Having gained the recognition of the Elves roaming this world, Fang Wuwei quickly gathered the Ikenouchi. Although Maki had been there all along, her parents were not.
"Mr. Fang, are you saying you've found a way to use magic in this world?"
"Yes, that's why I hope to get some experimental results from you... Don't worry, there won't be any problems."
The Ikenouchi couple exchanged glances, their eyes filled with pleasant surprise. They had indeed allied with the right person! But...
"Mr. Fang, our Magic Circuits have all been destroyed. Can we still cast magic?"
Magic Circuit is a channel for releasing internal Magic Power, formed by combining the Magician's internal Magic Power with external Magic Power, and is the primary prerequisite for every Magician to cast magic. Only with a Magic Circuit can Magic Power be externalized and combined with external Magic Power to cast spells.
When Fang Wuwei learned about this from the book, he directly ignored it. He could easily externalize Magic Power. As someone with a cheat, he had no idea how important Magic Circuits were to Magicians. So, he shook his head on the spot and asked them to chant the Elf prayer.
The chuunibyou Elf prayer made the Ikenouchi couple recall their glorious past. With utmost sincerity, they prayed to the Elves in the air for strength.
Fang Wuwei, with his Magic Power Perception activated, had been observing the activity of the Elves in the air. The Elves, hearing the Ikenouchi couple's prayer, quickly surged towards them and hovered around them... But eventually, they suddenly scattered with a whoosh, as if encountering something repulsive, unwilling to approach again. Fang Wuwei also didn't perceive any Magic Power being emitted by them.
Those not recognized by the Elves are not worthy of using Magic Power.
When he informed the Ikenouchi couple of this situation, they were only disappointed for a moment before quickly returning to normal—plainness is true; even if they couldn't regain their power, they could still continue living.
But the most important thing was their daughter.
"Maki, it's your turn. Repeat after me..."
"Benevolent, lovely, beautiful Elves, I have cleansed myself of sin, and with the purest, most primal form, I ask to hear your whispers..."
Before Fang Wuwei could begin guiding Ikenouchi Maki, she quickly started chanting the prayer herself. She had been waiting for a long time and already had the prayer memorized.
As Ikenouchi Maki prayed, the Elves began to surge towards her, but soon Fang Wuwei noticed... there was a somewhat strange feeling... The Elves neither quickly scattered and kept their distance as they did with the Ikenouchi couple, nor did they hover and whisper in her ear as they did with him, circling around her.
The Elves were constantly hovering in the air, gathering around Ikenouchi Maki, then quickly scattering, and then approaching again upon hearing the continuous prayer...
It felt like... they were flailing around like headless flies.
Fang Wuwei thought of a very absurd possibility... The Elves... couldn't sense Ikenouchi Maki's existence, could they?!
Upon closer perception, it looked more and more like the Elves had already recognized Ikenouchi Maki, but couldn't sense where she was to bestow their favor.
Oh my god... is this Aura Concealment talent so powerful?!
"Maki, try to use magic, any one will do."
Hearing Fang Wuwei's words, she didn't know if she had succeeded or not. She hadn't heard anything whispering in her ear as her master described, but she still chose to trust her master and try.
"Oh, scorching fire, please favor me, make them burst, make them burn!"
Ikenouchi Maki, casting magic for the first time, was incredibly excited. Although she was chanting the low-level Fireball Technique, she raised her hand, cupped it like a bowl, and waited for the magic to form.
And the Elves in the air were visibly dumbfounded, hesitating whether to release Magic Power to supply her for magic casting... If they didn't, this person was worthy of recognition; if they did, their favor hadn't been bestowed yet...
In the end, only a small number of Elves, who had been lingering around Ikenouchi Maki, released Magic Power and tried to combine it with her personal Magic Power, which was completely absent in the air... Needless to say, failure was inevitable.
Fang Wuwei patted Ikenouchi Maki's shoulder...
"Just honestly learn swordsmanship with me. You're not cut out to be a Magician."
"How can this be..... (sob)"
............
Within a few days, after numerous attempts, Fang Wuwei found the key to magic in this world—the way Elves operate and the formation of magic.
Individuals are like batteries, responsible for transmitting energy to create Magic Power, while Elves are responsible for the formation of magic. Without an individual's Magic Power transmission, Elves cannot create magic themselves, and without the Elves' magical assistance, simply externalizing Magic Power is useless. It's like a battery; without something to use the electricity, the battery loses its meaning and cannot be used. The stronger the battery, the stronger the appliance naturally becomes; the more Magic Power transmitted, the stronger the magic's power will be.
As for Fang Wuwei's total Magic Power... Haha, he tried to cast a Flash spell with all his might. If Fang Wuwei hadn't drawn the curtains properly, his house would have been in the news tomorrow, and Ikenouchi Maki, who was close by... is now lying in the Stone Wing, her eyes completely blind, having collapsed on the ground just now.
As for enchanting... Hmm... This is complex knowledge, requiring various intricate magic circles and magical materials... Materials are not lacking; the system store has plenty, and he even drew a bunch himself from lotteries, damn it... He still needs to learn more about magic circle knowledge, no rush.
Fang Wuwei was lying in the association, holding a magic book and reading non-stop. During this time, he had been engrossed in studying these magical knowledge, rarely even taking out the dark scripture, which naturally aroused the curiosity of Yuta and others.
When they looked, they exclaimed, "Oh my god, a magic book! The settings are so precise, and the drawings are so beautiful!" They were immediately deeply captivated by this group of chuunibyous, but they soon realized... they couldn't understand it at all... What Magic Circuit, what magic generation, what various magic circles...
However, this didn't stop their interest. They all asked to borrow it to read, but Fang Wuwei soon found that they were only copying the settings from it, which left him speechless, so he stopped lending it out.
Originally, it was a very ordinary day. In the association, Fang Wuwei was lying on the floor reading a book. Beside him were Nibutani and Totsuka, who were routinely fighting, Rikka staring blankly out the window, Koushou sleeping, and the pervert Isshiki Makoto watching her sleep, as well as Yuta sitting beside Fang Wuwei.
It was originally just an ordinary day, until...
"Master!!"
The door of the association was pulled open abruptly, and a crisp shout interrupted everyone present. They all looked over and saw a purple-haired energetic girl standing at the doorway, her face full of excitement.
Master... Who is she calling?
"Takanashi, is she calling you?"
"No, Evil King's True Eye only has one servant, Totsuka..."
"Come in and sit."
Just as Isshiki Makoto was guessing, Fang Wuwei, who had been lying down, put down his book, sat up, and spoke. Everyone then knew whose disciple this person was.
It was... unexpected, but somehow not very surprising.
