Chapter 25 Taking the Deadwood Potion, Growing Up
Sally said, "3 or 4 points. The rating for beginner potion making is usually 1 to 2 points. Although Leo performed better, he will only get an extra one or two points."
Chris then asked, "Witch Sally, if I successfully concoct a basic recovery potion, how many points will I get?"
Sally said, "One point."
"What if it fails to be refined?"
"0 points."
Upon hearing this, Chris stroked his chin and said, "It seems that it is indeed difficult to obtain a high overall assessment score in academic subjects."
Leo also frowned.
It seems that while the so-called comprehensive assessment is very generous in awarding scholarships for mental energy, mental talent, and magical hand, it is extremely stingy with scholarships for various subjects.
Leo gathered materials and refined a difficult-to-make withered wood potion, but he could only get a comprehensive evaluation score of 3 to 4 points.
Even if Chris can't refine it, he'll only be two or three parts short.
Leo suddenly felt a little confused.
Given the benefits of this scholarship, how did the other wizarding apprentices manage to pay so much tuition in the future?
Sally seemed to see through Leo's thoughts and said, "Scholarships are ultimately for young wizards who don't yet have the ability to earn magic stones. Since you've participated in the subject, you already have the ability to earn magic stones, so naturally, you'll receive far fewer scholarships in that regard."
"Take potion-making as an example. After you've crafted the potions, you can consign them to shops to earn magic stones. So, although you invest a lot initially, you can recoup your costs later by selling potions."
Sally reminded Leo of a crucial point.
That is, Leo, who can refine potions, can obtain magic stones by selling potions.
The same is probably true for other disciplines.
Sally once said that every subject is a gold mine.
However, Leo simply didn't think about it that way.
After Sally explained it to Leo, he roughly understood the process for students and graduate students.
Scholarships are easier to obtain in the first year.
Within a year, many of them should have become wizards.
The main way these people obtained magic stones from then on was not through scholarships, but by using their knowledge of the subjects to complete work that was paid for with magic stones.
Leo said, "Thank you for reminding me, Sally the Wizard."
"Chris, I think you should be more nervous than Danville," Sally said. "You'll need to work even harder to get a scholarship that covers your tuition in two months."
Chris slumped his head and said, "Witch Sally, I'll try harder."
Sally raised her smooth neck, parted her red lips slightly, and said:
"Danville, now that the potion has been successfully prepared, you can allocate the remaining lessons according to your own needs. You can come or not. To be honest, your three basic operations have already reached an excellent level for a budding wizard."
"For a deeper study of potions, I think it would be better for you to explore it in the research labs of other potions wizards."
"Yes, Lady Sally," Leo nodded.
Sally's words were exactly what he wanted to hear.
Leo had originally planned to take some time off to prepare for the Knights' mission to hunt sea monsters.
Sally smiled and said, "Danville, to be honest, when Wizard Tesla told you to get the Rising Star title, I didn't believe it, but now I think you might actually be able to do it."
Leo understood Sally's choice of words.
Even with Leo's amazing talent, Sally still lacked confidence in her ability to win the Rising Star title.
This suggests that obtaining this rising star title was likely much more difficult than he had anticipated.
However, Leo didn't take it to heart.
He himself didn't have a strong desire to receive the Rising Star title.
Back in his room, Leo placed two bottles of withered wood potion on the table.
The bottle that's almost brown is of inferior quality; it will be much less effective and has a higher risk of side effects.
Leo is planning to sell this bottle.
The remaining high-quality deadwood potion, although it has some side effects, are now very minor.
While it's true that more than one bottle of the withered wood potion is needed to cultivate super physical enhancement spells, there's no need to force yourself to take inferior potions with even greater side effects.
Leo picked up the high-quality deadwood potion and drank it all in one gulp.
Instantly, the medicine transformed into a radiating force that strengthened the spiritual energy throughout the body.
Leo felt heat emanating from his body in an instant.
The source of heat is the heart.
This heat continuously strengthens Leo's physical body.
With the strengthening of his physical body, Leo can also achieve greater enhancement when casting basic physical enhancement spells.
The next day, Leo did not go to the teaching room, but instead stayed in his room to prepare for his training.
The meditation method is not far from achieving a higher quality encyclopedia.
The deadwood medicine is still fermenting in the body.
These are all improvements that are visible to the naked eye.
Unfortunately, on the day of departure, Leo's mental energy did not reach 10 points, but remained at around 9 points.
Leo packed his things and headed to the location of the woodpecker's hut.
A knight was waiting there.
The knight was short; standing in front of Leo, he looked like a dwarf.
Of course, he is actually not short; he should be around 1.7 meters tall.
However, compared to a Protoss like Leo, he is far inferior.
"Lord Danville, I have been waiting for you for a long time," the knight said, bowing.
Leo urged, "Let's go."
"Please come this way, I will take you to where our ship is located. There are several wizards traveling with you this time."
Upon hearing this, Leo asked, "If another wizard kills the sea monster, will I still be able to get the remaining magic stones?"
Leo had considered this before he came: Eiffel and the others might have hired other wizards.
The knight seemed to have expected this, and quickly replied after Leo finished asking, "Apart from the other wizard, the other wizards who accompanied us did not take on our mission to eliminate the sea monster; they were merely borrowing our ship to set sail."
"As long as you and that wizard can help kill the sea monster during this hunt, we will give you 50 magic stones according to the original reward price."
Leo nodded, and then, led by the knight, headed towards where Eiffel and the others were.
This place is also familiar; it's the dock where Leo and his fellow wizard buddings first arrived at the Tower of Dawn.
At the dock, one can still see rows of wizard ships.
The knight led Leo to a luxurious warship.
This warship is even larger than the wizard ship.
Many knights dressed in full silver-white armor stood on it.
Even among a group of knights, Eiffel still stood out from the crowd.
However, Leo's gaze was drawn to another figure who was not particularly tall.
