Blooming Tower of the West Wind

Hipper hesitated, grabbed a little forward, and Theron said, "Uh...should be tighter."

Theron was only as high as her chin, and Hipper actually couldn't bear to do too much action on such a little girl. She looked green and slender, and she should be protected instead of strangled.However, when she was hesitating, Theron grabbed her arm and let her wrap it around his waist completely, and said seriously: "High speed is very dangerous, you should hold me as tight as possible."

Hipper was a little uncomfortable, and at the same time a little regretful that he had climbed up as soon as his brain got hot.Land creatures will be afraid of leaving the surface, even the archmage is no exception.

But Theron did not. She opened the water mist barrier, which may be a lesson from the last flight accident. When flying to an unfamiliar area, she needs to open the water mist to check the wind direction and speed.After a fierce acceleration, she obviously flew out of the updraft around the tower.

"Theron!"

"It's going to be fun!" Theron was unmoved, but they were about to hit the wind wall!

"Theron!"

Theron suddenly fell back and took Hipper around half a circle in the air. A wind shield appeared between her hands. Hipper noticed that she omitted the subject of the wind shield spell, which means "activate" Then only one root is left.

The wind shield turned into an extremely short spell, which made Hipper very relieved.Although her own wind shield doesn't need spells, it only needs a not-so-complicated gesture, but that was only practiced in the surprise make-up class before the graduation test.It is true that young children learn survival skills through play.

She walked away for a while, but when she came back to her senses, she found herself staring straight at the ground.

"Theron!" She called her apprentice's name for the third time, with panic in her voice, Theron pushed towards the wind shield in her hand, facing the wind shield was the air cannon blowing from below, two The not-so-violent spells of the same family collided with each other, and the orderly elements on the surface returned to disorder. They were continuously eroded from the spell sequence, and dissipated into the air like a white mist, and were swept away with the airflow.

As a result, they were pushed against the wind wall tightly, and the wind shield under Theron's feet was re-formed, and Hipper was so nervous that he was about to coil himself on Theron.Only the dignity of the Archmage prevented her from doing so in the end.

The wind shield slanted across the wind wall, as if stepping on a huge wave, Theron adjusted the direction of his body so that he could completely face the wind.

A patch of white sand turns into a patch of powder blue sky.The sky was much brighter than the ground. Although the sun was dim, it still dazzled her so much that she couldn't open her eyes.She instinctively wanted to block the light with her hand, but Theron suddenly grabbed her hand tightly, "Teacher, don't let go!"

She couldn't see, she could only feel the wind and a trace of water vapor, the speed was so fast that it almost surpassed Tianma, the wind hit her face head-on, almost suffocating, the inability to see made her uneasy, she could only die Holding the little girl in her arms.

"My God, my God, this is too dangerous..."

"Don't you think it's very exciting!" Theron hugged her arms tightly wrapped around her body, and the two weak mages stepped on the wind shield and slid quickly on the wind wall surrounding Aime Cortes, "You It's time to open your eyes! Have you seen the tower beneath your feet? It's great!"

The wind wall follows the arc of Aime Cortes, narrow in the middle, and gradually widens up and down, so they slowly stabilized in the upper half during sliding, because the speed was stable, and the relative stillness allowed the archmage to slowly recover from tension. The status returned, and she quietly opened her eyes, but the feeling that only Theron could rely on still made her uneasy.

Land creatures can't understand this feeling of feet leaving the ground emotionally!Soul Messenger Charmodale, who had probably never seen the Archmage flying, flew out of the perch out of curiosity, and circled with them.Hipper didn't see it at first, until he heard Theron greet Charmoder.

After gliding smoothly for a while, the archmage's rationality finally overcame his sensibility, fully realizing that he would not fall, at least with Theron's support.

In order not to be too far away from her, the flightless water lord dropped the graphite plate in his hand, and by virtue of his own surface tension, climbed from the outside of the tower to the top with difficulty, opened his body, and glided against the thin water film When he reached the wind barrier, he paddled hard.

Theron looked left and right, giggling, and suddenly accelerated again. Hipper could feel a gust of wind pushing them violently, and they went up along the inner wall of the wind barrier. It's underfoot.

Hipper was a little dizzy, but she knew that the Wind Barrier had an upper bound. If Theron flew out of the upper bound, they would undoubtedly be thrown along the parabola, flying away from Aime Cortes infinitely.

"Theron, you can't go any higher."

"why?!"

"You should 'see' it, we're almost at the top."

"Can't...can't you go out?" Her depression can be heard, which is completely different from her energetic yelling just now.

The wind speed slowed down, and the speed was not enough. They fell slowly, round and round.

"Just once?"

"Unfortunately, no, the wind outside Aime Cortes is much more complicated than the relatively orderly situation inside, I don't want... I don't want a talented student like you to die early, I also want to watch you wear four elements What about the robe. And if you fly out rashly, maybe even I can't protect you... just like that time."

The four-element robe is a symbol of an archmage who can completely surrender the four elements. Hipper has one, but she has never seen her wear it. She said that this symbolic thing is only a dress that is worn on formal occasions.

Theron wrapped his arms around her tightly.She remembered that when she first came to Aime Cortes, the archmage took her out to watch the wind alone, and the two of them almost died under the lightning together.

Being too headstrong will lead to death, not only will you die, but also important people will be killed. The archmage taught her this by himself.

"Okay... Teacher, please hold on to me, we are about to land."

Hipper was very surprised. In fact, she had thought up a long speech to persuade Theron not to take risks. She didn't expect her stubborn student to be subdued so quickly, and she was full of drafts and stillborn. In fact, it was not very comfortable.She had no choice but to hug her tighter, and said in a low voice, "Okay, is this all right?"

Theron nodded, and suddenly uttered a short incantation. The wind solidified in front of her as if there was nothing. She pressed forward hard, and the strong effect between the wind shield and the wind wall made the wind element continue to be eroded, and the huge The thrust of the force pushed them away from the wind barrier, and they continued to fall around Aime Cortes.

"Whoah!" Hipper cried out as she fell to the stall height. She wanted to let go and cast a spell, but Theron still held her down.Theron suddenly adjusted his posture in the air, stepped on the left side, and whispered to attract the wind, but there was no wind vein here, and the supporting force was not enough for them to take off. Hipper was about to shoot again, but Theron still pressed stopped her.

"It's still one step away!"

Their feet trembled suddenly, and Hipper couldn't help stepping down. The strong wind rolled them up. It turned out that they had stepped on a wind vein. The highly active wind element here made it easy for Theron to call a powerful wind wave.

They were flying towards the terrace, but Theron, who had been calm and calm just now, suddenly turned around and got into her arms, looking ahead and yelling in horror: "Teacher——! I hit——"

Calling that, she still twisted Hipper inside, and turned her back to the wall.

"Let go!" Hipper broke free from her clenched hands, and tore the elemental interface out of thin air. The Water Lord, who was still unable to return around the wind wall, was sucked into the void, and then came out of the new crack in a wave. Hippo hugged the terrified girl with tense muscles all over her arms, and bumped into the water wave with her back against it.

The waves rolled them up flatteringly, and the little apprentice, who was fearless in the sky but terrified when the archmage landed in his arms, landed on the blue body of the water lord again, and it took a while to stabilize down.

Hipper breathed a sigh of relief towards the sky, and said: "I think it's not just you, I should have sore muscles tomorrow... Don't cry, don't cry, I won't blame you, I just want you to hand in your homework properly ,OK?"

"But...uh...but..."

The archmage interrupted her forcefully, "No but, don't cry, the reason why I agreed to fly with you is to protect you at close range in various emergencies, everything is under my control .”

It's a pity that the girl cried even harder. Hipper hugged her helplessly and looked at the blue sky in front of her: the sky was blue and the wind was very comfortable, so she just lay there and did nothing—she patted her sobbing Little girl - seems to be good too.

Sure enough, on the second day, both the master and the apprentice were sore all over. Hippo relied on the dignity of the archmage to not show any flaws, and Theron yelled almost every step he took. Hippo walked weakly in the library. Back and forth, a book was floating in front of her, and Theron Lai refused to get up on the chair, studying the materials she found from the bookshelf behind her very seriously, even reluctant to go to the toilet .

The homework assigned by Hipper was to state her research results related to flying in the wind, but Theron handed in two single-page loose-paper bound books.

"what is this?"

Theron said with a smile: "Another small achievement of mine."

Hipper also looked back at her with a smile: "Is it a little surprise for me? I will watch it."

The title on the sub-cover reads "Soft Balance: How Skeletal Muscle Supports Human Uprightness."

"Is this the result of your last study of those books?"

"Yes, that's right, teacher, I found that there are very few theoretical books in other professions. Last time I was in the library of Dead Leaf City, I didn't get much."

"Yes, there is a big gap between theory and practice. People who are willing to study theory are usually not restricted by a single occupation. This is the biggest difference between applied and research classes: theory can usually serve as a guide for multiple disciplines , but if you want to return to theoretical research from applied disciplines, you often feel powerless."

Theron asked worriedly, "Then what?"
