Chapter 2 Magical Training
"Xue Musheng has found a treasure. He was assigned to a student with natural talent in the thunder department."

The other teachers all cast envious glances at Xue Musheng.

Many people silently wondered why such a talented student was not in their class.

After all, teaching such a student not only means witnessing the growth of a magical genius, but also means that one's status in the school may be improved.

"Okay, okay, everyone, hurry back to your classes to awaken your magic." The dean checked the time and urged.

Amidst the noisy discussions and expectations, teachers and students from other classes returned to their respective classes to continue the magic ceremony.

"Student Xu Mu, congratulations on awakening lightning magic and possessing a rare natural talent. I hope you will work hard in your practice in the future and not bury your talent."

"If you have any questions about natural talent, you can come to my office after school and ask me." The head teacher Xue Musheng said with a burning gaze and a smile on his face.

A student with natural talent in the thunder element, if he or she practices diligently, has a high probability of being admitted to a top university.

As a class teacher, he successfully trained an outstanding magic student. The honor and reward he would receive might bring him an opportunity to break through to become a mid-level wizard.

This is not a student at all; this is clearly his treasure, and he must teach her well.

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Xue."

Xu Mu suppressed his inner excitement, expressed his gratitude to Teacher Xue, and then returned to his seat under the envious gazes of everyone.

I love your system so much!
Xu Mu appeared calm on the surface but in his heart he was madly expressing his love for the system.

"Next one... Light type"

"The next one... Wind type"

The awakening ceremony is still going on, but due to Xu Mu's outstanding awakening performance, the students who awakened the light and water elements later felt even more frustrated and wanted to jump off the building even more.

……

……

"You have awakened the Lightning Element + Thunder Master and become a magician. Next, you choose..."

"Choice 1. Practice hard"

“Choice 2: Abandon your studies”

"Choose three. Fish for three days and dry the net for two days"

"As an ambitious person like me, I will definitely choose to practice hard." Xu Mu curled his lips. Please, this is a magical world. Apart from powerful creatures like demons, there are also the beasts of the Black Vatican.

Not to mention that he was born in Bo City. Three years later, a disaster broke out in Bo City. If he didn't practice hard, how could he survive when he encountered danger?
"You chose to practice hard and received a buff: double your practice"

Buff: Double the training

Duration: Two months
Buff effect: Double the daily training time

Magical skill!

After seeing the buff effect given by the system, Xu Mu slapped his thigh excitedly.

With double the practice time, he can spend more time on meditation every day.

Meditation is the first step in practicing magic.

As early as the first day of school, the head teacher Xue Musheng taught all magic students the most important lesson: magic practice.

The practice of magic is divided into three steps: meditation, control and release.

Meditation is easy to understand. It means to empty your mind in an undisturbed environment and try to enter the spiritual world without relying on the awakening stone.

The human spiritual world is a void. After the magician awakens, stardust of the corresponding system will appear in this void world.

As long as you can enter the spiritual world and see your own magic stardust, you will complete a meditation.

There is a time limit for daily meditation. If you exceed the time limit, you will enter a period of fatigue and will not be able to practice.

With the buff of doubling his practice, he could meditate for ten hours a day.

With the doubled practice efficiency given by natural talent, one day of practice is equivalent to the results of four days of practice for others.

Two months of cultivation is equivalent to eight months for others.

With his magical talent, eight months would be enough to release magic, right?
……

Time slipped away quietly in an ordinary but meaningful way, and in the blink of an eye, two whole months had passed.

During these two months, Xu Mu lived a boring life of going between two points every day.

During the day, he studied magic-related knowledge at school and occasionally interacted with Mo Fan and the others. In the afternoon, after school, he went home and meditated in his room.

"Thunder Seal - Python Mark!"

As a flash of purple-red light appeared, a deafening explosion shook the air and stirred up dust all over the sky.

Following the dust came the system panel. "You have successfully learned the first-level elementary lightning magic. What do you decide next..."

"Choice 1. Continue to practice hard"

“Option 2. Reward yourself for your hard work”

"Option 3. Hunting demons in the city"

"Choose One"

"What reward? Reward myself." Xu Mu cursed and scattered the seven stars in his hand, then stood up awkwardly from the dust.

Just when I learned how to cast magic, the system came online again, with three options, one was brain damage, and the other was seeking death.

Forget about rewarding himself, as someone who has experienced this, he said he can understand.

But I’m afraid that option three might be some serious illness?
Hunting demons?

He has just learned how to cast magic. System, are you sure that I am the one hunting the monsters, rather than the monsters hunting me in the city?

Xu Mu couldn't help but complain in his heart that the demon's vitality was very tenacious and it was difficult for level one magic to cause effective damage to it.

Even if he had triple the basic magic power, the damage of Thunder Seal - Python Mark was only slightly higher than level two magic, and was far from the power of level three magic.

If you want to kill a demon, even the weakest giant-eyed rat near Bo City, you need the damage of level three magic to kill it.

Level 2 magic... I'm afraid it can only seriously injure the monster. It's extremely difficult to kill it. If you're unlucky, you may not only seriously injure the monster, but also lose your own life.

"You chose to continue your hard training and received a buff: control efficiency"

Buff: Control efficiency

Duration: Two months
Buff effect: triple the efficiency of controlling stars

"Huh? There are actually other buffs. It seems that I underestimated the system." Xu Mu muttered a few times.

He thought the buff was to double the original training time, but he didn't expect it to be a new buff. This was something he never expected.

I have to say that although the system is a dumb system and you have to explore all its functions by yourself, the rewards given by the system are all good things.

Whether it was the previous 'double the practice' or the current 'control efficiency', they were both extremely beneficial auxiliary effects for him.

The former allows him to release magic within two months, and the latter can greatly improve his efficiency in controlling the stars.

Controlling the stars is the second step in practicing magic.

After meditation reaches a certain level, the magician will be able to control the stars.

Controlling the stars requires the mage to control the movement of the stars with his mind and make the stars obey his arrangements. This operation is very difficult.

Generally speaking, it takes two months of meditation to enhance the mage's mental strength before he can control the stars.

Only by controlling the seven stars and connecting them into a star track in a specific order can the corresponding elementary magic be released.

The more proficient you are in controlling the stars, the faster you can release magic, and vice versa.

This process requires a lot of practice.

After two months of hard training, he can now release magic every four seconds, a speed he achieved only with his natural talent.

If he didn't have natural talent, it would take him about eight seconds to cast a spell, and there was a chance that it would fail.

With the demon's speed, eight seconds is enough for the opponent to run 200 meters.

The casting speed is so slow, if you encounter a monster, won’t you have to start over again after just one encounter?

With the buff of 'Control Efficiency', he can greatly reduce the casting time in the next two months.

Allow yourself to control the stars more skillfully.

At that time, will the time it takes to release a magic spell become three seconds, two seconds or one second?
I don’t know if I can achieve the star track with just one thought with the blessing of my natural talent.

As we all know, every mage has two dreams in his heart.

One is to be a melee mage, and the other is to have the skill of instant magic.

He can't achieve the first dream, but with the help of talent, he should be able to achieve the second one, right?
"There are so many people, what are they doing?"

On the way home, Xu Mu found that a cordon had been set up in the old city, and many people wearing Hunter Alliance uniforms were maintaining order around it.

If you look closely, you can see people from the Magic Association further inside the street.

"Even people from the Magic Association are here. Could we have encountered some monster?" Xu Mu looked solemn.

People from the Magic Association would not go out easily. Once they went out, it meant that a major event had occurred, either a demon was found in the city, or traces of the Black Vatican were discovered.

None of the above is good for him.
