South Feldman City, Wizard Tower.
Grimm met the five apprentices assigned to him in his residence.
Two Prospective Wizards and three Advanced Apprentices were very young.
Basically, anyone who could become a Prospective Wizard or Advanced Apprentice before the age of 50 had the potential to become a Wizard. Wizard families were willing to spend a lot of money to nurture them! As for those apprentices who could barely raise their mental force to Advanced Wizard, they knew they had no hope of becoming a Wizard. They had long since given up on this path and went to the mortal world to enjoy the offerings of the local nobles.
Among the Quasi Sorcerers and Senior Apprentices assigned to Grimm, there was one woman each. She was quite pretty. However, with Grimm's Elemental Sight, he could easily see the faint fluorescence left behind by the transformation spell on their faces.
It was obvious that the five apprentices had heard of Grimm's terrifying reputation as a Fire Demon. They all stood obediently in front of him, not even daring to breathe loudly. However, one could tell from the glint in their eyes that they were very satisfied with being able to become Fire Demon's apprentices. They could not hide their excitement.
For some unknown reason, even Alice, who had always done things her own way, came to this meet-and-greet.
She stood beside Grimm with her hands on her hips, looking at the two female apprentices with malicious intent. Her eyes rolled around as if she was plotting something.
"This is the first time we've met. Tell me your names and research direction!" Grimm said slowly.
After hearing their mentor's request, the five apprentices looked at each other. It was the skinnier Prospective Wizard who stood up first.
"Kodar. Innate affinity: Dark element. I became a Prospective Wizard last year. My main research is mutation, and I've dabbled in beastification … "
"Meryl. Innate affinity: Earth element. I became a Prospective Wizard this year. I'm planning to become an Elemental Wizard. I don't have any part-time jobs … "
"Am. Innate affinity: Fire element. Advanced Apprentice. I'm handling magic materials …"
"Tolle. Innate affinity: Illusion element. Advanced Apprentice. I'm a Potion Master …"
"Lina. Innate affinity: Water element. Advanced Apprentice. I don't have any part-time jobs …"
Grimm listened without batting an eyelid, a blue light flashing in the depths of his eyes.
With his Elemental Sight, he had already captured every single detail of the acolytes' physiques and spiritual force. Asking them to introduce themselves was purely for the convenience of building a file for them and completing their personal information.
With the help of the A.I. Chip's terrifying information gathering ability, Grimm received further prompts from the A.I. Chip as soon as the five acolytes introduced themselves. Of the five apprentices, XXX had the potential to continue improving, XXX's potential had been exhausted, and he could only reach this stage by relying on the help of potions, XXX had the outstanding aptitude to develop in a certain direction …
Although he had already divided them in his heart, Grim's young and handsome face didn't reveal any of it.
"Since you're all under my name, from today onwards, you're all apprentices under me, Grim. As long as anyone performs well, I will take them in as a true disciple. " At this point, Grim looked around and saw the excitement in many of their eyes, "Also, this is Alice. She's my personal maid and also your senior apprentice. If you have any problems in the future, you can ask her for help! "
Hearing Grim's words, Alice immediately puffed out her chest and folded her belly, looking like she was the big sister.
The acolytes looked at each other and bowed to Alice at the same time. The two young would-be Magi seemed a little reluctant.
In the Magus Continent, there was a world of difference between an acolyte and a disciple.
The status of an acolyte only showed that you had studied under a Master. When necessary, you could rely on your status as an acolyte to obtain the Master's protection. However, the status of a disciple was completely different. It was more like a magic contract, and both parties would have a more intimate and clear relationship of knowledge inheritance.
Sometimes, if a Magus were to die in an accident, his disciple would have the right to inherit all of his assets.
Therefore, most Magi did not want to cause more trouble for themselves. As such, they often had a large number of apprentices, but there were very few true disciples, or even none at all.
"According to the tradition of the Salubo Family, you have become my acolytes and have the right to obtain free knowledge from me. Every seven days, you will have a chance to ask a question for free. High-ranked acolytes can ask one question, while would-be Magi can ask two. In addition, I've also dabbled in elemental puppetry, biology, anatomy, neurology, and the basics of potions … If any of you are willing to be my collaborator, I can share the results of my research with you, and you can also use my lab for free! "Grim said expressionlessly.
Hearing his words, the acolytes could not help but look hesitant.
Although they were the most precious treasures of the Salubo Family, not everyone dared to cooperate with the Magi in experiments.
Most Magi's experiments involved forbidden subjects, and the risks involved were self-evident.
Although the participating acolytes could share the results of Magi's experiments, the damage to their bodies and minds was unknown. Under normal circumstances, acolytes who were confident in their future would not choose this path. Only those who had exhausted their potential or were short of money would choose to take a gamble to gain their mentor's attention and favor.
The would-be Magus called Kodar could not help but bow and ask, "Respected mentor, may I know what the experiment you mentioned involves?"
"It's related to illusions!"
The acolytes could not help but look at the high-ranked acolyte, Torrey. He was the only one who had an affinity with illusions, so he was obviously more suitable to be the so-called 'collaborator'.
Feeling everyone's scorching but invisible pressure, Tollie braced himself and took a step forward. He bowed and said, "Sir Mentor, I'm willing to participate in your illusion experiment!"
"Oh …" A gentle smile appeared on Grim's face, "Are you willing to be my collaborator?"
"Yes!" Torrey squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, "It's my honor to be able to participate in your experiment!"
"Very well, then let's sign a magic contract!"
Grim nodded in satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, a magic contract scroll made of pure flames appeared out of thin air and slowly floated in front of Torrey.
Torrey rubbed his eyes and carefully read all the terms in the scroll. He found that the content was exactly the same as what Mentor Grim had said, so he carefully left his own magic imprint on it.
With a soft crackling sound, the magic contract scroll turned into a ball of flames and disappeared into the air.
"If there's nothing else, you can all leave. Torrey, get ready. Come here at 7 tonight! " Grim was obviously in a good mood after getting an experimental subject as expected. The smile on his face was a little wider than usual.
The acolytes bowed at the same time and slowly left.
Alice rolled her eyes and secretly followed them out.
It wasn't until an hour later that Alice came back arrogantly, looking like a little fox who had stolen a hen's food.
"How was it?" Grim put down the book in his hand and asked lazily, "How many did you defeat?"
"Five! I beat all five of them to the ground. " Alice said proudly and disdainfully, "With their strength, they can't even stand a chance against me!"
Grim frowned. "You didn't hurt Tolle, did you?"
"Of course not!" Alice had been in a good mood ever since she got the Void Stone from Grim. "I know he has a mission tonight, so I just trapped him in the Dimensional Cage. Since he couldn't move, he admitted defeat! "
"What about them?" Grim asked curiously.
"I've beaten them into a pig's head. I'm going back to apply medicine!" Alice clenched her small fists, looking like a violent queen.
Grimm tilted his head and thought for a moment. He could totally imagine the helplessness everyone felt when facing the indestructible Space Barrier. To be honest, if it wasn't for the suppression of the powerful Magic Puppet, it would have been a dream for Grim to suppress Alice with just his innate fire element!
With her heaven-defying spatial talent, Alice possessed attack power, defense power, and mobility that ordinary people couldn't even imagine. With these three points, a normal Quasi Sorcerer would not be able to move Alice even if he wanted to, nor would he be able to run away.
Anyone who fought Alice would end up in a state where they wanted to cry, but the heavens wouldn't be able to help them!
… …
At night, Torre, a high-ranking apprentice, arrived at Grim's residence.
The experiment that Grim had given him was very simple.
It was a knowledge crystal used to store mental strength, and there were ten extremely special Witchcraft Runes hidden inside. What Tolle needed to do was to write them down one by one, and record the changes in his body and mental strength before and after each rune was written down.
For this, Grim had specially set up a secret room for Tolle to complete this seemingly simple task. Of course, Grim had secretly placed many surveillance crystals in every corner of the secret room, so he could clearly transmit Tolle's every move to Grim, who was in the adjacent secret room.
To encourage this Senior Apprentice who had been chosen as a guinea pig, Grim promised to give him three books related to Potioneering for free.
