Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

That day was filled with exhausting travels, pursuits, blockades, and bombings. They barely had any rests, and were extremely tired.

Given a rare chance to rest, the three of them didn’t chat immediately.

Shortly after, Link broke the silence.

He turned his head to look at Elise, who was playing with her fingers towards the “Moonlight” and asked, “Elise, you knew all the people we ran into today, right?”

“Of course.”

Elise continued playing with her fingers, shaping them into all sorts of forms and answered nonchalantly, “I have had many dealings with them, especially with that Green Pond Tracey Lucia.”

Mid-sentence, Elise uttered a surprised, “Oh,” exclaiming, “It’s true, I wouldn’t have remembered if you hadn’t mentioned it. All the guys that came after us today were members of ‘ Pure Blood Volition’ who lean towards the Lucia family.”

“Lean towards?”

Link caught a crucial detail.

“Yep.”

Elise nodded, explainingas if it was a matter of course, “Several Pure Blood families are backing the ‘Pure Blood Volition’ from behind, so naturally, each has their own interests and holds their own sway.

Come to think of it, that Green Pond Tracey seems to have gathered all the outstanding first-year students from the Lucia family, just to corner you.

Tsk, what on earth have you done to offend the Lucia family to such an extent?”

Having voiced her musings, Elise looked at Link with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

She wanted to get a good look at the one capable of enraging the Lucia family to such a state that they won’t be satisfied unless they killed him.

Upon closer inspection, other than being a bit handsome, there was nothing unusual about him.

An ordinary guy with a nose and two eyes.

I don’t get it!

Link allowed Elise to stare at him. After a moment’s thought, he asked, “In that case, the remaining members of ‘Pure Blood Volition,’ the majority won’t be as relentless in chasing me down as Tracey Lucia?”

After considering it carefully, Elise offered up her own viewpoint: “The District School Tournament is extremely crucial unless they have a grudge against you or are in direct competition, who would knowingly neglect their own success just to target you under regular circumstances.”

“Hmm.”

Link nodded, deep in thought.

After a pause, Link enquired further, “You mentioned the opposition between Half Blood and Pure Blood previously, what would the Half Blood usually do during the District School Tournament?”

This was a question that Link had wanted to ask for a long time.

Regardless of the tension between Half Blood and Pure Blood, they were still local apprentices of the North District.

The District School Tournament not only judged individual performance and results but also collective accomplishment and honor.

Just because Half Blood claimed to be naturally aligned with Storm Sea New Blood, doesn’t mean they would help the Southern District secure the first place.

Link guessed that, at most, Half Blood would undermine Pure Blood when they targeted Storm Sea New Blood, or lend a hand when Storm Sea New Blood were up against Pure Blood.

When it came to vying for overall achievement, their own interests, or in other words, the interests of the North District took precedence.

If one were to sum up the relationship between Half Blood and New Blood in one sentence, they cooperate yet compete.

To summarise the relationship between Half Blood and Pure Blood in one sentence, they are at odds but also collaborators.

He asked Elise to verify his guess and to define the plan of action for their journey henceforth.

Elise didn’t hold back and simply responded, “Just go for it, seize the first place from them.”

Her straightforward reply set Link’s mind at ease.

It also laid the foundation for how Link planned to interact with Elise from thereon out.

“Let’s rest. We’ll have to hit the road after daybreak.”

Link ended the conversation immediately, having obtained the information he wanted.

Quite the indifferent fellow.

Elise pouted her lip, feeling as if she was given the cold shoulder.

Dalton, who was a silent spectator the entire time, felt that their conversation was highly informative and was extremely beneficial to him.

The three of them sank into silence once again.

In the silence, they bade farewell to the “Moon” and welcomed the “Sun”.

In this world, there is no distinction between day and night.

The arrival of the “Sun” marks the entire world as “midday”.

Link took out a cup and cast a secondary Misty Rain Technique along with a Purification Water Spell to create three cups of purified water.

Each got a cup, and they all started with rinsing their mouths.

Washing their faces and hands was even easier.

It was also achieved using a secondary Misty Rain Technique and a Purification Water Spell.

Only this time, Link used the secondary Misty Rain Technique more ingeniously.

Three strands of water suddenly appeared from thin air and were purified through the Purification Water Spell, and then they divided into several smaller strands of water, spraying mist, like water coming out of a showerhead.

The conditions out in the wild were limited, so they all cupped their hands to catch the water, quickly washing their hands and faces.

Simple, fast, and convenient.

“I want to brag about our victories yesterday, is that okay?”

Elise, who was playing joyfully by the water, similar to a mischievous kid, suddenly blurted out a statement after contently admiring the several rainbows she created.

“Sure.”

Link did not object, providing his affirmation.

One should know one’s place.

While Elise repeatedly claimed that she would follow his commands and even restrained her actions accordingly, not throwing tantrums indiscriminately. But could Link take that for granted and then blatantly boss Elise around?

No, he couldn’t.

The wristwatch allocated by the academy was in Elise’s hands, and she definitely had other magic tools for communication.

She sought his opinion in advance just to respect Link and keep her promise.

If she didn’t wish to respect him or keep her word any longer, she wouldn’t bother asking and just go ahead and do what she wanted.

When that happens, what could Link do other than being unhappy?

Split up?

If so, so be it. It wasn’t a big deal for Elise.

She was just having fun.

As a matter of fact, it was Link who occasionally obtained information about the North District and the ‘ Pure Blood Volition’ from Elise.
