83: Biggs is married?!

wizard's path Year 22, January 6th.

It was a beautiful day, with gentle breezes and a clear sky.

Today was the 7th day of Green's holiday, and also a memorable one.

Because early in the morning, Green received joyous news from his good brother, Bigg.

Bigg was getting married! He was going to start a family at the Wizard Academy!

…When Green first heard Bigg announce the news, he was a little stunned.

His immediate thought was:

“You can get married and start a family at the Wizard Academy?”

“Green, you really are easily surprised.”

Oakes poked his golden head out of the second-floor window and said with a laugh:

“Otherwise?”

“Where do you think my family got its name—the so-called one of the Four Great Families of the Wizard Academy?”

“My great-grandfather was one of the first Wizard Apprentices to come to Plant Heart Wizard Academy to study.”

“After twenty years of study, my great-grandfather felt there was no hope for the wizard's path, so he started a small family just like Bigg. This has been passed down for generations, and I am the fourth generation.”

…Green nodded, indicating he had learned something new and broadened his horizons.

Green's essential soul was still that of an otherworldly transmigrator. Influenced by the experiences of many transmigrator predecessors in his previous life, he had never considered, in his understanding, that a wizard could marry and start a family.

Which of those senior wizards didn't come and go as bachelors… Plus, after transmigrating, Green was either studying or on his way to study.

Green simply didn't have time to deal with such matters.

“Bigg, congratulations!”

Green said somewhat awkwardly:

“Look, it's so sudden, I don't even know what to give you as a wedding gift.”

“How about you tell me, what do you two still need for your wedding?”

“I'll go buy it right now.”

…“No need, Green.”

“None of you need to give anything. Let's just have a meal together and celebrate, that's enough.”

Bigg shook his head and said.

“Everything that needs to be prepared, I've already prepared.”

“I came today to invite you all to my new home to liven things up…”

“Green, Oakes, Allie, do you have anything else to do right now?”

“If not, let's go now.”

“Let's go, let's go, let's go…”

Oakes directly leaped from the second-floor window, put his arm around Bigg's shoulder, and said:

“Let's go now, to drink the wedding wine…”

“I can go now too, wait for me, I'll grab something.” Allie called from the fourth floor… “Hey, Bigg…”

“How did you know Allie was home today? She doesn't come back once in ten days to half a month. She basically lives in the laboratory.”

Green asked curiously.

“Green…”

“I arranged with Allie a month in advance to invite you all for a meal today. Allie agreed, that's why she's here today.” Bigg explained.

“Oh…”

Green was rebuffed and didn't say anything more.

His good friend's happy occasion was most important today, so Green smiled and asked again:

“Goodness, I'm the only one who just found out today.”

“Bigg, you kept it well hidden.”

“Hey, Bigg, when did you get a girlfriend? You're only telling us now that you're getting married.”

…“Green, I didn't mean to hide it from you.”

Bigg explained:

“Oakes said it was because he was afraid that if he told you, you'd get emotional again.”

“And you've been in a critical period this year, unable to be disturbed, otherwise it would be extremely harmful to you.”

“It was my idea, Green.”

“I understand your condition best. I did this to avoid affecting your special training.”

Oakes said with a smile:

“At that time, weren't you in the process of condensing your fighting spirit?”

“It's not too late for you to know now.”

“What are you two talking about? Let's go. I only have one morning to celebrate with you.”

At this moment, Allie arrived.

“Then let's go…”

…East District of the Wizard Academy.

The third floor of a certain building.

Bigg led his friends to tour his new residence.

This was a couple's apartment jointly rented by Bigg and his wife, Frigga, with an area 1.5 times that of a single Wizard Apprentice's dwelling, approximately 180 square meters.

Frigga was also a Wizard Apprentice from the same batch as Bigg and Green, and one of the 42 successful graduates. Like Bigg, she followed the path of a Magical Plant Cultivator.

These two could be considered a perfect match, sharing similar aspirations. Even their temperaments were alike; Frigga was a very gentle woman, who didn't speak much when receiving Green and the others, but simply helped with introductions and served refreshments at just the right moments.

Couple's apartments differed from single apartments in many ways. They had fewer functional arrangements for cultivation, such as laboratories and Demonized Plants cultivation rooms, but they included specialized infant rooms and nanny rooms.

According to Bigg, because Wizard Apprentices carry strong radiation and high-energy reaction particles, it is akin to poison for newborns.

Therefore… these infant rooms and nanny rooms were equipped with anti-radiation Wizard Arrays. When a child is born, they will be placed in the infant room and cared for by hired mortal nannies, ensuring the child grows up healthy.

Once the child reaches 8 years old, their wizard's path aptitude will be uniformly tested.

If their wizard's path aptitude meets the academy's recruitment standards, they will be directly admitted for training.

If not, they will all be sent out of the Wizard Academy, and their parents will decide their future… “Frigga and I have discussed it.”

“If my child cannot stay in our academy, we will send them to my hometown, where it wouldn't be bad for them to be a mundane noble in the Motlan Grand Kingdom.”

Bigg said with a smile.

He had already made various arrangements for the future; Bigg was a very opinionated and decisive person.

Back then… after the second five-year grand examination, while other Wizard Apprentices were still observing and wanting to try the path of an Apothecary or Magical Item Manufacturer, Bigg decisively resolved to only pursue the path of a Magical Plant Cultivator.

And he received a generous return.

Bigg had the last laugh, becoming one of the final 42 successful graduates, while several other third-grade aptitude Wizard Apprentices from that year failed to graduate.

Now… Bigg, one year after graduation.

Decisively found a girlfriend, got married, and began a new chapter in his life—a new beginning… Green greatly admired Bigg.

He took every step in a way that perfectly suited him, never procrastinating. He clearly knew what he could achieve and what he could not.

He decisively gave up on things he couldn't obtain.

For things he could obtain, even if the world looked down on them, if they had a low upper limit and were not highly valuable, Bigg didn't despise them and fully grasped them.

Bigg steadily managed his life step by step, living with clear-headed awareness.

Green sighed: “I am not as good as Bigg…”
