Chapter 183 I look forward to the day when your talent improves
However, if such explosions happen again and again, the surrounding reactions will gradually fade away. Someone somewhere mutters that this is the loudest noise today.
The person who caused the explosion was initially worried about the trouble around him, but now he has boldly thrown himself into using a large amount of magic. He seems to be very happy to be able to release magic, but whether he is aware of this is still a delicate question.
————————————————————
“Huh… Although it feels a little familiar, it’s still not perfect.”
Looking at her staff, Cece's expression became serious. Then -
(One more time, a little bigger this time... eh?)
Ceci released magic again, but unexpectedly lost control and was affected by the explosion.
Fortunately, he was only blown away a little and not seriously injured, but it was still quite dangerous. Ceci stood up and cast his eyes to the scene in front of him.
(I failed... Was it because I was too complacent?)
Simply immersed in joy and lacking focus, Cece felt ashamed and took it for granted that she was failing. At this moment, she remembered what she heard from Courtney a few hours ago.
(Be more careful when success is imminent. I think I understand what Mr. Courtney said. It seems to be what my father said.)
This seems to apply to all practitioners, not just mages.
After all, adventurers always coexist with danger. It is not impossible that a failure could lead to a disaster. Ceci reaffirmed her thoughts and tightened her grip on the wand.
“I have to work harder. It’s not enough to just cause a big explosion.”
“Don’t put yourself down like that. You’re already pretty good.”
"No, I'm still far from enough... Huh?"
The sudden voice of a third party made Ceci look dazed, and he looked around hurriedly. Then, he saw a very suspicious person wearing a bright red robe.
Although the face was hidden by the hood and could not be seen clearly, judging from the voice, it seemed to be a man. The strange smile made people feel unusually cunning.
Facing Ceci's puzzled look, the man smiled slightly: "Sorry, it seems that I scared you. I am just an ordinary magician passing by."
This is absolutely a lie, Ceci cried out in her heart.
(Who is this person? Why is he talking to me?) The more he thought about it, the more confused Ceci became. He glanced around and found that there was no one else on the training ground except them.
Something is indeed wrong. Sensing Ceci's doubt, the man nodded and said, "What's so surprising about this? If explosions continue, everyone will want to leave the scene."
Hearing this, Cece felt the heat rise in her face. She remembered being absorbed in casting magic, but wasn't sure if she had kept her composure.
She wanted to shrink back more and more, this feeling was too embarrassing. So, in order to change the subject, Cece thought hard and asked, "So, what do you want?"
She bit her tongue. There was no doubt that she bit her tongue. Although there was no physical pain, Cece closed her mouth unconsciously.
She carefully peeked at the other person's expression, and the corner of her mouth that appeared from under the hood still maintained the same smile.
She couldn't understand what the other person was thinking. The heat on her face had faded, and Cece felt not only suspicion but even fear of the robed figure opposite her.
It is best not to have anything to do with this person anymore.
Just when Ceci was about to leave, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps on the training ground.
“Hey, what are you doing there!?”
A group of adventurers hurried over, and a man who seemed to be the leader stepped forward and put pressure on the robed figure.
Although he knew that this was not directed at him, Ceci was still startled. However, the key robed figure still maintained a leisurely smile.
"I didn't do anything, right?" The robed figure asked Sisi calmly for his approval. However, Sisi didn't know how to answer.
Perhaps because his attitude was seen as a threat, the leader's expression turned angry: "No matter what, you have to come with us. If you are really not suspicious, then prove it."
Just as the leading man tried to grab the robed figure's arm, the robed figure released magic. The adventurers who came were all shocked, but Ceci seemed to understand the trick.
Most likely, the robed figure released the magic without being noticed, and secretly prepared it beforehand.
Because of this, Cece was surprised in another sense. No magister would not be surprised, considering how difficult this method of application was.
The robed figure released black magic and turned to look at Ceci: "I'm sorry to surprise you. I look forward to the day when your talent will improve."
The robed figure told Ceci this, and then was wrapped in black magic. When the magic dissipated, the robed figure had disappeared.
The people who were left were stunned, but soon the leader regained consciousness and walked towards Ceci: "Little girl, are you okay?"
"Ah, well, thanks for your concern."
"That's good. But who is that guy?" the leading man asked, and the other adventurers just shook their heads.
At this moment, an old man walked over from the entrance of the training ground. "It must be the magician named Lesak. I sensed a familiar magical aura, so I came to take a look. It seems that I am really lucky."
Sergio walked slowly with his arms crossed. As he spoke, he smiled nostalgically. The leader asked, "Mr. Sergio, do you know that person?"
"Something happened in the past. If you want to know about that guy, you can ask the veteran magicians in this village. But having said that, you have worked hard, so you can go back now."
Sergio conveyed this message to the adventurers, suggesting that they could leave. The leader seemed to have made a decision, and he told the others to leave and walked out of the training ground.
Finally, only Sergio and Ceci were left. Sergio sighed and looked at Ceci: "Okay, the weather is a bit strange, let's go to my place."
Ceci tilted her head in confusion: "It doesn't look like it's going to rain?"
“That’s another thing. There’s something else I want to tell you. Well, let’s go.”
Sisi didn't wait for an answer, and Sergio left. This was also a hint that there were not many options. At least that's what Sisi thought.
