Fulilian: Becomes a disciple of Celia at the beginning

So that's how it is. The teacher was afraid that I would ask for [Counter-Curse Magic] because I mistakenly believed that this would make the teacher defenseless against [Stealing Magic] and make him surrender obediently.

That's why Celie gave her a few special reminders before teaching her, asking her not to think too much and to choose the magic she really wanted.

But this time, I'm not the one who thinks too much.

Gut smiled, squatted on one knee in front of teacher Celia, and said.

"Teacher, what I want is this [Counter-Magic], not to deal with you, but to deal with the demons."

"Is that so? It seems I was overthinking it."

After saying that, Celie stood up, with magic power surging in her body. She planned to use the method of [transferring magic] to let her disciple Gut learn this magic instantly at the cost of losing [counter-curse magic].

However, before the spell was cast, the disciple in front of him held his hand and stopped him.

"Ok?"

Celie looked at Gut in confusion, "Why are you stopping me from casting a spell?"

"Teacher, I want to learn [Counter Magic], but I don't want to learn it by making you lose this magic."

"What I want is to learn it on my own!"

just

Faced with Gut's impassioned speech, Celie's eyes showed no emotion, but rather disappointment.

The elf snorted coldly, "Boring."

"You're not unaware of the length of time it takes to learn [Countermagic]. As a product of human wisdom from the mythical age, given the short lifespan of humans, even if you spend your entire life learning it, you only have a chance of mastering it."

"Even with your talent, I'm afraid by the time you learn it, you'll have already reached the point of exhaustion. In that case, what's the point of learning?"

"Yes, teacher."

Gut met Celie's gaze and replied.

"Since learning this [Counter-Magic] requires a lifetime, then let me spend my lifetime guarding you."

"Besides, you may not believe it when I tell you."

"I'm actually quite resilient. I'm afraid I can live much longer than the average human."

"Ah."

Celie looked at Gut for a long time, then snorted.

"never mind."

"I thought that humans, with their short lives, would spend their time on more valuable things."

"Since you insist on wasting your precious talent, then so be it."

"But, Gutt"

Celie paused and said.

"You are more ambitious than any disciple I have ever received."

"Probably, I will remember you as my disciple."

After saying that, Celie stretched out her hand and threw a book that was more than ten centimeters thick towards Gut.

Even with Gut's well-trained body, he felt a tingling sensation in his hands when he took it.

"This is?"

"This is the initial part of the introduction to [Countermagic]. Since you want to learn [Countermagic] on your own, according to the timeline, learners should master it thoroughly within ten years."

"But I'm different. As my disciple, I only give you five years."

"Three years!"

Gutt said loudly, holding up three fingers in a gesture, "It will only take me three years."

"Oh?"

Even Celia couldn't help but cheer up, infected by the confidence in Gut's words.

"Yes, that's interesting."

"Then the limit is three years. During this period, if you have any problems with your studies, you can come to me at any time."

"But if you fail to succeed in your practice after three years."

"Teacher, you can punish me however you want. Teacher Celia, you can change me into whatever shape you want!"

Listening to her disciple Gut's statement, Celie's mouth twitched. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put it into words.

After dealing with the [Reward] promised to the disciples, Celie yawned, pulled a ring from her pocket, and tossed it to Gut.

"Teacher, what is this?"

Looking up and down at the ring, Gut asked Celie in confusion.

"This is the terminal that controls the [Boundary Magic] surrounding the examination room. Go there and set up the elimination barrier for me, and maintain discipline in the examination room."

"What about you, teacher?"

After quietly unlocking the [Sealing Magic] on her door, Celie looked back at her disciple Gut and answered seriously.

"The teacher went back to the room and had something important to do."

"Don't ask, it's all part of the plan."

Gut:.

"I understand, teacher."

【Oissast City District·Assessment Site】

As the [Boundary Magic] slowly rose in the sky, countless magician candidates lined up outside the hall cheered.

The second day of the magician assessment finally began.

Chapter 16 Main Mission

Inside the barrier.

Lyon, wearing a clean and tidy white robe, stood in front of the door of the hall, silently watching the candidates gathered outside the barrier.

However, when Lyleen glanced sideways, he found that his senior brother beside him was absent-minded and looked distracted, so he asked curiously.

"Brother? What are you thinking about?"

"what?"

When Gut was called, he was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Yeah, I was thinking about something."

Gut raised the unusually thick magic book in his hand to Lyon, "After all, I have already boasted to the teacher that I will master all this knowledge within three years."

"I spoke passionately at the time, but now that I think about it, I feel a little uncertain."

"After all, it is an extremely difficult task." Lyon affirmed.

Because he once served as the [Court Magician], Lyon had personally participated in the deciphering and learning of [Magic of the Mythical Age], and he was well aware of the difficulty involved.

Considering the thickness of this magic book, even by the standards of a contemporary genius magician, it would probably take two to three years to fully comprehend it, assuming there are no language or comprehension barriers and one is familiar with all the magic theories mentioned in the book.

But the magic book in the hands of the senior brother is not a magic book written in this era, but one written in the mythological era.

No one can verify how many times the language, vocabulary and symbols that express meaning have changed during this long period of time.

Take the magic notebook of Evisi, a sage from the mythical era, unearthed from a cemetery decades ago as an example. The information recorded on it has long been incomprehensible to everyone, and the language is even older than the ancient elven language.

The contents were almost entirely coded using various pictures. Because people of that era liked to record magic in various codes, the difficulty of deciphering and learning them was extremely great.

As far as Lyon knew, after decades of fruitless attempts, the relevant personnel of the Empire had sent a manuscript to the [Holy City of Xutraru] in the southern countries, hoping to get the help of Bishop Mr. Haita to work together to decipher it.

So far, what has been described is only the difficulty of [understanding the magic book]. Learning the [magic theory] of the mythological era is by no means an easy task.

Because before the great magician Volame set the tone for human magic during the [Unified Empire Period], the [magic theory] mastered by humans was actually very chaotic and disorganized.

Although the core principles are the same, they are mixed with subjectivity and theory, making them extremely difficult to learn.

"Brother, if you are feeling distressed, you might as well go and explain to the teacher and admit your mistake."

"Given your talent, and with Teacher Celia's guidance, five years or so is a reasonable time."

"No."

Gut shook his head. "It's too late. I now have a reason to finish it on time."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Lyon, do you think the teacher can choose a suitable disciple today?"

An hour ago.

After Gut made a promise to Celiai and accepted the teacher's commission to assist in the assessment, the system sounded two prompts.

【Ding! 】

[Main quest is open (Completing the main quest will give you the chance to extract, deprive, gift, copy, and upgrade items and talents)]

[Main Mission: Three-Year Period]

[Task Requirements: Complete the initial learning of the [Anti-Curse Magic] Introduction within the agreed time limit]

[Task Reward: System Exploration Module, Talent Extraction Opportunity x1, Talent Copy Opportunity x1]

Main Mission: Maintenance Assessment (Part 1)

[Quest Requirements: Assist Teacher Celiai in completing the first magician assessment held by the [Continental Magic Association] (Note: This main quest has two stages, namely the [Oissast Branch Assessment] and the [Holy City Xutralu Headquarters Assessment])]

[Quest Reward: 1 random item from another world, 2 talent extraction opportunities]

If it was just an ordinary system reward, Gut would have just let it go.

If you can't do it, then it's okay to apologize to Teacher Celiai and admit your mistake as my junior brother Lyon said.

However, this promise activated the system's main mission, and the mission reward of [Three-Year Period] is also a functional module of the system.

Although it is unclear what information the [System Exploration Module] can detect, Gut will not miss this opportunity to make the golden finger more powerful.
