Chapter 54 Agreement: 1 year
Chapter 54 Agreement: 1 year
At night, Dorothy, Leona, and Elor gathered together at Elor's house.
Elor held a spoon in her mouth and a fork in her left hand, drawing circles.
"Hmm, Dorothy's melee skills are actually pretty good too. She could learn some enhancement magic."
"I think Dorothy's magical power is so vast that she should make use of it to learn powerful and wide-ranging magic," Lyons had a different opinion.
Dorothy held her head in her hands and said nonchalantly, "I can learn them all."
Elor spat out the spoon, somewhat helplessly saying, "Learn everything? Can you keep up with the time and energy?"
Leonce nodded in agreement, agreeing with Elor's words.
"Greed is no good. With your current energy, learning so much magic won't do you any good."
Dorothy tapped her head with her finger, a smile on her face.
"What if I'm a genius?"
Moreover, Dorothy had her own plans.
The library contains many meditation techniques. By learning them one by one, your mastery of meditation techniques will become more and more advanced, and your magic power will increase faster.
Your own panel can integrate the skills you've learned.
The advantages of self-study are something Elor and Lyons could never have imagined.
Upon hearing this, Elor shrugged helplessly.
Leons replied helplessly, "Alright then, what are you planning to major in? And what are you planning to minor in?"
Dorothy stretched out her left hand, a small flame burning on her index finger.
"My major will naturally be elemental magic. Besides fire elemental magic, I will also strive to learn other elemental magic."
"If you're going to minor in something, alchemy would be a good choice. Runecrafting is also a branch of alchemy, right?"
Dorothy looked at Leonce.
Leons nodded and said, "That's right, enchanting, potions, and puppets all fall under the category of alchemy."
"Also, we're talking about which magic you choose to major in, not a specific category of magic. Before becoming an apprentice, there's necromancy and star magic. Are you going to learn all of them?"
Dorothy thought about it very seriously.
"That works too."
Elor "..."
Leonce "..."
Elor and Lyons were speechless for a moment, unsure of what to say.
Leonce felt a headache coming on and rubbed his temples.
"A person's energy is really limited. If you choose to learn everything, how will your magic proficiency increase? How will your magic level increase?"
"Even if you learn them all, without magic power, can you actually use these spells?"
After Leons finished speaking, Dorothy silently raised her hand.
"I think you two have forgotten one thing: my magical power is very high."
Leonce "..."
Elor "..."
Yes, the two of them really forgot.
To improve, a typical mage needs to cultivate meditation to gather magical power while simultaneously learning magic and increasing their magical proficiency.
Through years of accumulation, magic power breaks through bottlenecks, the mage's level increases, and magical proficiency improves, enabling the mage to unleash the power corresponding to their level. This is considered a breakthrough for the mage.
It's just that neither the practice of meditation nor the learning of magic has always gone smoothly.
If any of them encounters a bottleneck, then the level will be directly blocked.
This is also why Leona didn't have much hope for her future improvement.
However, Dorothy no longer needs to worry about magical powers.
All she needs to do is keep learning magic and improving her magic proficiency.
Of course, this is the opinion of Leonce and Elor.
In fact, Dorothy doesn't even need to consider magic proficiency.
The attribute points she's currently allocating are very biased, mainly because of the Lane and Blackwood families.
Dorothy couldn't allow the thought of Elor and Lyons being brought home as tools for finding a son-in-law or as bargaining chips for marriage alliances.
Elor shook his head again.
"Even if Dorothy's magical powers are fine, how will you improve your magical proficiency if you learn so many spells? You'll just learn one spell and immediately start learning the next, and you'll always be stuck at the apprentice level."
"You don't need to worry about that. I'm just very interested in magic, so I want to try it out. If I find it doesn't work, I'll stop immediately."
Dorothy raised her hands, trying to calm the two of them.
However, her attempts to comfort her did not have much effect.
Both Elor and Lyons wore expressions of worry.
Leons sighed. "It would be best if you could manage it yourself, but we'd better agree on a time. If it interferes with your normal training progress, then you should stop and follow my and Elor's arrangements, okay?"
"That's right, we need to make an agreement beforehand." Elor stood up, placed her hands on the dining table, and looked intently at Dorothy.
Dorothy looked at the two girls who cared so much. She knew her own family situation, but the other girls didn't.
And we really can't let them continue to worry about such trivial matters.
So Dorothy nodded in agreement.
"it is good."
As for the time limit.
After a brief discussion, the three decided to set the timeframe at one year.
In a year, at a normal learning pace, one can become proficient in and master two or three spells.
Dorothy originally wanted to extend the deadline by another year, but Leona felt it was inappropriate.
She believes that Dorothy's ability to quickly master the fireball spell demonstrates her exceptional learning speed.
Adding another year is simply an irresponsible waste of a year.
Whether as a friend or a teacher, she wouldn't allow it.
"Starting tomorrow, the first magic exam of next year will be the time limit. During this year, you are free to choose which magic courses to study, and we won't say anything more, but!"
Leonce held up her index finger, her face serious.
"If you haven't made any progress in magic by this time tomorrow, then you know what will happen."
Dorothy nodded. "Okay, it's a deal then."
Dinner is over.
Because of time constraints, Elor kept Leonce, who was about to leave, behind.
Dorothy tidied up the leftovers on the table, her ears perked up.
Leonce and Elor were standing at the door.
With a hint of shyness in her voice, Elor said, "Well, it's so late, why don't you stay the night?"
Leona looked down at Elor. "Elor..."
Elor turned her head away, avoiding Leon's gaze. "Ahem, don't get me wrong, we used to often stay overnight at each other's houses..."
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became.
Elor stomped her foot angrily and turned to close the door.
"Fine, if you're not planning to stay, then leave."
Leona reached out and stopped the door from closing halfway.
Her somewhat aloof voice rang in Elor's ears.
"I didn't say I was unwilling."
Dorothy stacked the cleaned-up plates, shaking her head as she carried them toward the kitchen.
"Tsk tsk tsk, don't stand at the door for too long, there are a lot of bugs outside in this weather."
Upon hearing Dorothy's voice, Elor blushed and turned to run towards her bedroom.
