Magical Cat

In the blink of an eye, a fine layer of sweat appeared on Elaine's forehead.

Anyone else would have given up on casting the spell at this point, letting the elements run wild. After all, Melina, as their teacher, would be there to protect them; it would just be a waste of their magic.

But Elaine was stubborn; she wanted to do everything she could to bring the elements back from the brink of spiraling out of control.

She has always been used to giving it her all.

She didn't have many gains and losses to calculate; she could only do her best to seize every opportunity.

But the elements did not obey Elaine's efforts.

As the shape of the elemental sphere became increasingly distorted, Li En immediately wrapped his tail around Li Lian's neck.

Although he didn't understand the principles of spellcasting, he still wanted to help Elaine.

Because of the skill of magic perception, Li En is constantly in a state of recovering magic power.

Although he had only regained a small amount of magical power, he still hoped to help Elaine as much as he could.

Within Li En's body, the vibrant magical power flowed back into Elaine's body.

No one had taught Li En this, but Li En simply did the opposite of what Elaine usually did when she provided him with magic.

At first, he was a little unaccustomed to it.

After all, they have changed from being the demander to the provider.

But he quickly mastered the balance, allowing himself to transfer almost no magic power with the help of his magic perception, simply by transferring the magic power he drew from the air to Elaine.

The twisted and deformed elemental sphere in Elaine's hand suddenly expanded, but its shape also became much rounder.

Elaine felt her magic suddenly become more active, and her control over the elements also improved significantly.

"What's going on?"

She looked down and saw that Li En's tail was wrapped around her neck.

Magic was being injected into him from his tail; the amount was small, but it was continuous.

This is equivalent to Li En sharing his mana regeneration passive with Elaine.

And it's not just about mana regeneration...

Elaine herself possessed fire-attribute magic, but after being infused with Li En's wood-attribute magic, she immediately received a comprehensive enhancement.

The previously uncontrollable elements had calmed down. Under the watchful eyes of Elaine and Li En, the sphere of fire elemental energy expanded to the size of a volleyball before abruptly stabilizing.

Elaine felt a surge of energy, realizing that she no longer needed to inject magic.

This proves that the magic was successfully cast!

"teacher……"

Just as Elaine was about to report, Melina appeared beside her without her noticing.

Elaine and Li En were focused on watching the changes in the elemental spheres, so they didn't notice Melina's approach.

"Very good, Elaine." Melina affirmed first, then pointed ahead and said, "Go ahead and practice shooting."

Elaine nodded emphatically, then carefully carried the successfully cast elemental orb forward.

At this point, seven or eight people were already trying to shoot at the target, but the elemental spheres they fired all dissipated within two meters.

Obviously, hitting the target is also a difficult task.

As Elaine carried the elemental ball to the target position, the entire class fell silent for a moment, followed by hushed whispers.

"Are you kidding me? What gives her the right?"

"Wave and the others had wands to help them, so why did that brat manage to cast the spell successfully?"

"Ms. Melina is so good to her, maybe she gave her some extra help beforehand?"

"That kind of bitch..."

Elaine's initial joy and excitement were quickly dampened, and her face immediately returned to its usual indifferent expression.

Li En glared, staring angrily in the direction from which the sounds came.

"A bunch of idiots, all they do is make excuses for their incompetence!"

Li En let out a fierce meow and hissed repeatedly.

"Silence! Pay attention to classroom discipline!" Melina said coldly.

But she didn't have much of a way to deal with these malicious words directed at Elaine.

In this world, nobles who wield absolute power can do whatever they want to commoners.

If Elaine hadn't also been a student at the Royal Academy of Magic, she would have fared even worse in the face of such malice.

The students who had been gossiping immediately lowered their heads and continued trying to cast spells.

Elaine composed herself, went to the target position, focused her mind on the magic target ten meters in front of her, and then launched the elemental ball.

The elemental ball flew straight ahead, but it started to extinguish after only two meters and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Elaine swayed, feeling a significant drain on her mental energy, and her head throbbed with pain.

But the pain came on quickly and went away quickly; she recovered in no time.

For magicians, headaches caused by mental strain are common.

This is one of the reasons why the world no longer begins training magicians at a younger age.

The training of magicians places strict requirements on brain development.

Even the most talented person, if they start training as a magician too early, may ruin their brain and become an ignorant and useless person.

Therefore, most people begin their magic training at the age of sixteen.

The minimum age requirement for admission to the Royal Magic Academy is also sixteen.

Of course, there are various training methods beforehand to lay a more solid foundation for future magical cultivation.

However, one must be sixteen years old or older to ensure that the brain is fully developed and adapted to the ubiquitous elements in this world.

Without these restrictions, the Royal Magic Academy probably wouldn't have accepted a commoner like Elaine as a student sponsored by the government.

After all, by then, whether or not one can become a magician will depend entirely on their reincarnation.

Elaine exhaled a breath of stale air and immediately sat down to meditate.

The previous failed spells had already depleted a lot of her magic power. Her attempt to shoot at the target just now made her realize that this matter couldn't be rushed, and she planned to recover to her best condition first.

Li En, on the other hand, maintained a constant flow of magical energy.

Previously, Elaine's meditations were all for supplying magic to Li En; this is the first time that Li En has been continuously supplied with magic during Elaine's meditations.

Elaine, as the person involved, immediately noticed the difference.

This was even more comfortable than when I meditated before, and my magic recovery was much faster.

Elaine hadn't been able to be sure before, but with Melina's assessment of Lee En after her examination, and considering the current abnormality, she was now absolutely certain that it was all Lee En's doing.

"Wow, he's that amazing."

While Elaine was happy, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious, fearing that someone might take Lee En away from her in the future.

She couldn't help but ask herself, could she really protect Li En when she was so weak?

Meow~

Elaine awoke from her meditation with a start, only to find that she had long since fully recovered.

She turned her head and saw Li En looking at her with her head tilted, her big eyes full of confusion.

This eye contact eased Elaine's worries considerably, bringing a smile to her face.

"It's nothing, let's continue!"

After saying that, Elaine stood up from the ground and cast the Elemental Ball again.

After succeeding once, Elaine felt that casting spells was much easier.

Little did she know, Li En had been constantly observing her spellcasting.

This time, as Elaine cast her spell, Li En quietly followed Elaine's spellcasting rhythm, changing the frequency of his own magical energy transmission, and visualizing the process of the elemental sphere condensing and taking shape in his mind.

Elaine found the second use of the Elemental Ball to be exceptionally smooth.

Not far away, Melina nodded quietly.

But at the same time, a pair of envious eyes shot towards them from the other target position.

Webber gripped his wand tightly, gritted his teeth, and his expression gradually twisted.

"How could this happen?"

"Why is she able to cast spells faster with her bare hands than I can with a wand?"

"Why? Why?!"
