The Magician of Rebirth

Flender is an out-and-out top student, with firm belief, good affinity for the elements, and always maintains a sufficiently calm mind and dexterous hands. Even if the mana reserves are somewhat insufficient, the few magic spells in the textbook are completely exhausted. Can't help him.What's even more exasperating is that this guy is also a well-deserved genius in alchemy. The catchphrase of Mr. Flavius ​​who teaches alchemy is: "You idiots whose brains were kicked by a donkey, Flanders who minored in alchemy I learned smelting a few months ago..." Flender has become the imaginary enemy of most alchemy students, and there is an endless stream of people who want to find fault every day.

However, Flender is an extremely gentle and polite person. He always remains calm in the face of all kinds of provocations (slander and brain teasing are also skills...); he also has no secrets and is willing to share with everyone His learning results (contributed homework and test papers for everyone to share resources) as time goes by, there are fewer people looking for trouble, and everyone is moved by Flender's selfless dedication and noble personality charm, but also because of his blond hair and blue eyes. Prince standard equipment, magicians and alchemists have established His Royal Highness Prince of Flanders Support Club.The support club deeply studied the lofty spirit of His Royal Highness, took him as the spiritual leader, united as one, and innovated bravely. Finally, after years of development, it has formed a huge organization that spans various professions, helps each other, and shares resources. It is the embryonic form of parliament.Of course, this is something.

Right now, the Prince's Support Club is just a small organization with only a dozen members, and even Flender himself doesn't know that this organization exists.So, thanks to Ilari, Flender paid little attention to anything other than magic and alchemy.If Flender, who has an inexplicable sense of resistance to creatures like "Prince", knows the existence of this organization, the result can only be that the group is destroyed!

There is a legend circulating in the Prince's Support Club - Flender has the blood of a certain outstanding magician (alchemist), and inherited the precious ancient books left by him, thus mastering the tricks of casting spells (alchemy) .It has to be said that this statement is somewhat close to the truth of the facts.As Flender's roommate and close friend (self-proclaimed), Keane, the president of the support club, decided to find that trick by all means, so that more members who are "crazy tail" and "must die" like him can bathe in the glory of the prince middle.

Of course, his so-called unscrupulous means is to adopt urgent man-marking tactics, except for going to the toilet and taking minor fencing lessons, he monitors Flender's movements 24 hours a day.

For Flender, who knew nothing, he just felt that Kean became more and more clingy, especially when he picked up the magic book, this guy's eyes would shine, like a bachelor seeing the girl he loves, Sweeping back and forth at the "Basic Theory of Magic".It made Flender creepy and irritable, so he could only hide in the alchemy classroom and study magic books.Ilari, it's not like he doesn't have magic textbooks!

In fact, Flender in the previous life had never read this kind of basic teaching material for introductory magic. The wind wolf was born as a commoner and had no chance to touch magic. After signing the contract, he has an unimaginable affinity for magic and almost inexhaustible magic power for other magicians.Skip the basic magic directly, and focus on the application of various powerful high-level magic and auxiliary magic.

Later, most of the ancient magic books he studied were records of some miraculous potions or lost ancient magic, and some manuscripts that recorded the travel experiences of magicians, and basically did not involve magic theory.In other words, Wind Wolf is a purely practical magician. His spells and potions are impeccable, but the theoretical level is almost blank.

The magic power of the wind wolf was almost lost when the soul was transferred, and there was no wind elf king to help improve the affinity of the elements, and he didn't get any "magic power".The reborn Flender is just a young man with relatively good aptitude and no foundation. Therefore, the first step in learning magic is to read through the textbook.

"The so-called magic is to destroy the balance of the elements in nature. The process of returning the elements to balance will produce unimaginable huge effects. People with strong magic power can make the elements deviate farther from the balance position; and people with strong affinity for the elements can Control more elements; different spells guide the elements in different directions, forming different effects; but the decisive factor for the deflection trajectory of the elements lies in the guidance of beliefs, and the spells are just an auxiliary function.

In other words, the power of magic = magic power * magic affinity.Magic type = track and direction of elemental movement = faith (+ spell). "

Flender closed the "Basic Theory of Magic", slid the nib of his pen, and wrote the above conclusions in his notebook.That's about as much valid information as there is in this massive 897-page book.Flender didn't understand why the magician who wrote the textbook would twist his speech like an aristocrat, pile up gorgeous and elegant words, and describe the concise basic theory in an obscure and difficult way.When it comes to the function of spells, we simply avoid the most important ones and pile up all kinds of complicated and lengthy spells for students to memorize; as for the role of beliefs, we completely avoid talking about them. The forbidden spell is released at all times, or it is used as a legendary novel to entertain the public, or it becomes a positive teaching material for ideological education, instilling in students that "patriotism is justice" and "Ilari will take pity on a patriotic magician, even if he is just a Apprentice"...the idea.The basic theory that has been completely distorted!

"The so-called belief is the degree of concentration of the mind and the urgency of the casting mood. It controls the movement trajectory of the elements and produces different effects. In this way, the 'faith' I define should be basically equivalent to the 'magic' mentioned in ancient books." Control'." Flender recalled his feeling of casting spells in his previous life, and continued to write down, "Faith is not omnipotent. After all, the distance of element movement is related to magic power. Even if the movement direction is correct, the movement distance is not enough to produce the desired effect. .”

"As for the spells, they probably use the power of language to guide the elements, but many spells, especially advanced spells, take too long to recite." Vlad remembered that he died because of this in his previous life. Sasha's sword was too fast and too hard , I was too caught off guard, I had no time to recite the spell to defend against the wind wall, I could only watch the sword pass through my chest...

"Trying to revise and streamline all kinds of spells one by one, I think it will be difficult for me to do it in my life..." Flender frowned. The lengthy spells are the reason why magicians are far inferior to swordsmen in melee combat.As for the power of long-distance strikes, a high-level mage can release a mass-destructive spell at most 10 times, and the magic power will be exhausted. The power may be stronger, but the overall lethality is definitely not as good as that of the alchemist. fired artillery.From this point of view, the decline of magic is inevitable.

Flender looked down, looked at the results of his three weeks of research, and let out a long sigh.

The spirit of the wind brought a familiar smell, Flender quickly adjusted his expression, and turned around with a decent smile. Sure enough, the black-haired boy was holding a magic robe comically, and approached him on tiptoe.

Flender raised the corners of his mouth, it's good, it happened again, and he just happened to be a little unhappy.

Flender gathered his magic power and condensed it into a small wind blade on his fingertips—an entry-level wind spell, is it powerful? It can probably replace a fan in summer.

Flender curled up his index finger and opened the "Basic Theory of Magic" again. His expression was focused, his brows were slightly furrowed, and the wind blade was hidden under the black cowhide cover. It jumped cheerfully and lightly, soundlessly, drawing light tracks in the air.

Flender suddenly took a deep breath, as if seeing something interesting, opened his eyes slightly, leaned forward slightly, and then noticed with satisfaction that his black-haired prey was gradually approaching the hunting range, three meters, two meters ,one meter……

Flender hastily put down the book, his right hand was leaning on the ink bottle, as if he wanted to unscrew the cap; his left hand was temporarily used as a bookmark, and he tapped on the place he had just read.I could feel the scorching sight behind me constantly changing angles, and I wanted to see the text on the page, but was just blocked by my back.

Flender lowered his eyelashes, gently unscrewed the cap of the ink bottle, secretly counting down the time in his heart, and then felt that the book in his hand was suddenly pulled away by a strong force.

Flender exclaimed, turned around abruptly, swiped out the ink in his right hand, and instantly fired the hidden wind blade in his left hand, and the splashed ink was splashed on the face of the attacker under the action of the wind.

At the same time, Keane's guilty laughter sounded out, "Hahaha, Flender, what are you looking at... Uh! Bah, bah!"

Flender looked at his roommate, whose face was completely the same color as his hair, and who was still spitting ink. He was a little surprised at first, and then apologized, "Kean, why is it you? Ah, I'm so sorry, hurry to the toilet to find Let's wash it with water!"

"It's okay," Keen smiled dryly, wiping the same black ink on his face with his black sleeve, still thinking about his mission, and kept sneaking glances at the pages in his hand, "You were so engrossed just now, reading what?"

Vlad admired in his heart that it was a wise decision to design the mage robe in black, otherwise other clothes would have been useless for wiping ink.With a sincere and puzzled expression, "I'm reading Ilari's prayer. However, I didn't expect there to be typos in the magic book. Look, there's an extra 'u' added here..." He raised his head, unsurprisingly I found Keane's expression of grief and indignation.

"Vlad, this is the spelling method of the nobles. They are used to adding a 'u' after the modal particles in prayers...it's not a typo..."

"That's it, let me just say it. By the way, Keen, have you lost your magic book?" Flender smiled gently.

"No, no, why do you think so, hahaha..." The facial features wriggled in a tangled state, and Keen tried to create a refreshing effect, but to no avail.

"Ah, it seems that you seem to be very interested in my book recently, so I thought you lost it. If you want to read it, I can lend it to you..." The corners of Flender's mouth continued to exaggerate, and his eyes were tolerant And warm.

"Uh, that..." Keane lowered his head, his eyes wandered, he didn't dare to look directly at Flender, his sleeves wiped his neck, messing up the originally fair neck, completely black from head to toe.

Flender continued to radiate the brilliance of the prince.

Keane made up his mind, and muttered in a low voice, "Well, Flender, your grades are so good, so we all thought you were reading some magic cheats, so..."

"Magic cheats?" Flender raised his eyebrows

"Well, your spellcasting success rate is always higher than ours, and your speed is faster than ours. The people in the alchemy class said that you have alchemy secrets." Keane secretly raised the corner of his eyes, peeking at Flender's expression, Just in time to meet his eyes, "You, are you not angry..."

Flender laughed. Kean, who was possessed by Jeff, really adjusted his mood. "Of course not." He bent his eyes, "I don't have any secret books. For junior magicians like us who lack magic power and haven't signed a contract with elves, they can't learn magic that is too advanced. I just read more textbooks and practice more. , It’s just to increase proficiency. If there is any secret to it..." Flender dragged his voice, and saw Kean quickly jump out of the shadow of disappointment as he wished, with staring eyes full of expectation.

"That is to really understand the basic theory!" Then you can combine reality, master spells, and avoid detours.Flender gracefully withdrew his magic book from the frozen black boy's hand, alas, kind Ilari, please forgive my little mischievousness...
