Chapter 34 Is Magic Such an Inconvenient Thing?
Xifei is a very good tutor. She teaches students very attentively, especially during the question-and-answer session, she is very patient.

Wayne also studied very hard.

It can be seen that the teacher is too excellent.

With Xifei's strength, teaching him the basics of magic is undoubtedly a waste of talent, even more exaggerated than using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Wayne didn't want to miss this opportunity and showed his extraordinary learning ability and memory. He was like a sponge, madly absorbing the nutrients fed by Sphy.

It is more like exploitation than extraction.

Xifei quietly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. This student was too terrible. If it were her, someone else would have been drained dry by Wayne.

Under Sphy's guidance, Wayne opened the 'Four Elements' chapter according to the table of contents.

The Hexagram Magic Book contains some magic that is closely related to the four elements. There are not many magics. Each element corresponds to three to four spells, and there are less than fifteen spells in total.

Mastering the four elements and releasing the corresponding basic magic is the basic course for magicians. Magic and divine arts related to faith are counted separately and have never been included in the Hexagram Magic Book.

It is useless to include them. These magics are stamped with faith and can only be performed by the corresponding believers of the gods. They are inherited among church members.

Wayne asked a lot of questions, and Healy answered them one by one.

Wayne was shocked that the magicians in this world could cast magic instantly. Basic magic was cast instantly with proficiency, and advanced magic was cast instantly with faith. Unless the mind was confused, the magician would not get stuck in battle.

The situation of lack of blue is calculated separately.

"I told you before that everyone's hexagram focuses on different things, so the basic magic they are good at is also different."

Sifty pointed to the lines of spells, explained them to Wayne word by word, and analyzed the deeper meaning behind the spells, allowing Wayne to understand what magic spells are more intuitively.

"To put it simply, a spell is a formula for finding the form of magic. What kind of spell you use will determine what kind of magic you get."

"Powerful magicians can create their own formulas. They are not bound by spells. Even if it is a divine spell related to faith, they can innovate with their own thinking and will to find the most suitable form of magic for themselves."

"So, the spell is not important. The key is the thought."

The purpose of spells is to express formulas more intuitively. It is the thinking process of a magician when using magic. The popularization of formulas allows beginners to easily master magic.

For example, the commonly used formula for the area of ​​a right triangle is S=1/2ab. Beginners don’t need to know why, they can solve the problem by just remembering this formula.

After doing the questions a hundred times, the answers will become clear. In this way, it is natural for a magician to be able to cast magic instantly.

Wayne nodded. He understood this principle. Chris once said that the way magic changes reality depends on the magician's thinking. Magic power is just a lever and thinking is the key. There is no need to worry about spells. Magic is not such an inconvenient thing!

Chris: Thank you, that’s not what I said.

Wayne coveted the magic formulas in the book and couldn't wait to try them out. He glanced at Sphynx and saw the royal sister teacher smiling and encouraging him, so he chanted the spell and cast it for the first time.

The last transformation doesn’t count, it was so confusing and he still hasn’t figured it out yet.

Not surprisingly, Wayne's attempt failed.

Xifei smiled and answered: "You have too little magic power. Of course, it's not just magic power. The more important reason is the hexagram. You lack four elements in your body, and you haven't even lit them up."

Perhaps Xifei was a little nearsighted, so she took out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and put them on. The glasses slightly concealed her aggressive and sharp appearance, adding a bit of intellectual and elegant charm.

She returned the pages to the hexagram, pointed at them one by one, and said, "Generally speaking, students who can skillfully use two types of elemental magic are very outstanding, and those who can skillfully use three are rare geniuses..."

“Four are almost nonexistent!”

"The difficulty lies in the two opposing elements of water and fire, which in humans represent the strength of desire."

"Those with strong desires are good at fire, those with low desires are good at water, and those with perfectly balanced desires... are good at neither fire nor water."

"Earth and wind are the most favored elements among mages, and most mages are proficient in using them."

Xifei came slowly: "The former can give the mages a strong body. Although they are mages, everyone has a heart for close combat. For example, I am very good at close combat... Forget it, I am a special case, so I won't say more here."

"The popularity of wind is easier to understand. It is the breath of life, it means good health, and it means eternal youth. Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, every living being dreams of it."

"In contrast, water and fire are incompatible. Deliberately pursuing a perfect balance between the two elements will only lead to failure twice. It is not worth the effort. It is enough to be good at either water or fire."

"Sister, I am from an academic school. The instructors of the academic school tend to let students suppress their desires, that is, master the water element. Strong desires mean ambition, which is a good thing, but strong desires seriously interfere with the thinking of a mage, that is, me in the hexagram."

"I will gradually lose my mind when I am carried away by desire, and when I come into contact with Sora, I will fall deeper and deeper, and eventually become a black wizard with an extreme personality."

Xifei said solemnly: "The students are too young to resist temptation. You too should not have too much contact with the fire elements in the outside world. They will strengthen your desires and make you greedy, irritable, lustful, lazy, arrogant, and easily jealous of others' achievements."

Wayne: "..."

Just talk if you want to talk, and don't look at me. I'm not arrogant, nor am I jealous of anyone.

Xifei once again emphasized the horror of desire, turned the page back to the chapter on the four elements, finished explaining all the spells, and entered the most critical part of tonight's class.

Meditation method!
"Meditation can strengthen the mind and can also be used to cultivate magic power. Let's do something simple tonight. Try to communicate with the four elements through meditation. Don't worry about it for now. It's too early for you to go to the vast world. It's very dangerous there..."

Sphy warned: "Basic magic knowledge is enough for you to ignite the hexagram. Remember this, don't go beyond it and don't try to challenge yourself. Your current thinking cannot withstand too strong an impact." Wayne nodded obediently, and after becoming familiar with the meditation method, he looked at Sphy with interest.

"There's really nothing I can do about you!"

Xifei took off her glasses and said, "Give it a try. It doesn't matter if you fail. The meditation method passed down by the church is very gentle. And I'll be watching you. You'll be fine."

Wayne couldn't wait to cross his legs and sit upright on the sofa.

There are no strict requirements on the meditation posture in the meditation method. You can stand, lie down, stand upside down, or lie on your stomach with your butt sticking up. You can use whichever posture is comfortable and makes it easier for you to get into the state.

Wayne sits cross-legged purely out of personal obsession, treating magic as a way of cultivating immortality.

With the help of meditation, Wayne's breathing gradually became even, and he seemed to have an extra pair of eyes, a pair of gray eyes.

Through these eyes, Wayne saw a grayish-white world, very much like an X-ray. He saw the gray Sphy opposite him, and the four elements of light lurking in his body.

More often than not, there are the four elements of light floating in nature: calm earth, restless fire, tranquil water, and lively wind.

Something feels wrong!

Wrong perspective!

Wayne found that his vision was at the chest level. He did not have a pair of eyes, but only one eye, which was much larger than that of ordinary people.

Damn, the aftereffects of the fusion with the Book of Greed are still there!

Wayne was just about to stop meditating and ask Sphy if it was too late to save his life when he heard Sphy's guiding voice.

"Wayne, stretch out your hands and embrace the elements of nature. Remember not to communicate with the fire element. That is desire, and you cannot control it now."

Wayne followed the instructions and tried to stretch out his hands, which were full of pathological wrinkles. He thought it would be difficult, but he succeeded at once.

Several slimy tentacles stretched out.

Wayne: "..."

What on earth am I now?
Forget it, let’s just leave it like this, tentacles and such, just happen to correspond to magical girls!
The elements were frightened and quickly ran away.

The soil runs the slowest, the wind runs the fastest, and the water is almost crying!
Only the fire was different. It stopped after running two steps. The fire elements were very interested in Wayne. After a brief hesitation, they were eager to play sticky games with the tentacles.

Wayne kept Xifei's teachings in mind and only allowed the fire elements to rub against him, never letting them enter his body.

He rejected the enthusiastic fire element and stretched out his tentacles to plunder the light spots of the three elements of earth, wind and water.

That's right, plunder.

There is one here, and there is one here too. Wow, let me see if there is one hidden here?
Hehehe, I caught you!

Wherever the tentacles passed, the three elements fled. Any unlucky ones who were caught would struggle hard, crying and shouting for their companions to pull them up.

Companion: If you want to die, do it yourself, let go of my hand immediately!

Across the desk, green light flashed in Xifei's eyes. She did not see Wayne's big eyes, nor did she see the tentacles that bullied boys and girls. She only saw Wayne taking the light spots into his body one by one.

What a terrifying elemental affinity!
The elements were so fond of Wayne after his first meditation that they all rushed to express their responses. What will happen in the future?

Xifei remembered the first time she meditated, because the elements were difficult to communicate with, she put in a lot of effort. In the end, she only introduced two elements, earth and wind. In terms of quantity, there was one earth and one wind, and that was it.

All her classmates ended up failing, but the teacher praised her as a genius. Her position as the district high priest also proved that the teacher was right, she was indeed a genius.

And Wayne...

"Gudu!"

Xifei swallowed her saliva, her eyes lit up, and she was grateful for the blessing of the Goddess of Nature, which allowed her to get there first and intercept Wayne before the followers of the Moonlight Goddess.

She was about to praise Wayne, but when the words came to her lips she was afraid that if she praised him too much, he would become conceited and arrogant, which would be detrimental to his future growth.

Suppress it first, it’s never too late to praise it later.

After a while, Wayne woke up from meditation. It was his first time meditating and he couldn't maintain the state for long. He felt his head buzzing and he needed to rest for a while.

He looked at Xifei expectantly, wanting to know what his talent was like, good or very good?
"Not bad, just average, barely above average, but don't be discouraged. You're slightly inferior to the geniuses, but you're much better than the idiots."

Xi Fei said seriously: "For example, a genius like me, when I first meditated, I captured thousands... Forget it, I won't discourage you here."

You've struck!

Wayne sighed. It was true. The total number of light spots of the four elements was less than thirty. Compared with the thousands of light spots of Shifi, it was indeed a bit disappointing.

It’s all because of the elements’ lack of cooperation!
"Teacher, magic is so difficult..."

Heaphy: ()
Well, you really deserve a beating.
