Chapter Fifty-Eight: Leo's Thoughts
While being observed by others, Leo is also observing others. In addition to himself, Ruhrmann Khan, and the clerk, there were seventeen young men in the hall, ten boys and seven girls.
As if to show their status as mages, they all wore mage robes, and although they came in a variety of styles, they only had two colors, namely blue for mage apprentices and azure for junior mages. And from the magic ornaments they wear, it can be seen that these people should all be noble children. Moreover, today is the start date of the joint entrance examination, but they all came to participate in the magic salon, and it is conceivable that they must have all obtained the recommendation qualifications, and they can enter the magic academy for further study without exams.
"Well, five first-level mages, that little girl looks like she is thirteen or fourteen years old, and she is already a formal mage, it seems that education should start from the baby, and there is really nothing wrong with it. Leo muttered to himself, finding a place to sit down.
At this time, Luhrman came to the main seat, clapped his hands and said, "It's almost time, then the magic salon will start now." ”
Several servants immediately walked in and served each participant a lightly scented black tea and delicate snacks.
Luhrmann looked at Leo and continued: "There's a new guest here today, and as is customary, please welcome. May we never be alone on the path of magic. ”
The master's face could not be denied, and with the not-so-enthusiastic applause, everyone said in unison: "May we never be alone on the road of magic." ”
Leo was taking a sip of black tea, and out of politeness, he had to stand up immediately and bow slightly to show his gratitude.
Seeing that he was still wearing a coat, Luhrmann seemed to be a little unable to let go, so he said, "Leo, maybe you can take off your coat first." I don't think it's cold. And southern black tea warms the body the most, maybe you'll be sweating soon. ”
"Yes, the temperature here is very good, and the black tea is excellent. Leo obediently took off his coat and handed it to the servant on the side.
The azure mage robe and the one-star badge on his chest were revealed, and those who didn't take him seriously were taken aback.
"This guy is an L-class mage?"
"He shouldn't be big, does he really have a good talent?"
In fact, Leo didn't deliberately want to hide his rank first, but because he didn't like these nobles on weekdays, he was picked up by a carriage when he went in and out, so he habitually wore a coat.
It was discovered that Leo turned out to be a level 1 mage. Luhrmann was also a little surprised: "Leo, how long have you been studying magic?"
"It's been more than three years. Leo replied. In fact, he has not been studying magic for more than a year, but in order not to become the target of public criticism immediately, and in order to take care of the feelings of his master, Luhrman, he deliberately exaggerated it.
But even so, there was a buzz around them.
"Three years?
"yes, it took me five years just to learn the basics, then another year to try meditation, and now I've been learning magic for a total of eight years. But there is still a long way to go before he advances, and he said that he became a level 1 mage in three years?"
If it weren't for Luhrmann's presence, many people would even question it directly, and then expose this liar.
Luhrmann was also unbelievable: "How long, three years?"
Leo suddenly realized. Three years is still too short, and he hurriedly added: "Actually, three years is counted from being able to meditate, and my family used to be a businessman, so I learned some basic content at a very young age. ”
"Qi. Let's just say, even a genius like Wiki can't become a level 1 mage after studying magic for three years. It is estimated that he has definitely a lot of water in the past three years. I really don't understand how Her Royal Highness the Princess would sponsor such a guy. "Many people, especially boys, subconsciously don't want to accept that this civilian from a remote area in front of them will be better than themselves.
Luhrmann nodded, but didn't say anything more, after all, meditation is the most difficult stage of getting started with magic. And starting with meditation, it took three years to advance to level 1, although it is quite good, but there are many people who have done it before. However, if he knew that Leo had only used it for less than a year, he would definitely not be as calm as he is now.
Quickly putting the vignette aside, Luhrmann said to the crowd again: "Then, as always, please speak freely." Which one will come first?"
Even a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man raised his hand.
Luhrmann shifted his gaze and smiled, "Okay, Mecedo, then you can come first." ”
The young man, Mecedo, was evidently very important in the crowd, and several people immediately applauded.
When the applause subsided, Mecedo spoke, "I've been learning spatial coordinates with my teacher recently, preparing for my next promotion to level 2 and learning teleportation magic. ”
"Oh, Mecedo, are you ready to move up to level 2?" Luhrman interjected.
"Yes, if nothing else, it should be completed within this year. Feeling the envious and jealous gazes of everyone, Mecedo tried not to let himself show any other expressions, and after getting permission to continue, he re-spoke: "Now I would like to introduce to you some of my experiences in learning the spatial coordinate system. ”
"First of all, we should be clear that the spatial coordinate system is different from the plane coordinate system, because it is a three-dimensional structure, so it will be more difficult to imagine in the mind. But at this point, I have a pretty good approach. Mecedo stood up, one hand forward, one to the side, and continued: "We can imagine ourselves as a spatial coordinate system and bring it into our minds. ”
............
"Well, it's a good learning experience, if I could master your learning methods when I was young, I wouldn't have been able to cast the flash technique by now. Luhrmann was half complimentary, half self-deprecating.
However, because he said it very funny, and he had never had any arrogance, the young people present all chuckled.
"You've won a prize. Mecedo could barely hide his pride, and even his mouth was a little distorted.
At this time, a slightly feminine male voice came: "Grandpa Ruhrmann has not won the prize, if I could have learned what you said about Mecedo half a year earlier, it is estimated that I would have been able to cast the flash technique three months ago." ”
Leo followed the sound and realized that at some point, there were two more people at the door of the living room. They were a young man in his twenties and a boy in his twenties.
The boy was quite ordinary, but the young man was extremely handsome. With sun-like blonde hair and blue eyes as clear as a lake, if it weren't for the flat chest like a field, she would probably be mistaken for a woman.
"Is that him?" Leo instantly recognized the other party, and it was Vicky Bolton, who ranked first in the odds list.
"Wiki......" Mecedo recognized the person of course, and his face suddenly became a little ugly. He thought that the wiki would not come today, and that he could finally be the most high-profile person once, but now he ...... From the girls who almost had fire in their eyes, it seemed impossible for the idea to come true.
Luhrman just nodded to the wiki, and then shouted at the boy, "Little bastard, come to me!"
The boy is clearly very close to the wiki. Hurriedly hid behind the young man and wailed: "Grandpa, I'm so sleepy, let me go back to sleep!"
Knowing that Luhrmann didn't have anything to do with this grandson, otherwise he wouldn't have sent someone to persuade him to get up, Vicky patted the boy's head lightly and said softly: "Alex is obedient, when the magic salon is over, how about the eldest brother take you to Moon Lake to fish?"
The boy immediately jumped up for joy: "Yes, yes, big brother, you have to talk and talk." ”
Vicky smiled charmingly. said: "Of course, when did I lie to you." Alright, go to your grandfather's side. ”
"This guy ......," Ruhrmann asked, settling his grandson into place, "Wiki." What did you do and why did you come?"
Vicky shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, I went to the Magi's Council to sign up, I wasn't as easy as these guys, and I couldn't get a recommendation." I had to work hard to take the exam. Don't waste time, please continue. ”
As soon as the wiki appeared, the atmosphere suddenly became strange. The girls scrambled to speak, but the boys didn't seem to be able to lift their spirits.
Luhrmann had expected this kind of scene and felt a little laughable and crying, which was a big reason why he didn't want Wiki to come. But in order to make his grandson obedient, he had to use this method.
The magic salon continues again, these noble children have been educated since they were young, and the foundation is naturally not to be said, and those who dare to come to the magic salon will not be too bad. Under the constant guidance of Luhrmann, for a while, various learning, casting, and meditation experiences emerged one after another, although the height was completely impossible to compare with the mathematical seminar in Castle Rock, Leo still felt that he had benefited a lot.
"Well, there is a lot of aristocrats showing off their achievements to each other, but this kind of exchange can indeed bring inspiration, and this trip is really not in vain. Leo touched his chin and muttered to himself.
Seeing that most of the people had finished speaking, the scene began to be cold, and Luhrmann said helplessly: "Wiki, you are really honest today, now it's your turn." ”
"Grandpa Ruhrmann, I didn't want to participate today, but your housekeeper brought me here, so I didn't prepare anything, so I'm not ashamed. Viki shook his head, then his eyes lit up, and he continued, "But I just finished a poem last night, and I might be able to share it with you." ”
"Forget it, this is a magic salon, not an art salon. Ruhrmann quickly refused, if he was really allowed to recite poetry, the girls would definitely go crazy, and the rest of the activities would be greatly affected.
He quickly made a round of the circle, and finally his eyes fell on Leo.
"Although this kid is participating for the first time, since he dares to come, he should not be completely unprepared. Thinking of this, Luhrman said, "Leo, do you have any tips for learning magic to share with us?"
"I haven't been learning magic for a long time, and I don't have a lot of experience, so I'll share with you how to improve the speed and accuracy of calculations. Leo said what he had already planned.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the audience was suddenly silent, and even the wiki, which had never been interested, looked at Leo with a little curiosity. (To be continued......)
