Chapter 9 Unwillingness

"But, sir, I'm not afraid to waste my time, and I'm willing to learn magic whenever I spend as much time as I can. Hall said firmly.

"Smack!" Arno slapped the table next to him vigorously, causing Hall to tremble in fright, and he sneered and said, "Okay, you're not convinced, right? Okay, I'll teach you the illumination technique, and you'll know when the time comes!" Arno looked very angry.

Seeing Arno's anger, the children didn't dare to make a sound, and secretly blamed Hall for being ignorant in their hearts. It was really uninteresting to waste three hours of waiting for him here, and to provoke Arno and refuse the work that Arno had painstakingly arranged.

Arno calmed down for a moment, and saw that Hall was still kneeling on the ground with his head buried, so he said in disappointment: "Get up, the wizarding world is cruel, and soon your magical dreams will be shattered." ”

These words were like needles piercing Hall's heart, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, I am not afraid of difficulties. ”

Arno sneered and said, "Alright, let's start learning the first magic, [Illumination]. You start by taking a magic scroll from the table. ”

After the children had all taken the scrolls, Arno began to explain how to learn magic.

First of all, he introduced the spells of magic, which had a total of forty-five syllables, which could be pronounced through phonetics, but it was a little awkward, which was not difficult.

Later, however, he explained the difficulty of learning magic: "There are forty-five pronunciation symbols of magic syllables, and the pronunciation is the same in each spell, but the length of their pronunciation varies, and this difference is not measured in seconds, but in thousandths of a second. This difference is extremely subtle, and it takes repeated trial and error to find the right length. Once each note is pronounced correctly, it is imprinted in the soul of the magician or apprentice, and it disappears from the scroll and can be skimmed by the next practice. Until all syllables disappear from the scroll, the spell will be activated, and from then on it will be branded with the learner, and will be activated at the slightest thought. ”

"The difficulty of learning magic depends on the length of the spell, the more effective the magic spell is longer and requires more time to practice, while the beginner spell is shorter and very easy to master. However, even the easiest illumination technique can take an average apprentice a month to fully master. ”

Arno took a sip of water, and then said: "Okay, now everyone go back and start practicing the tricks, the magic is all on your own, and I can't help you anything, so don't bother me before practicing the first magic, I still have very important things to do." ”

Everyone was about to turn around and leave, Arno suddenly said: "The door on the left side of this room has some materials and books I have collected, the content is very rich, all of them have something to do with the wizarding world, you can come and see it when you have nothing to do, I hope it will help you." ”

The children left the big room one after another, and they didn't look good when they passed by Hall.

Hale didn't know how to offend them, but he wasn't in the mood to care about it now, so he went straight back to the house, sat down on the bed, and began to study magic.

He knew that his qualifications were poor, so he could only hurry up and study.

But after a while, there was a knock on the door, and Anglo poked his head out of the crack in the door and said cautiously, "May I come in?"

Hall nodded blankly, and saw Anglo walking in with two hot steamed buns and a bowl of porridge in his hand, smiling.

He put things down, went to Hall's bedside, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a hearty smile, "Hey! Hall, why didn't you even eat?"

Hall sighed and said, "There's no time to eat, I have to hurry up and practice my magic." ”

Anglo laughed and said, "How can you have the strength to practice magic without eating?" I know you're in a hurry, but you can't rush either. The sky is high and the road is long, and there will be a long time in the future, I believe that if you work hard, you will not be worse than others. ”

When Hall heard this, he was a little moved, nodded and said, "Thank you, Anglo. ”

Anglo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Actually, I have other things to do, Mr. Arno needs to collect our place of origin and age, and the Academy of Magic needs to be registered." ”

"Oh, my full name is Hall, Jack Kell, I'm nine years and seventy days old, and I'm from ...... Bajarot, the country of the North, Central Province. When talking about his country, Hall was obviously a little hesitant, wondering if he remembered the sad past.

Anglo recorded it and said, "Oh, Hall, you are the youngest of us, I am the biggest, you can call me Big Brother Anglo in the future." ”

Hall nodded silently, watched Anglo walk out, and then sighed. Recalling that in the morning he still looked down on Anglo, laughing at him for being a miscellaneous worker, but even this miscellaneous worker was much better than himself, and Hall was a little self-deprecating.

Looking back at the steamed buns on the table, he had no appetite, and today's words kept echoing in his ears: "Your magical dreams will soon be shattered......"

He gritted his teeth and decided to start practicing magic first.

There is nothing peculiar about the early stages of magic practice, which is to practice spells constantly, with magic gestures, and to output elemental energy at the right time. Every time a spell is cast, even if it is unsuccessful, it consumes a lot of mana. Therefore, it is very hard for the initial apprentice, because after practicing one or twenty times, you have to meditate again.

However, unexpectedly, Hall actually practiced more than twenty times and showed no signs of mana exhaustion. Of course, there is not a single magical syllable imprinted.

Time passed in a hurry, the red sun in the west had already set, night fell, the night fog was very large, and the entire magic academy had sunk into the vast world, and it was one with the mountain.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a shining red flower bloomed in the sky, and then turned into countless small fireballs, drowning in the mist.

The fireworks at the welcome party were lit up and were colorful and lively.

But it is even more supportive of the desertion in this small courtyard behind the castle.

Two people turned their heads at the same time, their faces reflected in the brilliant fireworks, and their feelings were the same, that is, loss and hesitation.

Arno looked a little agitated, he strode over, closed the window with a thud, and then looked through the gap in the window at the room where Hall lived, snorted coldly, and strode inside.

Hall turned his head to look at the fireworks in the sky, but he didn't have time to admire them.

Holding his mind, he took a deep breath and recited the twenty-eighth mantra.
