Chapter 27 The Road to Dreams
There were bursts of magic spells being recited in the classroom. The students who use water to enter ice are okay. Although they may not be able to master the ideal effect well, they can still form ice. However, not many students who use wind elements to enter ice can achieve the effect of freezing. They can only form ice. It's just a chill.
Donna Boya also practiced very hard, chanting magic words in her mouth, and concentrated on getting close to the water element in the air, using magic power to change the texture of the water element into ice element, using her mind Consciousness control and changing the form of ice element condensation need to be carried out at the same time. It finally formed the effect of icy ice spikes, but it couldn't support it and broke before it could expand.
Sparic watched everyone practice continuously, and he also performed for his classmates from time to time. However, he did not need to read the magic words out loud, he only needed to recite them silently in his heart.
As a magician, there are four important difficulties to overcome until you become the final great magician. The first bottleneck is from the trainee magician to the junior magician. of advancement.
One of the most important criteria for the apprentice magician's advanced exam is the change from chanting magic words in the mouth to silently chanting in the heart. The difference between whether you are a qualified magician depends on whether you can do it without chanting magic words.
So instead of saying that magicians do not need chanting and trainee magicians need chanting, it is better to say that those who do not need chanting are magicians, and those who do need to be unqualified. However, for students who only have magic apprenticeship qualifications and are still in the apprenticeship class, they have to go to the next level if they encounter this bottleneck.
Of course, for these students around 15 years old, it does not take much time to be promoted from magic apprentice to gray robe magician (trainee). It can be as short as one or two months, and as many as three months. Can pass easily. Students in ordinary colleges can reach this level, let alone the outstanding students admitted by Kurantin.
For a magician, it takes much longer to recite magic words verbally than in the mind, and opponents and enemies can judge the magic you want to cast by reciting magic words against you, and anticipate it first. machine. Those who can overcome this difficulty before the age of 17 and chant the magic words with their hearts will become qualified blue-robed magicians (junior level). These people are regarded as people with the talent to learn magic.
Once you get over the first bottleneck and become a blue-robed magician, you will continue to pass from green-robed magician (intermediate) to yellow-robed magician (advanced). This period of time is considered This is the period when a magician grows the fastest, and there are not many difficult things to learn during this period.
After that, they were promoted from yellow-robed magicians to red-robed magicians (final level, master level). Many people stayed in this position throughout their lives. During this period, they needed to complete the transformation from thinking magic words to not needing magic words at all. The process of assistance is also the second insurmountable bottleneck in a magician's life.
Countless famous and promising young magicians were buried here, and they could not transcend this transformation that did not require magic words throughout their lives. If they can't take a step forward, even if they can cast more and more powerful magic, they can only stay at the stage of yellow-robed magicians, because they cannot reach this kind of magical realm where they can move at will.
There is no need for any magic words at all. You can freely and skillfully change the changes of elements with just your own consciousness. This is called the red robe master magician and is known as the ultimate strength of the magician. . Those who can reach this point no longer need to worry about their future. They do not need to be teachers to teach students everywhere. They do not need to work in the Magic Guild or other places to make a living for themselves. Of course, teaching in Kurantin is another way. Something happened.
Those who can become red-robed magicians will be able to enjoy the special treatment of the empire and receive lifelong benefits from the magic union. Even if you are not in the empire or not working in the magic union, these wonderful benefits will last for life. Following you. Therefore, in the eyes of the magician, the gap between the yellow robe and the red robe is not just one step, but the two ends of heaven and hell.
Red-robed magicians, there are countless magicians who can reach this stage. For one of the largest empires on the continent like Mo Yue, a large country with a population of 3.7 billion, there are only There are more than one million registered red-robed magicians.
In fact, many magicians can achieve a position in the last few years or more than ten years of their lives, but the rewards they can get are very few, and the time they have left is not enough for them to continue on the path of their ideal life. further. Therefore, anyone who can obtain the honor of being a red-robed magician before the age of 40 is regarded as a genius among magicians.
And the Dark Archmage: Night Sparik is one of such talents in the Empire. No wonder he could say something like, 'It's your honor for me to teach you' before the class started.
Now, what Sbarik has to do is to go further on the path of his dark magic ideals, break through the third bottleneck, and become a qualitative transformation from a magician to a wizard. people. Only those who can achieve the strength of a red-robed magician before the age of 40 are considered likely to reach the next step. There are only a handful of such people in the empire, very few. Of course, becoming a great mage is the ultimate dream of magicians...
The students are all working hard for their goals and ideals in life. Hei Ye Sbarik walked up to Bing Zhixie and said, "As an outstanding student with high hopes from the school, I will definitely be able to complete this magic easily."
Bing Zhixie has been sitting in his seat and watching. Others are doing magic tricks, and suddenly I see a teacher coming to test me and I don’t know what to do.
Sparik clapped his hands and shouted: "Students, please calm down, everyone. This student is a new student in our college. Since he is a new student, we will give the new student a way to express himself and let everyone know him." Let him perform this magic when he has the opportunity.”
The students in the class stopped their own trials and looked at him one by one. Bing Zhixie really couldn't understand why the teacher had to target him. Could it be that he was angry because he didn't succeed in reading his mind just now?
Seeing that Bing Zhixie did not make any moves, Sibalik said: "Oh, he may be very shy. New students are all like this, aren't they? Give him some applause and encouragement, even if he fails. It doesn't matter."
The students all applauded, and some boys even shouted "Come on."
Bing Zhixie thought to himself that he knew that he was considered a better student by the college. Could it be that he wanted to prove whether he had the strength to be considered an outstanding student by the college? Bing Zhixie had never read a book and had gone to college. She was worried that she would be expelled if she didn't perform well, so she had no choice but to perform her magic at the teacher's request.
Sbarik was surprised to see him raise his index finger, not knowing what he was going to do. Unexpectedly, a bright spot appeared on his fingertips, and then slowly bloomed like a flower, turning into a small ice flower.
“Oh! It’s so beautiful.” Boya next to her exclaimed, and then something even more surprising happened to her.
The blooming of the small ice flowers on the fingertips did not stop because of this, but kept blooming one after another, just like the life in the flower garden, constantly blooming. It bloomed and soon danced in the air like a long snake.
Sbarik was surprised by his ability to cast magic easily, and even more surprised to find that he did not recite the magic words of auxiliary magic in his mouth, which shows that he is no longer just a magic apprentice and a gray-robed magician. Strength, but has become a qualified magician.
There are students in the academy who can achieve this level of strength at his age. He knows that he had such a genius-like talent back then. He can finally conclude that the academy's vision is correct. This boy is indeed an outstanding student. magical genius.
Bing Zhixie stopped the magic transformation and asked the teacher: "Is it okay?"
Sbarik recovered from his surprise: "Ah, it's okay."
As soon as Bing Zhixie's magic power was released, the long 'ice snake' suddenly turned into icy cold air and dispersed, making the students shiver even in the summer.
Bo Ya, who was next to her, was the coldest, but she couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's... it's dry ice!"
There are not many people in this class who can form dry ice, let alone such a dazzling ice magic.
Sbarik suddenly said very seriously: "I take back what I said before! I think you should apply for the junior magician exam within a week. Staying here is really a waste of your precious time."
The students all looked at Bing Zhixie in surprise. "Bartholome III? The successor of Sankule? Or the second Chen Wasileb!!" A classmate said these shocking names, although he used the name of one of the best wizards in the world. It seemed a bit ridiculous to describe Bing Zhixie, but they were all shocked by the teacher's evaluation of him and his genius.
"No." Sbarik's deep voice said slowly: "Even though he is a genius, even though he has extraordinary talent, becoming a true magician does not just require It can be achieved by geniuses! I have seen countless people who are better than me. They are all our classmates. No matter how good they are, few can continue on this path. Can a talent achieve success? Many famous magicians were called geniuses by ignorant people only after they achieved great things! He was ridiculed as a fool and an idiot, but no one could have imagined that he would become the first magician in the space magic department in the future!"
The students were shocked by the teacher's voice.
"Ah, yes, even though the so-called geniuses will now be shrouded in countless haloes, the pressure of these haloes will make more geniuses die prematurely!" Sbarik looked at Bing Zhixie with an extremely contemptuous look. : "I don't know when I was also called a genius, but my current achievements are definitely not given by the word 'genius'! All the students here, you may all become as great as Darren Pei in the future. Magicians, this requires your own efforts to prove it. Everyone comes with their own dreams, and these dreams will not change because of genius. Boys, how far you can go depends on you!”
The faces of the students are all changed. Overflowing with joyful smiles, they all seemed to see the path leading to their dreams. The shadows left by the halo of genius just now were swept away in a few words from the teacher. At this moment, their hearts were empty. Bing Zhixie, without Bimoye, without all those geniuses!
