People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

"Isn't this meant for me to use as a table?"

"hehe."

His answer made Seren laugh.

"Of course the reason I gave you the chair is so you can sit on it and answer the questions at the table. Come on, sit down."

Seren changed his previous stern attitude and became gentle and considerate, which made him think of the virtuous teacher in the basement after the Fader returned.

Sure enough, Teacher Se Lian is still the same teacher...

04. Strange Talent

The so-called pyroxene is amber formed by stars, which fell from the sky to the earth, was buried deep underground and was mined by magicians.

However, pyroxene magic originated from the starry sky, and was first inspired by ancient stargazers who observed the sky and followed the footsteps of the stars.

The origin of the starry sky glimpsed by ancient stargazers became reality, and star amber fell on this land.

According to historical records, the first stargazers were at the northernmost end of the border area - on top of the distant snow-capped mountains, living next to giants. It was the place closest to the starry sky.

Only after that did we migrate to Lienia to observe a different starry sky.

After countless years of polishing, it finally became a relatively systematic system.

But now, the stars have been bound, and stargazing has become a thing of the past. Nowadays, all pyroxene magicians rely on exploring the mysteries of pyroxene to peek into the secrets of the starry sky.

Lenarra and her daughter Lani, who had once been stargazers chasing the stars and glimpsed the full moon, naturally became the last group.

The so-called pyroxene magic is naturally magic that uses pyroxene to mobilize magic power, which can be simply referred to as swinging stones.

Here, it is recorded in books, taught in class, and also what I learned after arriving at the border area.

But as far as he knew, there seemed to be more to it than that.

Before the stargazers, there was an even older stargazer—

Those who once lived in the Eternal City were a race called the Night People or the Nox People.

They wanted to believe in the stars earlier.

After being sunk into the ground by the Supreme Will, it was divided into two factions - Noklon and Noxstella, which occupied two underground rivers respectively.

One awaits the coming of the Lord of Night and Stars, the other looks forward to the arrival of the Dark Moon.

Just like the Magic Academy and the Kalia Royal Family that represent the stars and the moon today.

Sometimes he even suspected that the lineage of the Kalia royal family and the lineage of the Rhealucalia School of Magic represented the descendants of Noklon and Noxstella respectively.

But after all, these are just speculations and there is no more solid evidence to prove them.

"Teacher Serlian, please take a look."

He quickly finished the test paper and handed it to Se Lian who was sitting next to him.

However, Se Lian seemed to have fallen into a state of obsession with studying pyroxene and could not extricate himself until he knocked lightly on the table and came back to his senses.

"Hmm? Have you finished writing yet?"

Se Lian temporarily put down the research at hand, took the test paper, and stretched in front of him without any hesitation. Her slender and graceful curves were completely revealed through the loose magician's robe.

For a moment, he was stunned.

What you see in person at the border is far more beautiful than what you see in the game.

No wonder Topps, who was curled up in the Elis Church, called Seren a lovable woman. She was really charming.

However, Se Lian seemed not to notice his gaze. She picked up the feather pen on the table and began to correct the paper in the dim light.

Her deep blue eyes were filled with a serious look, her skin was as white as snow, and the faint light from the pyroxene candle lamp placed on the table shone on her face, revealing an inexplicable sense of mystery.

"Not bad. You answered quickly and your answers were satisfactory. It seems your theoretical knowledge is good enough to get a hood in a certain classroom."

"Well, let's test the actual operation next..."

When she finished grading the test papers and looked up, she happened to find Reinhardt looking at her.

Reinhardt also noticed this and quickly bowed his head to apologize: "I'm sorry, Professor Serlian, I, I shouldn't have..."

"uh-huh."

However, Se Lian showed no shyness or anger, but simply warned earnestly, "It's okay, it's not a big deal."

"But you must remember that for a pyroxene magician, the body is merely a temporary stopover."

"So, don't be obsessed with the flesh, it will ruin your future and talent."

"Yes, Professor Serlian, I understand."

Reinhard lowered his head and said weakly.

But admitting his mistake was one thing, but he did not agree with Serlian's statement that the physical body was not necessary.

Only by having a physical body can one confirm one's own limits, gain a better understanding, and transcend these limits.

Moreover, in this place at the border, it is not safe to abandon the body in the traditional way of the origin school. If you are not careful, you will turn into a magician's ball.

In addition to Teacher Se Lian, there are countless other examples.

However, he did not say these words to Se Lian. To be exact, now was not the time.

"Okay, let's test your actual operation next."

After teaching him the mistakes in writing the details on the paper, he was led to a corner of the room and began to test the actual operation.

To be honest, if Seren hadn't told him that the things in the corner were used to test magic, he would probably have mistaken those things for a pile of garbage.

It was covered with dust. According to Serlian, the machine had not been used for years.

But fortunately, it still works normally.

After completing the test with great effort, they returned to the table.

Se Lian pondered for a moment as he stared at the scroll in his hand. He then spoke slowly, "Your magic control is indeed good, and your aptitude is indeed acceptable, but the strange talent you carry has slightly altered the properties of some of your pyroxene magic... But, overall, it's not bad."

"So, I think I'll have no problem taking the next exam?"

"Ah."

Se Lian nodded in confirmation, but then said sternly, "But remember, don't become complacent with this little achievement. You've only taken the first step toward understanding."

"You are still immature in the field of magic, just a child who has just learned to walk."

"Only by recognizing your own immaturity can you become a true magician. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Reinhardt nodded cautiously.

He was very familiar with these words. He thought he had heard them countless times.

Even though I'm tired of hearing it, I still feel nostalgic when I hear it again.

Seeing how he was willing to learn and not complacent about his small achievements, Se Lian was very satisfied.

She was not wrong about the child; he was indeed a talented person.

But Reinhardt's talent made her feel troubled...

In the magic test just now, she actually discovered that Reinhardt's magic properties actually contained a hint of fire attribute. This was the first time she had seen this in all the years she had studied pyroxene magic.

Although it didn't completely change the nature of the pyroxene magic, it was enough to interest her.

However, this talent seems to also bring a lot of trouble.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to tell Reinhardt.

"Reinhardt, you must remember clearly what I say next."

"?"

He slowly typed a question mark to express his confusion, but still nodded to indicate that he would remember it carefully.

"...Well, you have to remember that while your unique talent is certainly good and can allow you to achieve great success on the path of pyroxene, it may also bring you some serious trouble. Even so, you must be careful of someone."

At this point, Se Lian's voice became more solemn:

"That man is the husband of Queen Reinara of the Full Moon, the former hero of the Golden Tree, and the current husband of King Kalia—Radagon."

05. Midnight Visit

Radagan, this name was so familiar to him.

Known as the loyal dog of the Golden Rule and the watchdog of the Supreme Will, he is the other half of Marika, but he and Marika had a fierce battle, and they crushed each other.

Even when the ring was broken, he still did not give up the fight.

But this also happened before the Shattering War.

Currently, Radagon is still the husband of the Full Moon Queen, Lenara, and has not yet become the so-called perfect being.

As for what Se Lian said about being careful, he could understand it.

Because when Radagon was born, he was cursed by the fire giants on the snowy mountains, and his bright red hair was a lifelong pain and hatred for him.

Moreover, for the Golden Rule, or the Golden Tree, fire is a taboo.

Therefore, whether as a hero or as a loyal dog of the Golden Rule, Radagon has an extreme aversion to fire.

But then, Seren dropped another bombshell.

"You must also be careful within the Magic Academy. From what I know, Radagon has already won over most of the magic professors and pyroxene mages, attempting to launch a coup."

"?!"

Hearing this, Reinhardt was stunned.

Is Radagan planning a coup?

The target of the overthrow was obviously Reinara, the Queen of Kalia.

If this was said by someone else, he might not believe it, but Seren's words were almost 100% credible.

Because there was no need for her to use this to deceive herself, and Radagon did have this possibility.

Until now, he still clearly remembered the seal on the gate of the Magic Academy, which had the unique grid mark of Radagon, and the red wolf guarding the discussion room.

At first, he also thought that it was placed there to protect Lenara, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.

It's more like surveillance than protection.

It is very simple to come to this conclusion. If Radagon really loves Lenara, then why doesn't he come back to help Lenara regain the academy after becoming the king's husband?

Moreover, Lena is the hero of Kalia, an iron-blooded queen tempered by blood and tears, not a little girl with only a brain full of love. How could she lose her heroic heart and become devastated just because of her husband's departure?

The most crucial thing is that the Kalia royal family is the lifelong enemy of the Golden Tree, and it is a necessary step for the Golden Tree to conquer the border area.

So how could Radagon, a loyal dog of the Golden Rule, not secretly plot how to overthrow Kalia? And in the lakes and hills of Lienia, the best ally is the Rhea Lukalia School of Magic.

When you think about it this way, everything seems to make sense.

However, compared to this matter, he had another question.

"...Teacher Serlian, why are you telling me this?"

"Haha, that's a good question. Why is that..."

Se Lian suddenly changed her posture, and her long white legs hidden under her robe were faintly visible. She rested her elbows on them, supported her head, and stared at him, with a beautiful arc at the corner of her mouth.

"Ahaha... Really? Since even Professor Seulian doesn't know, then forget it..."

Reinhardt smiled wryly, but Seren's words and the pair of blue eyes full of interest made him shudder.

It's not a good thing to make the other person interested...

It felt like I would be pulled onto the operating table for dissection in the next second, like a little white mouse in a laboratory.

To be honest, although he trusted and loved Teacher Serlian very much, he was also really afraid that one day Teacher Serlian would turn himself into a magician's ball in pursuit of that shitty origin.

If possible, he would like to meet this mentor and friend again when the Faded One returns.

But it's not a bad time now. At least he can become stronger under Teacher Se Lian in advance, and witness this unknown history.
