Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 150 Lloyd's Magic Academy

Step out of the focused state of mind.

This time, Lu Cang's thinking about magic was no longer about the depth of magic itself.

Instead, he was thinking outwards, pondering the past of this magic, the intentions of the person who created it, and how to make others understand the meaning behind it.

Magic is more than just understanding how it is constructed and how it is cast.

It also has something like a certain artistic conception or atmosphere...

By following the artistic conception and gathering magical power, it is only a natural thing to condense magic.

However, if one tries to memorize everything and follow the descriptions in the magic book to circulate magic power along fixed lines, it becomes more complicated.

"Make spellcasting a part of your body's instincts."

"It's like unleashing a combat technique; you don't have to think about it, your body just moves."

"Indeed... all methods are interconnected."

Lu Cang closed the magic book and sighed.

I wonder if switching to archer or assassin would give me a different understanding of combat skills and magic?
The more we verify, the more certain we become about the root cause.

This makes it even more difficult for Lu Cang to prove the opposite.

If it weren't for Izzy having already proven the opposite of its origins.

If one did not know the unique nature of Root Magic, all sorts of thinking could lead to the Root.

Otherwise, Lu Cang would have doubted whether the opposite of the root cause was something verifiable.

"Have you thought about it yet?"

Lu Cang nodded: "Yes, it should be fine."

Back in college, Lu Cang had hosted a few events and given a few speeches, so he had some experience in that area.

Moreover, they are now more spiritually advanced.

They are much smarter than in their previous life, and there won't be any other problems.

"Yes, there's still an hour before class. Fize is on his way."

"What did you think of the magic of those monsters in yesterday's dungeon?"

The two then started talking about magic again.

Yesterday's experience in the dungeon was novel for both Izzy and Lu Cang, even Izzy had never encountered so many Sunken Land-level monsters before.

Once this topic was brought up, the two seemed to have endless things to talk about.

Lu Cang said, "I think those spells are indeed exquisite. The intelligence of demons probably cannot master such complex magic... But if those spells are imitated from the people they have killed, they all seem very reasonable."

"Moreover, I think most of their characteristics come from this."

"Yes... Magic is a product of wisdom, and low-spiritual monsters simply cannot master true magic and combat skills. This is why their battles are mostly based on instinct."

Lu Cang said, "In other words, if one's spirituality is too low, it is difficult to practice any of the rules."

Iz: "But you're wrong about one thing. Yesterday, I exchanged a few magic blows with that Myriad-Body True Soul. Its magic is very interesting. Although many of its spells come from those souls and have human shadows, in reality... they belong to the magic of demons."

"Monster magic?"

Lu Cang looked up at Iz, his expression showing some surprise.

"Yes, these spells are actually perfectly aligned with their bodies and instincts."

“It’s not the same as simple imitation; it has its own magic.”

"Have you noticed that although those spells originate from the soul, they are still controlled by the monsters themselves?"

This response made Lu Cang think.

Lu Cang carefully pondered the meaning behind Iz's words, noticing details he hadn't noticed at the time.

“I have deconstructed their magic. This is a third-tier soul magic that I have constructed. Even if your level is low now, you should be able to learn it.”

Iz raised her hand, and several layers of white magic circles overlapped and lit up.

It's already been deconstructed?
Ugh……

Lu Cang recalled that he had asked Iz about this when he was in the City of Circles.

How can I learn the magic someone else is casting just by looking at it?
Izzy's answer was: "If you see what kind of magic someone else is casting, you should be able to figure out how that magic is constructed."

Based on the structure, can't we deduce the release method and the circuit formed by magic in the body?
Knowing these things, wouldn't we then know the root language of magic?
Once you know the root language, and combine it with the structure and magic circuits, wouldn't you know everything about this magic?
Ok……

Lu Cang made up his mind, and he babbled on and on about things he couldn't do yet.

To put it bluntly, these already formed magic spells are already a reality. What's the difference between stone-making magic and real megaliths?
Just by looking at a stone, can you imagine how it was created by magic?
Completely incomprehensible.

Not to mention the more complex magic.

Lu Cang believes that perhaps it is because Izzy has an extremely high level of spirituality that she is so strong in magic.

But it was later discovered that it wasn't entirely a spiritual matter; Izzy's spirituality might not be as strong as hers...

He just has a high talent for magic.

In many other aspects, Izzy's talent is only slightly better than that of the average person.

There's no such thing as having an extremely high level of spirituality, the feeling of instantly grasping anything you're learning.

So... why is he so talented in magic?
It's truly a complex mystery.

Soul magic was constructed by Iz, and its intricate construction allowed Lu Cang to understand it very intuitively.

Lu Cang's current understanding of the soul has far surpassed that of ordinary people.

The magic that Iz created was indeed unique and unlike anything I had ever seen before.

Speculation then began to unfold around this magic.

Recalling the events of yesterday through reflection.

The two were engrossed in their discussion.

……

dong dong dong-

After an unknown amount of time, a knock sounded at the door.

Lu Cang finally snapped out of his reverie from the heated discussion...

“Come in,” Iz said.

Permission was granted.

The doorknob was turned, and Fize, wearing a top hat, walked in.

"Iz, we meet again."

Fize hung his hat on the coat rack beside him and said, "Sigh, you refused to show yourself in the war. Loren and Rega lost so many people..."

Iz sighed and shook her head: "Fize, if you're here to talk about the war, then please leave. I'll take Lu Cang to the Mage Association to apply for special membership myself."

Fize paused, then chuckled, "Haha... Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

When Fei Ze saw Lu Cang, he walked over and squatted down in front of Lu Cang.

"It's only been a little over two months since I last saw you, but you seem to have grown quite a bit taller."

"When your uncle last saw you, you were only waist-high."

Iz laughed and said, "You've definitely grown quite a bit taller."

"I heard he's already a level 3 warrior. Was the job change phenomenon this morning his?"

Fize exclaimed, "It's only been a few months... and he's already mastered the fundamental magic and the ultimate combat techniques."

"Iz, I really envy you. You've found a great apprentice."

“You also have an apprentice,” Izzy said with a smile, sitting back down at the table and sipping her coffee.

"Sigh—oh dear—"

However, when Fize heard Iz mention his apprentice, he sighed repeatedly.

He kept shaking his head.

So, is being an outstanding child really a sin from birth?

Inevitably, people will compare it to others.

Fize, you really don't need to compare yourself to others...

After all, I am a true genius. If everyone could compare to a genius who is one in a million, then geniuses would be commonplace in this world.

Fize shook his head and sighed for a long time before finally speaking, "My apprentice has been awakened for five years and is still only a level 4 mage."

Iz: "Isn't this pretty good?"

Fize glanced at Iz, then at Lu Cang.

What’s good about it?

Even he himself had already broken through to level 5 mage in the fourth year, and then stayed at level 5 for a long time before finally reaching level 6 at the age of 25.

At this point, it had been ten years since I entered Level 6.

Going from 6 to 7 is indeed quite difficult, and it feels like it's a long way off.

But the thought of his apprentice getting stuck at level 4 magician filled him with a deep sense of disappointment and frustration.

"Oh, forget it."

"Little Lu Cang, this is your Mage Guild badge."

Give me your left hand, and I'll give you the mark of the Contract Mage Guild.

Lu Cang extended his left hand.

Leaving a contract mark on the back of the hand is one of the most common practices in the world.

A pale blue light flashed across the back of my hand.

Lu Cang felt that he had obtained the corresponding permission, and now he should be able to enter and exit some areas inside the Mage Association.

"All right."

"Thank you, Uncle Fize."

"Haha, work hard and surpass Iz in the future."

"That guy... sigh."

In Fize's view, if Izzy goes to war, the outcome of the war is a foregone conclusion.

There will be far fewer sacrifices and deaths.

Even if all three of Rega's level 6 job changers appeared together, they would have to give way to Izparut's sharp edge.

Perhaps, they could even unify the entire continent of Ruijia.

Regardless, given his deterrent power, there will definitely be far fewer casualties.

But he just wouldn't.

Therefore, many people died in the war.

But Fize also understood that Izzy's actions had not wronged anyone...

No one is wrong for not wanting to participate in a war.

Not to mention, Izz is not even a citizen of any country.

However, it would be even better if he were willing. And Lu Cang might be willing to do so in the future... I heard that Lu Cang has joined Loren; perhaps he will have ideas to change this continent in the future.

Iz glanced at the time: "Let's go, it's almost time for our appointment."

Lu Cang asked doubtfully, "Isn't it still early? There's still half an hour left."

Iz smiled and said, "Let me show you around the academy."

Lu Cang thought for a moment and said, "Well, that's fine too."

Fize: "Then I'll go check on my apprentice first."

Iz: "Okay, I won't see you out."

Lu Cang and Iz left the room.

The Loinz Magic Academy covers a vast area.

Looking at the map, it should be about ten times the size of my university in my previous life?
Classes and lessons are usually held in a complex of buildings called the "Tower of Knowledge".

Divided into [Tower of Souls], [Tower of Fire], [Tower of Ice], [Tower of Spirit], [Tower of Light]...

Different towers correspond to different schools of magic.

The different levels of the tower correspond to magic courses of levels 1 to 4.

Besides the teaching area, there are also areas such as a magic library, dormitories, a canteen, and a fighting arena...

It really does resemble the university I attended in my previous life.

and……

With his senses activated, Lu Cang also saw some non-human races.

Are those pointy ears of an elf?

Come to think of it, I've never asked Kumironi and Luluvi about their race, even though they both have pointed ears.

But the two seem to have some differences.

In addition, Lu Cang also saw a race with lizard tails.

They seem a bit like the legendary Argonians.

Lu Cang couldn't be sure either.

As Izzy walked and explained, they soon arrived at a standalone building.

"This is where you live at school."

"You can stay here if you don't want to go back home."

Lu Cang: "They even allocated houses."

Izzy laughed and said, "This is the most basic treatment. Since you teach here, you can naturally enjoy the benefits provided by the academy."

In just over twenty minutes, I hurriedly made my way around...

Before arriving, Lu Cang had never imagined that this place would be so vibrant.

I thought it was a group of magicians locked in a classroom, their daily lives consisting of burying themselves in learning magic.

I didn't expect it to be so relaxing.

There were even people playing ball and running... and what were those two doing? Hugging and kissing in public?
Are they here to learn magic or to find love?
They're being far too lax. How can they possibly master magic like this? Even someone with such high talent like myself has to spend a significant amount of time on magic every day. How dare they?

Lu Cang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Does low spirituality also lead to low self-control?

No, or perhaps they never really put their hearts into magic.

Perhaps it's because they traveled from a world without magic to a world with magic that they cherish the feeling of being able to use magic all the more.

Perhaps it was the unease of being a transmigrator, or perhaps it was the obsession with becoming the strongest.

All these factors combined mean that Lu Cang spends almost every day studying and doing anything related to becoming stronger.

The time available for relaxation is very limited.

Half an hour is indeed not enough time to visit too many places.

After a quick look around the campus, the two finally arrived at the Tower of Light.

The contract on the back of the hand lit up.

The restrictions on the tower were briefly lifted, and the two entered the tower.

The Tower of Light, a place to learn light magic.

The sensory output revealed that teachers had already arrived in many classrooms.

Lu Cang followed Izzy's lead and arrived at his own classroom.

Izzy sat down in the far corner of the classroom, his face shrouded in shadow, and no one noticed his presence.

Lu Cang then slowly walked to the podium.

This platform... isn't it a bit too high?

Only one head can be seen when standing.

This doesn't seem good.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Cang chose to float rather than cut off a section of the podium.

As Lu Cang stood on the podium, whispers inevitably arose from below.

"he is?"

"It's a child? But why is he wearing a lecturer's uniform?"

"Specially appointed senior lecturer?"

"Hey... this is a major course, right? Where's Professor Pimino?"

"I came to this class specifically because of his explanation!"

"Hey, isn't this supposed to be a paid, specialized course? This isn't what you're looking for!"

Lu Cang looked at Iz.

Izzy, you didn't say this class was paid beforehand. Didn't you say everything was arranged?
Ugh.

I sighed inwardly.

Forget it.

Lu Cang spoke, his loud voice carrying far and wide.

He said, "Everyone."

"Today's lesson on the art of daylight will be conducted by me on behalf of Teacher Pimino."

As soon as he finished speaking, voices continued to come from the audience.

"Little friend, who are you?"

Sitting in the first row, the white-haired man with glasses gestured for them to leave, saying, "The theory of magic is not a game of make-believe, kid. I don't know where you borrowed these clothes from, but you should go home now."

Lu Cang said in a calm tone, "But since this is our first meeting, let me introduce myself. I am Lu Cang, the chief mage of the Kingdom of Loren."

"For certain reasons, I am a specially appointed lecturer at Loinz College."

"From today onwards, we are teacher and students."

"Chief Mage?"

The white-haired man in the audience laughed so hard he slapped the table: "Haha, if you're the chief mage, then wouldn't I be the king!"

"Haha, why, why is there a comedy show today?"

Upon hearing the white-haired man's laughter, some slight snickers also rippled through the classroom.

"Brother, you think it's funny too, right?" the white-haired man said loudly, pulling his deskmate along.

However, he saw that his deskmate's face was ashen.

There wasn't a hint of a smile on his face.

Rather, it was more of a gloomy expression of fear.

Seeing his deskmate's reaction, the white-haired man's smile froze: "Hey... you're not really fooled by this kid, are you?"

However, his deskmate had a gloomy expression and pulled away his hand from his clothes, replying, "Stop talking."

The white-haired man suddenly sensed that something was wrong; the entire classroom had suddenly fallen silent.

The sounds around me—the mockery and the doubts—gradually disappeared.

Instead, there was confusion and shock.

"real or fake?"

"Is it really him?"

"I heard that the king held a banquet the day before yesterday, and the main character was an 8-year-old child. The chief mage Jiezhu abdicated in order to make way for him. His name seems to be Lu Cang."

"Huh? This is actually true?"

Lu Cang looked at the white-haired man who had just been laughing the loudest.

Some feelings of emotion inevitably arose in my heart.

Finally, I met the person who mocked me... Although I was just a child along the way, everyone took me seriously.

I have never experienced being looked down upon as a weak person.

I only got a brief taste of it when I introduced myself after arriving here.

but……

These people are incredibly well-informed!
How could you believe it so quickly? The news of me becoming the Chief Mage spread so fast? Is it common knowledge now?
I actually thought there would be even more people who would have doubts.

Sigh, the original plan was that no one believed in me, so I used this title to give everyone a hard time.

It seems that the environment no longer exists.

Lu Cang turned to look at the white-haired man and could tell that the white-haired man was actually scared now.

However, since you've been shouting the loudest, let's make an example of you.

Lu Cang met his gaze: "This white-haired student, you don't believe my identity, do you?"

The white-haired man was just shouting, but now he's in a difficult position.

But hearing the whispers around him made him feel a little guilty.

Staring into Lu Cang's calm and deep eyes, he felt uneasy being stared at by a child.

"That's right..."

Lu Cang didn't give him a chance to refuse and said directly, "Since you don't believe me..."

"Then attack me with your best magic. If you hurt me, I will transfer the position of chief mage to you, and this bag of 100,000 gold coins will also be yours."

Lu Cang tossed out a bag of gold coins, which the white-haired man weighed in his hand.

One hundred thousand?

The white-haired man swallowed hard, greed instantly rising in his heart.

Nothing is more tempting than 100,000 gold coins. Regardless of whether his title as chief mage is real or not, the 100,000 gold coins are definitely real.

"That's what you said!"
