"Hey, Rafipol!" Lucina's heart was so big that she immediately didn't care about the details - she even seriously summoned the gargoyle: "Hover over this cage and don't move, get ready to take cover!"

Although he couldn't actually see the cage, the gargoyle immediately understood the owner's meaning, and flew very quickly and lightly, hovering steadily over it.

It was also apparently aware that it was on top of something with a strong surge of magic. This was especially true after another sudden screech of scraping metal inside the cage.

Every time this noise sounded, the guards became extremely nervous.

The sound made Aya unable to remain patient, and immediately demanded that Guladan tear off the heavy-looking black cloth and reveal the mystery of what was hidden underneath. With a heavy roar, the stone demon grabbed the huge black cloth, revealing the secret object beneath it.

However, what they really saw confused everyone who had already prepared for the battle.

Everyone thought that the thing that was shrouded in black cloth and had a square shape would be a cage.

But while it was a cube, it was a large lump of dark red metal with a dim glow and flowing magical runes above it. The disappearance of this cover made the magical energy that Lucina perceived even stronger.

"What is this?" Looking at this strange piece of metal, one of the guards was dumbfounded on the spot: "Uh...... It's not going to explode, is it?"

"Don't get closer! what if it does explode?" hurriedly advised the guards to stay away, and Lucina, who was also confused, felt that this was different from what she had imagined: "Let ...... Let me study it as a professional. ”

"Whoa!" said Guladan as he was covered with the big black cloth and screamed as if he had lost his sense of direction and was running around. It wasn't until Rafibol and Vicol helped rip off the huge piece of cloth that it didn't hit the wall.

"Stupid you're going to forget it!" Seeing Guladan like this, Lucina suddenly felt stupid, and complained to the stone demon. At the same time, he released the frost spirit in his hand, allowing it to levitate freely beside him, and began to quickly enter a state of concentration, analyzing the mana flow and mana model of this metal block.

It's like being faced with a complex model that doesn't have any instructions to help you understand the assembly process, and trying to reverse the splicing method. If you continue to use the model as an example, then to achieve the goal, you must take the model apart step by step, understand how each component is assembled, and know where they should appear.

The same is true for analyzing the mana model - except that you can't really destroy its mana structure, you can only rely on the induction of mana flow to build this mana structure diagram in your mind.

Some people have a special talent for being able to see mana models directly with the naked eye for a short period of time.

And some spells, after casting, can also be done. The most studied of this kind of spell are the spellbreakers and spellbreakers. However, in the case of being able to parse the mana model normally, the accuracy of this spell is not very good.

But without an ordinary mage with this talent, it would never be easy to see the full picture of the mana model.

But you have to learn and understand the key points. But the question is, how to explain this very abstract concept to the apprentices in a more concrete way?

There's no easy way to do it, and there's no shortcut that works well. can only rely on the innate sense of magic and a lot of hard work. Many newcomers who are not gifted have to endure hardships when practicing.

Magic is really talented. Perhaps, this is one of the most important things about talent in the world.

But talent isn't everything.

Your magical qualifications are mediocre, so hard work will at least allow you to realize all the potential of this mundane qualification and reach the apex of ordinary mages. Even if the world above may no longer be within reach, at least you've done your best. Such a mage will always be respected by the majority of people.

If you don't work hard, you're nothing. The wizarding world is not only about strength, and it doesn't necessarily look down on the weak—but it certainly looks down on mages who don't work hard and waste their magic potential and magical talents. You must know that there are few magical talents, including magic control ability, etc., and some people have no real magical potential at all, and they can't cast spells and manipulate those items that need to be powered by magic.

Every magician academy has witnessed a group of people with ordinary qualifications, but who have done extraordinary things.

Their names have also left a strong mark on history.

In the Mage Academy, there are teachers who specialize in teaching mana analysis models and a set of training methods. Training methods are constantly evolving, but there have been few breakthroughs in the wizarding world. In the end, everything can only be left to the apprentice's own hard work. But...... At least it can make the process more productive.

After all, the wrong direction of effort will only make you farther and farther away from success, won't it?

Many mages have experienced the devastation of a tool when they were students. It's widely found in classes, exams, and assignments – and even in your nightmares.

That is a key prop that runs through all the courses in the training of mana model analysis, which is called the "mana cube".

...... It is also hated by students as "the box of the godsend".

Given the strict demands of her adoptive father, Manus, who was a professor at the academy, Lucina was not less angry with it. You can imagine how it would be to receive a Children's Day gift from her father, and an anticipating Ayalori excitedly opened the package and found that there was a mana cube lying inside.

The ups and downs of life, but that's it.

When she saw that thing, Lucina cried "wow".

Manus, who just wanted to make a joke, hurriedly took out the real gift he had prepared - a cute plush puppy, so that his daughter did not continue to cry.

"Huh, you were over 200 years old at the time, what Children's Day was there?" said Sebodat to Lucina in a playful manner.

"You want to take care of it! We Aya are innocent and innocent! You know a bastard?" Lucina retorted with a ball in her arms.

"Aya still spits dirty words, are you ashamed?" the ranger took the lead, and immediately responded quickly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Please maintain Aya's always civilized image, okay?"

"I'm civilized!never defecate in the open!" Lucina said without thinking, not blushing at all: Aya had no ability to urinate at all.
