After twenty days of repeated practice, Margaret began to master some of the ways to store her mana. Although the Ice Princess of the Winter Kingdom www.biquge.info qualified to study magic, Golia had no time to teach her about magic, and all magic-related exercises and knowledge were instructed by Luciano, a "beginner" in destructive magic.

Margaret didn't know how well Luciano mastered other types of magic, but she was sure that Luciano wasn't good at destroying magic, as she had surpassed Luciano when she first came into contact with it.

"Your mana has increased a little more today," Luciano helped Margaret increase the amount of mana her body could store, following the way Miss Goliath had taught, "enough to hit the 'Light Wheel' twice." The light wheel that Luciano was referring to was the same magic he used to kill the two bandits on the night the thieves entered the village.

This kind of destructive magic, which is based on the magic used by the user, can be deadly, but its power has a lot to do with the user's ability, and even the user's personality can have a certain effect on this type of magic.

Luciano claimed to be a weak and timid man, so the light wheel he hit could only fly at an extremely slow speed, and if he had used this magic with a brave and decisive person, it would have been impossible for the second bandit to dodge the light wheel that night.

"Will I finally be able to hit the light wheel twice?" Magalet was excited, she was very accomplished about her hard work during this time, especially on the tenth day of learning magic, when she hit the first light wheel - when the branch of the big tree was cut off by the light wheel, she suddenly felt that she could also protect herself, and no longer drag down her brother Jack and others because of her incompetence.

"Yes, you have enough magic power to hit twice, but the power of the second time will definitely be much weaker, and..."Luciano stole a glance at Margaret's chest, and he immediately turned his head away when he was almost aware of it, "And you will become very weak after the second light chakra, and I will have to support you back to rest when the time comes..."

Margaret felt a little uneasy at the thought of her weak appearance, the experience of being captured by the bandits was still vivid, and the fact that her body and mind were at the mercy of others was the most disgusting thing in Margaret's heart. She didn't want to be dependent on others anymore, and she didn't want to show her weak side to others, even if this young man named Luciano was her current teacher.

"I... I'll try my best to control the consumption of mana!"

"Alright then, get ready, I'll confirm the target for you. With that, Luciano walked off into the distance and placed a thin plank on a long wooden shelf, which was Margaret's target.

The place where the two of them stood was a very spacious garden, a garden much lower than the city level, which was part of the dungeon, and the passages of the garden connected to the other dungeons were the only ones in the open air. In the center of this garden there is a tree with a thick trunk that five people holding hands cannot fully hold its trunk. Its foliage is like a dark cloud in front of the moon, blocking most of the garden sky and absorbing all the sunlight, so you will feel especially cool when standing under the big tree. The number of roots is also terrifying, and the entire rectangular garden is almost entirely above its roots, larger than the central square of Doret City.

According to Luciano, the tree had been planted by Miss Goliath since she came here, but she did not expect that the seed of a small tree would grow into such a towering tree in just over a year. All the citizens who saw the tree were amazed, and they thought that it was the tree of life that Goria had cultivated with magic, and that it was a miracle of the goddess.

Margaret stood twenty meters away from the wooden frame, which was only ten meters away from the beginning, but Margaret had hit the target accurately with the light wheel she had hit the target the first few times, so she chose to go farther this time. At the same time, the target this time also became a plank less than five centimeters thick, and the last time it was a long branch.

"Ready!" Luciano gave a thumbs up next to the wooden frame, and when he saw that Margaret was also giving a thumbs up, he immediately walked away to the side.

Margaret held her breath and focused, feeling the magic in her body. A short incantation was silently recited in her mind, and a pure white wheel of light flew over the wooden frame out of nothing!

The light wheel flew fast, more than three times as fast as Luciano, like a bird swooping down on the water.

With a "click", Magalette struck out the smooth wheel and cut the wooden frame supporting the plank in half. The light wheel shot from 20 meters away did not hit the target, but only hit the wooden frame half a meter below the target.

"Failed," Margaret leaned over, gasping for air. This was the fifth time she had used this magic, but this time she consciously controlled the amount of mana consumed, and because of this unskilled move, she lost her aim and hit the light wheel without fully aiming.

Luciano came over and said, "It's okay, I feel like you need to concentrate more, and when I first learned magic, Miss Goliath told me that concentration is a compulsory course for all magicians, and if you can't concentrate all of it, it will have a great negative impact on the magic you cast." ”

Margaret listened attentively and took the other man's words to heart. For someone who is new to magic, these experiences are what she needs most, and Luciano doesn't hold back, which is something she is very grateful for.

"I really didn't get my full focus this time," Margaret straightened up again, and she began to feel the magic left in her body, "You go and get ready, I'm going to try to hit the second glowing wheel." ”

"Good. Luciano took out a wooden shelf again and placed a long branch on it. This time he suggested that Margaret walk back to the ten meters, after all, the first time she cast her magic, she had already consumed most of her mana.

However, to the surprise of both of them, the second light wheel became very thin, as if it were transparent. It was also so powerful that it could not cut off a branch that was only the thickness of a finger, but it left a shallow mark on the branch, as if a very thin and sharp piece of paper had been cut across the branch.

Although the power was small, this light wheel had already consumed all the magic power in Margaret's body. As St. Goliath had admonished, those who used up all their magical powers, whether ordinary or magician, would become very weak, and the degree of weakness was related to their constitution, and a delicate young woman like Margaret immediately collapsed on the grass due to exhaustion, exhaling heavily.

Luciano went to get some water before returning to Margaret, and Margaret was finally able to sit up on her own after resting for more than ten minutes, but at this time she didn't have much strength, and Luciano could only chat with her beside her.

This shy teenager claimed to be an orphan, the son of a mercenary. The mercenary and Miss Gloria were old acquaintances, so when the mercenary died, Miss Gloria brought him back to live with the other orphans who had been adopted by Miss Goliath. In fact, the person who took care of him and arranged his life was not Goliath, but Goliath's sister, Miss Delia.

Miss Delia is a beautiful mercenary who takes great care of Luciano and of course the other orphans. At first, Luciano was treated differently by Miss Delia, who had him taught to read and write, but taught the other orphans to wield swords with crossbows. At that time, Luciano thought that it was because of his physical problems, so Miss Delia asked him to do the lightest work. Then Miss Gloria went to the place full of orphans and took him to another place. The orphans of that place were learning ancient scripts, those that had long since ceased to circulate on the mainland. But at that time, Luciano noticed a difference in the new environment, because the orphans who were selected to learn ancient characters were very intelligent and few in number.

It wasn't until he was about fifteen years old that Luciano was really introduced to magic. After reading the old books on his own, Luciano realized that he had been selected to study magic, but he had always been concerned about the fact that many of the orphans he had studied with him were gone, and Miss Goliath would not tell them where their classmates were.

"Well... I didn't expect your background to be so pitiful," Margaret had almost regained her strength and was able to wave her arms at will, "but you're also lucky to have the qualifications and conditions to come into contact with these." ”

Luciano smiled sheepishly, "I'm the worst qualified, and I'm stupid, I don't know why I was chosen to be in that group that studied magic... Ji'er, Felisty, and Ayrne, who studied ancient writing with me, were all smarter and more gifted than me, and even the gentle and intelligent Carrie didn't join that group, and I don't know why I was chosen..."

"Isn't Carrie a magician?"

"No, she had been with Miss Delia before she returned to Miss Delia," Luciano was a little sad at the mention of Delia's name, "I don't know how Miss Delia is doing now, Miss Delia has never told us about her sister's situation. ”

Margaret is not interested in what Miss Delia is, she is only interested in other magicians who use magic. Because she cared so much about what Golia had said that day, "There is only one magic needed on this continent, and that is the magic that follows my will." ”

This sentence has always haunted Margaret, because she knows very well that she cannot become a weapon of the Saint Goria or Theoguna Empire, her heart has always been connected to the kingdom of Cose, and everything she does is not only to make herself independent, but also to become a person who can contribute to her mother country, which requires the support of magical knowledge.

"That's right... Miss Margaret, a man of such dignity as you... Have you ever killed someone?"

"Of course not. ”

"But anyone who wants to learn destruction magic can become a mage with blood on his hands," Luciano was a little frustrated, "I'm not really good at destruction magic, but I also know that I need this kind of magic, otherwise I won't be able to protect the people I want to protect." He remembered the crucial moment of the Battle of Doret, when the whole world stood still.

Margaret rested her chin on her knee, "If for something to protect... That's homicide... I can too!"
