Chapter 55 All-Elemental Mage
"Her name is Manlin, a high-level mage specializing in enchanting magic."

Marvin casually introduced it.

"Try to curry favor with her; she might just be the next president of the Blackrock Town Mage Guild."

“Master Marvin, that’s too kind of you.”

Manlin covered her mouth and chuckled, "Your chances are clearly greater than mine."

Marvin didn't respond, but instead pointed to Zelil's leg.

“He got injured while doing a mission. Let’s help him get treatment. It’s painful to see him limping.”

After saying that, Marvin nodded to the two of them and turned to leave the room.

"Please sit over there," Manlin gestured.

Zellier, leaning on his cane, walked to the sofa on one side of the room and sat down.

Then, following Manlin's instructions, he placed his injured leg on a low stool, rolled up his trouser leg, and revealed the wound wrapped in layers of gauze.

Manlin gently removed the gauze, and her eyes narrowed slightly when she saw Zelier's mangled and raw wound.

"Marvin said you were injured while on a mission."

Manlin's fingers gently brushed over the wound, and a warm energy flowed through it, easing the pain considerably. "Are you an adventurer?"

"Yes."

“What a brave little guy! I didn’t have your guts back then,” Manlin smiled.

Zell suddenly remembered that Marvin hadn't mentioned Manlin's surname when he introduced her.

Could it be that Manlin, like herself, came from a commoner background?

"Relax, the treatment is about to begin."

Zellier immediately took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Manlin raised her hands and hovered them above Zelier's wound.

She didn't use a staff; she simply closed her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a soft silhouette in the sunlight.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.

Zellir could faintly sense a powerful yet restrained force spreading outwards, with specks of emerald green fluorescence appearing around him.

As if summoned by some force, the green light gradually swirled and flowed between Manlin's fair palms, eventually converging into a ball of light.

Inside the sphere of light, an incredibly complex and dazzling array of magical structures is being rapidly constructed.

The delicate magical threads intertwined and entwined, eventually forming a mysterious magic circle.

Its appearance is like a blooming flower bud.

Zellier took a deep breath and stared intently at the scene.

"Go," Manlin murmured softly.

She slowly pressed down with both hands, and the green light merged into Zelier's wound.

An indescribable feeling of comfort instantly spread throughout my body.

Under the green light, the damaged muscle tissue at the wound site is regenerating at a rapid pace.

The ruptured blood vessels were gently repaired, and even the skin tissue, catalyzed by this miraculous power, rapidly healed towards the center.

The whole process lasted about a minute.

As Manlin withdrew her hands, the light gradually faded.

The gruesome wound had completely disappeared, replaced by a patch of new, smooth skin, without even a scar.

Zellier tried to move his lower legs off the stool and stretch them a little.

He didn't feel any pain at all, as if the previous wound had never existed.

"This...this is it?" Zellier asked incredulously.

"Of course."

Manlin smiled gently, "Your injury wasn't too serious, so it was easy to treat. Just remember to be more careful next time."

"What amazing magic..." Zellir exclaimed.

"Want to learn?" Manlin blinked.

Although the words "Healing spell, analysis progress - 1%" had already appeared below the spell formula, Zellier still nodded obediently.

“I want to learn.” Manlin returned to her desk, picked up the cup of herbal tea again, and slowly swirled it, her posture quite like that of a female professor.

What magic have you learned so far?

"Hmm... Fireball, Wind Blade, Water Ball, and Flame Breath." Zelier casually mentioned a few elemental spells.

"Oh? You've even learned the third-level magic Flame Breath? How fast is your casting speed?" Manlin asked, somewhat surprised.

"About seven seconds," Zellier answered honestly.

"No wonder Marvin values ​​you so much."

"How does it feel to learn these spells? Do you feel any blockage?" Manlin asked.

“It feels pretty good,” Zellier said.

"Yeah."

Manlin chuckled softly, but there was a hint of regret in her smile. "Then you'll probably have a hard time learning empowerment magic."

Zellier was taken aback, his expression somewhat puzzled.

"what?"

I'm making good progress in learning magic, shouldn't I be able to master new magic even better? Why do you say it's difficult to learn?
“The structure of spells that each mage’s brain can adapt to is different; this is almost determined innately.”

Seeing Zell's puzzled expression, Manlin explained.

"Since you have a higher affinity for elemental magic, your affinity for other types of magic will definitely be lower, that's for sure."

"Even if I put a scroll of empowerment magic in front of you, you still won't be able to learn it. That's because your brain is naturally resistant to the structure of empowerment spells; your mental energy will be rejected as soon as it seeps in."

It gets rejected as soon as it penetrates...?
Zellier thought about what Manlin said carefully and offered his own guess.

"So, Instructor Manlin, does that mean an elemental mage isn't incapable of learning enchanting magic, but rather completely unaware of the spell structure of enchanting magic?"

"Yes, the only way for a mage to learn magic is through magic scrolls. They must use their mental power to transfer the spell structure inscribed on them into their mind."

Manlin spoke up.

"But as I just said, if an elemental mage tries to learn enchanting magic, the moment their mental energy touches the contents of the scroll, their brain will instinctively resist it. They can't even see the structure of the spell, so how can they learn magic?"

After listening to Manlin's words, a bold guess suddenly sprouted in Zelier's mind.

When a mage encounters a magical style they are not good at, their brain automatically rejects it, making it impossible for them to learn it.

However, after analyzing the magic, the spell formula will directly reproduce the complete structure of the spell formula in the mind, skipping the scroll step.

Just like the healing spell, it's currently being analyzed.

Doesn't that mean I can ignore this mechanism and use magic from any school?
All-elemental mages!

Suppressing his excitement, Zellier continued.

“But Mentor Manlin, besides elemental magic, I have also studied arcane magic, and I haven’t noticed any blockage.”

"That proves that you have good talent. Many mages can only master one school of magic, but some can master two schools. For example, like you, you can learn both elemental and arcane magic."

"Manlin said."

"But ultimately, it's because the differences between these two schools of magic aren't that significant."

"Whether it's elemental or arcane magic, both involve using magic to influence the outside world, so they are interconnected to some extent."

"But the Enchanting system is different. The Enchanting system is inherently incompatible with the Elemental and Arcane systems. The core of Enchanting magic lies in permeating and acting on the internal circulation of a living organism with magical power."

"It can quickly heal injuries and also provide teammates with boosts in strength, speed, stamina, and even magic."

"Its essence is guidance, not domination."

"This characteristic, which is so different from other magic, determines that elemental and arcane mages find it extremely difficult to learn enchanting magic; only a very few people can do it."

"And even if you learn it, you can only master low-level enchantment magic, which is quite difficult to cast."

"Similarly, empowerment mages cannot learn advanced magic from other schools, and even some low-level magic is very difficult for them."

Manlin waved her hand gently, and green light danced at her fingertips.

"For example, I can only cast the level two magic Fireball at most right now. As for the level three magic Flame Breath, I can't cast it at all."

"Because every time I try to explore the Flame Breath spell scroll, my brain automatically rejects it, and I can't see the spell's structure inside."

“Take Marvin for example. He’s a high-level arcane mage who can cast level seven arcane spells, capable of changing the weather… Sounds impressive, right? But he can’t learn the healing spell I just used.”
