Chapter 171: Opening the second arcane gate (2/2)

“…”

“Err… Teacher Songat, I can really do anything I want starting from now, other than leaving this sickroom?” Ayrin’s voice suddenly came to their ears.

“Of course you can.” Songat turned around and glanced at him, then whispered to himself, “Tsk, why are the wounded all male this time. None of Audrey or the others were wounded, otherwise I could have chatted with beautiful girls like them, it’d have been very interesting.”

“Bastard, what are you saying. Even if you’re a horny pervert, could you please not make it so damn obvious, alright?” The veins on Cana’s forehead were about to pop.

“Can I condense arcane particles then?” Ayrin asked, looking at Songat with an expectant face.

“Condense arcane particles?” Songat blinked.

“Why do you want to condense arcane particles at a time like this?” A lazy voice came to their ears just then. Wearing Holy Dawn Academy’s uniform, Liszt appeared in the doorway.

“Why can even someone like you come inside?” Though she was usually very happy to see Liszt, Cana almost had the urge to puke blood in here. “This a critical sickroom in the Office’s infirmary, why does it look like a food market now where anyone can casually stroll inside?”

“Don’t be depressed, I’m a special case, I obtained a special permission. I’m going to be in charge of his post-injury rehabilitating training from now on, haha,” Liszt said, laughing heartily.

“Teacher Liszt?”

Ayrin looked at Liszt in a daze.

His perception of Liszt still came from the various rumors and legends in Holy Dawn Academy. In Holy Dawn Academy’s legends, Liszt had the bloody, cruel, addicted to killing tags and so on all piled upon him.

Even the Belo who wasn’t afraid of anything and anyone was very fearful of Liszt.

“He doesn’t look all that frightening.”

After silently mumbling to himself, Ayrin glanced at Songat, looking a little hesitant.

“Haha, now’s our Holy Dawn Academy’s time. Songat, it looks like you can go rest outside.” Liszt lazily patted Songat’s shoulder. He’d apparently understood Ayrin’s thoughts with a single glance.

“Alrighty then. I heard Donna came too, I’ll go look for her,” Song immediately said, walking outside full of excitement and expectations.

“Worthy of the Songat who kept getting beaten up because of his lasciviousness, and then became the best arcane master after he kept healing himself back to shape.” Looking at Songat’s back, Liszt couldn’t hold back his smile.

“Alright then, now you can tell me why you want to condense arcane particles at a time like this,” Liszt said after a smile, looking at Ayrin.

“Because…” Ayrin carefully tried to sense it again. His face shone with excitement. “I sensed that my second arcane gate seemed open. I should be an arcane master with two open gates now, so the arcane particles I condense should be much more powerful than when I only had a single gate.”

“So you really opened your second gate.” Liszt had a faint smile; he didn’t look surprised at all. “So you were eager to find how much stronger your arcane particles are now. That’s the reason you’re so impatient to condense arcane particles so you can have a look.”

“That’s right. Teacher Cana, can I?”

With quiet swish swish swishes, the mummified Ayrin immediately sat up on the bed.

After the start of the national tournament, professor Plum had always imparted onto him the idea that the level of arcane particles was more important than having one more arcane skill, that he had to open his second gate before the start of the match against Silver Trout. This had been the goal of his recent training as well, so he was naturally delighted to find out he opened his second gate.

Cana subconsciously shook her head.

“You haven’t recovered yet. Your strength isn’t sufficient yet to use your body as a compression vehicle right now, so the answer is that you can’t,” Liszt said with a smile, actually very direct.

“Then about how many days do I need?”

“The open gate isn’t going anywhere. Since you passed the boundary of the second arcane gate, then you’re already a two-gates arcane master,” Liszt said with a faint smile. “It doesn’t matter if you wait a little before condensing arcane particles. You can still study arcane skills in the meantime.”

“Teacher Liszt, do you have any powerful skill you can teach me?” Ayrin was re-energized as soon as they started mentioning arcane skills. He couldn’t help but think back to the scenes of him fighting against Massay, as well as against Lotton and the others. He immediately looked at Liszt and said, “I feel that my attacking patterns are a little monotonous, my offense still relies mainly on Evil Flaming Eye and Crown of Ice and Snow.”

“In fact, you’ve already grasped many more skills than an arcane master of the same level. You’re the only one who thinks it’s too monotonous and not varied enough,” Liszt shook his head, saying seriously. “In fact, the greatest challenge facing you right now against an enemy isn’t too monotonous an attacking pattern, but the lack of arcane skills with particularly astounding destructiveness, or a control skill that can give immediately exercise control over your opponent and give you the initiative.”

“So, even though you already have a formidable fighting awareness, you might seize a decisive opportunity or deceive your opponent in a match, but you can only injure them because the might of your arcane skills is insufficient. You might not even be able to break through your opponent’s defenses. That’s the reason why you have an especially hard time facing your opponents.”

“I think it’s just like you said.” Ayrin thought a moment after listening to Liszt and immediately nodded.
