“What? You really feel like you can already grasp Holy Gate of Life?!”
“That’s right. It’s dead boring here… Teacher Liszt, how about you teach me another skill? Doesn’t Holy Gate of Life need to be used in juncture with another skill anyway?”
Inside the empty afternoon sickroom, more than half his bandages torn down, his arms and legs already able to move, Ayrin looked as though he had no idea where to put his hands, seemingly bored stiff. Meanwhile, standing beside him, Liszt was wearing a blank, stunned expression.
“You really think you can grasp it?”
“That’s right. I feel it’s just a tiny bit harder than Eyes of the Dark Goddess. That’s about it. If you let me condense arcane particle now, I should be able to learn it today already, I think?”
After hearing Ayrin’s self-assured answer once again, Liszt could only helplessly pinch the bridge of his nose.
The Holy Gate of Life that not even five people altogether in the history of Holy Dawn Academy managed to learn became something not that difficult in Ayrin’s mouth… Although he was aware Ayrin was a extraordinary monster when it came to his learning ability, this degree still made Liszt thoroughly speechless.
“Big bro, I spent a full four years learning it. I learned it so hard my head was filled with scrolls every day, even when I went to sleep… I almost became a simpleton before I finally managed to learn it. Now you’re telling me it’s not very hard?”
“It seems that any skill whatsoever looks about the same difficulty in your eyes?” With great difficulties, Liszt held back the urge to call Ayrin big bro. He helplessly said, “You haven’t recovered yet to the stage you can condense arcane particles. If you’re not pulling my leg… I have no choice, I can only let you learn another two skills.”
“Really?”
Ayrin immediately hopped down from the bed. “Teacher Liszt, why would I pull your leg… There’s nothing to do all day here, I can’t go out either, it’s really too boring. Hurry up, teach me!”
“Ayrin!”
Cana happened to walk inside just then, carrying two bottles of medicine. Her face blanched as soon as she saw Ayrin hop down from the bed.
“No problem, no problem. I”m already fine.”
Seeing Cana’s face, Ayrin immediately lifted his arm and move his legs, his laughter a little awkward: “My body feels like it’s going to become stiff already if I don’t move it right now.”
“Cana, good timing.” Liszt also laughed out loud. “Put your Thunder Blaze Wall in a detailed scroll while you’re here and give it to Ayrin.”
“Teach him my skill?” Cana hadn’t heard Liszt and Ayrin’s previous conversation, but listening to Liszt words, then seeing Liszt and Ayrin’s expressions, she understood almost instantly. A shock hard to describe with words once again filled her. “Even Holy Gate of Life, did he already…”
“Teacher Liszt, Teacher Cana, what kind of skill is Thunder Blaze Wall?” Ayrin became excited all of a sudden.
“It’s an large-scale damage taboo skill just like Audrey’s Absolute Zero. It’s also a skill that very few people in our Holy Dawn Academy can grasp,” Liszt lazily explained.
“A large-scale offensive taboo skill?” Ayrin’s eyes shone bright as soon as he recalled Audrey going into action. In one versus one duels before, he didn’t have a clear concept of the differences between targeted and large-scale offensive skills. But after going through the fight against Massay and the others, he’d felt very keenly how useful a large area damaging skill could be in a battle with many arcane masters involved. Even in a one versus one duel, they could cut off the opponent’s retreat and force them into blocking it instead of avoiding it.
“Plus, this skill of hers isn’t a pure fire skill. It’s a combination of fire arcane energy with lightning. That way, even if the opponent had something like Fire Embers just like you do, or perhaps a skill that can withstand pure lightning skills, they still wouldn’t be able to completely block the power of this skill,” Liszt said with a faint smile. “Together with the skill Fetter Ruin I’m going to teach you that specializes against single targets, it should be enough for you right now.”
“Huff…” Ayrin exhaled, extremely satisfied. But the next second, he seemed to think of something else, and said, “But teacher Liszt, I still have many days left I have to stay here. I should be able to learn these two skills very fast, I’m going to be very bored again after that.”
“…” Liszt almost fell down head first.
