After Natalie finished treating her wound, she asked Daniel to step aside for a moment. A beam of light shot out from the Apprentice Badge, forming a Magic Array in front of them, and a middle-aged Wizard Apprentice stepped out from within.
Before the person even emerged, his voice had already reached them. "Hahaha, little sister, how did you think of me? Don't worry, I'll definitely help you get revenge."
Daniel took the opportunity to take a look and was astonished. The newcomer stood at an impressive height of two meters, with a bald head and an incredibly muscular build. He was even stronger than Nathan Jones.
Nathan Jones was a super strongman in his past life, a world wrestling champion and a world powerlifting champion. He was immensely powerful and exceptionally fierce.
He was nicknamed the Australian Half-Orc.
If you don't recognize him, you can watch "Huo Yuanjia," where he played a Russian strongman. In a crowd, he towered over everyone by half a head. Comparing him to Huo Yuanjia was like comparing a chicken to a fierce tiger.
Nathan Jones had also played a warrior in "Troy." With a shout from the king, the neatly arranged soldiers were pushed aside by Nathan Jones as if they were chickens. His towering physique made people tremble with fear; he truly resembled a god of war.
However, the outcome wasn't very good for him as he was quickly defeated by Brad Pitt.
If this new person were to act, it would surely be even more terrifying.
He was stronger and taller than Nathan Jones. Just making eye contact with him would make even the most confident person feel intimidated. He was incredibly strong, truly resembling a human Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Once he emerged, he didn't even glance at Daniel but rushed to Natalie's side, asking with concern, "How did you get hurt like this? Let me help you get revenge."
Natalie stood up wearing her clothes. She wanted to pat his shoulder but couldn't reach it even on tiptoes. She could only reluctantly pat his chest and said, "Thank you so much, big brother. If I didn't know you, I really wouldn't know what to do."
He smiled proudly and glanced at Daniel. "So this is your troublemaker? How dare he provoke five Third-Level Apprentices? I really don't understand how he managed to escape."
Daniel rubbed his nose, unsure how to respond. In some sense, he really could be considered a troublemaker. Who else could provoke five Third-Level Apprentices shortly after entering the Underworld? Not to mention Lord Boris behind them; he was a true wizard.
Fortunately, the newcomer didn't seem intent on doing anything to him. He extended his right hand and said, "Alright, troublemaker, my name is Reirfu. With such weakness, I really don't know how you became a Wizard Seed."
Daniel felt almost unable to lift his head in response but couldn't argue back either; after all, his true strength was only that of a Second-Level Wizard Apprentice and hardly counted for much.
Natalie smiled and tried to ease the tension. "Alright now, big brother, don't pick on him. He didn't become a Wizard Seed based on combat strength like you did. With your top-tier dual-element affinity in Earth and Gold, your strength can multiply just by standing on solid ground. By the way, did you bring what I asked you to?"
"Here it is, here it is. I brought all the materials you asked for, and I even brought a crucible and a glass rod. I really don't know what you need these things for. From the looks of the materials, it seems like you're making potions, but with such rudimentary equipment, are you sure this will work?"
He threw down his backpack, revealing the contents inside. Daniel took one look and noticed that many of the materials were meant for making recovery potions. Hearing him say that, Daniel instantly understood Natalie's intentions. He felt a surge of emotion.
This was for his own good; in the Wizarding World, strength was paramount. Without strength, it was impossible to interact equally with higher apprentices.
Even though he had become a Wizard Seed, he still didn't know the other two Wizard Seeds in the academy.
For those who were considered the favored children of the academy, the number was so small that even among over forty thousand apprentices at Flame Throne Wizard Academy, there were only three spots available. Clearly, this was abnormal.
The reason was quite simple: his strength was too weak. The other two believed there was no need to even meet him and could simply ignore him. So they completely disregarded Daniel.
Although it was frustrating, it was also a fact.
Now Reirfu spoke to him without any politeness, completely unlike a relationship between an employee and an employer, and this was the reason why.
Who would respect an ant that could be crushed with a single finger? It was absurd.
With insufficient strength, he could only compensate in other areas. Natalie had seen his Pharmacology skills; they were nothing short of miraculous and astonishing, almost unbelievable.
And Pharmacology was also part of strength. Where did those wondrous healing potions and recovery potions come from?
They were all made by Pharmacists. Especially those miraculous potions that could fully revive someone as long as they had breath left in them—who wouldn't want those? Therefore, knowing a skilled Pharmacist was very necessary.
If he could demonstrate his abilities, Reirfu would surely look at him differently.
So Daniel felt deeply moved; he never expected Natalie would think of him like this. However, Natalie's next words shattered Daniel's fantasy and left him speechless.
"I can't do it; Daniel can. His potion-making skills are decent; let him give it a try. Anyway, this junk equipment won't cost more than a Magic Stone. If it doesn't work out, we can just buy ready-made ones."
Come on! He was seriously injured and there were pursuers behind them. You can't even spare a Magic Stone for healing? Truly greedy to the extreme! What good is having so many Magic Stones?
Daniel felt a sense of despair; how did he end up with such an extremely money-minded Senior Sister?
Without even looking, he directly took the package and began the process. Below, he placed an alcohol lamp, above it was a crucible, and then added a glass rod; that was all the equipment.
It was not just simple; it looked like something picked from a garbage heap, yet some people believed in it. It was only because Daniel's pharmacology skills were so high that he was no longer bound by formality. The simplicity of the instruments was not a problem for him.
Daniel quickly produced several bottles of potions, and Reirfu almost widened his eyes in disbelief. With such minimal equipment, to create a potion known for its extreme precision and zero margin for error was something that ordinary people could not achieve.
At first, when Natalie told him about it, he didn't believe her at all. It was only after Natalie repeatedly assured him that he reluctantly gave it a try. Who would have thought it would actually succeed?
This made Reirfu's perception of Daniel change; such miraculous pharmacology skills were truly extraordinary and unlike anything he had ever seen. It seemed necessary to build a good relationship with him, as this would ensure he had access to the potions he needed in the future.
Feigning satisfaction, he nodded and said, "The quality of the potions is indeed good. Hurry up and refine them to hand over to Natalie. Once you’ve healed from your injuries, I will take you to seek revenge. Don’t worry; as long as I’m involved, those five fools will definitely not be a match."
Seeing him patting his chest in assurance made Daniel feel somewhat uneasy. He wondered if it would really work; after all, he had witnessed the combined attack capabilities of the other five. Even with Natalie’s strength and her well-equipped magical weaponry, they had only managed to escape in a sorry state. Even with his help, it might not be enough.
Unable to resist, he quietly gathered information about Reirfu to check his attributes.
However, when the information was collected and he looked at the series of impressive numbers, Daniel almost dropped his jaw in shock.
Reirfu, Third-Level Wizard Apprentice: Strength: 77, Agility: 6, Constitution: 8, Mental Power: 9
Below that was a line of blood-red warning (Warning! Warning! This person is extremely terrifying and should not be antagonized. Please treat with caution.)
Mental Power 9 was even higher than Natalie’s. This was an absolutely astonishing number. Although theoretically a Third-Level Wizard Apprentice could reach a Mental Power of 100, that was merely theoretical and very difficult to achieve in practice.
Many Wizard Apprentices resorted to using Green Water or similar potions after reaching a Mental Power of 80 due to hopeless progress, forcibly enhancing their Mental Power to advance to wizard status.
Those who could still increase their Mental Power beyond 80 without using Green Water were apprentices with room for improvement; they aimed to accumulate sufficient foundation for greater potential upon advancement.
Such individuals were extremely rare. Although Daniel had encountered three at once—Brook, Natalie, and Reirfu—each of them was exceptional.
Brook was a candidate for Wizard Seed; had it not been for Daniel's interference, he would have undoubtedly become one. As for Natalie and Reirfu, they were true Wizard Seeds, with Reirfu having been one for over ten years.
Each one was among the best of the best; how could they represent the average level of apprentices?
However, after reaching 80 in Mental Power, it becomes quite difficult to improve further; each point gained is a significant challenge, almost like taking one step at a time.
Once it reaches 90, the difficulty increases even more, making it extremely hard to advance. Many have exerted their utmost effort and spent decades without gaining even a single point.
But the effects are evident: after reaching 80 points in Mental Power, each additional point can enhance the power of spells by a percentage, and after 90 points, it can increase by 5%, which is a substantial improvement. With just Mental Power alone, one can easily overpower others of the same level.
Those who can achieve 90 in Mental Power are certainly not ordinary individuals. Especially not someone like this seasoned Wizard Seed.
The academy's favored child—this nickname is not given lightly; the academy truly treats him like their own. The benefits he receives make even Formal Wizards envious, wishing they could take his place.
Just being able to purchase items at a third of the price saves him countless Magic Stones.
Therefore, these seasoned Wizard Seeds already have a well-equipped set of Magical Items, allowing them to easily crush three or four opponents of the same level without issue.
Take Arnold, for example; as a Third-Level Apprentice, he only possesses two Magical Items. As for synergy, that's hardly applicable; having what he does is already fortunate enough—any other desires are out of reach.
With Natalie’s assistance, dealing with Daniel and his group is quite easy, even though they appear formidable themselves; the outcome remains unchanged.
