The villa mansion is one kilometer to the east.
Although there is no green water, there are green mountains. In front of the mountain forest, there is an open space where Wayne lies on a hammock reading a book. It's a romance novel set in the Middle Ages, telling the story of the love and hatred between several women.
Wayne is practicing magic in the open space. The spells he's practicing aren't very offensive, which suits him as a beginner.
For example, the magic Wayne is practicing, known as "Mud Monster," uses earth elements from within his body to summon a lump of soft mud, which he then shapes with his mind.
It's quite simple, at least in Hefei's view, and with Wayne's talent, diligent practice will soon lead to instant casting.
Wayne claims he's good at solving problems, and while the instant casting works, the form of the Mud Monster is slightly different from what he imagined.
He can't summon a traditional Mud Monster; no matter what he tries, he can only summon a mud wall.
The damp mud wall quickly solidifies after being summoned, becoming hard and lacking the prerequisite of mind shaping.
Wayne thinks it's because he's not opening up the right way, but Hefei disagrees. The spell is a constant formula, and the answers derived from it are also fixed.
In other words, the Mud Monster can only be a lump of mud, the same for everyone, unless...
Other formulas are mixed in!
Hefei thinks Wayne's mind is not calm, too eager for success to settle down, and advises him not to always be obsessed with the charm of the older sister, but to think more about the formulas, which is the right way.
Even if I'm daydreaming, 1 plus 1 still equals 2!
Wayne feels quite wronged. Poor guy, he really wasn't daydreaming. When casting spells, his mind is clearer than anyone's.
But unfortunately...
The spells are correct, the magic power is pure, but the manifestation of the magic is wrong.
Teacher, is there a possibility that 1 plus 1 doesn't equal 2?
Wayne wisely doesn't ask, even if the whole world is wrong, and only he is right, then he is also wrong. He tries many times, until his magic is exhausted, and then he sits down cross-legged to meditate.
On the first day of meditation, he captured close to thirty elemental points;
On the second day, he adeptly used his tentacles to plunder a hundred points;
This is the third day. Because meditation not only increases magic power but also strengthens the synchronization of thought, so his number of tentacles increases, and their length becomes longer. He directly scoops up three hundred elemental points.
Wayne is not sure if his progress is outstanding enough. Just looking at the sighs of his elder sister teacher, it seems not.
This makes Wayne very anxious; his talent is too ordinary.
It is said that diligence can make up for clumsiness. He also has a very powerful teacher, and he has inherited the best meditation method passed down by the natural church. But Hefei also said that this meditation method is open to many outstanding students; he is not the only one.
Starting from the same starting line, geniuses drive sports cars while Wayne walks. No matter how diligent he is, two legs cannot beat four wheels. How can he not be anxious?
Faced with the worries of his students, the elder sister teacher, apart from silence, is still silence. What can she say? You are not walking, you are the one flying the plane?
No, what if I crash!
Hefei could only express her sympathy euphemistically and encourage Wayne to continue his efforts. Overcoming the initial difficulties, the road ahead will be smoother.
Good things are hard to come by; that's probably the meaning.
She has big breasts. Wayne decided to believe it. After all, he still feels a bit aggrieved.
Wayne believes that his talent is not bad.
Originally, he could capture more elemental points, but because of the interference of the Book of Greed, every time he captures ten elemental points, the Book of Greed deducts seven.
In the end, he, Wayne, can only get thirty percent, depending on the mood of the Book of Greed.
This is unreasonable! Coach, can we change to a golden finger?
"It's getting late. I have to go."
Hefei looked at her watch, got up from the hammock, and put away the romance novel, encouraging Wayne a few more words.
She then said, "The theoretical books I ordered for you will be delivered this evening, at the latest tomorrow morning at the villa. Read them more, and if there's anything you don't understand, circle it, and I'll answer them for you one by one when I come. If you can't wait, you can contact me by phone."
Hefei referred to theoretical knowledge, which is the basic magic learning that has not been included in the Hexagram Magic Book. Chris also said that she would personally tutor Wayne.
These courses are essential. Every magician must memorize them by rote. Not only do they need to memorize them, but they also need to understand them thoroughly. Otherwise, it will be difficult to understand advanced magical theories in the future, and the possibility of further study will be lost.
Wayne's face turned ugly, thinking of the university after nine years of compulsory education, and those dead advanced mathematics had launched a sneak attack on him again.
What's the point of sneaking up? I can't even beat them head-on!
Originally planning to take Wayne back as a student and slowly train him, Hefei changed her mind because of Wayne's magical talent. The administrative assistant by the High Priest's side was too unfair to Wayne, so she decided to train Wayne into a Guardian.
Moreover, the chaos in Lunadan far exceeded Hefei's imagination. In the short term, she couldn't spare the effort to teach Wayne. Since that's the case, it's better to keep Wayne in the villa mansion to avoid various accidents and prevent the genius from dying prematurely.
Hefei didn't say some things. She was indeed a Lunadan, but she didn't belong to the power circle of the Windsor District of the Natural Church. It's not easy to regain her former connections. This time, she might have to make a big move to take office.
Struggles for power are the same everywhere, and religion is no exception. Belief is also inevitable!
For the above reasons, Hefei didn't plan to bring Wayne back to Lunadan and cast a spell on him. Wayne's activities were restricted to a radius of fifty miles from the villa mansion. If he felt bored, he could go to the town of Ennord for a stroll, but secretly returning to Lunadan to find a girlfriend was out of the question.
Unless Wayne's magical power advances by leaps and bounds and exceeds the threshold set by Hefei.
Is there a possibility that I actually don't have a girlfriend?
Wayne pursed his lips. "Teacher, you don't need to restrict me like this. I won't return to Lunadan. In fact, I came here to escape."
"Oh, tell me about it?"
"I've attracted the attention of a big shot, someone with great power in Lunadan. Both the good and bad sides are eager to curry favor with him. I don't know why I offended him, but he wants to throw me into a concrete barrel and sink me into the river." Wayne was quite speechless; he still hasn't figured it out yet.
Hefei: "..."
This familiar way of threatening, she seems to have heard it somewhere.
"So why didn't you ask someone else for help, like a girlfriend? Her family is so rich, she should be able to help, right?"
"No use. That big shot isn't willing to give face. I'm still waiting for a call. I have to wait for him to calm down before I can return to Lunadan."
Wayne looked at Hefei eagerly. "It's been three days already. Why don't you ask for me, Teacher? At least find out who the other party is."
"Okay, that's interesting. I'll ask for you when I return to Lunadan. Remember to wait for my call."
Hefei resisted a smile; she probably guessed the cause and effect. If there were no accidents, that bastard wouldn't calm down in this lifetime.
Such a shameless person, bullying children like you?
Leave it to me!
...
Hefei left, directly by car.
The hospitality of the Lando family made Wayne feel like they were burning money. For an unfamiliar stranger, the butler directly arranged for a luxury car to be sent to Lunadan.
In order to avoid embarrassment for the lady on the journey, a maid was specially arranged as the driver. This kind of hospitality made anyone feel inferior.
In the afternoon, Wayne meditated in the garden, following the small tips taught by Hefei, meditating as close to nature as possible.
This time, he was glowing all over, with colorful lights.
Especially red, the fire element was enthusiastic, making him almost crazy with desire.
Half an hour later, Wayne stopped meditating, feeling quite good.
Happy for just a few seconds, he started shaking his head again, feeling disappointed. What's the use of glowing? The genius scholars of the Academy not only have better talents than him, but they also meditate longer than him.
A gap of three to five years, who knows when he'll catch up.
With this thought, the image of the three ships immediately became distant. Wayne knew that this was the difference between geniuses and ordinary people. He and the ships already had a thick barrier between them.
"If I can't catch up in one day, then two days. If I can't catch up during the day, then at night. They sleep while I'm still practicing..."
"I don't believe it. I'm a programmer, and I can't be beaten by them!"
After meditation, Wayne had a headache and felt dizzy. He wasn't suitable for continuing to practice, so he needed to relax and take a break.
"My mind is tired. Butler, call me a car. I want to go to town and relax."
"Okay, Master Wayne."
Don't be like this; it sounds like that person from the alley.
The car drove into the town of Ennord, but Wayne didn't get out. He leaned against the car window in the back seat, lost in thought.
The car stopped at an intersection, and the driver found that there was a traffic jam ahead. He got out to see what was going on and asked Wayne to rest in the car for a while.
A moment later, the driver returned with the reason for the traffic jam. There had been a murder case, attracting two detectives to engage in a deductive showdown, which was quite lively, and the townspeople were all watching.
One was the local detective of Ennord, and the other came from Lunadan, supposedly quite famous there.
"Are they fighting?"
Wayne was suddenly wide awake; he got out of the car and went over to join the crowd.
