124, jealousy (2)
The decision to agree to Princess Anna's proposal to return to Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry today is a wise one!
When Talos and Princess Anna were in the auditorium and asked by Professor Ambery to give an impromptu speech to the 100 students present, he had only one thought in mind.
In fact, before that, Talos had already reaped a small wave of jealousy-based power, when Professor Ambory forwarded a student's question to him, and he effortlessly gave a brilliant explanation.
How could they possibly resist jealousy?
Professor Ambery explained the key points of the infrared detection spell casting, and sat in the audience the inventors of the spells who had been approved by the Naga Kingdom's highest magic organization, Eternal Tides, and were about the same age as them.
What's more, the spell inventor was their classmate four months ago!
In the past, although Talos was very good, the special environment of the school temporarily put them on the same level, there were gaps, but it was not enough to make people despair.
But now, Talos has transformed into a bloodline knight, a second-order, and has returned to school with Princess Anna.
The desire in their hearts made them realize very well that what Talos had now was exactly what they were after, at least one of them, but they were also very aware of the price it would take to reach such heights.
It is this clear and rational perception that presents the facts to them as they are, and which inexorably gives rise to an anxiety that arises from the gap between reality and ideals, and the stark contrast between what their peers easily obtain and what they cannot ask forβthat destroys all the peace of mind that is used to hide their emotions and transforms them into a flame called jealousy.
Talos was able to accurately capture the true emotions on their faces that they tried to hide but ultimately failed to look at without even having to look at their eyes with the help of Soulfire's special vision.
"Looking at your young, energetic eyes, I feel that I should share ...... with you, even if it were not for Professor Amberry's insistence."
Although Talos was not raised as the first heir like Emma, a makeshift speech was not difficult for him.
He took this opportunity to look back on the full school life in the past, and expressed his envy that the students present could continue to study at Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and by the way, he gained a wave of strength.
The orange soul fire jumped violently twice, and a black dot appeared in the center, slowly spreading, like the scene before the last appearance of the earthly python.
Talos knew that the power of jealousy had grown to the point where it could manifest itself in a concrete form, and that he was one step closer to opening the Temporary Seal Door.
After a short fifteen-minute speech, the next session was facilitated by Professor Ambory, which made Naga even happier.
Talos had a hunch that [Jealousy] could make a qualitative leap forward today, and given his popularity, he could gain a lot by walking around Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"Welcome back to Rhea, Talos, would you like to share with us your current situation? β
"In fact, the points you mentioned happen to be my biggest problem at the moment...... If I had to describe it in one sentence, I think it would be an interesting shift. β
Talos became interested, sat down on the stage, and talked eloquently: "I used to encounter a very boring situation at school, when people heard that I was from the Nepton family and was the son of the Lord of the Black Sea, the tone of the conversation immediately changed. β
The students cheered on Talos's little humor β despite the fact β and the power that came from the void.
"This continued into my military service, and I remember that in the first few days of my arrival in Strasbourg, I had a very pleasant time with the soldiers in the barracks, but after being forced to truthfully say the words Evelyn, Nepton, Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which were unavoidable in my life experience, the whole squad fell silent, as if in a collective silence spell. β
"This is the result of the labeling of my life, and everything is carried out in an orderly manner: the Neptune family is from a family and has a very good talent for spells, the son of the Lord of the Black Sea, who is likely to be powerful in the future, and the genius mage, who is destined to have great achievements in the field of magic, everything seems very natural. β
"But that's exactly what I hate being labeled with, and it weakens my own efforts, as if I was able to achieve everything I am today because of the labels themselves. β
"But no, whether it's opening a meditation space at the age of 16 or inventing infrared detection, it's the result of my own efforts, not that just a label on my body can be immediately transformed into reality. If anyone happens to know such a magical spell, be sure to remember to inform me. β
Another chuckle, and a murmur of voices coming at Talos.
Talos sensed it, and saw that the orange flame light was mixed with a few wisps of mist, outlining a pattern that symbolized jealousy.
"Probably because I want to take these labels off my body too much-" Talos pointed to himself dressed as a knight and then to Professor Amberi in mage robes, "As fate would have it, I had the privilege of experiencing a transformation from a mage to a bloodline knight, and so far it seems that everything is not bad." β
......
The seventh question is more straightforward and practical, from a male Naga: "Actually, many people, including me, are very curious about how you invented infrared detection. β
"It's simple, because I'm good at this, I didn't mean to, I just would. I'm good at spells from the spell faction, and when inspiration strikes, it all comes naturally. β
"That's it?" the owner of the voice was clearly very dissatisfied with such an answer.
"Based on your tone and the content of your question, I think the most appropriate answer isβof course not! It's not for nothing that I've repeatedly mentioned that I'm good at spell factions, it's the process by which I gain experience and knowledge. β
"Let's put it bluntly, if it takes 100 knowledge to invent infrared detection, I usually have accumulated 99, and the inspiration is the remaining 1. β
"So what you really need to pay attention to and understand is not the background of Talos Neptune's invention of infrared detection, but to think about when you will be able to get the accumulation of 99, after all, inspiration is the most insignificant thing for everyone here. β
"You know, this is the Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the place where miracles are best performed, and one of the closest miracles to you is currently sharing the truth about miracles. β
The soul fire trembled, and the embodiment and incarnation of jealousy finally appeared.
