“I barely have any personal time in the day now.”
Sonia complained bitterly, "I start taking compulsory or general courses at 8 a.m., because I'm now transferred to the swordsmanship department. Although I don't have to take courses from the water department, I still have to take two courses, Introduction to Swordsmanship and Practical Swordsmanship. Not only that, Professor Trozan checks my swordsmanship progress and practices with me almost every day, so I hardly stop during the day."
Speaking of which, Sonia also felt strange. Professor Trozan was not a retired professor who had time to take care of flowers and plants, but a famous hidden-hand swordsman and the signature magician of Sword Flower University.
Although Trozan accepted Sonia and Felix as research apprentices, he didn't come to care about them every day. It's not like Trozan hasn't seen geniuses before, and the time of a three-winged sanctuary magician is not so worthless.
But Professor Trozan not only visited them every day, he even took time to discuss things with Sonia - this was a treatment that was exclusive to Sonia, and Felix could only watch helplessly from the side.
Felix was obviously the senior, but Professor Trozan was so obviously partial to her that Sonia felt embarrassed but secretly happy at the same time.
She also wondered if it was the viewer's trick, but she felt that it was impossible - he was the Hidden Hand Sword Master!
The viewer's ability to control her should be the limit, how can he possibly control Professor Trozan
And she can control Professor Trozan, so why not do something else? Why does she have to let Professor Trozan beat her up
"I know you want me to improve on my swordplay."
Sonia tried to persuade him in a polite tone, "But I have learned enough during the day. I don't need to be forced to practice swordsmanship for two hours at night."
"Besides, those trainings are meaningless. Now that I have the Wave Sword, I should use it as the core to summon other auxiliary spirits instead of continuing with basic training..."
Sonia actually felt a little guilty when she said this.
Although what she said was right, after becoming a magician, she should change her sword training to "magic spirit training", that is, to improve her skills in using magic spirits.
Some people may find it strange that the Wave Sword Spirit was summoned by Sonia herself and she fully understands the knowledge. Why is there still room for improvement
This is because Sonia fully understands the "theory", but she has not fully analyzed the "reality". The process of using magic spirits is the practice of combining theory with reality, and naturally there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.
For example, the "Inner Wave Sword" that Sonia used to kill the orc warlock just now was the result of her learning in the past two days.
This move no longer uses the wave sword as a long-range attack, but instead concentrates it on the tip of the sword, which then explodes after piercing into the enemy's body, causing devastating damage in an instant.
There are still many tricks that can be explored with the wave sword, and spiritual training is undoubtedly necessary.
Not only that, if Sonia studies the techniques of the wave sword to perfection, she can also summon corresponding auxiliary spirits.
For example, if Sonia has mastered the 'Inner Wave Sword', she will most likely summon the 'Inner Room' spirit. The Inner Room spirit can compress the power of the Wave Sword spirit by 100%, and can even temporarily store it in an enemy or object, and then suddenly detonate it when the magician thinks about it.
Because of the use of two magic spirits, the 'Inner Wave Sword' has now become the 'Miracle Inner Wave Sword' which is more powerful and more difficult for the enemy to predict.
Of course, this is just a very superficial miracle, and it will not even be included in the "Catalogue of Magicians' Miracles", and it has no commercial value.
But this reflects the normal growth process of a magician: summon a magic spirit, and then based on this magic spirit, summon other auxiliary magic spirits to extend a complete miracle system.
So Sonia's request is reasonable.
But the problem is, she is a swordsman.
There is a saying among swordsmen: If you just want to be an ordinary swordsman, then just follow the school's arrangements and study; but if you want to become a two-wing gold, three-wing holy domain, or even a swordsman of a higher level, then you must master the three arts of 'slashing sword', 'stabbing sword', and 'cutting sword'.
All sword arts are ultimately derived from the three arts of slashing, stabbing, and cutting. Although mastering these three arts does not mean that you will be very strong, but failing to master the three arts means that you definitely have shortcomings.
Therefore, Sonia continued to carry out basic swordsmanship training in the past few days, and everyone thought it was reasonable. Even Felix did not fall behind in training - any aspiring swordsman apprentice would quickly lay a good foundation at this time.
Then why did Sonia ask the audience to cancel the training
Apart from the minor problem that she was really exhausted and had no time for entertainment, the main reason was of course that she wanted to test her own right to speak.
It’s not that she’s testing the viewer’s obedience, but Sonia is not willing to be controlled by others all the time.
It doesn't matter if the viewer rejects her this time. Sonia can slowly hint at it and take every step carefully to let the viewer remember every day how much she has paid and how much hard work she has done. After all, the crying child gets the milk.
One day, Sonia will figure out the psychological bottom line and thinking patterns of the viewers.
By that time, it will be hard to say who is controlled by whom...
"You make a lot of sense."
Ash nodded, seeming to be really convinced by Sword Lady.
Sonia was slightly startled and wondered if the viewer was so easy to talk to
"But I want to ask you this - if you had two extra hours in the evening, what would you do with them?"
"Probably... read a book, watch a play, go to a dance and meet more friends?"
"So, it's all entertainment and fun, right?"
Ash tapped the hull with his fingers, thinking back to how his boss had fooled people in the past.
"Have you ever seen anyone with a better family background than you?"
“Yes.”
"Have you ever seen someone whose family background is better than yours and whose talent is not inferior to yours?"
“Yes.”
"Do you know what the scariest thing in this world is? People with better family backgrounds and talents than you work harder than you!" Ash said earnestly, "When you can't help but want to stop and rest, others will take the opportunity to widen the gap between you and them."
Sonia's heart was moved slightly, thinking of Felix who drove away in a silver limousine.
"Don't waste your life when you should be working hard, and don't indulge in enjoyment when you should be striving. There are too many people in this world whose starting point is our end point. Are you willing to only look up at the backs of others in the future, to be just an ordinary person, and to have no place to leave your mark except the sea of knowledge?"
Sonia's lips moved, but she finally shook her head, "I'm not willing to accept it."
Ash said earnestly, "So, Sword Princess, your thoughts are not good, don't blame me for criticizing you. You feel tired? It's okay to be tired, comfort is for the elderly. You want to enjoy life? It's okay to want to, enjoyment is for successful people."
"You are in your prime, so you must be brave enough to step out of your comfort zone and fill your life with struggle. Don't let other people's lives blind you. Do you want to be just an ordinary person like them in the future? Don't let your inner desires cover your rationality. Desires will only affect the speed at which you draw your sword."
“If you want something, you should work hard for it. That way, when you fail in the future, you can blame the world instead of yourself.”
"For magicians like me, we don't care about the past, nor do we seek afterlife. We only want to live a glorious life in this life, and to take revenge!"
Sonia was silent for a long time, then nodded heavily: "Viewer, you are right!"
OK, we got through it... Yaxiu breathed a sigh of relief. He was still a little uncomfortable with this kind of work. After all, he was the one being psychologically prepared by his boss in the past, and now it was his turn to prepare others psychologically.
You know what, this kind of work that causes anxiety in others is quite interesting. No wonder the boss often forwards anxiety articles on WeChat Moments.
"Then changing the two-hour training time to one hour shouldn't have much of an impact, right?"
Ash blinked and suddenly found that the area prompt in the "Virtual Realm Exploration" changed from "Wait a minute" to "Now", and quickly changed the subject: "Stop chatting, cheer up, we are about to enter a dangerous area!"
The boat passed through layers of white fog, and a small island appeared in their eyes.
There is a huge white fox on the island, its fur reflecting purple and white arcs, like the moon falling here, so beautiful that you can't take your eyes away. It is perched under a tree, with its body and tail curled up into a fluffy ball, making you want to rub it.
"It's Fox Zhaolong," Sonia lowered her voice but couldn't hide her excitement, "It's asleep!"
The boat quietly docked, and they tiptoed to the head of Hu Zhaolong. The two looked at each other and prepared to gather their strength.
Sonia prepared to draw her sword, but Ash used his Substitute Magic to summon a Substitute. The two of them held unsharpened swords and aimed at Fox Zhaolong's head. In the virtual world, Ash's consciousness was free from the limitations of his body and was naturally no longer bound by the chip on the back of his neck, so he could use the Magic.
After testing, Ash discovered that although the Stand would break with a single poke, it could still attack before being pierced. For example, in this situation, the Stand could be used to increase damage.
As for the unsharpened longsword, just like Sonia could take out a wooden sword, Ash could naturally summon the weapons he had used in the death match. In fact, what Ash wanted to summon the most was a gun, but the problem was that he had never touched any gun in reality, so he couldn't imagine it...
Get ready, two of you mouth the same words: three, two, one, attack at the same time!
"Iai Wave Sword!"
"Double kill!"
The sleeping Fox Dragon was instantly hit in the head by three swords at the same time. It let out a sharp roar, almost making Ash and Sonia temporarily deaf, and its stand was directly broken by the roar.
But Hu Zhaolong seemed to be stunned by the beating. He couldn't even stand up and could only bite and struggle on the ground.
Naturally, the two of them would not talk about any moral code with Hu Zhaolong. They took advantage of its weakness to attack it, picked up their weapons and beat it on the head. Ash also took the opportunity to stroke its fur.
After more than ten seconds, Hu Zhaolong let out an unwilling roar, and his body turned into a ball of white smoke and dissipated.
It left behind three sleeping magic spirits, who seemed to be confused about the situation and looked at the strange magicians blankly. But Sonia did not look at the magic spirits, but reached out and picked up a bright bead on the ground.
"What's this?"
"Experience Orb." Sonia stared at the orb closely, with an unconcealable desire in her eyes. "There are no restrictions, no requirements. As long as the magician absorbs this experience orb, he can gain all the insights of the knowledge creature and directly master a school of magic!"
"If they are from the same faction, it can even greatly improve the magician's knowledge level, and from then on, the path to promotion will be smooth without any bottlenecks!"
"Exploring the virtual world is the accumulation of thousands of miles of journey."
"The orb of experience is a moment of enlightenment!"
