Having a powerful lord as a father figure, what's wrong with just wanting to draw cards?

"Yes, you're right. So what would you like to eat tonight? I'll cook for our champion myself."

"Really? Then I won't be polite!"

On the way home, Domi recited the names of the dishes without repeating any, until the two disappeared into the crowd...

After the duel, the battle between Domi and Alger was published in the school newspaper by the students of the news agency.

The newspaper described their battle in incredible detail, including the audience's reactions, and added a mysterious filter to the final outcome, making everyone who watched feel their blood boil and deeply impressed by Domi's strength. It turns out, even a first-year student can be this strong...

This newspaper is intended for all staff members on campus, including but not limited to faculty and staff who are not students.

Many of Alger's original female fans switched sides after this and joined the Domi Cult, becoming Domi's devoted supporters.

Anyone could buy it, and naturally, someone from Class B of the first year also paid for a copy.

If Domi and the others were there, they would recognize at a glance that this person was the fourteen-year-old B-class leader who had stopped them on their way to the cafeteria, the guy who looked like a thug.

Such people have a bunch of lackeys following them wherever they go.

"Brother Bennett, is there anything interesting in today's paper?"

"Tsk... It's that same old mess from yesterday. That Schnell guy actually sent us to deal with people like that. Damn it... No way, we have to make him pay more!"

The underlings knew very well that only the duel between Domi and Alger could make Bennett so agitated. After all, they had thoroughly mocked Domi and others and even issued a challenge.

"Dominic's magic is very powerful. If we want to deal with Class A, we must start from this point!"

Bennett looked annoyed.

At this point, one of the younger brothers suggested:

"In the physical combat on the rear battlefield, there is a 'supply' item that can prevent the opponent from using magic. We might as well focus on this. As long as we deal with Dominic, the others are not a threat!"

Bennett's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily, patting him on the back: "Great! Great idea! It's decided. Now, let those who are going to the rear battlefield start training immediately. The intensity must be at its maximum every day. Make sure they don't lose to Class A in this aspect!"

The heat of the feud quickly died down, and everyone, including the protagonist, returned to their daily lives.

Having spent over fifty days working tirelessly in the Land of Time Stop, Domi no longer needs to research new magic, or rather, the sight of a densely packed sequence of magic spells now makes him want to vomit...

If I stop staying up late, I'll naturally be able to get up the next day, and getting up in the morning means Natsu won't be late.

That morning, the two of them, along with Argyle Edward, got up early, ate a healthy breakfast in their dormitory without a care in the world, and then leisurely walked to the public carriage stop to wait for the carriage to come.

The college's public carriages were experimental, yet they were already among the most advanced in the world.

It only requires two horses to pull it, and its internal mechanical and magical systems work together to provide power, thus providing greater power. With this power, the upper structure of the carriage can be expanded.

It's still just one layer, not quite two layers yet, but it has a larger area and adopts a semi-open design on the side. The roof is triangular like a roof, making it look like a small mobile house.

It was equipped with many seats, and there were handles hanging from the roof. The carriage could carry about thirty people, including those sitting and standing, which was five times more than the six people in a normal horse-drawn carriage. This was a groundbreaking advancement.

The college set up numerous public carriages during the peak hours of morning and afternoon classes, ensuring that all four could still find chairs to sit on.

In fact, everyone except Natsu could fly there using magic, but who wouldn't want to enjoy sightseeing without putting in the effort?

You don't need to exert any effort to fly there, right?

"That's the feeling, it gives me the sense of commuting on public transportation."

What is commuting?

Nats and Domi sat together and asked.

"Like taking attendance in class, it is an extreme, mandatory, and inhumane way of being punctual."

"I don't really understand, but it looks like it's in a lot of pain... By the way, this afternoon, Domi, you'll start teaching me magic, right?"

Domi suddenly remembered that he had been having a good time at Shea's dorm that day and had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and had almost forgotten his promise to Natsu.

"Uh...yes! As we said before, let's test which magic type you have talent for first. But Natsu, you should be prepared, because the test results may not be satisfactory."

Edward, who was sitting across the aisle, interjected, "I think Domi is the most qualified to talk about this."

"What do you mean?" Nats felt they were speaking in riddles he couldn't understand, riddles that only they knew.

Domi thought about it and felt that his own experience could indeed serve as an example, so he explained:

"It was when I was a child and my first magical talent test showed that I was only at the beginner level in the Shadow element."

"Could it be that it isn't anymore?"

"Hmm... now it's a perfect-level talent."

"..."

"To summarize, the initial test may not be accurate, and there is also the possibility that the person has the potential to improve. If the initial results are not satisfactory, it is normal to feel frustrated, but there is no need to blame others or complain. If you stay optimistic, there may be a turning point in the future."

Nats understood what he meant and comforted Domi in return, saying, "It doesn't matter if I'm not very talented, as long as I can use magic, I'll be satisfied."

"Keep this mindset."

The morning classes ended before they knew it, with Stewart's toxicology course coming to a close, and after lunch, their major courses began soon afterward.

Because it was planned in advance, Domi and Nats symbolically punched a few times when their teacher, Atwood, came to check on them, and then began their plan for the day after he left.

Domi took the bag he had brought to the playground from the side and took out a testing ball from it. It was the same kind he used when he was a child, but now it had been replaced with the standard twelve-year-old version.

"Place your hand on it, and you will feel a pulling force. Don't resist it; just let the restless energy in your body flow out."

"Ok!"

Nats nodded solemnly, then carefully placed his hand on it.

The instant his palm touched the surface of the magic ball, he did indeed feel the pulling force that Domi had described.

He closed his eyes, carefully sensing the restlessness, and then, as if opening a valve on his own, let these forces flow out of his body from top to bottom.

Looking at the magical colors appearing inside the transparent magic sphere, Domi whispered with delight:

"It's a fire-type talent!"

Natsu kept his eyes closed, but he was already feeling a little excited. At least he had magical talent, didn't he? Many people couldn't even do this.

As time slowly passed, Natsu gradually felt his magic power being depleted.

At this moment, Domi reminded him in time: "If you feel like you're about to be drained, stop. If you keep going, it will damage your magic circuits."

In the realm of magic, Natsu almost always obeyed Domi's every word. As soon as he finished speaking, he withdrew his hand and opened his eyes.

In Domi's hand, the originally transparent magic ball was now filled with a magnificent red magic power, flowing like volcanic lava about to erupt.

"What was the result?" Nats asked somewhat nervously.

But when he saw that Domi's expression wasn't good, he felt a sense of calm.

“My talent isn’t that great…right? That’s okay. I can accept even the worst talent. I’m already prepared.”

Domi preserved the magic orb, using the cost of consuming one magic orb to semi-permanently preserve its magic power:

"The bad news is that you only have basic fire magic talent. The good news is that I sensed some different elements in your magic, which seem quite special."

"Don't you even know?"

"I need to do some research. Before I figure things out, I'll teach you some basic fire magic first..."

186. Chapter 183-182 Dragon Slayer Mage

After class, everyone went to the playground to find Domi and Natsu as usual to go to the cafeteria together. Shia also came.

After so many days, not only Domi, but even Shia herself had gotten used to Domi coming over for meals every day. In order to save some time, she decided to go to the market to buy groceries on her way home from school.

So the two groups parted ways at the crossroads ahead.

The two walked side by side on the road, very close, but neither of them felt restrained; on the contrary, they were quite relaxed.

At this moment, Domi suddenly asked:

"Shea, do you know how to find out the properties of a kind of magic? I only know about the magic type, and nothing else."

"What? Who are you going to investigate now?"

As soon as Domi opened his mouth, Xia felt that he was about to cause trouble again; it had almost become an unconscious reaction.

"So this is how you see me? I'm so hurt!"

"Okay, okay, just kidding, go ahead and tell me, I'm listening."

"It's about Natsu. Didn't he say he wanted to learn magic? Today I used a magic orb to test his magic talent. It's fire magic, but judging from the amount, it's only at the beginner level. However, I can clearly sense that this magic power is extraordinary. It's definitely not ordinary fire magic."

Shia stroked her chin, a thoughtful look flickering in her bright eyes:

"If you put it that way, I don't know where to begin my research. However, magic has been around for so long that even the most special magical powers are recorded, and there is a complete set of attribute testing procedures. With these measures, it is not difficult to find out the attributes of magical power."

"That's great! When can we start?"

"The relevant documents are probably only in the Great Library, but the attribute test can be done directly in the dormitory. You should have saved Natsu's magic power, right?"

Domi patted his bag: "Of course, I sealed it in the magic ball semi-permanently, and it's still warm."

After buying groceries and returning to the dormitory, Domi cooked the meal because Xia was going to take an attribute test.

The attribute testing tool has undergone many generations of updates and iterations, and it is now very convenient to use, requiring only a few small objects to operate.

For example, to test whether fire magic is countered by water magic, you can draw a portion of it from the magic ball and let it react with the tentacles of a deep-sea jellyfish. If the fire magic disappears, it proves that it is not waterproof.

However, this is not entirely accurate, because the water magic in the tentacles of deep-sea jellyfish is extremely concentrated; other, more common water magic might not be sufficient.

Therefore, in this part of the experiment, there was also an artificial water sphere containing ordinary water magic. When Natsu's fire magic was stuffed into it, it was found that it was not extinguished, indicating that it was countered by high-level water magic, but not by low-level water magic...

Similarly, the same method can be used to experiment with the restraint and counter-restraint relationships of other legal systems.

Domi tiptoed over the shop window to look at the dining table that had been temporarily turned into a testing platform. It felt a bit like a chemistry experiment from her previous life, and the method of controlling variables was even used.

Although the entire comparative experiment was simple, it only referred to the operation and did not guarantee the time. It took Shia three hours to test all the attributes, and she finished eating in the middle.

"Nats' fire element is probably that kind of special magic."

Domi seems to vaguely recognize this technical term:

"Is it like when Edward ate the Rime-Fire Fruit, which changed his fire magic attribute?"

Shia nodded: "The same principle applies to the phantom crystal that Aiwei gave you. These rare treasures of heaven and earth can fundamentally change attributes, while Natsu's is more like something he was born with, which narrows down the search range even further."

"are you free tomorrow?"
