Chronicles of the True Wizard

Two days of training later Felix was rudely interrupted by a message from The System.

Tutorial Announcement

Tutorial Grace Period Ending.

In one hour the level of the beasts in the tutorial will begin to grow. They will become more aggressive and increase in level as they fight and gain experience for themselves throughout the rest of the tutorial. You have been given 10 days to get situated, don't get too comfortable though, or else your level will fall behind the beasts.

Oh goody, more deadly enemies… I guess I wouldn't want them to all stay low level though, then what would I fight? Not like I am doing any fighting now, but I will need to go gain experience soon.

Felix was about to go right back to training when he decided enough was enough.

I really gotta go gain some experience. I am sitting here casting spells at targets day in day out but I feel like without any combat experience I am gonna end up weak in some aspect I never thought of.

Felix headed out of the town and into the plains. It took almost an hour to get to where he wanted. Close enough to a boar so he could fight them while far enough from others so he wasn't fighting multiple at once. Also, far enough so that if they when berserk in a few minutes when The System removes the grace period, he should be able to get out.

Felix waited a few minutes, then a few more. Nothing perceptible happened. Felix decided to just start fighting and see what happened. He fired a Mana Bolt at one of them about a hundred meters away. He missed. The boar didn't even notice. Frowning, Felix carefully skulked closer until he was only fifty meters away then fired another Mana Bolt and began preparing a Fire Bolt as fast as he could.

This time the spell hit, and the boar definitely noticed. The boar raised its front legs into the air and squealed a battle cry. Luckily none of the other boars seemed to care. The raging boar turned to face Felix and began charging. Felix managed to hit it right in the snout with the Fire Bolt he was preparing then dove to the side to dodge the incoming charge.

Felix quickly stood up and began preparing another Fire Bolt. He figured the extra mana that went into it hopefully meant more damage. He had to dodge another charge before firing again. After the second charge, the boar decided to change tactics and tried to gore Felix with it's horns. Felix dodged back and fired his finished Fire Bolt right into it's face.

The boar, clearly very upset by this, then tried to jump onto Felix who barely managed to dive to the side. Felix rolled away then to pulled himself up as fast as he could and pushed mana into another Fire Bolt. At this point the boar seemed to have had enough as it tried to run away. Felix just barely managed to hit it in the rear, which was, thankfully, enough.

Ding You have slain [E - Common] Boar (Lvl 6)

Ding You have gained a level in [E - Common] Caster

Free points into Perception. That should help my aim, hopefully.

Felix stowed the body of the boar in his inventory and filled his mana pool using a battery. He found another boar and hit it with a Fire Bolt.

After a handful of boar slain, the fights had started to get too easy. Now that he knew they would either charge, gore or jump he could easily predict their intentions based on body language and simply avoid them. He managed to finish off 5 boars with the highest being Lvl 9, one at six, two at eight and one at seven.

Felix also willed the notifications to be more compact so he didn't have to scroll through so much useless information.

Ding You have slain 5 [E - Common] Boar (Lvl 6-9)

Ding You have gained 4 levels in [E - Common] Caster

Five points in vitality and seven in endurance.

The biggest limiting factor for Felix at when he fought the boars was endurance. He had to stop for an hour to meditate before the could finish off the last boar. After besting 5 of them, the limiting factor was their levels. They were simply too low or too stupid to be worth it. If he had an area attack he could group them up but as it stood he doesn't even know where to begin looking for one.
