"Oh la la la la la la la la la la!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The Elves stomped on the ground together, using their greatest strength to yell and cheer, their weapons swinging joyfully in the air. Only by doing so could they express their exuberant emotions and show their intense admiration for the one who could always achieve the impossible.
The bird-shaped fire magic bullets were still striking the light curtain, but it was clear to everyone that this was nothing more than a futile and meaningless waste of effort. Welt didn't have a saying like "a moth flying into a flame," but at the moment, the flames wrapping around Li Lin and the moths in the ancient saying that burned themselves by flying into a flame seemed indistinguishable.
As a physical phenomenon called "fire," it is defined as "the release of light and heat during the oxidation reaction between combustibles and accelerants," one of its core features being "high-temperature plasma." No matter how one changes its shape, or makes it appear like a bird fluttering its wings in the air, the underlying foundation is always slow and light particles. Colliding with the special aurora made of charged high-energy particles, they can only be shattered.
The last fire magic bullet also failed to cause even a ripple on the splendid rainbow, and the rock pillar that lost its foundation amid the dodging process finally collapsed under its own immense mass, its disjointed fragments cracking and finally toppling over with a loud rumble.
The nano-mechanical iron wings churned the air, the dust that obscured vision and lowered air quality was dispersed by the majestic wind, and the elegantly curved toes touched the ground without making a sound or stirring up any dust. The gaze of the boy with a playful smile was looking down at the two magicians who had ceased moving. One was panting and clenching his fists, while the edge of the other's still grey robe was trembling slightly.
Fear and excitement have very similar physiological manifestations, both strong emotions can cause high blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, pore contraction, rapid breathing... and other clinical reactions. It is difficult to determine the circumstances and psychological activities the person is experiencing based on these simple data alone, so they cannot be used as effective reference data.
From a biological perspective, the only difference between the two extreme emotions is whether the body is secreting adrenaline or noradrenaline (Note 2).
The middle-aged man's twitching lips and flushed face certainly did not look like the former.
What on earth was this old man excited about at this time and in this situation...
All sorts of inappropriate speculations began to flicker in the Elves' imaginations, among them twisted fantasies involving "tops," "bottoms," "forbidden," "illicit," and other words not easily accessible to those under 18. No doubt it was Freya's imagination, full of blooming roses and embellishments...
She really should create a fanzine or something...
Sade, whose curiosity was burning fiercely, was unaware of the Elves' derogatory comments about him. Even if he knew, he would scoff at their conjectures.
How can the noble, great, and pure curiosity be conflated with the lowly, dirty, and lewd desires for sex?
Sade's views undoubtedly aligned highly with those of the general public as well as moral and ethical principles. However, both sexual desire and curiosity are fundamental desires of intelligent life forms. Is it proper to treat them differently just because of vague morality? At least Li Lin believed that it was not scientific at all to admire those who pursued knowledge passionately while despising men and women whose sexual desires were blazing like firewood. Additionally, how would the morally superior Sade explain to children who flipped through adult secret books in order to learn more about physiology?
"It's truly incredible... no, a young man who's indescribably wonderful,"
The man on the threshold of old age let out a hair-raising laugh, causing the solemn battlefield atmosphere to tense up. The head that was bowed to the ground suddenly snapped up as the abrupt laugh stopped, the previously stiff expression and authoritative demeanor now distorted by unconcealed greed, leaving only an unpleasant, lewd aftertaste.
"I want... I want... I want so bad..."
The heavy, indecent voice that disregards morality and others' gazes crawls onto the young elves' skin like a repulsive slug carried by the wind, leaving an extremely disgusting touch behind.
"Become a possession of mine, young man!"
The full-of-determination roar, like a caged beast breaking free, escapes Sade's lips, his blue eyes boiling with confidence in achieving his goal, as well as a stubborn possessiveness.
The sun is over head, as it always is at this time of day, and a black bird, like a crow, skims over piles of clouds, flying over the land with a broken gong sound, and a chill spring breeze, carrying a few fallen leaves, brushes past the surroundings.
Young elves - only the male ones - feel their buttock muscles start spasming in unnaturally timed reflexes, much like helpless daisies in the wild shivering in the cold wind.
What an excruciatingly shocking confession(?) that tightens and aches the lower body...
"Magician, speaking such absurdly lustful words, are you prepared to die wailing like a pig?"
The warning devoid of warmth injects a malicious aroma into the air; the youth's cold words are like a dagger coming out of its sheath and pressing against the throat, the weight of the real metal and its sharpness scraping the skin of the magician's throat as he swallows.

Nidhogg: Uh... My master, Li Lin, was actually confessed to by an old man... I am so desperate! I despair at this world that goes to join the FFF Group and the Philosophy Group and is enthusiastic about stirring gay scenes!
Li Lin: Do you want me to help you go to heaven? I've been practicing the [Delusion Terminator Fist], haven't tested it yet?
Nidhogg: Uh... let's start with the explanation. What's the deal with the two-part chant and the definition spell?
Li Lin: Hmm, as everyone knows, Welt's magic is a special phenomenon produced by the [correct imagination], but just manifesting various phenomena is only the first step. For example, Sade's chant this time, first is the [Wings of Flame], which uses mana to shape flames into the form of a bird. However, once shaped, the flame itself doesn't automatically initiate an attack. To attack the opponent, a [path] that sets the attack mode must be added, and this path is the definition spell, like the [Magic Bullet], which adds a homing definition spell to various phenomena such as [Fireball], [Ice Arrow], [Wind Blade], and others. That kind of spell is simply against the rules, almost the same as using an active radar-guided and inertial guidance system with a "launch and forget" air-to-air missile.
Nidhogg: That's amazing! So what's the difference between adrenaline and noradrenaline?
Li Lin: Adrenaline is a hormone secreted by the human body. When a person experiences certain stimuli (such as excitement, fear, nervousness, etc.), this chemical substance is secreted, allowing the person to breathe faster (providing more oxygen), accelerate heart rate and blood flow, dilate pupils, provide more energy for body activities, and make reactions faster. There are often anecdotes of people showing unimaginable strength in a fire to save themselves or others, and adrenaline plays a crucial role in this. Noradrenaline is secreted by the sympathetic nerve endings, with functions that promote biological activities other than digestion. Its functions are similar to adrenaline, but somewhat different. In clinical medicine, adrenaline is a cardiotonic drug, while noradrenaline raises blood pressure and can also treat depression.
Nidhogg: Thank you for the explanation!
