Chapter 145 The Improvement of the Flying Pumpkin
As for his personal wishes, Leo himself did not want to join.
While joining the Yalong Club has many advantages, it also brings its share of troubles.
Even Assistant Instructor Sally, a first-class wizard apprentice, deeply resented the Yalong Club.
This shows that the Yalong Club is not a likable force.
The next day, Leo came to Pera's research lab.
Fia and the wizard Mord greeted Leo warmly and asked him if his trip had gone smoothly.
Leo smiled and said, "This trip went fairly smoothly, and I got the materials I needed."
Upon hearing this, Fia said enviously, "That's good. I also have some materials that I urgently need, but because of the Yalong Club's monopoly, I haven't been able to gather them all yet. I estimate that I won't be able to gather them all before this grand gathering."
Leo asked, "Witch Fia, are you also attending this grand gathering?"
"Of course," Fia said. "I was one of the wizards who entered the Tower of Dawn last year, so by right, I should also participate."
Leo knew that Fia had a wide network of connections and was well-informed, so he asked, "Witch Fia, if it's convenient, could you tell me about the other wizards who participated in the Esmond Gathering this time, and the best among the wizards of your generation?"
Fia looked Leo up and down, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Fia asked, "Wizard Leo, do you perhaps want to compete for the title of genius wizard this time?"
Leo said, "I have that plan."
Fia said, "If other wizards said that, I would just think they were ignorant and arrogant, but if it were you, Wizard Leo, you might actually have a slight chance of getting the title of genius wizard."
"However, it's only a tiny bit. Although you, Leo, are a second-class wizard apprentice, you've only been a wizard for a short time. I'm afraid you're not a match for the most outstanding wizard of our generation."
"Among the wizards of my year, I was considered quite good, and even earned the title of Rising Star, but when it came to combat, I was utterly terrible."
"Among the wizards of our generation, there were three wizards who were skilled in combat."
"Rayle at the Nova Gathering, Geno at the Uriel Gathering, and Violet at the Tannil Gathering."
Fia said knowingly, "All three of them were invited by the Yalong Club. They are all third-level wizard apprentices now. Although they have only been with the Tower of Dawn for a little over a year, each of them has considerable combat power."
Even a second-tier wizard apprentice would find it difficult to defeat the three of them head-on if their spells were incompatible.
"But they're not the absolute best yet."
At this point, Fia's expression turned serious, and she said, "The strongest in my class were the other two wizards."
One is Sephiroth, a level 6 mental power genius who hasn't joined any gatherings. His current mental energy exceeds 500, which isn't bad among second-tier wizard apprentices. The other is Banville, whose mental power talent is only level 3, but who is already a second-tier wizard apprentice with a mental energy exceeding 800.
This Banville reminded Leo of Sono, whom he had encountered before. He asked, "Witch Fia, what's going on with this Banville? His mental strength talent level isn't high enough, so how come his mental energy is increasing so quickly?"
Fia said, "Because he has a good mother."
"Banville's mother was a certified wizard. She always prepared perfect potions for him, which made his spiritual energy far surpass that of his peers. Becoming a first-class wizard apprentice is a sure thing for him."
Leo hadn't expected this situation.
Leo had initially thought that Banville's situation might be similar to Sono's, but now it seems that they are completely different.
Sono couldn't find a single qualified wizard to brew him a perfectly high-quality potion.
As for Banville, this was the first time Leo had ever heard of a descendant of a wizard.
Becoming a wizard will reduce one's ability to reproduce.
Therefore, shamans place great importance on their offspring.
Fia said, "Although the competition is fierce, as for Wizard Leo, apart from Sephiroth and Banville, you should belong to the second tier that is close to the title of genius wizard."
Leo said, "After hearing what you said about these two, I now also feel that my chances of getting the title of genius wizard are slim. After all, competing with a level 6 mental talent genius and the child of a formal wizard, I don't stand much of a chance."
Fia said, "Wizard Leo, you don't need to belittle yourself. You are a Pros, and you are naturally skilled in combat. This grand gathering is not about the strength of spiritual energy, but about the strength of combat ability."
"As a second-class wizard apprentice, you were already among the top in our class."
Fia said, "Speaking of which, there's something else. I heard that the genius with level 6 mental strength talent at the Uriel gathering recently died."
Leo recalled the wizard sapling he encountered during the second check; he was not only a member of the Uriel Gathering, but also one of the 6...
Level 1 mental strength talent.
Could it be that Fia was referring to this person?
This guess isn't a forced connection.
After all, every genius with a level 6 mental power talent will attract intense attention from ordinary wizards.
Leo asked, "Witch Fia, was the genius with level 6 mental power who died named Kyle?"
"That's right."
Upon hearing this, Leo's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "Witch Fia, do you know how he died?"
Fia said, "It seems that he died in a sudden accident while traveling to the central area."
"It's a pity about this person. He was confirmed to have level 6 mental talent during the second assessment. The original purpose of going to the central region was to better nurture him, but unexpectedly, he encountered this kind of accident instead."
Leo frowned.
He always felt something was off about this.
This isn't the first time a certified wizard has brought a wizard with a level 6 mental talent to the central area. Is it really such a coincidence that they would die in such an accident?
After chatting, Leo devoted himself to cultivating the flying pumpkin.
Leo had a somewhat systematic understanding of the improvements made to the flying pumpkins in Pera's lab.
This improved variety of flying pumpkin can fire beams of light with a freezing effect towards the ground while flying.
However, the power of this beam is limited, and it is used very infrequently.
In Leo's opinion, although it did add some attack power to the Flying Pumpkin, its practical use in combat was very limited.
This is probably why the Flying Pumpkin research project aimed at improving quality didn't receive a very high rating.
In this volcanic battlefield, Leo's flying pumpkin performed well, but it was still a bit inferior to the bird wing spell developed by the wizard Nova.
The Bird Wing spell not only grants the ability to fly, but also allows for group flight, and it also has the effect of disrupting the rhythm of others.
