The Holy See of Light, the Temple of Liberation.

Zero stood beside Wayne and Nasha without saying a word, his brows furrowed, his hands clenched into fists, and he quietly watched the disciples in the hall set up the grounds. Today was the day he did the magic awakening, and the result of the awakening would determine his stay in this place, so his heart was quite nervous.

Nasha looked down at Zero with a serious face, reached out and touched his head. Zero raised her face to look at Nasha, who had a gentle face, and the tension in her heart eased a little. Wayne stood in silence and saw Vangellis walk into the main hall, he stepped forward first, and Nassa pulled Jano and followed Wayne to Vangellis.

Wayne said solemnly to Van Gellis, who was dressed in the bishop's red robe in front of him: "Today's matter, please, please be sure to do a good awakening ceremony for this child." ”

Vangellis nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, this is related to his future life, and I will definitely cheer up." ”

"Thank you. Wayne said and bowed to him.

Vangellis was a little stunned, he stretched out his hand and straightened Wayne and said to him, "You don't have to be like this, this is the responsibility of the bishop, and besides, I have a good relationship with this child." ”

After Van Gellis finished speaking, he walked to the side to supervise the venue. Nasha opened her mouth to say hello to him, but the other party didn't look at her at all, and Nasha breathed a sigh of relief and didn't say anything. Zero watched Vangellis's back in silence, and then he touched the storage ring on his index finger with his left thumb and lowered his head in confusion.

At the entrance of the main hall, Avali accompanied Loviel and Leah to the temple. As soon as Leah arrived at the Holy See, she went to talk to Loviel, which is why they came to the temple hand in hand. Leah saw Wayne and the others trotting all the way, and when she got to Zero's side, she took his hand and smiled at him, and Zero looked at the simple and lovely Leah and smiled at her with the corners of her mouth. The Cretan family is a little nervous today......

"That's it. Vangelis said to everyone in the temple: "If you have nothing to do, please leave the temple, the magic awakening ceremony will begin soon." ”

After hearing this, the disciples in the temple walked out of the main hall one after another, and after a while, the door of the temple closed, and only Vangelis, the Cretan family, and Avali and Loviel were left in the huge hall of liberation.

Standing in front of the central pillar platform of the main hall, Van Gellis and Wayne looked at each other and nodded, and Wayne turned sideways to Zero and said, "Go Jeno, face your fate, no matter what the outcome, you are my son." ”

"Hmm. Zero agreed in a low voice, nodded to Leah beside him, and then walked forward.

As she passed by Loviel's side, she smiled and said to Zero, "May the Lord bless you, come on, Jeno." ”

Zero looked at her and nodded, then walked towards Vangellis.

Vangellis looked at Zero who walked in front of him, he pushed his glasses and said to Zero softly: "Don't be nervous, it'll be fine soon, you just need to relax and I'll take care of the rest." ”

Zero looked at Vangelis's elegant face and nodded, Vangelis raised his face and looked at the few people in the hall and said, "Okay, everyone present, please keep quiet, remember not to step inside the magic matrix, we are about to start." ”

Hearing this, everyone looked down at the ground in front of them, and looked carefully, the flat ground was engraved with various patterns, these are the inscriptions of the big magic matrix in the center of the main hall, if you look down on the whole hall from the top of the hall, you will find a huge magic array extending around the center of the column altar in the center of the main hall.

Leah took Nasha's hand and looked at the two people in the center of the hall nervously, Nasha also raised her other hand to hold Wayne's arm, Wayne looked ahead with a serious face, without words.

When everything was ready, Vangelis said to Zero, "Let's get started." ”

Seeing Zero nodding, Vangellis then said to him, "Stand on the other side of the altar and see the Soul Melting Ball on the altar?"

Zero walked across from Vangellis and looked at the basketball-sized transparent crystal ball that was quietly placed on the altar, and it was noon, and the sun was shining, and the sunlight poured down from the hole in the top of the main hall, shining straight on the crystal ball like a pillar of light.

Zero looked at the Spirit Melting Ball and nodded, Vangelis explained to him: "Later, I will cast magic, the Great Magic Array will be activated, and the Spirit Melting Ball will also levitate, as soon as you see it levitating, press your hand on this ball, and then channel the telekinesis into it, with your control of telekinesis, it should not be difficult." ”

"Good. Zero agreed.

"Magic Awakening is very simple and quick to cast, it is just a detection magic, which attracts the color of the light presented by the magical elements in nature through the fusion spirit orb, and then detects which magical elements the awakened person can resonate with. For example, orange-red light means you can use fire-based magic, aqua blue means water-based magic, wind magic is green, earth-based magic is dark brown, and so on. If the Soul Melting Orb alternately flickers with two or more colors of light, it means that you are a resonator of multiple elements and can cast different types of magic, understand?"

Zero nodded and said, "Understood, let's get started." ”

Vangelis didn't say more, closed his eyes, raised his hands in front of his chest and slammed them together, an invisible telekinesis spread out from his body, and a little golden fluorescence suddenly appeared in the hall, floating in the air and flickering.

Elemental Awakening - This is an elemental amplification method that can only be used after the magic has reached a certain level, through which the caster can "activate" the magical elements that resonate with it around them, and catalyze the silent magical elements into an excited state, so that they can more easily use their own mastery of other magic. It was the first time for Zero to watch people use elemental awakening at such a close distance, and he couldn't help but feel excited when he thought that he would be able to master this method in the future.

The straight sunlight in the center of the main hall was a little brighter at this time, and from a distance, it really stood like a pillar of light in the center of the main hall. The magic array on the ground suddenly lit up, and the complex matrix inscriptions slowly flashed white light on the ground, breathing slowly as if they were alive. There was no wind on Vangelis's body, and his hair and the corners of his clothes began to flutter slowly. He spread out his hands, and the words in his mouth came from his mouth, and the complex and obscure chanting sound came from his mouth, and the originally dead magic array activated as if it had been awakened from sleep, and the glowing lines also spread to the altar in front of him, and the soul melting ball quietly placed on it also levitated, and the orb itself also emitted a fluorescent glow.

"It's now. Vangelis opened his eyes and reminded Zero.

Zero hurriedly pressed his hands on the surface of the crystal ball, guiding his telekinesis into the ball, and as soon as he went deep into it, Zero felt that there was another more powerful telekinesis holding his telekinesis, and it felt like someone was holding his hand.

This is Vangelis's telekinesis, and Zero sighs in his heart at the strength of this telekinesis. At this time, Vangellis's mouth began to chant again, as his voice raised for a while, the words fell, he closed his palms, and the melting spirit ball in mid-air emitted a dazzling light, and the eyes of everyone in the hall were pierced and could not be opened, and everyone raised their palms to cover the light.

As the light faded, everyone slowly opened their eyes and looked at the Melting Spirit Ball in the center of the main hall, stunned for a while.

"This ......"

"What element is that, Aunt Avali?" Loviel whispered to Avali beside her.

Vangelis looked at the transparent soul melting ball that emitted a faint white light in front of him, frowned deeply, and sighed in his heart.

"No attributes, how can this be? This kid is so talented......"

Nassa let out a long sigh and looked at Zero with a look of regret on her face, she glanced sideways at Wayne beside her, who just stood there expressionlessly, not saying a word.

Vangellis turned his face and looked at the silent Wayne with a helpless expression.

Zero poked his head out and asked Vangelis in front of him, "Mr. Vangellis, is it over?"

Vangellis turned his face, looked at Zero and said quietly, "It's okay." ”

Zero put his hands down, walked up to Vangellis, and asked, "What kind of magic element do I resonate with......?" It's not colorful......"

Zero laughed awkwardly, and Vangellis's eyes showed regret, but he still smiled and patted Zero on the shoulder and said to him, "Jeno, you are very talented in telekinesis, as long as you keep your passion for magic and study hard, you can become an excellent ninja magician in the future." ”

"Nian ...... Nian ...... What is that?" asked Zero with a pale face, and asked weakly, his heart already full of mixed feelings.

"Enough. Wayne, who had been silent, opened his mouth at this time, and his stern and rigid voice echoed in the hall, which seemed very abrupt.

"I'm sorry, Jeno. Wayne looked at Zero solemnly and said in a deep voice, "You don't have what it takes to be a magician. ”

"What...... Zero, looking at Wayne with a pale face, his mind blank.

Wayne looked at Zero from afar and said, "Go home, from tomorrow, I'll teach you swordsmanship." ”

Zero stood in place with his head bowed, his eyes obscured by thick hair, and no one could see the expression on his face.

Nasha beckoned to him and shouted, "Come on boy, the ceremony is over......"

Zero silently walked forward, everyone present felt his loneliness, he clenched his fists, and walked in front of Wayne step by step.

Wayne looked down at him and said, "Don't be discouraged, we have words first, men must keep their promises, and practicing vindictiveness is not a better choice." ”

Zero gritted his teeth and stubbornly said, "I just want to learn magic......"

"You don't resonate with any of the elements, you know what that means? It means you can't use elemental magic, which means you're not qualified to be a battle mage. Don't you understand? Magic isn't for you. Wayne said to Zero with a grim face.

"But, but...... I can use a lot of magic, you see!"

Zero spread out his palm, and all kinds of elements condensed in his palm, and after a moment, various different elemental objects appeared above his palm, including flames, water droplets, dust, light spots, and ice particles...... Zero reluctantly looked up at Wayne, a pleading look in his eyes.

Wayne exhaled through his nose, he slowly raised his hand, spread his palm in front of Zero, only to see a "poof", a flame appeared above his palm and burned quietly.

"The simplest elemental aggregation, but anyone with the power of mind can do it, that's not magic, kid ......" Wayne told the truth.

Vangellis stood not far away and watched this scene, his heart full of regret. Vangellis knows that Wayne is not the kind of person who is unreasonable, and he will give people a chance, but after the opportunity is over, he will never give in again. In Vangelis's opinion, it was unlikely that Zero would continue to practice magic.

Zero lowered his head and lowered his arms, and his shoulders lowered with him, a deep sense of powerlessness permeated his body. Wayne stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, reassuring, "Don't be discouraged Jeno, I will definitely pass on all my life's learning to you, and train you to become a sword master who can surpass me." ”

Zero took a step back, Wayne was stunned, only to see Zero raise his face, look at him with a firm look in his eyes and say: "I'm not interested in becoming a sword master, I want to be a magician, even if I don't resonate with any element, even if I can only be a magician, I want to keep learning magic, I just want to waste my life on things that are meaningful to me." ”

"Do you know what you're talking about?!" Wayne couldn't bear it anymore and roared angrily, "Whether it's your family or your father, they all have such good fighting resources, but you want to learn magic!

Wayne's roar shocked everyone present, and Nassa grabbed his arm, but he broke free, and the father was truly furious.

"Jeno, don't apologize to Dad yet. Nasha reminded urgently.

"I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?!" Jeno replied with a frown, raising his voice.

"You're still unrepentant?!" Wayne raised his hand to fight down, but Nasha hurriedly grabbed him.

Wayne stared at Zero's eyes and said angrily, "Since you are so interested in magic, you must also know what the definition of a magician is. A person who can resonate with the magical elements in nature, manipulate the elements to rearrange and combine them according to the magic formation, and cast magic is a true magician. Why do you think I don't agree with you learning magic? Kid, you haven't been on the battlefield, you haven't seen the horrors of flesh and blood, and you haven't seen the horrors of the demons walking on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood. Because of the natural cultivation of telekinesis, the physical fitness of the magician is extremely poor compared to the warrior, and the chanting and casting of magic requires a long preparation time, when facing the demons, the magician will not even have the opportunity to chant the spell will be torn to pieces by the demons, if you don't believe it, you can ask Bishop Van Gellis behind you, he is also a person who has been on the battlefield, you ask him, how many magicians can survive being close to the demons? I tell you, not a single one! Unless you can become the world's top magician like Van Gellis, you will only be killed on the real battlefield! You have no chance, you know?

"To put it bluntly, you didn't even think about giving me a chance, you just made excuses, and you didn't want to add to the crime, so why don't you want me to learn magic because you, as a sword master, think that your son wants to learn magic, which makes you feel very ashamed!" retorted without giving an inch.

"yes! I feel ashamed!" Wayne shouted angrily at Zero, "I'm Wayne a sword master, who doesn't know who is famous on the continent? I don't agree to how many people want me to take him as an apprentice, because I just want to pass on my skills to my son!" I want to pass on all my life's learning to him, train him to become a sword master who can surpass me, if one day I die on the battlefield in the future, he can have the ability to support the entire Cretan family, can raise the banner of resistance against the demons, and lead the soldiers to defeat the demons completely! This is my long-cherished wish, I have been dreaming of this day, but my son wants to learn magic that I don't know at all! In the case that he does not have this qualification, he will not repent of dying! You say, do you know what is wrong?!"

"I'm not wrong!" Zero shouted as he stared at Wayne's angry face, "I want to learn magic, what's wrong with me, I pursue the life I want, what's wrong with me?!Why should my life be arranged by you?! If you want me to learn Douqi, I have to obediently learn Douqi, and if you want me to marry whoever I want to marry, I will marry with gratitude, what do you think of me?!I am not your toy!I am a person! I am a real person! I have my own thoughts, I have my own principles! I said I want to learn magic, I must learn magic!

"Bastard!" Wayne yelled at Zero's words, and was slammed down by Nasha's hand, and Vangellis's eyes were quick, and he rushed forward with an arrow to stop Wayne's palm before it fell, but it was still a step too late. At Nasha's exclamation, Wayne's palm slapped Zero heavily in the face.

Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Zero's figure flew upside down, and he was slapped to the nosebleed, and slammed into the wall of the main hall with a muffled sound.
