Chapter 236: A Rare Talent in the World
"It seems that it is not easy for you, Teacher, to get the title of Mentor."
Feeling Cecil's distress as if she was being pushed to get married, Ariel sighed as if she was feeling the same.
"Who says it's not the case? Originally, I was living a good life. I went to class every day, fished, and studied magic. I really didn't want to live a carefree life."
The beautiful woman held her forehead and sighed, as if she was still lamenting her good old days. But this look of nostalgia did not last long, and she soon showed a look of gritted teeth.
"But it's all that stinky old man's fault for insisting on making me a 'Fire Mentor'. Otherwise, I would still be living my good life. How could there be so much trouble?"
"Huhu - the only one who can cure you, teacher, is the dean."
The girl couldn't help but smile and joked.
After the two of them chatted for a long time, Cecil's thoughts wandered to an unknown distance. Finally she got back on track, and she remembered the reason why Ariel had come back before.
So he opened the topic with some curiosity and asked.
"By the way, didn't you just say that you came back to the academy because of that little girl? What's wrong, are you planning to put her into our academy for further study?"
Her words are certainly not groundless. In fact, many powerful and powerful people have the habit of sending their children to the Tower Academy for further education.
For example, Ariel also took this path in the past. Of course, she was extremely talented and could enroll in school even if she didn't take the noble route.
The same is true for her former good sister Lucy. She is just one of those many aristocratic children with ordinary talents.
A noble child with such a magical talent, or even no magical talent at all.
They will also be sent to the academy for further study after spending a lot of resources. After all, talent does not completely determine whether you can learn magic well. Many powerful people also have a trial mentality.
It's good for your children to learn something famous in the academy, even if they don't learn anything too great. But at least they still have a good academic background. This is what is often called gold plating.
After all, they are all dignitaries of the empire, and they basically have some family conditions, and their families are not short of money and resources.
As for the Nine-Story Tower Academy, do you have any objections to this? Of course, it is impossible to have any objections. Anyway, teaching one person is teaching, and teaching a group is also teaching.
What's more, there are people who will give you a lot of money, so why not do it? As long as the college and teachers can stick to their own bottom line and not be corrupted by money and power.
Then these things are really nothing.
So it's no wonder that Cecil thought Ariel was the same and wanted to trick someone into entering the academy. After all, considering the age of the girl Anna, this was the only possibility.
Of course, this kind of thing is just a piece of cake for her. Even if other powerful people are willing to pay a big price to let her have people, she will happily accept it and agree to it.
After all, as her current flame mentor, this is just a matter of words.
"That's just one aspect. It is naturally necessary for this little girl to go to school to supplement her magic foundation. But actually, there is a more important thing about her..."
However, the girl's words were somewhat beyond Cecil's expectations.
She was a little confused and looked at the girl carefully again, but she really couldn't tell. What could be more important in such a little girl?
"And don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. Since I recommended it to you, it's obvious that in terms of magic talent, you can be considered a genius at least in both big and small ways."
Seeing her confused look, Ariel felt quite proud and pulled Anna to stand in front of her. The timid little girl faced the woman's appraising eyes.
He suddenly became even more nervous. For a moment, he stood up straight with his thin body tense, as if he was afraid of leaving a bad impression on the other party.
The girl's nervous and timid look made Cecil couldn't help but feel a little funny. He also felt a little protective in his heart, nodded and continued.
"Well, since she has good magic qualifications, there will be no problem in enrolling for further study. But what you just said... is the more important thing?"
"Um……"
Ariel pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then suggested it out of caution.
"Be careful, just in case...Teacher, you'd better turn on the magic circle at home."
"Oh? Is this so serious?"
The girl's cautious approach to the girl also greatly increased Cecil's curiosity. According to words, he opened all the magic circles set up in the manor.
It didn’t take long for this seemingly luxurious manor to turn into a magical fortress built with various magic arrays!
"Okay, now you can finally talk, right? Now, except for some unscrupulous old man who likes to spy, no one can spy on our conversation in this house."
"Um……"
Ariel nodded, pondered for a moment and then said.
"Teacher, you have been teaching for so many years, and I believe you have a broader knowledge of magic than I do. I would like to ask you a question. Among the many mysterious magic departments, is there a department of 'chaos'?"
"What did you say?"
Cecil seemed to think that he had heard wrongly for a moment.
"Teacher, have you ever heard of other magic in the 'Chaos' department?"
The girl raised her eyebrows and asked again.
"emmm... there is no image, please let me think about it."
After confirming that she heard correctly, Cecil frowned and began to think. However, even though she pondered for a long time, she still had no results. In the end, she could only sigh and shake her head.
Then she looked at the girl beside her, Anna, with a hint of curiosity and inquiry in her eyes.
"Is there really an existence with affinity for magic of this type? 'Chaos'... Why do I never seem to have heard of it. Do you mind letting me check your body? Little sister."
Her last words were naturally meant for Anna, and after thinking about it again to no avail, the woman, whose curiosity was aroused, planned to experience this talent she had never heard of by herself.
But even when Cecil spoke, he tried his best to show a kind smile. But when the girl who still didn't trust him heard the words, she still looked at the girl Ariel first.
"Okay...ok."
Seeing her nodding in confirmation, she lowered her head in a low voice. The girl was obviously sensitive. She trusted her sister Ariel more than the authoritative but unfamiliar mentor in front of her.
Naturally, the little girl's little moves couldn't be hidden from Cecil, but he didn't care about them. After getting the accurate answer, she reached out and touched Anna's little head out of curiosity.
Intangible and qualityless spiritual power, but with an ability of perception beyond imagination. Under the detection of her spiritual power, the girl suddenly felt the sense of oppression and being spied on again.
It was as if his whole body, inside and out, had been seen by the other party, and he had no secrets left in front of her.
It was Anna's amazing willpower that allowed her to resist the shame of being seen through. But strictly speaking, her feeling was just human vigilance instinct.
Even the mental power detection of a legendary powerhouse cannot truly see through the inside and outside. This is just a perception function to detect the physical and mental status of the opponent.
In short, it is similar to the current X-ray. It can see through, but it is not that kind of see-through.
Normally speaking, in fact, if you just simply check a person's magic qualifications, you will not use mental power to detect it so directly. After all, if it is a stranger, it will be somewhat offensive.
Therefore, in the magic world, there is a simpler and more common technology, which is the familiar crystal ball.
However, the disadvantage of simplicity and simplicity is that it is relatively rigid in system exploration. Naturally, it is impossible to directly use mental power to detect it carefully and effectively.
"This level of intimacy...it seems that you didn't lie to me, little Ellie, you are really talented!"
At the moment when Anna's talent was truly discovered, even Cecil, who had expected it, couldn't help but show a look of joy. This might be a teacher's occupational disease.
When you see a child with extraordinary talents, you will inevitably feel a little bit happy, or in other words... cherish their talent.
"But... this type of talent and affinity seems to be darkness, right? I don't feel the confusion you mentioned... wait! This feeling is completely different from darkness..."
"Close to darkness, but more twisted and disordered..."
After muttering to himself, Cecil withdrew his mental power and opened his eyes that he had just closed. There was a hint of hesitation in his emerald green pupils.
"This is indeed a mysterious affinity system that I have never seen before. As you said, based on the characteristics displayed by this affinity, it can indeed be named 'Chaos'."
"I'll just say it's right!"
The girl couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her confirmation. Then she became concerned about Anna's inheritance, that is, whether there was any magic related to "chaos" in the academy's collection.
"Is there any inheritance book about 'Chaos Magic' in the academy?"
"I don't know about this. It's indeed the first time I've seen this kind of physique. But the academy's library contains countless magic books. I believe there might be something you want in it."
After finishing his words, Cecil thought of Ariel's solemn look just now. He raised his eyebrows and still felt a little uneasy, so he asked aloud.
"But...I still have a doubt."
As she spoke, she looked at Ariel suspiciously, always feeling that her favorite student seemed to be hiding something from her, she said slowly.
"Although the physique of 'chaos' is indeed extremely rare, it is still just a natural affinity. As for you to be so solemn about it, is there anything more important?"
Cecil's careless look just now disappeared at this moment. In her emerald green eyes, there was only a shrewdness that could not be ignored.
