Chapter 542 The Essence of the Theory of Harmlessness of Magic
  This…

Why are there still high-level magicians here who have not been promoted to new magisters?
  Ives was deeply puzzled, and then quickly captured the commonality among these people under the restriction of not being promoted but meeting the promotion standards, that is, these magicians have all passed the experience called "Life" 'A special test!

So, after a brief deliberation, he finally spoke tentatively: "Is it because of the 'realization of life'?"

"It seems that you have found the key to the problem." He glanced appreciatively at Water Begonia, whose expression still contained a lot of astonishment and was thinking seriously. Claude nodded slightly, and then his tone was as calm as ever. Wen Wen said, "Yes, the prerequisite for knowing these things is through 'realization of life', but not everyone who has passed this test knows the details."

what?
  why?
  After hearing the turning point in the second half of the sentence, Ives, who was just a little glad that he had grasped the key to the problem, couldn't help but feel puzzled and shocked again.

However, unlike before, this time he was not surprised by the words themselves, but by another layer of truth behind them.

That is, there are still a group of magicians who have successfully been promoted, but they do not know that the so-called essence of magic is a twisted truth.

As if seeing his doubts, Claude spoke again at this moment: "Perhaps I should put it another way, only magicians who have truly witnessed the entire 'realization of life' know these truths."

True testimony…

Ives silently criticized the other party's choice of words, but the more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became. According to Teacher Claude, is there anything in this world that can pass the 'realization of life' without the need for everyone to witness it? ……

"What do you think the 'realization of life' is? Is it an incomprehensible test? Or is it a screening that only a select few need to go through? No, it is neither. The so-called 'realization of life' broadly refers to all After a senior magician meets the standards for promotion to a new magician in the third stage of magic power and control of magic, he will face a disaster related to his personal life at an unknown time in the future.

The ‘realization of life’ in the narrow sense is a screening of the supporters of order by the [Law]. So what to use to filter? It depends on whether you have the ability to witness the 'realization of life' in a broad sense. In addition to their different understanding of the world, there is another huge difference between the two."

Having said this, Claude couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then looked at the Water Begonia opposite him with a deep look, "The former passed the test because he was in a coma, while some of the latter passed the test in a semi-coma or even fully awake state. state."

"So you were promoted while sober?"

Avis nodded clearly, but cautiously made a few more confirmations.

"Yes, several of our 'Cornerstones' and 'Sky Witnesses' were promoted while awake."

Claude answered calmly.

"I see."

Seeing that his teacher did not describe this aspect in depth, Ives was very knowledgeable and did not ask more, and turned the topic back to the content of the initial discussion between the two, "So the core concept of the true theory of harmless magic is What?" "Magic is harmless, emotions are harmful. More specifically, this involves the nature of magic and the 'realization of life'. My personal suggestion is to wait until you pass the 'realization of life' before considering it. Otherwise, That’s going to cause you some extra trouble.”

Claude gave his warning succinctly.

"So the essence of the theory of harmless magic is to use mental power to influence magic, so that magic can ultimately be cast by the user's thoughts?"

Recalling his teacher's battle yesterday afternoon, Avis tentatively spoke with some uncertainty.

"Yes, in fact, every time we use magic, it is a game of mind and emotion. But in many cases, the vast majority of magicians will not notice this, and what we insist on is to use this The magic-using skills that are closer to the reality of the world will be passed on. And you who have seen my 'talent' should also know what this means."

"Spiritual assimilation."

Avis answered with a hint of trepidation.

"Yes, when you have the magical characteristic of [Assimilation], you will undoubtedly be more suitable for the ideas I inherit than others. I can even say that your magical characteristic, in a sense, is The product of your unconscious practice of magical harmlessness.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the expression on Avis's face suddenly froze.

He had previously imagined many reasons why his teacher would be willing to become his teacher again, but he did not expect that the facts before him were so absurd...

He used to hate the twisted idea of ​​harmlessness of magic and the supporters of harmlessness of magic, but he never expected that in the end he was the first to practice the core idea of ​​harmlessness of magic...

Although after the explanation from the current leader of the 'harmless theory of magic', he found that he seemed to have accepted the concept of 'magic is harmless', but this feeling of being teased by fate still made him feel uncomfortable, so much so that Even dozens of seconds later, he still could not recover from the indescribable shock.

"So, when I heard that you had perfected the magical properties of [Assimilation], I was happy from the bottom of my heart. I even wanted to ignore the original agreement with your father and let you become my real student, but I was very disappointed. Clearly, it is not a good thing for you to join the 'Sky Scholars'. Your father and your grandfather do not want you to bear other pressures as a sage assistant. Originally, all this should not happen It’s a big change, but what happened in the small town of Selia finally shattered my original idea.”

There was silence between each other for a long time. Seeing that the sage assistant of the North District of Water had slowly calmed down, Claude sighed with some complicated emotions.

"I understand." Seeing this calm and elegant teacher rarely showing such extremely complex emotions, Ives nodded slightly, but in the end did not say his apology related to the investigation of the 'Sky Scholar' He came out and asked seriously according to his routine regulations on the mainland: "Then, Teacher Claude, I already have a relatively clear understanding of the core concept of 'Magic Harmlessness Theory' , do I need to join the 'Sky Scholar' now?"
