"Meow……"

Inaba's tail and ears drooped, and she sighed: "Little Beiji, you don't have to insist like this...it's not worth it."

The Arctic Curator did not speak, and the firm eyes on his round bear face never wavered.

Inaba couldn't do anything to him, "Okay...I agreed."

"Thanks."

"That student is the new student in Meow's class, right?"

"yes."

"Meow Gu..."

When the director of the Arctic Curator said what he meant, Inaba guessed that the student he was talking about was Mu Zhong.

Because it’s perfect in every aspect.

"About me coming to you, I hope you can keep the freshman a secret." Director Arctic took out a card and handed it to Inaba, "This is my appointment card. Please hand it over when the time comes.

Get it into his hands and ask him to come to Library No. 7 to find me."

After talking about the relevant matters, the Arctic Curator bowed, said goodbye and left.

Inaba looked at the card in his hand in embarrassment: "Meow...why does Meow encounter such trouble?"

………

——The above is the reason——

Now.

At the ‘Arctic Center’ on the top floor of Library No. 7.

The Arctic Curator was sizing up the ordinary-looking young man in front of him.

His facial features are featureless, his face is too ordinary, and his temperament is completely ordinary. He obviously has a beard, but there is no evil spirit. His eyes are like a dead fish that has been dead for a long time. The only redeeming feature of his image is his clothes, at least on the surface.

Considered clean.

"You are the wooden clock, right?" the childish and cute voice of the Arctic curator sounded.

"Eh?!"

Mu Zhong felt flattered when he heard this, and was a little flustered for a moment: "Yes, I am Mu Zhong."

"You sit down first."

The Arctic Curator walked straight to the edge of the sand and raised his hand to signal the 'magic book' to serve black tea.

He stared at the wooden clock closely: "Someone recommended to me that you are very suitable to be my disciple... We will not discuss this for now. Please tell me about your current situation first."

Mu Zhong nodded, "Okay."

Next, he explained in detail his "inability to learn magic" and "how to master magic", including matters related to the source of magic power. He explained everything clearly.

………

The 'Magic Book' brought out another cup of black tea from the small compartment. The Arctic Curator added brown sugar to the black tea while listening to the instructions of the wooden clock.

This new student has a logical thinking ability that is inconsistent with his appearance. He has almost no active guidance, and the other party can explain everything in detail in an orderly manner.

It's very good to make it very clear.

The Arctic Curator picked up the black tea and took a sip. He was considering the other party.

Whether it is literal information or information obtained face to face, this new student named ‘Wooden Bell’ is the most suitable candidate ever.

This is nothing to be happy about.

——The Arctic Curator has passed the age of impulsiveness, and he needs more ‘certainty’.

"How many magic spells do you know now?"

"Six."

"Release it and let me see it."

"Um."

Wooden Bell is very interested in this 'little polar bear', both in terms of magic and appearance.

The former is more important now. Director Arctic made him feel a glimmer of possibility, so in order to let the other party know his situation more clearly, he would not hold anything back.

"Egg Summoning Technique." - An egg is summoned.

"Tomato Summoning Technique." - Summons a red tomato.

"The art of boiling water." - Boil black tea.

"Brushing your teeth." - fresh mouth.

"Personal cleansing." - The body becomes clean.

"The Lightbulb Comes." - A fifteen-watt incandescent lamp hangs from the ceiling of the room.

"..."

"..."

The Arctic curator looked at the shining light bulbs above his head, "Did you learn all of this out of nowhere?"

"Yes." - Affirmed.

"... Very interesting magic." He suddenly felt that it must be fate that this new student would appear here.

The wooden clock canceled the magic light bulb and said: "I don't think this magic is like magic at all."

The curator of the North Pole drank the red tea and said in the tone of a profound magician: "The depth of the magic path is not power. The offensive magic is just beautiful to look at. Some of the sages who arrived in the holy realm relied on power.

?Wooden clock, you need to think carefully about what magic is and what magic means to you."

"What does magic mean to me?"

It has been more than half a month since Mu Zhong came to the academy. The meaning of magic... he seems to have never thought about it.

You really need to think about it yourself.

"I'll think about it."

A very understanding person from another world.

——The Arctic Curator’s satisfaction with the wooden clock has increased.

After talking for a while, the conversation between the two gradually approached the topic.

The Arctic Curator asked seriously: "What do you think is the essence of magic?"

Hmm? The nature of magic?

Mu Zhong was a little confused as to why the other party asked this question, "I shouldn't be qualified to answer this question..."

"Just say what you think."

"Okay... my idea is this: use forty-nine original runes, follow a certain pattern, build a qualified magic model, and then inject magic into it to release magic."

After speaking, he nervously waited for the Arctic curator's evaluation.

The Arctic curator took another sip of black tea, added a few spoons of sugar, and commented while stirring: "It's very ordinary."

He continued: "Magic is essentially a means of communicating with the world. We use magic to communicate with the world, and the world responds to us with magic. Think about it now and see if you can understand this sentence."

"Magic is essentially a means of communicating with the world..." Mu Zhong frowned, and he had some understanding, "That's it... magic is language, and magic is the change in the world's response..."

"I seem to understand a little bit."

"That's good."

Director Beiji nodded and continued: "Different magic construction systems can be understood as different magic languages. Almost all construction systems in the magic world today communicate with the world through the construction of magic languages, and then affect reality."

"The reason why I use the word 'almost' is because the magic world still wants me to be an exception. Unlike all other magicians, I have handed over all my magic sources to the world. I don't need to build magic to compete with

When the world communicates, I am the world, and the world will give me magic."

His words are extremely informative.

After saying these words, the Arctic Curator fell silent and waited silently for the other party to digest the information.

"..."

For a moment, the only sound in the huge room was the sound of the 'magic book' pouring black tea.

About an hour later.

Mu Zhong thought it through and smiled bitterly: "It's not good."

According to what the Arctic Curator said, that is equivalent to giving up the possibility of magic. Everything is determined by fate, and fate...

"It's very bad."

The director of the Arctic Curator did not use optimistic words to persuade. On the contrary, his attitude was even more resistant: "I have taught a total of sixteen students, and they are all dead, and no one is alive."

"This is not a system, this is an extremely costly transaction, a transaction with fate, a transaction with the world. This kind of transaction will not have the concept of fairness. Once you choose this kind of transaction, you will only be played by fate.

You will be fooled by the world, and only complete death awaits you."

The Arctic Curator became more and more excited as he talked, and it was obvious that he himself hated this method.

"..."

Mu Zhong wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He opened his mouth, and finally picked up the black tea and drank it in one gulp, saying nothing.

a long time.

"Can you tell me more about it? I want to evaluate the transaction you're talking about."

He came to this world to learn magic. As long as the benefits of the 'transaction' far outweigh the disadvantages, it is not unacceptable to pay a small price and bear a small risk.
