Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

"[Affirmation] She has great talent and is a fast learner."

"Yes, during this period, teacher, you have been teaching her different magic almost every day."

"[Speculation] She learns very quickly, and it doesn't take her long to master a spell."

"[Conclusion] So I chose to teach more magic."

Tuxon poked the meat on the plate with a fork, looking at Xiuer's face from time to time.

"But in this way, most of your time is spent there, teacher."

"Won't that interfere with your other work?"

"[Negative] Even while teaching, my monitoring of the city's conditions was not hindered. The possibility of error is 0%."

"I feel like I've gotten stronger recently."

"..."

Xiuer's eyes turned from the window to Tuxon, which made the latter feel a little better.

"[Question] Do I need to grant permission to challenge the "Virtual Battlefield"? "

According to Shuul, Takson has not yet successfully challenged the highest difficulty level of the [Virtual Battle Field].

[Battlefield] is divided into easy, normal, hard, super hard and hell difficulty.

The monster data in the field are 25%, 50%, 100%, 200% and 500% compared to the original version.

And Taxon has never successfully challenged the final BOSS of hell difficulty.

I have to explain here that the Hell difficulty is actually a new difficulty added by Shuul after Takson became stronger and successfully challenged the super difficult difficulty.

"Ah, there's no rush for this now."

Upon hearing this, Takson's face instantly turned into an uncomfortable expression as if he was constipated, and he quickly denied it.

"Yeah."

Xiuer looked out the window again and returned to his previous appearance.

When he turned around, he suddenly found that Tuxon's expression showed obvious loss.

'What's wrong with this kid?'

With doubts in his heart, Xiuer chose to speak directly.

"[Suddenly] You're suddenly feeling down, what happened?"

"Oh, no, teacher, you don't have to worry about it."

Frightened by Xuer's question, the fork in his hand tilted and stuck directly on the table beside him. A look of panic appeared on Tuckson's face.

Ok?

After seeing this, Xuer began to analyze what Takson had just said.

Could it be that you got injured while exercising?

No, under my monitoring, if he was injured, I would definitely know about it, and this child is not someone who would be depressed because of such things.

What else could it be?

The moment he analyzed the first words, he came up with the answer in his mind.

"[Question] Are you, jealous of Volame?"

Seeing the more panicked expression on the other person's face, Xiuer finally confirmed the answer.

So that's why, are you jealous of Volame's talent?

After this analysis, Xiuer understood everything instantly.

That's true. After all, this child has been quite interested in magic over the years.

Unfortunately, he chose to become a warrior and strayed from the path of a [Magician] from the very beginning.

As for Takson, his face was covered in cold sweat after Xuer said that.

At this moment, his mind was fuzzy.

But when I think about the teacher understanding his situation, I think he will do something next?

After all, in Takson's heart, over the years, his teacher Shuul would never really abandon him as his apprentice.

"[Reminder] Individual differences lead to different strengths. Tucson, there's no need to be envious."

"[Conclusion] Your combined physical strength as a warrior and a monk gives you a 98% chance of defeating a single Volame within a hundred meters. This probability remains unchanged regardless of her growth."

Xiuer doesn't know how to comfort people, but he knows what to say.

In a situation like this, all you have to do is directly explain the other party's advantages and the differences between them and Volame. After all, it is in this field that you feel the gap between you and the other party, and Xuer can understand this mentality.

But strangely, after hearing his words of comfort, the expression on Tucson's face froze for a moment?!

what? !

What's going on?

Is it possible that my analysis is wrong?

At this time, Xiuer began to doubt himself for the first time.

......

Chapter 25: The Coming Attack

Looking at Takson, whose expression became even uglier, Xuer was confused for a moment.

What's going on?

Is my analysis wrong?

No, that's impossible. I must have missed something.

what.

"[Question] Are you lonely?"

Hit the nail on the head.

Xiuer's question this time caused the disciple opposite him to blush.

"Hmm... well, ah..."

Tuckson touched the back of his head, a gesture he always made when he was nervous, embarrassed, or shy, and these habits were recorded by Shule.

"[Confused] When you were exercising in the past, I didn't keep up with you, did I?"

"[Additional] Even after I taught with Volame during this period, the amount of contact I had with you was the same as before."

Originally, Xiuer thought that Takson was a trustworthy child, so whenever he went out to exercise or do something, he would not follow him.

And there is a [locator] placed on his body that can monitor the apprentice's coordinates and physical condition in real time.

Generally speaking, Xiuer would at most send one clone to accompany during the test.

So although it seems that the contact with Takson is frequent, it is actually not that much.

And all of this started with Xiuer's "trust" in him.

However, now it seems that this child is not as reassuring as I imagined.

"But, I don't mean...that."

In fact, although Tucson looks like a fifteen-year-old boy who is about to mature, his heart is actually as fragile as a child who has not grown up.

The strength I had shown in the past was all forced upon me due to various reasons.

Especially after spending a few years with Xiuer, this heart has been liberated again, removing the outward disguise, and regards Xiuer as a spiritual pillar and someone he can rely on.

This also makes him behave more like a child in front of Xuer.

In the classic words of a famous person, that is:

"Teacher Xiuer, you are the one who can become my mother!"

But now, because of Volame's joining, Takson suddenly became worried.

That was because he was worried that Xiuer would abandon him and pay more attention to Volame.

This idea was actually irrational. First of all, he himself understood that the teacher would never abandon him now. This was an agreement made by the teacher himself a few years ago.

But this did not prevent him from feeling a sense of crisis.

For this reason, he worked harder during his training and exercise, but never received more attention.

And now, he was taking advantage of the dinner time, when Volame was not around, and he was obsessed with wanting to secretly hint to Xuer.

"Teacher, please pay more attention to me. I am your first disciple."

That's probably what it means.

In front of Xiuer, Takson always becomes an insecure child. Xiuer has noticed this, but he used to think that everything would be fine when the child grows up.

Unfortunately, he was wrong. Because he ignored the child's feelings, Tuckson became obsessed with this matter.

Xiuer will not avoid this.

Since the other party was worried about this, he could clearly explain the reason and dispel the other party's concerns in the most direct and efficient way...

......

----

......

When Shule walked out of the hotel with Tuckson, the latter's expression was no longer anxious.

It seems that Xiuer's psychological counseling was effective.

After hearing Shule's straightforward explanation without any beating around the bush, Tuckson realized that he was being too stubborn.

And Tuxon knew that he couldn't cause trouble for the teacher, so he quickly adjusted his mindset.

I was just worried that my position in the teacher's heart would be lost, which was not a big problem.

Besides, there are more important things to do next.

......

"[Notification] Takson, the target team has appeared in the suburbs."

This was the fourth day after the misunderstanding was resolved. On this day, Xuer pried open Tuxon's door early in the morning.

As the latter was hurriedly getting dressed after being awakened, Xiuer said those words.

At this moment, Takson's eyes suddenly became sharp. He didn't have time to care about his pants that had not been put on yet. He was anxious to get more information.

"how many people?"

"【Answer】According to the intelligence, there are 23 of them in total, including 15 magicians and 8 warriors."

Tuckson pinched his chin and began to think about how to deal with it.

"Are we the only two facing the enemy?"

Although we know that the guards in the city will soon know the information, it may take some time to wait for reinforcements.

And when facing the demons, those guards may not be of any use.

However, just as Tuckson was thinking about the battle plan, the next sentence dampened his enthusiasm.

“[Refutation] It’s not “we”, it’s me.”

"Eh?"

"【Reminder】I know you're worried, but I've already gathered all the information about that group of demons. There's no need to worry."

Seeing that his teacher was about to leave, Takson didn't care that he hadn't put on his pants yet, and hurried to the door.

"Teacher, are you serious? Do you really not need my help?"

This sentence also made Xiuer stop halfway and turn around.

"[Confused] How can you help me? In a one-on-one situation, you might have the capital to fight the demons, but if they outnumber you, your chances of winning are very slim."
