Chapter 16: Reopened Training
In a state of uneasiness and anxiety, Naxi tossed all night.
He thought over and over again about the tragedy that Malfoy had told him about Katrina during the day.
There is still half a year to go, and it is possible that he will have to face the demon who crawled out of the abyss. Don't think about how powerful the demons from the abyss are, your current strength is estimated to be unable to deal with even those abyssal servant demons. If you really want to play the main role in the demon crusade, it is no different from cannon fodder.
Although from Malfoy's mouth, Naxi felt that Teacher Angelo had a perfect plan, but this was also Teacher Angelo's self-confidence, not his own self-confidence.
In this kind of worry and apprehension, Naxi slept until dawn in a daze.
The next day was a normal lesson, because he had slept in prison yesterday, so last night's bad sleep did not bother Naxi too much, and Naxi was still full of energy.
At the parting of the day yesterday, Malfoy told him that today's training venue had been changed to an outdoor one. Stumbling over several passers-by, Nashi found the outdoor training ground Malfoy had come up with.
When he arrived at the training ground, he was a little surprised to find that it wasn't Malfoy who was waiting there, but Angelo.
"Teacher Angelo, why are you?Brother Malfoy?" Because he didn't expect Angelo to come to teach, Naxi stammered nervously for a moment.
Subconsciously, he had already learned about the two tragedies from Malfoy's mouth, and he seemed a little uncomfortable when facing Angelo.
"Is there anything wrong with me coming?" said Angelo, smiling, "I'm your teacher, and of course I'm doing my duty as a teacher." Do you think Malfoy's half-bucket of water can teach you the art of a mage? No kidding, he's a great mage, but not so good that he can teach what he's learned. ”
Naxi understood what Angelo was referring to, and that in many cases, not everyone who excelled could do a good job in the role of mentor.
"I heard Malfoy say that you guy went to the Forbidden Prison yesterday. Angelo suddenly said the last thing Nashi wanted to talk about.
"Uh, yes. Nacy replied hesitantly, a little worried that Angelo knew what Malfoy had told him about Katrina.
"Then you must have gone in and seen my precious daughter who was controlled by the devil. Angelo's face was a little pale at the moment, and it was the first time Naxi had seen the man who had been smiling all day with such a sad expression.
Faced with Angelo's question, Naxi didn't know how to answer.
"I'm sure you know everything about my precious daughter from Malfoy's mouth. Angelo said, "It's my incompetence, there is no way to prevent the tragedy from happening, if I hadn't been so obsessed with avenging my family, I would have noticed Katrina's abnormality in those clues." It was this negligence that allowed me to repeat the tragedy again, and I should be most directly responsible for the deaths of my three good students. ”
Almost instantly, Naxi sensed that the person in front of him seemed to be ten years older. He hurriedly comforted: "Teacher Angelo, you don't have to blame yourself so much. The culprits are those demons from the Abyss of a Thousand Eyes. ”
After some persuasion, Angelo finally stopped blaming himself and finally brought up the training he was going to do today.
"In the last lesson, Malfoy mainly showed you how to fight as a mage, and also learned about your specialties through the lesson. Angelo said slowly, "Of course, Malfoy and I found out that you are the same as me, the power type, based on your performance last time. ”
As soon as he heard the word power, the image of a muscular man holding a fragile magic wand in his hand came to Naxi's mind. Although he is not yet in a muscular state, Naxi is quite resistant to the word strength in principle.
What kind of power does a mage need, the most important thing for a mage is intelligence, and a magician without intellectual support is the scum of the scum.
Although Naxi wanted to complain, he also understood that Valhalla trained war mages, so he didn't refute everything Angelo said. After all, he is just an ordinary student now, and if he wants to continue to mix in Ye Falan, he should not die.
"As Malfoy told you in the previous lesson, war mages are about the combination of combat skills and magic, and as war mages, we must fuse the two, and then use this fusion to the extreme. ”
Angelo continued, "As a mage, I won't be of much help to you with your spell-casting skills. In that contest in the Cheka town, I could see that you weren't bad at spellcasting skills. ”
For this somewhat unexpected evaluation, Naxi felt a little incredible. This is the first time in his life that his teacher has said that his magic level is not too bad, and this kind of comment will definitely make Naxi happy and unable to sleep.
"You're not kidding, are you? Angelo-sensei, my spellcasting skills are notoriously bad in the Cheka. Naxi said with a smile.
"If you're really that bad, I'm going to bring you to Yephalan?" said Angelo, smiling.
Naxi was silent, for he had long been considered by Professor Rawls of the Cheka Academy of Magic to be unmanufacturable. This lack of self-confidence has been with him since he reprimanded him, and even when he came out of that dangerous Thousand Wishes Realm, he still couldn't get rid of this psychological shadow.
Now Angelo has dispelled the inferiority complex that has been hanging over Naxi.
"I know you've been worried about something, and Rawls has told me about you. Although Rawls and I have known him for a long time, I still know a little bit about him. ”
Speaking of this, Angelo smiled: "I'm not saying bad things about Rawls behind my back, but I really don't think he's a great teacher. Of course, he can indeed complete seven, seven, eight or eight in ordinary teaching, but he can't do it at all when he teaches him according to his aptitude. I've seen your magic duel, and in terms of mastery of magic, you're not as good as your opponent, but your ability to adapt to emergencies is several levels higher. Judging from the magic you mentioned, the performance can be considered quite good. ”
"Really?" said Nash, suspicious, and although the assessment was very good, he still felt that Angelo was fooling him.
Angelo continued: "Rawls doesn't even know what his students are good at, so how can you make a name for yourself in the academy he presides. Of course, this doesn't put all the blame on your teacher, and as a magician who spends a lot of time studying magic, he doesn't have much chance of taking you to the next level. But now that I'm your teacher, I'll work out a way for you that works absolutely for you. ”
Hearing this again, Nashi remembered how she had been beaten by Malfoy in the previous lesson. He didn't want to be a punching bag this time. "Rest assured, today's training wasn't for the project, and I'm a lot more experienced than Malfoy, so I'm not going to let you get hurt. Angelo walked to the edge of the training ground, "You're going to make a great mage, trust me." ”
Looking at Angelo's serious expression, Naxi was really moved. Buried in the bottom of my heart together, the idea of secretly learning magic was also melted.
If I could, I wouldn't refuse to be a great mage.
