Chapter 4, The Magical Idiot

Du Wei carefully remembered a spell that Clark had said, its simple and ancient pronunciation carrying a hint of mystery

While the magnitude of magical power is important, it is not the sole criterion. Mental strength can also be gradually enhanced through diligent meditation and effort. Those with a stronger innate mental strength merely have a slightly higher starting point than others

Although Du Wei did not possess the talent to become a magician, he was certainly not an idiot. On the contrary, his innate mental strength was somewhat higher than that of the average person, which made him appear more intelligent. The advantage of his mental strength allowed him to be more energetic and have a better memory than others

However, it is evident that due to the arrogance of Master Clark, a sentence he left unfinished misled the Count

What should I do?" Du Wei frowned

The earl fell into deep thought, his expression somber. At that moment, Du Wei walked out of the room and quietly observed the earl.

Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly. Am I living in the dream of a butterfly, or did I dream of a butterfly?

Is the mental strength formidable? Du Wei smiled bitterly within. This is probably because he has undergone "reincarnation" yet still retains the memories of his past life. It is as if a person possesses the mental strength of two lifetimes.

One of Clark's most outstanding students, when he initially passed this stage, sat down to think, and the water in a vase in the room all floated up,凝聚成了一个拳头大的水球,凝聚不散

Indeed

In summary, those who are truly gifted to become wizards, when initially facing this challenge, will experience various anomalies and visions! However, this seemingly naturally talented young master Du Wei appears to have not grasped even the slightest hint of it.

Place your hands on the crystal ball and hold it tightly. Then, try to think of something in your heart, whether it be joyful or angry. In any case, do everything possible to stir your emotions. " Clark replied in a cold tone: " Let me see your talent. "

The proud magician could not help but reveal a hint of surprise at the corner of his mouth. He looked at the crystal ball in his hand, then glanced at the young Du Wei in front of him, and could not help but utter a sound of astonishment.

The fine sand flowed as Xiao Duwei sat quietly for a long time. Finally, he opened his eyes and hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Mage..."

... ... ''

However, the ability to sense the magical elements in nature is the most crucial aspect

Another apprentice, when experiencing this trial, was already able to hear the sound of the wind in the sky. Later, that child majored in wind magic

He began by convincing an outstanding martial artist that he had no talent for martial arts, then drove away a learned scholar, and finally left a renowned magician disappointed.

My lord, I am very sorry. Your son does not possess the talent to become a magician. It seems that the divine has not chosen him. I suggest you find him another field in which he may excel. Clark could not help but add, "Forgive my impertinence... In my thirty-six years of engaging in magical research, I have never encountered anyone like your son..."

Well, what is this...? What? Such a fool? Such an idiot in the picture book? Such a simpleton? Such a person with no talent?

Thus, Du Wei was regarded as a negative example

... ...

At last, a cold hand pressed down on his head, and a wave of coolness rushed down from his forehead, forcibly cooling Du Wei's already heated mind.

Du Wei closed his eyes, and then began to search his memories in his mind

This can only be said ... . ... He is simply not suited to be a magician

Clark once taught several magic apprentices, some of whom had even less magical talent than Little Duvie, yet they were not lacking in outstanding individuals. Among them, one student, during the initial trial, stood up after sitting for less than half a sandglass and then extended his palm, from which a small flame flickered at his fingertips. That student later specialized in fire magic.

Du Wei's breathing gradually became rapid, as if the powerful energy within the crystal ball was amplifying the emotions in his heart. The pounding of his heart also brought an indescribable discomfort, as if his chest were being squeezed by something.

And the result is... These factors combined have made the entire aristocratic circle of the imperial capital even more interested in this simpleton from the Rowlin family. Even when some nobles are educating their unruly children, they cannot help but say something like, "No matter how foolish you are, you won't be worse than that simpleton from the Rowlin family!" to motivate their own children

Oh? What do you feel?

When the wizard Clark emerged from the room with a gloomy expression, the count, who had been waiting outside for a long time, already knew the outcome

"Very good... I must say, quite impressive m.hetushu.com. You are merely a child under six years old... Yet your magical talent can already be compared to that of a magic apprentice... Your mental strength is nearly twice that of an ordinary person... Considering your age... I am very pleased with your talent." The proud magician even revealed a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth

Clark was somewhat disheartened by this response. It was evident that although the child possessed outstanding magical talent, he lacked a delicate heart capable of sensing the world.

The wizard Clark put away the crystal ball, then he gestured for Du Wei to sit down: "Now I need to test the second talent within you... I will teach you a bit of the most basic magic. I need you to meditate sincerely, to feel the power of nature, and then tell me what you sensed."

However, the results and the facts ultimately led the Count to conclude about his son: "It seems he is indeed an idiot"

It is just... what a pity

Du Wei fell silent and took two steps forward, placing his hands on the crystal ball and gripping it tightly. The surface was cool to the touch, yet very smooth

At this moment, Du Wei did not feel well; he sensed a stirring within, faintly recalling past events... He had inexplicably arrived in a world where everything that had come before—ideals, dreams, life, pursuits—had all turned into emptiness... The longer he stayed here and the more he adapted to this world, the more his memories of the past gradually became blurred... Although it is a normal phenomenon for human memory to decline, this still made Du Wei feel very sorrowful, truly very sorrowful... The longer he stayed here and the more he adapted to this world, the more his memories of the past gradually became blurred... Although it is a normal phenomenon for human memory to decline, this still made Du Wei feel very sorrowful, truly very sorrowful...

Clark looked at the crystal ball in his hand as it gradually emitted a glow. At first, the light was quite dim, but soon, it brightened little by little

Du Weizhao complied. He sat down and naturally assumed a cross-legged position. This posture struck Clark as quite novel. ... Subsequently, the magician took an hourglass from beneath his gray robe and placed it beside him to measure the time ...

The earl's heart was filled with despairing sighs

It must be said that the ambiguous statements made by the old scholar Rosiat and Master Clark, due to their concerns or personalities, bear a certain degree of responsibility for the resulting misunderstanding

Concentrate, it begins now... Think, think of the things that have left the deepest impression on you, whether it be anger or joy..." Clark's serious voice echoed in Du Wei's ear

Such a person is now almost labeled with the title of "idiot"

Hmph, what use is having a higher mental strength! It's just like fighting; a stronger person may not necessarily defeat a weaker one. For instance, while a cow is strong, it is not a match for a leopard.

"It is done, my child." Clark's voice was indifferent, yet he had changed his address from "kid" to "my child," which was enough to prove that the wizard was still satisfied with Du Wei's talent

You must meditate with intention and focus your mind. This is a crucial stage; whether you can become a magician... Many individuals who are more talented than you have failed to pass this stage.

What the magician actually wants to say is: a person with excellent magical talent who has no sensitivity to the natural magical elements, such a contradictory combination.

At this point, Ke and the wizard Tushilak let out a sigh. He did not even say goodbye, turning to leave. However, after taking a couple of steps, he suddenly seemed to remember something: "Oh, if you really want him to become a wizard... I would suggest that you allow him to choose potion-making. After all, a potion master can be considered a type of wizard, albeit reluctantly."

Raymond exchanged glances with his son for a moment; he sighed without speaking, yet the disappointment on his face was evident.

Do not do anything. You only need to silently recite the incantation, allowing your heart to think and feel the surroundings, using your heart to sense the cold, the heat, or any sounds; anything is acceptable. This is not difficult

I... Du Wei felt somewhat helpless: "I feel hungry."

But where exactly lies the future path of this young master? ... This question troubles every member of the Rawlin family ... except for Du Wei himself

Clark was very pleased with the child's reaction and looked at the crystal ball in his hand: "Come on, let me see your talent. I promised your father to teach you, but the prerequisite is that you must possess magical talent, otherwise..."

... ...

In the thirty-six years, I have never seen a son like yours

Alas, it is a pity that the divine gift of innate mental strength bestowed upon him is wasted. If he could pass the test, then with his mental strength, he would start off at a higher level than others. Clark felt a twinge of regret in his heart, but soon, the proud magician quickly dispelled his inner sorrow

Du Wei raised his head: "What should I do?"

Having spoken, the wizard Clark waved his hand, casually scattering a handful of golden powder, and then vanished in a burst of flames
