Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Chapter 413: Nearly stabbed by a knife 107_1

“Have you thought it through?”

Wizard Cody inquired, sounding a bit more serious.

If it’s just compensation for the benefits, it’s all a numbers game no matter how it’s discussed.

Acknowledging an error, especially one in academia, is a different matter altogether.

“I have thought it through.”

Link gave a firm response.

He was a magnanimous person.

He had long since let go of the article “On” that Sophie Lucia had written, explaining how she had completed the experiment and published her findings based on her own wisdom first.

After all, he had his revenge.

However, they have not turned the page yet on the “paper” and patent related to Jasmine’s new germination method of the Silver Star Flower.

To this day, Sophie Lucia is still collecting dividends from that patent.

It’s like a thorn in your food–it doesn’t hurt too much, but it’s really annoying.

You don’t feel comfortable until you remove the thorn.

Since the opportunity arose, Link certainly wouldn’t show mercy, he was determined to get even.

By doing this, he was telling the Lucia family that despite the fact that Link Grande is still weak, they can’t bully him around or make peace with him as they wish, he isn’t a “soft bone”.

Link Grande has his own temperament.

Although forced by various situations, a resolution had to be reached.

Even so, Link had to make his stand clear.

He had to tell the Lucias that Link Grande wasn’t easy to manipulate, there were thorns hidden beneath the surface.

Wizard Cody could feel the determination in Link’s words and admired his tenacity.

“Excellent!”

He gave a hearty slap of his palm and praised, “This is how it should be! Don’t worry, we’ll make sure this condition is met!”

Serene, the wizard echoed, “Indeed, reconciliation shouldn’t just be about benefits, it should also display our stance and principles. This point is well made.”

“Thank you, Serene Wizard, thank you, Wizard Cody.”

Link expressed his gratitude sincerely.

He knew that many things weren’t just as they appeared.

At face value, the leading figures in the consortium of Sage Palo, Serene Wizard, and Wizard Cody hadn’t protected Link well.

They either conscripted him or proposed he lead the team, persuading Link to flee and dodge the heat in a multitude of ways.

But behind the scenes, they’ve done quite a lot.

For instance, why the higher-ups at the academy noticed the issue and resorted to such severe measures against the Lucia family resulted from their relentless efforts.

In showing respect, Link took a customary approach, addressing Serene Wizard first and Wizard Cody secondly, just as he used to do.

Despite the fact Wizard Cody was about to make another attempt at the Metamorphosis Period, hoping to upgrade to the rank of Sage, nothing had changed.

It did not anger Wizard Cody.

On the contrary, he rather appreciated Link’s consistency.

Without absolute loyalty, there is absolute disloyalty.

Although the term “loyalty” wasn’t applicable to the relationship between Link, Serene, and Sage Palo.

But he shouldn’t “get quickly tired of old friends and look for new”, or “prefer rich friends over poor”, becoming a GPS fancier.

Hisssss…

At this moment, Link’s personal intelligent terminal started vibrating.

He had set this up before heading here, so he could be notified immediately of the academy’s messages.

Pulling out his intelligent terminal, he opened it and found that it was indeed the academy’s team leader benefits notification along with a detailed list.

“It’s the benefits that the academy offers to the team leader.”

After informing Serene Wizard, Wizard Cody and Jasmine about this, Link opened the benefit list, projected it out, and reviewed it together.

“Wow! Not bad at all.”

After a quick glance, the Wizard Serene completed reading the list and exclaimed, “The academy is being generous this time.”

“These benefits are genuinely good and more than adequate to offset the loss of a month and a half for a First Level Wizard.”

Wizard Cody had the same attitude after reading through the list.

Jasmine looked enviously at the projected list for a long time, unable to shift her gaze away from it.

The list contained only three items:

First was a North District Villa; second was one-time use of the Official wizard-level Secret Realm for cultivation, and finally a newly-minted Hummingbird-class Interstellar Warship.

The immediate commitment would be the North District Villa.

The cultivation secret realm could be used at will.

They would have to wait for the delivery of the interstellar warship.

Link, given his current level, status, and income, could barely afford the North District Villa.

The secret realm for cultivation wouldn’t be necessary for Link, who had already perfected the “Universe Meditation Method” scroll for apprentices and wizards.

Even if it could accelerate his cultivation progress, Link didn’t want to enter it.

He had enhanced too much too fast recently, and it was time for some settling down to consolidate his foundations.

For a newly promoted First-Level Wizard like Jasmine, entering the cultivation secret realm once would yield significant benefits.

The most valuable thing was undoubtedly the starship.

Even the smallest “Hummingbird” class was still a starship.

Although small, the “Hummingbird” was fast and flexible, ideal for First and Second Level Wizards accompanying the army on expeditions.

If Link wanted to buy it himself, he’d have to run the Grande Potion Shop for at least one year to save enough Magic Stones.

Even then, he would probably only be able to buy the basic model.

The academy offered the latest model with the highest specifications.

Forget about one and a half months of compensation, even if it were one and a half years, many First and Second Level Wizards would be crying out for an opportunity from the academy.

Link’s several trips to the different world had all been within the world itself.

In fact, marching to Heavens involved more time traveling or fighting in space.
