Just as she was about to open it…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She froze the next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she had just looked up at the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, sitting on the windowsill where he should have been in the hallway outside, was the boy, still holding that female doll, staring straight at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—————–\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Sword Bearers Branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Rein walked along, he quickly did some mental calculations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I invest skill points in the new witchcraft ‘Metal Barrier,’ leveling it directly to level 2, based on previous reference, it should reduce the casting time by about 20%, from 3 seconds to 2.4 seconds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But 2.4 seconds is still too slow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adding 2 skill points to reach level 3 would further reduce it to 1.9 seconds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And adding 3 points would make it level 4, which would bring the casting time down to roughly 1.5 seconds…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adding all 5 skill points would elevate it to level 6… uh, a 1-second casting time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It can still be optimized.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That would mean, by practicing first to elevate ‘Metal Barrier’ to level 2, then adding 5 skill points, it becomes level 7, meaning only 0.8 seconds casting time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein raised an eyebrow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such casting time would basically have decent practicality, especially since it broke the 1-second mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would take a regular wizard or wizard apprentice, perhaps six or seven years of hard practice, doing syllable compression exercises and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it would be best to reduce it even further, making it a bit shorter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But that would require at least another 5 skill points!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein glanced at the system panel’s combat professions. Both the Warhammer Wizard (Legendary) and the Weapon Master (Legendary) were hard to level up quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems, at that point, only by seeking a professional job change can I quickly gain skill points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Inscription?” Two words flashed in Rein’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After discussing inscriptions with Cleya, he had decided to find an Inscription Master as soon as possible to begin basic learning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Inscription likely relates to the subsequent job change of an armorer…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pondered, Rein quickly arrived at the training hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered clearly, the rather proactive reception girl had made it clear that there was a witchcraft testing room on the third floor, whereas the second floor’s testing room he had previously visited mainly tested Extraordinary Battle Techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Rein reached the third floor, in front of a door with the words ‘Witchcraft Power Testing Room’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door was open, inside was a space like an indoor training room, about four to five hundred square meters in size, but with fewer people than the defensive power testing room on the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made sense, as since Rein joined the Sword Bearers assessment, the number of mere wizard apprentices only made up less than one-tenth of the total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even considering those who dual-trained in knight paths, the total was estimated not to exceed one-fifth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relatively speaking, within the Dragan Empire, individuals qualified as wizards were much rarer than those with decent knight talents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why, then, were there so many wizard apprentices and wizards in the Sword Bearers or certain special departments?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was because the Empire had concentrated these qualified individuals through multiple selections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as in Rein’s previous life’s research institutions, there were basically none below masters, the same logic applied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, seven or eight sword bearers clad in various-colored wizard robes were testing, and seeing the young-looking Rein at the door, they couldn’t help but turn to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Rein merely scanned the room once, then walked back out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t very keen on exposing his superior-level metal element affinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously in the testing room, he had seen the standards posted on the wall—over 90 was considered superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An affinity almost unheard of in the biggest categories of fire and water elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention in the much smaller category of metal elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the witchcraft power testing was likely to expose a tester’s qualification since, given the same witchcraft and similar spiritual power, a large difference in power would indicate a difference in qualifications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein went to the information desk and inquired, “Excuse me, does this witchcraft power testing room have private chambers?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, sir, but there’s an extra energy consumption fee involved. Is that okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s fine.” Rein nodded, although he wasn’t sure what the energy consumption fee was; he believed he could definitely afford it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Rein handed over his crystal badge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young female clerk looked at it, her mouth opened slightly in surprise, and she immediately took it respectfully, saying, “Sir, please follow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Rein followed the clerk to a room located on the third-floor corridor on the left side, near the very end. The girl said, “Sir, this is it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the young girl opened the door, Rein saw the room was about a hundred square meters, equipped with several uniquely shaped devices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From left to right, there were two devices resembling multi-barreled Gatling guns, while in the center was something like a tennis ball launcher from his previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The device on the far right was similar to the attack power tester on the second floor, except its surface was painted bright silver.\u003C\u002Fp>",930,"2026-06-05T17:04:17.943Z",1,"novelbin.me","686ca6dbc3744314fa59c05de04daab2c593dc1a1c94e09c763248fc68d7ea23","wizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-chapter-765","wizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-chapter-763",1660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-cover.jpg"]
