"That... Miss Mengdie, since little Nia wants to learn magic, why not... let me teach her some? What do you think?"
Just as Mengdie was frowning in worry, Sasa suddenly spoke up. She walked up to Mengdie, extended her hand towards Nia, and said, "Nia, how about it? Are you interested in learning with me? Although my magic is not very mature yet, I can teach you some simple supportive spells from my wind magic, if you'd like to learn. Oh, and you can also learn divine power, but first, you need to become a nun of the Grand Church."
After finishing, she seemed to reassure Mengdie by lifting her head and smiling gently at her, "You have nothing to do before the return of the Rainbow Bird in a week, right? Why not come here and play every day? During this period, other than enjoying the flowers, I don’t have much else to do and can teach you some manageable magic."
Hearing she could learn, Nia really jumped up in excitement! She eagerly popped her head out from behind Mengdie, "Can Sister Mengdie learn too?"
"Of course, if Miss Mengdie wants to learn," Sasa replied with a smile.
"No, I think I'll pass."
Unexpectedly, Mengdie declined outright. Her refusal not only stunned Nia but also left Sasa speechless.
Magic is a very profound field of study. Although many in this world can grasp the essence of magic through various adventures, most people learn it through academies. Unfortunately, these academies are generally quite expensive, and if one is not exceptionally talented, they wouldn’t even consider enrolling them. Therefore, for ordinary civilians, the costly tuition often becomes a high wall blocking their path to magic! Now that Sasa was willing to teach directly, it was truly a godsend.
But she refused?
Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Mengdie felt helpless. She spread her hands, shrugged, and said, "Hey, don't look at me like that. Remember, to learn magic, you first need to learn the language. I still have many issues with the language, let alone reading a single word. Although the language of magic is similar to the current script, there are many variations, right? It includes many ancient characters that are headache-inducing even for regular people, let alone me? To learn magic, I must first learn the language. But I don't have much time to learn it now, and it’s impossible to master it in a short time. How can I learn magic then?"
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
This was what Xiu had told her. Initially, Mengdie had wanted to explore the differences between the magic of this world and the immortality arts of Earth, but once she heard about this seemingly ordinary prerequisite, she immediately gave up. Although there was a week of free time now, she had to spend it gathering information about the Black Flame Snake and training her body. There simply wasn’t enough time to learn the language. And in just seven days, to what extent could she learn it? Understand a magic book?
Sasa appeared somewhat lonely, but since Mengdie was unwilling, she couldn't force her. She then took Nia into the flower garden to start teaching her some basic magic knowledge and drew a simple magic circle for her to study. Meanwhile, Mengdie continued to wave her fists and feet among the flowers, training her body. It wasn’t until late at night, when Sasa's bedtime arrived, that Mengdie took Nia and left the royal garden, returning to Rand's flower shed.
"Master! Teach me, please! I beg you to teach me! I want to become stronger, even stronger!!!"
In the flower shed, Edward was still pestering Rand for swordsmanship lessons. The old man seemed a bit impatient, unable to shoo him away, and had to take him into the shed for guidance with a small shovel in hand. Xiu, meanwhile, was engrossed in a book by himself.
"Xiu, what's that?"
"Ah? This book? Haha, it was given to me by Lord Sword Sovereign. It's a magic booklet forgotten here by one of his mage comrades from back in the day. It really records many interesting and powerful spells~~~! I'm currently studying it, and once I memorize all the spells in this booklet, I think it will be a great help to our journey."
Mengdie gave an "oh" and took Nia back to the inn first. Along the way, Nia kept reciting a spell Sasa had taught her. Even after returning to the inn, she continued to recite and silently write, while also drawing the wind magic circle on paper, her face full of excitement.
Heh, it seems that everyone is working hard to improve their strength.
Mengdie sat on the edge of the bed, watching Nia's absorbed expression, feeling a bit melancholic. After reaching Luweil City, Edward's swordsmanship, Xiu's magic, and Nia's combat abilities were all improving as much as possible. In comparison, she had no training goal. The immense strength that came with her tail and ears would probably disappear the moment the transformation spell was undone, right? The Heartblood Tear on her chest still showed no signs of light, and she had no idea when its seal would be fully lifted.
Ah, strength, strength! I'm not lacking in skills, just in strength! Hehe, maybe I should go find Rand for a fight sometime. The battle during the day was too thrilling, apart from White Shadow, I've never felt such excitement!
But, that's only if Rand agrees... He's now somewhat reluctant even to teach Edward swordsmanship...
...Right, Sasa's beast summoning spell seems not bad. I might not have strength myself, but if I could have a strong, mentally connected magical beast to help before the seal is lifted... Ah, what am I thinking? Didn't Xiu say that it's impossible for humans to summon real magical beasts from his world? Being able to summon that kind of Rainbow Bird is already good enough. A real magical beast in legends can destroy a city; if one could summon such a thing, who would need an army? Moreover, I don't understand magic and don't have the ability to summon...
