After completing his first meditation Robin felt very refreshed his spirit attribute increased by 0.0002, this may not sound a lot but the numbers eventually add up, thinking of this he take out the box containing ancestor’s relic which he kept under the bed.
After opening the box he revealed the bag inside it, he learned lot in this span half month during his time in the academy. Compared to when he first came to academy, he dare not say he know all about wizard world but he feels less ignorant than before.
The bag he is now holding in his hand is called a space bag, a magic item used by wizard apprentices to store items in it. Why only wizard apprentice what about the official wizards? Well, they use something called a space ring which contains far more space and convenient to use.
Even though all apprentice can use space bags, generally only third level apprentice and some strong second level apprentices can afford to have it because, first of all space bag itself is pretty expensive (around 100 magic stones) and your average first and second level apprentice cannot afford it, secondly even if some can afford it, without strength to keep it buying a space bag is just sending free gift to others.
Thinking of this a chill ran towards his spine, luckily he didn’t show it to anyone otherwise consequences must be disastrous but on the bright side of things, to own a space bag means it is confirmed that his great grandfather must be at least at the level of third class wizard apprentice.
Thinking of holding the relic of third class apprentice his eyes flashed with greed. After reconfirming no one is around even though he is pretty sure he is the only one in the room. He chanted the incantation for opening the space bag.
After chanting the incantation the bag slowly opened, he then hurriedly take out the items in the bag. It contained four items, a box with seals on it, book with the picture snake similar to Oswald family logo on it, a black orb and lastly a thick worn out diary.
Robin first examined the diary, it looked like the pages were made of some kind of leather and seemed like the owner of the diary must have used this lot to produce this kind of wear and tear on the tough leather. After examining the diary he started reading it.
Flash forward three hours later, after closing the book Robin gave a complicated look at the other items on the table. The diary indeed belong to his great grandfather, in it he describes about up and downs he faced during his lifetime.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
It is more of an autobiography than a research diary but it also answers many of his questions. From the diary he got insight into his great grandfather’s life and actually his great grandfather is not from this region at all, he came from a faraway place called Under Dark domain. It controlled by an academy called Tower of shadows.
The domain he is currently in is called Thunder domain and it is controlled by the Austin family. To control a domain at least fourth level great wizard is needed and the strongest person in the dark forest academy, the dean is only a third level wizard. It is described in the diary that tower master of tower of shadows was a fifth level great wizard.
His great grandfather was a student at tower of shadows and unlike him, his great grandfather had first class qualification. He was destined become an official wizard but when he and his fellow apprentice were exploring a wizard ruin, he was backstabbed by his fellow apprentice.
Even though he managed to kill the apprentice, he was seriously injured and also damaged his foundation and worst of all, the apprentice he killed happened be a descendant of second level wizard, so in order to escape from the pursuit of second level wizard he faked his death and fled to Thunder domain.
The box with the seal he took from the space bag is one of the things his great grandfather got from the wizard relic, it contains something called spirit burning potion. The owner of wizard relic, he and his fellow mate happened to be a pharmacist, at first they thought this as a regular wizard relic but after knowing that it belong to a pharmacist they turned against each other, which resulted in his great grandfather fleeing the domain.
The owner of the wizard relic was researching on a potion capable of reversing the effect of sky blue potion.
To become an official wizard an apprentice has to sublimate his soul, in simple terms, spirit attribute greater than 10. To increase spirit, there are many ways, safest one being with the help of advanced meditation method but most organization actively restrict knowledge related to advanced meditation method.
Even his great grandfather who was a student of tower of shadows only heard about advanced meditation method and not actually seen it himself, which shows the preciousness of it.
It said that some high level advanced meditation method even has effect of increasing spirit for third level wizards.
Since many cannot afford advanced meditation method, so they set their sights on the next best alternative, which being the sky blue potion.
The sky blue potion has the effect of increasing spirit by burning the vitality. But using of sky blue potion has also has many disadvantages, first of all if you failed to become an official wizard, you directly reduced to ashes due to burning of vitality and even after becoming an official wizard, unless there is an great opportunity it is harder to make up for the lost vitality.
It is harder make progress in wizard way after using sky blue potion unless you use precious potion to make up for the lost vitality. Many wizards stuck on first level due this problem.
