Fanatics of the Magic Academy

Rose entered a state of [materialism].

As faith transformed into reason, the alienating effect of that faith on the body dissipated, and the gilded vertical pupils turned into blue round pupils.

My thoughts returned to calm.

Actually, Rose is the most cunning guy. Even though he has schizophrenia, he insists that it's a natural trait.

He felt a dual fatigue, both mental and physical.

While the Ancient Dragon's Faith Prayer is incredibly powerful and can be used with zero frames per second, it requires even more concentration than a magician.

Fortunately, there is the [Ancient Dragon Meditation], a fundamental prayer that can increase the upper limit of concentration and quickly restore concentration.

Otherwise, the followers of Gu Long would be absolutely furious.

Moreover, Rose seems to have discovered that the power associated with faith is different from that of reason, and is often inseparable from the body.

For example, faith provides control and dominion over the body, and then releases spiritual power through prayer based on the body.

Of course, it's also possible that Rose's divine prayers were not enough to appease the gods.

Reason, on the other hand, is different. Its power stems from the fact that once reason reaches a certain level, it will exert an influence on reality.

The magic system developed by utilizing this kind of interference.

Furthermore, the attribute of rationality is dynamic and does not solely depend on the degree to which you develop your brain.

It also depends on your own mindset.

These two aspects are like the two planks that make up a barrel of reason; ultimately, reason depends on the shortest plank.

Therefore, Rose felt that the magic system of this world was more barren, more like the cultivation system in fantasy novels from her previous life—

"Cultivating both body and mind."

It requires not only self-development, but also the cultivation of one's mindset.

God's.

However, the combination of this world's social structure, the characteristics of its magic system, and its high degree of industrialization, all contribute to this...

This makes magicians completely different from those depicted in traditional Eastern fantasy, who can be carefree and unrestrained with high cultivation levels, and then use those high cultivation levels to strengthen their minds.

Quite the opposite.

As Kenneth said, even high-ring mages are bound by society.

Ultimately, a peculiar killing line was formed.

When social status declines, one's mindset is disturbed, and rationality declines accordingly;

A decline in rationality leads to a decline in strength and a further drop in social status.

Once a vicious cycle forms, if it is not remedied in time, even a high-level mage will be cut down and end up wandering the streets.

A highly integrated industrialized society leaves no room for people to slowly cultivate their character and temperament.

Of course, Rose guessed that this was not unsolvable.

If the parents are high-level magicians, they have enough power to protect them.

Even if you make mistakes and your social status fluctuates, it won't shake your mindset.

If reason prevails, it's only a matter of time before society returns to its proper division of labor.

Then you can become the safety net for the next generation.

In this way, class stratification would likely become quite severe.

While ordinary people may have the option of changing their circumstances through education, the margin for error is almost zero.

Of course, if you're someone who can't handle pressure, that's a different story.

666, the concept god, the version's chosen one, has arrived, a magician who doesn't suffer from pressure.

I was so scared I cried.

Of course, these are ultimately just Rose's speculations.

He still needs to explore the true nature and operating principles of this world himself.

As for belief systems, Rossai felt that there seemed to be two similar dimensions, but he didn't know the specifics.

Although he is essentially a believer, he doesn't know much about faith.

He has basically never come into contact with anyone who is deeply knowledgeable about a belief system, except for himself.

Despite her exhaustion, Rose was busy with the cleanup work.

He first concealed the traces created by the confrontation between the two.

Of course, Rose rationally judged that it was best not to touch those homeless people whom the other party had killed to keep their identities secret.

He just sighed deeply, feeling somewhat powerless.

The death toll was too large; Rose couldn't handle it, nor was she able to.

He pulled out some high-calorie food he had prepared in advance from his pocket and ate a little bit.

Then, he closed his eyes and quickly began [Ancient Dragon Meditation], regaining some focus.

He activated [Wind Network Perception] to search for the mage's corpse.

He quickly found the magician's body.

The body was reduced to half. The cut was charred black, and through the burnt edges, one could vaguely see the pinkish organs inside.

This piece is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Rose didn't approach the body at all, nor did she dare to. She simply watched it from a distance.

Rose was almost scared to tears by the magician's methods.

With a snap of his fingers, a whole group of people died.

That bizarre method really scared Rose for a second.

What if this Yin has some kind of Deathrattle ability?

Then Rose cautiously stood still and began casting spells from a distance.

He stretched out both hands, palms facing outwards, and began chanting simultaneously in his mind the first-circle storm magic [Air Compression] and the first-circle fire magic [Fireball].

With his current second-circle mage level of rationality, controlling both of them at the same time is a piece of cake.

Rose discovered that a magic spell, limited by its own model, does indeed have a "correction limit".

For example, [Air Compression] is a first-circle spell, and its model limit is 40 sanity modifier; its power will not increase further.

However, the fact that the power will not increase does not mean that other aspects will not be improved.

For example, under the influence of high rationality, one's mastery of magic is greatly enhanced, and one can freely adjust the output power of magic.

For example, it is now possible to easily implement multiple spellcasting as it is now.

For example, the combined effect of high rationality and proficiency can greatly reduce the chanting time.

Reason, isn't that amazing?

As Rose began chanting and fine-tuning, a compressed, blazing fireball slowly appeared in his palm.

By combining two first-circle spells in this way, the power can be greatly enhanced, and it can even be said that it barely resembles a second-circle spell.

Of course, the downside is that the chanting is relatively slow and the ability to resist interference during the chanting process is also relatively slow.

As Rose finished chanting the last release rune for both of them, the compressed, high-temperature fireball broke free from Rose's hand and flew towards the corpse on the ground.

"boom!"

The fireball exploded on the corpse with a deafening roar, and a huge wave of heat rushed out, completely engulfing the body in the explosion.

"call..."

Rose let out a long sigh as she looked at the corpses on the ground, which had been blown to bits.

Just as Rose was relaxing, she suddenly tasted a metallic rust in her mouth.

At the same time, he felt something foreign in his mouth, and Rose, horrified, spat it out with blood in his mouth.

Not a buddy? You're really stingy with your death wish, huh?

How could someone so far away from the damn place get infected?!

Rose made a decision in an instant: the only option now was to dispel the "materialist" state.

I'm trying to use [Ancient Dragon Meditation] to expel the damage my body has suffered, especially since I was with Hope before...

Rose suddenly froze, because he could see clearly what the foreign object he had vomited on the ground was.

It's a tiger tooth.

Rose licked her teeth with her tongue and found that she had indeed lost a tooth, and she could also feel a small tooth on her gum.

It turns out that the thin-skinned Rose has reached the age where she needs to lose her baby teeth.

Come to think of it, he's already six years old.

Rose smiled with relief.

I laughed at myself for being so angry.
