Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 321: Apology from the Pyrotechnic Academy

Locke first returned to his residence. Now that he was already a formal wizard, he didn't need to prioritize his wizard mentor's opinions in everything like he did during the apprentice stage.
Locke first returned to his residence to receive the complete set of Sea Gold Sand magical plant-related supplies delivered by the White Wizard Association.
Inside the simple laboratory, Locke ordered a minotaur slave to lift a wooden crate onto the operating table. He opened the wooden crate, and immediately a two-meter-long Sea Gold Sand magical plant was revealed inside, along with a stack of magic books and several transcribed articles next to it.
This Sea Gold Sand was cultivated in a face-basin-sized pure gold flowerpot, which contained some high-grade nutrient soil mixed with gold sand.
This fern plant, Sea Gold Sand, was still overall green, except for golden lines between its stems and leaves, giving it an air of nobility.
Fern plants only had three core structural parts: roots without root hairs, stems, and leaves.
Therefore, for Sea Gold Sand to climb, it could only deform its leaves into a form suitable for climbing.
This was different from vine-type magical plants that used climbing abilities through methods like suction cups, tendrils, or aerial roots.
The leaves of Sea Gold Sand were all triangular. The leaves were very large, and the leaf stems were also relatively long.
All three edges of the triangular leaves had fine golden threads. These golden threads were extremely sharp and could be used for both climbing and injuring people.
The overall appearance of this magical plant resembled a golden-green spiral staircase, solemn and magnificent, extremely beautiful.
The moment Locke wanted to touch this magical plant with his hand, the entire Sea Gold Sand immediately showed an automatic defensive response. The triangular pinnate leaves secreted golden spore powder, enveloping the entire Sea Gold Sand. In an instant, the green spiral staircase became a golden spiral staircase.
The air of preciousness became even more intense.
Locke had previously read part of the literature on Sea Gold Sand and knew this was Sea Gold Sand's automatic defense mechanism. If he insisted on touching it with his palm, the Sea Gold Sand would use these golden spore powders to attack him.
It would also use the golden threads on the edges of the triangular pinnate leaves to cut him.
Once cut by those golden threads, his pain perception would become ten times more sensitive for a period of time. Even the slightest sting could turn into unbearable severe pain.
At the same time, Sea Gold Sand possessed the ability of [Elemental Infusion], just like the Blue Flag Iris that Witch Sophia once used. The moment it damaged a wizard, it would infuse gold element particles into their body, causing elemental imbalance within them.
This strategy was a common strategy for First Circle magical plants.
Because First Circle magical plants possessed countless tiny high-pressure reactors, they might automatically tend to evolve this kind of [Elemental Infusion] damage mechanism.
Locke looked at this Sea Gold Sand with satisfaction. At the same time, he activated Forest Sanctuary, having the Scorched Earth Holly forest bless him, allowing him to transform into forest ecology while releasing his magical pressure to force the Sea Gold Sand to give up resistance.
After the Sea Gold Sand persisted for three minutes, the spore gold powder on its surface immediately receded, restoring it to green.
"To master Sea Gold Sand, I still need to read some literature and magic books." Locke satisfactorily opened the first magic book of the Scorching Gold Sand Flow series. The upper half discussed the attack magic [Gold Sand Torrent], while the lower half discussed [Gold Sand Bullets].
Locke roughly read through seven thick magic books consecutively, flipping through them quickly. Only then did he discover that the Scorching Gold Sand Flow series of spells had a complete set of actually seven spells in total.
This was because the research on Sea Gold Sand should be considered quite in-depth, so there were very many related supporting spells that could completely unleash the full power of Sea Gold Sand, the king of golden-attribute magical plants.
From Sea Gold Sand's roots and spore powder to its climbing leaves, there were dedicated spells to develop their functions.
Its degree of perfection was very high.
"Sea Gold Sand is an old traditional flagship project developed by Virdantia University. Virdantia University is indeed the top wizard force in the southeastern quadrant." Locke sighed, because Sea Gold Sand had been a project for a very long time, so many research results had long been published by Virdantia University.
Of course, some of the most cutting-edge research was definitely still in the hands of that research group and hadn't been published yet.
But just the current [Scorching Gold Sand Flow] series of magic composed of these seven spell models was already sufficiently complete. Seven attack magics corresponding to various situations were enough to enrich his spell pool and make up for what he currently lacked most.
"After I return, I'll read the related literature." Locke said, "There are also two First Circle magics related to the Executioner’s Hammer Mushroom that I need to learn as soon as possible."
The Executioner’s Hammer Mushroom was actually a First Circle rare magical plant.
The reason it was rare wasn't for any other reason, but because this thing had to receive energy nourishment when you advanced from apprentice to formal wizard in order to mature, and then it was bound to this wizard's soul aura, so it couldn't be traded.
Therefore, generally formal wizards, unless they had Executioner’s Hammer Mushroom spores when advancing, couldn't possibly possess the Executioner’s Hammer Mushroom.
Thus, the Executioner’s Hammer Mushroom became a rare magical plant.
This mushroom was indeed powerful. This time, when he forcibly used it with All Plants Are Soldiers, it actually created the achievement of crushing a First Circle witch to death. It was truly formidable.
Locke tidied up the laboratory, then rode the Engel Swift Snail to Halen Vera's office.
Locke pushed open Halen Vera's office door. "Teacher, you were looking for me? Is there something?"
"Hmm? Teacher Halen, do you have other guests? I seem to have come at an inopportune time."
As Locke walked into the office, he was stunned for a moment and discovered there were other people in Halen Vera's office. They wore red wizard robes and were people from the Pyrotechnic Academy.
Halen Vera said, "No, it's exactly the right time."
"This is Witch Melanie Carlyle from the Pyrotechnic Academy, a witch at the liquefaction stage and the inventor of the Rapid-Fire Bright Flame Curse."
"This time she participated in the White Wizard Association's assistance to Lilith's Cottage, which is why she came to our academy. These are her students. Today... they've come to apologize."
Witch Melanie Carlyle coughed, then looked at Locke somewhat awkwardly and said with apology, "Wizard Augustine, these foolish students only told me yesterday that they actually intruded into the Forbidden Forest and launched an attack on you."
"This is simply too foolish. I feel very sorry, so I want to bring these students to apologize to you and present you with gifts to maintain the friendship between us."
Locke had long since spotted among the crowd several first-class wizard apprentices from the Pyrotechnic Academy, including that wizard seed called Wayne Acosta.
At this time, several previously arrogant Pyrotechnic Academy wizard apprentices all guiltily lowered their heads under Locke's calm gaze, not daring to make eye contact with Locke.
After this incident happened, they knew this matter wasn't something they themselves could resolve and they had to find their wizard mentor to resolve it.
And when Witch Melanie Carlyle learned of this matter, she was also greatly shocked. She didn't want to become enemies with the Eye Demon wizard Locke Augustine, who had just made a name for himself and was in the limelight a few days ago, because of her students' foolish behavior.
No matter how you looked at it, this wizard's methods were very powerful. Although he was currently only at the vaporization stage and still had a large gap compared to her.
But he had just become a formal wizard.
Witch Melanie Carlyle, as a veteran formal wizard, wasn't afraid of Locke either. And as an Incinerator with extremely powerful combat ability, she wasn't afraid of fighting anyone.
But she also didn't want to inexplicably become enemies with such a powerful formal wizard just because of a few students' foolish behavior. So after she found out, she immediately brought people over to apologize.
