Wizards: Starting with the Refined Meditation Technique Guide

Chapter 149 Invitation

Chapter 149 Invitation

Time passed day by day.

Leo, who was engrossed in refining potions, received a message from Sally.

Leo then temporarily stopped refining and went to his mentor's office.

"Leo, you've finally arrived!"

Inside the office, the person who was happiest when they saw Leo was not Sally or Tesla, but Elise, who rushed over to them.

Elise held up a ranking list and pointed it at Leo, saying, "Leo, this is the ranking of the Rising Stars."

"I'm number one!"

Leo looked at the rankings and asked uncertainly, "You're a rising star now?"

Elise lowered her head and said, "Not yet, but I've made it to the finals, and I think I can definitely become a rising star!"

Leo looked at Tesla as if confirming something.

Tesla nodded and said, "Leo, she's practically a rising star."

"She asked you to come over because she wants to ask her grandfather a question. If it's convenient, could you help her out?"

Leo hesitated for a moment, then took out a jar from his spatial storage bag, which contained part of Grandpa Iris's remains.

Leo used necromancy.

Grandpa Elise's phantom image appeared.

This time, Elise didn't pounce immediately. Instead, she looked around and said, "Leo, can we continue somewhere else?"

Leo looked at the wizard Sally.

Sally said, "You guys go outside and handle this first, then come back in when you're done."

Leo and Iris went outside.

The corridor was empty.

Looking at her grandfather's illusory figure, Elise asked, "Grandpa, do you want me to become a gladiator?"

Grandpa Elise's phantom did not answer.

Iris looked at Leo with a pitiful expression.

Leo remained silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you want Elise to become a gladiator?"

The phantom replied, "I don't wish for that. Gladiator isn't a particularly honorable profession. If possible, I would hope that Elise could become a nobleman's principal wife and live a life of comfort and ease. However, we are not destined for that, so I hope she can become a gladiator or possess the power to protect herself."

Upon hearing the phantom's reply, Elise fell silent.

Leo asked, "Is it over?"

"I have another question I'd like to ask. Could you please continue to inquire about my grandfather?"

Leo nodded and said, "Okay."

Elise clutched the hem of her dress with her right hand, like a nervous little girl, and asked, "Grandpa, would you be happy if I became a wizard?"

Leo asked, "Can you accept Elise becoming a wizard?"

"If Elise becomes a wizard, then I can die in peace."

Iris's grandfather's words made her lips move slightly, her expression somewhat complicated.

"That's all. Leo, thank you."

After Elise finished speaking, she turned around and faced away from Leo.

Elise's voice rang out: "Leo, during this time I've been studying wizarding subjects, and I've discovered a different experience from when I was a gladiator."

"As a gladiator, I wasn't the best; I was just one of many nameless gladiators. But as a wizard, I discovered that I was the best among the wizards I competed with."

"When I talked with other wizards at the gathering, the expectant look, the fearful look, and the apprehensive look in their eyes were all experiences I had never had before."

"An idea unconsciously sprouted in my mind."

Elise turned around.

The innocent and simple look in their eyes has changed at this moment.

An emotion called ambition began to sprout in Elise's eyes.

Elise said, "I want to rise higher among the wizards. I want to look down on everyone. I want to become a powerful wizard."

Leo smiled and said, "That's a good idea."

"You have a talent that others don't have, and becoming a wizard will definitely not be a bad choice for you."

Elise suddenly leaned close to Leo, baring her sharp, shark-like teeth near his ear, and said, "Leo, although I intend to become a wizard, my past beliefs have not changed."

"I will defeat you."

"I will step on you to reach even greater heights of wizardry."

"I'm going to ravage you and destroy your self-esteem."

What has changed in Elise's words is her naivety, but what remains unchanged is her wild, animalistic, and aggressive personality.

She looked at Leo just like Leo's eyes when he was aiming.

They become aggressive, as if they have spotted their prey.

Leo asked, "Why?"

Elise stepped back, her hands behind her back, the hunting gaze gradually fading: "You're the one who led me down the path of wizardry."

"When I was a gladiator, my grandfather said that the person who led gladiators down the path of gladiators would also become the gladiator's goal."

Leo glanced at her and said, "I also need someone chasing after me to put pressure on me. Although I don't think that person will be you."

"Hmph, I hope you can withstand my pressure."

Seeing that Leo was completely unaffected by her words, Elise felt somewhat displeased and said, "However, our deal will proceed as originally planned. When I become a rising star, you will return the portion of my grandfather's remains that you took from me."

"no problem."

Leo nodded and said.

At the same time, I also felt a bit emotional.

Elise's change today reminded Leo of someone.

It's Chris.

The two share a similar naive personality.

However, the difference in their talents is like heaven and earth.

This also led to different outcomes for the two people.

Leo couldn't help but think that if Chris had the same talent as Elise, perhaps he too would have awakened ambitions similar to Elise's, and gone further and further down the path of wizardry.

Sometimes ambition is simply a matter of matching one's own abilities.

When you are capable enough, it is easier for you to develop your own ambitions.

After they finished talking, the two returned to their supervisor's office.

Tesla turned its attention to them.

Elise flashed her teeth and said, "Tesla, once I get the Nova title, I'll immediately become a third-class wizard apprentice."

Tesla smiled upon hearing this: "Very good, Elise. You have great talent, and if you don't waste it, you will definitely become an excellent wizard."

"Elise, give this to Leo," Tesla said, pointing to a letter on the table.

Elise picked up the letter and handed it to Leo.

Tesla said, "Leo, this is a special invitation to the exchange meeting. Of course, it's just a seat to watch the Rising Stars title final; it's nothing of great value."

Leo nodded and accepted the letter.

Sally said, "Alright, now that we've finished talking about Elise, it's my turn."
