Chapter 5: The Magical Apprentice
Yang Guang was very curious about the mage's magic tower, in his mind this kind of building was very mysterious, but when he came to the outside of Victor's magic tower, he was a little disappointed to find that it was just a small three-story building with a courtyard.

After Yang Guang walked in, he found that there was a cave inside, and the outside looked like a wooden building more than ten meters high, and the height of the hall after the entrance alone was more than thirty meters, and the top of the hall was full of shining stars.
This spectacular sight must have been shocking to the people of this plane, but Yang Guang, who was used to seeing the city that never sleeps, didn't react at all, just a little curious about what was going on with those glowing things.
Victor took Yang Guang to a mirror, which was engraved with the small words "Under the sky, only the stars are eternal", Yang Guang was gently recited because he had been cast by Victor to "know the language" spell.
Victor didn't explain much, but said to Yang Guang: "The mage is a polymath with superior intelligence, if you don't have the wisdom beyond ordinary people, even if you try hard, it will be useless. ”
After saying that, Victor began to chant a spell, and a mysterious power appeared from his hand, and soon submerged into Yang Guang's body. A few seconds later, ripples like water ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the empty mirror, revealing lines of text:
Name: Yang Guang, Race: Human, Gender: Male, Faction: Neutral and Kind.
Strength 13, Agility 12, Constitution 14, Intelligence 15, Perception 11, Charisma 10
Looking at these numbers, Yang Guang didn't quite understand what they meant, so he looked nervously at Victor, waiting for the verdict of his fate. Victor's face was expressionless, so that Yang Guang couldn't see any clues from his face at all, so he could only listen to Victor's slow explanation: "A normal human being, the value is between 10 and 14, and your intelligence can reach 15, which fully meets the basic conditions for becoming a mage." ”
After listening to Victor's words, Yang Guang breathed a sigh of relief, but he still looked at Victor, lest the latter say something like "but" in his mouth, but fortunately, this bloody thing did not appear in the end.
Victor led Yang Guang out through a side door next to the hall, through a curving hallway, through a courtyard overgrown with plants, to another room that was even larger than the previous hall.
As far as Yang Guang's eyes could see, there were all bookshelves carved with quaint patterns, and there were dense books on them, obviously this should be a library.
"This is my private library and a place for you to study for some time to come." Victor spoke, "As I said before, as an intellectual polymath, you must have a great deal of knowledge, but before you can read a lot of books, you should have a magic book of your own. ”
Yang Guang took a thick book from Victor, gently stroked the slightly rough cover, and turned the first page, only to be surprised to find that it was empty, and there was no text at all.
Then Victor continued: "Your own magic book, you have to copy the spells yourself. After finishing speaking, Victor handed Yang Guang a scroll and continued: "This is the magic scroll of the Tier 0 spell Light Technique, and I will teach you how to copy it in your own magic book. ”
Yang Guang immediately concentrated, listened to Victor explain the process and the matters to be thought of during the period, and then according to Victor's teaching, he easily read the slightly awkward spells on the magic scroll, and copied this "light technique" into his magic book.
Looking at the first page that was originally blank and a few lines of simple and mysterious words appeared, Yang Guang's heart couldn't help but feel a little more accomplished, and then Victor began to teach him how to memorize the spells in the magic book in his mind, how to meditate to restore mana, and how to recite spells to cast spells.
This process is much more difficult than simple transcription, although the spells are obscure, but after all, there are only a few lines, even if you pronounce it awkwardly, it is a big deal to memorize it like learning tongue twisters, it only takes more time, Yang Guang believes that he can always memorize them.
But when he meditated, no matter how much Yang Guang concentrated, he couldn't feel the mana flowing and increasing in his body. Without mana, even if Yang Guang recited the spell he memorized 1,000 times, it would have no effect, and if he couldn't take this crucial step, he would always be a magic apprentice who couldn't cast spells.
The ruthless Yang Guang stayed in the library every day, repeatedly reciting the spell spell of "Light Technique" to his magic book, and even his mind was filled with those awkward voices when he ate and slept, making him feel like he was back in the third year of high school to meet the college entrance examination.
I don't know how long it took, Yang Guang suddenly felt an indescribable touch while meditating, as if something was flowing in his body, he was overjoyed and hurriedly concentrated more to maintain this feeling of almost nothingness.
By the time the meditation was over, Yang Guang was clearly aware of the changes in himself, and there seemed to be a little more strange power in his body, so that the originally boring spells became vivid and clear in his mind.
Yang Guang recited the spell of "Light Technique" to the crystal ball on the table, and the spell that was originally a little dry and awkward suddenly became proficient and fluent. Before he could finish speaking, the palm-sized crystal ball slowly began to glow like a light bulb, and finally emitted a slightly dim light.
"It worked! I did it! Yang Guang shouted excitedly, and the voice full of joy echoed in the library, and under the light emitted by the crystal ball that had been applied to the "Light Technique", the originally somewhat dim room seemed to suddenly become brighter with this good news.
"Yes, 13 days to feel the mana and successfully cast the spell, your performance exceeded my expectations!" Victor's voice appeared, although he was not in the library during this time, he must have been following Yang Guang's progress, otherwise it would not be possible to come here to congratulate Yang Guang immediately after his success.
"Thank you, Mr. Victor!" Yang Guangqiang endured the ecstasy in his heart and bowed to Victor to express his gratitude.
"Teaching magic to the right apprentice is in itself the duty of every mage!" Victor returned with a smile and said, "So you don't have to thank me, just wait until you have enough strength to spread the power of magic like I did." ”
"Okay, I'll do it!" Yang Guang nodded solemnly.
