm? You actually have affinity for two elements."

The wizard's follower recited Li Ang's talent to the crystal ball.

"Your aptitude is good. Although you have two affinities, I don't recommend learning two spells at the same time, otherwise you might not learn either after half a month. Go over there and get the books."

"Thank you for reminding me, sir."

Li Ang walked to the place where the books were placed, took a copy of "Basic Meditation Laws" and a copy of "Level 0 Spell Collection", and then went to his room.

According to what I heard a few days ago, there are 6 levels of mental talent, and the higher the level, the better.

A person with a level 6 mental talent far surpasses a person with a lower level of mental talent in both meditation and spell manipulation.

Level 4 mental strength talent is quite excellent; moreover, it has two elemental affinities, which is already quite good.
