Just when the demigod lich successfully opened the void passage and allowed a steady stream of undead armies to come to this plane, in the mountains behind Cassano's Iron Fist Castle, Ryan was testing the magic of several of his students. Ryan so far A total of 5 students were admitted, namely Barbara from Cassano, Harold the Little King, Sister Natalya from Moon Moon City, and Richie from Free Paradise. Apart from Harold’s special status, You can't always follow Ryan to learn magic. Others always live in Iron Fist Castle and can get Ryan's teachings at any time.
As Lane's first student, Barbara has followed Lane for the longest time. She has received the most teachings from Lane and has the strongest practical experience. Moreover, Barbara knows that she is not unique in magic talent, so The only thing she can rely on is diligence. After borrowing Ryan's magic power to practice through the secret method, Barbara devoted most of her day to practicing magic, so her performance in today's exam was also The most eye-catching,
"Boom." A fireball hit the black iron wall used to test the power of magic, leaving some scratches on the hard black iron wall. Then Barbara released 22 in one breath continuously. A fireball, and then he stopped panting. Ryan on the side nodded, very satisfied with Barbara's performance today. After all, Barbara, who is 16 years old this year, is almost the same age as when he just left his hometown, but she Now it has reached Ryan's original level. Without diligent practice, he would never have been able to reach this level within 2 or 3 years of being exposed to magic.
"Okay." Vivian, Adela and others applauded Barbara's performance after seeing the entire test. They all knew a little about the promotion conditions of the Magic Guild and knew that although Barbara was now She cannot meet the promotion conditions, but if she were to confront an intermediate magician head-on, the one who loses in the end would definitely not be Barbara.
"Not bad." Ryan also gave a rare word of praise: "Barbara, you did a good job. If it was a life-and-death battle, your fast spell casting and snake kiss could probably kill the intermediate magician, but you can't Proud and complacent, you know.”
"Okay... Teacher Lane." Barbara took a deep breath and replied in a deep voice: "Don't worry, as long as I am by your side, I can't think of any qualifications for myself to be complacent."
"Hahahaha." This time, everyone present laughed. Indeed, with Ryan as an example in front of Barbara, unless Barbara was a fool, how could she not see her goal? , with such a clear goal as Ryan, Barbara is afraid that she will be very busy in the next few decades.
"Well, Harold is not here, and I don't know how far this little guy has reached in magic meditation. Speaking of which, I really neglected my duty. Although I agreed to teach him magic, it seems that I didn't spend much time on him. "Ryan rubbed his nose and whispered,
"Don't worry, Teacher Lane." Barbara heard what Lane said and suddenly interrupted: "Harold will write me a letter every month. He will tell me all the doubts he encounters, and then I will I get the answer from you and then write back to him, so in a sense, that guy is my student."
"Hahahaha." Everyone present laughed again,
When the hearty whistling gradually weakened, a clear voice of a young man suddenly came from outside the yard of the practice venue: "No, I don't want to call you Barbara as a teacher. I still prefer to call you Barbara." elder sister."
"Hey." Ryan immediately recognized the boy's voice, and he shouted out in surprise: "Harold, why are you running here."
"Haha, sister Barbara, I see you again. When was the last time we met? It seems to have been almost half a year." The little king Harold appeared at the gate of the yard. He saw Barbara Then he immediately rushed forward. The 9-year-old he inherited Fernando's blood, because his figure was quite similar to that of a 14- or 5-year-old boy. When he ran to Barbara, he was actually only shorter than the 16-year-old Barbara. Only half of it,
Harold gave Barbara a hug, and Barbara then squeezed Harold's head a few times, as if she didn't care about the noble status of the young man in front of her. The two chatted eagerly. After a few words, he remembered that Harold, as Ryan's student, seemed to have not greeted his teacher yet, so Harold turned to Ryan with an embarrassed face, only to see that Ryan had no longer paid attention to him. He turned away, but looked lovingly at a beautiful figure walking from the courtyard gate,
"Fani, you're here." Almost in the blink of an eye, Ryan teleported to Faras' side. He stretched out his hands, held his wife's hand, and said happily,
"Hmph, you didn't even come to see me." Faras deliberately looked angry, but the smile on her lips betrayed her feelings.
"I want to see you too, but..." Ryan was still the same as before. He knew that Faras was just talking deliberately, but he was still very anxious in his heart. He had to explain it to her on the spot, and his behavior This performance also made Faras very happy, because this is exactly how Ryan cares about his performance.
It was just that the two of them were flirting with each other but they didn't continue because Victor's voice rang out: "I said, you only think about Fanny, don't you think about me, an old guy?"
"Ahem." Ryan turned his face away in embarrassment. He happened to see a few smiling faces, but they were Victor, Orlando and Red. This made Ryan suddenly stunned. The core of the Imperial Capital came to Cardiff today. Sano, could something big happen again
"I said, you must have been wronged by what I told you." Victor looked at Ryan with a smile. Of course he guessed what Ryan was thinking, but he did not mention anything about him and others coming here, intending to deliberately Suspend Ryan's curiosity,
"Ah, that's not right. I remember you are about 40 years old. Old guy doesn't seem to be the right word to describe you." Ryan finally came to his senses, and he said in turn: "It's you, Red." It’s a rare occasion, let’s get together tonight.”
"Okay, okay, we'll talk about these things later. Why don't we continue to see how many students you are taking the exam for?" Victor waved his hand and directly interrupted Ryan: "We are all very curious, Ryan What kind of students can you teach?"
"Okay, but we have to start with Harold first." Ryan agreed immediately.
"Okay, it's up to me." Harold followed the example of an adult and puffed up his chest. He took a few steps to the black iron wall where magic was tested. He recited the magic spell softly, and soon a ball of red formed on his hand. After about 5 seconds of halo, Harold completed the fireball magic, released it, and hit the center of the black iron wall hard, bursting out into a ball of fire.
Ryan smiled noncommittally. Harold's magic had no effect on the black iron wall at all. Even if it hit an ordinary soldier directly, it would probably only be a burn. Such magic is probably most suitable for setting off fireworks. Yes, of course there is no way to say this in front of everyone. After all, Harold is also the future king of the empire.
"That's right, that's right. You're not even 10 years old yet, Harold." Barbara didn't care about this. She excitedly patted Harold's head as he walked towards her and said happily,
"Of course, I am a magic genius, and I have two great wizards who teach me personally. Well, and you, the future great wizard, can help me, so that I can release level 3 magic. Teacher Ryan, what do you think? Have you reached the level of a junior magician now?" After all, Harold is still a child. After showing the results of his hard work, he still can't help but hope to be recognized by others.
Ryan originally didn't intend to go into detail, but seeing Harold's triumphant look, he finally felt that he should calm down, so he spoke: "How far has your mana meditation reached now? Can you continuously support yourself?" Release a few level 3 magics. What can your level 3 magics do other than serve as fireworks? Genius, do you know who the title genius is for? Do you know that in the past few hundred years, humans have been promoted to the legendary realm? Mage, who is called a genius? Do you know what will happen to those so-called geniuses in the end?"
Harold was blinded by Ryan's scolding. He stood there with tears in his eyes that were about to flow down. He has been a member of the Fernando royal family since he was a child, the future successor of the empire, serving others. He was always cautious, who would scold him like this, and be so merciless in front of so many people
"Okay, if you're a man, don't cry." Ryan waved his hand and said: "The so-called halo of genius is not praise but corrosion. When you are immersed in it and can't extricate yourself, that is the beginning of your fall. Think about it Well, when you find that you can no longer maintain this dazzling halo, and you can't bear the envious and eager eyes of everyone, what will you do? If someone is willing to provide you with strong power at this time, so that you can continue to maintain this kind of halo. The nihilistic sense of honor, as long as it corrodes your heart step by step, I'm afraid in the end, hum."
Seeing the grievance on Harold's face, Barbara gently patted his shoulder and said in a very solemn voice: "Harold, what the teacher said is all for your own good. If you don't It doesn’t matter if you understand, just write them down and you will understand one day.” Harold nodded and said in a respectful tone: “Teacher Ryan, please give me some advice.”
