Thor picked up a pair of long black gloves that reached his elbows from the long table in the morgue.

The gloves are custom-made to fit the skin very closely, and they are so thin that there is no noticeable sense of separation when holding items.

Moreover, the material of the gloves is dirty and water-resistant, and it is not easy to ignite, which is worthy of the customized price.

Most crucially, it does not affect Thor's spellcasting.

It's just that it's a bit hard to wear it.

This kind of glove that fits perfectly is a hassle to wear.

Thor put it on his left hand first.

The inside of this pair of gloves is astringent and cannot be lifted smoothly.

At this moment, a slender black tentacle reached out from the back of Thor's neck, flexibly helping Thor pull the edge of the glove and help him put it on smoothly.

"Thanks, algae."

This strange-looking tentacle is part of the Soul Eater Swamp that Thor had inadvertently brought back from an abandoned laboratory beneath the Wizard's Tower Garden.

After several confirmations and inquiries about the information, Thor was basically sure that this little tentacle was not in much danger.

In particular, as long as this tentacle is pulled hard, it can be taken off the back of his neck with a "pop", and there is no wound.

Apparently it was not parasitic on him.

After helping Thor put on his gloves, Xiaozao obediently shrank back.

Thor named the tentacle Algae because it didn't want to be like the huge, terrifying and aggressive black tentacles in the mire, but rather resembled the core consciousness of the Soul Eater Swamp.

At the beginning, the core consciousness of the group was like a seaweed ball, so Thor directly simplified it to be called small algae.

Algae is sometimes silly, and sometimes clever. It has always followed Thor, and never shows up when there are outsiders.

Neither the mentor nor the senior found anything wrong, or found it but only used it as research material that Sol carried with him. No one disputes this.

The environment of the corpse is somewhat similar to the environment in which Xiaozao used to live, and Xiaozao has been by Thor for a few years, and has gained weight.

With gloves and a circle drawn on the bones, Thor finally didn't have to be careful about Mentor Monica's fugitive currents during class.

Thor had just put his things away when there was a regular knock on the door with a "clang".

Before Thor could pass, Klee's voice came from outside the door.

"Open the door, open the door, it's your birthday!" Klee's voice didn't fluctuate, it sounded like she was saying, "Open the door, open the door, check the water meter."

As soon as the door opened, Thor saw Klee standing outside with a square box.

"Happy Birthday!"

How familiar this box looked, Thor turned around, and saw the rows of small boxes placed on the counter.

Turning his head a little inexplicably, Thor reached out to take the box from Klee's hand and invited her in.

People in this world don't seem to have the habit of celebrating birthdays, at least not wizard apprentices.

After Saul accidentally learned of Klee's birth, he gave him an unnamed Reagent No. 1 that he had concocted from his diary.

In the process of exploring the transformation of witch bodies, Seoul has also made many kinds of nameless reagents, but most of them are useless and even harmful.

The purpose of this No. 1 reagent is to remove certain impurities from the metal and make the metal harder.

He thought that Klee, who majored in metal, might be useful, so he gave it to her as a gift.

Unexpectedly, this small gift touched Klee very much, she had never received a gift just to celebrate herself.

She asked about Thor's birthday, and began to celebrate him every year.

Thor's electric field resistance rune drawn on his hand bones was a gift from Klee last year.

Quite valuable.

"Is it worth the money?" Thor asked casually, placing it on the table and dismantling it.

"How can something I send not be worthwhile?" Cherry clasped her hands to her chest, expecting Thor to finish unpacking the present.

Thor finally opened the tightly wrapped box.

The box was stuffed with a piece of cotton cloth, which was lifted to reveal a thumb-sized blue fruit.

"This is ......" Thor felt familiar at first, but then finally remembered, "This is the fruit of the accompanying flower?" ”

"Yes." Kree nodded heavily.

"Or a fruit that increases mana?" Mana has always been a pain in Thor's heart.

Especially after reaching 45 joules, Thor's speed of increasing mana was stuck again.

And a blue fruit of the accompanying flower can help Thor increase his magic by at least 1 joule.

It's a pity that the cultivation of this fruit is uncertain, and it is not easy for their apprentices to obtain the accompanying flower.

The first companion flower Thor got was in contact with the blue fruit.

Later, he also got two companion flowers through work and exchange.

It's a pity that white fruit has never been cultivated.

"These two birthday gifts you gave me were too timely, it looks like I'm going to prepare a better gift next time."

Cherry nodded "mmmmmmmm

"If you have a way, give me some toxins with a special toxicity."

"What do you want toxins for? Aren't you a metallic major? "Thor first heard that Keree needed poison.

"After all, my mentor is a major in poison attributes, and many of the topics and objects he studies are related to toxin reactions." Klee shrugged her shoulders.

It seems that after becoming a second-level apprentice, you are qualified to do some research projects with your mentor.

In addition to going to Mentor Rum and Senior Nick from time to time to cooperate with some experiments that are not difficult, Saul usually only works in the morgue.

Of course, he was also envied by other apprentices.

"Okay, let's not worry about that for now, in fact, I even made a birthday cake, let's go back to the dormitory and eat it together......"

"No...... Forget it. ”

"I promise it tastes better than last year."

"No! I still have experiments, and I can't stay in the bathroom tonight. ”

"No, it won't!" Kree turned behind Thor and pushed him back, "The food is fresh this time!" ”

Thor couldn't really exert himself, so he could only resist with difficulty.

Then

"Sorry, it wasn't intentional to eavesdrop, what's a birthday cake? A new poison? ”

Nick stepped out from behind the scarlet door of the morgue and raised his hand to greet the two of them.

There was an outsider there, and Klee immediately stopped and returned to her cold appearance.

"Uh, good afternoon, Senior Nick." Thor straightened his collar, "Birthday cake is actually a food to celebrate your birthday. ”

"Is there still a custom of giving gifts on birthday in your hometown?" Nick walked in and raised his hand to hold up a piece of letter to Thor, "That's right, I have good news for you as a gift." ”

Thor pulled the letter from between Nick's fingers, unfolded it, and read it with his head down.

Immediately, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"It's Byron's senpai!"

Hearing Byron's name, Klee also looked at it with some curiosity.

It's just that she remained polite and didn't come closer.

Thor read it quickly, the expression on his face turning to surprise and disbelief.

He looked up and asked Nick, "Senior Byron said he invited us to go out on a mission together...... What does that mean? ”

Nick replied calmly: "It's literal, as long as the mentors agree, with the invitation of the third-level apprentice, even if you are a first-level apprentice, you can participate in the mission outside the tower." And the mentors never disagreed. ”

Then Nick raised his hand and slapped him twice.

"Congratulations, you're ready to go out."
