Witch, don't be so lazy

"..."

There was silence for a while.

Given so many key words, Zedo naturally understood what China wanted to say: "Do you think she might be related to the Kite Bird of the Age of Gods?"

"Yes, didn't everyone speculate that she was from Paradise? The great creator of spell patterns, the god of birds, the pioneer of the path to omniscience, the first witch."

Qina pursed his lips, stretched out his tone, and recited a widely circulated passage,

"Like drawing a line across the surface of water, the sky and the sea are distinguished; like outlining the boundary between light and darkness, light and shadow appear; as His tail feathers drag across the starry sky, sublime power outlines the lines; the ancient god watches the runes fall like a meteor in rainbow blood, unable to do anything but rage."

China had been nonchalant before, but as he spoke, he couldn't help but become solemn. "If it weren't for His efforts, we might still be in the Age of Gods."

Zedo was silent for a moment.

"That is truly unimaginable power and noble will. The witch ancestor who controls circles and realms... Do you think she and Him are connected? From the same paradise?"

"I don't know. I was just imagining things. You can't blame me entirely. The princess gave me the inspiration."

China shrugged and chuckled.

"...If there's nothing clear, stop talking nonsense and stop getting distracted."

Zedo waved his hand and went back to his work.

Having said that, the two of them subconsciously diverted some of their attention to see if they could receive any messages from the starry sky.

After waiting for a long time, the two looked at each other.

The lady did not respond. I don’t know whether she was busy or not sure about this guess.

There's nothing more to say, just get on with your work.

There's one more chapter, but it should be evening.

Chapter 31 Curriculum and Teaching (8070)

He gently pressed his palm on the carpet and issued commands through magic. An Ke steadily controlled the magic carpet to lift himself up, and then demonstrated everything he knew.

Although it was her first time practicing, she was able to apply directional thrust and control the center of gravity perfectly, thereby achieving operations such as moving forward, turning, and emergency stopping.

This was mainly due to her strong mental power and the precise control of telekinesis magic. Moreover, when she was in Asda City, she also used the high-level spell "Wings of Blazing Flame" for a long time with the help of Sutur.

Once you have gained a higher perspective, you will feel more comfortable when you set out on your own.

"very good."

Mrip nodded, but didn't offer any further comment. Instead, he asked, "Would you mind telling me where your storm spirit comes from? Magic, talent, or bloodline?"

Anko answered immediately, "It's magic, mainly the sprint spell, and an offensive spell, Mr. Mrip."

As she spoke, she casually cast a sprint spell on herself. A flash of green light appeared, and her body began to become lighter and entered a sprinting state.

An Ke relied on practicing the "Sword of Broken Steel" and the "Sprint Spell" to obtain a tiny bit of storm spirituality, which was pitifully little. In the perspective of the Eye of Judgment, it was just a few scattered light blue spots.

If the old man had not covered up the large amount of spiritual powers of shadow, frost and sun that were blessed and protected by her before leaving, it would have been difficult to see it.

"Specialization level, not bad."

The harpy assistant instructor immediately saw Anke's skill proficiency. He thought for a moment and continued to ask,

"Let me test you. What do you think is the biggest difference between the Sprint Spell and the Light Body Spell?"

An Ke was stunned.

What's the difference between the Sprint Spell and the Light Body Spell?

What else could it be? The former is an advancement of the latter, with a stronger effect, more like Happy Running Man.

But such an answer was obviously unqualified, and An Ke quickly went over the two spells in his mind.

As a trick, if we ignore the subsequent development and only look at the casting effect, the Light Body Technique belongs to the relatively weak category - it reduces some weight through the wind element, making the caster's steps lighter, slightly enhancing speed and jumping, and also reducing a certain amount of falling damage.

At first glance, it seems pretty good, but unfortunately, the so-called speed increase and height jump, even if the proficiency reaches the level of expertise, can only add one or two points to a normal person, and it will also decrease with body size and weight. If it is a large creature like a troll, or even a human wearing heavy armor, it may have almost no effect after casting the spell.

The same applies to slowing down a fall. Reality is not a game. As long as the height is too high, the weight is too heavy, or the force is incorrect, those who are supposed to be sprained will still be sprained, and those who are supposed to die will still die.

However, for most adventurers, the means of acceleration they have access to are very limited. Considering that the faster they run, the better, and light footsteps can make scouts more convenient, everyone in the team is required to learn the art of light movement.

As a lone wolf, An Ke did not spend time practicing this trick during her apprenticeship because she had no intention of assisting others and felt that many functions could be achieved through telekinesis.

When the "Sprint Spell" comes, the situation is different.

This is a very good astronomical school magic. Although it can greatly increase the running ability, with the help of the wind element, the speed, burst, jumping and other aspects have been greatly enhanced. The function of reducing weight and reducing falls naturally still exists.

Of course, the "Sprint Spell" is similar to the "Light Body Spell" and is still subject to restrictions on body size and weight.

It seems that, judging from the functional performance alone, the former is an all-round improvement over the latter, and there seems to be no difference.

An Ke frowned, his mind working rapidly. If he compared their spellcasting details in depth, he would be able to find some differences.

For example, the wind element mobilized by the Light Body spell is only concentrated in the lower limbs, which is the key to its lightness, while the Sprint spell covers the entire body. This is the difference between them... Wait, there seems to be more...

"Is it the difference in the way the wind element is controlled? The Light Body spell can only form a crude cushion and support underneath, while the Sprint spell appears to simply cover the surface of the body with the wind element, but in reality, it's more like adding, uh, a trait that allows the caster to passively attract wind?"

An Ke pondered and weighed his words, "This is the core of the sprint spell. No matter how you move, you will pull the air current. If you move with it, you will speed up, and if you move against it, you will slow down. It's like gaining invisible assistance."

"Yes, the key is to move."

Mulu was holding it in for a long time, and finally got the chance to interrupt.

"Because the method of controlling wind has been changed, 'Sprint Spell' is a swift advancement of 'Lightness of Movement', rather than another specialization."

She folded her wings and placed her hands on her hips. "Not bad, sister. Although it took you much longer to think about it than I did back then, you finally managed to answer it successfully... Hey, Mrip, why did you hit me? Don't you know that hitting the head will make you dumber and also make you shorter?"

The harpy girl looked indignant and yelled at the big harpy in front of her.

Almost at the same time as she spoke, her head paused.

It was as if something hit her very quickly. By the time Anko realized it, the harpy girl's chestnut hair had become messy.

What a great speed.

Anke couldn't help but feel surprised, not only because her Eye of Judgment and telepathic perception were half a beat slower to catch Mlip's attack, but she was even more surprised that Mlulu seemed to have predicted it in advance.

Precognition? Super insight? Or some special gift?

It couldn't be magic, could it? A similar effect, "First of Firsts," was a high-level spell, requiring a third-level mastery.

It seems that there are still hidden talents in Tower Academy, and even those who claim to be idlers are quite capable.

The two harpies were unaware of Miss Anke's active thoughts and just bickered with each other.

"Don't interrupt me. You're the only one trying to lower the reputation of our Dorendel all day long. It makes us look like our tribe has no manners at all."

Mlulu was very dissatisfied with Mlipu's answer. She wanted to argue at first, but she felt guilty the next moment.

"Your performance is subpar, Mulu. You've been too lazy lately. In the past, you could at least dodge and resist. But what about now? Do you want me to see your iron head? Or do you want to show off the physique you've strengthened after working so hard?"

The words of the harpy assistant were as sharp as a dagger, stabbing Mululu so hard that she couldn't help but cover her face with her hands.

"But I don't see any significant improvement in your life force. You've only gained weight. No matter how you look at it, it's just greed, right?"

"...I'm not fat, I've just gained a little weight... And I've already noticed it. I'm just more self-aware and don't put up unnecessary resistance. This is clearly my unique wisdom and filial piety. I know how to respect the eagle. It's unfair for you to accuse me like this..."

Mululu tried to defend herself, her wings flapping continuously.

Unfortunately, the other party knew her character very well and knew that she was not an easy person to deal with, so he directly used his trump card.

"I think I should consider whether I should suggest that the family reduce your subsidy this quarter."

It's like hitting a snake at its most vulnerable part.

"No, I was wrong, dear Uncle Mrip."

Mulu folded her wings, looking like an ordinary person putting their hands together and begging for mercy.

"If I didn't have the subsidy, I probably wouldn't be able to get into the Advanced Years. No, even my daily expenses would be very difficult. If I was reduced to begging around the academy, running around various clubs and asking for free food and drinks, wouldn't it be a disgrace to us, Dorendel..."

Mululu's voice became lower and lower.

The main thing was that she noticed that Mrip's gaze had become very sharp. She didn't seem to be looking at an eagle-man, but rather at a twisting and turning snake, wondering how to strike, and whether to salt-bake or red-wrap it.

of course.

Perhaps because he took into consideration that this was a flying class after all, there were outsiders around, and the snake shrank back wisely, so Mrip didn't make any unnecessary moves in the end.

He simply ignored the embarrassing thing and continued to communicate with An Ke:

"Well said. The biggest difference between the Sprint spell and the Light Body spell is that it allows the caster to passively attract wind elements as they move. This is the meaning of the 'Swiftness' specialization."

"Based on your current progress, you should be able to understand what you should strive for if you want to specialize in 'power' with the Sprint Spell, right?"

An Ke thought for a moment and asked, "Continue to enhance the ability to move the wind?"

Although she used a question mark, she was already certain in her heart that her idea should be correct.

Continuing along this path, when the ability to pull the wind exceeds a certain threshold, the "Sprint Spell" will naturally be promoted to the "Gliding Spell".

The literal meaning of the word confirms this. Normal gliding utilizes aerodynamic structures to successfully convert part of the gravitational potential energy into forward kinetic energy. In the magic of the present world, the wind element is used to drive the airflow, so even without a conventional structure, it can still glide.

If it continues to develop, the next step should be the ability to actively obtain lift, thereby achieving free flight, that is, a higher-level "Wings of the Wind God".

Of course, there must be other secrets to the "Wings of the Wind God". Otherwise, relying solely on this ability, it would probably not be able to win the reputation of the fastest high-level flying spell.

"Well, there's no real difference between the advanced Gliding Charm and the Sprint Charm, so it can also be considered a 'power' advancement."

Mrip nodded. "The principle isn't difficult to understand, but how to implement the intermediate steps is indeed something worth pondering."

"Let's begin the spell. Mastering the wind element, or storm energy, is no easy task. It's an overly lively child. Although not as violent as fire, it's much more slippery."

then.

The harpy man briefly introduced the spellcasting techniques of power specialization, from the control of magic and mental power, to how to shape a reasonable spell model, how to optimize and adjust magic nodes, how to improve the stability of spellcasting as much as possible, and how to enhance the ability to dispatch wind elements.

After hearing the analysis, Anke's eyes lit up.

It was the first time for her to listen to someone explain magic in a systematic way. Before, after the old man knew that she was practicing the "Invisibility Spell", he would occasionally say a few words when he was dissatisfied, but he would not explain it in such a profound and easy-to-understand way. Sometimes he even felt that An Ke's questions were too annoying, and he would roll his eyes and say "Who told you not to become a disciple and switch to the Shadow School?"

But now, she truly understood what academic magic teaching was. It had a clear structure and many details, but it was not obscure or difficult to understand.

Although a lot of prior knowledge was required, the other party's explanation was quite master-like - whether in the past life or the present world, An Ke felt that anyone who could explain complex content in an orderly manner, and even make it easy to understand to a certain extent, was a so-called master.

The only pity was that she clearly noticed that due to being in a hurry, the other party suppressed many of the places where he wanted to cite extensively, and only skimmed over a large amount of content, picking out the key points to talk about.

In addition to the linguistic description, there is also factual support -

"According to conventional teaching, I should find a venue, actively cast the Pulling Storm spell, and then let you understand it in class. But you are different from other students. You have a good thing with you."

Mshop stretched out his hand and gently waved it, causing the Dorendel feather hidden in the Anchor bag to vibrate and the surrounding air currents to swirl.

"Outsiders often think the Divine Eagle Feather's primary function is to allow for temporary flight, or to summon strong winds to defeat enemies. Some have a deeper understanding, knowing it was created from the beginning to facilitate cultivation, but they only have a partial understanding, believing it relies on the slight storm affinity it grants the wearer."

Momo and the Lord of Kunda City said that they were innocent victims.

"But in reality, for true astronomical mages, especially those who practice the Storm Element, they can completely understand how feathers in different forms mobilize wind elements and guide air currents, thereby assisting their own practice."

"In a sense, at the stage of low-level and mid-level magic, it is almost equivalent to a personal teacher. It is more vivid and vivid than my long-winded teachings, so not many outsiders can get them."

Mlip paused, "But you're almost using up its energy. I'm not good at replenishing it, but if you have time, you can go to the Condor Society. There are people there who are good at alchemy."

"Let's leave it at that for now. We've already kept the other students waiting for quite some time. Even with Mulu here, it wouldn't be good to waste too much time. If you have any questions about practicing the 'Sprint Spell' in the future, you can ask me during flying class. Otherwise, you might have to wait until 'Wind and Magic II' three months later when we get to the relevant class."

Each course in the Book of Wisdom will be given a different course schedule, which is similar to the table of contents of a book.

Some courses provide an introduction and title, for example, the first section of the flight class is "Introduction to Flying"; some courses do not, such as the cooking class only has numbers such as "Ⅰ" and "Ⅱ", but through the information in the forum, you can roughly understand the content of each course.

As for the practice of "Sprint Spell·Power", you have to wait until the thirteenth section "Wind and Magic·Two", because before that, there are many analyses of other flying methods, changes in different environments, related tricks and other low-level spells.

Even for a single "Sprint Spell", you might need to explain the advancement of other specializations.

Of course, some students may feel that the above courses are useless and can completely skip them. Anyway, most courses do not have things like regular scores. Although there are final exams, they are usually not too difficult.

For example, the flying class tests flying, and not all students are required to cast a special spell; the same goes for the cooking class, where students are required to make a dish and demonstrate the changes in their life energy before and after. The course will be successfully completed if the requirements are met.
