The Wolf School Rises!

"Thump~ thump~ thump~"

Seeing that Ailin was a little uncomfortable under everyone's gaze, the chief tapped the table to divert everyone's attention.

"The potion is called the Drowner Heart Essence Fluid."

"It is meant to improve strength and physical fitness, but it stops working for us after two cups."

The Witcher Master nodded.

Although I felt a little disappointed, I knew that any potion that could improve physical fitness must have limitations.

It's truly remarkable that a mere, extremely low-grade water ghost heart could be refined into such an effective potion.

Normally, after killing a water ghost, you will only get the Drowner Tongue and Drowner Brain.

The hearts of water ghosts are discarded like garbage.

Thinking of this, the masters looked at Ailin with admiration, as if he were looking at some rare treasure.

The chief paused for a moment, then continued:

"More importantly, the Essence Fluid is mild and non-toxic, making it suitable for ordinary people to use."

After the chief finished speaking, the long table fell silent.

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

What do you mean?

White paused for a moment, then reacted quickly, turning sharply to look at the chief.

A hint of joy flashed in the chief's eyes. Without keeping him in suspense, he said directly:

"The Essence Fluid can also be used on apprentices before the Trial of Grasses, and the effect is very good."

The Sorceress added from the corner:

"Originally, there were thirty apprentices scheduled for next year's Trial of Grasses, but ten of them took the Essence Fluid and started the trial seven days earlier..."

Everyone at the long black table, including Ailin, straightened up and listened intently.

"Seven have passed the Trial of Grasses..."

Has the pass rate increased by 20 percent?

The effect is so good?

The Witcher Master were somewhat incredulous.

"The remaining three apprentices also survived. After training for a while longer, they can complete the remaining trials."

Everyone was completely unable to sit still.

"What!" Vesemir jumped to his feet, asking incoherently:

"This... does this mean the Trial of Grasses can no longer kill any apprentices?"

"At least for the first time, none of these ten people died." After a pause, she added:

"The Drowner Heart Essence Fluid seems to be particularly compatible with the physique of you witchers."

"It can even enhance the absorption of 'mushroom soup' by the Witcher's mutated body after the Trial of Grasses."

"The 'mushroom soup' that takes half a day to digest is digested almost instantly after drinking a small amount of its Essence Fluid."

"This remains true even after the effects of increasing strength and physique wear off."

Upon hearing this, Vesemir felt that the effect was somewhat familiar, and his gaze toward Ailin became increasingly wistful.

He must have come up with this potion because of the suffering Huus and the others endured during those ten days.

"As expected of my apprentice, a demon hunter born to walk the path of glory," Vesemir thought to himself.

"Not a single person died!" Ailin was also very excited.

Although he knew the Essence Fluid might be effective for the Trial of Grasses, the fact that the mortality rate dropped to zero was still a huge surprise.

Not only because of the increased success rate, but also because his Witcher Company can be formed quickly.

More importantly,

No more child ghosts will wander in the skies above the Ancient Sea Fortress!

"Thump~ thump~ thump~"

The tapping of the wooden table once again brought everyone's excited mood back to the meeting.

"A few days ago, I talked to you about something. Do you remember?" The chief suddenly changed the subject.

Apart from Ailin, who seemed somewhat bewildered, the other Witcher Master glanced at Ailin and then nodded solemnly.

"Then."

"Some of you agree, some disagree, some are skeptical, and of course, some don't care..."

"I said back then that I would give you an explanation!"

"Now, what do you think of this explanation?"

The leader's gaze lingered on the faces of each member of the Witcher Master before moving on.

Under that gaze, everyone looked at Ailin carefully before nodding in agreement.

at last,

The chief's gaze fell upon Ailin's thoughtful face at the end of the long table, and he solemnly said:

"Ailin, from this day forward, you are the first commander of the School of the Wolf Witcher Company!"

As expected... Ailin's mind raced, and he solemnly accepted the position.

"Aristo!"

"Chief, I'm here!" Aristo called out.

"You are the vice-commander of the School of Witcher Company!"

"Yes, Chief!" Aristo replied earnestly.

The chief nodded in agreement and continued with the arrangements in a firm and resolute manner:

"The Witcher Company will gradually take over the defense of the Ancient Sea Fortress."

"The Witcher Master also serves as the Elder Council of the Witcher Company, but is not responsible for specific affairs."

"Huus, Bont, and Fred are the first members of the Witcher Company, while the seven apprentices who have just passed the Trial of Grasses are in reserve."

After a pause, the chief seemed to remember something and asked:

"Ailin, have you thought of a name for the Witcher Company?"

"When the lone wolf dies, the pack lives!" Without hesitation or modesty, Ailin rose from his seat and solemnly declared, "The name of the Witcher Company is— The Pact of the Wolves!"

A lone wolf dies, but a pack of wolves survives?

After a moment's thought, the masters' eyes lit up.

To become Witcher Master.

Superior swordsmanship and mastery of magic seals are secondary; what truly matters is one's intellect.

Hunt large monsters.

Only by thoroughly understanding the habits of monsters, carefully uncovering their weaknesses, preparing for battle based on these weaknesses, and finally making a decisive move and adapting to changing circumstances can one succeed.

Combat only accounts for half of the picture; everything else requires careful consideration.

therefore.

None of those who become Witcher Master are fools; they all saw the perilous state of the school.

They were simply bound by inertia and the traditions of the School of the Wolf, subconsciously ignoring what they considered to be the normal state of laxity, which is why they couldn't find the core of the problem and a solution.

Ailin's Witcher Company motto hits the nail on the head, making everyone suddenly realize the truth.

"A good meaning!"

Before the chief could even acknowledge the "Pact of the Wolves," Aristo excitedly stood up and loudly praised it.

"Ailin, you don't look like a thirteen-year-old witcher who has just passed the trial!"

"Aristo, are you out of your mind?!"

"What kind of normal witcher spends all day creating potion recipes and signs?"

Dante immediately mocked, and then stood up along with the other witchers.

He looked at the energetic, newly minted witcher sitting at the end of the long table and thought:

"Swordsmanship, potions, signs, scheming... Perhaps only a genius like this can shoulder the future of the School of the Wolf."

Ailin accepted everyone's congratulations and expressed his gratitude repeatedly before the intense atmosphere in the secret room gradually dissipated.

"Thump~ thump~"

Seeing that everyone had sat down, the chief tapped the table again.

"Since everyone agrees, the Witcher Company shall be named the Pact of the Wolves!"

Seeing that the Witcher Master all nodded in agreement, none of them had any objections.

Then.

The chief then recounted how Ailin had selflessly contributed the potion formula and spells, further enhancing Ailin's standing among the masters, before concluding the meeting.

Unexpectedly, White, the second seat of the Masters Group, suddenly spoke up and asked:

"Chief."

"Now that some apprentices have already passed the Trial of Grasses, what should we do about the Cyclops Trial of the Mountains that's missing?"
