Chapter 213 Chapter 213 Everyone, I have a plan

"Let's put these minor issues aside for now," Gwen said. "In my opinion, the wand's sensitivity can be left as is. Sensing and controlling magical power is part of magical training, and it can be used as a teaching aid."

"It happens to be the weekend today, so why don't you come and learn the formal introductory methods of magic from me?"

When Gwen thought that her cousin might be leading this group of people on the path of misleading young people, she felt that she had to take action to correct it.

Benjamin: "Now? But I still have to take care of the kids."

Gwen: "Let Kevin or my uncle and aunt help take care of them. Learning magic randomly can easily lead to accidents. You don't want my nephews and nieces to become orphans one day, do you?"

Now that Gwen had said that, Benjamin had no excuse to refute.

Although when Kevin heard that he had to take care of children - 14 babies at that - even 14 Nakfuji babies who could gnaw on his metal form, he immediately covered his head and said that his stomach ached, then he got into his beloved car at the door and drove away.

But Benjamin's parents were happy to take on the responsibility of taking care of their grandchildren, and told Gwen that if Benjamin didn't study hard or made trouble, she could complain to them at any time.

So everyone changed into home clothes and followed Gwen to learn meditation, trying to sense the magic power in their bodies.

Half an hour later, Gwen, who had been meditating in mid-air, landed gracefully. She expressionlessly patted Benjamin, who was still breathing and sound asleep, awakening him. "Take that transformation staff and start practicing the most basic magical sensing."

It allows you to relax your body and mind, and try to feel the existence of magic power from inside your body, not to let you sleep!

Gwen was not surprised by this result at all. Having grown up with Benjamin, she knew her cousin's stupid and reckless nature very well.

To be honest, Benjamin's brain is not stupid at all, but sometimes he really doesn't use his brain, which is often reflected when he gets the Omnitrix.

Benjamin rubbed his sore shoulder. “Do we have to start with meditation? I remember when you were a kid, didn’t you always start with controlling objects?”

Gwen gave him a look of "What the hell is this guy talking about?" "Because you always mess with me, I meditate while you're asleep. Thanks to you for leading me and others astray, now you don't even know the most basic object control. I have to teach you the basics all over again."

No matter how fast or high a building is built, it will be useless if the foundation is not stable.

Benjamin: “Is our foundation… really that bad?”

He saw that Li Hua was very good at casting spells.

"After all this time, none of you can cast a spell on your own. That's enough to explain the problem," Gwen said helplessly. "Li Hua is just relying on his cards, so it can't be considered as true magic. Those cards are like training wheels on a baby walker or bicycle. They can help you cast spells for a short time, but you can't rely on them all the time."

"I understand." Li Hua knew that Gwen was reminding him indirectly not to take shortcuts and cut off his future.

Li Hua has always known that the magic cards in his hand, which don't even have face values, are low-end mirror versions of the Clow Cards. The buffs and staffs on his body... are all auxiliary tools that No. 666 got for him as a rookie to help him get started quickly.

Auxiliary tools are always auxiliary tools. If you rely solely on external forces, you will never achieve your own success and will not get real growth.

This is why, as Li Hua became more and more familiar with the control of magic power in the past few months and began to grow up and be able to stand on his own, the number of times No. 666 actively prompted and commanded him dropped sharply. Now, if Li Hua does not actively call him, he will almost dive silently.

A rookie is also a bird, and one day he will have to learn to fly on his own.

Relying on mountains, water and friends is ultimately not as good as relying on yourself. Li Hua is not a piece of mud that is unwilling to climb the wall without auxiliary tools.

Gwen was very pleased: "You are much more mature than Ben was when he was a child."

Benjamin was unhappy: "I am more mature than when I was a child, right?"

Gwen: "Isn't that what it should be?"

“Pah.”

Jason was still meditating, and everyone couldn't help but lower their voices when they spoke, which made the small strange noises in the room seem extremely abrupt.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that the source of the sound was a slipper.

To be more precise, it was a slipper in front of Jason. It was turned upside down without anyone touching it, and it was still wobbling like an overturned turtle.

Gwen beamed, "It works! I'm starting to be able to control reality."

"Just as I expected, Jason often uses that buggy wand with explosive sensitivity. He must have realized the magic power in his body. As long as he is guided correctly, he will soon get started."

Thinking of this, Gwen couldn't help but feel regretful - how far had this idiot Benjamin led others astray?

Benjamin was puzzled. "Li Hua uses more magic, so shouldn't he be faster than Jason? Why didn't he lift his slippers?"

Li Hua was even more puzzled: "Then why would I lift the slippers? Didn't we say we were just meditating now?"

Why would he bother touching his shoes when he has nothing better to do?

Jason opened his eyes. "Maybe it's because I was thinking my feet are a little cold."

Gwen turned up the air conditioner by one degree. "Don't be so restrained. I'm only teaching you the correct way to practice magic. You can practice on your own without me. Now, show me how to control an object. I'll estimate your control over the magic outside your body."

There’s something very… indescribable about using telekinesis.

Even though my hand didn't directly touch an object, I could feel myself releasing some kind of hard-to-define force? Or energy to move the object, and I could also feel the force feedback.

Li Hua successfully made his two slippers float. Gwen asked him to move the slippers from time to time, and then the object of control changed to a water cup.

When the objects to be controlled were changed to two cups filled with water, Li Hua could no longer keep steady. However, when the water overflowed from the cups, a pink energy caught it all and then placed the cups back on the table.

"Well done! This is quite good for a beginner who has only been self-studying for three months. I guess you haven't neglected your training before."

Gwen nodded in satisfaction, raised her hand slightly, and the coffee table floated in the pink energy.

"It's normal for out-of-body magic to be more difficult to control, but the degree of control is closely related to the success rate and refinement of our spellcasting, as well as the stability of the spell. As we train in this area, we can gradually try to levitate heavier objects and keep them stable."

Gwen herself taught herself magic and learned it step by step. She knows best which pitfalls newbies often fall into.

She shared all her five years of self-taught magic experience and training methods with them, doing her utmost to give the nearly green magic boys F3 a learning correction. She wanted to clear up all the deviations, mistakes, and misguided learning paths they had taken in the past three months and bring them back on track.

Li Hua and others did not let Gwen down and activated their recorders and mobile phone notepads.

When Gwen finished, her mouth was dry. She picked up the glass of water on the table to moisten her throat and asked, "That's about it. Any other questions?"

Li Hua: "Could you please lend us your magic book later?"

"Yes, but I can't borrow it for too long because I need it myself," Gwen said. "But I didn't bring it with me today, so I can't borrow it until tomorrow."

Jason: "No problem, we can get an automatic page-turning book scanner during this time."

Gwen: "Do you have any money?"

She had seen an automatic page-turning book scanner a long time ago, but it was not cheap at all, and she was sure that Benjamin's pocket money could not afford it.

Although non-page-turning book scanners are cheaper, they require you to manually turn the pages one by one or help hold down the pages, which is not as convenient as taking photos with a mobile phone.

Jason: "We don't have any cash, but we got some hard currency to exchange before we left."

After traveling through several parallel worlds, they had long discovered that cash could no longer circulate in different worlds.

Therefore, before coming to Bellwood, Benjamin specifically consulted Superman and went to outer space to get hundreds of tons of gold ore with extremely high gold content, and exchanged it with Bruce for 5 kilograms of pure gold.

Anyway, it will be used across the universe, so such a small amount will not cause any financial crisis.

The density of gold is 2.4 times that of iron. The gold was melted by the Kryptonians' heat rays and then molded by hand into a size and shape that can be carried on the body at any time. The average weight per person is not much at all.

This weight of gold would probably fetch around $300,000 in Gotham. I don't know the price of gold in Bellwood, but it was plucked from the sky anyway, practically free of cost. If it's not enough, just pluck more, though refining it would be a bit more complicated.

"And we also need a book scanner that can automatically turn pages, but we don't have to buy it," Li Hua said. "Because Benjamin can use his super clever Crab Armor Mastermind to manually make one. We used this trick to make a spaceship before."

Facing his cousin's surprised look, Benjamin puffed out his chest proudly: "Not only the spacecraft, but also the automated balcony shed where we're staying over there, and the weird weapon modification can be done!"

"Now—who's the hero?"

Gwen ignored her cousin who was showing off, and just supported her right hand with her left hand, resting the joint of her right index finger on her chin, and lowered her head as if thinking.

"What's wrong?"

Benjamin wasn't upset when he didn't get any praise from his cousin - it wasn't the first day he'd known Gwen. Five years ago, Gwen would have even scorned him, just like he would have done in the same situation five years ago.

Gwen put down her hands and said something amazing:

"Everyone, I have an idea."
