By the time Mia returned to Baiyi's side, he had already finished reading half of the books that he had borrowed earlier. He even discussed some of the contents with the Voidwalkers a few times before returning the rest of the books to her one by one. Those books were too old and they basically contained the knowledge that he had already mastered. There was not much new information that was worth paying attention to and it was not enough to satisfy his needs. He could only hope that the latest journal would give him a surprise.
"Sorry, Mr. Hope. I'm late." Mia apologized and quickly handed over the journal she had copied to Baiyi. Since it was not convenient to talk in this place, she did not mention the reunion that happened on the second floor.
"Well done, Mia! You're not hungry, are you? Let's go eat first! " Baiyi took the journal from her. He did not have any intention of scolding Mia. After being imprisoned for thousands of years, his patience was surprisingly good.
On the way back, Mia was very happy. It was as if a burden had been lifted from her heart. She no longer held Baiyi's hand like before. Instead, she intimately hugged Baiyi's arm that was sewn with cowhide and stuck close to him.
What's wrong with this little girl? Why is she suddenly so clingy? Baiyi was puzzled. Mia seemed to have read his mind. Suddenly, she lifted her head and flashed a sweet smile at him, looking exceptionally adorable and charming.
"Eh? Mia-chan seems to have learned how to show off her feminine charm? This is a huge improvement! She will definitely become an outstanding beauty in the future! "One of the Voidwalkers quickly said.
"Forget it. I need her to become stronger as soon as possible, not to become beautiful and not to learn how to act cute," Baiyi snapped.
"You can't do this! Sir Hope! Acting cute and pursuing beauty is every girl's talent and right! I will not allow you to kill such a beautiful thing! What you're doing is equivalent to killing a fresh life! "The Voidwalker said righteously.
Look at this guy's code name, the Cleric? Tsk tsk, no wonder he's from the Church! He's basically the same as that Saint Hentai!
"There's nothing wrong with being more intimate. She will be more obedient this way," The Archmage chimed in. "Think about the Fourth Holy Grail War! Many tragedies were caused by a lack of intimacy … "
It's fine if you support his opinion but can't you find a more appropriate and convincing case? How much do you like those outdated works? Is it a pity that there is no moon in this world?
However, the Archmage seemed to think that it was not enough. He continued, "I've always wanted a cute and obedient student. Sigh, it's a pity that I was too engrossed in my research. When I was imprisoned in the void, I only had trash like you as my student. What a pity …"
Huh? As the Sage-Emperor of the Magi of the Magi, I can't believe you ever had such childish thoughts! But what's with the last sentence? Am I a shameful student? I'm really sorry if I'm not cute and obedient enough? Baiyi was really speechless at the thoughts of these people. As the only normal person living among these poisoned people, it was really hard for him!
He had no choice but to comfort himself with the theory that beautiful mages had more advantages in actual combat.
Of course, the beautiful mages in this world were not like those in some art works. Even if they were just as beautiful and alluring and dressed up coquettishly, their beautiful appearance was definitely not a tool for all kinds of men, orcs, goblins, tentacle monsters, and all kinds of other creatures to satisfy their lust. Instead, they had a real advantage in actual combat.
The reason was that the mainstream magic was Rune Magic. When a standard Rune Magic was cast, a circle of runes would appear around the caster's chest as they chanted. Then, the caster would use their Psychic Energy to guide various elemental mana into the runes. The runes would then light up one by one and change into the color of the corresponding element. Finally, the caster would use their Psychic Energy to control the magic and release it.
Because runes were simplified versions of formations, their shapes and effects were relatively fixed. This meant that as long as the opponent had a certain level of understanding of runes, they would be able to easily determine what type of magic was going to be cast from the runes that appeared on the caster's chest. At the very least, they would be able to determine the type of magic that was about to be cast based on the color of the runes. Then, they would be able to take measures to deal with it. This would undoubtedly reduce the effectiveness of the magic.
In order to make up for this flaw, the sorcerers had come up with a lot of ideas. For example, they could speed up the casting of the magic so that the opponent would not be able to see it clearly. If the chanting speed was not fast enough, they could shrink the runes and use their Psychic Energy to move the location where the runes appeared to the wrist, head, or even the back of the caster so that they would not be able to see it clearly. If they had enough Mana, they could even release some unnecessary mana to form visual effects such as fire and ice to hide the runes and mislead the opponent.
However, after all, this was only a method that could be used when they were at ease. If the magic itself consumed a lot of Mana and required a lot of Psychic Energy, these tricks would not work anymore. At this time, they would have to think of other ways such as opening up a distance, finding a tall and sturdy warrior to block in front of them, or using something else to attract the opponent's attention.
Naturally, young and beautiful women had a natural advantage when it came to attracting attention. For example, if a beautiful sorcerer with a towering chest was dressed boldly, especially if the cloth around her chest was thinner and more translucent, then when she cast her magic, as long as the male sorcerer was a normal man, he would naturally be attracted by the beauty of her snow-white chest. If the female sorcerer's body was not well developed, she could also wear seductive stockings and reveal her slender waist to achieve this goal.
That was one of the most important reasons why this world was not inferior to Earth in terms of female clothing design. Even a conservative place like the Celestial Fortress Academy had designed a set of uniforms that could show off the unique charm of young women for their female students, causing many men to applaud for it.
However, this kind of thing was not the right way to go about it. It was actually very easy to solve this problem. Just replace the obvious Rune Magic with Formation Magic. Even though the Formation Magic would also appear in the air, the complex structure was not something that could be understood in a short period of time. It was much more effective than those tricks.
For this reason, Baiyi would definitely not let Mia wear those excessive clothes in the future. Even the academy's uniform that she was wearing now was not suitable for him. The skirt was too short and the waist was too narrow. Not to mention the white stockings that could show off the curves of a woman's legs. Wait until Mia mastered the Formation Magic in the future, he would definitely wrap her up in the most ordinary and ugly sorcerer's robe!
Of course, such an idea was strongly opposed and resisted by the Voidwalkers …
"How is this her Soul Armature? Isn't this her conservative dad? What's wrong with a girl dressing up prettily? "
"You're killing human nature! You're distorting human aesthetics! You're reversing history!"
"You can't let Mia-chan become ugly just because you don't care about your appearance right? She's a cute girl after all! Don't you think this is too much? "
It was the first time that Baiyi had faced such a unanimous objection. Mia managed to escape the disaster because of Baiyi's conservative thinking.
While the Voidwalkers were busy designing Mia's outfit, Baiyi had temporarily separated from her. He took the academic journal back to the girl's dormitory and studied it alone. After he finished reading it, he shook his head in disappointment and said, "Even the latest research is only at this level? Looks like we still have to rely on ourselves … "
The Voidwalkers' attempt to recreate the previous summoning using their current knowledge had ended in failure. It seemed like Mia's grooming plan was the right way to go.
"But this copy of the journal is written in two different handwriting. Did anyone help Mia?" Looking at the elegant and beautiful handwriting on the other part of the journal, Baiyi decided to ask Mia when she returned.
However, when Mia came back from class that night, she did not rush to listen to Baiyi's tutoring. Instead, she fetched a basin of clean water from outside and washed the hammerhead shark plushie that was lying on the small bed.
Looks like something must have happened on the second floor of the library … Baiyi thought to himself as he put down the paper that he had been writing since the afternoon. It was a detailed explanation and explanation of the barrier in the library.
After washing the hammerhead shark plushie, Mia initially planned to hang it outside to dry but the plushie was still dripping wet like a fish that had just been fished out of the water. Who knew how many days it would take for it to dry? Baiyi had no choice but to call out to Mia and take the plushie over. Using his Mana, he instantly drained all the water from the plushie and condensed it into a ball of water beside him.
Then, he released a gust of heat to dry the plushie's fur, turning it back to its original soft and fluffy appearance. Then, he passed it back to Mia.
Mia was overjoyed. She quickly hugged the plushie in her arms and rubbed her face against the plushie's soft white belly. Smiling sweetly, she said to Baiyi, "It's as good as new! You're so awesome, Mr. Hope!"
It couldn't be helped. Who asked the group of Voidwalkers to spoil her so much? To think that he would actually use such precise elemental control to do this kind of thing. That kind of technique was more than enough to cast a high-level spell.
However, when he looked at the genuine smile on Mia's face, his heart softened.
She's a little girl after all. It's only right for me to spoil her, right?
