Chapter 183: Training in Twilight Forest part 2 (1/2)
Author: M_W Cancer
Every time teacher Marvin was teaching in class, Leo could easily understand everything about the lesson.
However, teacher Marvin has never taught any of them before some Magic spells, but instead only the things related to Mana, Mages, and some other related topics. Although he had also taught them about Magic, it wasn't about Magic spells but other things, like the unique properties of each Elements and many things similar to that.
Teacher Marvin had taught them that Mana is the most important thing in Celestial World, just like what his Master Olivia had said to him before. He, of course, naturally understands that.
Magic was the result of using the Mana if he shortens every explanation down into one phrase. Obviously, that is also easy to understand.
Mages are the people that can control Mana and can cast magic spells. That is again also something he can easily comprehend.
Teacher Marvin also taught them the different cultivation levels, specifically the Star, Galaxy, Constellation, Domain, and Realm level. There were also a few more others, but he just didn't mention it, saying that it is almost impossible for them to achieve such a level in cultivation. He, of course, easily understands all of that, too.
However, that still doesn't help him cast an Assault Magic spell. So, he could only say that Mage Academies don't plan on teaching their students any Magic spells, but instead let them learn the Magic spells by themselves first through the help of their respective libraries and the teachers would then just provide assistance after the students have chosen a Magic spell. In such a way, it's the students that had to choose the Magic spell, and not them, hence it's the students that decided that this kind of Magic spell is perfectly suited for them. And what they would then do next is just give their students a platform to improve their chosen Magic spells.
At first, he doesn't know why since Mage Academies' purpose was to do such a thing, right? However, he then finally understood when his Master Olivia had said that the Mage Academies only teach their students the General idea of the topics related to Mana and Magic.
To sum up everything, it is his responsibility to learn Magic spells.
He was able to easily understand the Support Magic spells. Unfortunately, the moment he starts studying about the Assault Magic spells, he wasn't able to achieve anything aside from forming items made out of Fire Element, Water Element, Wood Element, Earth Element, and so on.
He seriously can't cast any of those distinct Assault Magic spells. It wasn't like he didn't try learning them, too. In fact, he had read a few books every time teacher Marvin was discussing or from time to time during his missions like when he was doing the escorting mission of Veronica.
Unfortunately, it is still too difficult for him. And up until now, the only Assault Magic spell he knew is Fireball spell. He learned that at the time when his Master Olivia went to teach him back in the villa. But sadly though, the Fireball spell was actually something that Mages doesn't really consider as an Assault Magic spell, saying that Fireball spell is just made by concentrating a Fire Element Mana in a circle. To be honest, he doesn't even know why a Fireball spell explodes the moment it touches something or someone, the moment he threw the Magic spell towards any of it.
Seriously, it is really hard for him to learn the Assault Magic spells. And now, in order to do a Magic Integration, he needs to actually deeply understand a certain Magic spell.
Leo can't help but thought, ”How the f*ck would I even learn that?”
Even after Chief Lago explained how his Green Terrain spell works, he still doesn't understand why and how did the Nature Element Mana even helps the plants grow.
Like for example, if he just simply gathers a Nature Element Mana, then threw it towards an empty patch of land, would it then help the plants hidden anywhere in that empty patch of the land grow? Obviously, not! Instead, the Nature Element Mana he had gathered would turn into a Nature Ball, causing destruction in the empty patch of land instead of helping the plants grow.
Instead of debating with himself, Leo finally decided to ask a question, ”How does the Nature Element Mana you have gathered helped the plants grow?”
”You actually don't know about that?” Chief Lago dubiously replied.
”I don't...” Leo replied while feeling embarrassed. He has already stayed in the Silver Mage Academy for a month now, and yet he still doesn't know a thing about that. It's not because he is stupid, he just doesn't know how it works. Moreover, they only have 2 days' worth of lessons every single week while the rest of the days would be focused on completing missions. So where could he even get extra time to learn that?
”Every Elements have something unique than the others. Like in the case of the Nature Element, what do you think can the Nature Element create?” Chief Lago asked.
Hearing Lago's question, Leo was quickly able to reply, ”Nature Element can create anything wood related and plant-related.”
”Exactly! And then the next question that comes into your mind is how do you create wood or plants using the Nature Element Mana, right?” Chief Lago smiled.
”Yes!” Leo can't help feeling excited inside.
”Actually, you don't! Since you are not the one that creates it.” Chief Lago replied, ”Every Magic spells have an incantation, you just need to say the incantation, and the Magic spell will follow. Think of it this way, the incantation is your order and the different Element Mana are your soldiers. The moment you send an order, it is then up to the Mana to execute it.”
Chief Lago then motioned for Leo to follow after his instructions, ”First you gather Pure Mana in your hands, then convert the Pure Mana to Nature Element Mana.”
Leo quickly did the same as he put his hand up in front and gathered Pure Mana and afterward converted it to Nature's Element Mana.
