Chapter 32: Herman Possesses Magic

Disdain is despised, but after seeing that they can't send Naruto home, Kenneth and Mick have no choice but to take Naruto back to the dorm first, and then find another way.

It's just that when they walked out of the magic technology laboratory, Kenneth and Mick were stunned for a moment, but they unexpectedly ran into two acquaintances, who were Rickon and Heath.

Although Naruto is covered with a wide cloak and his face is covered by a hood, if you don't look closely, you will only think that he is a tall and mysterious man, but if you look closely, you will see Naruto's big furry feet exposed, and you will naturally realize that he is not human.

Seeing that this was not good, Kenneth hurriedly stood in front of Mick and Ming, pushed the two of them towards the dormitory, and greeted Ricken, "Hello, Rui, Ricky?" ”

"My name is Rickon, hello, Kenneth, we've met twice." Rickon wasn't angry, nodding to him.

"What are you trying to do with such sneakiness?" But Hiss behind Rickon asked in an unkind tone.

"No, nothing. Haha, see you later! With that, Kenneth pushed Mick and Ming and hurriedly escaped from their field of vision.

Seeing Kenneth and Mick's panicked expressions, Heath said in a strange manner: "Hmph, it doesn't look like it's doing anything good." ”

And Rickon said with a puzzled look on his face: "The companions of the two of them, a little strange......?" ”

"Well, what does that mean?" Hiss wondered.

"Will ordinary people's feet grow like Warcraft?" Rickon smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, it's none of our business anyway." ”

"Really? Kind of funny......" Heath's eyes flashed with excitement, and he had already made a plan with a flicker of his eyes, eager to wash away the shame of his previous defeat.

The previous three seniors were naturally the helpers that Heath had found, and they borrowed the name of Rickon. I have to say that Heath's consideration was very thorough, and he even thought of the possibility that Kenneth and Mick would defeat the three seniors, so he chose three seniors in the student council, the purpose was to make the two and the student president conflict. But he didn't expect all this to have a dramatic ending, instead of receiving withdrawal or warnings, the two were invited by the student president to join the student union, and directly became the head of the department, and became famous among the freshmen at once. This made Hiss, who had always been smooth sailing with his aristocratic status, so angry that he directly smashed the valuable vase in the room.

Since then, Heath has thoroughly regarded Kenneth and Mick as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, vowing to make them feel humiliated.

However, Ricken's unintentional words allowed Heath, who had ulterior motives, to successfully seize an opportunity for revenge and bring unimaginable effects to Kenneth.

Back in the dormitory, Kenneth asked Naming to stay in the Phil Mansion for the time being, while Mick and Mick took a break from a casual lunch in the dormitory before heading out to Calvin for a lesson in enchantment.

Now that the two have completed the first lesson of enchantment, which is to master the elemental affinity of all enchantment materials, it is time to start learning the real enchantment technique.

Calvin may be paranoid and unreliable because he is too obsessed with the study of double magic casting, but his comprehensive quality as a magician is beyond doubt, otherwise the academy would not have kept him in the academy under such pressure.

Having said that, when Kenneth and Mick saw Calvin standing on the podium with his upper vest and lower shorts, they couldn't help but doubt the decision of the academy's higher-ups.

I saw Calvin pick up a ten-centimeter thin iron rod and begin to lecture the two: "Enchantment is not a very difficult thing to understand in the end, it is just to add magic to ordinary props. The question is how to enchant. ”

"There are generally two types of enchantments. The first is relatively simple, which is to engrave the magic array onto the prop. This method is very crude and primitive, but it is better than simple and convenient, and its essence is the same as the early way of using magic, except for some first- and second-order minor magicians who live by enchantment, those magicians who call themselves 'enchanters' do not bother to call this method enchantment, of course, I will not teach you this method, because I don't need to teach you at all. ”

Calvin smiled, stepped off the podium and lay down on Kenneth's table, threw the thin iron rod in his hand to Kenneth and asked, "Kenneth, can you carve a first-order magic circle on this little stick?" ”

Kenneth stretched out his index finger and thumb to pinch the thin iron rod, and wondered, "Professor, this is impossible, is it?" ”

"Hehe," Calvin just smiled, then turned his head to look at Mick to the side and asked, "So Mick, can you do it?" ”

Mick looked at the thin iron rod between Kenneth's fingers and hesitated, "Maybe it can be done." ”

Calvin took a thin iron rod from Kenneth's finger and said to the two: "More than 800 years ago, there was a legendary magician named Harry Celeste, who carved a third-order magic circle the size of a fingernail on such an iron rod - the 'Great Fireball Technique', which is known as the pinnacle of the early magic age, and is still preserved in the First Museum of the Empire. ”

"However, not all magicians are Harry Celeste, and it is extremely difficult to carve a first- or second-order magic. So, after Adam ushered in the golden age of the Age of Magic, more and more magicians felt the inconvenience of this method. So, more than 500 years ago, the chief of staff of the Earth Dragon Legion, and one of the later members of the Hexagram Council, a sixth-order magician named Herman Sheril, combined the wisdom and experience of his predecessors, finally developed a second method of enchantment, and this method also brought great changes to the mage profession. ”

Satisfied with the inquisitive glint in Kenneth and Mick's eyes, Calvin threw the thin iron rod back, pointed to his head, and said, "You should already know the concept of mental power, right?" ”

Kenneth and Mick nodded.

"Good. The introduction of the concept of psychic power can undoubtedly be compared to the progress of the entire wizarding world compared to Abraham's first use of magic. After Adam, many magicians tried to apply spiritual power to the enchantment process, although they made some achievements, such as the invention of spiritual imprints (mental power can be attached and remained) and the discovery that spiritual power is plastic, but no breakthrough achievements were made, until Herman took advantage of the strengths of a hundred schools and proposed the theory of 'mental power mold' in the Wizards' Association. ”

"The main content of the theory of 'spiritual power mold' is to shape the spiritual power into the spiritual imprint of the magic array according to the plasticity of human spiritual power, and then attach this spiritual imprint to the props. The breakthrough of this theory lies in the proposal to shape the psychic force into a mental imprint similar to an engraved mold, and proposes a far superior enchantment technique, that is, psychic power enchantment, but it is generally referred to as 'Herman enchantment'. In this way, no matter how complex the magic array is, it can be attached to the props in principle. Of course, only in principle. ”

"In principle?" Mick wondered.

"That's right, theory is just theory. After Herman's theory was proposed, few people succeeded. The reason for this is not complicated, it is that this method requires too much mental power, requiring both huge mental power and extremely high control, which is almost impossible for ordinary magicians. Herman himself was a very proud magician, and he once famously said, 'A magician is a genius', and he didn't take ordinary magicians seriously at all, and he didn't want to improve his theory. If he could improve on it, his reputation would be no less than that of Abel Osiris, whom he regarded as his lifelong rival. Calvin shook his head and sighed, as if feeling sorry for Herman's theory.

"And then?" Kenneth asked.

Calvin smiled and continued: "The difficulty of Herman's enchantment is that it is difficult for ordinary magicians to shape the spiritual imprint of a complete magic array with spiritual power, and twenty years after Herman put forward the theory of 'spiritual power mold', because of Herman's prestige, many magicians' thinking has fallen into a dead end, that is, must a complete spiritual imprint be shaped and attached to the props at the same time?" In the end, a young magician named Jacob Turan broke through this misunderstanding, he tried to divide the spiritual imprint of a magic circle into several parts and attach them to the props, and was surprised to find that due to the spiritual power of a person, the fragments of the spiritual imprint would be spliced together into a whole on their own, and conform to the complete appearance of the person originally formed in his mind. This discovery is known as the continuity and integrity of the psychic force. ”

"As a result, Herman's enchantment became a magical possession that all magicians could learn, and thus a special mage profession was formed, that is, 'enchanter', which together with 'alchemist' and 'animal tamer' constituted the mage profession." At this point, Calvin also had a dry mouth, and he couldn't find his cup of water on the podium, so he took out his staff and performed the water flow technique, and drank the water in one gulp.

Mick looked at Calvin with disgust and asked, "Professor, I don't know where these water elements came from, is it really okay for you to drink them so casually?" ”

Calvin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, the water element is pure, and the water flow it changes into is the purest water in the world, so what is there to worry about?" ”

Mick tugged at the corners of his lips to say he couldn't, but Kenneth nodded approvingly.

"Okay, your task this month is to successfully use your spiritual power to shape the spiritual imprint of the first-order magic array, I think with the talent of the two of you and Herman's standards, it shouldn't be too much to ask of you, right?"

Mick nodded rather easily, and Kenneth, who had barely reached the first-order level of mental power, immediately collapsed.

————————

After an afternoon of attempts, neither Kenneth nor Meek were able to create a complete spiritual imprint. They have to form a fixed pattern of their own spirit according to their own will, and it is a very subtle feeling, and the slightest distraction will be lost. In terms of mental power, Mick is sufficient, and what is lacking is the control of mental power, which has no other shortcut than constant exercise. As for Kenneth, I'm afraid it won't be possible to reach the goal in a short time.

Two days later, when the two of them returned to the Phil Building from the laboratory exhausted, it was already past nineteen o'clock in the afternoon, and what was waiting for them was the gloomy faces of Brandon and the others. I saw everyone sitting around the dining table, and Brandon slammed his fist on the table, and said categorically: "We must snatch Ming back!" ”
