Chapter 9: Elemental Magic
"I'm going to kill you!!!" Aupis roared, forgetting to use his magic and pounced on Gaia like an angry monkey.
Gaia vomited for a while, and her stomach was much more comfortable, but as soon as she straightened her waist, she saw the red-robed young man rushing towards him like crazy, and he immediately pounced on him without fear and twisted it together.
Although Aides is eleven years old and one size older than Gaia, the name of Gaia's country bully is not in vain, and Shad's body is similar to that of Aerys, and Shade has learned some martial arts since he was a child, but even so, Shad can't beat Gaia, let alone a pampered young master like Abisi.
If Abius can keep his distance from Gaia and release his magic, even the three Gaias may not be the opponent of Apius, a junior magician, but he has gone crazy and wants to fight Gaia hand-to-hand, and the result can be imagined.
The noise in the aisle has attracted many onlookers, most of them are small magicians who can release magic, they are also here to see the excitement, as the scuffle time is extended, there are more onlookers, and the aisle has been blocked for a while.
"Do you accept it or not!!" Gaia shouted at him as she once again pinned Aupes to the ground.
Abius no longer had the slightest strength, and the reason why he was able to fight with Gaia, who was like a beast, for so long was entirely due to that outburst of anger, but as the hand-to-hand combat really began, he gradually lost that momentum, and was finally knocked to the ground repeatedly.
"Gaia, forget it, let's go. Seeing that Aepis could no longer move, Tris also persuaded. He had been watching the fight, and he wanted to fix Aepis with his fists, but he found that Gaia alone was enough, so he shouted in relief.
"Hmph, if you dare to insult Triss in the future, I want you to look good!" Gaia got up with a mouth full of filth, and walked out on his toes.
"Oh, Abith, is it really you? how did you get beaten up like this by a young imp who just entered the academy. Then a voice in the crowd cried out, and the man who spoke was clearly intent on mocking Aepis.
"I heard that there is a wild boy Gaia in the first grade, and his magic talent is level six, could it be that the little storm monkey just now is Gaia? Haha, the first-year magic apprentice defeated the third-grade junior magician! Another person shouted, and for a moment the entire third floor was in an uproar.
Tris and Gaia quickly broke away from the crowd and ran back to the dormitory, where the two children dressed in very different clothes suddenly looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time.
Both of them are still children under the age of ten, so they naturally don't care about the consequences, but the thought of cleaning up that arrogant guy makes their hearts feel happy. Especially Tris, he was often bullied by Apis when he didn't enter the magic academy before, and today he was finally relieved, if it weren't for the fact that he was his cousin, maybe Tris would have gone up and kicked a few times.
"Ouch!" Laughing and laughing, Gaia suddenly felt a pain in her stomach and couldn't help but scream.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" asked Tris, who also stopped laughing.
Gaia lifted her clothes, and at a glance saw a twenty-centimeter-long bruise on her belly, and poked it with her finger, and suddenly there was a tingling pain.
"Ah, you've been struck by magic, this ...... This should be his magic specialty, the Wind Blade. Tris said nervously when he saw the wound.
"That'...... So what to do, it seems that it is difficult to recover, ouch, it hurts. "I wasn't in a state of excitement for a fight, so I didn't feel much pain, but now that I'm cooling, I realize this serious problem.
"Go to Misho tomorrow and ask him to help you heal with water magic. Triss said.
"Well, this magic is really magical, by the way, when will we be able to release the magic?, and what kind of water magic can help people heal their injuries?" Gaia has an unusual desire for magic, especially when she heard that water can heal wounds, and if she learns it, she can help those in the village who are injured from hunting.
"We're just apprentices in magic now, and we have to go through a year of meditation to reach the apprentice magician, then sign a contract with the gods, and then start sensing the wind element, until we release a wind magic, we can only be considered a junior magician, and as for water magic, we can't learn until at least a senior magician. "Tris was born into a wealthy family, and he knows a little bit about magic, and he began to teach Gaia some of the most basic things.
"Do you have to be advanced to learn water magic?" said Gaia, forgetting about the wound and continuing to ask.
"Yes, a junior mage can only learn the magic of the wind system, an intermediate mage can learn the earth system, a senior mage can learn the water system, a great mage can learn the fire system, and a mage can learn the light system...... I didn't know after that. Triss said.
"Isn't it true that you learn all the magic at once?" said Gaia, a little disappointed, wishing he could unleash his brilliant magic at will.
"Of course not, and I don't know why. Triss replied.
The next day, when Gaia went to find Misho-sensei, after asking Misho-chan to heal his wound, Gaia also asked about the doubts he had about yesterday's conversation with Tris.
Michaeu didn't ask about the cause of Gaia's injury, but patiently explained the basics of magic to him:
First of all, the level of magician, magic apprentice, apprentice magician, junior magician, intermediate magician, advanced magician, grand magician, magician, archmagister, holy magician.
Magicians of all levels can learn the corresponding elemental magic, from the lowest level of wind, earth, water, fire, light, and thunder. Therefore, depending on the level of a certain magician, it is only necessary to see what kind of elemental magic he can unleash. For example, those who can release water magic are at least high-level magicians, and those who can release fire magic are at least great magicians.
As for what more powerful elemental magic the Grand Magus and Holy Magus can unleash, Gaia also asked, but Mixiu didn't say, after all, he himself only reached the level of a Magister, and for Gaia, it was a long process, and there was no point in knowing it in advance.
Mi Xiu also explained a little about why different levels of magicians can practice magic of different elements:
The elements are all around us, for example, the wind, we can often sense the wind blowing, this is the wind element, so the wind is the easiest to sense the magic element, when the magician's spiritual power reaches a higher level, it will successively sense the earth element, the water element, and the fire element...... The further back you go, the harder it is for those elements to absorb for your own use.
In fact, the level of a magician is divided from sensing and controlling these elements, for example, a magician who can sense and control the fire element is called a fire elemental magician, but because a magician at this level does not only release fire-based magic, but also wind, earth, and water, so another level of magician is specified, that is, a junior magician, an intermediate magician......
Mi Xiu only explained to Gaia and Tris the basic division of magicians and did not go any further, but taught them the most basic cultivation method of magicians - meditation, and then let the two of them leave.
Meditation is a compulsory course for every magician, and when a magician meditates, he can not only quickly replenish his mana, but also expand his mana capacity. If you look inside the body through meditation, you will find that there is a magic cyclone in the mage's body, and the magic power stored in this cyclone is determined by the size of the magic cyclone.
Of course, for Gaia, who is only an apprentice magician, this magic cyclone is still not available for the time being, and his current task is to cultivate a magic cyclone through meditation, so that he will change from a magic apprentice to a trainee magician. This process generally takes a year for Nickelodeon Academy students.
Therefore, it takes at least more than a year for a magician to release magic, because after cultivating the cyclone, he has to sign a contract with the gods, and after the contract, he has to sense the most active wind element in heaven and earth, and finally through countless exercises, he can truly release a magic.
"Cultivating magic is an exceptionally difficult and long path, and it is only through unremitting efforts that you can become a great magician. This was what Mishew said to him when he saw that Gai Xu was a little down.
