[0016] Is it wrong to be a magical girl but keep learning art?
Taking advantage of the excuse of studying art and practicing painting, Lux and Sona started hands-on practice of drawing magic circuits.
After actually getting started, the two little girls finally understood why Kalya stayed for half a year to give them special training in drawing magic circuits.
The magic circuit... is so difficult to draw.
Although most of these stripes and graphics are composed of the simplest aggregates, and the circuit units with individual functions can be drawn very standard with just a little practice, but once they are combined together, the difficulty begins to increase geometrically.
The magic circuit is connected, and a complete magic circuit has at least a dozen units, and as many as dozens or even hundreds of units. There are specific connection methods between these units, and in order to meet these connection methods
, sometimes an additional circuit needs to be connected in parallel or in series - compared with drawing a magic circuit, drawing a circuit diagram is simply a game.
At least the wires in the circuit diagram are straight lines, but in the magic circuit, even the simplest and simplest connections are still a bunch of geometric figures, and they have to be connected end to end according to rules.
What's even more outrageous is that in order to ensure the smooth flow of magic, the entire process must be drawn in one stroke, and no interruption is allowed, not to mention making mistakes or modifications, or even stopping!
Under such an astonishing difficulty, Lux and Sona tried their best to slowly change from "generally knowing how to draw" to "knowing how to draw in detail but unable to complete it at once".
The progress of this process was exactly in line with Karya's estimate - it took the two of them half a year.
Until summer arrived, on a cool morning, Sona drew a complete one-time circuit for the first time to extract and amplify magic power.
The two little girls were delighted.
Then, they were told that this was not over yet.
"You are using charcoal, which is the easiest to draw, and white paper suitable for drawing." After they celebrated excitedly, Kalya poured cold water on her again, "If you want to actually draw, you can use it to assist in casting spells and guide magic.
For the magic circuit, you need to use more professional materials."
Both Lux and Sona couldn't help but have an ominous premonition.
Then...this premonition came true.
"Considering that most magic materials are hard to find in Demacia and are too eye-catching, your best option is actually carving - you guessed it, use forbidden magic stone to carve."
Hearing Kalya's words, Lux really wanted to throw her sword into the mud at the bottom of the pond - even Sona, who has always been gentle, was wondering if this sword was too cold in the summer.
Do you want to put it in the stove to warm it up?
After glaring at Kalya fiercely, the two of them unanimously set their eyes on the one-foot-square drawing paper they had just drawn, and then automatically replaced it with a magic-forbidden stone of the same size.
The painstakingly drawn magic circuit above has been replaced with an indented relief.
Drawing the magic circuit needs to be done in one stroke, and carving the forbidden magic stone may also need to be done in one stroke.
That is to say...
"Next we have to learn carving, right?" Lux's tone was neither sad nor happy, as if she had seen through the world without any worldly desires, "Besides, you also happen to know a little bit about relief sculpture."
"Congratulations, you have learned how to answer questions!" Kalya's tone was filled with joy that your father is very satisfied with you. "Relax, the material of the forbidden magic stone is much softer than ordinary stones. You can carve the entire magic circuit in one go.
It’s not a big problem for you—at least in terms of strength.”
"Oh, that's great." Lux read without emotion and looked at her best friend, "Sona, what do you think?"
"I think so." Sona nodded expressionlessly, "This is really great."
"Uh-huh!"
"That's right."
Then, while the two were singing and singing, Lux's sword was "accidentally" untied from her waist, and the sword and scabbard "coincidentally" fell into the small pond in the garden of the Crownguard family, and sank.
in the end.
"Karya, where are you?" Lux seemed to be very concerned, and immediately took off her shoes and went into the water, "Sona, come and help!"
Sona on the side, after hesitating for a moment, finally chose to enter the leg-deep pond with Lux.
In this way, in the "passionate search" of the two students, Kalya was kicked one after another and was stepped into the mud at the bottom of the pond - until Galen also tried to join the water game.
, was "finded with great difficulty" by Lux.
……………………
Regardless of the process, Lux and Sona started studying the third art project after studying music and painting.
However, unlike the previous two times, Ogesha, who has always been very supportive of Lux, rarely showed her opposition this time.
"Baby, mom has always supported you." Ogesha looked at her daughter helplessly, "Music and painting can cultivate sentiment and remind artistic literacy, so I am very happy for you to learn this knowledge - but look at sculpture
That’s good, there’s really no need to do this yourself.”
"Only by doing it yourself can you appreciate the true charm of art." According to what Kalya taught her, Lux endured the shame and said her second grade declaration, "You can only know what a pear tastes like after you taste it.
That’s my art!”
"But there is no need for you to plant a pear tree yourself." Ogesha stretched out her hand and rubbed her temples, "Honey, after all, carving is not something a lady should do, and it is not in line with etiquette to be covered in dust and be embarrassed."
"So I hope to use forbidden magic stone for carving - I have specially studied the material. Normally, forbidden magic stone will not have a lot of floating dust when carving!"
"...But swinging a hammer is really inelegant."
"That can be considered a kind of exercise - Mom, I know that I can't go into battle like my brother and sister Kashina, but sometimes I also long to do something with my own strength. Sculpting is already something I can think of.
It’s one of the best ways.”
"..."
Looking at Lux who persisted, Ogesha finally spoke helplessly.
In her opinion, her daughter has also reached the rebellious stage, and the little cotton-padded jacket seems to be developing into strange clothes. However, the Crown Guard family tradition is such that her daughter is not like her sister-in-law Tiana, who disguised herself as a man and ran away.
Fighting as a fearless vanguard, I can already feel lucky.
Carving... carving is at least better than clamoring to join the army, isn't it?
If you like carving, then let you carve!
"As long as you don't delay what you should do." Ogesha gritted her teeth, trying not to think about her little princess's embarrassment in the rubble, "I will instruct the housekeeper to make a carving room for you!
"
"Mom is the best!" Lux raised her face and printed it on her mother's face without hesitation, "I love mom!"
"Huh, I know it's the right time to say something nice!" Ogesha said with disgust, but she still couldn't help turning the corners of her mouth upwards, "Forget it, who made me your mother..."
In this way, Lux, who had taken care of her mother, officially started the practice of carving the forbidden magic stone.
……………………
Half a month later.
Lux's "Forbidden Demon Stone Carving Art" has not yet made any breakthroughs.
But at the noble banquet, there was a breakthrough in the number of people who took the initiative to talk to her - one after another, strangers came to find Lux through various connections.
These people have different origins and strange backgrounds, but most of them are artists who are in trouble.
They were uneasy in front of Lux's perfect aristocratic etiquette, and even spoke a little hesitantly. Even if Lux listened carefully, even if she now understood the art of the aristocratic language, the result was the same.
In the fog - until Kalya translated it in human language for her.
"They are all artists and hope to attract some sponsorship."
"But why are you looking for me?" Lux was confused, "This is the engagement banquet of the Gufu family, and I am not the host of this banquet!"
"But you are the guy who knows the most about art in the Demacia noble circle." Kalya suppressed a smile, "And to be honest, although these people are more embarrassed than the other, they usually have two brushes... remember
Is that the guy who just praised you as a 'real artist'?"
"You mean that cramped moustache?"
"Yes, it's him - I heard Sona say that when he faced the young master of the Dirk family last year, he even explicitly called him a 'bastard who doesn't understand art'!" Kalya finally couldn't help it anymore.
, laughed out loud, "And even for such an artist who has his own artistic persistence, he still has full respect for you. Obviously, our Miss Laxana Crownguard has now become the last great figure in Demacian art.
Savior!"
"Why is this happening?" Lux maintained her etiquette with a slightly stiff face, but she had nothing to say in her heart, "I am learning magic?!"
"A great magician who doesn't want to be an artist is not a good swordsman." Kalya whistled happily, "It's a pity, I'm not very good at dealing with these art people, and they will notice even if you omit something in your etiquette.
I won’t come out, so let me rest for a while..."
"Don't!" Lux was dumbfounded, "If you do this... if you do this, I will reveal my secret. I don't have any artistic talent. These are all quick and partial skills. I can't handle communicating with people like them!"
"Everyone has something they are not good at." Kalya looked very understanding, "Just like me, I have no hands or feet now, so I am not good at pulling myself out of the mud..."
Kalya's vengeance shocked Lux.
"My dear, great, knowledgeable, omnipotent teacher, I was wrong!" Lux, who realized the problem, gave in decisively, "I shouldn't be angry because of my slackness in studying, let alone you.
Offended—"
"When did you ever offend me?"
"Oh, that's right, that's right, I have never dared to offend you, and I will never do it again!" Lux was flexible and flexible, "This time, for the sake of my youth and ignorance, I have to help me no matter what.
Help me deal with these artists... I just can't get along with them!"
"Humph -" Kalya drew out her tone reservedly, "Forget it, I'm such a kind person... Next, I'll say something, and you can just follow it - also, pay attention to how you manage your expressions, artist.
It should be elegant, not like a sad-faced fool!"
