What greeted me was an arrow of light. I quickly sidestepped, using the slanted surface of the prism to deflect the arrow of light to the side. Why use a slanted surface? Because although the prism can rebound the opponent's magic, it consumes a significant amount of my magical energy. By using a slanted surface, I can greatly reduce the area of impact of the opponent's magic, and the effect is quite good. Now, my control over these basic spells has become very strong. Generally, I merge the light shield and the prism into a new type of shield, about the size of a basin, which I gather in my left hand. I named it the Light Prism Shield. Although it does not provide full-range defense, the density of the light elements significantly enhances its defensive power, and it can also reflect magic, making it very useful. Teacher Xiu once attacked me with a mid-level magic in a single-point form, and for a short time, he was unable to break through my Light Prism Shield.

The response is quite prompt! We will temporarily conclude our study of defensive magic. Starting today, we will begin learning spatial magic, which is my area of specialization as your teacher. I hope you will study diligently.

Strangely, I endure inhuman torment every day, yet my body grows stronger. Teacher Xiu told me that one must endure hardship to become a superior person, and that only by protecting oneself can one survive. The best way to protect oneself is to run. (This aligns quite well with my own thoughts)

How empty it feels underfoot, oh no, splash. The transmission has gone awry, landing in the pool outside the classroom at m.hetushu.com.com

Wow, space magic! Great, I can escape now. I won't have to fear that old man anymore. This time, I will study hard. If he mistreats me, I can just use space magic to go home, hehe. (Is it really that simple?)

Due to Teacher Xiu's "hands-on" guidance, my magical abilities have undergone a qualitative leap in just six months. During the rigorous training, I can now withstand approximately two hours of relentless attacks. Every morning upon arriving at school, it is all about defense, defense, and more defense. Once I am completely exhausted, Teacher Xiu allows me to meditate to restore my magical energy, and in the afternoon, the bombardment of my magic continues.

Every week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I study magical knowledge, while on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, I practice the Sack Formation. The difficulty of the Sack Formation gradually increases as my abilities improve. (The so-called difficulty is not much; it merely involves Teacher Xiu providing me with a comprehensive intermediate spell—like Lightning Strike—from outside the formation)

Yes, Teacher Xiu

Climbing out of the pool in a disheveled state, I spat and thought, what a mess, this is really not good, the margin of error is too large. I returned to the classroom. Teacher Xiu, seeing my disheveled appearance, couldn't help but show a hint of a smile on her serious face

Let me first explain the basic principles of spatial magic. Spatial magic is divided into movement magic and attack magic. Movement magic primarily relies on skill, but the level of magical power determines the distance of your transfer, while mental strength determines the accuracy of your transfer. Generally speaking, the shorter the transfer distance, the stronger the positional accuracy. The specific operation method of movement spatial magic involves using one's mental strength to lock onto the desired location, and then using a simple incantation to channel magical power to teleport the body. It is categorized into short-distance teleportation, long-distance teleportation, and large-scale long-distance teleportation. Short-distance teleportation is commonly used, mainly for dodging enemy attacks, while long-distance teleportation and large-scale long-distance teleportation are rarely utilized due to their high demands on mental strength and low accuracy, which can result in being several hundred kilometers away from the intended target. Additionally, large-scale long-distance teleportation requires the support of a magic circle to be realized.

Teacher, please spare my life.

I followed Teacher Xiu to the back yard of the academy, where I saw that the entire area of approximately 300 square meters was equipped with wooden frames standing 5 meters tall, and each frame was tied with thick ropes to large burlap sacks.

In the past six months, I have only learned basic defensive magic of the light system. I always feel that Teacher Xiu has a sadistic tendency, and I am just a poor little sandbag being tormented by him every day

You may go now; from now on, you will practice in the sack formation. I will have Guanghu assist you in pushing the sacks.

Teacher, are you saying that when you mentioned using long-distance magic to return from the capital to supervise my studies, it was a lie?

It is that simple

Teacher, why haven't I heard you recite the incantation?

Good

I began to concentrate, setting my sights on the corner of the classroom, silently repeating to myself, "Go." In an instant, I felt as if I had changed locations.

Longbow, come, I will take you to the new training ground

Teacher, what are these used for

Rest assured, everything is fine. The teacher's recovery magic is quite good. Alternatively, we could replace the sack with an iron ball.

Good morning, Teacher Xiu

The results are quite good, I have become increasingly proficient. Within the 30 square meters of the room, I can basically think of a place and get there. Yes. No more practice, time to rest, tomorrow I will give the old devil a surprise. As I pondered, I gradually entered a meditative (sleep) state.

Upon arriving at the classroom door, I first cast a light shield spell for myself, and then applied a light prism reflection spell outside the shield. The light prism spell is my favorite among the magic I have learned during this period; it is a reflective defensive spell that I have mastered quite well. Carefully controlling both spells, I pushed open the door. I am now quite fearful, as every day when I enter, it feels like a barrage, often leaving me covered in dust and dirt. Therefore, I now always enhance my defensive magic before entering the classroom.

You should now understand the significant demands that instantaneous magic places on mental strength. During teleportation, it is essential to maintain complete concentration; even a slight lapse can lead to considerable discrepancies. Today, focus on practicing here, striving to ensure that you arrive exactly where you intend without any deviation.

From that day on, I began to continuously practice short-distance teleportation. I initially thought that the devilish training I was trying to escape from had not left me. Every morning, I had to endure an hour of torment before I could practice short-distance teleportation, gradually expanding the range from 30 meters to 50 meters, 100 meters, 200 meters, and so on. After a year of effort, I have reached the limit of short-distance teleportation, allowing me to transfer freely within a range of 500 meters, with a very high degree of accuracy

I continuously practiced short-distance teleportation until my magical energy could no longer sustain it

"It's still better with the burlap sack, the burlap sack is better." Hearing such terrifying words, I no longer felt like complaining and immediately dove into the formation. I dodged, I dodged, and within three moves, I was swept out by the burlap sack, it hurt terribly. Teacher Xiu immediately cast a basic healing spell on me and pushed me back into the formation. I kept dodging, dodging, and was repeatedly knocked away. My small body was ruthlessly tormented by the demon.

My small body was ruthlessly tormented by the demon.

As she spoke, Teacher Xiu suddenly disappeared from my sight. I was tapped on the back, and it turned out that Teacher Xiu had used instantaneous transfer to move to my back. Wow, how magical it is

"Did I not tell you to practice short-distance teleportation? Just watch." Teacher Xiu pushed down over 100 sacks from the high shelves in the entire venue, and all the sacks swayed back and forth, brushing against each other in the space. "Pay close attention," said Teacher Xiu as he teleported into the array of sacks, continuously teleporting within the array without ever being touched by the sacks. After 1 minute, Teacher Xiu stepped out of the array. "Pay close attention," he repeated, teleporting back into the array and continuing to teleport without any of the sacks making contact with him. After another minute, he stepped out of the array.

Inadvertently, I let something slip, and Teacher Xiu displayed an awkward expression. "You need to focus on learning magic properly and stop asking so many questions. Today, we will begin learning the short-distance teleportation spell. This spell can transport you to any location within a radius of 500 meters, provided you have the magical and mental strength of a great magician or above to support it"

What character is that

This is what I am about to tell you: the spell for short-distance teleportation is extremely brief, consisting of just one character. As long as you control your magical power well, you can simply think of the place you wish to go and silently recite that character in your mind

Watching Teacher Xiu leave, I sat down on the ground, feeling much better than in the past few days. At the very least, I would no longer endure the devilish training. For the sake of my "safety first" (the pursuit of escape), I must practice diligently. I silently made a resolution in my heart.

"Go." I set the distance for the teleportation to 3 meters ahead, and indeed, this time it was successful.
