Chapter 21: Fire Element Seed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Nina? Wasn’t this the name of the female protagonist of the original novel? As Michael lived longer and longer in this world, his memories of the original world became fainter and fainter. In addition, he kept recalling his past in this world. As those memories gradually became clear in his mind, he began to feel that the past was like a vague dream.

However, Nina’s appearance made his memory of the book clearer. Although he still couldn’t recall the exact details. However, he also had some memories of people who could be invested in the book. If he met these people in the future, he would probably remember those memories immediately.

With these memories, wouldn’t it be easy to find them again?

With the help of his treasury space, perhaps Team Z would soon become the most powerful team of mages on the continent of Tyre. Although he might not be able to return to the world where he became a spirit, it was not bad to become a big shot in this world.

After hearing Nina’s reason for appearing here, Michael frowned again, because this was still the early part of the original story. He remembered very clearly that the female protagonist should still be in the academy for the annual assessment at this time. It seemed that his appearance here had caused a certain change in the plot of the original book. No wonder, during this period of time, he tried to find the female lead, going to the places where she should have appeared, but failed.

From the looks of it, the other plots might have changed as well. Now, Michael didn’t know where the characters in the book that could be invested in were, which was very troublesome. Fortunately, Nina’s appearance meant that although those people had deviated from the original book’s plot, they still existed on this continent.

“Found an investor, Nina.” Just as Michael was thinking about how to invite Nina to join his team, Kanal began to speak.

[One spirit rabbit. Return of investment: 500 fire elemental seeds.]

“The rain is too heavy. Come with us to the castle to hide. The castle is protected by the magic of the academy. It’ll be safer for you to follow us.”

“Alright.” Nina agreed immediately. The few of them continued to set off towards the castle.

Castle Z.

As soon as he entered the castle’s protection, the sky, which was originally windy, became clear. The warm sunlight shone on the ground, reflecting the beautiful light of the castle. The overly quiet and peaceful scenery here formed a sharp contrast with the outside.

It was as if everything that had just happened was just an insignificant nightmare.

Thanks to Derek Academy’s outstanding strength, the place he protected was as safe as a paradise or a shelter in a storm. For some magic academies with average strength, the only thing that protected them was the fact that there were no storms. For the worse academies, keeping the mages and apprentices alive in their protected areas was already the limit.

“It seems that you are heading towards the outskirts of the Dark Forest, and your spiritual pet is also a sparrow.” Michael took out a spirit rabbit from the treasury. Not long ago, Michael had gotten one from Mr. Royce, and the rest were temporarily placed in the courtyard of the castle where spiritual pets were raised.

“You must really want to find the spirit rabbit, right?”Michael handed the rabbit over to him. It just so happens that I have the spirit rabbit you need. We don’t know how to raise them, so we’ll give them to you.”

“And you acted alone just now. It is very dangerous for an apprentice to act alone. Do you want to consider joining our team?”

If Michael’s memory served him right, Nina should not have met her teammates this time. Just now, she was trapped in the storm alone, which also meant that although the plot had changed. Nina did not meet her teammates in advance.

Michael took advantage of this time to get Nina into his team first. After all, her first teammate was not a good person. They took Nina in because they had taken a fancy to her ability to tame spirit beasts, treating her as a tool. After realizing her talent had decreased, her teammates kicked her out of the team without hesitation. As for Nina turning the tables and becoming the female protagonist, taking revenge on her teammates, that was another story.

The current Nina had yet to be abandoned and betrayed by her teammates, and she had yet to mature into a decisive female protagonist. At this moment, she still had the adorable character of a cute little sister.

“Our team is Mage Team Z. The publicity board in the academy should be very popular these few days. Join us. You won’t regret it.” In order to increase his credibility, Michael brought out York’s report.

Nina had also heard of the report, but she had a hard time recognizing faces. She only remembered the name Z after reading a newspaper in a hurry. After Michael’s reminder, he realized that the person in front of him was Michael, who had recently become the most famous person in Derek Academy.

Thinking of the academy’s publicity department report, Nina considered for a moment and chose to join the Z Mage team.

Spirit plant field.

Nina volunteered to take care of all the spirit rabbits. Under Nina’s care, all the little rabbits became round.

In the spirit plant field not far from the breeding room, Carl was watering the fire element seeds that had been sown. This spirit plant loved water and needed to be watered every few hours. It also needed to be protected by regular pest control and other methods.

During the day, Carl stayed in the field all day. At night, Eric took over Carl’s shift and continued caring for the spirit plants. After these days of careful care, the fire element seed had already sprouted.

The buds, leaves, and fruits of fire elements were all good materials for alchemy, but no one knew the specific alchemy formula.

After Michael picked the fire sprout, he spent the next few days in the alchemy room, trying out all possible formulas.

Derek Academy.

“I really don’t want to go to someone like Miller,” An apprentice complained.

“Yeah, how annoying. The academy’s general examination is really troublesome.”

It was time for the annual student survey. The number of mages in the academy was not fixed. Every year, there would be mages who left for various reasons, and there would also be new mages who joined.

In order to get an accurate grasp of the number of mages in the academy, the academy would conduct a general survey every year to search for those missing mages.

This year, Miller and his little brother had gone missing. The academy had issued a missing person notice for the mages to search for them.

However, most of the magic apprentices were disgusted with Miller and did not want to look for him. Some people even felt that a mage like Miller would disappear forever.

Some apprentices who had been bullied by Miller all year round went to the wishing tree to pray, hoping he would never appear again.
