Vivilian explained a lot, allowing Vellandelle to fully understand the basic logic of various types of Magic.
If you think of the human body as a converter, then Elemental Affinity is the rate at which the body converts elements into Magic.
According to Vivilian, even the highest level of Magic Affinity cannot achieve a 100% conversion of elemental power.
This is determined by the human body; while it may be the best medium, it still cannot bring out the full potential.
This made Vellandelle curious—what kind of race could unleash one hundred percent of elemental power?
If such a race existed, could they become a true god?
“Alright, that’s the end of today’s lesson. Class dismissed.”
As Vivilian announced the end of class, the classroom instantly filled with noise.
Everyone was eagerly discussing the teacher’s lecture.
After all, who would have thought that different Magic Marks could be observed in every corner of daily life?
Vellandelle noticed that Veronie beside her had already stood up, preparing to leave.
“Veronie, I hope we can be seatmates again next time.”
Vellandelle smiled gently as well, trying to leave a good impression on Veronie.
“Whatever.”
Veronie’s voice was cold, her long legs showing no sign of stopping.
At one meter eighty, she was the very definition of an ice queen.
Hearing Veronie’s response, Vellandelle’s mood brightened a little.
It seemed Veronie didn’t dislike her.
Vellandelle also stood up.
Since Magic was just a fixed Magic Mark or Magic Array, it should be easy to handle.
No, actually, for her, it might not be easy.
The method of obtaining them was simple—she could buy them or practice on her own—but the problem was, Vellandelle was broke!
She didn’t have the money to buy those Magic Marks at all.
But she desperately needed to learn some Spells to disguise and protect herself.
“Ah, what a headache.”
With a sigh, Vellandelle walked out of the classroom, burdened by her worries.
Just as she stepped out the door, a hand grabbed her arm.
Vellandelle thought it was some ill-intentioned person, but when she turned around, it was actually Vivilian.
“Teacher? It’s you. Is there something you need?”
Vellandelle tilted her head, looking both confused and adorable.
“Student, would you mind helping me carry these Scrolls to the office?”
“Of course.”
“Thank you, little one.”
Seeing Vellandelle’s obedient expression, Vivilian found her especially cute.
“I don’t know your name yet.”
During class, she had paid extra attention to Vellandelle, the student who had never studied Magic before.
Vellandelle listened very seriously, but Vivilian was still worried she might not fully understand, even though today’s lesson didn’t involve actual Magic application.
“Vellandelle Mellow.”
“That’s a cute name. But your surname, Mellow… is it from the family of Merlin, the Great Magician who taught the King of Glory?”
“Uh, just a coincidence. It’s just the same surname by chance.”
Vellandelle smiled awkwardly.
She had just made it up.
When she was making up the name, she vaguely remembered it belonged to some character but couldn’t recall exactly who until now, when Veronie mentioned it.
Then she realized—it was that old guy’s name.
He was a very ancient Mage, whose apprentice was a renowned emperor in ancient times and had conquered most of the continent.
He later lived in seclusion, and in the game’s storyline, assigned a lot of tedious quests.
By now, he was probably several centuries old.
“I see.”
Vivilian nodded and prepared to leave with Vellandelle.
Before leaving, Vellandelle told Kelosha she’d be gone for a while.
She had no class in the next period, while Kelosha and Rosasys did.
She would wait here for them afterward.
These days, Kelosha was on her best behavior, doing her utmost not to upset Vellandelle.
They walked together to the office.
The Scrolls weren’t heavy, so perhaps Vivilian just wanted to talk.
“I’m sorry, Mellow. It was my negligence as a teacher. I’m afraid you might be targeted by your classmates.”
As soon as they entered, a serious apology echoed in front of Vellandelle.
Seeing this, Vellandelle quickly waved her hands.
“It’s nothing, Teacher. There’s no need for that.”
“How can you say that? To be honest, quite a few students here are just spoiled brats. Before leaving, I saw several of them looking at you with bad intentions.”
“Oh, Teacher, I’m not afraid of them at all. I’m pretty strong myself!”
Vellandelle smiled.
Vivilian looked at the young girl in front of her and couldn’t help but smile as well.
“You, little one?”
“Don’t underestimate me, Teacher!”
“All right, all right, I get it. I just wanted to say—if you run into any trouble, come find me, okay?”
“Thank you, Teacher. I understand.”
Vellandelle nodded, her goodwill toward Vivilian instantly rising.
She really was a good teacher, caring so much for her students.
“Mellow, was there anything in class you didn’t understand?”
Vivilian moved on to questions about the lesson.
As Vellandelle thought about it, she realized this was her chance to learn some Spells.
Sorry, Teacher.
To get stronger, I’ll have to take advantage of your kindness.
“Well, Teacher, I understood what you taught, but…”
Vellandelle pretended to look troubled, which only made Vivilian more concerned.
She took Vellandelle’s hand and spoke gently.
“Whatever it is, just tell me. Teacher will help you.”
“Teacher, as you know, I’ve never learned Magic before, so I’ve never tried casting Magic either. Could you teach me a few Spells? I’ll definitely repay you in the future.”
“Silly child, there’s no need for you to repay me. I’ll teach you a few simple and practical Spells. Learn these first.”
“Mm-hmm.”
“……”
In less than a moment, Vellandelle had mastered the five basic Spells Vivilian taught her.
It was surprising, but not impossible.
It just showed that Vellandelle had great Magic talent.
“Teacher, these Spells are too weak. Are there any harder ones?”
“Haha, you little rascal. Then I’ll teach you something more difficult.”
With that, Vivilian thought up a few higher-level Spells.
However, in less than ten minutes, Vellandelle had easily learned them too.
“Teacher, this is too simple! Are there any harder ones? Or more powerful?”
Vivilian stood frozen.
She felt that something wasn’t quite right…
