The sun in winter is different from that in summer, it comes for a short time, and it is not so reluctant to go down, leaving the world in darkness - especially where there are lights. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The living conditions in the southern area are much better than those in the western area where the Brunei dormitory is located, and the most prominent point is that there is a very complete street lighting system here at night, even stronger than the Thal village where Brunei used to live, so when he walked to William's house and subconsciously raised his head to look, he found that the sky was already dark.

William didn't seem to have much to sigh at the passage of time, and at the moment he was completely immersed in shock and apology, and shouted as he opened the door: "Teacher...... Mr. Carlisle: You're saying that you've abolished the magic emblems of the past?"

Brunei followed William through the door, looked around deliberately, as if to make sure that no one else was there, and then raised his right hand in a sneaky gesture and removed his heavy gloves.

The pentagram glowing faintly was on the back of his hand, and the top corner glowed a little brighter red than the rest.

"I'm a federal mage now. Brunei smiled flatly—at least the voice he made made made it feel like the look on his face behind the mask, "You see, being a mage won't make you so embarrassed, right?"

William's face was half moved, half regretful: "Oh, this thing is ...... Teacher, I'm so sorry. If I could have thought a little more about it beforehand—"

Brunei shook his head with a smile: "No, it's my own choice." You see, the life of an Imperial Mage in Academy City is too hard. Even worse than the people who couldn't transfer the magic emblem - one of my former colleagues, because he didn't have the magic emblem, was equivalent to twenty more standard units of salary per month for no reason. ”

"But the teacher has come—" William could not speak any further, his face flushed.

As if he hadn't heard it, Brunei continued to smile and said, "If I really want to say anything regretful, it's that the magic emblem I originally designed couldn't hit this time. Probably because there is still a gap between the Imperial and Federal systems. In the end, I had to use a slightly improved standard magic emblem. ”

The red on William's face was almost dripping blood, and he scratched his head desperately: "This-"

"Alright. I couldn't have found anyone willing to be my mage's acolyte in College City, and if I wanted to become a mage, it was almost inevitable that I would abolish the magic emblem and become a federal mage. In William's eyes, the face under the mask must be in pain at the moment, and he seemed to see that such comfort did not work, and smiled again, "Haha." Okay, didn't you say time was tight? I'll try it now and see if there's a chance to become a mage. If not, we'll at least have an extra night to adjust and figure things out, won't we?"

"Oh, oh yes. Teacher, do you know the method of trading mental power by federal mages?Well, shake hands, keep the magic emblems of the two of them as close as possible, and then adjust the frequency of mental power, and find that feeling...... William stretched out his right hand a little flustered, and shook it with Brunei. Soon, he felt the feeling that he could trade mental power.

"Teacher, are you ...... Really......" William swallowed.

"Alright, let's get started. Brunei smiled, "Because it is transformed, it takes about 60 standard units to reach the state of 'full mental power'. Is this going to be a burden on you? I didn't think it through, and if it doesn't work, I don't really care, and I'll find a way to pay it back later, though maybe a little slower. ”

William's expression became very stiff, and his eyes turned red: "No, it's okay. Okay, then I'll get started. ”

The spiritual power poured into Brunei's right hand like a stream of water, and then hibernation in the magic emblem, this was the first time that Brunei felt the surging feeling of other people's spiritual power, it was very special, not uncomfortable, but it was not comfortable.

After a minute, William let go of Brunei's hand: "Teacher, I feel the power of blocking. Have you reached full mental strength?"

"......" Brunei paused inconspicuously, as if experiencing some feeling deep inside, "Yes. It's special -- it's like a feeling of bulging. Okay - William, there's one more thing for you. Can you find me a quiet room, preferably with a mirror, so that I can be left alone? You know, I have the ability to draw magic emblems and extended patterns. I don't want to be disturbed by others in the process of becoming a first-turn mage. ”

"Of course, of course. William replied a little hurriedly, "I happen to have such a small room in this house. Speaking of which, it seems that it is indeed used to upgrade the magic emblem on its own. I was wondering what the hell I was going to do, haha. ”

............

William closed the door, leaving Brunei alone in what he called "the little room." In terms of size, this room is probably smaller than the entire house that Brunei used to live in, and larger than the adventurer's camp in the Endless Mountains, and the decoration is not too complicated, but it exudes a faint luxury in its simplicity.

Brunei sat down at a large table and gradually took off his clothes, and in front of him, in a huge mirror, a butterfly with a dark body and a pair of bright red eyes on its wings was gently fluttering its wings on his chest.

[Ha! I dare to say that you kid, you have abolished the original magic emblem, and you have to have something to scrap it. 】

“...... system, back to the emblem of magic. I don't even know how to draw an extension pattern like this. Brunei pulled off his mask and sighed softly. The butterfly's wings stopped flapping, its eyes closed, and the black faded to reveal its undertone, bright red on the left and blue on the right, glowing with a dim light that would not be obscured.

[Hey, hey. Seriously, though, you have to put on this "extended pattern", don't you?]

Brunei spread out the paper on the table in front of him, picked up the pen, and let it fully absorb the ink that also shone with a special light: "What do you mean?"

[Hehe, little Bruneith, do you still want me to repeat it? 】

[Therefore, the restrictions of imperial mages do not exist for you, even though your magic emblem is mounted on your chest, you can still receive and store other people's spiritual power like a federal mage - and you can actually have mage attendants. By the same token, if you want to become a mage, you don't need any Rausch "expansion pattern" to modify your magic emblem. 】

Brunei smiled softly, the dark red scratch on the right corner of his mouth was no longer so conspicuous in the not-so-bright orange light, and in a trance, he seemed to see the young man who had nothing in the mirror: "No, you are not my magic emblem." ”

[Hey, hey, heh. Again, the system laughed meaninglessly.

Brunei lifted the pen, but without the slightest nervousness, calmly pressed the pen on the paper, flowing unhurriedly, and at the same time, he could still speak in his heart: "You are my system." You, in my place as the 'Emblem of Magic'. ”

【...... But I can change my form as I like, and as I said before, you have no problem if you want to get me into your hands. In the same way, if you meet the conditions yourself, as long as I change form, you will be a mage. 】

The clumps of thorns grew on the paper, dark yellow, bright yellow, with only a few sparse light greens, not thick or dense, and even the sharp thorns on them grew sparsely. Brunei still smiled calmly, did not speak, and shook his head gently.

【Cut.】 Dead monkey without conscience. The system let out another sneer, and didn't say any more.

After a while, Brunei gently pulled the last stroke, raised his hand, and shook it, but not a drop of ink was thrown out of the nib.

Brunei lifted the piece of paper, attached it to his chest, closed his eyes, and read two sentences softly.

When he opened his eyes again, the paper was empty, and when he put down the paper, his chest, the wings were red and white butterflies, surrounded by thorns, and the thorn bushes were spreading in all directions, and the longest one hung down above his stomach.

Brunei gently drew two places on the thorn bush with his finger circles, and when he looked closely, he could see that the thorns in those two places were layered on top of each other, as if forming some special figure: "'silent chanting', and 'preoccupation'...... Indeed, this is not easy to see. Gerald, that old thing, is really very capable. ”

[Congratulations, Brunei Castro, on becoming a mage.] 】

The system's voice sounded, but unlike the usual lazy and malicious voice, it was a cold voice that appeared during the test, and to use the system's favorite word, it was called "mechanical texture".

[As a one-turn mage with an intermediate badge, your one-turn expansion pattern gives you two standing super magic skills, when using it, you no longer need to add special fields in special positions in the chant, you only need to generate ideas in your head to use it, and pay a certain amount of MP, you can add the effect of this super magic skill in the process of casting magic.] 】

[Silent chanting: Use before casting the spell, pay half of the MP consumed by the spell used, you don't need to make a sound during the chanting of the spell, and you can cast it smoothly by chanting it in your head.] 】

[Concentration: Consume 20 MP every 10 seconds to increase your attention to a specific event, and will not be disturbed when you are conscious and your mood swings are not excessively strong.] 】

"Well—is that the effect?" said Bruneith with a smile and whispered, "interesting...... Neither the books nor the materials describe it so precisely. ”

[Of course. Not to mention the description, their cognitive level is not up to this level of accuracy. 】

Brunei looked at himself in the mirror, his expression fading. After staring at it for a long time, he suddenly laughed again: "System." My character card -- that's what you say, right?"

[Brunei Castro, human, male, 16 years old.] Class: A turn mage. 】

"One turn mage...... A turn of mages - ah. Brunei repeated it twice.

The smile on the face of the young man in the mirror was even stronger, and the sinuous scar was also revealed from the shadows, making Brunei look a little strange.
