Chapter 486: Chapter 4 Limited Wish Technique

Standing alongside many students, Anvis, like his classmates, listened to the Mentor’s explanation, appearing inconspicuous.

The advanced courses taught usually involve Magic knowledge from Fourth Rank to below Seventh Rank, and those who attend are also students above Fourth Rank.

However, since the number of students in the Mysterious System has always been few, more often, students from other Schools come to audit the classes.

Moreover, very few people audit other Mysterious System courses, with the exception of the Wish Technique class.

“…However, since I used the word ‘most’, it implies that there are still a few Wish Magics that truly have miraculous effects.

And these magics also share one thing in common, that is ‘an exchange of a price’.

The true key to Wish Magic lies in the price of making a wish come true. Making a wish is not without a cost; on the contrary, the bigger the impact of your wish, the higher the cost will be.

A classic example is the Secret Technique created by Lord Boerziman Fenirz of Star’s Wish when he advanced to Seventh Rank—the Limited Wish Technique.”

As she spoke, the silver-haired female Mentor opened a thick book with a black cover in her hands, her pale fingers gently sliding over the yellowed pages, eventually stopping on a certain line.

Following her thoughts, the text on the page began to glow, and a faint blue halo spread out from the book, activating the Ritual Array on the floor.

At the same time, the flames of the six mermaid wax candles around the array suddenly changed from deep blue to light blue. In the Crystal Ball at the center of the array, a special kind of magic reaction gradually began to accumulate.

Watching the many students around her intently observing the details of the Array, Nancy nodded slightly.

“There are about six minutes left until the ceremony is complete. Afterwards, once the Wish Magic is fully formed within the Crystal Ball, everyone can try to make any wish they desire.

If you have any questions, you can ask them now.”

“Mentor, is there any limit to the scope of this wish? If the wish fails, can we change it for another one?”

Upon receiving affirmation, a brown-haired male student immediately stood up to ask. However, from his question, it seems that it is his first time participating in such a wish-making ceremony.

“As a Seventh Rank Secret Magic Ceremony, if the wish made exceeds the scope of Seventh Rank, it will lead to the wish failing. Each person only has one chance to make a wish, successful or not, so please choose your wish carefully.”

Glancing at him, Nancy explained.

“Mentor Nancy, do you have any suggestions for our wishes?”

After the male student returned to the line, another girl with light purple curly hair raised her hand to ask.

“Choose a wish that is immediate or short-term rather than long-term effective. This way, the cost usually won’t be too unbearable.”

Organizing her language, Nancy tried to explain in a way that was easy for the many students to understand.

“Think about the credits you spent to audit, if you use these credits to exchange for other resources, what they can achieve, and make a wish that will not be at a loss.”

“Thank you for your answer.”

The girl bowed slightly and then also returned among the many students.

Getting this answer, many non-Mysterious System auditing students also began to weigh their options.

It’s known that non-Mysterious System students who want to audit the Wish Technique class need a terrifying amount of five hundred credits! One benefit of choosing the less popular Mysterious System School is the opportunity to audit the Wish Technique class for free once a year.

It is because of this chance to make a wish that they are willing to spend precious credits specifically to audit.

Suddenly, the six minutes passed slowly. In the Crystal Ball in the center of the Array, a faint golden light point finally appeared.

What’s peculiar is that in this light point formed by a large amount of magic power, there are no magic structures, as if it were a projection that doesn’t exist in this world.

“The ceremony has been successful, and as a demonstration, the Sealed Crystal Ball by my side will provide a barrier function.

When you make your wish, the Crystal Ball will display the cost required for the wish, and then you can decide for yourself whether to carry it out.”

After explaining the rules, Nancy fell silent again, leaving the students to whisper among themselves.

Staring at the massive Crystal Ball in the center of the Array, Anvis was inexplicably reminded of a miraculous Wish medium that once brought him to this world.

Since he was brought to this world through Wish Magic, he had systematically studied magic related to wishes.

For example, today’s Limited Wish Technique, according to records, was created by Boerziman Fenirz himself, but he never actually used it.

As for the reason, it seems that the effects of this Spell are somewhat tricky…

“Mentor, can I make a wish now?”

After a moment, as most of the students were still hesitant, it was the brown-haired boy who first stepped forward.

“Come here, stand in this star structure, and transmit your wish into the Crystal Ball with your spiritual power.”

The silver-haired female mentor nodded and indicated a seven-pointed star composed of fine inscriptions beside her.

Standing at the position indicated by the mentor, the boy looked at the Crystal Ball in front of him, pondered for a moment, then decided to be conservative.

“I wish to obtain fifty thousand Gold Coins immediately.”

“The price is that everything you do with these Gold Coins will result in outcomes you would not wish to see.”

Looking at the feedback emerging from her Magic Book, Nancy read it out. Simultaneously, the pale teal flame on a candle returned to a ghostly blue.

“Do you want to fulfill the wish?”

“…Fulfill it.”

Upon receiving this result, the boy hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

“Very well, next.”

With his confirmation, Nancy remotely tapped the Crystal Ball, and a pile of Gold Coins emerged out of thin air, floating in front of him.

Once he collected the Gold Coins and returned, another girl stepped forward.

“I wish my next magic experiment will be successfully completed.”

“As a price, your next important experiment will definitely fail.”

Retrieving the information from the Crystal Ball, Nancy looked at her.

“Never mind.”

Hearing this result, the girl immediately waved her hand.

“Very well, next.”

Under the guidance of mentor Nancy, one student after another made their wishes. However, ultimately, half of them chose not to fulfill their wishes.

Finally, it was Anvis’s turn to step forward to make a wish.

About his Identity, quite a few students had heard of it, and seeing him take the stage, they couldn’t help but hold their breath slightly, planning to listen to his wish.

“I want to know the current location of the person who took this Magic Image.”

After observing everyone else’s wishes earlier, Anvis also roughly understood how to use this Spell.

Conveniently, he needed to find someone, and since the wishes of the Limited Wish Technique did not exceed the Seventh Rank, he could also check the danger level of Claire’s area.

“The price is… you will be haunted by strange occurrences.”

Looking at him with some surprise, Nancy nodded.

“So, shall we fulfill it?”
