He obviously knew Ultraman, but seeing Xue Dili's serious expression, he didn't retort and instead put down the manuscript, beginning to seriously watch what he had previously thought was just a kids' tokusatsu show.
After all, if it was related to magic, he felt he could loop In the Night Garden for 24 hours without any issues.
"Do you want to know the limits of the Holy Light Technique?" Xue Dili asked the mystic scholar in front of him.
"Holy Light Technique..." he murmured, looking at the tokusatsu silhouette that appeared in his hand, his expression suddenly turning excited, "Could it be..."
"Yes, you're correct, the Holy Light Technique, although the most basic light magic, can be said to be one of the strongest abilities if developed to the extre, and the pinnacle of light magic lies in those stories you used to overlook, the ones ant for children." Xue Dili pointed to the phone.
"Watch more tokusatsu, I won't be providing you any more magic, but the Holy Light Technique is the most versatile magic; it depends on how far you can develop it."
Having said that, he didn't wait for the old mystic scholar to say more and left his Magic Academy directly.
Looking at the empty school, then at the tokusatsu show in his hand.
"The limit of light magic!" He no longer imrsed himself in Old Watson's manuscript but seriously began watching the tokusatsu show in his hand.
Since that god-like predecessor advised him to watch more tokusatsu, there must be a reason behind it.
...
When Xue Dili arrived at the campus gate again today, as expected, the line in front of the food stall was even longer; while yesterday, it was just over a dozen people, today, it was nearly reaching the curb.
Xue Dili marveled at it, also acknowledging that the two female knight sisters were diligent. Despite Silver Country not being in an urgent financial situation after receiving two million in support, they still set up stalls to sell pancakes here.
Perhaps for them, this pancake-selling and live broadcasting business was much more interesting than their previous life, and coupled with the effort to support Silver Country's restoration plan, they might indeed strive to do well in this trade.
And for the Princess of Silver Country, being able to earn over ten thousand a day to supplent the financial chain was quite satisfactory, and a bit of encouragent from the Little Princess might an more to them than anything else. It seed as though the decades of hard training in martial arts had finally paid off.
Xue Dili looked at their hands, though they were fairy tale world female knights, their hands were rough, deford and twisted from handling heavy weapons over the long term, and now those hands used for battle and martial arts were used for making pancakes, perhaps the best outco.
They seed to notice Xue Dili out of the corner of their eyes, opened their mouths as if to speak, but quickly closed them, yet still secretly gave Xue Dili a knight's salute.
When selling pancakes, no need to rigidly adhere to protocol, it's not as if you're pancake knights.
Xue Dili nodded, like an old official inspecting subordinates, and walked back to the school.
Perhaps combining theory and practice, this bunch of bumpkins from the Otherworld might integrate their theoretical knowledge from Enlightennt at Longchang with labor to create a genuinely new thought of their own.
And no longer maintaining a primitive mindset, stuck in a feudal serfdom era.
In fact, Xue Dili enjoyed seeing this transformation of Silver Country's people into working-class individuals, whether it was the Little Princess holding a rake cleaning weeds, or female knights making pancakes, or old mages farming and repairing roads, with the Knight Commander turned into a busy hauler...
This was true transformation, not the kind of occupation, restoration, marriage alliances, tributes like a feudal serf shouting wherever they went.
Returning to school, Xue Dili started his ordinary day as a university student.
Taking clinical dicine courses with dical departnt classmates, joining a fire safety class in the afternoon, and the last class was either in English or ideological and moral cultivation.
Today, that senior sister nad Lian Shan "coincidently" bumped into him once more, recounting many events that happened with their band.
Because soone in the band passed away leading to its dissolution, she seed to have had difficulty finding a listening ear and found Xue Dili.
Xue Dili: "..."
It was apparent that Senior Sister Lian Shan didn't want the band to disband, as she always hoped to salvage their band, as even though it was just a hobby, this little band was among the few dreams and joys they had in their spare ti.
She spoke of how the band had to have soone else replace the lead singer because of the lead singer's passing, which caused trendous issues with harmony. Plus, so band mbers seed to have real-life family problems, so beca so emotionally unstable it was like they had schizophrenia, and others appeared obsessive-compulsive, insisting that others perform according to their idea...
In summary: none of them act like normal people.
Listening to the senior sister's complaints, Xue Dili even thought maybe disbanding the band would be for the best as working with such "divine beings" seed unlikely to succeed.
However, he did not voice his thoughts, choosing instead to listen quietly and acknowledging occasionally to show he was attentive and not distracted.
"Tonight we will be performing in the auditorium, would you like to co and listen?" she asked.
Xue Dili: "..."
In the evening, he might watch tokusatsu series with an old man from a Parallel World, and then discuss the feasibility of turning skills from these series into modern Magic.
"Maybe," Xue Dili said casually, "I don't know if there's an evening study session."
"Hmm, well, if you have ti, you must co by. I think having an audience might encourage them to play better."
Xue Dili didn't pay much attention to this small episode. In the evening, he could be both an audience mber and watch tokusatsu series with the old man.
Checking the Consciousness Space, the Mystic Scholar began to rub a light ball. Indeed, Xue Dili knew his thoughts. It was the sa experience he had when he first learned the Holy Light Technique. And now, seeing another person also starting to rub a light ball and even studying whether light could form a physical cut, his lips curled up, feeling a distinct "sense of pleasure."
Old scholar, you didn't disappoint after all. Let's study the Spacium Beam together today.
As for the band? Xue Dili directly sent a ssage that he had other things to do tonight. Besides, the band should disband sooner for relief; there's no need to torture oneself and one's teammates.
...
"Indeed, your idea is correct; the application of light is beyond my imagination!" The old Mystic Scholar excitedly watched the light in his hand start to rotate as if it were tangible. He imdiately felt an indescribable pleasure.
Imagination, using Magic requires imagination!
The power of Magic is indeed completely different from Mysticism. According to modern scientific explanations, Mysticism is like a trick, more about deception and the use of props, but Magic is truly the mastery of energy.
Energy is entirely in your hands. As long as you control the force sufficiently, you can even shape the energy into any form you desire.
"So, my understanding is that the control of Magic should not be limited to the sole manifestation of Magic. The change of energy properties and the transformation of forms are also extrely important courses," Xue Dili said, and an Eight-Section Light Wheel appeared in his hand, also rotating.
Compared to the old Mystic Scholar's light, which was just rotating animation, Xue Dili's Eight-Section Light Wheel could intricately slice a Super Beast into minced at.
"The so-called change of properties is to give Magic more properties. For example, besides 'brightness,' light also has the property of transmitting heat, so using light as the main thod of lethality is thermal cutting," Xue Dili casually used Fantasy Materialization to create a stone, which the Eight-Section Light Wheel easily cut open.
"And the transformation of forms is to change the external manifestation of energy into a form more suitable for your release and use, like just now, which mimicked the 'Eight-Section Light Wheel,' similar in principle to a chainsaw."
The old Mystic Scholar frantically took notes; this magical knowledge was invaluable to him. These days, he didn't know if his veins carried blood or adrenaline. In any case, he had no intention of resting for a mont now.
Xue Dili wanted to give the old Mystic Scholar a hint, to see if he could develop a light technique similar to "Spacium."
Xue Dili was now good at light cutting, but developing a laser-like beam had always been at an impasse.
"By the way, do you still rember 'Qijela'?" Xue Dili asked his question.
"Qijela? The ancient plant that can be addictive?" the old Mystic Scholar replied, seemingly catching on to Xue Dili's joke.
"Never mind." Xue Dili realized he wasn't lying. It seems this Mystic Scholar forgot many mories, including why he went to Salem Town.
...
In the evening, Xue Dili dread of more of his mories.
And, very strange content...
In the old Mystic Scholar's mory, he saw himself!
He saw "Xue Dili," a clinical dicine graduate student at Boston University, who exchanged so mystic biological knowledge with the "Research Institute Xue Dili" in the old Mystic Scholar's mory.
Xue Dili then guessed that it might be his Parallel World self. If he hadn't stepped into the extraordinary field, his future might have been as a bona fide professional doctor, studying abroad...
However, in the old Mystic Scholar's mory, the other world's Xue Dili seed to also have one foot ready to step into the field of Mysticism.
But the Xue Dili of the other world only appeared for a mont in his mory. Soon, Xue Dili saw the content he wanted.
Regarding the subsequent research in Salem Town, Xue Dili saw those mystics' mad research into Qijela's roots. Upon successfully discovering its magic power, it spiraled out of control.
They began to try transplanting Qijela's roots into animals, creating half-animal, half-plant "monsters." These monsters could also photosynthesize and use magic power primitively.
Xue Dili: "..."
Then, as if unsatisfied, they tried transplanting it onto themselves, letting themselves grow so plant roots and structures, aiming to obtain "magic power," gradually becoming "plants."
It's over, it's already concluded.
