Carpenter could not understand Russell's melancholy. Her magic skills were not enough for her to understand. The two of them, who obviously had a large gap in strength, were exhausted at the same time. They even had almost the same amount of rest. They needed to
What a load of calculations and what a deep understanding of both of them.
Russell certainly wouldn't think that this was because his teacher paid so much attention to them.
Gilbert can be regarded as a conscientious teacher, but he is definitely not that dedicated.
This only proves that the apprentice is completely visible to the mage and has no room to hide himself.
Russell now shudders a little whenever he thinks about the plans he had made for what he would do after entering the Magic Tower before being taught by the family elder.
Even if he found something wrong with him, based on his observations of Gilbert during this period, the teacher probably wouldn't do anything to him, but he would definitely not teach as seriously as he does now.
He will just be like the apprentices who run around in the magic tower every day, and can only struggle on their own... Don't those people's teachers have the same status as Gilbert?
There must be, and quite a few.
Russell could tell from the completely different mage robes of those people. Not all apprentices in the Tower of Black Mystery had cotton robes.
There is also a type that is a blend of cotton and black taro linen.
He estimated that these were just ordinary apprentices who had met the standards but had not been accepted by a capable mage.
There were also a few who seemed to have just entered the magic tower, and even the apprentice robes they wore were made of pure black taro linen. Russell estimated that these were the ones sent in by the family with money.
Probably because they haven't been assigned to a certain mage, these people are still wearing the ordinary robes sold by the Black Mystery Tower.
Russell looked down at his sister who was leaning on the soft sofa cushions and looking out curiously.
During this time, he did figure out why Gilbert became a little more attentive to Carpenter: Carpenter, who was not talented enough, was shrewd enough not to fall into their teacher's eyes, but his warm personality
meeting.
In the world of mages, IQ and ability are indeed the bottom line, and those who can enter the magic tower will always be close to this bottom line no matter how bad they are... So what teachers consider is whether the student's personality is in line with their own preferences.
"Carpenter." He gently knocked on the dazed girl's head, "How have you been studying these days? Have you memorized all the books?"
"Hmm...yeah!" Carpenter replied a little unceremoniously.
"Don't you understand something?" Russell's tone was more serious, "If you have any questions, you must ask them in time."
"No..." Carpenter said hesitantly, "Brother Russell, why am I better at the most troublesome illusion than the two easiest illusions the teacher said?"
"Huh?" Russell was surprised.
Carpenter gently stretched out his fingers to point at himself, and recited the curse in a very gentle voice... Then Russell couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: Damn, she really looks like his biological mother.
"What were you thinking about when you cast the spell?
Have you chosen a specific person in your heart?" Although he was taken aback, Russell still thought of the most important question.
The main purpose of this spell is to make the enemy lose their fighting spirit, so the effect of the spell is to make the opponent see the person he loves most on his face.
Although Russell did love his mother, he was actually not sure whether the one he loved most was his biological mother... He was discovered to be a mage at the age of three and was sent directly to live in the apprentice building next to the library.
My feelings towards my family are a bit complicated.
After all, after that, his family's love for him, no matter how passionate it is, will be mixed with some uncontrollable 'desires'.
However, as mage apprentices with relatively strong mental power, unless they lie to themselves, they can read the desire in their eyes that cannot be concealed.
However, it's not that their parents don't love them, which makes people always a little confused... If it was Carpenter he saw, Russell probably wouldn't have asked such a question.
Russell was really not sure whether what he saw was a real spell effect.
"Something's wrong, isn't it?" Carpenter said a little gloomily, "I keep it to myself, mostly you, but I saw my mother a few times, and even my father once, really.
I was almost scared to death.
I always feel that this is not normal.
You pick your favorite, right?
I clearly feel that I... may love my innocent little sister more than my parents."
"Should I ask the teacher next time?" Russell seemed to agree with her words. "It's not easy to discover your talent. You must not make any strange mistakes."
"Yeah!" Carpenter nodded heavily.

Of course Hill heard this conversation in the public hall.
Therefore, he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly: Could it be that in addition to teaching spells, he also had to teach children how to view their own lives?
What child doesn't love his parents?
Even though my heart may be entangled with questions about who loves whom more, and who do you love more besides me, teenage children definitely want to ask for love from their parents.
But because of the rebellious spirit of adolescence, they will be particularly concerned about the gap between gains and losses... Even if they enjoy a lot of love from their parents, teenage children will suddenly be unable to say that they love their parents the most.
normal.
Hill knows this: in his real teenage years, although he was not as immersed in beautiful images as his classmates because he was too straight, he was still very willing to devote himself to the sports he loved.
Emotional.
Although my favorites change every day, I still have them every day.
It wasn't until he passed that period of adolescence that he turned around and began to talk sweetly to his biological parents again... But it's not like Hill had never seen friends who couldn't admit that they loved their biological parents the most after they were 30 years old.
Hill thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure out how to tell two 16-year-old children that there was nothing wrong with the spell's effect. What was wrong was that you two felt that there were no parents among your favorites.
Just how troublesome adolescent children are, don’t you know it just by looking at them?
However, until the two children appeared in front of him, Hill did not figure out how to solve this problem.
Therefore, when Carpenter hesitated and asked the question, Hill could only make a quick decision: "The effect of the spell is correct.
You don’t need to consider whose face the enemy sees, as long as the result is correct.”
Carpenter still seemed a little unwilling to give up, but when she quietly raised her head, she saw Hilbert's expressionless and seemingly impatient face, so she chose to keep her mouth shut.
"Teacher..." Russell spoke quickly, "A lot of apprentices have disappeared recently. I also saw a few apprentices who were not registered...Did something happen to the Tower of Black Mystery?"
Hill thought for a while and told them the news about Iron Dragon...of course, only the obvious ones.
"So, teacher, this has nothing to do with us, right?" Russell asked seriously, "Even if someone really catches the iron dragon, it won't affect our future."
At the end of his words, he couldn't help but have a slightly rising tone.
It is obviously a declarative statement, but it can also be regarded as a question mark.
It's a bit like, if Hill doesn't want to answer, the question mark doesn't need to exist.
This kid is really interesting.
Hill suddenly felt that he was getting a little older... In the past, he would only find these children's temptations a bit annoying.
"It really doesn't have any impact." And he's so easy to be soft-hearted that he even replies like this.
Hill leaned back slightly on his chair and said softly: "In twenty years, this won't be a problem that you need to consider. Just study the spells seriously."
"Yes, teacher!" Russell and Carpenter replied solemnly at the same time, "We will study hard."
