“As long as you use a magic crystal, you can learn the corresponding magic? Little Fia, are you serious?” Claire’s incredulous voice echoed in the backyard of the clinic.
After breakfast, the two of them went to the backyard to start learning magic.
When Claire explained the basic principles of magic, Fia told Claire that she could use the magic contained in a magic crystal as soon as she got her hands on it.
Faced with Claire’s surprise, Fia could only smile awkwardly.
“I’m definitely not lying to you, Claire.
I don’t even know what elements are.
So when you said that before using magic, you need to communicate with the elements using your own magic power, I couldn’t understand it.”
Although the reason she could learn magic was due to “super calculation,” Fia had no clue about the true nature of this “super calculation.” Moreover, since it was something clearly from the Human Alliance, even if she told Claire, Claire would probably say she didn’t know.
Not to mention that they were using the sacred language of Milcandis, translating the “super calculation” recorded in the Human Alliance language for Claire was another challenge.
“Not knowing what elements are but still being able to use magic… Little Fia, you’re as strange as I am.”
Claire’s gaze at Fia became more nuanced.
It felt like someone solving a math problem without showing the work but still getting the correct answer, which was hard to believe.
“Ahaha… Actually, not only can I immediately learn the magic in the magic crystal, but the magic I release is always a bit stronger than the magic in the crystal.”
“That’s not a problem.
Normally released magic is indeed stronger than magic released through a magic crystal.
Let’s skip exploring the reasons for now.
What magic can Fia use now?”
“‘Spirit Fire’ and ‘Wind Blade.'”
“Show me.”
“Okay.”
If she used the ‘Spirit Fire’ at the level of a flame storm, it would definitely blow up half the clinic, so Fia ultimately chose the fireball form of ‘Spirit Fire.’ As for ‘Wind Blade,’ she kept it to a length of two meters.
So far, Fia had only tested the limits of ‘Spirit Fire’—the maximum release distance was five hundred yards, and the single summon limit was one hundred and twenty fireballs.
As for the limits of ‘Wind Blade,’ Fia had not yet tested them.
Thinking this, Fia extended her hands, following the information left by the “super calculation” in her mind, and simultaneously summoned a fireball and a wind blade—before being stopped by Claire.
“Where’s your magic wand?” Claire said, handing Fia a short silver wand only a foot long.
The wand was exquisitely crafted, with a beautifully curved metallic body, and the magic gem at the top was two nested crescent moons of different colors.
The crescent-shaped gem didn’t directly touch the wand but floated mysteriously above it, as if there was an invisible connection between them, preventing the gem from detaching from the wand no matter how it was shaken.
With the engraved patterns on the wand, it was practically a work of art.
Fia didn’t need to ask to know that this wand was very expensive.
“This is a magic wand I acquired during my travels.
I’m not just a magic chanter, so it doesn’t serve much purpose with me.
I’ll leave it in your care, Fia.”
“No—”
“No need to be polite.
Consider it part of my apology.
If you don’t accept it, I’ll assume you’re still mad at me.”
Saying this, Claire forcibly pushed the wand into Fia’s hands.
“…Thank you.”
With a rather complex expression, Fia accepted the wand.
Although she didn’t need a magic wand to cast spells, since Claire had put it that way, she decided to find an opportunity later to repay the favor in some other way.
After all, being able to cast magic without a wand was like writing without a pen in this world.
Having a wand as a cover, even if just for show, could help avoid the astonished looks of others in many situations.
After preparing again, Fia held the magic wand horizontally and used ‘Spirit Fire’ and ‘Wind Blade.’
A massive fireball with a diameter of one meter and a two-meter-long blue wind blade appeared instantly.
Almost immediately, the two felt a scorching sensation on their skin, and a piercing buzzing sound filled their ears.
Claire’s expression grew increasingly complex.
“Is this what Fia meant by ‘a bit stronger than ordinary magic’? If the scale were any larger, it could already be considered second-tier magic.
And not to mention I didn’t hear any chanting, releasing two different elemental magics simultaneously is something I’ve only seen in highly talented magical creatures, like the moon dragons among dragons who are best at magic.
Little Fia truly lives up to being the number one genius of the Elven Kingdom.
Let me see the strength of the magic.”
After observing the magic surrounding Fia for a moment, Claire used her previous ice crystal rapier to poke at Fia’s ‘Fireball’ and ‘Wind Blade.’
“Even when disturbed by external objects, there’s no sign of dispersal.
The magic wave emitted during the release is no different from that of a normal magic chanter.
This is indeed magic used by little Fia herself… I’ve never seen anyone who can learn magic just by crushing a crystal.
If such a person exists, wouldn’t they be able to learn forbidden spells just by crushing a forbidden spell crystal? If little Fia isn’t teasing me, the word ‘genius’ is already insufficient to describe her; she’s practically a born magic chanter.”
This statement is quite disrespectful to those who study magic seriously.
Thinking this in her heart, Fia waved her hand, using her mind to dissipate the fireball and wind blade.
“But I can’t feel the elements at all.”
“Well… not being able to see the elements is indeed a problem.
Although it doesn’t show now, you’ll definitely encounter all sorts of strange troubles in the future, like this sword in my hand.
Without understanding the elements, you won’t be able to use it.
Since Fia can skip the process of communicating with the elements, you can first learn ‘Magic Vision’ through a magic crystal, and then observe the elements.
It’s just that I don’t usually use magic crystals, so we’ll have to make a trip to the Mage Association.”
“Wait, Claire, I want to know what that sword in your hand is.”
Yesterday, when Claire used it, Fia didn’t see the process, but just now she witnessed Claire summoning the ice crystal rapier—Claire simply swung her hand down, and the blue-glowing rapier appeared in her hand, looking quite cool and making one want to learn it.
Claire shook the ice crystal rapier in her hand.
“This? It’s an ‘Enchanted Blade,’ only usable by warriors of the third tier and above.
Although Fia isn’t a warrior, I remember the Elven Princess has already reached the seventh tier, so learning it shouldn’t be difficult.
However, the prerequisite for using an enchanted blade is that you must first communicate with the elements, and then you can condense the elements into a weapon.
Everything depends on Fia being able to see the elements.
Time is of the essence, let’s set off now.
We can also buy some other magic crystals along the way, so Fia can master more magic.”
Waving her hand to dismiss the ice crystal rapier, Claire pulled out a deep blue gem from who knows where and playfully waved it at Fia.
A gem coin.
A currency made from high-purity magic crystals, with the highest denomination.
One gem coin is equivalent to a hundred gold coins.
Generally, only nobles with family businesses carry gem coins with them.
“Fia, just pick whatever magic you like~” Claire said, winking and showing a rather delighted expression.
