Chapter 22: Alyssa's Breakthrough
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you don't need to go through the dungeon in such a hurry, and it is the best choice to lay a solid foundation step by step.
After figuring this out, after failing to try to brush [Hustle and Bustle Seashore], in addition to honestly meditating every day, Xiwei just went to brush [Night Forest Depths] and accumulated various resources and props.
Although he opened a new dungeon called [Night Forest Center] after clearing the game with an A evaluation, he didn't plan to try it right away. In fact, Xiwei probably won't try a new copy until he realizes that he can get through [Hustle and Bustle Beach].
In this way, in the morning, I can save resources by brushing up on dungeons, and after lunch, I can lazily bask in the sun, and in the afternoon, I teach Elisa magic knowledge and meditate with her. Occasionally, I can take time to go around the mountains and catch a rabbit or moose, and improve my food.
It's not a bad day, if it weren't for the tattoo on the back of his hand, Sivi would have almost forgotten that he was going to establish a magic academy.
When she was about to accumulate enough resources to build a school building, Alyssa suddenly sensed her magic.
Xiwei helped her confirm that although it was very weak, the little girl had indeed gained her own magic through long-term meditation!
Looking at the happy Alyssa, Sivi suddenly felt a little ashamed.
In the practice of magic, condensing and perceiving one's own magic power is an extremely difficult hurdle to overcome, and it is also a barrier that distinguishes ordinary people from magicians.
If only one in a thousand people is a person with magical talents, then only one in a thousand people with magical talents can overcome this difficulty and become a mysterious magician in the eyes of ordinary people.
This is also because the so-called magic academy will admit many students, but only a dozen people can stay in the academy in the last class. Some of the older magic academies may be in a better situation, but only a little better......
In order to improve the success rate of their students' perception of magic, many mages of the Traveling School will give them some unique potions either externally or internally before meditating every day; Wealthy nobles can occasionally buy some precious perception potions to use for their own children who are gifted with magic.
It's a pity that the impoverished Xiwei doesn't have that kind of benefit to give the little girl, the little girl can only listen to Xiwei's words, insisting on repeating the extremely boring meditation every day, even if she is talented, it took more than a month to feel her magic after the end.
"Anyway, let's test your elemental affinity bias first." Putting away the guilt, Sivi said to Alyssa, who was still in the excitement stage.
"What a shame, teacher!" may be because she sensed the magic power, and the little girl's answer today was particularly imposing.
Elemental affinity bias is actually the so-called magic attribute that favors which element is more.
The large magic academies have their own magic guides for testing, but when it is Sivi's turn, they can only use the local methods that have been used since ancient times.
That's a test called 'Mizumi-style'.
Start by filling a glass of water, place a washed pebble in the water, and let the new mage apprentices who are tested slowly infuse them with their magic.
If the magic is biased towards the fire element, bubbles will bubble out of the bottom of the water, and if the affinity for the fire element is particularly strong, it will appear similar to boiling water.
If the mana is biased towards the water elemental, the surface of the water will rotate slowly, and if the affinity for the water element is particularly strong, a small vortex will appear in the center of the water cup.
If the magic is biased towards the wind element, the stone will float, and if the affinity for the wind element is particularly strong, the pebble will even float out of the water and float in the air. …,
If the magic is biased towards the earth element, the water will become cloudy, and if the affinity for the earth element is particularly strong, the pebbles will disappear and the whole glass of water will turn into muddy water.
Alyssa put her hands on either side of the cup and made a gesture as if she was holding something, but her palms did not touch the cup, and then she frowned as if she was trying to drive her magic into the cup.
"Stupid, do you think you're wrestling your wrist, you don't need to work hard to channel magic!" Seeing this, Xiwei couldn't help but speak: "Calm down, concentrate, feel your magic well, and then you can naturally guide it!" ”
It may be that Xiwei's guidance is really effective, or it may be that Alyssa has gradually figured out the trick, her originally frowning eyebrows have calmed down, and her face has been much more evaluated than before.
Gradually, the surface of the water in the cup began to rotate slightly, although it was not noticeable, but because of the centrifugal force of the rotation, the center also became a little sunken.
The water elemental is talented, and it seems to be almost at the level of the superior.
"Well done, worthy of being my student." Sincerely, Sylvie touched the girl's little head, and then put her left hand into the bag of her apprentice's robe.
However, this action was just for show, Xiwei had already opened the bronze storage box attached to the Dean Mage Tower, took out something from it, and pretended to take it out of his pocket and handed it to the girl who showed a happy look because of his touch.
It was a magic shortsword called [Aquamarine Short Sword], which was obtained by Sivi in the customs clearance reward after he first swiped the A-level rating in [Moonlight Forest Depths].
"This is what I gave you, well, it can be regarded as a reward for sensing the magic power."
"Really? Such a beautiful sword......" Alyssa looked at the aquamarine dagger in front of her.
As a magical item, the appearance of the Aquamarine Shortsword is naturally different from that of ordinary shortsword. The hilt is made of refined steel, the gauntlet is embroidered with mysterious but beautiful runes, the handle is wrapped in unknown leather so that it does not slip when held, and the end of the hilt is inlaid with a blue pearl the size of a coin. The blade of the short sword is made of hard crystals similar to blue crystals, and although the shape of the blade is not particularly regular due to the poor craftsmanship, it looks crystal clear and very beautiful.
Regardless of the attributes, just this sale can be sold for a very good price if it is auctioned in the city.
In addition to adding 3~8 base physical damage, this magic weapon also has an attribute called [Sea Blue].
[Sea Blue: If you use this short sword as a short staff to assist in casting, then all water elemental magic can reduce the chant by one byte, and the effect will increase by 5%. 】
Reducing the chant byte is useless for Sivi, who has always been silent, and the magic effect increases by 5%, which is not bad if it is not limited to water element magic, but the problem is that Sivi doesn't know water element magic at all now......
So to sum up, this short sword with a good appearance and attributes is the best choice to give to Alyssa.
As for why her teacher can take out a short sword from the pocket of a robe, this is not something that the little girl has to consider. In her mind, no matter what magical actions a magician makes, it is normal.
"It's normal for a teacher to give students magic items, so you should take them quickly. In addition, "Sivi, who forcibly shoved the short sword into Alyssa's arms, looked at the little girl who couldn't see her expression clearly with her little head lowered, but her exposed ears became red, and continued: "Remember to wrap this sword with something when you go back, and you will be guilty." ”
“…… Teacher Xie Lu, I will definitely cherish this sword very much! ”
Sivi, who didn't take Alyssa's words seriously, went back after asking the little girl to clean up the cup.
He sat cross-legged on the hardwood bed, his eyes closed, and remained silent until the room was dark as the sun went down, and he suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.
"It's true that there's no rush to establish a magic academy or something, but it would be ridiculous and generous if I, as a teacher, was caught up by a student. Sure enough, I have to work harder! ”
