Chapter 9 009: Answer
"How about it? Apprentice Luo Xi, do you have an answer?" Lady Catherine looked at Luo Xi.
The apprentices also focused their attention on him, their eyes burning.
Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, finally scratched his hair, shook his head and said, "No, ma'am."
It's not worth putting yourself in the fire for a blank promise.
Just look at the eyes of the apprentices around and you will know that everyone who can come here is a talented person who will not give up easily. If they become famous for a while, there is no telling how much trouble they will get into in the future.
Lady Catherine was slightly disappointed: "Is that so."
She then withdrew her eager gaze from Luo Xi, nodded and said, "Okay, sit down."
The apprentices' gazes also returned to calm.
Madam Catherine then wrote the question on the blackboard and then asked the apprentices: "What is the nature of magic?"
"During this week's class, I ask all the apprentices here to think about the above questions. I hope someone can give me the answers after this week's class."
The class continued until the end.
After class, the apprentices walked out of the classroom one after another. Luo Xi put away his books and called Nicole next to him to prepare to go for lunch together.
"Give me a moment."
Nicole sat at the table and did nothing but asked Luo Xi to wait for her. No matter what Luo Xi asked her, she just said to wait a moment.
Soon, all the apprentices left the classroom, leaving only him, Nicole, and a black cat basking in the sun on the windowsill.
Nicole glanced at the direction of the classroom door and confirmed that there were no other apprentices. Then she suddenly asked Luo Xi like a thief: "Tell me honestly, did you already know the answer to Madam Catherine's question?"
Luo Xi: ".What are you talking about?"
Nicole rolled her eyes at him and said, "Stop pretending. I was watching your expression the whole time. My father had the same expression when he had something to hide. There's no way I was wrong."
"You just don't want to stand out and make other apprentices jealous of you, so you pretend not to know. Am I right?"
Luo Xi opened her mouth: What a bratty kid She sat up straight and said to Luo Xi in the tone of Lady Catherine: "Well! Then, apprentice Luo Xi, please answer me, what is the essence of magic?"
Seeing this, Luo Xi no longer hid it and said straight to the point: "It's the rules."
Nicole asked confusedly, "Rules?"
Luo Xi nodded and explained in detail: "Everything in the world is an element. Elements operate according to countless specific rules, and their operation and changes have evolved into the world you and I know. The wind flows to form clouds, and water gathers to form the sea."
"From the vastness of the universe to the diffusion and evaporation of a drop of water on the ground, these are actually changes caused by the movement of elements, and the direction of these changes is determined by the rules of their movement."
"Through spells, we can communicate with the elements and change their operating rules to the rules we need according to our expectations."
“This is magic.”
"If you master the rules of how elements work, you will also master magic. The magic we learn is actually learning the rules of how elements work."
"So, the essence of magic is the rules governing the operation of elements."
Nicole's eyes were wide open, and they were full of little stars of admiration.
She said in disbelief: "Oh my God, Luo Xi, you are so amazing. What on earth is in your head? You thought of so much in just a short while? Why are you so amazing when we are all apprentices?"
"It's so infuriating. It's so infuriating."
Ha…ha “No, I want to go to the cafeteria and have a big meal!”
Nicole puffed her cheeks, then angrily pulled Luo Xi out of the classroom.
Neither of the two people who left noticed that the black cat that was basking in the sun on the balcony had sneaked into the classroom at some point and had been staring at Luo Xi blankly, like an apprentice listening to a lecture.
The sunlight shines through the window and casts the shadow of the black cat on the wall next to it.
Shortly after the two left the classroom, the shadow began to stretch and deform, twisting and changing, and finally transformed into a human figure.
At the same time, the black cat in the classroom had disappeared, and was replaced by a fat old witch.
It was Lady Catherine, who had long since left.
The black cat is actually the contracted pet of Witch Catherine, and is closely related to the magic she has learned. Through this pet, she can switch between space and form freely, and share information.
Because of this, she naturally listened to what Luo Xi said just now.
Although she had seen many talented apprentices over the years, Lady Catherine's eyes were still filled with surprise at this moment.
"What a cunning little rascal!"
She commented like this for a long time.
Time flies and a week passed quickly.
This week's main courses are basically centered around basic magic knowledge, and after a week of study, everyone has a basic concept of magic.
After the last class of this week, Catherine said to the apprentices, "Apprentices whose spiritual power reaches 1 or above can try to condense the will rune according to the content of the book. The first three who condense the will rune can come to me to receive the reward of two magic stones."
The main purpose of training during the apprenticeship period is to condense will runes in the spiritual sea of consciousness. There are a total of 10 will runes, and the level of apprentices is also divided according to the will runes.
1~3 pieces are elementary, 4~6 pieces are medium, 7~9 pieces are advanced, and if all 10 pieces are condensed, you can sprint to the wizard level.
Will Runes are the basic channel for communicating with elements. Only with Will Runes can one communicate with elements, rewrite the operating rules of elements, and use magic.
"Everyone, please work hard. We will speed up the process and try to let you learn your first spell within three months."
"Yes, ma'am."
The apprentices went towards the dormitory with great interest. They all came here for the mysterious supernatural power. Now that they were about to master magic, everyone was full of anticipation.
Luo Xi also returned to the dormitory as soon as possible.
After this period of hard training, and practicing with the system for more than 20 days, his mental power has just reached 1, which has met the requirements for condensing basic will runes.
Condensing runes is actually a very complicated matter. It usually takes several days, and it is inevitable that there will be many failures along the way.
Perhaps he was too eager to experience the wonder of mastering magic. After thinking about it, Luo Xi decided not to condense it himself. Anyway, he had been stockpiling it for more than 200 days, so he might as well use it to spend some of it.
[You begin to condense the rune of will, concentrating and keeping calm. ]
【Two days have passed, and you have not succeeded. 】
[You begin to condense the rune of will, concentrating and keeping calm. ]
【Two days have passed, and you have not succeeded. 】
[You begin to condense the rune of will, concentrating and keeping calm. ]
[Two days have passed, and you have successfully condensed the will rune. ]
[Basic Will Rune +1. ]
A wonderful energy quickly surged into Luo Xi's mind, and in an instant he felt that his thinking consciousness seemed to have opened up some unique channel, connecting with all things in the world.
It's like a mobile phone connected to the mobile network and a computer connected to the Internet.
The world seemed different at this moment. He could easily feel the elements of all things in the world and communicate with them.
"Then comes the magic!"
Luo Xi took out the parchment scroll given to him by Wizard Luke, which contained a spell model of "Water Polo".
In fact, he had taken out this scroll to study it many times in the past few days, and even used the system to spend several days on it trying to learn the spells in it, but in the end he failed without exception.
Obviously, if the prerequisites are not met, no matter how much time is spent, no results will be achieved.
"So, what if it's now?"
[You begin to build the spell model "Water Ball Spell", concentrating on it and forgetting to eat and sleep.]
【Ten days have passed and you have not succeeded.】
If it doesn’t work once, try again. If it doesn’t work in ten days, try twenty days, thirty days!
[You begin to build the spell model "Water Ball Spell", concentrating on it and forgetting to eat and sleep.]
[Twenty days have passed, and you have successfully condensed the magic water ball technique.]
[Obtained: Apprentice-level spell "Water Ball". ]
A large amount of tedious and complex knowledge flowed into Luo Xi's thinking consciousness, and blue elemental rays of light surged into his spiritual sea of consciousness, quickly interweaving into a spell model.
After a while, Luo Xi opened his eyes.
He raised one hand with his palm facing upward and his five fingers bent, and uttered a short runic syllable, which translated into: Water Polo.
“Crash!”
The water element particles floating between heaven and earth became active at this moment, as if there was some strange attraction in Luo Xi's palm, and they rushed to gather in that palm.
They began to rotate and condense rapidly in Luo Xi's palm according to the newly written rules.
After a moment, a water ball the size of a rubber ball floated in Luo Xi's palm.
"Gulp~" Luo Xi swallowed his saliva involuntarily.
Looking at the water ball floating quietly in the palm of my hand without the help of any external objects, an indescribable emotion surged up.
Excitement, excitement, disbelief, and a pounding heart.
It was not until this moment that he truly felt his identity as a wizard's apprentice and truly felt the mystery of magic.
At this moment, he just wanted to say: "Magic, here I come!"
