Quadruple split

Game time PM13:41

Inner ring area of ​​Academy City, top floor of [Stars] high-end chain hotel, living room of Suite Zero

Ms. Diana A. Azizolti sat in the middle of the sofa without saying a word. She tried very hard to look very serious, serious and majestic, but because she had been there since she was born, He failed miserably by not making the above expressions...

To put it simply, not only is there no dignity at all, but the look of him biting his lower lip, reluctant to speak, blushing, and slightly erect eyebrows can be said to be cute.

Because of this, Futaba, who was ordered to sit opposite Diana, instead of being anxious and uneasy, had an indifferent look on his face, without any intention of introspection.

As for Frank Hughes, who was sitting next to Diana as a 'juror', he wore a harmless smile and looked at his lover with gentle eyes, his eyes full of doting.

"Futaba, you...be more serious!"

Seeing that the other party was not at all intimidated by her non-existent 'aura', Diana finally broke the silence angrily, patted her knees hard (and let out an "ouch" in pain), and said sternly : "Today I must teach you well for Ana! You...well, you are so disobedient!"

Futaba blinked her big watery eyes: "Why am I disobedient?"

"Spent the entire morning in Section 31 of the library!"

Diana slammed the table hard and said angrily: "You said you were disobedient!"

Futaba tilted her head: "I blew up a hole in the library and sneaked in?"

Diana: "..."

Futaba tapped her lower lip: "Did I see you and Frank having sex in District 31?"

"Live Erotica?"

Diana and Mo Tan blinked curiously at the same time. Obviously, although the Innocence Continent has never lacked some kind of 'book', some of the words Futaba said casually were still relatively small for the man and woman in front of them. Incomprehensible, of course, and incomprehensible about Frank Hughes in quotation marks.

"Ah... the generation gap is really annoying."

Futaba curled her lips as her rhythm was interrupted. After being silent for a while, she finally decided not to continue the comparison, but said directly to the point: "In short, the person who gave me the library pass was you, Diana, right?"

Diana nodded reluctantly: "Yes."

"How many areas does this authority include, Diana? Do you remember?"

Futaba raised her chin slightly and continued to ask questions.

"...District 1 to District 35."

Diana's momentum visibly weakened, she lowered her head and muttered softly.

"Then the question is, does the area between District 1 and District 35 include District 31?"

Without giving the other party any room to breathe, Futaba asked again.

"Well……"

"Did you say I'm not allowed to go to District 31?"

"this……"

"Did Ana say you wouldn't let me enter District 31?"

"she……"

"Okay, I know I was wrong. It was my mistake this time. If I do it again, it will definitely be my mistake next time. So Diana, please forgive me."

"Eh?!"

Faced with Futaba who suddenly admitted her mistake honestly after gaining the upper hand, Diana's eyes suddenly widened.

"Quibbles are quibbles~"

The girl shrugged indifferently, lying on the coffee table and said lazily: "But it is an indisputable fact that I ignored the advice of you, Ana, and Uncle Kenneth to study epic magic. Pindao not only refuses to admit this, but also slams the pot on your head."

Mo Tan couldn't help but chuckle, and then secretly squeezed Diana's palm: "That's what she said. Isn't that quite sensible."

"Well! I know, I know... Frank, please don't cause trouble."

Diana pinched Mo Tan gently, and then sighed deeply. After organizing her words for a while, she turned to Futaba, who was already leaning on the table in front of her, and asked with a helpless expression: "You This girl, have you ever thought about why Ana and I don’t let you dabble in more than high-level magic knowledge?”

Futaba said without any time to think: "Because you are afraid that this talented beautiful girl like me is too powerful and can easily surpass you... This can't be the reason, right?"

"Of course it's impossible! How stingy do you think Ana and I are!"

Diana wrinkled her nose and asked again: "Then let me ask another question. Today you went against our previous instructions and went to the 31st floor of the library to study the knowledge of the epic field for a whole morning. What was the result? ?Any gains?”

Futaba buried her little face in her arms and complained: "I got a hammer... I don't understand what kind of nonsense those things are. It was so smooth when I learned high-level magic. As a result, when I was fighting with those things just now...hell, I couldn't understand any paragraph in any book!"

"It's normal that you can't understand."

Diana folded her legs gracefully, folded her arms and said to Futaba calmly: "If you can understand, we won't stop you from studying those things."

Futaba immediately raised his head in dissatisfaction and said angrily: "What do you mean it's normal that I can't understand! Why are you so sure that I can't understand! Why can't I really not understand? !”

"Because you are so good, little Futaba."

Although the content sounded like a compliment, Diana's expression was very serious when she said this. She pursed her lips anxiously, then took a sip of the warm water Mo Tan handed her from the side. After being silent for a while, he continued: "Whether in the eyes of me, Ana or Brother Kenneth, you are a little too good, especially when it comes to the concept of 'magic' and the various things related to it. on the field.”

Futaba straightened up lazily and said weakly: "So? The better people are, the more likely they are to be punished by God? For example, it is difficult to enter the epic threshold?"

"real or fake?!"

Mo Tan was startled and immediately turned to look at Diana.

"Generally speaking, it's definitely not the case!"

Diana, who was leaning on the opponent's shoulder, pouted and said softly: "Not to mention a mage, whether it's astrology, magic, knights, thieves, warlocks, rangers, etc., generally speaking, they are People with higher talents can break through bottlenecks faster than others, whether it is from high-level to epic, or from epic to legend."

Futaba laughed dryly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what am I? A second-rate situation?"

"Futaba, can't you be a little more self-conscious..."

Diana looked helplessly at her 'half-apprentice' whose face was full of dissatisfaction. In the end, she couldn't hold it back. She left Mo Tan's shoulder and leaned over Shuangye's forehead and flicked: "Although we When we first met, you were already almost breaking through the half-step high-level bottleneck, but according to Ana, you were still a crappy beginner mage more than half a year ago."

Futaba raised his eyes and said angrily: "The word 'lame' is redundant."

"We are all mages, and your level at that time was indeed a bit lame in Ana's eyes. But according to her, that period did not last long. Soon, you seemed to have changed. The control of one's own magic power and the driving of external elements have become as easy as one's fingers."

Diana looked at Futaba very seriously and said in a deep voice: "It was not long after that that Ana officially accepted you as an apprentice and mentioned it when she wrote to me."

Futaba twitched the corners of his lips and asked without any emotion: "Oh, what next?"

Diana shrugged, held her forehead and said: "Then? Then just half a month ago, Brother Kenneth and I concluded through observation that you have stabilized at the peak of high-level, and you can't even face most half-step epics. You will be at a disadvantage, remember? The dinner that day was particularly sumptuous."

"In less than a year, I was promoted from the beginner level to the peak of the advanced level..."

Mo Tan touched his chin and muttered in a low voice: "And in actual combat, it is not even weaker than the ordinary half-step epic. It's not that I have never read this kind of story, and it's not that I haven't made it up myself, but the only thing I didn't expect is This kind of thing actually happens in reality.”

Futaba curled her lips and hummed: "It's rare to see something strange."

"Frank is not a rare person. In fact, at the beginning, even I didn't believe that you advanced from beginner level to intermediate level in less than two months."

Diana picked up the cup and took another sip of water, and said quietly with a very strange expression: "Until I witnessed with my own eyes that you went from intermediate to the current level in just a few months."

Futaba finally suppressed her absent-minded expression, sat up reluctantly, and said with wandering eyes: "I... have a special reason, Diana, you should know, right? No matter how slow you are, You should be able to guess a little bit, right? Uncle Kenneth has probably secretly explored my background a long time ago, right? The [Tuning Sage] came here this time to study this aspect with other forces, right?"

Diana took a deep look at Futaba. After all, she didn't say anything more in front of Frank Hughes, a 'local', and just nodded silently.

Obviously, Futaba didn't think that his identity as a player could be hidden from Diana and the others. Even if Ana Ta Rasha didn't take the initiative to mention it to her best friends, even if Diana's character was somewhat of a scholar. There's no way she wouldn't have noticed any clues about the situation, not to mention she was one of the three greatest astrologers in the entire continent. There was no reason why she hadn't noticed any problems after being together for so long.

As for the [Sage of the Misty Moon] Kenneth A. Achizolti, Futaba really had no chance of hiding it from him, because one of the members of the Council of Truth was completely opposite to his cousin. He was a very thoughtful person. For a terrifying man, even if Futaba was confident that he did not reveal any flaws during the time he stayed in Jishuya Spiritual Advent Tower, he still felt that the big man had definitely mastered the concept of 'foreigner'. On this premise Next, as long as he thinks about his resume for a moment, he will probably be able to see some clues.

"Okay, let's not mention those trivial matters for now."

Diana breathed a sigh of relief, changed the topic a little stiffly, and said to Futaba seriously: "It's because your progress is so fast, so the basics are really not solid. Under this premise, half a step The realm before epic is fine, but once you get involved in higher levels of power, you will most likely fall into a serious bottleneck because your basics cannot keep up with the advancement. This bottleneck is that most people advance step by step and step by step. It’s hard to meet people who have reached the pinnacle of advanced levels.”

Futaba flattened his mouth with some annoyance: "I think my foundation is very solid. Diana, think about it, not to mention basic elemental magic such as wind, fire, water, thunder, and earth. Even arcane, space, I also have complete mastery of light, darkness and negative energy spells, and you have read some of my papers, so does this still mean that the foundation is not solid?"

"certainly."

Diana nodded without hesitation and said with stern eyes: "The fact that you gained nothing in Area 31 of the Library today is the best proof."

Futaba's shoulders suddenly slumped, because she really couldn't understand the epic content and couldn't find any reason to refute Diana.

"As I said just now, little Futaba, your talent is so great."

Diana sighed and looked at Futaba with some confusion: "And precisely because your talent is so good, you are able to 'take advantage' in many places through means that ordinary people can't imagine. This is not a bad thing. But it is precisely because of this that when you use the same method to understand more advanced magic, you will fall into a bottleneck that most people are not qualified to fall into. Do you understand?"

Futaba answered without hesitation: "I don't understand at all!"

"Well, that's why I said I'm not suitable for teaching people."

Diana lowered her head in frustration, thought carefully for a while, then raised her index finger and whispered softly: "Well, let me give you an example. Futaba, do you know Nikachu?"

Having been in the Innocence Continent for such a long time, Futaba would naturally not be unfamiliar with the kind of ordinary little beasts that were almost infested, so she nodded vigorously.

"Then, you can understand the low-level fireball as Nikachu's ears, the mid-level blizzard as Nikachu's head, the high-level arcane torrent as a complete Nikachu, and you are a A very skilled painter.”

Diana clapped her hands gently and began to ask: "So, can you draw the ears and head of a nikachu recorded in the spell book on a piece of white paper? Can you draw it? Does the book completely draw a complete Nikachu?"

Futaba frowned slightly: "If I am indeed a skilled painter... of course."

"Of course, you're doing a great job at this, but..."

"but?"

"Can you draw Nikachu's skeleton? Do you know the distribution of organs in its body? Do you know the functions of its various organs? Can you grasp its blood flow rate?"

"Clam?"

"You can't, at least you can't learn this knowledge based on the Nikachu in the picture album, right?"

"I understand...so that's what happened."

"Well, that's what it is."
