This wizard only wishes to be a teacher

Thinking of this, Lucien couldn’t help but reveal a sly smile on his face.

Soon, Lucien arrived at the training ground, where he saw Carly stopping what she was doing at the time, which involved "various outputs" towards Edison.

"Wizard Mentor Lucien," Carly stopped her actions, first glancing at the "miserable" Edison, then back at Lucien, appearing somewhat guilty.

"Well... Wizard Mentor Lucien, I have discussed this with Edison already," Carly hurriedly explained, indicating that she had communicated with Edison before daring to act so boldly.

Edison, standing by, was also continuously nodding his head.

After all, on Carly’s side, not only was the salary doubled and directly satisfying, but it also hardly required moving...

For Edison, he really loved this job.

Lucien looked at Carly, then at Edison.

"Not bad, being constantly injured and then healed repeatedly brings benefits for excavating the special powers within your body," Lucien first waved at Carly, then walked toward Edison, patting his shoulder.

"Continue this for the next few days. I will add to your existing meals!"

Edison’s eyes lit up. Such a good deal?

A job, reasonably earning double the salary, he felt he could not agree more.

"But there’s another thing," Lucien waved at Carly, signaling her to come over as well.

"Edison, I remember you once said you were willing to learn witchcraft from me and that you weren’t afraid of hardships, as long as you could get enough to eat, right?" Lucien sought Edison’s opinion before revealing his plan.

Edison nodded vigorously, his time following Lucien was the most comfortable he had ever been.

His constitution was exceptionally special, perhaps what was a severe injury for others was trivial for him, even his sense of pain was very mild, akin to how normal people felt when bitten by a mosquito if you scratched a big cut on his skin.

Like the "injuries" that Carly had just inflicted on him?

For Edison, she was more like a scraping massage therapist, not particularly skilled.

So, when it came to suffering, he simply didn’t care, even feeling indifferent about it.

Conversely, he was particularly sensitive to hunger. Even to the extent that in desperate hunger, he could feel his stomach slowly "eating" and "digesting" his muscles.

Even this sensation could drive him to madness.

Although he had not been able to recover his original memories, in his subconscious, Edison could recall the state he was in after getting extremely hungry, clutching roots or clumps of dirt to chew on to alleviate the hunger.

It was a terrifying feeling that seemed to completely overwhelm his rationality.

Thinking of this, Edison nodded vigorously, then briskly slapped his not-quite-muscular body, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

Bring it on!

Lucien, observing Edison at this moment, couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

Good, very good, very spirited!

He then pulled out a manuscript for Body Refinement Wizard from his Space Ring and handed it to Edison. "I think you are particularly suited to train in the Body Refinement Wizard path. This is the training method."

"Although normally it takes 2 to 3 years of foundational training for a normal person, I think that for you, one month will be enough."

Carly, also a bit curious, moved her head closer to take a look at the Body Refinement Wizard scroll to see what the introductory method specifically involved.

Before she could make out the specific details of the scroll, Lucien lightly tapped her on the head with his finger. "You should first focus on excavating your own Bloodline Power, biting off more than you can chew isn’t good."

"I was just curious..." Carly murmured quietly, then again tiptoed to try and see the training methods described on the scroll.

Then, Carly unexpectedly opened her mouth slightly, then looked at Lucien with some disbelief.

"Wizard Mentor Lucien, you..."

"I call this method Interactive Training," Lucien shrugged his shoulders.

"A Body Refinement Wizard needs to first allow the body to undergo a ’damage-recovery’ process during training. Within this phase, the body also repairs itself using the Body Refinement school’s method and leaves some ’marks’ which are beneficial for later use of spiritual power for deeper physical enhancement."

"Other Wizard Apprentices, due to not having strong enough bodies, dare not damage themselves too severely and are unable to completely heal the body’s wounds using the initial straightforward methods."

"However, Edison didn’t have this kind of trouble," Lucien stroked his chin, before looking at Carly and patting her on the shoulder. "His problem lies in his overly strong recuperative abilities. Using scrolls, whether chopping with a knife or burning with flames, it only affects him superficially and doesn’t achieve the best refining effect..."

"But this period is just right for you as well since you also need to excavate your own Bloodline. You’ll need to frequently use Bloodline Magic extensively, which is just right to pair with Edison. You attack, he recovers; even after Edison gradually gets the hang of it, we can customize some potions that might slow down his bodily recovery speed..."

Carly’s mouth slightly opened in surprise.

"Oh yes, this process is also a form of training for you," said Lucien seriously to little Carly.

"If you want to control your Bloodline Power faster, you need to grasp your Bloodline Power more delicately, like when you use ’Moonfall’ to attack Edison with a moon blade. During the attack, you need to master your attack point precisely, and the damage caused by the moon blade also needs to fall within the scope you can measure..."

"Just like this," Lucien said as he waved his hand, conjuring a Zero-level Witchcraft "Moonfall·Modified".

Immediately, a moon blade flickering with cold light flew out, tracing an arc in midair and slicing toward a falling leaf.

Whoosh—

As the moon blade passed through, it didn’t shatter the palm-sized leaf, but merely inserted a narrow slit into it.

"The moon blade attack I just released controlled the power at approximately 50P," Lucien used his spiritual power to dissipate the flying moon blade. Then he looked at Carly and signaled her to give it a try.

Carly picked up the leaf that Lucien had just pierced, examined the narrow gap carefully, then also summoned a moon blade and started practicing. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Right, once Edison gets the hang of it, the two of you can engage in direct combat. You have several recovery-type Bloodline Magic anyway; feeling what it’s like to be injured isn’t necessarily bad. At the very least, it can help you maintain your composure in dangerous situations," Lucien thought for a moment and added, "This is called sweating more in peacetime, so you bleed less in wartime."

Carly thought carefully and then nodded lightly.

"Mentor Lucien, I understand," Carly nodded earnestly.

Lucien pondered silently and eventually subtly explained to Carly about the Hell Blood Serpent’s situation using spiritual power.

"Don’t worry, Mentor Lucien, I will definitely complete this task successfully!" Carly felt a heavy weight on her shoulders at that moment, but she didn’t feel burdened or pressured; instead, she felt excited and anticipated.

She felt that the tasks ahead of her held profound significance, a sensation that almost intoxicated her.

Meanwhile, Edison examined the scroll’s many words. Although there were many that he didn’t recognize, with Lucien’s explanation, Edison gradually grasped the training content.

He might not have understood much else, but one thing he heard clearly: Could he ensure his energy supply by consuming a lot of food during training?

Food? Cool!

Edison’s eyes shone, and Lucien seemed even more towering in his heart.

Then, he looked at Carly with a different kind of flame in his eyes.

Seeing the effect, Lucien couldn’t help but nod slightly, signaling that the special training which Carly and Edison had just interrupted could continue.

In the afternoon, Lucien began experimenting with the Greybone Meditation Method at the Formal Wizard level in his laboratory.

And on the training ground, Carly and Edison were exceptionally active.

However, Gagarin was sweating profusely on the side.

Hearing the occasional collisions between body and witchcraft, or even the faint explosions, he would occasionally look out the window, heart palpitating with each glance...

At that moment, Gagarin felt that a simpler Meditation Method was more suitable for him. Such a life, neither outshining the upper nor cursing the lower, was quite desirable; there was no need to push himself to pursue extremities.

However, Gagarin was also curious about what kind of progress Edison and Carly could achieve after undertaking this bizarre training.

Lucien, however, wasn’t drawn by the noise outside; at that moment, his consciousness was immersed in a vast dark space within his body.

The dark space was boundless, and within it was a tremendous star slowly rotating at the center, drawing in the energy waves from the dark space around with the motion of the surrounding 360 stars.

"Divide," Lucien’s consciousness merged into the central star, and he began to manipulate the surrounding stars, rearranging them into a special wizard formation.

Rumble—

Numerous stars began to deviate from their original orbits. This shift even affected the star where Lucien’s consciousness resided, causing it to emit a faint rumble.

As the stars gradually shifted, the energy tides emanating from the depths of the dark space also changed, and some violent energy waves directly struck the star housing Lucien’s consciousness, causing him to feel a slight sting.

"Is this the training at the Formal Wizard level? It’s not about the quantity of practice, but the quality accumulated, refining my spiritual power through the abrasion of this void..." Lucien realized and proceeded to accelerate the orbital change of the surrounding stars, following the methods in the Greybone Meditation Method.
