Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 7 The Test of Entrance

Chapter 7 The Test of Entrance
After a night of talking and drinking, except for Wayne who didn't drink, the other witchers were all drunk.

There was no way, he could only move these drunks back to their rooms one by one like a sack.

According to past memories, Kaer Morhen is the hometown of the wolf school. The four demon hunters of the wolf school, Vesemir, Geralt, Lambert, and Eskel, if they are not delayed by other things, they will rush back here almost every winter before the mountains are covered by heavy snow.

In addition to them, there was a demon hunter named Berengar, who occasionally came back here to recuperate. He was a relatively silent man, and apart from Vesemir, his relationship with the other three was not that warm.

All these years of training, Wayne only saw him one winter.

Having played the Witcher series of games, he knew that this witcher would eventually be caught by a group of Vizima gangsters and wild warlocks. Not only was he forced to reveal the location of Kaer Morhen, he was also forced to reveal the secret of the Grass Trial, which eventually triggered a series of events.

But these things haven't happened yet, and have nothing to do with Wayne now.

Throughout the winter, with the company of four master witchers, his training became even harder, especially in terms of swordsmanship. Four masters of swordsmanship with different styles fought against him, or fought against each other, allowing him to gain more and more experience in actual combat.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long for heavy snow to block the road between Kaer Morhen and the outside world. Affected by the cold weather, whether it was fishing or growing vegetables, the harvest was far worse than in the past.

This made Wayne lose a lot of fun, but fortunately, he had a few more companions. In his spare time, he would take the delicacies he had made to find these senior demon hunters, and listen to them talk about the monsters and tasks they encountered in their past experiences.

It also taught him a lot of customs and interesting stories that he couldn't learn from books.

Time passed quickly, Kaer Morhen's winter lasted for about three months, and when the ice and snow melted in the second year, Geralt, Lambert, and Eskel all left the castle again.

The money of the demon hunters does not come from the wind. In order to survive and fill their stomachs, they have to travel around the world to perform the task of hunting monsters.

And in the next year, perhaps because of some recognition of Wayne's strength, Vesemir no longer accompanied him every day to help him train. Instead, after setting up training tasks, he found time to go down the mountain to find a job and earn money.

He had to bear all the expenses of training Wayne. Although the old witcher had some savings, the money was always spent less and less, and the cost of training a witcher was also quite a lot.

The days of training in Kaer Morhen always passed very quickly. Wayne didn't slack off. He exercised his abilities day after day, and he almost studied all the books about monsters in the castle.

And during this year, his demon hunter level successfully reached level five, and his sword skill level and magic seal level even reached level five and level eight.

Not only that, but he also obtained the special professional specialty of being able to use the ability point awakening when he obtained a fifth-level skill.

Swordsmanship Specialty: Sensitivity of cats, able to gain cat-like agility and intuition for danger, effect: weapon attack speed increased by 25%, intuition +3.

Sign specialties: Powerful spellcasting, which can consume more mana through short-term energy storage, and cast more powerful signs.

Combat profession bonuses and two professional specialties have greatly improved his combat ability, far exceeding the standards that ordinary demon hunter apprentices can achieve.

When the mountains were covered by heavy snow this winter, and the wolf school demon hunters gathered in Kaer Morhen, the 16-year-old Wayne finally couldn't bear the loneliness and asked his mentor, Vesemir, to become a teacher.

"Mr. Vesemir, after the spring of next year, I hope to officially descend from the mountain and become a real demon hunter."

Hearing Wayne's request, Geralt, Lambert, and Eskel who were present all had different expressions.

Before the old witcher could speak, Lambert said mockingly:
"Little guy, don't be so self-righteous. Although you have a good talent, you have only learned swordsmanship for a few years, and you want to become a teacher."

"I don't want to go to the monster's lair to collect your corpse someday in the future."

Escal took a sip of beer, and followed suit:

"Although what Lambert said is not pleasant, I agree with him."

"Wayne, you are still young, don't worry."

"We have seen many fledgling young demon hunters. They did not die at the hands of monsters, but died of various accidents at the hands of those mobs."

"You still have a lot to learn, and you need to accumulate a few more years."

"We demon hunters have a very long lifespan, and you have plenty of time to grow up."

Geralt did not speak, he looked at Wayne with curious eyes, wondering why his brother from the same school was so eager to become a teacher.

The old demon hunter Vesemir's expression was very serious. He stared into Wayne's eyes for dozens of seconds before asking:
"Why, child, I have always taught you that as a witcher, the most important thing is patience and caution."

"You're still in the learning and growing phase, and you shouldn't be in a rush."

"Tell me, what is your reason for doing this?"

Wayne showed a serious and sincere smile to everyone, and said to his mentor:

"Teacher, I have memorized all the books in the castle, and I am quite proficient in using the wolf school's swordsmanship."

"I think it is difficult for me to continue to improve by staying in the castle and practicing."

He looked at the wrinkled face of the old witcher, and said softly:

"You once said that practice is the best teacher."

"In order to let you feel at ease and let me become a teacher, I decided to use all my strength to challenge several seniors of the Wolf School."

"I hope you can make a decision after seeing my strength."

Hearing this, Vesemir took a deep look at his apprentice. He is not an arbitrary person. Since Wayne made such a strong request, he thought about it for a while, and then said with a sigh:
"Since you asked, child."

"Then wait until tomorrow morning, on the training ground of the castle, and let us see how confident you are."

Lambert laughed, and immediately said:

"Boy, you are a beating who lacks reality."

"Let me be the first to fight against you tomorrow. I will teach you well. You can't be too proud and complacent."

"I won't be merciful, you just wait to be beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face."

Wayne didn't care about Lambert's provocation. This buddy is a born venomous tongue, a natural barbarian, and a true-tempered demon hunter.

He nodded to Lambert with a smile and said:
"Then you have to be careful, Lambert, I will do my best."
