Chapter 149: Xinghui Apprentice

Chapter 149

On the second floor of the Star Apprentice Treatment Center, a first-class wizard apprentice who is the most qualified and invisible second-floor manager is responsible for hosting the celebration for Angron.

“Please invite Senior Angron to give us a speech and share his experience in potions…”

“Everyone applaud…”

This man was undoubtedly quite cunning. He knew that if it was just a simple celebration, most first-class wizard apprentices would probably not be interested.

But if Angron were to share some of his experiences in potions, even if there was only a little bit of useful information, everyone would really perk up.

Sure enough, under his leadership, many first-class wizard apprentices who had originally looked indifferent actually started to applaud.

The tall and burly Angron walked into the crowd with a smile and began a speech, enjoying everyone’s admiring gazes. At the end of his speech, he also said that he would enter the Healing Hands Treatment Center this year.

Angron’s eyes swept over the crowd. “To cope with the increasingly intense Wizard Wars, I, at the suggestion of my wizard mentor, Harlan Vera, have decided to establish an Angron Studio here. I’ve already applied to the academy, and it will be approved soon.”

Angron smiled faintly and said, “Angron Studio will be responsible for the special treatment on the second floor, specifically targeting the particularly difficult evil curses cast on the White Wizards by the wizard seeds of the Blood Curse Court.”

“This will greatly reduce your workload.”

“Angron Studio will be staffed daily with a first-class wizard apprentice…my junior sister, and five second-class wizard apprentices. And when we encounter truly difficult problems, I will also come to the treatment center to help.”

Angron said, “Everyone, if you have any patients you can’t solve in the future, and I happen to be at the treatment center, you can come and ask me for help. It’s all free.”

“It’s just this year’s [Star Apprentice] voting. If you don’t mind, you can vote for me.”

On the second floor, sparse applause was heard. Everyone reacted differently to this matter. Some people had no expression on their faces, as if it had nothing to do with them.

Some people looked disdainful, while others actually admired Angron to some extent and therefore seemed very excited.

Regardless of what kind of person Angron was, his attainments in potions were indeed one of the best among the younger generation.

Treating everyone he’s stationed with will undoubtedly reduce stress for many people.

Angelo, Aisi and Locke stood at the edge of the crowd.

Angelo snorted disdainfully. “That’s a nice way of putting it, but it’s just because the Healing Center has set up three new places for excellent healers and one for outstanding healers this year to encourage us, the potion master’s assistants.”

“Outstanding Healer status will receive three bottles of Tears of Psychic Vision potion. Tears of Psychic Vision potion is one of the most complex potions in the apprentice stage. It can temporarily increase mental strength to a great extent.”

“If we want to conduct an experiment that requires a lot of mana, or refine a potion, we need to use this potion as an aid. So it’s considered a potion master’s assistant. It’s a commonly used but very expensive item.”

“Outstanding healer. If you are selected, you can even receive a bottle of [Hive Mind Potion], a first-level potion that greatly increases your mental strength.”

“He must have heard about this from his wizard mentor, so he hurriedly opened a studio here. But even so, he didn’t want to stay at the Healing Hands Clinic like us, but instead opened a special clinic here.”

Locke looked at him puzzledly. “How do you know? I don’t know.”

Angelo, replied: “Oh, the news will not be announced until a week later. I learned about it from my wizard mentor’s network of contacts.”

Locke nodded slightly. His wizard mentor, Witch Sophia, didn’t have many connections in Lilith’s Hut, so it was normal that she learned about this kind of news relatively late.

Angelou said, “The selection of outstanding healers is based primarily on the level of curses on the patients we treat, and secondly on the number of patients we treat.”

Locke nodded slightly. Perhaps because the wizard war was becoming more and more intense, the number of white wizards from various wizard academies coming to the treatment center also increased sharply.

However, the treatment center cannot afford to pay much money to the potion master’s assistants, so it uses this method to motivate everyone.

After all, four places, no matter how valuable the reward is, is lower than the cost of raising the salaries of all the potion master assistants in the treatment center.

Especially the treatment center, which basically uses the money for treating first-class wizard apprentices to subsidize second-class wizard apprentices and third-class wizard apprentices, otherwise they can’t afford to see a doctor at all.

If a large number of low-level wizard apprentices die in the academy, it will lead to a lack of successors in the next ten years.

Therefore, now the treatment center is actually trying to force these alchemist assistants to take a share of the profits.

Angelo said, “As for the Star Apprentice, it’s an old traditional award title, selected every five years.”

“The reward for that title isn’t much. It’s basically about everyone voting to select the first-class wizard apprentices we consider to be outstanding. It’s basically a matter of popularity, and most first-class wizard apprentices won’t be free to vote.”

“It’s just a title that increases the emotional connection between the wizards in the academy.”

Aisi scoffed softly, “That Angron, he really doesn’t want to miss out on any reward. It’s a pity that truly valuable titles like Chief Apprentice are based on comprehensive evaluation and the number of articles published.”

“His petty tricks are totally useless.”

Only now did Locke understand that the world of a first-class wizard apprentice actually had so many twists and turns.

He had just been promoted to a first-class wizard apprentice and had no idea how the game worked at this level.

Blank first-class wizard apprentices like them sat at one table; first-class wizard apprentices who had made some achievements and opened various botanical gardens and alchemy workshops sat at another table; wizard apprentices like Angron who were competing for various titles in the academy sat at another table.

However, as his plantation and pharmacy developed, his status among first-class wizard apprentices also quickly improved.

Recently, there have indeed been some relatively basic societies and gatherings of local wizard families that have been trying to invite me to participate in various ways, intentionally or unintentionally.

It’s just that I was too busy and felt that this kind of activity was meaningless. It would be better to focus on my own things, so I ignored it.

At that time, Angron and Aisi were still laughing privately at Angron’s shamelessness, but Locke interrupted them with a light cough.

The two turned their heads and were shocked to find that Angron was walking towards them.

Both of them were very embarrassed and even a little scared. After all, Angron was indeed smarter and more powerful than them, and his status was also higher than theirs.

The two of them were just chirping in private, not wanting Angron to hear them.

But to their surprise, Angron basically ignored the two of them. He just nodded slightly to them out of politeness, and then locked his eyes on Locke.

Angron put on a fake smile and said to Locke, “Is this Locke Augustine, the Potion Master?”

Locke nodded doubtfully. “Yes, Senior Angron, what’s wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?”

Angron’s smile widened. “No, no, it’s just that I’ve been hearing my mentor, Harun Vera, mention you quite a bit lately. There aren’t many students who a teacher can mention so often.”

“Brother Locke, if you encounter any problems in the treatment center in the future, you can come to my studio and ask me or my assistant for help.”

Angron smiled cheerfully and said, “Alright, Senior, I’m leaving now. I didn’t expect to see you here today. What a blessing.”

Locke greeted him, frowning slightly as he watched Angron leave.

He glanced at his ominous Mandrake vines and saw they hadn’t turned red, but Angron’s attitude just now made him feel strange.

Although there was nothing wrong with his face, I always felt that something was strange. The other party seemed to be very nervous when he saw me and was very wary of me.

I just don’t know what the other party is nervous about.

I shouldn’t have much contact with him.

Angel and Aisi breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him leave.

Ai Xi quickly asked Locke, “Locke, have you ever dealt with him?”

Angelo also looked at Locke.

Locke spread his hands and shook his head. “No, not at all.”

“So I don’t know what the situation is.”

Angelo frowned slightly, thinking. “He’s wary of you, so he’s deliberately acting like you’re his junior, making it seem like you absolutely must ask for his advice, or even his assistant.”

Angelo said, “Locke, it’s best if you have less contact with him. Angron is too competitive and jealous. His wizard mentor’s atmosphere is more about valuing genius and results.”

Locke thanked him and said, “Okay, I understand. I don’t think I’ll see him again next time. He won’t be able to come to the treatment center often.”

“I have a lot of things to do next.”

Although Locke couldn’t figure out the specific source of Angron’s strange attitude, he really didn’t want to have too much contact with him.

Anyway, I don’t have much interaction with him.

The most important thing for him next is to pass the breeder examination presided over by the grandmaster, and to think of a way to shorten the time it takes for his mental strength to reach 600.

“Hive Mind Potion…” Locke pondered, “That is to say, there are still a lot of resources that can promote the rapid improvement of magic power, but I just don’t have the money to buy it at the moment.”

‘And to obtain the title of Outstanding Healer, one needs to have remarkable achievements in potions for curing curses.’
