The next day, I moved Yaruo and all my property (two boxes of crystals) to Sack's house. From that day on, in addition to writing a proposal to arm the three divisions, I began to learn magic from Magister Carlo. As for forming an army, I had to wait until Duke Shalo selected all the people and prepared everything I needed for me before I could start building weapons and integrating the army.
"Sir, please say the spell again, and please say each scale of the spell slowly..."
"Idiot... I've taught you six times, and you didn't even remember half of the spell. You're so stupid. Read the spell slowly? You thought of that, but it's useless... Uh, what are you writing down with your notebook? Well, okay, I'll read it and you listen..."
A minute later, a small fireball shot out from the front of my magic wand and slightly shook the defensive barrier opposite me.
Another half minute later, a fireball as big as a washbasin appeared from my magic wand and dimmed the magic wall. This action made Carlo stunned for a long time.
Ten minutes later, I was able to skillfully use all the low-level fire magic that could be learned. The only difference from others was that I had to hold the notebook in my left hand and the magic wand in my right hand.
"Damn it, are you sure you haven't learned magic before? Especially fire magic?" After I used all the low-level fire magic I could use one by one, Carlo finally got angry.
"I'm sure I haven't learned it before. Is there something wrong?" I rolled my eyes and answered the furious Carlo. He looked like I was making fun of him. Am I learning magic too fast? I wonder if this is a super good way to learn English on Earth
"How could you learn so fast? Just these few magic spells, it would take at least a day to memorize them, let alone recite them skillfully. How could you do it? How is it possible?"
"That's because they are stupid. Didn't I read everything well? Didn't you see that I asked you to speak slowly when I taught you? I remembered it all. Tell me! What magic should we learn next? Speak slowly, one scale at a time, or I won't be able to remember it..." (Of course I can't remember it. I am using the method I often did when I learned English, marking the English words with Chinese! I think everyone must have done this when they were in school. This can also be done for other languages, right?)
“Damn it... Below is the more practical magic blast ball among the intermediate fire magic... Damn it, what are you memorizing? Bring that thing over here..." When Carlo recited the spell word by word, my actions of desperately composing the spell with various white words were finally discovered by the little fat man.
When my notebook fell into his hands and he read through it one by one, Carlo's face kept changing like a chameleon, from red to white to purple to black... Seeing him so excited, I was afraid that the youngest magician in the history of the empire would faint.
"You bastard, do you know that this is a desecration of sacred magic? Magic spells are sacred. How could you do this? Using white words instead of magic patterns and symbols, you...you..."
"Lord Carlo, I feel great! Don't you see that I am learning very fast now? I think the most important thing is that I can learn the magic you taught me in the fastest way. I don't think there is any problem in using the fastest and simplest method to get the best results?" Hey! Thinking back to the beginning, that's what my dead boss on Earth said. The result is that I, a guy who knows everything but is just a nobody, finally defeated several senior engineers and experts in the factory, which surprised everyone in the factory. The method I used was to rely on this heavenly rule, which was not only faster, but also more likely to gain the support of the workers below. . . . . .
"Idiot..." Carlo was so angry that he hit me on the head with the magic stick. "Don't you know that if you do this, you won't recognize magic patterns and magic symbols anymore? Don't you plan to learn magic circles anymore? Don't you know the importance of magic circles to mages?" Carlo seemed to be irritated by me, and the flesh on the fat boy's hand was shaking as he ate the magic stick.
"Sir, I won't learn magic circles. It's too troublesome. I'll find a more convenient way anyway. But if I don't find a good way, I can learn the magic patterns and symbols. At most, I'll just start from scratch. I won't lose anything anyway..." I've seen magic circles. Isn't it just using magic potions to draw ghost symbols? I can just make a lot of stamps. It's at least hundreds of times faster than drawing by hand. Anyway, the potion still needs to be injected with magic power even if it's handwritten. If there were a printing press in this world, I would like to mass produce it, but I won't say that now.
"..."
"Lord Carlo, look at my current condition, what level of magician am I?" I imagine that with my powerful level, I should be at least a low-level magician, right
"Idiot, what kind of magician are you? You are at most a magic apprentice now. You only know a few low-level spells. How dare you call yourself a magician? All the magicians who have not been officially registered are magic apprentices. Only after you register with the Magic Guild can you be called an apprentice magician. And only after you obtain the certification of the Magic Guild can you be considered a real magician.
In addition, for the low-level wizard assessment, apart from a magic wand provided by the Magic Association, you are not allowed to bring any magic items, including your six-color elemental spirit. Do you think that your magic power can provide so much magic by yourself? 1/3 of the magic power is provided by the elemental spirit. . . . . "
"If I don't merge with the elves, what level would I be at now?" I won't tell you that I have always found it very difficult to accept the elves merging into my body, so the time I spent with Carlo was based on my own abilities. Of course, I won't tell you this, the more secrets, the safer.
"At your current level, based on your magic power, you are probably just a low-level magician. If you didn't have the elemental spirits, I think you would be just an outstanding apprentice magician. If you were at this level without the fusion of the elemental spirits, then your fire magic level would be considered the best among magic beginners. But don't be discouraged, you have only been formally learning magic for a short time. It took you many days to learn meditation at the beginning, and then to learn about magic power and mental power. It has only been 10 days since you started learning formal magic. Based on your level, I think it will take less than a year for you to become a low-level magician. By then, with the help of the elemental spirits, I think you may be able to fight against mid-level magicians."
"Lord Carlo, I will be taking the entrance exam in a few days. Can you tell me what to pay attention to?" A year is not a long time, and he mistakenly thought that I had merged with the elemental spirits, so I think I can advance to a high-level wizard in a year. Thinking that the entrance exam will be in a few days, I instinctively hope to know more about the academy. I don't mind making a little joke, but I am most afraid of getting into big trouble.
"There is no problem with the freshman assessment. Apart from the assessment of magic and mental strength, it is just a practical test. Any examinee who can cast a spell can pass. The more annoying thing is that after entering school, because the style of study in the Magic and Martial Arts Academy is relatively strong, students can challenge each other once a month as long as there is no abnormality between the other party. Of course, the challenge has principles. Seniors are not allowed to challenge juniors. Those who have accepted the challenge can refuse to accept the challenge again..."
"What about students of the same grade? What if a student with a solid foundation challenges me? Do I have to resist and get beaten?" Damn, in such a perverted situation, wouldn't it be possible to just fight against someone who doesn't like it? Even if I can't beat him, wouldn't it be possible to hire an expert to beat him up
"I'm afraid that's the case! Don't you think about why the students from the Magic and Martial Arts Academy are so powerful? Even the specialized magic academy is inferior to them? But you don't have to worry too much. Generally, if you don't mess with others, others won't mess with you. After all, you can find a chance to retaliate. If someone comes to you and you can't deal with it...you can also choose to admit defeat...although this is not very honorable..."
"God..." Oh, I have to be careful in the future and try not to cause trouble, otherwise my life will be in danger! No, didn't I say I could close the game? As long as someone challenges me, I can refuse, right? Hehe, this is a good idea. I can make a few more friends and go to the challenge field to compete. Why let those idiots challenge me? Just as I exclaimed, I thought of a good idea, hehehehe...
"Okay, these are for you. Don't think too much. Anyway, there will be instructors watching over the arena, and there will be special light mages and clergy. Unless you are killed on the spot, you will just suffer a little.
This is an amplification ring. Wearing it can reduce the loss of magic power by about 1/10. I think that as you have merged with the elemental elves, you will be fine as long as you don't offend any outstanding students in the academy.
As for those outstanding students, they rarely come from wealthy families. To deal with them, you can prepare more magic scrolls or magic crystal equipment, which can support them for a longer period of time. . .
Well, here are two magic scrolls from the Flame Dragon Region. Keep them for protection! Remember, this stuff is powerful as high-level magic, so be careful when using it and don't cause us any trouble.
Okay, that’s all for today. Next, practice more basic magic, and then study magic patterns and symbols hard, otherwise you will be the one who suffers in the future... " After saying this, Carlo handed me an antique ring and two exquisite scrolls and left.
“Brother Auf (the senior swordsman assigned to me by Thacker, who was born a commoner. In the empire, most knights are nobles), let’s go out for a walk…” Thinking about the situations when I read fantasy novels in the past, I couldn’t help but want to go to the magic equipment store to make a big purchase.
