"It's just the ability to escape, Parker. In fact, I came here this time to learn basic magic from you. Of course, I don't expect to become a master, but it's enough to buy some time to escape. "
Shen Fu's expression was sincere. For Parker, who could read other people's emotions, all he had to do was tell the truth. This was his true inner wish.
"In that case, your own strength is indeed a bit weak. Even if you have incredible mobility, you still have to react quickly - at least for me, I can freeze you to pieces before you escape. "
He pinched his beard and spoke without mercy to deprive others of their lives - as an ancient great elf known as the beast of the end of "permafrost", Parker indeed had this strength.
"Then let's just say that Betty will come and help too."
The two fleshy claws clapped together and agreed without hesitation.
"Huh? Brother, why does Betty have to help this weak human being...Okay...Betty knows, I just help."
Under Parker's gaze, Beatrice's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she had no choice but to reluctantly agree with her mouth pouting.
"Then, let Betty see what attributes you have first."
He stretched out his white palm and wanted to touch Shen Fu's forehead, but - it wasn't enough.
...
Shen Fu was stunned for a moment, and quickly squatted down so that Beatrice's palm could just touch it.
"Really unconscious human beings, so let's begin. Meow-meow-meow-meow."
While making a meowing sound from his mouth, he moved his palm from side to side an inch in front of Shen Fu's forehead - Parker also did something similar in the original book. Is the meowing sound really a necessary spell?
This process was very short, and there was no feeling at all. Seeing Beatrice retracting her palm, Shen Fu was still a little nervous. She didn't know what kind of attributes he would have. Could it be the Yin system related to space?
Beatrice seemed a little more unhappy.
Stretch out two white jade-like fingers and pinch out a tiny distance.
"You still have a little talent as a magician, and your attributes are the same as my brother's fire element. Of course, your meager talent is not worth mentioning in front of my brother."
It turns out to be the fire element. This has nothing to do with his teleportation ability. In other words, the fire element is his own magical ability.
As for what Beatrice said was only a little bit... you can tell by the depressed expression on her face that it's not too bad.
"Ah, is he the same fire element as me? It seems that we are really destined, little brother."
Parker swung his tail and floated to stand on Shen Fu's shoulder, patting his cheek affectionately with his fleshy paws.
"Then let me teach you - Emilia can do it too."
"Hey——, does Shen Fu have the same fire attribute as me? It's no problem. If it's just the basics, I can still do it."
In this world's world view, the fire element represents the control of temperature, so although Parker and Emilia have always used ice as their attack magic, they are both truly fire attributes.
"So, what do I do first?"
Shen Fu couldn't hold back his excitement. Although it was not the yin attribute he imagined, the fire attribute was pretty good, especially in this world view. It would be so cool to think that he would be able to wield fireballs and ice picks in the future.
"If it's a fire attribute, then leave it to Emilia to assist."
Secretly blinking at Shen Fu, he ran back to Emilia's shoulder.
"Wait a minute, don't try it in my library. I don't want my body to fall apart after a failed attempt and make this place dirty."
Saying what could be called vicious words, Beatrice waved her hand, and the library door opened, revealing the courtyard on the first floor.
"That won't happen. Don't worry, it's safe."
Emilia came up and held Shen Fu's hand, with a little worry in her blue-purple eyes.
...I wasn't nervous at first, but after being looked at by Emilia with such eyes, I suddenly became a little nervous.
After swallowing, he teleported Emilia directly to the courtyard outside.
"Then let's get started."
He raised his delicate hands and pressed them on the temples on both sides of Shen Fu's head.
"Now I'm just trying the most basic ice pick magic. If you feel any discomfort, please report it immediately. Don't be pushy."
He nodded with a little uneasiness and took a deep breath to show that he was ready.
Just for a moment, it was as if a weak electric current flowed down the whole body from the temples on both sides.
Except for a little numbness, I didn't feel any discomfort. However, this was just the beginning. The numbness gradually increased, and it seemed that something was flowing in the body, more ferocious than blood - it must be mana.
This energy was not under Shen Fu's command, but it was not without rules. They were now controlled by Emilia, and finally concentrated on Shen Fu's arms. A mysterious feeling came to his heart.
The palms of his hands were heating up, and Shen Fu could clearly feel that in the area above his palms, in the air, something was integrating into his consciousness and becoming a part of his body - it was a feeling that he could control.
"Shen Fu, start imagining that the mana on the top of your palm is part of your body. Condensate them into a pointed cone shape, and then start to rotate."
Emilia's soft voice sounded in his ears, and Shen Fu began to close his eyes and construct pictures in his mind.
——Thank you for solid geometry, and my high school mathematics teacher who worked tirelessly to teach me.
It is not difficult for him to construct a three-dimensional picture. There is no need to observe it with the naked eye. Shen Fu can clearly feel that the magic is taking shape.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and above his empty hands, two ice picks exuding cold air were slowly rotating in the air. The sharp tops left no doubt about their lethality.
"Huh, it seems like I succeeded in one try. Shen Fu is awesome."
Emilia took her hand away from Shen Fu's head, wiped her smooth forehead without any sweat, and spoke as if she was praising a child.
Parker floated over and circled around the ice pick, gently brushing the sharp part with his tail.
"As far as the first use is concerned, it is almost perfect. It seems that your talent is really good, Shen Fu. Come and try its power."
Looking at the magic he had cast, Shen Fu felt filled with a sense of accomplishment. The most difficult part of the entire spell-casting process was to build a three-dimensional model in his mind, but for him, or for anyone who has experienced cramming education in China, For humans, that is the simplest.
