Magic: My equipment slots have no restrictions

Hearing Laura's words, Victor's lips twitched slightly.

One bite and you'll never forget it? The senior's analogy is like saying that the magic stone should be used to appreciate fine food.

Despite his inner turmoil, Viktor also gained some inspiration from it.

"So, as long as this arcane stone recognizes my magic, that should be enough, right?"

Staring at the crimson stone on the table, Viktor's expression turned serious, and he slowly raised his hand.

"That's true, but..."

Laura glanced at her junior, but her expression suddenly froze.

Because Victor had already stretched out his right hand and pressed it onto the arcane stone.

Then, azure magic seeped from his palm, instantly enveloping the entire arcane stone.

"Why did you make a move? If you also fail, then we've lost any chance of cracking it."

Laura quickly came to her senses, reached out and grabbed Victor's arm, and was about to forcefully pull the boy's arm away.

But with her current physical condition, her strength was so weak that she couldn't even budge Viktor's arm.

A hint of urgency appeared on Laura's ashen face as she pulled even harder.

Victor ignored him, silently gazing at the arcane stone with an expressionless gaze.

He only slowly released his hand when he felt a faint warmth emanating from his palm, which then grew stronger and stronger.

"Giving up was the right thing to do; this method simply won't activate it..."

"laugh!"

Seeing this, Laura immediately breathed a sigh of relief and was about to explain, but she was startled by a burst of intense red light and stopped speaking halfway through her sentence.

She stiffly turned her head to look at the Mystic Stone, her eyes reflecting its current appearance.

The crimson stone floated up, and the golden runes on its body gradually faded away.

Immediately afterwards, a cracking sound came from the secret stone, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on its surface.

"Bang!"

When the cracks spread to a certain extent, the entire secret stone exploded and flew everywhere.

Laura instinctively raised her arm to block, only to see a ball of crimson flame surrounded by countless runes fly straight toward Victor's forehead.

However, the only light in the room was once again the candlelight on the table.

When Laura lowered her hand, she saw the room had returned to peace, with Victor standing quietly beside her, as if everything about the arcane stone had never happened.

"Exploded, the secret stone is gone?"

The senior student's lifeless pupils were now filled with disbelief. She murmured to herself and turned her gaze to Viktor, trying to find the answer on his face.

However, Viktor stood there like a statue, clearly lost in thought.

She had no choice but to bend down and begin searching for the remnants of the magic stone:

"I remember there was an explosion, right? Could there really be nothing inside? That can't be!"

These words echoed in Viktor's mind, but he had no time to pay attention to them at the moment, as his attention was entirely focused on the new items added to his inventory.

It was an arrow burning with crimson flames, surrounded by golden runes, and looked incredibly mysterious.

[Viridian's Scorching Arrow (Blue)]

[Note: This is the most powerful spell created by a reclusive archmage of the volcano clan during her lifetime. Legend has it that she used this spell to defeat a fire elemental lord.]

【Effect: When you equip this item, you gain the "Scorching Arrow" spell of the corresponding level, which is specifically designed to deal with fire elemental monsters.】

When equipped, you gain a 5% bonus to Fire Elemental Insight.

The item sealed by the secret stone was actually a piece of equipment?

Viktor was deeply shocked by this.

Even though the secret stone absorbed his magic power, what was unsealed within it was just a mark of inheritance.

Viktor remembers clearly that what he saw at the time was a ball of crimson flame enveloped in runes.

And after the flames flew into his forehead, he felt a distinct burning sensation there, which was probably a sign that the elemental mark had been born.

However, before the mark was formed, the equipment slot popped up on its own and absorbed the flame.

Then, right before Victor's eyes, the ball of flame transformed into a piece of equipment.

Does the equipment slot still have a conversion function?

Viktor muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the crimson arrow in his inventory, gradually discerning some logic:

"Only items recognized by the equipment slot can become equipment. In other words, this person named Veridian has created an extremely powerful spell."

As for why [Viridian's Scorching Arrow] has a mediocre blue rating, it's probably because of its usage conditions.

"Even if a level 4 mage possesses the skills of a legendary mage, it is impossible to reproduce that glory. At most, they can only touch a hair of the legend."

With this in mind, he reluctantly shifted his gaze from the extraordinary-looking arrow and opened his equipment inventory.

"It's just ashes left, is there any way to save it?"

Victor then heard Laura's mutterings.

By the candlelight, he looked around but couldn't find the other person.

It wasn't until a head peeked out from under the table in front of him that Victor realized what was happening:

"Senior, why did you crawl under the table?"

"..."

Laura stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly sighed, "This isn't your fault. If I had explained things clearly beforehand, this wouldn't have happened."

Although Viktor couldn't see much of the senior's expression, he could sense her disappointment, and the things that were bothering her also entered his mind.

Viktor exhaled, his slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxing.

He had previously felt that Laura spoke with the persistence of a scholar, and that she was always curious about the things around her.

It's very frustrating to have your research interrupted, like it is now.

"In fact, I have already obtained the secret technique."

After thinking for a moment, Victor didn't hide anything: "Perhaps my magic is delicious enough to gain its approval."

He wasn't going to explain the fact that he possessed such a powerful bonus as [Magic Affinity].

Because he had already sensed the surprise from the other end of the mental connection.

"We...did it?!"

Laura's ashen face had her eyebrows slightly raised, and her small mouth slowly opened into an "o" shape, as if she was about to give some kind of speech.

But at that moment, she remembered her current situation, forced herself to shut her mouth, and then rushed to Viktor's side.

She suddenly grabbed the boy's hand and shook it violently. It seemed that only in this way could she calm her inner excitement.

"..."

Seeing this, Viktor's eyes dimmed slightly, and a sense of guilt arose in his heart.

However, he quickly put these thoughts out of his mind, and then, under Laura's questioning gaze,

Without warning, he bent down and grabbed the senior girl's waist with both hands.

The next second, Laura felt her vision rise from the ground, and she was lifted up steadily.

But she didn't show the slightest panic. Staring at Viktor's smiling, handsome face, her eyes seemed to light up, and a smile naturally spread across her lips.
