Water and Fire Twins Magician

"You, don't mention that to me again. I didn't come to you for this kind of thing." Fei'er said, "I won't say any more polite words. Let's first understand each other's position. The current situation is that we both know some of each other's secrets, right?"

"you mean……"

"You haven't been fused with Lamines." Fei'er said.

"..."

"You are a person with the dual attributes of water and fire. Although I haven't seen you use water magic with my own eyes, Robert said that your water magic is at least at the third level."

Jacques' heart beat wildly when he heard his secret being revealed from her. He did not respond, but stared into Faye's eyes, trying to figure out her thoughts.

"Don't worry. Students with dual attributes are rare in the Imperial Capital, but they are not unique. As far as I know, there are three people with multiple attributes, including you. But this is the first time I've heard of dual attributes of water and fire."

There are other dual-attribute people? Jacques was shocked.

"However, the identities of these students need to be kept secret. After all, the current magic education system of Teikyo was designed by Mage Laminais himself. Therefore, for those with innate multi-attribute potential, Teikyo can only cultivate them in secret."

Jacques was surprised again. It turned out that Laminais was the founder of Teikyo Academy.

"I will keep your affairs confidential. In exchange, I hope you will also keep Coffee's identity a secret."

"No problem." Jacques shrugged.

"Great." Fei'er nodded and continued, "Then let's get down to business. We would like to invite you to join our team and participate in this year's frozen abyss excavation."

"Excavating the frozen abyss?" Jacques was confused: "I've only heard of the Winter Mission Ceremony..."

"This is different from the Winter Mission Ceremony. Excavating the frozen abyss is a trial for senior students, but there are a small number of places every year for outstanding junior students to experience it in advance. Your teacher Beatrice highly recommended you to us and said that she has applied for a leave of absence for you."

"Beatrice?"

Gandalf said, "Am I right? She really has other plans. She is paving the way for you to advance to the next level as soon as possible."

Jacques was grateful for Beatrice's kindness, but the unfamiliar term "digging in the frozen abyss" made him unexpectedly hesitant.

"Ms. Fei'er, can you first tell me what this deep frozen soil excavation is all about?" Jacques asked.

"Of course. In the melee that night, you fought against many seniors. You should have some understanding of their fighting style, right?"

Jacques nodded.

"Then let me ask you, there is a fundamental difference in the fighting style between seniors and freshmen. Do you know what it is?"

"Hmm..." Jacques held his chin and recalled the scene that night. There were not many freshmen participating in the battle that day. Only he, Bella, and Benjen took action. Compared with the fighting style of Mika and Grasha...

"Ah, I see." Jacques' eyes suddenly lit up: "It's weapons. Freshmen haven't been taught how to use weapons yet. Everyone just fights with bare hands."

"Hmm, your observation is quite good." Fei'er said, "Whether you are a magician or a warrior, you need to find a weapon that suits you. And when you reach a higher stage of cultivation, the requirements for the quality of weapons are also higher. Weapon materials that can withstand one's own magic power are extremely precious and rare."

"So, digging in the frozen abyss is to find materials for weapons?"

"That's absolutely right." Fei'er clapped her hands happily and said, "Because we have to consider the elemental properties and affinity, high-level weapon materials can only be produced in environments with high concentrations of magic elements. And these environments are usually very dangerous. So only students who have the ability to protect themselves are allowed to participate in the excavation. The most attractive thing about this task is that we can use any materials we dig at will. We can sell them to make money, or we can forge our own weapons or armor."

"My own weapon..." Jacques' eyes lit up. It was indeed inconvenient to use the Sword of Marsala in school, and he really needed a water-based weapon.

"But... the frozen soil of the abyss..." Jacques thought about it and hesitated again.
