Warlock Apprentice

“Occult Illusionist.”

Angor was expecting something like this. After bidding farewell to the tree spirit, he quickly left the room.

Sailum showed great jealousy when he heard Angor’s test result. Angor was unsure of how to comfort the boy further. Different arts and branches were not divided into better or lesser ones. Everything depended on their users. An Occult Illusionist also had to work hard like everyone else.

All the talents participated in the test one after another and received their orientations. Considering how Occultists were scarce, Angor thought he was the only one. Surprisingly though, another talent in the group turned out to be an Occult talent as well.

Hookdick. Occult Soul Manipulator.

The man looked really proud when declaring his talent. He did not forget to give Angor a malevolent stare. Angor only sneered in response, which instantly replaced Hookdick’s arrogant smile with anger.

Three of them were Bloodline Wizards: Nausica, Fosah, and Balba.

All the remaining ones were Elementalists.

Sailum, Angor, and Hookdick were the only ones who received a detailed recommendation. Everyone else only had one of the three major arts pointed out, so they had to wait for a professor to take them in before knowing their exact branch.

After testing out every talent, the tree spirit resumed his sunbathing session while the talents returned to the hall by following a servant.

Melaner had already received the results. She recorded their spirit indicators into their bone cards one by one. As a mortal, Melaner had been working in the tree spirit hall for many years, so she clearly knew about the three major arts for wizards as well as their equality. She did not have any special ideas when recording different talents.

For a certain family matter, she had to “adhere” herself to a supernatural. This meant that she had to offer everything to her master, and this included her body. It was why she paid extra attention to two of the talents who had better looks—Angor and Balba. Too bad Angor already had a beautiful lady alongside while Balba did not show the tiniest bit of interest in her. She had to choose Fosah in the end.

Melaner checked Fosah’s test result.

[Fosah: Bloodline. Spiritual power indicator: 12]

An average result. Someone with such a spirit level was unlikely to become a wizard. However, since Fosah was her only choice, she had to accept him. Thinking about this, Melaner sighed a little and continued her job.

On the last bone card, she saw Angor’s name.

[Angor: Occult Illusionist. Spiritual power indicator: 15]

This was above average among the talents. After putting the information into the bone card, she saw another line below.

And she was shocked!

[Tutor: Sunders]

The legendary wizard took Angor in as his student?!

Sunders’ name was well-known in the entire southern region, and he was even more famous in Brute Cavern. Apart from the authorities of Brute Cavern, the man was basically the strongest wizard. Any apprentice would pay absolutely any price to become his pupil.

And someone like Sunders just took in a newly joined talent as his student?

These talents would be arranged under the names of the other wizards later anyway. However, they were only apprentices, not personal students. This piece of information on the bone card would only show up when a wizard accepted someone as a real student.

Since Sunders’ name had appeared on Angor’s card, this meant that Angor was now one of the closest students of Sunders. This was very different from being a general apprentice.

Melaner regretted. If she had known this, she would try her best to offer herself to Angor, no matter how many women he already had. As Sunders’ student, Angor had a great chance of becoming a great wizard!

Of course, adhering to an apprentice was a worse choice than finding a real wizard.

…

When Angor stepped into the tree spirit hall, he immediately saw Melaner showing a flattering look at him.

Fosah, on the other hand, grimaced immediately. The fatty was planning to “have” Melaner tonight. He did not expect that the woman would change her mind so fast and was now adoring the weakling bastard who did not even participate in the deathmatches!

Fosah humphed coldly, which caused Melaner to feel fear. She tried to explain, but she did not in the end.

Fosah took his bone card, threw a hateful gaze at Angor, and left the hall quickly.

Angor did not understand what was going on. What was the deal with this woman? Seeing how she was trying to worm closer, Angor grew goosebumps instead of liking the “pleasant gift”.

Angor thought Nausica would help him avoid this woman. To his surprise, Nausica kept her distance and looked at him with an “Oh, I like drama!” attitude. On the other side, when Melaner realized Nausica just gave her a big opportunity, she began to reveal her sweet emotions more aggressively.

As an educated gentleman, Angor did not voice out his disgust, which further enticed Melaner. She was now staring at Angor timidly while reaching for Angor’s arm with a hand.

Before she could actually get Angor, he pushed her away.

Melaner tripped and fell. She looked totally embarrassed. However, when Angor looked at her, she quickly put up a weird expression which was mixed by desire and anxiety.

Another office lady came and helped Melaner up. Then she gave Angor a hostile look.

“Do you have any idea what kind of family Melaner came from? Otherwise, she will not—”

Melaner covered the lady’s mouth and sobbed, “Mira, stop… Just let me bear it all, alone.”

The lady called Mira looked at Melaner with a sympathetic look, “Oh Melaner… You really don’t have to…”

All the talents watched the play in puzzlement. So there was some kind of story behind all this? No wonder the woman crept up the second she saw the talents. Gods, these two women were really terrible actresses.

“Hey Angor, maybe…” Innocent boy Sailum tried to tell Angor something, but he stopped halfway. What should he say? They did not even know what Melaner wanted.

His attempt worsened Angor’s mood, though.

Angor had no idea who Melaner was. A strange woman who suddenly flattered a guy for no reason? He was far from those horny pigs who could not wait to penetrate every female creature they saw.

He did not intend to accept a woman who did not know how to control herself. Melaner had been using her “I have a good reason” expression as best as she could, and Angor did not care.

There are lots of people out there with their own various reasons. Why should I devote myself to you?

You have a sad story in you? Not my business.

Angor ignored the two actresses and turned to leave without looking back.
