After leaving the botanical garden, Witch Sophia said to Locke outside the wooden hut, "The supporting spell for the Mana Co-frequency Cultivation thod is the First Circle spell Mana Sun."
"And there's no decomposed cantrip model."
Locke raised his eyebrows, "Then teacher, do first-class wizard apprentices have to rely on alchemical equipnt to achieve the Mana Co-frequency Cultivation thod?"
"Is the equipnt expensive?"
Witch Sophia nodded and praised, "I must comnd you, your insight is quite good."
"Indeed it is. First-class wizard apprentices who cannot cast Mana Sun themselves, artificially create specific frequencies, and conduct directional magical plant mutations can only purchase Radiation Cauldrons sold by alchemical workshops."
"Radiation Cauldrons also require wizards of first-class wizard apprentice level and above to operate."
"Radiation Cauldrons are expensive to make, requiring First Circle level alchemists to spend considerable effort crafting them personally. One Radiation Cauldron might cost twenty to thirty thousand magic stones."
"Therefore, ordinary first-class wizard apprentices rarely buy them. You can rent them at Chira Trading Market." Witch Sophia looked at the platinum star adorning Locke's wizard robe and smiled, "Lijin Secret Language has them for rent. Since you're a mber there, renting from them can save you quite a few magic stones."
"I think renting a Radiation Cauldron for one month should cost around five hundred magic stones."
Witch Sophia looked slightly troubled, "I should have kept the Radiation Cauldron I used during my apprentice period. Unfortunately, I packed it up and sold it a few months ago. Otherwise, I could have lent it to you."
Witch Sophia pointed to the monocle Locke was wearing, "I'll lend you this Focus Monocle for now. You don't need to return it to yet."
"Just be careful, a Focus Monocle costs at least ten thousand magic stones."
"I used it very carefully before, so it's still half-new now."
When Locke heard that the glasses he was wearing on his left eye actually cost ten thousand magic stones, he felt the monocle had beco unprecedentedly heavy.
He carefully removed the monocle, took out a handkerchief from his wizard robe pocket, carefully wrapped it, and placed it in his Astral Ring.
Locke smiled bitterly at Witch Sophia, "Teacher, breeder equipnt really burns through money."
Witch Sophia smiled with pursed lips, as if recalling so mory, "I understand how you feel right now."
"It will get better later. Everyone has a difficult start."
"I'll try to help you as much as possible. Fortunately, you have outstanding talent in the breeding field. Geniuses always have an easier path."
"The advanced ditation technique will be personally delivered to you by higher-ups after a while. You'll probably need to sign a non-disclosure agreent then."
The flower on Witch Sophia's witch hat automatically turned serious black, while the smile on her face quickly faded, becoming serious and cold, even more like a formal academy wizard instructor than when Locke first t her.
Locke looked to the left front and saw three new students had already arrived at the edge of Witch Sophia's wooden hut cluster with recomndation letters.
These three new students still had so childishness on their faces, two female wizard prospects and one male wizard prospect. All three looked at Locke and Sophia with awe and curiosity.
But when Sophia looked at them, they all fearfully lowered their heads, avoiding eye contact and not daring to look up.
Witch Sophia extended her right hand, and imdiately all three assignnt letters in their hands flew into her grasp.
Witch Sophia glanced over the three assignnt letters and chuckled softly, "The academy has assigned you three to . From now on, you're all my students."
"Your primary compatible elent particles are all wood elent particles. One of you has the specialty of independently brewing Hemostatic Powder potion on the wizard ship?"
Among the three new students, a wizard prospect about 16 years old suddenly trembled. After hesitating several tis, he still gritted his teeth and mustered courage, "Teacher Sophia, that's ."
Witch Sophia casually humd and whispered to Locke, "This wizard prospect's experience before boarding the ship is sowhat similar to yours. Probably soone among the academy higher-ups is envious of your advancent speed, so they sent this wizard prospect with similar experiences to ."
"They want to replicate another you."
"But I'm not so gold dal instructor. I don't have that great ability."
"Geniuses are very hard to replicate."
Locke looked at that wizard apprentice's assignnt letter and found the other party also had Level 3 aptitude, with experiences indeed very similar to his own.
His growth should have exceeded the academy's original expectations for him, causing the academy to suspect that Witch Sophia was a very excellent wizard instructor, which was why they did this.
And Witch Sophia saw through this point, hence her slight dissatisfaction.
Locke nodded slightly, indicating he understood what Witch Sophia said.
Actually, initially Witch Sophia only treated him as her first student. Later, after several attitude changes toward him, she beca so focused on him and their relationship beca so close.
Witch Sophia looked seriously at the three wizard prospects. This ti she seed more experienced, "Course schedules tailored to your individual situations will be given to you in a few days. My ti is very busy, so my student Locke Augustine, a first-class wizard apprentice, will substitute teach for you."
"From now on, you can find Locke for any questions or matters."
Witch Sophia directly handed the three assignnt letters to Locke, "Locke, I'll leave this to you."
"From now on, you'll teach them five tis a week, about one hour each ti."
"Unless there are special circumstances, you don't need to tell . I trust your ability and judgnt. You're sufficient to instruct them."
Locke took the assignnt letters and said to Witch Sophia, "Yes, teacher, don't worry."
"I'll properly instruct these junior students."
Just considering the Focus monocle worth ten thousand magic stones that Witch Sophia had "lent" him was enough to make him help her with these students.
Moreover, Witch Sophia was so busy every day yet still set aside ti to teach him.
If he didn't want his class ti to be squeezed out, he could only substitute for Witch Sophia in teaching these three wizard prospects.
Witch Sophia nodded trustingly at Locke, then turned and left, entering the nearby laboratory.
The heavy, tense atmosphere only slightly eased after Witch Sophia's figure completely disappeared behind the wooden door.
But the three wizard prospects still didn't dare breathe heavily. They secretly glanced at Locke, montarily not daring to speak proactively because they didn't know Locke's personality as their senior.
They were afraid that speaking carelessly might anger Locke.
anwhile, Locke was looking down and checking the assignnt letters to understand their individual information, with no intention of speaking first.
