This wizard only wishes to be a teacher
He had crossed into the dark, ruthless Wizard World.
Lucien found his system somewhat different from the usual golden finger.
System upgrade points? Chip activation?
None of these, but rather becoming a role model, transforming into a nurturing breeze:
Teaching students knowledge, receiving advanced knowledge in return.
Caring for and maintaining students, earning generous rewards.
[Your student has mastered the Magic Potion "Kuru's Cough," congratulations on acquiring the improved formula "Kuru's Cough - Enhanced"!]
[Your student has mastered witchcraft "Fireball," congratulations on learning witchcraft "Greater Fireball"!]
[Your student has successfully crafted the wizard's tool "Pale Mask," congratulations on acquiring the wizard tool’s manual "Revised Pale Mask"!]
Initially, Lucien was resistant.
But after experiencing what it was like to teach disciples and outdo them, Lucien felt he had completely transformed into the form of the master system.
This thing, isn't it much more useful than something called Cheating Device?
So far from what I've read it's a very good book and though it may not be to original or anything but at least in my opinion it's a good book which im interested in seeing more of.
*unfinished novel* i quite liked the start and the concept was fun, although not original. the world building reminded me of Age of Adepts though the MC was kinder and it seemed decent people did exist. however the story has been dropped by the author around chapter 300
It's actually quite similar to the serious bloody sorcerer novels from the past, just that the MC isn't a lone wolf, but grows through cultivating apprentices. He can bind an apprentice to a slot permanently and once the apprentice learns something new e.g. a spell, he can obtain a modified, better version of it. If the apprentice is in proximity, both get a buff. Etc. And although he has few slots to assign apprentices, he doesn't only cultivate the apprentices in the slots and ignore others. His life goal is apparently to make the sorcerer world a better place, which also means a better place for these cannon fodder apprentices whose death he thinks is often meaningless, apprentices who are exploited, cheated, treated as toys by cruel, stronger wizards.
The beginning is promising. For good or bad, It’s setting is very similar to a certain famous webnovels. However there are signs that the author doesn’t know where he’s going with this story and the main theme of teaching students and his ability to get stronger through his cheat are often sidelined later on. So in the end I think this is a disappointing story full of wasted potential. I did enjoy the beginning though.
Great story that is focused on a similar disciple learning that even allows multiplication of rewards as long as the disciple is able to learn it. Overall a great book and well worth the read if you enjoy disciple teaching stories or magus world type stories.
