In fact, once he decided to merge, Jacques had no choice at all.

As an innate fire spirit, he possessed a body of pure fire. The fire element was deeply rooted in his soul and was the source of his existence. He could not give it up. In this way, he could only give up the water element that he had been trying to accumulate and cultivate since birth. If he could convert all his potential for water attributes into potential for fire attributes, everything would be natural. He could concentrate on cultivating the fire attribute that was innate and most compatible with him.

But the thought of completely giving up the water element made him feel awkward. He suddenly thought of the cave bear guarding the third-level passage in the Masalachu ruins. Laminais fusion is like asking you to cut off your left arm and then hold it with your right arm, making your arm twice as long as before. Does this make sense?

Because of his special situation, the two types of magic power in his body would not repel or cancel each other out. Since they could be practiced and used separately without any obstacles, was there any need to merge them? However, the teachers said that he could not formally enroll without fusion, which was the source of his troubles.

"Do I have to give up my water attribute?" He walked across the lawn in front of the dormitory building. Bella, who was enjoying the sunbath carefree in the distance, saw him and came over happily. Bella was also unwilling to merge, and she didn't know how to persuade and coax him.

"There is obviously no choice, but why can't I make up my mind?" Jacques was also puzzled. He did not regret entering Teikyo Academy, but he had a strong intuition that he entered this academy for some destined purpose, and this purpose was not to merge.

"You mean, there is a strange feeling that makes you choose Dijing unconsciously and makes you want to stay here?" Gandalf was a little surprised: "Could it be that you have contact with Tianxin?"

It was the first time that Jacques heard: "Tian Xin?"

"It is a mysterious force that controls everyone's destiny." Gandalf explained, "I don't know if you have had this feeling in your previous life. There may be several moments in a person's life when he feels that he is being led to a certain place by a mysterious force and meets a certain person or something. This encounter may have a good or bad impact on him. It may help him complete a mission or ruin his life. It all depends on the choice he makes at the time."

After listening to this, Jacques wondered why in this Western fantasy world, there was such a strong Eastern-style fatalism?

"So what should I do now?"

"The connection with Tianxin is just a hint to you. It doesn't have a clear direction. You can choose to follow it, ignore it or even resist it. Everything is up to you to decide, and I won't interfere." After saying that, Gandalf kept silent.

Jacques was a little dissatisfied. It was said that it was fate's guidance, but it could be ignored or rejected at will. Wouldn't that mean that he still had to rely on himself? He couldn't help at all.

Just as he was about to vent his anger at Gandalf again, Jacques found himself in front of a certain building.

Rather than being a building, it is more like a shabby house that was illegally built between two luxurious buildings.

The house was only one story high, and the main door had become rotten wood. Hanging on it was a plaque that looked like it would fall off at any moment, with five large characters written on it:

Department of Magical Research.

Jacques felt an inexplicable stir in his heart.

"The Magic Research Department of the Imperial Capital? Why is it so dilapidated?"

"Oh, when I was still a free man, the Magic Research Department was not like this. Things are different now." Gandalf said, "Before I was trapped in Marsala, I heard that the then principal of Teikyo Academy was going to retire. Now it seems to be a fact. The current principal is probably the one who was rumored to take over... Alas, he only focused on the application of magic and neglected magic research, so he has fallen into the current situation."

Jacques nodded. He understood it very well. Whether in the past life or in this life, all walks of life are becoming more and more utilitarian and more and more eager to achieve quick results. There are fewer and fewer people who can concentrate on research, and they are becoming less and less valued.

"But what exactly is this magic research for? How is it different from other magic departments?"

"Well, to put it simply, it's the relationship between the upstream and downstream. The Magic Research Department, as the name suggests..."

"Ah! Boss! My stomach hurts!" Bella suddenly shouted.
