Chapter 1521: Chapter 1027 Mutual Learning
For Frieren, this is also a two-way learning process.
After all, her world and the modern world are so different that she doesn’t recognize a lot of things. Liliath and Mary need to teach her slowly, but as a Great Demon Mage, Frieren has a very sharp mind. Without spending much effort, she quickly figured out the uses of many things.
For example, a TV is a device for watching things happening from afar, a mobile phone is a device for contacting others anyti and anywhere, etc…
But for Frieren, this obviously wasn’t enough, so next she had more questions.
“Since the people of this world don’t have magic, how did they create these things?”
“Well…”
Faced with Frieren’s very natural inquiry, Liliath, Naruse Mio, and Mary were dumbfounded. They only knew how to use these things, but as for the principles… they didn’t understand either!
So Frieren went to find Duanmu Huai, and as expected, Duanmu Huai didn’t understand either.
But no problem, he directly went to a bookstore and bought a book called “One Hundred Thousand Whys,” and tossed it to Frieren—Find out slowly yourself.
Then Frieren began flipping through “One Hundred Thousand Whys.” First, she wanted to know why a mobile phone can make calls without magic, how is it transmitted?
Oh, found it, a mobile phone transmits by receiving signals.
Then what is a mobile phone signal?
Flipping further, a mobile phone signal is a type of electromagnetic wave—Well, okay, so what is an electromagnetic wave then?
A few days later, when Duanmu Huai returned, the “One Hundred Thousand Whys” in Frieren’s hands had already been replaced with “Foundations of Classical Physics”……
“Are you planning to take graduate school exams?”
Seeing Frieren holding this hefty to sitting by the window, enjoying her coffee while reading, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but tease.
“What’s graduate school exam? But this is indeed very interesting, it turns out that even without magic, humans can understand the world through other ans…… Well, many of these creative ideas are enlightening for too.”
“Well…… alright then, as long as you like it.”
Duanmu Huai shrugged and then looked over at Naruse Mio sitting on the sofa.
“How’s the learning progress over there?”
“Magic is based on imagination, but she limits herself too much.”
Though she appeared to be slacking off, Frieren was serious when it was ti to work.
“Her strength is indeed powerful, but her inner self limits the use of this strength, hence she’s unable to use it properly.”
“Really?”
Upon hearing Frieren’s answer, Duanmu Huai glanced at Naruse Mio, the latter instantly slumping onto the sofa.
“But it’s really difficult, how can I possibly do such things…… Miss Frieren is too demanding…”
“What did you make her do?”
“I simply asked her to mimic that move from the TV—The technique called Jibaku Tensei in the cartoon.”
“But that’s a move from ani, how can it be done in reality!”
Naruse Mio imdiately protested, and hearing this, Duanmu Huai understood.
“So, you think ani is ani, reality is reality?”
No wonder Frieren said Naruse Mio limits the use of her strength, it’s clear that what’s restricting Naruse Mio is the shackle known as ‘common sense.’ After all, the human magic system is based on ‘imagination,’ if you don’t conceive it, it can’t possibly work, right?
“Yeah, ani and reality are completely different, okay……”
“I feel they’re nearly the sa.”
Frieren nodded, and Duanmu Huai looked at Naruse Mio confusedly.
“Indeed, I think so too, how is your current life different from ani?”
“Eh? Really?”
“Of course, look at all the demons, nightmares, fallen angels, these are things you previously only saw in ani and gas. Now they appear around you, and you still have the nerve to complain that ani and reality are different?”
“This……”
Upon hearing this, Naruse Mio was struck as if by lightning, suddenly freezing on the spot.
“…… It really seems that way?”
“See, like this.”
Duanmu Huai said this while raising his hand to cover half of his face.
“My na is the Pitch-Black Fla Master! The world, be engulfed by pitch-black flas!”
“………”
“How’s it? Any thoughts?”
“Uh…… Uncle, that’s so cringe, so embarrassing……”
With a complex expression, Naruse Mio looked at Duanmu Huai striking a chuunibyou pose, montarily not knowing what to say.
“How about this then?”
Duanmu Huai moved around a bit, then suddenly his body shook, and pitch-black Predetermined Death flas erupted from him, he then stretched out his hand.
“My na is the Pitch-Black Fla Master! The world, be engulfed by pitch-black flas!”
Along with Duanmu Huai’s shout, black flas instantly erupted from his body, frightening Naruse Mio into quickly shrinking back—fortunately Duanmu Huai imdiately snapped his fingers, retracting the flas.
“Now how do you feel?”
“Oh… so, so scary…”
“Why did you think the sa line was cheesy earlier, but now you find it scary?”
“This…”
“It’s simple, really.”
Duanmu Huai spread his hands in a carefree manner, smiling at Naruse Mio.
“If you don’t have any strength and just strike a pose, that’s called cheesy. But if you do have strength, then it becos reality. So really, what’s there to be embarrassed about? You can easily say sothing like, ‘Explode, reality! Shatter, spirit! Exile this world!’ or sothing like that…”
“Ah, it sounds so embarrassing… really embarrassing!”
“But you can definitely do it.”
“Eh? Can I really do it?”
Naruse Mio, her face burning with embarrassnt, was having trouble processing it, while Frieren, beside her, flipped a page of her book and nodded.
“Indeed, theoretically speaking, you can destroy this space and banish the enemy to a plane outside this world… so what Mr. Duanmu said makes so sense.”
“So, you should also think it through carefully.”
Duanmu Huai stared at Naruse Mio with a sigh.
“You subconsciously still think of yourself as an ordinary high school student, but in reality, you are soone who has inherited the bloodline of Superior Demon Aristocrats — haven’t you realized that this setting itself is already quite cheesy? You don’t regard your own existence as embarrassing, do you!”
“Waaaahhhhhhh!!”
At this mont, Naruse Mio’s face turned bright red with embarrassnt, burying her head in the sofa like an ostrich and wriggling desperately.
“Stop it, Uncle! Stop saying it ahhhhhh!!!”
“Therefore, we need to start by correcting Lord Mio’s ntality!”
This ti, Banriya eagerly joined in, holding up a DVD with excitent.
“Lord Mio, don’t worry, I’ve got a teaching material for you. It’s a story about a normal girl who gains magical powers and fights evil, improving her strength alongside her loved ones, and finally defeating evil to achieve victory — Super High O Ninja! It’s a masterpiece from a renowned creator and my prized collection… I’m sure it’ll be helpful for your growth…!”
“Shut your mouth.”
Duanmu Huai directly confiscated the DVD from Banriya’s hand; judging by the cover, it’s definitely sothing inappropriate for her age, and it was unclear where she had acquired it.
“Ah, Lord Duanmu, do you want it? Then I’ll give it to you! I bought three sets; it’s for proselytizing!”
“…”
There’s really no saving this perverted Nightmare loli.
“But this direction isn’t entirely wrong.”
Duanmu Huai looked at Naruse Mio.
“You should also watch more animation, play gas; it might help with your current situation.”
“Is that so?”
Naruse Mio, hearing Duanmu Huai’s suggestion, found it hard to accept; after all, she wasn’t really a nerd, and her interest in animation was only that of an ordinary person. Now, being asked to dive into it, she instinctively resisted. But Duanmu Huai was indifferent; he had realized that if Naruse Mio couldn’t let her imagination loose, her powers wouldn’t be wielded effectively.
Embrace the cheesiness, it’s better than being dead.
“Of course, your issue now is that reality is constraining your imagination, so you’re unable to wield magic effectively. I’m not asking you to beco so lunatic with a cheesy syndro, but you need awareness that you’re different from those cheesy ones; they are rely superficial, whereas you truly possess abilities they yearn for but can’t obtain…”
“Oh… okay.”
After hesitating for a mont at Duanmu Huai’s words, Naruse Mio decided resolutely and nodded.
“I’ll do my best to try.”
Watching Naruse Mio, with the look of stepping into a college entrance exam hall, go back to her room to watch animations and play gas, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders. Just then, his phone rang, and Duanmu Huai opened it to see a ssage from Aiko coming from LONE.
“Uncle, Uncle, do you have ti? Wanna hang out?”
Hmm…
Duanmu Huai looked at Aiko’s ssage, thought for a mont, and then glanced around. The Elf Magician had already irreversibly chosen the path of graduate school, Banriya followed Naruse Mio to her room, Mary was practicing piano in the music room, Liliath went back to the Devil World…
Since there’s nothing to do, let’s go out for a walk.
So, Duanmu Huai quickly replied.
“No problem, where to?”
“See you at our usual spot, I have a surprise for you.”
A surprise? What kind of surprise?
With questions in mind, Duanmu Huai went to the fast-food restaurant next to the entertainnt street where he usually t Aiko.
“Ah, Uncle, over here!”
Seeing Duanmu Huai walk into the restaurant, Aiko stood up and waved at him. He nodded slightly and then walked over.
“Yo, Aiko, it’s rare for you to arrive so early… Who’s this?”
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai looked at the girl beside Aiko, who had short, shoulder-length black hair and a petite fra.
“Hehehe…”
Aiko giggled at Duanmu Huai’s question, placing a hand on the girl’s shoulder next to her.
“That’s the surprise I have for you!”
