On the next day, Emil thought that Anne would officially teach him magic, but she still took out several small pieces of paper and asked Emil to inject magic.

There were more pieces of paper this time, roughly estimated to be a thousand pieces. Emil did not feel tired after finishing the more than a hundred pieces before, but this is not necessarily true for such a large amount.

Emil couldn't help but doubt Anne's motives even more, but he didn't complain. After all, Anne had saved him several times, so it was understandable that he would use his strength.

In the end, it took him half a day to finally inject all the small pieces of paper with sufficient magic power, and the result was as expected. He felt like he was about to collapse. Fortunately, when Annie came to check the results, she used magic to help him recover.

"Well, it turns out this is your limit." Anne nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, Teacher Anne, when can you teach me magic?" Emil couldn't help but ask.

"...Oh, didn't you agree to it yesterday? Don't call me teacher," Annie held her forehead helplessly, and then said, "I told you not to worry, you know when I was learning magic..."

Later, Anne told a lot of her own experiences. Although Emil was a little impatient, he had no choice but to listen carefully and did not dare to complain at all.

In this way, a few more days passed, during which Anne only asked him to do one thing, and that was to inject magic into her little piece of paper.

And every time Emil couldn't hold himself back and wanted to express the doubts in his heart, Anne would always change the subject in a timely manner, and the matter of learning magic would be dropped.

Such days lasted for half a month, and Emil mentally counted the number of small pieces of paper prepared for Anne. If she had not used them during this period, there would have been at least more than fifteen thousand.

But looking at Anne, it seemed that she hadn't given up. Finally one day, Emil went on strike. No matter what, he wanted to know the reason why Anne kept doing this.

"...Well, Teacher Anne, I have a question that I have been keeping in my heart," Emil tried his best to hide his dissatisfaction and said seriously, "If it is not resolved, I think my future training will also be affected.

"

"Well, you go ahead." Unexpectedly, Anne stopped changing the subject.

"You have so many small pieces of paper now that you can't even fit them in your pockets. Why do you continue to prepare them?"

"No," Anne shook her head and explained, "My pocket has been treated with magic. It is similar to a magic prop. If you insist on it, it is almost the same as the ring you wear with Lilith, let alone more than 10,000.

If you open it up, you can hold it for tens of millions."

"Oh, but have you noticed that I have been doing this for nearly half a month, can I really be stronger than you in the next time?" Emil expressed his worries.

However, Anne still looked indifferent.

"Don't worry, I've lied to you before."

"I'm sorry, Anne, I'm afraid I can't trust you anymore," Emil had to become serious, "If you don't tell me your true purpose, I won't learn magic anymore."

"This..." Annie hesitated, but finally compromised, "Oh, you won, I really can't do anything to you."

Emil finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. The emotions he had suppressed for so many days were finally released.

"It's like this. On the one hand, this can train your magic recovery ability, just like physical strength. As long as you train regularly, the magic power reserves in your body will become more and more. On the other hand, I really need so many small ones.

Pieces of paper, used to repair my alien space."

"What?" Emil opened his eyes wide. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

"To be honest, after teleporting the Dark Knight to another space, I thought I could easily kill her. After all, I had absolute control over that world. But then I found out that she made a big fuss there and destroyed the entire space.

It was riddled with holes. If the gap hadn't been too small, she would have escaped long ago, so I immediately decided to use all my strength to eliminate her, but it failed in the end. She used hurricane force to create a spherical shield. Look.

She is indestructible, and my attacks are completely useless against her."

"Well, since it is caused by wind, then you can completely drain the air in the different space, so that the wind will no longer blow."

"It still doesn't work. I tried it. The shield is the same as my other space. It exists independently of that world."

"I see."

Only then did Emil understand the problem Anne was facing, and he couldn't help but feel guilty for having misunderstood Anne before.

"Then what do you do next?"

"Don't worry. Although I can't kill her for the time being, she can't escape either. She's just afraid of everything. Maybe one day she finds out that I'm not here, and then the gap in the different space becomes wider, and she will escape.

.”

"Okay, how many more small pieces of paper do you need? I will inject magic into you as soon as possible."

"Well, let me think about it...it's probably still 10,000 short, and it will take ten days."

"Ah this..."

Emil was dumbfounded because he didn't have any time to learn magic.

"Haha, you're not worried again, are you?" Anne looked at his face and immediately saw the clues.

"You won't believe me if I tell you there's no rush."

"Oh, indeed," Anne smiled bitterly, then patted her chest and said, "Although I can't do anything well, my only advantage is that I always keep my word. I said I want you to surpass me, and I will definitely do it.

arrive."

Emil looked into Anne's eyes, and after a while, he finally chose to believe it, because he could see that Anne was full of confidence in this matter.

After that, Emil helped Anne prepare small pieces of paper honestly until the last five days of the agreed deadline, and there were only a few days before they set off to defeat the demons, and Anne was finally going to officially teach him magic.

"First of all, for a magician, drawing a magic circle is the most basic ability. If talent testing is the first threshold for learning magic, then drawing a magic circle is the second."

"Yes." Emil nodded seriously.

"Then you can use the magic circle to release an ordinary magic." Annie took out a booklet from her pocket.

After Emil took it, he flipped through it and found that there were more than a dozen pages. Each page had a standard magic circle drawn on it, and there were many small words for explanation next to it.

"Do you want me to choose just one?"

"Well, pick whatever you want, they are all the most basic magic."

Emil nodded and began to search. As a beginner, he felt that he should find something simpler, so he showed Anne the magic circle he was interested in.

"Well," Anne said with a confused expression, "This is too simple, it's not difficult at all. If you, as my student, learn such simple things, you will definitely be laughed at by others."

"Haha, let's be honest, you really think of yourself as a teacher." Emil couldn't help but joke.

However, Anne looked serious and drew a rather complicated magic circle out of thin air. Emil immediately felt that his mouth was sealed and his throat felt a burning sensation.

"..."

"Humph, this is disrespecting the teacher...ah, what will happen if you disrespect the witch." Annie put her hands on her hips and said angrily.

Emil quickly made a gesture of begging for mercy, and then Anne gave up.

"Okay, let's continue. Anyway, this one is too simple and we have to change it."

Emil continued to rummage, and several of the ones he chose later, Anne said were too simple.

He couldn't help but want to complain. Since he was not satisfied with so many options, why let him choose by himself?

"Yes, how about the magic you just told me to shut up?" Emil suddenly had an idea.

"Well, you can, but it's of no use."

"It doesn't matter. Why don't you let me do it as a practice? There is no need to consider actual combat."

"Oh, that's true." Anne agreed.

Then, she drew the magic circle on the ground. The outermost part was a perfect circle, and a small circle was drawn inside. There were many unexplained words written between the two circles, and the center of the magic circle was

It is an indescribable thing composed of various geometric figures.

Although it looks a bit complicated, it is not difficult to copy under Anne's careful guidance.

Finally, Emil followed her and drew the magic circle stroke by stroke, but it looked crooked, the two circles were completely irregular, and some of the strokes were not drawn correctly.

But Anne had no objection, and instead signaled him to inject magic into it to release the magic.

"Ah, by the way, you have to specify the target before releasing the magic, otherwise, the magic will be lost."

"Then I can only offend you, Teacher Anne."

"Tsk, be careful I can counter your magic." Anne became angry again after hearing what he said.

Next, the magic was released smoothly, and as a faint blue light flashed, Annie could not open her mouth.

However, even though the first practice was successful, the light did not disappear. Instead, it flew above the two people's heads and turned into something like a crack.

Immediately afterwards, the crack widened, and a dark figure emerged from inside.

Because the thing moved so fast, Emil couldn't even see what it was until Anne took action. She skillfully conjured a wand and then hit the thing hard, instantly turning it into a pool of green goo.

Thick liquid.

"Hey, that's disgusting. Now my wand is useless." Annie frowned.

"What the hell is this?"

"It's okay, it's just a side effect of the abnormal release of magic. However, if you are touched by this thing, your body will be corroded, and it is possible that it will eventually spread to the whole body." Anne said lightly.

"...No, this can still be considered nothing," Emil couldn't help complaining, and then felt frustrated, "So I failed just now, right? And it put us all in danger."

"Well, strictly speaking, it's not a failure. It's just because the magic circle is not drawn to a standard. Just pay more attention next time."

"Don't say it so easily, okay? If you hadn't taken action in time just now, I would have to pay attention to it in the next life." Emil said with a wry smile.

"It was indeed dangerous just now, but you don't need to care too much. As a senior magician, I still have this skill. And after this incident, you are more impressed, right?"

Emil knew that Anne was trying to comfort him. Since even the teacher had said this, he was embarrassed to continue to delve deeper.

"So, in order to prevent you from making this kind of mistake again in the future, I want you to copy this magic circle a hundred times. Do you understand me clearly?" Anne immediately assumed the attitude of a teacher.

Emil discovered that at this time Anne no longer resisted being his teacher.

"Yes, I heard you clearly."

In the next five days, Emil has been studying the magic taught to him by Anne very seriously. Because of this motivation, he quickly learned ten basic magics. But with the blessing of the magic pill, he released

The basic magic produced is not inferior to those of high-level magic.

Finally, at his request, Anne taught him her favorite teleportation magic and said that he could also use Anne's different space.

After all the teachings were completed, Annie said goodbye to him temporarily, because she would then return to the organization to discuss the demon intelligence obtained so far with her sisters.
