As his body gradually recovered, Thomas began to feel a new strength surging within him. He knew that this was not only due to his physical recovery but also because of the support and encouragement of the people around him. His friends, his mentor, and even his opponents all inspired him in different ways, making him more firmly walk on the path of magic.
During an afternoon training session, Thomas stood on the training ground. The sunlight shone on him, warm and bright. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then began to cast his magic. His wand drew beautiful arcs in the air. With his incantations, magical energy converged in the air, forming a complex magic array.
"Very good, Thomas." Ms. Alison's voice rang out behind him. There was approval in her tone. "Your control is getting stronger and stronger."
Thomas turned around and replied with a smile. "Thank you, Ms. Alison. Your guidance has been of great help to me."
Ms. Alison walked up to him. There was a glint of wisdom in her eyes. "Remember, Thomas, true strength comes from within. Your magic and your beliefs are all manifestations of your inner strength."
Thomas nodded. He knew that there was profound meaning in Ms. Alison's words. He began to focus more on inner cultivation, trying to find the strength deep within himself.
In the following days, Thomas began to participate in more academy activities. He found that communicating and collaborating with his classmates made him learn many things that couldn't be learned from books. Their friendship and support made him feel an unprecedented warmth.
Jack was also always by Thomas's side. They trained together, studied together, and discussed the mysteries of magic together. Their friendship became deeper in these shared experiences.
"Thomas, you look much more energetic recently." One night, Jack said to Thomas in the dormitory.
Thomas smiled. "Yes, I feel much better. I think I'm ready to face new challenges."
Jack patted him on the shoulder. "I knew it. You can always overcome difficulties. You are a true magician."
As time passed, Thomas's reputation became louder and louder in the academy. He not only made significant progress in magic skills but also won the respect and love of his classmates because of his personality charm and leadership.
At an academy assembly, the dean personally commended Thomas's performance in the competition and his contributions to the academy. His words were full of appreciation and expectation for Thomas.
"Thomas, you are the pride of our academy." The dean said. "Your achievements and your efforts are an example for all of us to learn from."
Thomas stood on the stage. His heart was full of gratitude. He knew that his growth and success were inseparable from the dean's encouragement and support.
In the following days, Thomas began to take on more responsibilities. He not only achieved more in academics but also played an important role in the academy's management and organization. He began to guide new magic apprentices and share his experience and knowledge.
His classmates also asked him for advice one after another. They respected him and trusted him. Thomas felt a new sense of responsibility and mission. He knew that he not only had to continue to improve his magic skills but also help others grow and progress.
During a late-night study in the library, Thomas and Jack were studying an ancient magic book together. There was concentration and enthusiasm on their faces. Their hearts were full of love for magic and thirst for knowledge.
"Thomas, what kind of magicians do you think we will be in the future?" Jack suddenly asked.
Thomas looked up. There was a firm light shining in his eyes. "I don't know, Jack. But I believe that as long as we stick to our dreams and work hard unremittingly, we can become the magicians we want to be."
Jack smiled. There was also expectation for the future in his eyes. "Yes, I believe so too."
