Chapter 30: Sharing Joy and Facing Parting
But...... When Edison came to the Western Continent Magic Primary School with an excited face, he saw ......
"Well, Paul, Insester, Lisart, and Smillie, all four of you!" Edison asked, a little surprised, knowing that he had left an hour early today!
Paul replied nonchalantly, "Yes, I was promoted to a first-class magician in the clan yesterday, and today I came to Teacher Lilith to get the certificate." ”
After speaking, the corner of his eye glanced at Edison. At this time, Edison was a little less excited, but he still said happily: "Congratulations, I thought I was the only one who had advanced to the first-level magician, and I was going to surprise you." ”
The crowd was ......silent for a minute, until Edison felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere and was about to speak. Everyone's emotions exploded all at once.
(Bullet Comment Mode is enabled...... )
Insest: "It's not magical, is it?!"
Paul: "Boss, I'll just say Edison will make the cut!"
Simily: "Congratulations, congratulations, in fact, we have all made the cut." ”
Lisart: "...... I" (You're done talking, what else can I say, old lady.) )
At this time, Edison was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked: "Doesn't it mean that the magic qualification is ordinary level, and few people can be promoted to official magicians before they become adults?"
As a result, Lisat glanced at Edison and said, "Didn't you qualify yourself, why can't we?"
Edison said in disbelief: "But I'm 'naturally promoted', but I can't ask for it!
Everyone: "......"
Paul looked at the boss and muttered, "Boss, it seems that we can say when we go out in the future: 'I have a classmate who is awesome and will be promoted naturally.'" 'See who dares to say that I came from a small place.' ”
Insest grew his mouth and said, "You're really ...... (Monster)"
Si Miri sincerely wished: "Lucky!"
Lisat glanced at her sister, who had recently begun to learn to answer, and said, "Then your magic qualifications have improved!?"
Edison said with some uncertainty: "Yes, I'll check it later when the certificate is issued." ”
......
Well, let me explain why the above people say Edison was lucky (monster?), first of all, we must first understand what "natural promotion" is:
The so-called natural promotion means that the magic power in the body is naturally attracted by the rules of the outside world without the help of any external force, and then he becomes a first-level magician, which is a bit like an epiphany in martial arts.
However, for a rational profession like a magician, this is simply nonsense, because which magician wants to advance is not successful by sitting in a magic array, drinking potions, and working hard to build a spell model.
What is "natural promotion", it simply subverts the three views of magicians!
For this reason, magicians have done a lot of research on this phenomenon, but unfortunately only one conclusion has been reached: this phenomenon is similar to the natural changes produced by the beast general-level demonic beasts, and it will also appear occasionally in some individuals of human beings, and its probability is negligible and the cause is unknown, but it has nothing to do with magical qualifications, which is equivalent to an awakening of human beings themselves, which can make ordinary people without qualifications become magically qualified, and the qualifications with magical qualifications will be improved.
And the most enviable thing about this is that people who "naturally advance" will get a first-level magic called [Elemental Conversion], which can convert any element into another element where there is a magical element, and this ability will increase with the increase of the level, which can be called the gospel of magicians!
However, if an ordinary magic apprentice chooses this first-level magic as the natal magic inscription when attacking the magician, the failure rate of the promotion will be infinitely close to 100%!
After all, [Elemental Transformation] is a super complex magic that ordinary third-level magicians may not be able to master well, although they know that they will gain a lot after success, but not many people will use it as a natal magic inscription, and if it fails, the price will be too heavy.
......
Undoubtedly, the news of 'natural promotion' was like a bombshell, and after a few people made a fuss, Edison used the topic to change Dafa to understand......
Because he started learning magic before he was 5 years old, he could have been promoted a long time ago, but he was only able to wait for a reliable partner who could help when he embarked on the path of the family's trials, so he delayed it again and again, but last night he suddenly had a magic riot and couldn't suppress it, so he had to advance.
Lisette and Smilli were promoted because of an adventure when they were children, and the seal was somehow unlocked a little bit yesterday and some memories were retrieved, in short, they were promoted when they were confused last night. They themselves are still a little confused, but listening to the patriarch of the family, it's a good thing, don't worry.
Paul's promotion is even more strange, he actually fell asleep yesterday, but in the middle of the night, the family elder suddenly ran over with a wicked smile on his face and said, "Boy, you have a good eye, luck has arrived." "I was thrown into the family's promotion room for a night, and now I have also been promoted.
Counting it, the five people who were still magic apprentices yesterday have all been promoted to first-level magicians today, which is really ......
Edison said to himself in confusion: "It feels like it's still in a dream! What a coincidence~ I won't worship an ancestor like a spirit, right? No! I also worshipped a few years ago......
Everyone: "......"
And when Teacher Lilith knew the intention of the group of five, even a level 5 magician was shocked, and it wasn't until she learned the basic situation of the students again that Lilith asked calmly:
"How many of you, are you all going to 'dream back'?"
Everyone nodded silently, and Teacher Lilith said: "That's right! This is the 'magic linkage', I heard people mention it when I was studying in the Central Continent, this is a small means of the three spiritual families, and half of the credit for your promotion this time will be counted on Edison's head." ”
Next, under the explanation of Teacher Lilith, everyone knew that the "Dream Resurrection Technique" of the three spiritual departments was originally a kind of 'magic linkage' secret technique to attract potential future powerhouses and at the same time drive their own development.
To put it bluntly, it is a magician upgrade, and several other people can follow to get some benefits, but the possibility of sharing benefits and the probability of 'magic linkage' is very small, generally the closer the age of the two is, the better;
And this 'magic linkage' can be said to be a rare phenomenon that is transmitted back and forth in the order of [Edison-Lisart-Smilley-Paul-Incest], and the breakthrough of each of the five people will be like a snowball, resulting in a reduction in the difficulty of the other four people to advance.
In addition, Insester's accumulation is too strong, in fact, it is estimated that the elders of the family also saw something in the later stage, so they threw Paul into the general room, and Paul was able to advance overnight, which was also stained with the light of Insester.
After listening to Teacher Lilith's popular science ...... Oh no, it's the knowledge of Mopu, and everyone feels like it's really a long knowledge, but it seems to reveal something else...... Teacher Lilith was watching with great interest at the change of expressions of the students below.
Paul's face was the same.
Insest looked at Lisart and Edison with a complicated expression.
Edison's eyes widened and he looked frightened.
Lisat lowered her head, unable to see her face clearly.
Smilley kept fiddling with her fingers, looking at her sister and peeking at Edison.
In short, in Lilith's eyes, the relationship between these students is really messy!
After coming over for a long time, she had to help her forehead to break the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere below. Teacher Lilith took the initiative to speak, "Okay, okay, little ones, have you forgotten why you came to me, this matter?"
At this time, everyone woke up like a dream, filled in their information one by one, handed it to Teacher Lilith, and routinely checked the qualifications of magicians.
(Otherworldly Knowledge: This is a provision made to prevent some magicians, in order to receive free natal magic elves, to use the way of overdrawing the future to advance in advance.) )
And when Teacher Lilith saw that Edison's qualifications had really changed to average, even with her current achievements, she couldn't help but feel jealous! What kind of luck did this take, and the almost impossible "natural promotion" actually appeared.
After the group of five people got the supporting materials, the strange atmosphere between everyone seemed to ease a little.
Only then did Paul speak: "It's okay, Lisart told me about the 'spiritual crystal' to Edison. It's also a kind of reward for Edison, after all, both of us can 'dream back to the arts', and it is not a loss to give Edison this medicine genius, not to mention that half of the successful promotion this time depends on Edison. ”
At this time, everyone realized that Paul, who was usually very arrogant, was actually the one who saw the atmosphere most clearly, and only one sentence resolved the embarrassment between everyone.
After a while, everyone began to naturally discuss the matter of going to the Wizards' Guild to choose the natal elves.
Paul said without hesitation: "Of course, you have to pick the most muscular elf!" (Mystery complaint: It's all elemental body, energy body, where do the muscles come from)
Insester thought for a moment and said, "Earth Elf! After all, it is the most compatible with the magic of my Newton family. ”
Lisat calmly recounted: "I will choose the light elemental elf, this kind of elf has its own healing effect is very suitable for me, and for the spiritual magician, there is actually no shortage of means of attack. ”
Si Miri said softly: "Dark...... Dark elves can see clearly at night, and they are not easy to detect when hidden. ”
Everyone: "......" (Why do you always feel like I'm losing?!)
Edison hesitated, but said, "I...... I'm probably going to pick the 'Art Elf'!"
Lisette suddenly asked curiously: "You don't suddenly want to change your career to become a "troubadour", do you?"
Paul said with a complicated face: "You also want to be a profession like a little white face?!"
Incest gave Paul a vague look and said nothing.
However, Simily said with some support: "Actually, the troubadour is also good, quite comprehensive. "It's a pity that the voice is too soft,
Edison said indifferently: "You see, I may not only be lucky, maybe I am also a talented but well-hidden man?!"
The crowd is overwhelmed......
Inseist said speechlessly: "Although the 'Art Elf' claims to be the only magic elf that can lead the magician to advance as long as the user is talented enough, there are too few people who have outstanding artistic talent, magical qualifications, and can learn magic well, after all, both are very energy-consuming!"
"Eighteen thousand years later, since the appearance of the 'Art Elf', there have only been 3 people in history who have reached the Legendary Realm!
I want to insert a sentence here: The method that Insest said is actually the least bad money promotion method for many local tyrant magicians, with few drawbacks and good results.
This is similar to the practice of some college entrance examination students choosing an art major, getting a good school, and then getting a good diploma to have a high starting point, and then finding a good job after graduation.
......
Edison, with a mysterious smile, said to Inseyster: "Why, I won't change the magic elves, as for the reason, believe me, I will tell you when I graduate." ”
In fact, for Edison, receiving the art elf is the result of his careful consideration, and the key to this is that the energy absorbed by the "art elf" is the power of emotion, and it is also the only secondary energy product of the power of faith recorded in the "Complete History of the Tesla Family", and it is also the most suitable magic elf for Edison, who is currently unable to use the power of faith.
After all, the Art Elf is the only magic elf that is paired with the power of faith, and its own initial magic [Psychic Resonance] effect is:
The ability to feel and read the "what's in the heart" hidden in the user's heart - the strongest feeling in the heart at the moment, the "important things" that have been depicted in the heart...... Even if they can't fully express themselves, through this ability, the art elves can be randomly expressed with elements such as poems, songs, and paintings, and at the same time have some wonderful magical auxiliary powers.
It's not so much magic as it is an ability to look at character and fight luck, so [Psychic Resonance] is known as the most outrageous and uncertain magic, and the effects produced are not only not able to have direct attack power before the legend, but also varied......
And if the troubadour can be recognized by more people for his talents, it will in turn help the mage's soul to transform, which is why the troubadour needs to walk around and sing all the time.
Besides, you don't have to be a troubadour if you learn how to use the power of faith correctly, then the so-called all-mage is not a dream!
Of course, in addition, Edison's magical memory and mathematics, physics and chemistry based on the laws of another world must also be learned! (Edison's sad and indignant face: If you don't mention this stubble, we are still good friends!)
......
Under the frank communication between the group, several people finally returned to the daily routine of fighting each other and tearing each other down, but there was more melancholy behind everyone's smiles.
Because everyone knows the truth, when they become magicians, they don't have much time together. As long as a year, as short as a month, everyone will have to go their separate ways, this magic elementary school in the Western Continent is too small after all, and the childhood time of a magician is extremely short.
A question popped up in everyone's minds: "How long can such days last?"
Under the seemingly cheerful atmosphere, an undercurrent is surging.
......
This will be the end of the day, and it will be the first step for them to reach the limit.
(PS1: Updated today with 4500 words, it's really tiring to write these chapters, and the subtle psychological dynamics of various characters have to be taken into account, it's just OZR, ask for recommendation votes for comfort.) By the way, the plot has developed to this point, and the first volume of "Childhood" is estimated to end in half a month, which is a bit reluctant! After all, for the protagonist, this "Childhood" should be his most relaxed time. )
