Hyperdimensional game! The ultimate aesthetics of violent wizards

"Of course it's different. Doing whatever you want is just your subjective freedom, or an extension of personal desire. And not having to do something you don't want to do is the inevitable result of freedom in objective consciousness. Your will is not forced by anyone. That is, as long as you don't want to do something, no one and nothing can force you to do it. This is true freedom."

"I don't understand." Irena shook her head dazedly.

"That's right, this topic is indeed too profound for children."

"What? You are obviously just a child. Let me reiterate it again! I am older than you! From now on, you can't call me by my name directly, you have to call me sister." Irena explained to Rhine again.

"No, you're only three months older than me." Rhine refused again without thinking.

"Three months is still older than you, so just call me sister. As long as you call me sister, I will give you my favorite chicken stewed with mushrooms, which I didn't even give to my dad." Irena shook Rhine's arm and said coquettishly.

"No, I just said I want to be a free person, no one can force me to do something I don't want to do, you are asking me to slap myself in the face, don't think I don't know that the food you hate the most is mushrooms!" Rhine said mercilessly. After all, every time when eating, Irena would pick out mushrooms separately, and even a fool would know that she hated eating mushrooms.

"Tsk." Irena turned her head away unwillingly.

"It's okay to call you sister, but you have to help me do something."

"What's the matter? Tell me." Children are children. They always compete for no apparent reason, even arguing about how my dad dares to eat shit. As soon as Irene heard that there was a play, she immediately became excited! It seemed that she was very persistent in getting Rhine to call her sister.

"That's it..." Rhine said in Irena's ear.

"That's easy, leave it to me!" Irena said, patting her chest.

The next morning, the uncle borrowed a carriage from the village chief and planned to take the two children to the Magic Integration Association in town. The reason was that Irena had told her parents last night that she wanted to become a witch as soon as possible, so she wanted to start learning magic right away. So the uncle, who was obsessed with his daughter, decided to take Irena to town to buy some basic magic textbooks and visit the Magic Integration Association the next day to fulfill his daughter's wish. As Rhine's guardian, he naturally couldn't leave his nephew at home when he took his daughter out to play, so Rhine's goal was achieved without him having to show up.

"Rhine, go and see if Irena is okay. We have to come back before dark." said the uncle who was feeding the horses in the yard.

"Okay!" The weather today was exceptionally sunny, so Rhine was full of energy.

"Irena! Hurry up, we're waiting for you." Rhine stood at the stairs and shouted towards the second floor.

"I'll be there soon. Also, did you forget something, little Lai Yin?"

"Sister...sister...sister! Hurry up!" After saying that, Rhine ran out with a blushing face, his whole body covered with goose bumps. He couldn't stand it, he really couldn't stand it. At this moment, he really wanted to die. It felt more terrifying than going to Haidilao alone to celebrate his birthday. However, for the sake of his future freedom, he decided to put up with himself for the time being. Isn't it just calling someone who is old enough to be his daughter sister? What's so rare about it! A man who can bend and stretch is a real man.

"Ahahaha, here I come." For some reason, Irena felt a sense of accomplishment in bullying this "old-fashioned" cousin. The reason why she didn't talk to Rhine much in the past half month was because she felt that he was arrogant. He was obviously a child but always pretended to be an adult, as if he thought he was very great.

On the way to Hans Town, two children in the carriage were staring at each other.

"Let me make it clear first, I don't admit that you are my sister!" Rhine took the lead in breaking the deadlock and spoke.

"Oh, really? (*^ω^*)" Irena showed an innocent and bright smile. "Dad, I'm feeling a little unwell, how about we..."

"Sister Jie, sister Jie, sister Jie, sister, why are you asking such questions? I was just joking with you. You are the best sister in the world and you are the best to me." Rhine interrupted quickly.

"What's wrong, Irena? Are you feeling unwell?" asked her uncle who was sitting in the driver's seat of the carriage.

"It's okay, it's just a little stuffy. I'll just open the window." After saying that, he winked at Rhine proudly.

Looking at the delicate and cute little face in front of him, which looked like a porcelain doll, and the smug attitude of a winner, Rhine really wanted to give him a Muay Thai warning. However, for the sake of his future freedom, he endured it. If he argued with a child, he would have already lost.

When they arrived in town, the uncle first parked the carriage, then took the two of them to the market and bought them a lot of delicious snacks. Then he went to the bookstore and bought a few books on the basics of magic, such as "Magic: From Beginners to Burial", "Witch Advanced Guide", "Apprentice Witch Exam Outline", etc.

Originally, his uncle wanted to buy him a copy, but he refused. It wasn't that he was embarrassed to ask for it, but he had memorized these basic knowledge by heart when he was in the Duke's Mansion. If he didn't even understand the magic system of this world, how could he create magic by himself?

Although he was rejected, in order to show his fair attitude, his uncle asked Rhine to choose a few books as a gift. You have to know that in this world that is still at the level of the Middle Ages, books are very expensive commodities. Although Rhine tried to refuse, he had to choose "Adventurer's Guide", "Labyrinths and Secret Realms", "Penesia Continent Travel Guide" and "World Geography Encyclopedia" which were not in his father's study.

The reason why they were not collected was not because they were too rare but because they were too common. Books that were everywhere were not worth collecting. The books that could be collected by the Duke's family were either out of print or rare editions, or some banned books that recorded unknown and undisclosed historical events, as well as some extremely precious magic books, sword manuals, martial arts manuals, etc. This led to Rhine being extremely lacking in some common sense about the world even though he was surrounded by a sea of ​​books. Originally, this knowledge would have been taught by their private teacher when he was older, but who would have thought that he would run away.

After buying the book, it was finally time for the part he was looking forward to the most, visiting the Magic Unification Association! This is the largest magician organization in the world. It can be said that one out of every two witches comes from the Magic Unification Association. The most important thing is that the Magic Unification Association is also responsible for all upgrade assessments below the witches. Whether it is to become a magic apprentice, a magician, or a wizard/apprentice witch, every promotion must be approved by the association.

Irena: "Dad, we are in the right place..."

Uncle: "No... I even asked my friend, and he said there is only one Magic Association station in this town."

Rhine: "Is this the Magical Unification Association???"

The three of them looked at the dilapidated house with moss-covered outer walls in front of them and didn't know what to say for a moment. If there weren't big words of the Magical Integration Association hanging on the roof, Rhine would have thought they had arrived at a scrap collection station.

"Excuse me, is anyone here?" Since he was already here, he had to go in, so my uncle knocked gently on the shabby wooden door. He was afraid that if he knocked harder, the door would fall down.

"Who is it? Coming, coming." The person who opened the door was a girl with short green hair and glasses, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Hmm? So a trainee witch can be this good?" Rhine wiped his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong. It's not that he had never seen a trainee witch before, but he had never seen a trainee witch like this. At least the trainee witches he met in the Duke's Mansion, their intelligence and mental attributes all started at 300, and none of them had a magic power lower than 3,000.

Not to mention the witch, the three weak attributes of strength, agility and physique can reach 200 to 300, and the spirit and intelligence attributes have reached more than 1500! The magic power has also exceeded the astonishing five digits. This is truly a humanoid strategic weapon that can destroy a city and a country.

But it seems normal to think about it, because his witches are positioned as armed magic forces, a special force composed of magicians. Whether it is an apprentice witch or a witch, they must go through strict screening and training, and those who are selected are basically the elites of the same level of witches. Comparing ordinary witches with his elite witches is like comparing ordinary people with special forces from the army. Whether it is the magic formulas mastered, their own attributes, or practical skills, they are in a crushing position. You can't expect an ordinary person to have the qualities of a special force soldier, right?

Chapter 8 Magical Enlightenment

"Um, what can I do for you?" the girl with glasses asked timidly. She didn't seem to communicate with others much normally.

"It's like this, my child wants to be a witch when she grows up, so I want to bring her to visit the Magic Integration Association to learn about the relevant situation. Is it convenient now?" The uncle went straight to the point and stated the purpose of this trip. Rhine said that he liked people with straightforward personalities.

"Convenient, convenient, convenient... Come in and talk first." The girl nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and it was obvious that she was quite excited to have someone come to her house.

"Sorry for bothering you. Well, why don't you two thank your sister quickly?" said the uncle, rubbing the two children's hair with his left and right hands respectively.

"Thank you, sister." x2

"No, no, just sit down first, I'll go get you some water."

What surprised Rhine was that although the cottage looked a bit shabby from the outside, the furnishings inside the house were quite neat and simple. All the furniture and decorations were arranged in an orderly manner, giving people a feeling of simplicity and comfort.

"My name is Vivi Veronica, and I'm the person in charge of the Magic Integration Association's base in Hans Town, Roberta Country. I'm very glad that you can visit the association today. After all, there have been few visitors in the six months since I was assigned here." The girl named Vivi introduced herself and brought the juice to the three people.

"Why is there no one here? Logically, there are quite a few people with magical talent." Rhine asked curiously. Because the magic in this world has special treatment for women. Basically, any woman can become a magician, and as long as she works hard, she can become an apprentice witch. Only the top witches need a little talent.

"Little brother, this question hits the nail on the head."

"Although there are indeed many people who have the talent for magic, there are only a few who can learn magic."

"For ordinary families, the cost of learning magic is too high. Just the entry-level magic set (magic book, wand, and broom) is not affordable for ordinary families. It's a little better in big cities, where there are relatively more people learning magic, but in small places like Hans Town, there are not many people who can afford to learn magic." Weiwei explained.

"Oh wow, so my uncle's family is quite rich. He bought several magic books for Irena." Rhine thought to himself.

"Don't worry, Irena. Dad saved some money when he traveled in the past. Although it's not a lot, he still has enough money to support his daughter in realizing her dream." As if he was afraid that Irena would worry, the uncle said quickly.

"Oh, look at my poor memory. I almost forgot to introduce them to Miss Weiwei. This little girl is my daughter Irena, and this little boy is my nephew Rhine."

"Nice to meet you. Let me guess, does this lovely little girl Irena want to become a witch?" Vivi carefully looked at the delicate and cute little girl in front of her who was as delicate as a doll.

"What a shame! Am I not cute?" Rhine protested strongly after being ignored. Although there are not many boys who can be mages, we can't just ignore him.

"Yeah! I want to be a witch like Nicole and travel to various places." Irena once again said her famous words.

"A witch like Nicole? That's a really ambitious goal." Vivi smiled and touched Irena's head, not telling her that this was quite a difficult task.

Rhine also expressed deep agreement with this, saying that there is still a long way to go in the future. For some talented women, becoming a witch is not a particularly difficult thing, but it is almost impossible to become a legendary witch like Nicole. A legendary witch is a super strong person standing at the top of the magician profession and the top of the world. Her name is well-known in the witch circle, and her book "Nicole's Adventures" is widely circulated in the continent of Penicia and is one of the most popular published books at the moment. It's just that I don't know why Nicole disappeared five years ago, and no one has seen her since then.

"Well, what are the requirements to become a magic apprentice?" Rhine interrupted impatiently. This was the main point of his coming here today.

"Oh, it seems that little Rhine is also very interested in magic. But for boys, becoming a warrior or a swordsman is more popular among girls." Vivi teased.

It's a joke, but it doesn't really matter, because more than 90% of boys in this world are physical school, and the remaining 10% are magic school, and they are all children of nobles. The reason is simple, just like in ancient times, unless the family is well-off, girls would not be allowed to study. One is that they can't afford it, and the other is that they think it's useless. The purpose of studying is to become an official, but in the society at that time, there were few women who became officials... not to say that there were no women, but they were really rare. Similarly, boys in this world learning magic is equivalent to girls studying in ancient times. One is that they can't afford it, and the other is that it's useless. After all, men's magic qualifications are really too poor. The most powerful is just a wizard, and there are wizards of this level everywhere. It's better to choose physical professions such as warriors, knights, warriors, swordsmen, etc. that are highly compatible with boys.

"I'm just asking casually." Do you think he doesn't want to be a swordsman? He wants to be a swordsman too!

The sword rises and flies thousands of miles, and the sound of wind and thunder chases the rain. The sword energy spans 30,000 miles, and the cold light of the sword shines on the nine continents. This is so cool! Which boy has not dreamed of being a swordsman who travels the world with a sword? In addition, his name just happens to be the same as that of a famous red-haired swordsman. It would be a pity not to practice swordsmanship. What if the name adds value? The most important thing is that he also wants to say "If I, Reinhard, were not born, the sword path would be as dark as ever."

If the initial gift package was not a magic weapon for the mage, and if he was not born in an aristocratic family, he would add points to the warrior direction. However, due to the interference of various factors, he had to give up his "dream". After all, no matter how handsome he was, it was not as important as his own life. What was the point of being handsome if his life was gone. In order to maximize the benefits of the protection attached to this artifact, he could only add points to intelligence. He wanted to be a violent mage who added points to magic power because he was afraid of not being able to kill people. As for strength, constitution, and agility, he would not add any points, because strength can be replaced by mental strength, constitution (health bar) can be replaced by blue bar, and agility can be replaced by teleportation skills in the future.

"Each of us is born with a small amount of magic power in our body, which is usually hidden in our body. The first thing to do if you want to become a wizard is to be able to sense the magic power hidden in your body. Everyone's innate magic power reserves are different. The more initial magic power, the easier it is to be sensed, which also means that the person's magical aptitude is better. Because women's initial magic power value is much greater than men, this is also the fundamental reason why women's magical aptitude is better than men." Weiwei explained.

"According to a study by a scholar from the Magic Association, the initial magic value of men is generally around 5-25 points. Even sages who have reached the witch realm only have an initial magic value of 25 points, while the initial magic value of women is around 21-40 points. Generally speaking, if you want to become a witch, your initial magic value cannot be lower than 25 points. The initial magic value of a legendary witch like Nicole has reached the standard. This is why boys are not recommended to learn magic." Weiwei was afraid that Rhine didn't understand what she meant, so she added some explanation.

Rhine really wanted to tell her why she was so slow. I’m a warrior and a mage, how could I be short of mana?

"So how do we do it specifically? I mean, how can we sense the initial magic power in our body?" Rhine asked politely.

Although he had mastered some more complex magic knowledge, he really didn't know about this kind of common sense basic questions. Because his father's study room didn't have any books of this kind, just like the study room usually didn't collect early childhood education books such as arithmetic addition and subtraction and multiplication formulas. Not only was it not worth collecting, but it was also too cheap. Moreover, his family directly hired witches to teach magic, after all, their family didn't lack witches.

"It's simple, just concentrate and take deep breaths." Weiwei replied.

"Concentrate and take deep breaths??? Full concentration breathing method??? I'm not here to learn how to be a wizard, I'm here to learn how to be a member of the Demon Slayer Corps?" Rhine complained in his mind.

Looking at the shocked Rhine, Weiwei couldn't help but smile and said, "Unlike other races such as elves and demons, humans have too little initial magic power in their bodies, so they must be activated with external forces. The method of deep breathing can allow the magic power in the air to fully integrate into our bodies along with oxygen, speeding up the circulation of magic power in the blood. When you can feel a hint of warmth in your lower abdomen, it means that the magic power in your body has been activated."

"Noble children usually receive magic enlightenment education when they are 6-8 years old, because only when their bodies develop to that age will they have enough magic power in their bodies to be sensed by others. So it is too early for you two to become wizards."

"And then what?" Rhine asked excitedly. He felt that he was "burning" as he listened and followed. He could feel a little warmth in his lower abdomen, just like a heat pad. It turned out that the efficiency of self-study will never be as high as the efficiency of the teacher's hand-in-hand teaching. It's true that listening to your words is better than reading for ten years.

Seeing the enthusiastic response from Rhine, Weiwei was also very happy that her explanation was so popular. "First of all, we must know that the initial magic power in our body can be controlled by human consciousness, because this magic power itself is a part of our body. However, we cannot interfere with the magic power in nature, because it is not the same magic power as the magic power in our body. So what we need to do is to use the controllable magic power in our body to control the uncontrollable magic power in nature. The essence of magic is the combination of magic power in nature and various elements."

"Then teacher, how can we control the magic in nature?" Although this apprentice witch was lame, Rhine called her teacher from the bottom of her heart. This day would also become the most glorious moment in her life. She was the enlightenment teacher of the future god of magic, and she could be proud of it for the rest of her life.

After being called teacher, Weiwei really enjoyed it and patiently explained to Rhine: "This is why a wizard must have a wand to cast spells."

"To be specific, the magic wand acts as a catalyst to synchronize the magic power in the body with the magic power in nature, so that the magic power of two different systems can become the same magic power after being transformed by the magic wand."

"Is this wand a rectifier?"

"I understand. To sum it up, mages cannot directly manipulate the magic in nature, but they can manipulate the magic in our bodies. And the magic in our bodies will become magic with the same properties as in nature after being transformed by the magic wand. In this way, we can indirectly manipulate the magic in nature by manipulating the magic in our bodies. Is that what you mean?"

In fact, this is the same as the alternating current and direct current that we are familiar with. Although both are electricity, in most cases direct current cannot be used directly, but needs to be converted into alternating current through a rectifier before it can be used. The magic in nature is like direct current, the magic wand is equivalent to a rectifier, and the human body is equivalent to an electrical appliance designed to only use alternating current. In this way, we can intuitively understand why people cannot use the magic in nature directly, but need to use it after conversion through a magic wand.

"Teacher, if a wizard doesn't use a wand, does that mean he can't cast magic?" Rhine asked a tricky question. Because in reality, there are situations where direct current can be used directly.

"The question you asked has been studied in academia before, and the answer is yes."

"Eh!???" This answer obviously exceeded Rhine's expectations. Being able to cast magic without a wand, wouldn't that be another magic system?

"Don't they say that after a wizard loses his wand, he becomes like an ordinary person and cannot cast magic?" This understanding has almost become common sense in this world.

"Originally, these are things you would learn after becoming an apprentice witch, but since little Rhine is so interested, I will briefly explain them to you." Weiwei, who was treated as a teacher for the first time, was very responsible. Since the students asked her, how could she not answer?

"The reason why people think that a wizard can't cast magic after losing his wand is because catalyst props nowadays generally exist in the form of a wand. In fact, a wizard does not lose the ability to cast spells when he loses his wand, but loses the catalyst prop."

"In fact, the catalyst props used by mages do not have a fixed shape. They can be any kind of jewelry, gloves, ties, or even masks, glasses, brooches, etc. It's just that the magic wand is the best catalyst carrier and is favored by mages. Catalysts of other shapes not only require high customization fees, but the conversion effect is not as efficient as the magic wand, so 99% of mages will choose to use the magic wand as a catalyst prop."

"I see." After listening to the teacher's explanation, Rhine suddenly realized. If the catalyst is not necessarily a magic wand, then can his ring be used as a catalyst for casting spells? Although it is not a magic wand, it is a magic artifact. It is the world's top catalyst, right? If not, he can only find a way to get a magic wand.

"Teacher, if we don't use a catalyst, then we can't cast magic?" At the same time, Irena, who was also listening with great interest, joined the discussion and asked a question that Rhine also wanted to ask.

“Yes and no.”

After hearing what the teacher said, Irena glared at Rhine, obviously thinking about his yes and no last night.

"What do you mean by yes and no?" Rhine continued to ask, ignoring Irena's gaze.

"Because the magic power in the human body is very small, it can hardly support the release of a large-scale magic. It plays a more dispatching role, directing the magic power in nature to form magic. For example, the magic power in our body is equivalent to the commander of the army, and the magic power in nature is the soldiers. No matter what the action is, the commander only needs to give orders, there is no reason for him to go into battle personally. Even if it really happens, it's okay once or twice, but if it happens too many times, what if there is an accident?"

"So it's not that you can't use it, but it's forbidden. Because using the magic power in your body to forcibly release magic will put a huge burden on your body. According to the experimental data of the Magic Integration Association, even a wizard at the level of a great witch can only release a few intermediate magics without a wand. If you continue to release it, it will cause irreversible permanent damage to the magic circuits in your body. In serious cases, you may not be able to use magic in your life. Even the great witch is like this, let alone ordinary witches and apprentice witches. Therefore, for your own safety, you must not forcefully use magic without a wand. Whether it is the teachers or witches at the magic academy, when teaching students, they all default to the principle that magic cannot be used without a wand."

"I see. It's not that it can't be used, but that it can't be used."
