As Baiyi continued to flip through Mia's textbook, the other Voidwalkers also continued to discuss about Mia. "But then again, that little girl's aptitude is really mediocre, isn't it? She should be almost 16 years old right? But she's still only an Intermediate Level Sorcerer! Her innate talent is really mediocre! "
The Paladin quickly added on, "Not only her innate talent, her body doesn't even look like it has developed at all! She doesn't have any curves at all! She still has the body of a lolita! Although a lolita with two ponytails is very cute, she's almost 16 years old! What did she eat to develop like this? "
Hey? Why are you focusing on this aspect even though your code name is Paladin? Are you worthy of the name Paladin? Aren't you a gentleman? Why don't I just call you Gentleman Saint from now on? Baiyi sneered coldly.
"No, it's not like that!" The Paladin quickly defended himself, "Body development will also affect the growth of one's strength! If the body is not developed at all, of course the growth of strength will be very slow! I'm really not that kind of pervert who only cares about the growth of a girl's body! "
Hmm, even though you have a reasonable reason, but when you think about it, it's still very perverted, Sir Paladin.
In fact, strictly speaking, being able to become an Intermediate Level Sorcerer before the age of 16 meant that Mia's innate talent was slightly better than the average person. It was just that it was still incomparable to that group of perverts. In that group of people, not being able to reach the Advanced Level before the age of 10 was a very shameful thing.
Not to mention that she was so hardworking... But then again, why would Mia work so hard? Baiyi suddenly realized this problem. Logically speaking, a girl at her age should be playing around and slacking off, right? But Mia was completely different. What was the reason? Ambition? Thirst for power? External pressure?
Baiyi could not figure out the answer to this question. Just as he was about to discuss it with the other Voidwalkers, he realized that the topic of their discussion had already begun to develop in an uncontrollable direction.
Someone was arguing for Mia's innate talent, "Isn't 16 years old just right? Whether it's becoming a Hokage, looking for ONEPIECE, or piloting a giant robot, this is the right age. "
Fine, this guy was too addicted to the point where his perception of the world was completely distorted to the point of no return. However, it was also because of his ridiculous speech that the formal Mia Grooming Plan started to develop in a bizarre direction. In the end, it even went so far as to discuss the style of Mia the Sorceress' dress and what kind of tentacle monsters she would encounter.
Alright, this group of poisoned fellows are all hopeless now. Baiyi had long stopped participating in their discussion about Mia's Heroic Spirit. As a normal Voidwalker, it was really hard for him to live among this group of people. Come to think of it, it was quite interesting. After he received their memories, he became more and more like the people of this world while they, on the other hand, became more and more like the people from Earth.
As the only normal person in the room, Baiyi could not interrupt the conversation at all. All he could do was to find an opportunity to ask Mia herself. He continued to flip through the textbooks that Mia had left behind and asked casually, "How long has it been since these textbooks were last updated? Why are so many things in there still so old and outdated? "
"About a few decades, I guess?" The Apprentice was the only one who answered him, "The Celestial Fortress Academy has a history of almost a thousand years and the textbooks have only been updated a few times. The most recent update was when I was the principal of the academy."
"So the progress of the various theories and research is still not as good as our internal discussions?" Baiyi asked.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. We don't have as many convenient and fast communication channels here like on Earth. A lack of communication in the academic world would only be a stagnant pool of water. Coupled with the limitations of various rigid ideas and concepts, it's only natural that it would be difficult for us to make any progress. Even though we are small in number, all of our teachers are wise and farsighted. Not only that, we also have an efficient way of communicating through our consciousness. So, we are definitely leading in theoretical research," The Scholar replied.
"Alright, while I feel sorry for them, I should also be glad that our knowledge is not outdated," Baiyi said. It's a pity that we can't use the Void Energy as we please. Otherwise, if we were to teach it to Mia directly, her progress would be much faster.
Just as he was thinking about that, a series of light footsteps could be heard coming from the dormitory. Soon, Mia pushed the door open and entered the room. Her face was flushed because of the jogging earlier. She was a little excited but she still maintained her politeness and said to Baiyi, "Mr. Hope, can you come with me for a while? The teachers in the academy just told me that after I successfully summon the Soul Armature, I have to go through an appraisal. "
"Why not?" Baiyi stood up from the table and walked to Mia's side. Holding her little hand in his, he said, "Let's go."
Just like that, the cute and beautiful girl held the shabby and ugly armor as they walked on the tree-lined path of the Celestial Fortress Academy, attracting the attention of countless passersby. Perhaps it was because the combination was a little too abrupt?
The Soul Armature was invented by a man called Sephoros, also known as the Soul Armature Practitioner, the Ninth Walker. The theory behind it was simple. Through a summoning ritual, the Soul Armature would be able to summon the Soul Armature whose body had died but whose consciousness had yet to dissipate into the armor. Then, the Soul Armature would use his own soul to fix the Soul Armature's soul into the armor. Then, both parties would form a partnership, a teacher-student relationship or a master-servant relationship to embark on a new adventure together.
Unlike a summoner's Minion, an alchemist's marionette, or a hunter's pet, the Soul Armature was much more powerful than them. After the soul of the strong had become a Soul Armature, it would still possess the powerful strength and rich knowledge that they had when they were alive. Basically, it could be regarded as the reincarnation of the strong. As for the relationship between the practitioner and the Soul Armature, most of them were equal partners or the relationship of protector and the protected. The Soul Armature must protect the practitioner who fixed his own soul. Once the practitioner died, the soul of the strong could no longer stay in the armor and would revert back to its soul form.
Because of this, when the soul of the strong chose the practitioner, it would naturally be more inclined to choose the one who was as powerful as possible. It would not respond to the summoning of someone who was too weak. Not only would that increase the burden on the practitioner, but it would also cause the practitioner's soul to be too weak, causing the Soul Armature to have to maintain a very close distance with the practitioner.
Of course, the soul of the strong still maintained the pride of the strong. Of course, they also hoped to enter the armor that was as powerful as possible. Putting aside the issue of image, the performance of the new body was also one of the factors that they considered.
Since the invention of the Soul Armature, it had gone through thousands of years of development and evolution. Basically, the soul of the strong and the practitioner understood these principles. Therefore, the combination of the two was usually a combination of the strong and the strong. It was also because of this that the human race was able to stand out among the many intelligent species and occupy most of the realms that were suitable for habitation and reproduction.
Therefore, it was very rare for Mia, an Intermediate Sorcerer, to summon a Soul Armature who was willing to stay in the militia's armor. This kind of thing was very rare. Passersby could not help but wonder:
"Isn't this combination too strange? The soul of the strong who is willing to enter that kind of armor must be a strong person from the ancient times before the emergence of the Soul Armature, right? "
"That should be it. Ever since the emergence of the Soul Armature, the soul of the strong who is willing to become a Soul Armature should know about this. There is no way that they would choose an Intermediate Sorcerer and a militia's armor."
"But how much power does the soul of the strong have left? It has been more than 4,000 years since the emergence of the Soul Armature, right? How much power does he have left? "
"Looking at the direction that they are going, I think they are going to do an appraisal, right? Why don't we follow them and find out? Hehe! Who knows, we might even be able to witness the birth of the weakest Soul Armature in history! "
Inevitably, these boring gossip drifted into the ears of the two of them. Baiyi, on the other hand, was not bothered at all. His calm and tranquil state of mind was not affected at all. In fact, he even felt like laughing.
Mia, on the other hand, was still a little girl with a thin skin. When she heard those words, she suddenly felt embarrassed. Her face turned red and a pitiful whimper escaped from her mouth.
Noticing that, Baiyi reached out his hand and gently patted Mia's head. In a low voice, he said, "Don't mind them, Mia. They don't understand what real power is."
"It's okay. I don't mind." Mia raised her head and forced a smile on her face. However, the frown on her face made the smile look very forced.
Although those people's words were annoying, they were true. Of course, Mia knew about those details. It was just that she was too immersed in the joy of meeting Mr. Hope that she did not think about it. Now that she heard those words, the girl could not help but have mixed feelings.
Come to think of it, although Mr. Hope is a very kind and kind person, and also very wise, I don't feel any powerful power from him at all. I'm not even as powerful as some of the seniors... Mia thought to herself. But then, she recalled the pleasant conversation that she had with Mr. Hope that morning and her heart was suddenly filled with guilt.
I-I'm so selfish and greedy! Mia blamed herself. I already have such a good Mr. Hope. Why am I not satisfied? But... If I don't summon a powerful Soul Armature, I'll be further and further away from that promise. What should I do?
