Chapter 130 The charm of magic, Rudeus's 'domain'

The wind in the courtyard passed through the gaps between the red and white hair.

Alice looked at Sylphy's hand.

"Then why doesn't Sylphy learn swordsmanship?"

The reddish-brown pupils shifted in their sockets and glanced behind them.

Sylphy smiled.

It was indeed because of Alan that she became interested in swordsmanship at first. She still clearly remembered the scene of him swinging his sword and showing his fighting spirit beside the irrigation canal.

But later when she realized that her "talent" was more suitable for magic, she chose to learn magic from Rudy.

This was a choice she made based on her intuition when she was young.

But now thinking about it, the reason why I followed Alan's advice was not for anything else, but because it was the fastest way to integrate into their small group of "friends".

If I really don't have the talent for swordsmanship as Alan said, if I can't learn to wield a sword and unleash his obviously difficult skills, will I be alone again?
It now appears that the answer is no.

Alan would not allow himself to continue to be bullied by his peers in the village.

It has nothing to do with swordsmanship or magic.

But at that time, I followed my heart and made a choice that was more suitable for the current situation.

So where is Alice's true intention now?

In the carriage in the rain.

Just as her heart was then beside the silt of the irrigation canal.

Then we have the answer to how to persuade Alice to take magic lessons.

Think more, think more.

The answer to solving the problem is right in front of you.

This was something she had learned from Alan.

Sylphy's soft voice crawled into Alice's ears along the wind.

"Because I figured out the original purpose of learning swordsmanship, I no longer insist on learning swordsmanship. As long as I can achieve the goal I want to achieve, whether it is swordsmanship or magic, it is fine."

Sylphy's somewhat lenient words made the young lady confused.

"Huh? Original intention?"

"Yes, the original intention. What was Alice's original intention for agreeing to let us be your tutors?"

"Do you agree with your original intention of becoming a tutor?"

Alice frowned and thought for a while. Logically, she should have thought of the 'beginning' of the invitation to a tutor by the Greylat family in Buena Village.

But at this moment, along with the sound of these words, what came into his mind was the arrow that shot into the carriage in the rain and struggled in front of Allen's palm.

And the brilliant sparks from the violent collision between the long sword and the dagger in the air, which was right in front of him.

That scene was so impressive.

This was her real reason for accepting "home tutoring" completely.

Alice hugged her chest and subconsciously opened her mouth to express her true feelings, but after her eyes wandered towards Alan for a moment, she blurted out:

"It is the secret of 'flow'!"

The tsundere nature of a rabid dog in its childhood.

Sylphy had been staring at Alice's face, and after hearing these words, she smiled with a sense of accomplishment.

She clapped her hands gently, as if to express that she had received Alice's message, and at the same time turned her head to look at Rudy and Allen beside her.

The latter two were stunned.

The tacit understanding that they had gained in Buena Village for more than two years instantly made them realize what Sylphy wanted to do.

She is persuading Alice to learn magic.

As for the method, it is based on his familiarity with Allen's swordsmanship skills and his own familiarity with magic.
Alan and Rudy looked at each other, only to see him casually stroking the air.

Two leaves fell into his palm.

Alan walked up to Alice.

Put your hands in front of Alice's eyes.

The latter subconsciously looked at his hand.

This moment.

The leaves 'floated' in the palm of his hand.

The leaves hover in the air between your hands.

It's like a fish swimming with its tail in its mouth, in the transparent water.

Alice's eyes lit up with great interest as she looked at Alan's palm.

The latter's voice sounded.

"The mysteries of the three swordsman schools are, in the final analysis, the unique fighting spirit release techniques of each school."

"Water God Style - Secret of Style."

"The essence is to release the fighting spirit in a high-quality, compressed and heavy state onto the skin in the form of water, giving it the quality of 'flowing', thereby changing the direction of the force."

"If we extend this process and continuously release Dou Qi to correct the direction of the 'water flow', it will become what you see now."

Alan pointed his finger at the fish floating in the air above his palm - the latter was not swimming actively in the air, but was driven by the high-quality compressed and condensed fighting spirit that Alan continuously released, constantly changing direction.

"You want to learn this not because it is powerful in itself, but more because of its visual impact. In other words, it looks very 'wonderful' and powerful, right?"

The mad dog nodded and pecked at the rice.

"Yes!" "Want to learn?"

"miss you!"

"Then you must first reach the level of releasing your fighting spirit. This is the foundation for learning the mysteries of the flow."

Alice raised an eyebrow.

"Fighting spirit released?"

Gileno had walked up to the three of them at some point, and was leaning forward slightly to stare at Alan's palm. She was knowledgeable and knew very well that Alan's seemingly simple 'trick' was based on extremely skilled fighting spirit release techniques and extremely condensed fighting spirit quality.

As expected, he is the recognized leader of the younger generation in the Suishin-ryu Dojo.

She narrowed her eyes and answered Alice's question.

"The secret of flow is a skill to control the outward release of fighting spirit. If you can't even release fighting spirit, then there is no way you can learn the secret of flow."

Alice was anxious.

"How do I learn to release my fighting spirit?"

"Keep practicing swordsmanship, and when you reach the level of an advanced swordsman, you will have the ability to release your fighting spirit. No, it would be more accurate to say that if you have mastered the ability to release your fighting spirit, you will be at the level of an advanced swordsman."

Alice's smile froze.

Of course she knew that she was only at the beginner Sword God level at this moment.

Alan looked at Alice's face as her smile gradually disappeared.

"You will undoubtedly need a long time to continue improving your fighting spirit and practicing swordsmanship before you can acquire the prerequisites for this skill. This will take at least a year, and after that, it will take more than a year or two for you to master the secrets of the flow."

Alice's mouth drooped.

".Then. How long will that take!?"

"At least two years, at most five years, considering your current level as a 9-year-old junior swordsman."

"."

Alan blinked, saw the light in Alice's eyes suddenly disappear, and the corners of her mouth turned more and more downward, and realized that the fish had taken the bait.

He changed the subject.

"But there is a way for you to shorten this process."

Alice instantly became happy again after hearing this.

"any solution!?"

As he spoke with a high-pitched ending, Gileno glanced thoughtfully behind Alan, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Allen's response was powerful.

"magic!"

Alice raised her fiery red eyebrows.

"what?"

"To perform such a wonderful trick, you don't need years of practice, you only need entry-level magic skills to do it."

Alan looked at Alice and laughed.

At the same time, he moved aside to make way for the people behind him.

Rudius.

He raised his palm in exactly the same posture as Alan.

Put it in front of Alice's face.

On the palm of his hand.

In the sight of Alice, Gilena, Sylphy, and Allen.

A series of leaves 'bite' each other's tails, entangled into a circle, rolling and jumping.

Playing in the hands of a Saint-level magician.

“It doesn’t take years of practice.”

"It only takes low-level magic—blowing magic—to do it."

“That’s the beauty of magic.”

Alice looked at Rudy's palm in surprise. After a long while, she frowned and looked up suddenly.

Contrary to expectations, Rudy didn't have the annoying expression he had when he "went against" her, nor did he have a lewd smile with both corners of his mouth curled up at the same time.

He just looked at the palm of his hand calmly, with an expression somewhat like Allen's.

Exudes strong confidence.

Why be confident?

Because Alan had told him so many times during those two years.

"Rudeus, don't be timid. You can be more confident when it comes to magic."

“This is your talent.”

"this."

"It's your domain."

　The current protagonists are Alice and Rudy who don't get along very well. We don't ask Alice to fall in love with Rudy, but she shouldn't always look down on him either.

　　Facing the strengths of others is itself a form of growth.
