"Wesley, I warn you, don't pester Lucia anymore. ”

"Entanglement, is there a law in the Empire that prohibits the public pursuit of a single lady?"

"You're quibbling!"

"Could it be that Lucia is your girlfriend or fiancée? No, Carl, how did I hear that you are also a failed suitor?"

"We're different, I've had a crush on Lucia for a year now, and everyone knows my love for her. And you're just a playboy overflowing with feelings!"

Donner looked at the handsome blonde man and thought to himself, but any girl who doesn't make much mistake in her aesthetic tastes really has nothing to worry about between lazy Wesley and him. But Wesley himself apparently doesn't think so.

"So, you've been pestering Lucia, haha, I guess you're the one who needs to be warned, right?"

"Wesley, you despicable little ......"

"That's enough, Carl, this is the library, if you don't read, please get out!" Lucia kept a deaf ear until now.

"But Lucia, he's pestering you like this......"

"I don't like him, but I hate what you're doing now, and my business has nothing to do with you. ”

Carl glared at Wesley, his mouth opening and closing a few times, before finally saying anything more. At this time, he saw Donner beside Wesley, and then turned to the administrator Frigil and shouted, "Why can this poor man read here at will?"

Virgil glanced at Karl and did not speak, and the latter went out in a huff.

"Well, I'm sorry for you. Wesley made a sad look at Donner.

"With a friend like you, it's only a matter of time before you get involved, and I'm mentally prepared. Donner said as he sorted out the books in front of him and put them back on the shelves.

"You don't have to, I know you don't want to cause trouble to Mr. Victor, but Mr. Victor is not afraid of these troubles. ”

"It's his business not to be afraid of trouble, and it's my business not to get into trouble. In fact, it is just a blind look, the poor and magic are too far away. Donner laughed to himself, not necessarily thinking so.

"Why can't the poor learn magic, why do magic schools only admit aristocratic students, this is blatant discrimination!" Wesley was even more angry than Donner.

"It's that magic is too expensive, and it has nothing to do with the Academy of Magic. Donner thought the angry Wesley was cute, though it didn't make much sense.

"Magic is too expensive...... Wesley's rare blood was extinguished by Donner, repeating the other man's words.

In a corner where neither Donner nor Wesley was noticing, Lucia's eyes glanced at it for a rare moment.

Donner, of course, would not give up on the idea of studying magic for fear of trouble, and that evening, after helping Victor with the abstract of his dissertation, he first asked Victor about magic.

"Drawing magic primitives must be done under the supervision of a teacher?"

Victor was stunned for a moment, he probably didn't expect the other party to ask a magic-related question. However, he immediately realized that it was natural for Donner to learn magic, and with his genius in naturalism, magic might not be that difficult.

"Yes, someone has to be watched. ”

"But, I think the magic element is very simple, and it won't be wrong to draw without guidance, right?"

"You think about it, the role of the teacher is not to ensure that the students draw correctly, but to control the amount of practice. If no one controls it, the Academy of Magic can produce thousands of madmen every year. ”

"Isn't it okay to prescribe the amount and then control yourself?"

"A beautiful woman with no clothes on her standing in front of your bed, can you control yourself?"

"I'd love to have the opportunity to give it a try. However, I don't think the primitives are so tempting. ”

"That's because you didn't start drawing. You are like a baby now, and certainly do not feel the temptation of beauty. ”

"Do these primitives have to be exactly the same?"

"No two primitives are the same. ”

"I don't think we're talking about philosophy. Donner gave him a blank look.

"Well, there is a saying from the great magicians of the South that the big picture is more important than the details. It is generally considered to be talking about the overall situation when designing the magic array, but some people say that it may be talking about the magic element. Actually, I've seen primitives that are drawn haphazardly, but effectively. However, this change is difficult to grasp, and it may be much worse than fine, or it may be almost not good. In short, for students, it is recommended to draw as much as possible. ”

"So when drawing a magic array, if there are invalid primitives mixed in, how can you tell them?"

"Every time you draw an element, there will be subtle magic fluctuations, and if you don't feel it, you know that you haven't drawn it correctly...... Hey, I said, don't try it yourself, if you really want to learn, someone has to watch you all the time, I don't want to bring out a dumb man and bring back a madman, your father will smash me with his hammer. ”

"I can't touch magic metal, so I can't try it if I want to. "Besides, you're a powerful magician, how can my father smash you, Donner sneered.

"Anyway, don't come nonsense, if you really want to learn, next summer, I will have time to stare at you. ”

"Let's talk about it. And what about meditation?"

"That's after being promoted to a magic apprentice, and there are all kinds of meditation methods, but in principle, they all control the process of arranging the divine element. ”

"There are also high-level and low-level meditation methods, right? Is the high-level meditation method particularly powerful? Is there one in the academy?"

"I don't know where you heard all this nonsense. Different meditation methods only have their own characteristics, and there is no distinction between advanced and low. Some meditation methods focus on increasing mental power rapidly, while others are conducive to the rapid recovery of divine vitality after performing magic, which is also known as restoring mana. Meditation methods that increase mental power quickly are bound to recover mana slowly, and you can't have both. However, in fact, when people choose meditation methods, the more important factor is entertainment. ”

"Entertaining?" Donner looked at Victor carefully, making sure that the other man's eyes were clear, and he should not be talking nonsense.

"Yes, entertaining. Some meditations are very entertaining in the way they arrange their spiritual powers, and some are so boring that even a patient magician can't stand that kind of boring. ”

Donner was a little messy for a moment: Are you telling me that meditation is actually just typing Tetris and Bubble Bobble in your head?

"There's a meditation that makes people sleepy, and now everyone uses it to help them sleep, half an hour before bedtime, and sleep all night. It really works. ”

"Isn't it counting spiritual power elements, like this, one divine element, two divine elements, three divine elements?"

"How do you know?"

Donner felt that if this kind of conversation continued, he would already go crazy without drawing the primitives, so he quickly drank the soothing tea and went downstairs to sleep.

Lying on the bed, Donner kept thinking that the big picture was more important than the details, and this sentence seemed to have something to do with the strangeness he felt when he saw the magic element. But in the end, I was still puzzled and could only fall asleep.

In his sleep, he saw five magic elements twist strangely, eventually turning into the same shape.
