Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 126: Encountering Virdantia University Again

Locke said to Terry, "I'm assigning you a task. This afternoon, a third-class wizard apprentice named Pierre will come. He's my friend, so try to ensure his safety when using him for experiments."
"You'll be responsible for conducting Memory Ointment effect experiments on wizard apprentices with him, and record his memory improvement effects daily in table form, as well as document all suspected side effects."
"For three months."
Terry, holding her materials, said, "Yes, boss."
"I understand everything."
She undoubtedly treasured this job very much, so she was very serious, even silently repeating Locke's requirements to completely remember his instructions.
Locke looked at the three wizard seeds he was teaching, his tone becoming somewhat gentler. After all, these people weren't his employees or his students, just borrowed from Teacher Sophia for a period of time.
He had to accurately gauge his attitude toward them.
Locke spoke more gently to the three, "I'll give you a learning opportunity. You'll be responsible for conducting control group experiments with Memory Ointment using lab mice, also recording the status of three control groups daily."
"One group won't use Memory Ointment, one group will use Memory Ointment but only half the dosage, and one group will use the daily standard dosage of Memory Ointment. You three supervise each other, don't fabricate data. This is a rare learning opportunity for you."
"If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask Terry."
"She's a second-class wizard apprentice, fully capable of guiding you. You should seize this rare learning opportunity well, as it will be very useful for you in the future."
All three wizard seeds bowed to Locke and expressed that they would study seriously.
Locke wasn't completely deceiving them. This was indeed a form of work experience and learning process for them.
In the future, when they became second-class wizard apprentices and looked for jobs, this experience would be one of their most presentable qualifications, adding much core competitiveness for them.
In principle, if Witch Sophia didn't have so few students, Locke would even need to arrange an exam, and only those who passed could get such opportunities.
So now, these two locally-born wizard seeds and the wizard seed Leo Sis from the overseas mundane world not only had no objections but were even very enthusiastic.
Leo hesitated, then said to Locke, "Senior, I've been learning Green Grasp recently, using your work, Super Mandrake Vines, but there are several things I don't understand. May I ask you?"
"I asked Senior Terry, but Senior Terry said she didn't quite understand either. Mainly, I have some confusion about understanding Ogham script."
The two locally-born wizard apprentices looked at Leo with surprise. They were so nervous they could barely speak whenever they saw Locke, so they hadn't thought that Leo would dare seize this free time to ask Locke questions.
Locke was momentarily stunned, then smiled.
Leo came from the overseas mundane world and was born a gladiator slave. This had greatly influenced his character, with both good and bad aspects.
But the good aspect was that he indeed had more courage than many greenhouse flowers.
He possessed some qualities that ordinary white wizards lacked.
In this regard, Locke felt he had some similarities with himself.
Locke nodded slightly. "I'm about to go to the Healing Hand Treatment Center, so I'll only give you five minutes. Go ahead and ask."
Leo breathed a sigh of relief. He had recently contacted other wizard seeds living on Dwarf Street and learned that not all seniors didn't charge "miscellaneous fees."
Some seniors under certain wizard mentors not only charged "miscellaneous fees" but also demanded that wizard seeds share the magic stones they earned working outside.
The reason was that their skills were all taught by the seniors, so the seniors had the right to share the magic stones they earned.
When Leo learned this, he realized how good Locke was to them.
For him, coming from a gladiator slave background, this made him feel an unusual warmth.
Leo immediately stated his questions, and Locke answered concisely and quickly.
Five minutes later, Locke said to Leo, who was still deep in thought, "Hmm, you already have some understanding of Green Grasp. That's quite good."
"Although your talent is only level 3, as long as you maintain this habit of thinking diligently, you'll one day reap the rewards that effort brings. Talent doesn't determine everything."
Leo, encouraged, nodded excitedly and said, "Senior, thank you for your encouragement."
"I'll take you as my goal and work toward becoming a potion master's assistant. I will work very seriously for you."
Locke chatted with him casually for a few sentences, then turned and mounted the Engel Swift Snail.
The snail quickly left the city and headed toward the valley where the Healing Hand Treatment Center was located.
"Both my botanical garden and pharmacy are developing rapidly. This is good." Locke jumped off the snail and entered the Healing Hand Treatment Center. "I've also made some progress recently in learning Minor Viridian Potion. Once I fully master it, the money I can earn at this treatment center will be quite considerable."
Locke entered the second floor, where Andrew and Axi, who had become friends, quickly came over to greet him.
Axi said, "Locke, you're finally here. Today we have a particularly troublesome second-class wizard apprentice. She's been cursed with something related to magical plants. Among the three of us, only you are a breeder. Come quickly and help us take a look."
"Oh right, this is Andrew's patient. Andrew couldn't handle it himself and asked me for help, but what can I do?"
Andrew looked somewhat embarrassed, coughed, then said to Locke, "Locke, this patient's situation is very troublesome. Come quickly and take a look. My wizard mentor told me I must cure her."
Locke looked at the two with confusion. "A second-class wizard apprentice? Can she afford the payment? Shouldn't this person be treated on the first floor?"
Axi quickly explained for Andrew, "This patient is a second-class wizard apprentice from Virdantia University who came for potionology research exchange, with level 6 qualifications, accompanying her mentor."
"But she was ambushed by Blood Curse Court on the way here. So the academy's higher-ups require us to treat her for free, otherwise it would somewhat embarrass our academy. Virdantia University seems to value her quite highly. I think her name is something like Ruxin."
"She also studies potionology, but since only first-class wizard apprentices can take the potion master assistant certification exam, she hasn't obtained any certificates yet."
Locke blinked. This name seemed familiar.
Wait...
Virdantia University...
Locke showed an expression indicating this was amusing. "The person you're talking about, I might have met before."
Andrew and Axi were puzzled. Axi asked, "Locke, I remember you haven't really left Lilith's Cottage much, have you?"
