People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

"..."

Feeling the care and warmth from Selene, his stiff limbs were finally liberated, as if thawed. He stretched out his hands and slowly embraced Selene.

Melina saw everything as the master and disciple embraced each other after a long separation.

So this is the friendship between master and disciple?

She was born too late, and her body was burned, and she lost her mission and memory, which led to her not understanding many things.

This was the first time she had seen such a deep relationship between a master and a disciple.

After a long time, the two figures gradually separated.

"Alright, silly disciple, let's put aside the joy of reunion for now. We have other important things to do."

"?"

Hearing this, he slowly typed a question mark and looked at Se Lian in confusion.

But Seren was looking at Melina, who had been silent all the time, and gently pinched his chin, with a look of scrutiny, but his brows couldn't help but frowned slightly, and his face showed a conflicted look.

"Hmm... Disciple, your taste is really getting weirder and weirder. I really don't understand you."

As a master, she doesn't care how many women are around her apprentice.

But the women around him are a bit too weird: the sleeping girl, the maid, the little puppet princess, and the ancient dragon, but now there’s a spirit?

Why don't I get the XP that normal people get?

Se Lian's words left him speechless and he didn't know how to respond.

Obviously, the only person who is truly close to him is Marika, so how can it be said that his taste is getting weirder and weirder?

The other relationships haven’t been confirmed yet, okay!

However, his speechless response once again brought on Se Lian's teasing, who jokingly said, "...What, you don't plan to introduce me to your master?"

"Oh no, she is..."

"...Hello, my name is Melina. I have an agreement with him and will be traveling with him for the time being."

"Oh, hello, Miss Melina. I am the [Heretical Witch] Selian. My foolish apprentice must have done many unreasonable things. Thank you for your care all the time."

"...No, I should be the one thanking him. Thank him for traveling with me and helping me fulfill that promise."

The two women were chatting with each other here, completely forgetting him.

But Se Lian's words made him feel helpless: "Teacher, when have I ever done anything unreasonable..."

"Hmm, haven't you done it? I remember all the stupid things that your foolish disciple has done."

Seren turned and looked at him with a smile in her eyes. "Let's not talk about anything else. I still remember clearly what happened a thousand years ago during the Shattered War when you single-handedly challenged [Valkyrie] Marennia and [Starbreaker General] Latarn."

"I never thought your foolish disciple would be so stupid as to challenge two demigods alone. Why didn't you wait until they decided the winner before taking action?"

"Although you, my foolish disciple, were determined to die at that time, I'm afraid there's no one else as crazy as you in the entire border area."

"Now, can you still say that you are not unreasonable enough?"

It was as if Seren turned on a switch and started preaching to him.

Even Melina, who was a bit of a nobody, couldn't help but twitch her eyebrows when she heard what Seren said.

What did she hear? Fighting alone against [Valkyrie] Marennia and [Star Crusher] Latan?

She only knew that Reinhardt was very strong and was a powerful figure in that war. [Evil Omen Demon] Markit also called him that. But she didn't expect that he would face the two top demigods of the borderland alone.

I guess there is no one else with such courage in the entire border area. It can be said that it is an honor to be defeated.

In this light, the Morn City rebellion encountered in the Weeping Peninsula and the defeat of Greg really seemed to be nothing.

"Torret, is this why you chose him?"

Melina muttered silently in her heart.

Reinhardt has been listening to Serlian's teachings. He looks like a good student instead of a powerful person who has the strongest power in the border area.

However, he clearly caught a word in Serlian's words.

"Wait a minute, Teacher Se Lian, you said a thousand years ago?! You said a thousand years have passed?!"

"...A thousand years have passed. What's the problem? Don't try to use this as an excuse to avoid my teachings."

"No, teacher, wait a minute, I really don't understand. Has a thousand years really passed?!"

When Seren was about to continue preaching, he interrupted and asked.

A thousand years, has that much time really passed?!

I just slept for a while, but a whole thousand years passed?!

This is not a joke.

He always thought that only a hundred years had passed, at most two hundred years.

"Hmm, do you think your master is joking with you?"

Looking at Se Lian's serious expression, it didn't seem like she was joking, and when she looked at Xiao Mu, she nodded woodenly.

"...It has indeed been a thousand years since the Shattering War."

"..."

Well, he had nothing to say.

"It seems that you still don't believe it, apprentice. If that's the case, then follow me and I will show you how the Magic Academy has changed over the past thousand years."

"No, wait a minute, Teacher Seren, I believe it, I believe it."

Without further ado, Selian grabbed him and dragged him directly into the depths of the academy, regardless of whether he was willing or not, and took him to see the brand new Rhea Lukalia School of Magic.

However, rather than letting him witness the changes over the past thousand years, it would be more like showing off?

I learned from Seren that the magic academy is now under her rule.

The changes within the academy are just as Serlian said, a huge change.

There were no changes to the classrooms. Apart from the original apprentices, there were still Olivenis, Lazli, Highmore and Caleros, but the Shuangxian classroom was changed to the Tops classroom.

This was something he had never expected, and he finally understood why Mr. Topps's portrait was hung in the discussion room.

It turned out that he was recruited by Se Lian to set up a separate classroom.

Moreover, students in each classroom can not only learn the pyroxene magic of their own classroom, but can also go to other classrooms for further study.

The most popular classroom nowadays is not the Olivenis or Caleros classroom, but the Tops classroom. It is very popular because it has a low threshold, is easy to learn, and can even be compatible with prayer.

During this process, Seren took him to see Tops and say hello.

Needless to say, Topps burst into tears again when he saw him return, and this look reminded him of Burke.

In addition, today's magic academies also focus on practical operations compared to the theory in the past, integrating magic into life and combat.

A combat course was even specially opened for this purpose.

The person in charge of teaching was also an old acquaintance of his, Gunther, who had taught him in the Razli classroom, and Yog, the battlefield magician from the Haymo classroom who had left the academy.

It is said that Yug came back on his own initiative after hearing about the reform of the magic academy, so Seren arranged for him to be responsible for teaching practical combat.

The two men were also very surprised and excited when they saw Reinhardt. They pulled him and planned to take him out for a few drinks until he was drunk.

But when they saw Se Lian's look, the two of them wilted.

Seren is not easy to mess with now.

However, apart from these people, there were no other familiar faces in the magic academy, and he found that there seemed to be many more black knife assassins lurking in every corner of the academy.

At this point, he immediately thought of Di Xi and understood where those gazes from yesterday came from.

Apart from [Black Blade Master] Aleto, only her daughter Dixi can achieve this level.

Finally, Se Lian took him to climb a tall tower, which was the tallest bell tower in the academy.

This place can be said to be the closest place to the starry sky. It even feels like you can pick a star with your hand and see the entire scenery of Lienia.

But Reinhardt had no intention of watching, and instead stared straight at the magic circle-like thing under his feet.

"...Teacher, this magic... could it be the realm of magic?"

"Hmm, I never thought my clumsy apprentice would become clever one day. Yes, this is the academy's lost magic—the Realm of Magic. I, the master, have finally recovered this magic and improved it. Not bad, isn't it?"

This was the first time Se Lian showed such an expression, just like a child showing off a toy he was proud of.

Although it seems a bit childish, you have to say that such a teacher is quite cute.

"This pyroxene magic is indeed very good."

This is a magic circle that started from the highest clock tower in the academy and covered the entire academy in the past.

Vivid success stories are like moments of inspiration that make people realize them instantly.

It can make a baby who can't walk yet grow into a magician.

This is the pyroxene magic circle - the realm of magic.

Seren stood on the edge of the bell tower, the wind blowing in her face blew her robe and hair, but she didn't seem to care at all.

Gazing down at the ant-sized crowd below from the bell tower, he couldn't help but sigh:

"...Alas, these children's foundations are truly pitifully poor. Even with the blessing of the magical realm, they still cannot display their talents."

She originally thought that restoring the magical realm would allow the academy to return to its peak state, but unexpectedly it didn't have much effect at all.

It just allows those who were originally unable to learn pyroxene magic to have the talent to learn pyroxene magic.

That's it.

"Well, teacher, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, the Elden Ring is broken and the entire border area is in chaos. It's quite a feat that you've been able to lead the magic academy to this level."

Coming to Se Lian's side, they looked down together and comforted each other softly.

"Haha, I never thought that there would be a day when I would be comforted by a silly disciple like you..."

A smile from the heart gradually appeared on Se Lian's face, and he asked:

"Then my foolish apprentice, do you like this gift from your master?"

PS: I’ve been a little busy lately, the outline is being revised, and I have to attend a wedding in two days. It’s a tragedy.

168. Serenity's Change (6.2K)

"...Teacher, are you saying that this entire magic academy is a gift to me?"

Reinhardt asked tentatively, fearing that he had heard wrongly.

"Well, since you, my disciple, have participated in that woman's plan, I believe that you will inevitably have to take the position of King of Elden, so I will definitely need manpower. This is a gift from me specially for you. I will let the entire academy help you."

"...But, from the looks of your disciple, you don't seem to like it very much?"

"Ah, no, I just have some questions for you, teacher. Are all these things in the academy, including the changes in Menqian Town, done by you alone?"

"Is there no one to help you? For example, to give you some advice or something?"

As he spoke, his little eyes kept drifting towards Selene's feet.

He discovered early in the morning that his teacher Se Lian seemed to be wearing not only high heels, but also black stockings wrapped around her feet.

Tsk tsk tsk, how did the teacher know that he likes this?

"Haha, of course. Aren't these the things you, your foolish disciple, described during our casual chats when we lived in the basement of Post Street in Nimgfu? I, the master, have specially reproduced them."

Se Lian said this proudly, but he also noticed Reinhardt's gaze. His eyes flickered slightly, and his face was stained with an imperceptible blush. He quietly walked to his side and whispered in his ear:

"Does it look good?"

"Yeah, it looks good." He responded subconsciously.

After saying that, he realized what was happening and quickly changed his words: "Ah no, teacher, you misunderstood..."

"What did the Master misunderstand?"
