Indeed, things like 'Harry Potter' on TV are all lies. Although magic does originate from the hands of gods, perhaps not from any proper god...
Or rather, what the Gray Magic Academy has shown so far is not proper magic.
Just the summoning rune carved on the magic altar in the basent of the safe house seems clearly inclined towards things like Hell and the Abyss.
Li Qing ca back to his senses, turned his head to look at the still-bright computer screen, and couldn't help but be stunned.
The current ti is the first day of the New Year, zero minutes past midnight.
That is to say, he had been at Gray Magic Academy for at least more than four hours, while during this period in reality, ti was instantly suspended?!
No, that's not right, the concept is reversed.
It should be that ti is almost stagnant in the mysterious realm of Gray Magic Academy; from entry to exit, not a single second has passed in the real world.
It doesn't belong to this world.
So there is another question, does magic exist in this world?
Li Qing indulged in a bit of wild thinking, finally sighed, ultimately knowing too little, and still needs further observation.
Moreover, those guys who entered Gray Magic Academy with him, none of them looked like good people.
Especially that Anna...
Li Qing squinted his eyes. It's been a long ti since he felt the presence of a life-threatening existence; if placed outside Gray Magic Academy, the other party would probably possess quite dangerous offensiveness.
He rubbed a fireball and began his regular ditation.
Four hours later, Li Qing opened his eyes full of energy. Since the light ball in his vision ford, beginning to emit a faint milky white glow, the entire silent and dark spiritual world seed to have a glimpse of light.
No longer feeling ntally drained as before when visualizing concise lines, on the contrary, every ti after ditation, both his ntal and physical state are filled with vitality.
For the next stage, he just needs to wait for the glow emitted by the light ball to begin scattering like starlight throughout the spiritual world, then he can start to produce a trace of magic power.
It has a bit of that "fake to true" appearance.
Unable to sleep, Li Qing took out his phone casually scrolling through his monts; as expected, a bunch of New Year monts, either showing off love or showcasing captions.
For Li Qing, it's like being an outsider, quietly watching these people celebrate wildly.
Sigh.
Born as a human, wandering aimlessly, quite sorry.
After briefly indulging in the lancholy of the internet, Li Qing tidied up his mood,
picked up the magic scroll from the floor for a look, and after binding it with the school badge, this magic scroll completely beca an e-book that can only read magic books.
The only thing that pleases Li Qing is that the Magic Beginner's Manual is still available for reading and study.
He reopened "Magic Theory" halfway through and started to study it ticulously. Just as he was engrossed, his phone suddenly buzzed.
Do Do~
Li Qing ca back to his senses, showing a trace of displeasure. What ssages are being sent in the middle of the night without sleeping?
Although reluctant to pick it up and look, deep down, he was a bit curious. It had been a long ti since soone sent him ssages in the middle of the night.
Picking it up and opening the phone, seeing the sender caused him to raise an eyebrow.
Luo Rui: Brother Qing, Happy New Year?/Silly Smile/Silly Smile!
Sowhat unexpectedly prepared to put the phone aside without replying, Luo Rui sent another ssage.
Luo Rui: I know you aren't asleep. If you don't reply, once the holiday is over, I'll definitely pester you all day, then question you endlessly. If you don't solve it, I'll give you the lowest satisfaction score in the departnt!!!
Li Qing paused for a mont, then replied.
"Happy New Year, rest early."
"Indifferent, ruthless~! Now I understand why you don't have a girlfriend yet."
Li Qing's expression shifted slightly.
"What do you an by that?"
"You instantly cut off the conversation, leaving the other party with no way to continue."
"Is that so."
"..."
Seeing Luo Rui not replying anymore, Li Qing nonchalantly put the phone aside, although Luo Rui is indeed cute, she's not his type; she's too young, seven years his junior, and quite advanced in the field of biology, said to be a star of the future.
As for him, he's just a very diocre person, even though he now possesses magic, being low-key as usual, Li Qing has no intention of showing off with it.
He worked tirelessly until the sky began to lighten with the fish-belly white of dawn. It was only then Li Qing lifted his head dazedly, seeing the first glimr of sunlight erging from the window, the whole city began to awaken, reviving with vibrant energy.
The day has broken.
Slightly reluctant, he put the scroll close for safekeeping, then stood up, stretching long, preparing to go out for breakfast.
Gray Magic Academy always opens at dawn for classes.
After going downstairs, looking at the bustling streets, the gloom lingering from Gray Magic Academy was swept away.
That place is a miracle, but the various things contained within it made his heart feel quite oppressed.
He found a breakfast shop randomly and ate a big bowl of noodles, feeling satisfied, Li Qing walked toward a nearby park.
He intended to take a walk, digest the food, and anwhile sort out the information collected so far.
From the current information, it's possible that Otherworldly Space-Ti indeed exists, and students recruited by Gray Magic Academy co from various worlds.
An alternative possibility is that although this world he lives in seems extrely peaceful on the surface, it harbors hidden dangers of various extraordinary powers.
However, judging from Anna's information-extraction talks, she's likely not from the sa world as him, and from the information revealed by Zhuang Xu, she might determine his world's coordinates from his true na, then launch an invasion.
This kind of power is a bit terrifying.
At the sa ti, Li Qing is even more astonished by the power Gray Magic Academy possesses; Gray seems to operate according to so-called 'academy rules', even the ntor Zhuang Xu can only entice students from Gray Magic Academy to commit violations through loopholes in order to act.
Is it a god, or a demon?
The understanding of magic in Li Qing's heart so far is still quite a vague concept, although the currently studied "Magic Theory" has given him so knowledge about the classification of magic, there is still much lacking.
What counts as magic is not the kind that controls ice or fire, no matter how profound your mastery of ice and fire, it's just the simplest form of energy manipulation.
Real magic is a miracle, involving rules, the law of cause and effect, and can even alter the initial laws of the cosmos; only this can be called magic.
Although the contents of "Magic Theory" are written with an extrely bold, bombastic style, Li Qing is only half-believing in it.
