Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 81 - : The Exchange Tournament Begins

Chapter 81: Chapter 81: The Exchange Tournament Begins

The day for the exchange match arrived in a blink of an eye.

[Spiritual Power 41, Physique 45, Magic Power 410, Rating: Advanced Apprentice]

In his bedroom, Richard looked at the data in the Crystal Ball and nodded with satisfaction.

After two years of meditation, Richard’s spiritual power had returned to the standard of an advanced wizard apprentice.

This was undoubtedly a good thing for Richard’s upcoming exchange match.

As long as the level gap was not too wide, a slight difference in spiritual power could completely be compensated for with knowledge.

Coming to the balcony, he opened the window. As usual, three days before the exam, an academy inspector would come to distribute the rules.

Squawk! Squawk!

Sure enough, just as Richard opened the window, an Academy Inspector flew over, clutching a scroll in its claws.

Richard took the scroll back into the room, ready to see what this Deputy Dean had hidden for so long about the competition.

“Hiss…”

Upon unrolling the scroll, Richard gasped in surprise.

“Apprentice war, has the academy gone mad?”

According to the Wizard Rules set by the Truth Council, Black Wizards conduct bloody exams, focusing on rear attacks, while White Wizards do not conduct bloody exams, focusing on straightforward legion combat.

These are two completely different developmental ideologies.

Yet in this scroll, the Black Tower Wizard Academy, combined with three other Black Wizard Academies, and three White Wizard Academies, had jointly organized this exam named the Apprentice War.

In this exam, Black Wizard Apprentices and White Wizard Apprentices had to kill each other, vying for resource points on the map.

Isn’t this akin to conducting a bloody exam for White Wizards?

Looking at the rules on the scroll, Richard sighed, casting aside the superfluous thoughts in his mind.

Whether this exam conformed to the rules was not his concern, what he needed to do now was to familiarize himself with the rules quickly and then take the lead in this war.

According to the rules, the battlefield was divided into three areas, with apprentices from both camps scattered equally across the three areas.

In these three areas, each area had seven resource points, which would transmit a thousand Magic Stones every month. At the start of the war, each faction had three resource points per area, while the remaining resource point acted as a public resource point, belonging to whoever occupied it.

Additionally, in this war, the number of Magic Stones an apprentice could carry was limited to three thousand.

This illustrated that the resource points were designed to entice the apprentices from both sides into a bloody slaughter.

Magic Stones equated to combat power—once one faction’s acquisition of Magic Stones increased, it meant that the balance of victory would tilt towards the side with more Magic Stones.

The victory conditions for this war were simple—if one side held fewer than two resource points, or if the number of apprentices dropped to less than half, that side was considered to have lost. After all regional wars ended, the overall outcome would be judged based on the victorious areas of both sides.

As for the rewards and punishments for apprentices after the match, that was for the academy to decide.

The Black Tower Wizard Academy, for victories, offered ten guaranteed Wizard positions, along with Magic Stones exchanged based on the number of apprentices killed. If the match was lost, all these rewards would be nullified, and the academy would additionally conduct a bloody exam.

It could be said that both the rewards and punishments were quite extreme.

However, after all, the Black Tower Wizard Academy was a Black Wizard Academy, and it was quite normal for rewards and punishments to be a bit extreme.

After reading the rules, Richard massaged his temples as he began to contemplate his strategy.

War was different from the bloody exams that involved killing each other; it emphasized strategy, organization, and execution.

If the White Wizard Apprentices were trained as an army corps, then they would have a decisive advantage in this war.

Since the White Wizard Academy did not have bloody exams, the number of their apprentices was astonishingly high, almost three and a half times more than the Black Wizard Academy.

In a regular war, this number disparity would basically declare the end of the battle.

Yet the Academy’s rules did not favor the Black Wizard Apprentices, which made Richard very curious about what the White Wizard Academy was really like.

With such a disparity in numbers exceeding three times, yet still allowing the rules not to favor Black Wizards.

Could all these White Wizards be incompetent?

Richard looked at the scroll again, ensuring he had not misread the data.

The number of White Wizard Apprentices was indeed more than three times theirs.

“I hope these White Wizards are really as weak as I imagine.”

Once he rolled up the scroll, Richard began preparing for the Apprentice War.

Due to the regulated amount of Magic Stones by the academy, Richard had to exchange as many excess Magic Stones for alchemy materials as possible, specifically choosing a lot of materials for Annihilation Hand Grenades.

Recently having new ideas about Alchemy Machines, this was an opportunity to practice on these White Wizards.

Three days flashed by, and it was the day of the competition.

Apprentices neatly lined up in formations on the plaza directly in front of the Central Black Tower, each having a badge pinned to their chests by a Mechanical Puppet.

The badge, a miniature version of the Central Black Tower, had the apprentice’s name and level engraved on the back.

This badge not only served as a dog tag for the apprentices but also as a medal of merit for opposing apprentices.

Since this event involved multiple academies, the usual cursed points system no longer applied. To count how many apprentices one had killed, one had to collect academy badges from enemy apprentices—throwing away your badge to save your life was useless, as these badges would be tallied at the end of the test, and any apprentice without a badge would be executed by the academy.

As usual, Deputy Dean Alex gave a brief speech.

“Apprentices of the 432nd class of the Black Tower Wizard Academy, today you will undergo an unprecedented test.

This is a great trial, requested by six Great Wizards to the Truth Council, and after hundreds of years of long waiting, the great Truth Wizard agreed to this experiment.

This means that every move you make is being watched by the great Truth Wizard.

The Truth Wizard is watching us!”

Deputy Dean Alex was unusually passionate this time, his speech fervent, waving his arms continuously.

His emotions quickly spread to the apprentices on the ground. Although the apprentices did not know what this competition implied, under Alex’s speech, they became pioneers in the Wizard World, great explorers, and their names would even be inscribed on the eternal monument to be worshipped by future generations.

However, Richard was not swayed by this passion.

Fanaticism was a double-edged sword for wizards; though it could make wizards more passionate about doing something, it could affect their rationality, preventing them from making the best judgments.

Alex’s speech soon ended, and afterwards, he waved his Magic Wand, and alongside him, dozens of Wizards around the apprentice formation waved their wands as well, together completing this massive Spell.

The location of this Apprentice War was not in the Wizard World, but within the Secret Realm of a Great Wizard.
