Ivan didn't know about the episode that happened in the blacksmith's shop, and it was getting late, so Ivan hurried to the branch to find Teacher Lucia.

When he came to the place where Lucia used to live, he found that the person was no longer there, and when he met a strange male teacher, Ivan hurriedly inquired about the situation.

"Hello teacher, I'm a student of Miss Lucia, I want to visit my teacher, do you know where she is? ”

"Lucia, why is it so familiar, oh yes, you're talking about the new acting dean of Lucia, she's moved somewhere else. I'm in a meeting with the deans of the other branches, and she's been busy lately, so you'd better go back to her later. The male teacher said.

"That's bothering, thank you, teacher. Ivan didn't expect things to develop like this, it was getting late, and he couldn't wait, and the matter of the visit could only be talked about later.

After returning to the dormitory, Ivan found a magic doll on the table in the room, and after touching it, it turned into a voice and transmitted into Ivan's consciousness, "Come to me when you come back." It was Dean Will's message. It seemed that there was time to guide himself, and Ivan did not delay and went straight over.

"How's it going, what's the catch?" Dean Will asked with a smile.

"It's okay, I found the master, I have a basic understanding of iron, and the master is very satisfied with my performance. ”

"What I appreciate most about you is that you will learn this carefully, for magicians to strike iron is a disdainful thing, but any profession has its necessity. Blacksmithing is the basic industry of casting tools, and it has a certain connection with the crafting of magical items. Magical items are a broad concept that encompasses weapons and armor, staff accessories, robes and golems, and supports. ”

"What do you think of magical items?" Dean Will didn't instruct Ivan in his magical practice, but instead talked about magical items.

"Magic items are tools that help magicians achieve their goals, it can be weapons for fighting, rings to store items, magic lamps to facilitate life, magic books to help with learning, and even toys to provide entertainment. Ivan replied to Dean Will according to his own understanding, magic items are like technological items from previous lives, serving humans.

"You have a peculiar understanding, just to see it as a tool, magical objects are pursued as treasures because they are expensive, and people are obsessed with all kinds of extraordinary abilities. But you're right, magical objects are tools to achieve their goals, and you can't forget their meaning because they're precious. Dean Will made Ivan nod his head in agreement.

"I'm a bit far away, blacksmiths make iron tools for a living, but the importance of force makes blacksmiths mainly make weapons. Blacksmiths are ordinary people, and they are naturally mortal weapons, but there is no essential difference between this and magic weapons, the difference is only in the presence or absence of magic power. ”

"The so-called magic weapon is nothing more than a weapon made of magic metal, and then a certain magic circuit is constructed. Since weapons need to be forged and used by warriors, the makers of magic weapons are called forgers. The various magical items used by magicians are called magic tools, and they do not require excellent casting, only simple models and complex circuit construction. Building a magic circuit for an item is called enchantment. ”

Ivan nodded, this is very understandable, one focuses on casting, the other focuses on enchantment, Dean Will is a master of magic equipment, does he want to teach himself how to make magic tools?"

"The circuits all have something in common, they all belong to magic circuits, but the functions are different, so there are obvious differences. Enchantment is not a simple matter, it requires a lot of control of magic and the strength of mental power, and it is complicated to learn, which is why magic masters are very profitable but rare. The magic path requires a lot of resources, so many mages will delve into a craft as a means of earning money. ”

This should be a hint, right?! Ivan was a little apprehensive in his heart, the conditions that Dean Will said were very consistent with himself, was this a simple introduction or a hint of accepting apprentices? Ivan decided to try it anyway, anyway, he was still a student, and if he was really mistaken, he would not arouse disgust.

"Dean Will, what you said is so good, it has given me a great understanding of the world of magical items. Magician is indeed a profession that burns money, and it is different if you have special means!Money is not necessarily a good magician, but no money is not necessarily a good magician!So you are really great as a magic master!" Ivan brought the topic to the issue of money.

"It's not bad that you understand it that way, it's really important to have a means to make money, especially for people like you who don't have a background. Dean Will felt that Ivan's words were novel and reasonable.

"Yes, I really want to become a Phantage Master like you, speaking of which, I think I have the foundation to become a Phantage Master, Dean Will, what do you think of me?" Ivan circled around and finally revealed the fox's tail.

"You kid is so slippery, your tail is exposed! You are still far from becoming a magician! Learn your magic well, and when you learn it well, you will have time to talk about it." Dean Will laughed, unimpressed.

However, Ivan's eyes lit up, it seems that there is a drama in saying this, but it is really inappropriate to contact magic tools so early, and his focus is still on magic practice. "So, Dean, you still think I'm qualified! You're right, I'm still far behind, but one day I'll have the first results of my magic, please give me a chance. ”

"Yes, you are indeed a seedling, but you are indeed far behind, let's practice striking iron first. If you can become an Intermediate Magician before you graduate, and enter the Intermediate Magician Academy, I will take you as an apprentice. Before that, I can only teach you a little fur for you to practice your hands, and by the way, I will investigate. ”

Ivan was overjoyed, "Thank you, Dean, I will definitely work hard, so please continue to teach me magic, magic is the root of everything." ”

"When you encounter a great temptation and don't forget the roots, it's good! I appreciate you more and more, old man! Now I will explain to you the content of the meditation method, and you can ask me if there is anything you don't understand on the magic circuit. Dean Will laughed heartily, willing to teach Ivan something more.

Ivan made full use of Dean Will, a senior magician teacher, and asked everyone who didn't understand. Due to the rare opportunity, Ivan mustered up his spirit, and the speed of learning was extreme, greedily absorbing magical knowledge from Dean Will.

"You're such a little monster, hurry back, what time is it!Do you want to exhaust my old man?" Dean Will yawned and waved Ivan away.

The clock had already reached twelve o'clock in the evening, and it seemed that it had been squeezed too hard. Ivan returned to the dormitory with no satisfaction.

What a fulfilling day! Ivan felt that he had never studied so frantically, magic was so fascinating, how could Ivan dislike the time to study? Just like a game fan who suddenly has the qualifications to play professionally, will he dislike the time to practice?

Life is back on track, just a morning to start trying new magic circuits. In the morning, it was still an unhurried knowledge lecture, but in the afternoon, Mr. Jayne changed his methods to train the students, and the speed exercise became the quasi-head exercise. As for the night is the time for meditation, although the hundred forging meditation can't be done, but the ten forging is still possible, at least it has the effect, and when you really master the hundred forging, you can exert its greatest effect.

Forging is a matter of skill and feel, and Ivan can only practice one day a week, and the effect of learning is naturally greatly reduced. Except for the first time, the next two trips have not made that much progress. The old blacksmith was also depressed about this, what a good apprentice could not concentrate on learning to make iron. So Ivan's brothers became the old blacksmith's punching bag again, and every time Ivan came, he was uncomfortable looking at the resentful little eyes of the senior brothers.

It's been almost a month since the blink of an eye, and Ivan didn't feel the time fly by until recently when he heard his teammates talk about the team game.

"The academy holds a team tournament on the last day of every month on a non-Sunday, which is said to be tied to the allocation of resources!

"Yes, Mr. Jayne didn't teach us anything other than training our basic abilities, how can this team game be played!" Antar was also a little anxious, it was related to the allocation of resources, and no one didn't care.

"Maybe Mr. Jayne thinks that he is too eager to train in the first place, so he plans to let us get used to it first?" Qiao analyzed more rationally, she felt that the teacher would not delay the students' grades for no reason.

"But it's about resource allocation! I don't think we're weaker than others, so why don't we fight for it?" Antar said puzzled.

"Alice, what do you think, how should we play the team game?" Lynn pleaded Alice in reply.

"I think Jayne taught me very well! Training is really the most important thing, and as for the team competition, we try to do it. ”

"You're so optimistic, and although I didn't think about how good I was, I always felt uneasy about doing nothing. Ivan, what are you in a daze, hurry up and tell me what you think, you have always paid the most attention. Lynn turned to Ivan for answers.

"I think it's more important to focus on magic cultivation. "Ivan is indulging in new meditation methods and doesn't care about team matches.

"Let me answer you, actual combat training is gradual, and only by laying a good foundation can the results be better. Blindly devoting yourself to team training will only bring temporary results, but there are huge hidden dangers. I have my training plan, and although you will suffer in the front, the teacher assures that the results in the later stage are by no means extraordinary. I have always been opposed to this regulation of the Academy, which would only make students quick success, but this opinion has not been adopted. ”

Teacher Jayne lowered his head and said immediately, "I won't change my method, as for how you do it, that's your business, and I won't care if you apply to change teachers." ”
