Chapter 20: Special Talents (2)

Is the ability to recover far beyond ordinary people his own talent?

Indeed, as Scott said, he can maintain the fireball technique for a long time and feel the slightest loss of mana, that is, can he maintain this magic twenty-four hours a day if he wants to?

But this kind of thing ......

"Soth, do you want to say that this kind of thing can be done by any veteran magician?" said Scott, leaning against the bedside flipping through the book.

Turning his head to look at Scott suspiciously, Jiang Zhe said strangely, "You know this, you can read minds?"

"Hey," Scott said as he flipped the page and laughed at himself, "that's advanced psychic magic, not even in sixth grade, you think I will?"

"And how do you know?"

"It's easy!" As he spoke, Scott closed the book, looked at Jiang Zhe with a strange expression and said, "Since the morning, you have been muttering to that fireball, so close, can I not hear it?"

Jiang Zhe was speechless, holding his forehead and sighing, and was about to say something, when Scott hurriedly said, "Control the fireball, damn it, I don't want to be blown up a second time!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Jiang Zhe was a little sweaty when he recalled the events of the morning.

Getting up and sitting on the edge of the bed, Scott looked at the fireball cast by Jiang Zhe, frowned and said, "Indeed, if you are a senior magician, you can indeed maintain this magic twenty-four hours a day, after all, this is only a second-level magic, it will not consume much mana, of course, this is for those magicians...... But Soth, I don't think a first-year freshman can sustain this magic for a long time!"

"That'......s right," Jiang Zhe remembered that he was just a first-year freshman now.

"I remember that the great magician Murphy Donald's "On Magic and Meditation" mentioned that the recovery of magic power during meditation and the recovery of magic power in ordinary times are two completely different concepts! In meditation, a great magician absorbs much more magic from the outside world than a magician apprentice, which is mainly reflected in mental power and control, but in normal times, the magic power of the magician will gradually recover, which is not directly related to the spiritual power and control of the magician, but depends on the capacity of the 'container'! And you, Soth, are only apprentices now, and you can't even be called a trainee magician, and the magic power of your physical strength is only enough to perform one or two fireball spells, isn't it a talent that a 'container' of this size can maintain a second-level magic for a long time like a senior magician?"

"What do you mean......" Looking at Scott in distraction, Jiang Zhe touched his chin and said in a deep voice, "If you expand your own 'container', the recovery speed will be even more ......"

"Very likely!" Scott nodded, then said jokingly, "Maybe in the future, you can maintain level 6 magic for a long time...... That's something that a great magician can't necessarily do!"

"So how do you scale this container?"

Scott was stunned, spread his hands and said helplessly, "Soth, I'm just a first-year freshman like you, don't you think I know everything, okay......?"

Jiang Zhe smiled bitterly, for him, meditation is no different from sleeping, anyway, he will fall asleep, not to mention that it is difficult, he simply cannot achieve the 'absolute stillness of the mind' when meditating.

A person who can't learn to meditate can't become a magician at all!

Tut!

Is there really only one way to run out of mana?

But in that case, isn't it back to the beginning?

Jiang Zhe felt like a low-level apprentice in the game, with only twenty points of mana in his own right, and it took ten points of mana to cast a fireball, and he used up the mana in his body twice. But this low-level apprentice has another talent, which is to recover a little mana per second, which is just the same amount of mana that can be used to maintain the fireball......

No matter how enviable this talent will become in the future, but for now, it's really chicken!

Wouldn't that be nice, you might say? You can cast a fireball in 10 seconds.

But come on, that's just an analogy borrowed from data, according to Professor Hodd, the affinity of the elements is not determined by the number of times the magic is cast, but the time spent with the elements, just like Jiang Zhe can maintain the fireball technique for a long time, so in the long run, his affinity for the fire element is far more than others.

Of course, the benefits are also the most obvious, the speed of gathering fire elements is accelerated, the fire damage received is reduced, and it is even possible to reach the realm of instantaneous......

But what is instantaneous? Instantaneous fireball?

That's not what Jiang Zhe wants!

For Jiang Zhe, who is unable to meditate, the only way to expand the container may be the special way to deplete the magic power, but ......

Do you choose the elemental affinity, or the 'container' itself?

Jiang Zhe was distressed.

Suddenly, he was stunned, and he realized a misunderstanding in his concept.

Why do you want to disarm the last fireball and recast the spell to deplete the mana?

yes, why should it be lifted?

"Fieri Obearla!"

"Whew!" another fist-sized fireball appeared.

"Hey, hey!" all of this made Scott stunned, "Suo...... Soth?!"

Really!

It's really hard to control the two fireballs!

After the second fireball appeared, Jiang Zhe could obviously feel the consumption of mana, but compared to mana, the consumption of spiritual power made him a little unbearable.

"Double cast?" Scott nudged his eyes and muttered, "Soth, how do you feel?"

"It's very difficult!" Jiang Zhe's breathing became a little short, and there was a faint sequelae of what Scott said when his magic power was exhausted, and he felt dizzy and nauseous.

"Calm down, man!" Scott, who was usually very calm, seemed to have seen some miracle, and said vigorously around Jiang Zhe, "Don't pay attention to the loss of mana, adjust your breathing, and calm down...... Don't let these two fireballs come together, they're going to blow up!"

"What you said is easy," Jiang Zhe, who was sweating profusely, said with a wry smile, "The key is that I can't calm down......" As soon as the words fell, his expression was stunned, and he suddenly felt a very peaceful magic fluctuation gushing out of his upper body, which was very comfortable, as if it was a drizzle in the scorching summer, which calmed his impatient heart instantly.

"Whew...... It's under control, what do you do now?"

"Don't worry, don't worry," Scott said slowly, pushing his glasses and staring at the two fireballs in mid-air, "slowly separate them...... yes, well, try to get them to turn around...... Yes, that's it...... It's incredible!"

"Whew!" Looking at the two fireballs slowly floating in the air, Jiang Zhe wiped the sweat from his forehead, compared to those uncomfortable feelings, his heart was full of joy: Hey! What if you can't meditate?

Jiang Zhe carefully controlled the two fireballs, letting them rotate in circles above his palms, and the faint white light emitted from the two fireballs from time to time was a sign of being in a dangerous state, but it was this fresh stimulation and the joy of success that made Jiang Zhe excited.

Compared to the relatively 'crazy' Jiang Zhe, Scott was much more cautious, holding a thick book in front of him, and said, "Concentrate, Soth, the one on the left is about to explode...... Very good, right, right......!

"Can you not speak......" Jiang Zhe smiled bitterly.

After a full five minutes, Jiang Zhe gradually became familiar with the feeling of controlling two fireballs, after all, it was very difficult for a beginner Jiang Zhe to divide his attention into two and master the situation of two fireballs at the same time.

"I really don't know what words to use to describe it," shaking his head, looking at Jiang Zhe withdrawing his right hand, just relying on his mental power to control the two fireballs staggering and floating around him, Scott pushed his glasses and said, "If there are a few more fireballs, it will be very similar to the fourth-level magic [Fire Shield Technique]...... Hey, I'm just talking about it!"

"Don't worry!" Jiang Zhe said with a slight smile, "Now I feel very struggling, how can I have the spare strength to summon another fireball?"

Scott breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the two fireballs floating beside Jiang Zhe, and said sincerely, "Whether it's [Fire Shield] or [Lianzhu Fireball], it can actually be regarded as a collection of multiple [Fireballs] that weaken power, if you can maintain it like this, you don't have to learn those two magic spells at all...... Although it is much slower in terms of cast speed, it is ...... in terms of power"

Before the words fell, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and Alan ran in like a gust of wind, desperately pulling Jiang Zhe over and hurriedly said, "Guys, there is a Defence Against the Dark Arts course today, Professor Amix is not a good talker, ...... quickly" As he spoke, his eyes widened suddenly, and his fingers trembled behind Jiang Zhe.

"You idiot!" Scott cursed through gritted teeth.

"Boom! boom!"

-----------------------------

Defence Against the Dark Arts is one of the required courses at Reochs Academy, and it is a subject that everyone is required to master.

Unlike when Jiang Zhe majored in the Fire Blue Magic course, there were only a few dozen students, and the Defence Against the Dark Arts course was more than that, and the entire first-year students had to take this course.

The teacher of defense was an old magician, a very stubborn and punctual old man, Salat Amix.

Professor Amix is not a great magician, but according to rumors, this professor has the strength of a great magician, has an eccentric surname, is taciturn, and is said to be a very strict old man.

It is worth mentioning that Professor Amix once published an article "The Refinement of Dark Energy", which mainly talks about how to refine the energy of the dark side of the element, which has been well received by magicians in the industry, but the book has been unanimously recognized by the Magicians Association: Those who do not have the strength of a great magician are not allowed to read this book.

To this day, the book is still locked on the sixth floor of the Royal Wizard's Library and the Reochs Library.

Speaking of a long way, when Jiang Zhe and the three of them hurried to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, the class had already begun, and Professor Amix was standing in front of the dimly lit classroom and talking eloquently......

"As I said a few days ago, Defence Against the Dark Arts is to use elements from the outside world to achieve a series of purposes such as neutralization, absorption, defense, and rebound, and you can also use this academic to imprison the magic of your enemies, a magician who is imprisoned in magic has almost no threat surname, and I hope you ...... this."

As soon as he said this, the door of the classroom creaked open, and the students in the classroom glanced at the door in surprise, and then burst into laughter.

I saw Jiang Zhe and the three of them standing at the door wearing dirty magic robes, and Allen, who was in the lead, was even more covered with black dust, and said pitifully, "I'm sorry, professor, we ......"

Professor Amix turned his head and looked the three of them up and down, especially the remaining elemental traces on them, and sniffled.

This amount ...... Has anyone learned the Fireball?

"Professor?" said Allen, with his head bowed pitifully.

Taking out the pocket watch in his pocket and looking at it, Professor Amix looked at the three little ones at the door and said in a deep voice, "If you have anything more important than this class, I would be happy to listen to your explanation!" As he spoke, he paused and continued with a cold face, "If not, please don't do this situation a second time, otherwise, you don't have to participate in the year-end assessment!"

"Yes, Professor Amix!" Alan shrank his head, and the three little ones came to the back of the room and sat down.

As the three little guys passed by, Professor Amix glanced at Jiang Zhe, and he could clearly feel the fire elemental surrounding that little ghost......

Looks like this little ghost...... Funny little ghost!

A cough interrupted the laughter of the new students in the classroom, and Professor Amix said with a straight face, "What are you laughing at? In my class, except for answering my questions, shut up for me the rest of the time!"

As soon as the words fell, the classroom suddenly fell silent.

"Very well," Amix nodded with satisfaction, walked over to the blackboard in the classroom, and tapped it with his hand, and suddenly a series of font symbols appeared on the blackboard.

"Before you learn shorthand magic, you'd better write down everything I say, don't skimp on your ink and energy, in my opinion, these are worthless! Absorb and rebound, it does not rely on the elements of the outside world, the power depends on the fluctuation of personal mana, so the speed of casting spells is very fast, I hope you will keep in mind the mantra of some spells, otherwise in times of danger, you can only pray to the gods to save you!"

There was a small burst of laughter in the classroom.

Amix scanned the classroom with a cold face, pointed to a chubby child and said, "I ask you, is it funny?"

"It's not funny, Professor......" The kid cowered and bowed his head.

"Then shut your mouth!" Amix turned around and continued to teach, "You should understand that Defence Against the Dark Arts is the last defense of magicians, when your fireball cannot repel the opponent, when the giant stone statue you summoned is destroyed by the opponent, as long as you master this science, you can use the Defence Against the Dark Arts to protect yourself, or delay time and prepare another magic, if the opponent is very strong, you can also choose to escape, this is not ashamed!" Of course, I'm talking about the fact that when you're alone, it's not a commendable thing to abandon your companions, which means that you'll be abandoned in the future...... Well, turn to page ninety-six, in addition to using magic fluctuations, Defense Against the Dark Arts also has a method, and that is the pentagram, which requires great care when using this kind of magic, because it is a demonic power, just like a curse......"

"This old man on the other side is really stressed......" Alan whispered at the back of the classroom, tilting his head.

"Hmph!" Glancing at him coldly, Scott said with a low sneer, "You should be glad that the magic robes we wear are engraved with the basic magic array ...... that reduces magic damage."

"Hey, you can't blame me for that," Alan said dissatisfied, "Blame Soth, who called him ......"

"He'd already controlled those two fireballs, if it weren't for you......" Scott hated the dust that had been blown up to the ground.

"Okay, okay," Alan said, shrugging his shoulders in surrender, "it's all my fault, man?"

"Originally!" Seeing that the other party was soft, Scott didn't pursue it too much, Gu Zi took notes, after all, there is a lot of relevant knowledge in Defense Against the Dark Arts that can be applied to curses, and curses are the subject that Scott intends to major in.

"Scott, what did you just say about double casting?" was taking notes, and Jiang Zhe's question came from beside him.

Glancing quietly at Professor Amyx in front of the classroom, Scott whispered, "Double cast...... This is a skill that is unique to magicians and requires a certain amount of control, which I have seen in books. Powerful black mages can do it, generally speaking, the magic cast is the same or the same system, only the great mage can do two different types of magic at the same time, that is, the great mage can use two different elements at the same time, or even mix them to produce another element, just like the fire element and the water element are mixed to produce the thunder element.

All in all, double spellcasting is something that every Grand Mage says must master, and it is a prerequisite for using compound magic......"

"Compound magic?" Jiang Zhe was stunned, and was about to say something, but saw Scott's playful expression and said, "That requires strong magic and control......"

Yes, I feel that it is difficult to cast two fireballs now! Jiang Zhe shook his head with self-deprecation.

"How are you feeling now?"

"It's okay, I'm still a little dizzy, but it's much better......"

"Can you feel the mana regain?"

"Yes, it just feels slow......"

Slow?Scott's pen in his hand paused, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

It's not about restoring the magic with meditation, since you can feel the recovery of the mana, it's already amazing, and you're still ......

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Scott sighed slightly, "What an enviable talent......

"Heh," Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, and said, "The strength of a magician depends on the amount of knowledge, isn't it?"

Scott smiled and shrugged disapprovingly.

Before the assessment of the history of ancient magic, this guy who had not received the magic of 'mnemonic' as Jiang Zhe had memorized all the thick books in just one day, which made Jiang Zhe and Alan stunned and red-eyed.

The Defence Against the Dark Arts course of about an hour was over quickly, and among the three, only Scott listened carefully to the whole class, and the other two, Allen talked together, sleeping with his head covered by a book, while Jiang Zhe looked out the window, his expression changed from time to time, and his right hand made various gestures, obviously reminiscing about the feeling when he controlled the two fireballs just now.

"Okay, that's all for today's lesson," Professor Amix in front of the classroom cleaned up and said solemnly, "In the next class, I'll ask a few of you to perform the Defence Against the Dark Arts spell, so it's best for you to keep in mind the spells I taught, it's about your year-end assessment, that's all!"

"I still have to be assessed......" Jiang Zhe pouted weakly.

"Who called this course compulsory?" said Scott, pushing Jiang Zhe with his elbow and teasingly, "You know, South, that girl from the Fahualia family has looked back at you several times, and you should be honored for it......"

"I don't think it's any honor!" Looking at the contempt in the eyes of the girl-haired girl, Jiang Zhe couldn't help but laugh and cry.

In fact, this is to blame Professor Hod, who told him that he likes to ask Jiang Zhe questions in class? If Jiang Zhe can't answer, then the next person to be named by Professor Hod must be the girl named Lavia Fahualia.

Obviously, it was Professor Huo De who used this to motivate Jiang Zhe to concentrate this little bastard who had been sleeping in his class and wandering, but what was the effect......

Except for causing Jiang Zhe to arouse the hostility of the girl with good grades, Professor Huo De got nothing.

Of course, it wasn't the red-haired girl who was hostile to Jiang Zhe, there were many first-year freshmen who were hostile to Jiang Zhe, but it was not so much hostility to Jiang Zhe as contempt for 'civilians'.

Reox is not only open to nobles, but the gap between the proportion of nobles and commoners among students is still very large, in any case, it is true that nobles are easier to become magicians, which is likely to be due to blood.

Since ancient times, it has been common for the children of two magicians to be born with talents beyond ordinary people.

It's like Weston, the royal chief magician, who is himself from a noble wizard family and has extraordinary talents.

Isn't there a saying, genius, one percent is inspiration, ninety-nine percent is sweat, but that one percent inspiration is the most important, even more important than the ninety-nine percent sweat.

This sentence is apt to describe a magician!

But Reochs did not abandon the civilians, because among the civilians there will also be geniuses beyond ordinary people!

It's like Jiang Zhe......

As the days passed, Professor Huo De could clearly feel the fire element surrounding this child, and he also valued this little guy more and more, but no matter what, he still didn't teach Jiang Zhexin magic.

Even if other children are already trying to perform all kinds of magic at the second level, what Professor Huo De asked Jiang Zhe to do is still to be familiar with the fire element, understand the fire element, affinity, and elemental arrangement are the most common words that Professor Huo De says, but recently, some new words have emerged from his mouth.

For example...... Compress.
