I lightly caressed Xiao Hei, huh? What's this? Unexpectedly, I felt what seemed to be a very large protrusion sticking out of his body. I asked Xiao Hei (using telepathy), what is this? Xiao Hei replied that he also didn't know. Furthermore, that was not the only one.
I immediately got away from Xiao Hei's embrace and carefully observed.
Sure enough, below his abdomen were five small protrusions. It seemed as if there were bones sticking out. On top of his back, between his three Blue stripes sprouted upward two sheets but they weren't very distinct. Ah, what's this? Don't tell me that Xiao Hei isn't a serpent? No, I should ask Teacher Xiu.
I continued to play around with Xiao Hei for a while. Seeing the sky quickly brighten, I had Xiao Hei withdraw.
Xiao Hei's progress is amazing. I could feel the strength of his magic power. Not only that, but Xiao Hei seems to still have outstanding changes that I still don't know about. Also, his abilities have improved accordingly, and gained a few unique abilities. As for what they are, even Xiao Hei still doesn't know. In addition, compared to his previous self, he now provides me with cultivation and I also feel a stronger, more intimate bond with him.
With the sky bright, Teacher Xiu came.
"Did you rest well yesterday, Zhang Ling?" Teacher Xiu asked softly, putting down what was in his hand.
"Well enough." Delicious, so good, I continued eating. Not taking notice of Teacher Xiu, I threw myself into the sea of food.
Striving to finish it, "Teacher Xiu, you've brought such delicious food, why aren't you saying anything?"
"Humph, you're the kind of brat that only after eating, will you be at your strongest." Teacher Xiu said with a discontent voice.
"Don't be like that. Am I not talented at learning magic?" I began to employ the spoiled child strategy. (Since I'm still a kid.)
"Fine, blow your own trumpet. Whether or not you have talent will depend on today's performance. There isn't much time, only seven days. I hope you can learn useful magic in that time. You must take this seriously. "
Seeing him speak in earnest, I dare not joke around, "Yes, Teacher."
"You haven't gone outside for quite a while. Let's go outside and have a walk on the grass."
"Yes."
How refreshing. It's been quite a while since I've had a breath of fresh air. I gave myself a large stretch and breathed deeply. Even if the sunshine outside was a bit dazzling, this feeling is truly comfortable. The teacher also hadn't disturbed me, letting me have some free time for the moment until I've calmed down.
"Very well, I am going to start teaching now. First I'm going to give you a lecture on Advanced Shadow Affinity"
"yes!"
Teacher Xiu gave me a tilted glance, "A shadow is an illusion created when the light fills the dark. shadow can neither be created nor it can create itself. Shadow has multiple theories, the most important is, Space and Time. Shadow can control time and Shadow can control Space. Simply put, A shadow can move space to space, in accordance from Time to time."
Like this, teacher Xiu started to teach Shadow affinity.
.....(a few minutes later).....
"Very well, I am going to start teaching now. First I'm going to give you a lecture on advanced magic theory. Do you know what kind of magic I use at my level?"
"Do different levels have different methods of using magic? In order to use magic, all you have to do is recite a chant. Is there anything else to it?"
Teacher Xiu gave me a tilted glance, "Observe, this is true magic." He waved his hand outwards and white rays of light came out of the palm of his hand. Like a sharp blade, they split open the huge rock in front of us. Its upper half slid to the ground.
"What? Is that really magic?! There was no chant. Just a wave of a hand could produce such a result. Teacher Xiu, how did you do that?"
"Hehe, this is the strength of a Magister. With my understanding, ordinary spells can become like this. In order to understand magic elements, you must be exceptionally thorough. Therefore, so long as you fully understand an element, it is possible. What I had just used is somewhat similar to a warrior's Dou Qi slash. In fact, magic and Dou Qi at later levels are to a certain extent quite similar. Later on, you must study well, practice well and strive to master the method to directly use the elements before you graduate from the academy. But for today what we learn will not be this. This isn't something that can be easily learned. Only after tempering yourself for a long period of time can you accomplish this. Currently, you only know a few advanced Shadow attacks and Light attacks Spells. In comparison, defense spells are more important. Wait until the competition is over. Then we will practice the method to control the elements."
"Teacher Xiu, you're so powerful! So it turns out magic can be used in such a way." I looked at him with an expression of admiration.
"Naturally, I am a magister after all! Let's not talk about these useless things. First, let's start with learning this spell…."
...
Seven days had quickly passed. Under Teacher Xiu's instruction, I truly learned no small amount, especially in regard to my control over magic. With the support of my formidable amount of magic power, I made ample progress toward my control of magic. The Black Blue sphere within my body had also stabilized somewhat.
I had asked Teacher Xiu concerning Xiao Hei's change in the body. After thinking about it for a long period of time, he then told me that he had never seen such a magic beast. It is possible that this transformation occurred because it was evolved. Regardless, there is nothing that we can do about this.
With this, I had felt relieved. So long as Xiao Hei is alive and well, I don't care what form he takes.
Within these seven days, I've received a piece of good news. Teacher Xiu said that 20 days ago, Hu Ao had been made the direct disciple of the Vice-Principal. This time we can both graduate class together at the same time. You should also know that the Vice Principal is also a magister.
Tomorrow, I'll be returning to everyone's side. When Teacher Xiu departed today, he reminded me once again to not speak of Xiao Hei's survival or of me becoming his disciple (including the Truth about the Shadow Particle's reincarnation). Teacher Xiu sure is an amusing old fellow. His educational method is unusually simple. He just gives you an explanation then lets you go think about it yourself. Or he'll just give you an incantation and let you go try out the spell yourself. He gives exceptional freedom. Not taking into account his age, he acts like my grandfather, but sometimes he also acts like a child and gets noisy like me. I discovered that I already like this amusing old fellow.
...
After entering the classroom, everyone looked towards me with astonished gazes. I didn't say anything as I went to my seat.
"Boss!" My ear heard a familiar voice.
"Hu Ao." I turned around and replied to my good friend that I haven't seen in a long time.
We fixed our eyes on each other. Afterward, we tightly embraced each other.
We spoke for a bit, he told me that, he fell in love with a girl named Chu Hua. good for him, if he does not drag me into this, but he did. the girl was standing behind us. so annoyed Hu Ao and after hearing the argument between the both of them, Chu Hua and I became friends, leaving Hu Ao not giving up on his first love, even Chu Hua was annoyed by Hu Ao.
after a few minutes...
Hu Ao whispered into my ear: "Boss, I already know about your matter. Do your best during the competition!"
"Yes. You too."
The bell rang, signaling the start of class. Everyone returned to their seats. In today's class, the end-of-term competition rules will be announced.
Tomorrow, the preliminary matches will begin. Recalling the objective Teacher Xiu gave me, I received a headache.
