Chapter 79: The So-Called Genius, Just an Empty Title!

"Lynn, I always thought that those so-called magical prodigies were nothing special, at most just working harder and having better opportunities, until today when I truly understood how absurd that notion is!" Kevin gazed at Lynn with a deeply complex look. He originally wanted to witness the incredible Everlasting Flame mentioned by Loude, but Lynn unexpectedly revealed another powerful and novel magic in an instant.

Philip, Tike, and the others also wore expressions of amazement. With their talents, the possibility of advancing their ranks was slim, while Lynn, on the other hand, was only a matter of time away from becoming a Grand Wizard or even a legendary wizard.

"Thank you for your praise, Professor Kevin!" Lynn nodded in acknowledgment and continued, "However, there is a point you may have misunderstood. My magical talent is far from comparable to those true geniuses, let alone the Master of the Magical World, Ogest the Great."

"Many of the improved magics are based on the theories of scholars within 'The Society of Mystical Arts.' As for the faster progression in wizard ranks, it's just a matter of having more exposure to arcane studies than the rest of you."

"I also have no confidence in reaching the Grand Wizard level within four years." Lynn shook his head as he replied.

Looking at Herlram, whose beard had turned white and had barely become a five-ring wizard, it was evident how exceptionally gifted Ogest was to break through this realm at the age of twenty-four.

Lynn wasn't going to let a few compliments get to his head. The title of the greatest wizard prodigy was just an empty one!

Boasting about this title was too arrogant, especially when he didn't possess the matching abilities. Who knows, he might be exposed one day...

Lynn's "humility" left the students and professors at a loss for words. If Lynn didn't qualify as a genius, did that mean they were all worthless?

Rol also realized that Lynn's words were likely genuine and not meant as mockery. He had never encountered someone so humble.

As for the lost battle, Rol didn't mind it. After all, the opponent was a three-ring wizard, and losing under such circumstances was normal.

This robe, not only a symbol of status but also a magical item, provided slight magical resistance and a daily self-cleaning spell.

Lynn reached out and took it. He examined the somewhat flamboyant robe and the badge and thought the professor's uniform and medal awarded by Iyeta Academy were much more appealing, primarily because they felt less pretentious.

Tike handed both items to Lynn and then produced a lengthy parchment scroll to recite the rules and regulations of the Wizard's Land.

Aside from the basic standards already established in the Sekas Empire, the most prominent focus was on the penalties for wizards harming civilians. It detailed the consequences of each violation.

For example, if a formal wizard unjustly harmed a non-magic user or caused the death of a civilian due to forbidden magical experiments, they would face at least several years of forced labor or imprisonment. In severe cases, they could even be stripped of their wizard status, leading to a death sentence.

However, harming a formal wizard had even more severe consequences. They could be sent to a magical stone mine to labor for life, receive a life sentence, or face immediate execution.

"I have to ask, are you a psychic wizard, Professor Lynn?" After reciting the first hundred rules, Tike looked at Lynn and inquired.

"No, I'm not," Lynn shook his head. He hadn't yet delved into the so-called psychic magic.

"In that case, we need not discuss the regulations for psychic magic. Just remember that the Wizard Council forbids private research into psychic magic. If you're genuinely interested, you can attend formal training at the Psychic Academy in Greenryell," Tike reminded seriously.

Lynn was somewhat surprised. Although he had learned about the caution surrounding psychic magic from Phillip before, he hadn't expected there to be specific legal provisions, even regarding the mere usage of it.
