Witch, don't be so lazy

And in perception, the range it can extend reaches an astonishing five meters.

What the hell!

Anko gasped.

She could practically pass herself off as a low-profile stand-in. From now on, before a fight, she would twist her body and yell, "Take it, the magician's hand with a five-meter radius."

Kidding.

With its invisible and colorless characteristics, it must be able to launch a sneak attack, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and then hitting the opponent's vital points, wow.

Just thinking about it brings a happy smile to Anke's face.

Of course, compression comes at a cost.

According to Anke's speculation, if it remains in normal state, the duration of the Mage's Hand can reach half an hour. If it is compressed, especially when compressed to the limit, its duration will only be about five minutes.

It cannot fight a long-term offensive, but it is more than enough to fight a battle, especially a battle at Encore's level.

She now finally dared to say that she had acquired a certain degree of self-protection ability.

It can also be clearly foreseen that as she continues to meditate to train her mental strength, and further improves her proficiency in the Mage's Hand in the future, her performance in all aspects will be significantly improved.

An Ke excitedly conducted various experiments in the room until she was exhausted and stopped reluctantly.

Then he rolled around on the quilt, tossing and turning, stretching his hands and kicking his feet. After hesitating for a long time, Anke suddenly realized that he was hungry.

It was already late at night. Knowing that a breakthrough was imminent, I was in a hurry to get home tonight and just grabbed a sandwich when I passed by the kitchen.

I ate little to begin with, and after all the trouble I just had, my stomach started to get upset.

Moreover, her clothes were soaked, sticky and uncomfortable. An Ke rummaged through the box and found that both of her uniforms had been washed and were hanging out to dry.

It's late at night, the clothing stores outside are probably closed long ago. Tsk, what a bad decision.

……

Huge floor-to-ceiling mirror.

The mirror reflected the girl's soft cheeks, long golden hair as silky as satin, skin as crystal as snow, an elegant black maid skirt, and white over-the-knee socks with lace patterns.

Of course, the most important thing is the cute kitten ears.

"Hehe, it really looks good when you dress up."

Luya nodded with satisfaction, then eagerly held up the white braided dress in her hand: "Little Anke, try this one again. I can guarantee it will fit you perfectly!"

Originally, An Ke was turning left and right, admiring her own beauty, but when she heard someone's strange laughter and words, her little face suddenly stopped smiling:

"Didn't you just say you didn't have any other clothes?"

She was willing to change into a maid outfit because she had no clothes left.

Although the dress looked beautiful, An Ke would rather see others wearing it and serving her tea and water than wearing it herself, and it would be best if it could show off their snow-white breasts.

"Ah~ I just found the one about the death of Lu Lin's 83rd division~"

"Tsk, by the way, how can you guarantee a 100% fit?"

"A mage has his own methods, and my eyesight is very sharp~"

……

After straightening her white dress, An Ke sat at the dining table and wiped her lips with a tissue.

Dinner is done.

She thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Master Luya, is there any particularity in the selection of the three magic tricks?"

"Why do you think of asking this?"

Lu Ya raised her eyebrows. According to convention, she would at least tease him a few times first, or at least pinch his face before she would answer. However, she was in a good mood tonight, so she didn't care too much and answered very straightforwardly.

"Yes, even within the same school, there are over ten different types of magic tricks. There are naturally many tricks that need to be combined. After all, we have to consider the subsequent advanced spells. The specific contents are all secrets of each family and power."

The older sister smiled, "Of course, we have the Adventurer's Guild too, but you know what we have to contribute."

really.

An Ke pursed her lips. Even though she had expected it, she still felt a little disappointed.

"But the general idea is not a secret. You can tell An Ke directly."

Anke perked up and pricked up his ears.

Chapter 15 Occupational Division

hall.

The fire in the stone pond burned quietly, and the chair woven from vines swayed gently.

Luya held her chin.

"First of all, I want to ask you something. Does my little cutie have a career that he's interested in?"

"Profession?"

An Ke was stunned. Why did he suddenly ask this?

Is there career guidance in another world?

"You know, although they're all spellcasters at heart, wielding the same magical power, their mastery of different spell combinations ultimately leads to differences in their roles in social divisions and formal combat."

Luya smiled. "To put it simply, it's like the stories sung by bards. The popular professions: knights, rangers, assassins, mages, scholars, priests... and so on. Stories ultimately come from real life."

Really!

Anko's eyes widened.

"In fact, once you pass the Advanced Magic Qualification Exam and go to university for further studies, you'll find that all comprehensive schools are usually divided into four different departments. The names may be different, but in essence they all correspond to the Path of War, the Path of Wandering, the Path of Wisdom, and the Path of Resonance.

These are the four major professional systems that have been summarized and divided by the major forces over countless years and are generally recognized by Beyonders. You should have mentioned them in your classes at the academy."

It was written in the book, but it was only three or five sentences, and Teacher Mott just read it verbatim and skipped over it.

Sure enough, I still need to make up for it.

An Ke raised her little face, pushed the mango pudding she hadn't eaten, and said flatteringly, "Beautiful and kind Sister Luya, can you tell me in detail?"

"of course can."

Luya rejected Pudding, but didn't reject Enke's cheek. She pinched it gently, then said slowly:

"First is the Path of War. Mages from this faction are best at close combat and breaking through enemy lines, which is what we commonly understand as knights and warriors.

If you are determined to do this, then the prerequisite is to have a strong body, so you must master at least one long-term and growth-oriented spell.

If they are blessed with the blood of certain magical beasts, the most typical example is the Dragonborn, then they must at least master one of [Bloodline Awakening] and [Return of the Wild], and achieve the upgrading and transformation of the body by constantly tracing and tapping into the bloodline.

If one does not possess special bloodline and is just an ordinary creature, then in addition to years of training and bathing with secret medicines, physical strengthening magic from various schools is also essential. Well, folks often call this type of magic breathing techniques.

Of course, there are some people who choose to take unconventional approaches, such as transforming their bodies into elements or changing them into machines, but these are either niche or have very strict requirements, and usually one has to become a formal mage before starting the transformation.

In summary, those who are interested in this path have at least locked in one growth trick in advance. The remaining two choices are very simple: one for attack and one for survival, and that's it."

Anko nodded.

The Road to War, to put it simply, is the warrior in the Western adventure games of the previous life, the meat shield, the front row, the main features are charge, assault and endurance.

"Next is the Path of Wandering, which is similar to the Path of War. However, because the characters are positioned as rangers, assassins, and scouts, defensive tricks are often replaced with spells that focus on reconnaissance, concealment, and assisting long-range attacks. At the same time, breathing techniques are more focused on speed and agility.

However, it is necessary to remind you that if you want to take this path, practicing the corresponding spells is one aspect, and you also need to be proficient in various miscellaneous studies. For example, to become a qualified ranger, you need to observe footprints, identify herbs, set traps... These all require long-term and systematic training.

If you want to start from scratch now, you'll start later than others. Although your ultimate achievement may not be lower, it depends on your personal talent, hard work, and luck, but you will inevitably have to endure more hardships, sweat, and tears along the way.

Anke shook his head like a rattle.

Although she liked assassins when she played games in her previous life, for example, she often played shadow assassins and stealth bows in The Elder Scrolls V. She could sneak, then take out a dagger or a bow and arrow, and kill with one shot. It was very cool.

But games are games. If you really want to put it into reality, dancing on the edge of a knife is very dangerous. Moreover, you have to be exposed to the wind and sun in the wild, which is a job that puts physical strain on you. Miss Anke can only decline.

"The Path of Wisdom is what the public generally understands as a mage, mastering a wide variety of spells. Because it's so all-encompassing, it's difficult to simply summarize. At best, it can be divided into turret mages, research mages, and support mages, but the definition is still vague because the three types can often be converted into each other.

Unless they were those who took extreme unconventional paths, such as the manor wizards who were obsessed with researching and growing food, fruits, and vegetables; the doctors who practiced only healing spells and loved to save lives; or the logistics wizards who were responsible for repairing fortifications and houses...

If I were to list them all, there would be quite a few, but I don't think Anke would be too interested, so there's no need to offer any practice advice."

I'm really not interested.

Whether it's working in the fields, curing illnesses and saving lives, or working as a civil engineer, Enke has always been respectful but never intends to get involved.

"What about the Path of Resonance? It sounds so mysterious!"

Anko asked curiously.

"The Path of Resonance, this is probably the one with the fewest students among the four major professions. Some small colleges don't even have a corresponding department because it requires very special talents and opportunities."

Luya sighed, "So-called resonance either refers to establishing a connection with higher-status beings, or gaining strength from more vast and magnificent things.

The former can be priests and nuns of the church, communicating with the Holy Spirit through prayer; they can be shamans of primitive tribes in the southern continent, holding sacrifices to honor the souls of their ancestors; or they can be elves who aspire to become druids, practicing the call of the wilderness and fulfilling a contract with the spirits of nature.

As for the latter, the most typical example is Lady Adela, the noble Star Witch, who stands at the pinnacle of the astrology school; and His Majesty the "Earth Guardian" who sits at the fifth seat of the Tower and can control the flow of earth energy... But to follow the paths of these two adults, one needs an unimaginably high level of talent.

In fact, their faction has been searching for successors through divination and other means for years. If you possess the corresponding talent, you wouldn't be sitting here, but in the capital, in the Tower Academy."

Ok.

The four major professions have been discussed.

Anke had almost no hesitation, she must have taken the path of wisdom.

However, now that you have the proficiency panel, perhaps in certain circumstances, it would be a good idea to practice some other core professional skills, such as breathing techniques.

By then, others would think she was a fragile mage, and they would rush to her with great difficulty, and were about to attack her with a grin, only to find that she had rolled up her sleeves, picked up a baguette, and hit them on the head.

You didn’t expect that, I would learn from Gandalf and increase my strength to become a berserker.

As for the so-called three magic combinations, combined with Luya’s previous long paragraph, a normal mage obviously needs one attacker, one defender, and one auxiliary or endurance.

"Hey, then, Lady Luya, what type of a magician's hand is it?

An Ke suddenly thought of it.

"Mage's Hand, oh, it seems like this is what you're practicing."

Lu Ya's face was odd, and she carefully considered her words. "Little cutie, you have to understand that some things are just as their name suggests. They're like magic tricks, acrobatics, and dramas. They're all there is to it. You can't expect them to be too spectacular."

After all, it is the first spell that was created in the rumors. Its structure is relatively simple. It is just a special skill of using mental power. It cannot be said to have created or led any magic school.

Uh, what a tactful and heartbreaking comment.

An Ke blinked, but she felt that after her Mage Hand broke through to the mastering level, its power seemed to be quite high.

"Is there really no one who has the time and energy to study the Mage's Hand?"

An Ke was a little unwilling to give up and asked again.

The world is so big and has such a long history, there are always some weird people.

"Hearing what you said, it seems that I did see an example when I was browsing some books in college before."

Luya tapped her lips, trying to recall. "It seems he was born a slave from the Southern Continent. He's very talented, with extraordinary mental strength. He embarked on the path of magic due to a chance encounter. Because he had to avoid being hunted by the nobles, he had no time to learn new spells, so he just kept using the Mage's Hand. He eventually developed a signature spell, which allows him to unleash more than ten invisible arms with astonishing power. They are highly concealable and fast, so he can be considered both offensive and defensive."

"so smart?!"

Anke's eyes lit up.

"Yeah, I remember his signature spell was called [Invisible Hand]. It helped him commit atrocities for a while, causing panic among the local nobles. Later, it seemed he was hacked to death by an unknown knight who passed by."

Grass.

This name, who is the lazy priest?

Anke thought about it again.

"Will different spell combinations affect activities in the spirit world?"

She remembered the mark engraved in her soul after she broke through to the mastery level.

"Well, it mainly affects the area and the type of talent you gain by completing the Spirit World Tour... As you know, the specific information requires contributions."

Luya winked at An Ke and added, "But if it's the hand of a mage, um, a Chaos School mage, it won't have much of an impact, because the talents obtained are often a panacea... Well, it's too early for you to think about that. Ah, open your mouth."

Encore is obedient.

After the elder sister fed the mango pudding, a staff member came to report to her, so she left.

An Ke hesitated for a while and then slipped back to her room.
