Chapter 4, Basic Knowledge

I am so unfortunate

Your mother is right, show your father what homework you have left, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished

When I took a look, one book was titled "Fundamentals of Magic" and the other was "Elementary Light Magic Spells and Explanations." What am I supposed to do with this? I couldn't help but look at him in confusion.

Alright, have you rested well? Next, let's see what you have learned before. What kind of magic do you know? Longbow?

After saying this, Teacher Xiu turned and returned to the faculty office building, leaving only me in a daze

Of course, I will check tomorrow. If you still want to play with Guanghu, you may choose not to carry it.

Saying this, he handed over two rather thick books

Oh, who has returned so early? Usually, it is my mother who comes back the earliest every day

I, I can perform illumination magic

After looking at my homework, my father smiled

"In the name of I, Xi Yu, heed my call and appear, my servant, Light Tiger"

The sun gradually set, and through my relentless efforts, I finally memorized 10 pages, just 10 pages, only 10 pages, how could I possibly finish it in this lifetime

My foolish son, weren't you quite clever usually? How come you are being so foolish this time? Although this book and the *picture* book are quite thick, you don't need to memorize everything by heart. Let your mother go cook first, and your dad will tutor you. Then, my dad began to teach me how to complete this seemingly impossible assignment.

Finally, I have completed this journey that felt like a Long March to me, and Teacher Xiu surprisingly showed mercy by allowing me to rest for 15 minutes

The weather today is quite pleasant, clear and windless, which stands in stark contrast to my current mood

Indeed, "Woke up late? That must mean you're not in good spirits. The most important thing for a magician is mental cultivation. First, you should refresh yourself. Immediately run 5 laps around the academy to wake up."

"How did I end up with such a lazy student like you? No wonder Teacher Lin asked me to discipline you properly. Although I knew your grades were always among the lowest, I never expected them to drop to this extent. Alright, class is over for today. You are not allowed to be late tomorrow morning." He was also helpless when faced with a student like me who performed poorly.

What else is there

Hearing my weak voice, my mother quickly came over

I

Longbow, you are indeed in the wrong. Although your mother has always known that your studies were not very good, she never expected that you would be so poor at learning, having failed to grasp even the basic knowledge over the course of 2 years. The teacher's actions are entirely justified; you, little lazybug, need a strict teacher to discipline you. Your father and mother have spoiled you too much.

Ah! Teacher, what are you doing here? I am sorry, I woke up late this morning

Father gently stroked my head, looking at me with kindness

The Son of Light made grand declarations that he himself was unsure he could fulfill, yet he indeed accomplished them in his subsequent studies of elementary magic. (Though it was under duress, with Xi Yu and Xiu present, he was reluctant to study properly, hehe...)

Longbow, in the past, it was always because your father and mother did not care enough about your studies. In the future, your father will definitely tutor you more often. We believe that Longbow will become an excellent magician.

What happened? Quickly tell your mother, is someone bullying you

Alright, it is already quite late. Let's finish the remaining part tomorrow morning if we get up early, shall we

In two years, you have only learned a technique for lighting

What kind of teacher is this? It's simply devilish, asking me to memorize a book of 300 to 400 pages in one day

There is no way, just run, I leisurely begin to take my first steps

Dear son, why are you back so early today? What happened? You seem listless. Did you make some mistake that caused the teacher to scold you?

Teacher Xiu looked at me for a full 2 minutes and let out a long sigh

Alas, why is my fate so bitter

"In the name of my proud and mighty self, elements of the wind, heed my call, come to my side, and protect your friend—Wind Shield." As my father explained, he inspired me with practical examples. He divided the entire book into several sections, each with its main content, and then explained the principles of each section in relation to real-life situations. Through my father's guidance, I, being clever, immediately found the key and gradually developed an interest in magic.

Longbow, you must run quickly; if he catches up to you, you know what will happen.

"No, Mom," I said. Thinking about the homework that seemed almost impossible to complete, I threw myself into my mother's arms and couldn't help but cry, after all, I was still just a 7-year-old child. My mother held me and asked:

( Copyright, reproduction without permission is prohibited )

This is a Level 5 Familiar. (Every person who learns magic has their own Familiar, and one can have multiple. However, summoning multiple Familiars at once consumes a significant amount of mental energy.)

What, this makes me want to leave class, is he really that nice, and it's still morning now

And - Picture - Book "Dad, I will definitely study magic well"

Dad has also returned

I took out "Fundamentals of Magic" and flipped through it. Although I am quite lazy, the thought of the punishment from this morning's devil... my calves are still cramping now. What else can I do but endure...

When I returned home, both my father and mother were not there; they had gone to work. (My father is a foundry worker, and my mother is the healer in the village)

Subsequently, Teacher Xiu asked me many questions regarding basic knowledge of magic and some tricky problems. As for the basic knowledge of magic, I was utterly confused, as I mostly slept during class. However, I did answer the tricky questions quite well. After all, I am still quite clever

Ah! What assignment is it? How did the teacher punish you?

A light tiger, which was 4 to 5 times larger than me, was baring its teeth at me. I immediately summoned all my strength and dashed forward. The light tiger followed me at a leisurely pace. When I slowed down a bit, a light arrow (the only offensive magic in the primary and intermediate light magic, level 2) shot towards me, startling me into quickening my pace.

I hesitantly recounted today's events at school

Longbow, you see, this section mainly discusses the principles of magical application. In our world, there exist numerous elements, with 6 basic elements. You know this, but how can we use magic? We must communicate well with them, allowing the elements you wish to use to recognize you and gather around you. Then, through incantations, we transform the gathered magical elements into the desired outcome. This is magic, you see

"Alright, Dad, I didn't expect magic to be like this." Having absorbed a considerable amount of magical knowledge, I couldn't help but become immersed in the ocean of magic. (The knowledge I acquired in one night surpassed what I had learned in the past 2 years of wandering around.)

It is gone

Yes, yes, Mom, my new teacher is so annoying. The homework he assigned is simply impossible for me to complete, and he even punishes me physically

"Longbow. Wei, what time is it now?" Teacher Xiu looked at me with eyes filled with fury

Due to my genuine fear of today's terrifying teacher, I hesitated at the school gate for a long time without daring to enter. Unexpectedly, he came out, and now it is a disaster.

... ... ... ... ... ...

Teacher, do I have to memorize the entire book on the basics of magic? I still hold a one in ten thousand hope

Tomorrow you need to memorize the fundamentals of magic and quickly make up for the knowledge you previously fell behind on. I do not want my students to be inferior to others. The other book is for future study; you may also take a look at it. Alright, you can go home now
