Chapter 80

Ramaegion, the outskirts of town.

At this time, Shien had just walked out of the town and entered the sparsely populated outskirts. He even went into a small hill and found a rather spacious desert.

"It should be fine here, right?"

Sean looked around furtively, and then heaved a sigh of relief. He put aside the "Basic Studies of Magic" that he had been holding in his hand, and entered the center of the sand.

His purpose here was naturally to test out the use of magic.

Although he could have done it in the hotel, and there was no need to go to such a place, Shien did not forget the commotion he caused when he learned the [Demon Sword]. For safety's sake, he finally chose to come here.

"It feels like once bitten, twice shy."

Sean was also smiling bitterly to himself.

From the book, Shien learned a total of four types of elementary magic, which were also the only four types of elementary magic recorded in the book.

"According to the book, everyone is proficient in different types of magic. Even if you have the talent to become a Magician, you still need to find the most suitable magic system for yourself."

Some people were proficient in offensive magic.

Some people were proficient in defensive magic.

Some people were proficient in healing magic.

Some people were proficient in auxiliary magic.

Just like skills, the path of a Magician would be different depending on the Element they were good at. There would even be subdivisions of different Elements. For example, some people were good at Fire Magic, while others were good at Ice Magic. Each person's talent and ability would determine their future position, so they had to be treated with caution.

"Because magic training usually takes a lot of time, if you work too hard in the wrong direction, not only will you waste time, but you will also waste your talent and skill points. The gains do not make up for the losses."

Therefore, for a mage, other than the compulsory [Meditation] and [Chant], the first thing he should do was to find out what he was good at and avoid doing useless work.

For example, Merica was proficient in both fire and ice magic. She seemed to have the highest talent in these two types of magic, so she specialized in these two types of magic and had no intention of learning other types of magic.

On the other hand, Lésia seemed to be proficient in many other types of magic apart from spatial magic and gravity magic. It was unknown whether it was because she was too talented in magic or because of other reasons.

The four most basic and basic types of magic were recorded in the book. The purpose was to let people try out these four types of magic to determine the magic system they were proficient in.

"There are many types of magic, but among them, the magic that can show a clear attribute and direction is undoubtedly the easiest to learn and understand."

That was what the Fundamentals of Magic said.

In other words, among the many types of magic, attribute magic was the most suitable for beginners to learn.

The so-called elemental magic referred to the most common magic systems such as fire magic, ice magic, lightning magic, wind magic, and so on.

"Because magic with a clear attribute can easily change one's own mana when used, attribute magic has the lowest requirement for a Magician's talent, and the difficulty of learning and improving it is much lower than other types of magic."

Because of this, the book recorded a total of four basic elemental spells for beginners to learn: Fire Element, Ice Element, Lightning Element, and Wind Element.

By learning these four types of magic at the same time, one could have a preliminary understanding of the magic system they were most proficient in.

"After all, in the same amount of learning time, whichever magic can be mastered the fastest proves that the person has the highest talent and talent in that magic system."

Shien came here to try out these four basic types of magic.

"According to the book, as long as you learn [Meditation] and [Chant], you will be able to use one type of magic in a day or a month at the latest."

Shien thought back to the book, his mood was very complicated.

"A day or a month at the latest …?"

Hmm, it was better for him not to take it seriously.

At least, he was definitely not on this list.

Shien had reason to believe that his next performance could not be judged by these common sense.

"Let's begin."

Shien cleared his mind and turned himself into a ruthless machine to avoid being stimulated later.

Then, Sean reviewed the incantations of the four types of beginner magic that he had just learned while reaching his hand forward.

First, Shien tried the fire magic.

"— Burn, the crimson power of the devil —"

Chanting a short basic magic incantation, the mana in Shien's body began to change.

It first began to flow, then suddenly became hot, and then flowed to Shien's hand, turning into a red flame, burning from his palm.

"[Tinder]."

Shien used magic for the first time in his life.

But …

"Boom!"

In the empty sand, accompanied by a muffled explosion, a scorching wave of fire spewed out from Shien's palm, blowing up the sand in front of him, causing dust to fly.

In the sand, a scorched pit appeared.

The diameter of the pit was at least four meters.

[Obtained skill — [Magic – Fire] — Learn? ]

In the next second, Shien smoothly obtained his first magic skill.

However, looking at the scorched pit in front of him, Shien fell into a long state of silence.

"… If I remember correctly, this is the most basic fire magic, its effect and power seems to be only enough to ignite a tree and summon a flame the size of a palm, right?"

Shien did not dare to say too much, and did not dare to think too much. He could only learn the skill first, and then try the other three basic magic.

"Condense, the ice-blue power of the devil — [Freezing]."

"Shine, the dazzling power of magic — [Lightning]."

"Stir, the invisible power of the devil — [Breeze]."

In this basic magic incantation that was almost the same, Sean had successively used three types of elemental magic.

These were the four most basic and basic magic recorded in "Basic Magic".

And so …

[Obtained skill — [Magic – Ice] — Learn? ]

[Obtained skill — [Magic – Lightning] — Learn? ]

[Obtained skill — [Magic – Wind] — Learn? ]

Without any accidents, Shien successfully obtained the magic skill.

However, in front of Shien, the entire sand had already appeared in a large pit of ice, and there was a sky full of sand blowing, making Shien unable to recover for a long time.
