One, two, four, one, who said that immortality is so difficult?
But don't say that she Hiiragi Asuka is in such a special environment that is relatively closed and rarely intersects with other abilities. Even those 'well-informed' magicians and martial artists, few of them have actually encountered thousand-year-old 'old monsters' in reality.
Although in both the real world and the magical world, there are actually quite a few 'undead species' like Evangeline and Pengraiya Kaguya and Oshino Shinobi.
For example, the pair of black and white princesses that Levi knows but hasn't seen for a while, such as the old youkai in the wizarding world who existed even before the birth of the Dark Gospel and have been 'active' to this day - yes, Levi is talking about the 'unknown truth' magician who is now hiding in Ma Fanliang's underground.
However, the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles, to which the black princess belonged, were quite 'famous' among magicians, a 'group' that no one wanted to encounter. But in fact, not to mention seeing it with your own eyes, even if you know the whole list, there are not many magicians now. Rin Tosaka has complained that many magicians are no longer true magicians. They are just a group of people who enjoy the benefits of magic inheritance, and use these powers that ordinary people can't grasp to gain excellence in the world of ordinary people for themselves and enjoy a superior life above ordinary people.
What is the pursuit of the roots, the sorrow of the magician, the long-cherished wish and so on. Even those who verbally shouted all kinds of great truths were mostly descendants of so-called famous families, which made Rin Tosaka feel that they were more like defending the dignity of his so-called nobility and the nobility of his bloodline, rather than the things that magicians had been pursuing for a long time.
The importance of the so-called pursuit, the identity of the martyr, exceeds the real goal. This is a very ridiculous and frustrating thing. However, the reality is that in this complex world, it is indeed very difficult to stick to one's original dream. Just like Rin Tosaka, she herself had a time when she was determined to follow in her father's footsteps when she was a child. But now look at the life she has with her troubles and troubles every day, but she actually enjoys it. In addition to spending a huge amount of money every month on gem purchases like her father in the past, what else is like her old-fashioned father who likes to maintain a meaningless demeanor and dignity, but also has a persistent heart?
Regardless of who is right or wrong, Rin Tosaka looks less like a traditional magician and heir to a magic family than her father.
Maybe there is Levy's influence in this, and it can even be said that it is all Lévy's fault. After all, this man has been a primary school student since Rin Tosaka, and many things are just understood by himself, but he became her guardian when he was actually ignorant.
No matter how incompetent and responsible Levi is as a guardian. The words and deeds of an adult in childhood, even if they do not reach the level of words and deeds, no one will say that they absolutely have no substantial impact on a child's heart.
Having lost her dream of following her family's long-cherished wish for generations, Rin Tosaka is not yet a salted fish as the Internet buzzword says. But he really has a lot less attachment to the world of magicians.
In addition to being accustomed to this, Rin Tosaka is still studying and improving his family magic skills. In fact, the magicians' peers, as well as those organizations and forces, are almost indifferent to the extent of indifference.
And as far as Lévy knows in this world, young magicians like Rin Tosaka are actually in the majority.
Probably because the 'control' of the world's cash on the supernatural has reached an unprecedented level. Once you try to 'commit a crime' with your own supernatural abilities, as long as you make a little more trouble, it will be almost difficult to escape the end of being punished.
The light comes from the wizarding world by Yuryudo · The magicians represented by T. Takaha have already filled the number of 'enforcers' among the supernaturals. And the other major forces also seem to have a tacit understanding that they don't want to be caught by others for reasons such as not wanting to be caught by others, and they are very strict in controlling those who can be involved with their own forces.
In such a situation, the world of the supernatural is becoming more and more peaceful. Although Lévy always felt that such a peace came a little strangely, the delicate balance was also quite fragile but could not be broken.
However, it cannot be denied that the word peace will indeed bring many different things to generations of young people. For example, human beings, and indeed most other creatures, are inevitably lazy.
It refers not only to physical and behavioral laziness, but also to psychological laziness, which is manifested in avoidance and indifference.
Just like in the world of ordinary people, those scholars are always making statements about the 'ruined' and 'degenerate' of young people in the new era. However, in Lévy's view, the inevitable result of the peaceful status quo and social stability is simply not completely solved.
When people lack a sense of crisis, they are indeed prone to becoming 'degenerate'. After all, those pursuits, those motivations, and even a lot of desires are imposed on everyone by a sense of crisis and pressure.
Except for those who are born with different personalities, it is difficult for the vast majority of normal people to force themselves to work hard or even sacrifice something under the premise of 'non-essential'.
Anyway, it doesn't affect life to be so lazy all the time. I have everything I should have, and I envy the luxury goods of those rich families and the power in the hands of the big people, but I also understand that it is too ambitious, and I will not try to make efforts with less than one ten-thousandth hope. In such a society, it is normal for young people to lose their motivation to struggle and become degenerate.
In the current living environment of the supernatural, it is gradually showing a little similar to those ordinary people.
The special power you have can cheat on the premise of not being discovered. But there is no need to think about anything, relying on strength to do whatever you want. And since it won't be of much use anyway, isn't it enough to master a little bit of power that can make you live better than ordinary people and become a 'human being' in the world of ordinary people?
No matter how great the power is, it is difficult to make a real difference in one's own life. And enough strength is not at all something that a person with mediocre talent like himself can hope to 'take back' by hard work.
