To Allen's surprise, the old magician not only did not criticize him, but praised him. You must know that before this, he had always been the opposite of the old magician's bad business. Unlike other students who prefer to spend time in mental meditation and specializing in magic spells, Alan prefers magic operations, according to Elvis's incomplete statistics, Alan is the most fragrant student in the whole academy who roasts a leg of lamb with fire magic, and the reason is mainly that no one except Alan is willing to waste precious magic on a leg of mutton. However, Alan did not let his craft go to waste, he found a tavern, and with the consent of the owner, roasted a leg of lamb for the guests, and since then, the boss's business has been much more prosperous, and many customers have admired the reputation of Allen's roasted leg of lamb, which is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and refreshing. Seeing this situation, Elvis immediately showed his superhuman business talent, adhering to the principle that scarcity is precious, under his guidance, Alan no longer frequently went to the boss's tavern to roast the leg of lamb, but occasionally showed his hands, to eat his roasted leg of lamb, the guest had to customize, so that the price of Allen's roasted leg of lamb doubled continuously. This later reached the ears of the old magician, and the old magician was half angry, and he couldn't believe that the magical genius he had worked so hard to select and cultivate had become a chef in the tavern. The old magician called Alan into his office and gave him a hard beating. I remember that at that time, Alan also asked rhetorically: "Teacher, didn't you say that magic is to make people happy and happy?" Hearing this, the old magician was almost stunned at that time, and he shouted loudly: "I am talking about making human beings happy and happy! "Aren't human beings made up of human beings, and aren't making human beings happy just making people happy?" Alan was infinitely entangled at the time, pondering the meaning of the old magician repeatedly, but it didn't matter anymore, because the old magician affirmed Allen's magical research again.

"Ellen, do you know what is most important to a magician?" the old magician was in a good mood and decided to take the test for Alan.

"Well, I think talent is the most important!" Alan scratched his head and said his opinion.

"You're not right, talent is important, but it's only the foundation, and with this foundation you can become a magician. For a magician, what is ultimately needed is not talent, nor mental power, manipulation, etc., but an understanding of magic. The old magician obviously didn't expect Alan to answer correctly, so he just said his opinion.

"What do you ......mean by magic, teacher?" Alan was obviously a little confused by the old magician's opinion, in his imagination, a great magician, apparently able to cast those calling wind and rain, The main factor that determines what kind of magic a magician can perform is undoubtedly mental power and magic manipulation ability, only with strong mental power can control enough magic elements, only proficient in magic manipulation, can make a large number of magic elements arranged and combined according to your wishes, this is almost an undoubted truth, but why should the teacher throw out a new idea of understanding magic.

"Teacher, I have been studying magic with my teacher since I was very young, and it has been almost fifty years now, but even so, I still feel extremely small in front of the vast ocean of magic, as if I still wander outside the magical world, and I don't even have the key to open that door. The old magician's tone was full of awe as he said this. After speaking, he stood up and began to chant a magic spell, Alan could hear that this should be a flotation spell in air magic, and as he chanted, a book on the bookshelf a few meters away suddenly flew out of the shelf, and then flew in circles around the room like wings, freely avoiding obstacles, and even being able to pass through the gap in the chair of just the right size, and finally the book flew in front of Alan before stopping, floating there quietly, and the old magician also stopped the spell.

"Alan, what do you think of the teacher's hand flotation technique? ”

"This is definitely the best magic I have ever seen, even Ms. Moxika can't match it, teacher, I never thought that a simple levitation magic could be used so beautifully, if only I could reach the level of a teacher in my life. ”

Alan didn't miss the opportunity to shoot the teacher's ass, but this time the fart didn't seem to be in the right place, at least the old magician didn't see any happy expression on his face.

"Allen, the magic of levitation has existed hundreds of years ago, and it is the way it is now, no matter how skilled and beautiful I am in using it, this only determines the level of my operation, and the magic will not change or improve qualitatively because of someone's operation level. ”

"Teacher, I don't understand a little. Alan scratched his head, a confused expression.

"Let's put it this way, Alan, a magician is strong because he can wield powerful magical powers, and a magician is great because he must have contributed to the wizarding world. Powerful mages may not be able to understand the principles and laws of the magical element. The great magician, on the other hand, can go deep into the inner workings of magic, understand how magic works and where its power comes from, they can change magic, create magic, and even one day they may have the key to open the door to that magical world, grasp the true meaning of magic, and the magical world will be different because of them. So, although your magic experiment is only a small magical research, as long as you are willing to follow this path, with your talent, you will definitely create greater achievements than others, and maybe you will become a great magician. ”

"Teacher, I don't know about anyone else, but you're already a great magician. You have established the Academy of Magic, creating a new way for magicians to teach their apprentices, and when a large number of magicians come out of this academy in the future, it will surely change the world completely. It's a lot better than creating a spell. ”

Alan made the old magician stunned, and in a trance, his bad student became the future star of the magic academy, and the old man's change was inevitably too fast. However, he didn't forget to slap the old man again, and this time he obviously slapped it in the right place.

A proud expression appeared on the old magician's face, although this pride was somewhat clouded by the request of Emperor Yus, but the old magician did not resent the emperor because of this shadow, but he was always grateful for the emperor's support.

"Alan, what you said yesterday in the Great Hall reminded me of a lot of things from the past. The old magician sat down on the chair next to him with a slightly heavy expression, took out his pear wood cigarette pouch, took two puffs, and then said earnestly:

"I took you away from your father back then, and I made a promise to him, but because the academy has been too busy all these years, I have to decide everything inside and out, and I do have to live up to my promise back then. Fortunately, although you often play a little clever, but after all, you have not done anything that violates the principles, and now you are a beginner in magic, as long as you maintain this passion for magic in the future, your achievements will not be below me, and it will not be in vain for you and my master and apprentice. ”

"Teacher, I have written down all your words, and I will not disappoint you, let alone my father. ”

"Alan, you're wrong. Your father's greatest expectation for you has never been to get ahead and prosper, but to live in peace. Alan, you've been here for more than three years, and in a few months, passing the graduation exams, you may choose to step into the outside world. At that time, you may not have the noise of the teacher in your ears, and the teacher will not be able to give you more help and guidance, so you must be extra careful and cautious in handling things. ”

The old magician patted Eren on the shoulder and stood up.

"Go back and think about it, if you have any ideas and needs, just come to the teacher, my door here will always be open to you. ”

"Thank you, teacher!" Alan stood up, gave the old magician a salute, and left the dean's room.
