Academy City inner ring area, [Stars] top floor of high-end chain hotel, Suite Zero Living room
Ms. Diana A. Azizolti sat in the middle of the sofa without saying a word, trying very hard to look very serious, serious and dignified. , but failed very sadly because he has never made the above expressions since he was born...
To put it simply, not only is there no dignity at all, but the look of him biting his lower lip, reluctant to speak, blushing, and slightly erect eyebrows can be said to be cute.
Because of this, Futaba, who was ordered to sit opposite Diana, instead of being anxious and uneasy, had an indifferent look on his face, without any intention of introspection.
As for Frank Hughes, who was sitting next to Diana as a 'juror', he wore a harmless smile and looked at his lover with gentle eyes, his eyes full of doting.
"Futaba you...be more serious!"
Seeing that the other party was not at all intimidated by her non-existent 'aura', Diana finally broke angrily Silently, he patted his knees hard (and let out a cry of pain), and said seriously: "I must teach you well for Ana today! You...well, you are so disobedient!"
Futaba blinked her big watery eyes: "Why am I disobedient?"
"I stayed in the 31st area of the library for a whole morning!"
Diana slapped the table hard, Said angrily: "You said you were disobedient!"
Futaba tilted her head: "I blew up a hole in the library and sneaked in?"
Diana : "..."
Futaba tapped her lower lip: "Did I see you and Frank's live erotica in District 31?"
"Live erotica?"
Diana and Mo Tan were curious at the same time Blinking his eyes, it was obvious that although the Innocence Continent had never lacked some kind of 'books', some of the words Futaba casually said were still relatively difficult to understand for the man and woman in front of him. Of course, there were The incomprehensibility of Frank Hughes is to be put in quotation marks.
"Ah... the generation gap is so annoying."
Futaba curled her lips as her rhythm was interrupted, and after being silent for a while, she finally decided not to continue the comparison. Instead, he said straight to the point: "Anyway, the person who gave me the library pass was you Diana, right?"
Diana nodded reluctantly: "Yes."
"How many areas does this authority include, Diana, do you remember?"
Futaba raised her chin slightly and continued to ask questions .
"District...one to thirty-fifth."
Diana's momentum visibly weakened, she lowered her head and muttered softly.
"Then the question is, does the area between the first and thirty-fifth areas include the thirty-first area?"
Without giving the other party any room to breathe, Futaba asked again.
"Well..."
"Did you say I'm not allowed to go to District 31?"
"This..."
"Did Ana say she wouldn't let me enter District 31?"
"She..."
"Okay, I know I was wrong. It was my fault this time. If If I do it again, it will definitely be my fault next time, so please let me go.”
“Eh?”
Suddenly be honest after gaining the upper hand. Diana's eyes widened as Futaba admitted her mistake.
"Sophistry is all quibbles~"
The girl shrugged indifferently, lying on the coffee table and said lazily: "But I ignored the advice of you, Ana, and Uncle Kenneth to study epic magic. It’s an indisputable fact, and I’m not so shameless that I not only refuse to admit it, but also slap the blame on your head.”
Mo Tan couldn’t help but chuckle, and then pinched it secretly. Squeezing Diana's palm: "That's what she said. Isn't that quite sensible."
"Well! I know, I know... Frank, please don't cause trouble."
Diana pinched Mo Tan gently, and then sighed deeply. After organizing her words for a while, she turned to Futaba, who was already leaning on the table in front of her, and asked with a helpless expression: " You girl, have you ever thought about why Ana and I don’t let you dabble in more than advanced magic knowledge?”
Futaba said without any time to think: "Because you are afraid that this talented girl like me is too powerful and can easily surpass you... It can't be this reason, right?"
"Of course it's impossible. La! How stingy do you think Ana and I are?”
Diana wrinkled her nose and asked again: “Then let me ask another question. You violated our previous instructions today. I went to the 31st floor of that library to study the knowledge of the epic field all morning. What was the result? "
Futaba buried her face in her arms and groaned. He complained: "What a hammer...I don't understand what all these messy things are. It was so smooth when I learned high-level magic, but when I was fighting with those things just now...meow , I just couldn’t understand any paragraph in any book!”
“It’s normal that you can’t understand it”
Diana folded her legs gracefully, folded her arms and said to Futaba calmly: "If you can understand, we won't stop you from studying those things."
Shuangye Ye immediately raised his head in dissatisfaction and said angrily: "What do you mean it's normal for me not to understand?" ! Why are you so sure that I can’t understand it! Why can’t I understand it so much?”
“Because you are so good, little Futaba.”
Although the content sounded like a compliment, Diana's expression was very serious when she said this. Seriously, she pursed her lips anxiously, then took a sip of the warm water that Mo Tan handed over from the side. She was silent for a while before continuing: "Whether it's with me, Ana or Kenneth In my brother's eyes, you are a little too good, especially when it comes to magic. A concept and various fields related to it. "
Futaba straightened up lazily and said feebly: "So? The better people are, the more likely they are to be punished by God? Threshold or something? "Really?"
Mo Tan was startled and immediately turned to look at Diana.
"Generally speaking, it's definitely not the case!"
Leaning on the opponent's shoulder, Diana pouted and said softly: "Don't say it's a mage, it's astrology. , divine arts, knights, thieves, warlocks, rangers and other professions, generally speaking, people with higher talents can break through bottlenecks faster than others, whether it is from high-level to epic, or from epic to legend. That’s it.”
Futaba smiled dryly and raised his eyebrows: “What am I?”
"Futaba, can't you be a little more self-conscious..."
Diana looked helplessly at her 'half-apprentice' with dissatisfaction written all over her face, and finally couldn't hold it back. , leaving Mo Tan's shoulder and leaning over Shuangye's forehead, he flicked: "Although you had almost broken through the half-step high-level bottleneck when we first met, but according to Ana, more than half a year ago you He is still a crappy junior mage."
Futaba raised his eyes and said angrily: "The word 'crappy' is redundant."
"They are all mages. , your level at that time was indeed a bit lame in Ana's eyes, but according to her, that period did not last long, and soon, you seemed to have changed as a person, whether it was the control of your own magic power or the He became very capable of controlling external elements."
Diana looked at Futaba very seriously and said in a deep voice: "It was not long after that that Ana officially took you under her wing. as an apprentice, and mentioned it when he wrote to me.”
Futaba tugged at the corner of his mouth and asked without any emotion: "Oh, and then?"
Diana shrugged, held her forehead and said: "Then? Then just over half a month ago, I and I Brother Kenneth concluded through observation that you have stabilized at the peak of high-level, and you will not be at a disadvantage even if you face most half-step epics. Remember? The dinner that day was particularly sumptuous.”
"In less than a year, I was promoted from the beginner level to the peak of the high level..."
Mo Tan touched his chin and muttered in a low voice: "And in actual combat, it is not even weaker than the ordinary half step. Epic, it’s not like I’ve never seen this kind of story before, and it’s not like I’ve never made it up myself, but what I didn’t expect is that this kind of thing would happen in reality.”
Futaba curled her lips and hummed. Said: "It's rare and strange."
"Frank is not uncommon. In fact, even I didn't believe it at first that you advanced from beginner level to intermediate level in less than two months."
Diana picked up the cup and took another sip. Drooling, he said quietly with a very strange expression: "Until I witnessed with my own eyes that you went from intermediate to the current level in just a few months."
Futaba finally suppressed his absent-minded expression. With an expression on his face, he reluctantly sat up straight and said with wandering eyes: "I... have a special reason, Diana, you should know it, right? No matter how slow you are, you should be able to guess a little bit, right? Uncle Kenneth must have secretly explored my background a long time ago, right? What happened this time? "The [Tuning Sage] came here just to study this aspect with other forces, right?"
Diana took a deep look at Futaba, but after all, she still didn't care about Frank Hughes, a local. ' He said something more in front of him, but nodded silently.
Obviously, Futaba did not think that his identity as a player could be hidden from Diana and the others. Even if Ana Ta Rasha did not take the initiative to mention this matter to her best friend, even if Diana's personality is somewhat off-kilter, and she is definitely not unaware of any clues. What's more, she is one of the three greatest astrologers in the entire continent. There is really no reason why she hasn't discovered any problems after being together for so long. .
As for the [Sage of the Misty Moon] Kenneth A. Achizolti, Futaba really had no chance of hiding it from him, because one of the members of the Council of Truth was completely opposite to his cousin. He was a very thoughtful person. For a terrifying man, even if Futaba was confident that he did not reveal any flaws during the time he stayed in Jishuya Spiritual Advent Tower, he still felt that the big man had definitely mastered the concept of 'foreigner'. On this premise Next, as long as he thinks about his resume for a moment, he will probably be able to see some clues.
“Okay, let’s not talk about those trivial matters for now.”
Diana breathed a sigh of relief, changed the subject a little stiffly, and said to Futaba seriously: “That’s it. Because your progress is too fast, the basics are not really reliable. Under this premise, the fields before the half-step epic are fine, but once you get involved in higher levels of power, you will most likely fail because of The basics cannot keep up with the advancement and fall into a serious bottleneck, and this kind of bottleneck is difficult for most people who advance to the high-level peak step by step."
Futaba said angrily. He flattened his mouth and said, "I think my foundation is very solid. Think about it, Diana. Not to mention basic elemental magics such as wind, fire, water, thunder, and earth. Even arcane, space, light, darkness, and negative... I also have a complete grasp of energy magic, and you have read some of my papers. Does this still mean that the foundation is not solid?”
“Of course”
Diana nodded without hesitation and said with stern eyes: "The fact that you gained nothing in Area 31 of the library today is the best proof."
Futaba's shoulders suddenly collapsed, because She really couldn't understand the epic content and couldn't find any reason to refute Diana.
“As I just said, little Futaba, your talent is so good.”
Diana sighed and looked at Futaba with some confusion: “And it’s precisely because Your talent is so great that in many places you can use unimaginable means to 'take advantage of'. It’s a bad thing, but it’s precisely because of this that when you use the same method to understand more advanced magic, you will fall into a bottleneck that most people are not qualified to fall into. Do you understand?”
< br>Futaba answered without hesitation: "I don't understand at all!"
"Well, that's why I said I'm not suitable for teaching people."
Diana lowered her head in frustration, thought carefully for a while, then raised her index finger and whispered softly: "Well, let me give you an example. , Futaba, do you know Nikachu?”
Having been in the Innocence Continent for so long, Futaba naturally won’t be unfamiliar with the kind of ordinary little beasts that are almost infested, so she pressed harder. nod.
“Then, you can understand the low-level fireball as Nikachu’s ears, the mid-level blizzard as Nikachu’s head, and the high-level arcane torrent as a complete Nikachu. And you are a highly skilled painter."
Diana clapped her hands gently and began to ask: "Then, you can take a picture of a nikachu recorded in the spell book. Can you draw its ears and head on a piece of white paper? Can you draw a complete Nikachu according to the book? ”
Futaba frowned slightly: "If I am indeed a skilled painter...of course."
"Of course, you are very good at this, but..."
" But?"
"Can you draw the skeleton of Nikaqiu? Do you know the distribution of its organs? Can you grasp its blood flow rate?"
“Clam?”
"You can't, at least you can't learn this knowledge from the Nikachu in the picture album, right?"
"I understand... So that's what happened."
"Well, that's it."
