Chapter 7: The Test of Leaving the Teacher

After a night of binge drinking, except for Wayne, who didn't drink, the other witchers were drunk.

He had no choice but to carry these drunks back to their rooms one by one like sacks.

According to past memories, Kylemohan is the hometown of the Wolf School, and the four witchers of the Wolf School, Viselmir, Geralt, Lambert, and Eskell, if not delayed by anything else, will return here almost every winter before the heavy snow covers the mountain.

In addition to them, there is also a witcher named Belengar, who occasionally returns here to recuperate, a relatively silent man, and apart from Viselmir, the relationship with the other three is not very warm.

In all the years of training, Wayne had only seen him in one winter.

Having played the Witcher series, he knew that the witcher would eventually be caught by a group of Virgian gangsters and warlocks, and was forced to confess not only the location of Kylemohan, but also the secret of the Trials of the Grass, which eventually led to a series of events.

But none of this has happened yet, and it has nothing to do with Wayne now.

Throughout the winter, with four Demon Hunter masters by his side, he trained even harder, especially in swordsmanship, and four swordsman masters with different styles fought against him, or against each other, making him more and more experienced in actual combat.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long for heavy snow to block the road between Kyrmohan and the outside world, and due to the cold weather, the harvest was far worse than in the past, whether it was fishing or growing vegetables.

This deprived Wayne of a lot of fun, but fortunately he had a few more companions, and in his spare time, he would take the food he had prepared, find these demon hunters, and listen to them talk about the monsters and tasks they encountered in their past experiences.

It also allowed him to learn a lot of customs and interesting stories that he couldn't learn from books.

Time passed quickly, and the winter in Kylemohan lasted for about three months, and by the time the snow melted the following year, Geralt, Lambert, and Askel had all left the castle again.

The money of the witchers is not blown by the wind, and in order to survive, in order to fill their stomachs, they must travel around the world to carry out the mission of hunting monsters.

And in the following year, perhaps with a certain recognition of Wayne's strength, Viselmir no longer stayed by his side every day to help him train, but after assigning training tasks, he took time to go down the mountain to look for work and make money.

He had to bear all the expenses of training Wayne, and although the old witcher had some savings, the money was always spent less and less, and the cost of training a witcher was also quite a bit.

The days of training in Kylemohan always passed very quickly, and Wayne was not lazy, exercising his abilities day after day, and almost all the books about monsters in the castle were carefully studied.

And in this year, he managed to reach level five in the witcher, and the sword level and magic seal level reached level five and eight.

Not only that, but when he obtains a level 5 skill, he can use the special class specialty that his ability points awaken.

Swordsmanship Specialty: Cat's Sensitivity, able to gain cat-like agility and intuition for danger, Effect: Weapon attack speed increased by 25%, Intuition +3.

Fa Sigil Specialty: Powerful spell casting, which can be used to consume more mana and cast a stronger Fa Sigil by briefly charging.

The combat class bonus and two class perks have made his combat ability greatly improved, far exceeding the standard that the average Witcher apprentice can achieve.

When the snow closed the mountains and the Wolf School witchers gathered in Kyle Mohan that winter, Wayne, who was already sixteen, finally couldn't bear the loneliness and asked his mentor Viselmir to come out as a teacher.

"Teacher Viselmere, after the beginning of spring next year, I hope to be able to officially descend the mountain and become a real witcher."

Hearing Wayne's request, Geralt, Lambert, and Eskel all had different expressions on their faces.

Before the old witcher could speak, Lambert said mockingly:

"Little guy, don't be too self-righteous, although your talent is good, but you have only studied swordsmanship for a few years, and you want to become a teacher."

"I don't want to go to the monster's lair someday to collect your corpse for you."

Eskell took a sip of his beer and followed suit:

"Lambert doesn't like that, but I agree with him."

"Wayne, you're still young, don't be in a hurry."

"We've seen a lot of fledgling young witchers who didn't die at the hands of monsters, but by all sorts of accidents, at the hands of those mobs."

"There's still a lot to learn, and you need to settle down for a few more years."

"We witchers have a very long lifespan, and you have plenty of time to grow."

Geralt didn't speak, he looked at Wayne with curiosity, wondering why he, a fellow brother, was in a hurry to become a teacher.

The old witcher Viselmir's expression was very serious, his expression was calm, and he stared at Wayne's eyes for dozens of seconds before he asked:

"Why, child, I have always taught you that as a witcher, the most important thing is patience and caution."

"You're still in the learning and growth stage, and you shouldn't rush it."

"Tell me, what's your reason for doing this?"

Wayne smiled earnestly and sincerely at the crowd and said to his mentor:

"Teacher, I have written down all the books in the castle, and I am quite proficient in the swordsmanship of the Wolf School."

"I think it's hard for me to continue to improve by staying in the castle and practising."

He looked at the old witcher's wrinkled face and whispered:

"You once said that only practice is the best teacher."

"In order to be able to reassure you that I am a teacher, I have decided to give my best to challenge a few seniors of the Wolf School."

"I hope you can see my strength before making a decision."

Hearing this, Vismere took a deep look at his apprentice, he was not an arbitrary man, since Wayne was so strongly demanding, he thought about it for a while, and then said with a sigh:

"Since you ask for so, kid."

"Then wait until tomorrow morning, on the training ground of the castle, and let's see your confidence."

Lambert laughed, and immediately said:

"Boy, you're just a beating that lacks reality."

"Let me be the first to fight against you tomorrow, I want to teach you well, you can't be too proud and complacent."

"I won't show mercy, you just wait for the beaten nose and swollen face."

Wayne didn't care about Lambert's provocation, this guy was a natural poisonous tongue, a natural bar spirit, and a true demon hunter.

He smiled and nodded at Lambert, and said:

"Then you have to be careful, Lambert, and I'll do my best."
