"Hmm, I’ll help you look for it when I get home."
Tang Ruobing nodded and replied.
"Thanks."
Ye Mingqiu sincerely thanked him.
Actually, before asking Tang Ruobing, he had already searched online by himself, but unfortunately, he didn’t find any useful techniques. Most of what appears online are very basic universal magic system techniques, nothing useful.
Learning the magic system to become a Mage not only has economic barriers but also knowledge barriers. After all, for a Mage, knowledge is power.
Having a Mage friend is undoubtedly a great help in learning universal techniques.
"Okay."
Tang Ruobing nodded and asked, "Do you have any extra food? I mean food from the Spirit Realm, next time when we gather... can you share some with me?"
"Sure."
Ye Mingqiu sighed inwardly about how truly poor this guy was, while glancing at his own storage space, looking at the array of food and various mountains of living tools, his emotions were incredibly complex.
"I won’t eat it for free; before they arrive, I can talk about your casting problems first."
"Firstly, why do you cast with your eyes closed? In actual combat, closing your eyes means you can’t accurately lock onto the target’s position, which is a major taboo in combat. You must train your focus until you can observe your opponent’s actions and cast simultaneously, using different strategies for different situations."
"Secondly, your casting precision has great issues, wasting a lot of unnecessary spiritual energy. Nearby spiritual energy requires skill; you need to feel the rhythm of the magic, sense the breathing of the magic, and control it according to its tempo..."
....
Afternoon, 3:57
Lei Peng, Ke Fanxing, and Lin Feng arrived together for the meeting, stepped inside, and saw Tang Ruobing and Ye Mingqiu sitting in the lounge area, discussing magic theories, while speaking and practicing use at the same time.
"Don’t close your eyes, don’t shift your gaze, look into my eyes, then cast. Turn casting into a combat instinct, rather than a deliberate action." Tang Ruobing said, staring into Ye Mingqiu’s eyes.
Then, in the three’s unbelievably shocked gaze off to the side, Ye Mingqiu stared at Tang Ruobing as he conjured a blazing flame in his hand, the sound of burning resonating in the frozen air.
"What... what did I just see?"
Lei Peng’s mouth twitched, turning his eyes to his good buddies beside him, only to see Ke Fanxing and Lin Feng similarly fall into disbelief and shock.
What did they see?
A support using magic! And it was self-taught, enlightened magic!
Right after, the deep-red fireball swiftly shot out, accompanied by a sound splitting through the air, it blasted towards the target in the exclusive training room, with Ye Mingqiu’s face printed on the target.
"Boom!!"
The flames exploded instantly, leaving scorched marks on the target and making a loud booming sound.
"Did we... did we take the wrong path?"
Ke Fanxing said with an awkward smile.
"No... no! This is exactly right, exactly how it should be!"
Lin Feng suddenly started to speak excitedly, as if discovering a new world, saying, "I understand now... I understand it all!"
"What do you understand?"
"Ye Mingqiu was never a waste from the beginning. His support system theory scores were low, not because he didn’t study seriously, but because he devoted almost all his time to studying magic theory, and he’s inherently a magic system genius! He learned to cast even before becoming a Spiritualist!"
Lin Feng’s breath was rapid, his complexion flushed, his heartbeat pounding as if it was about to leap out from his stomach.
"What?"
"Is it true?"
Lei Peng and Ke Fanxing still didn’t believe it.
Thus, Lin Feng continued to explain, saying, "Didn’t any of you suspect? A normal support system, no matter how suitable the talent, can’t get a Hero Level profession, right? Is it reasonable? Is it possible?"
"There’s only one answer."
"He’s been waiting for this opportunity all along! He knew the boss from the start, successfully joining the entrance exam prep team wasn’t by chance, the Spring of Life baptism was even anticipated long ago, everything did fall within his calculation range! And next, what he’s plotting is the monthly exam!"
Lin Feng spoke with increasing excitement, pulling the two beside him to continue speaking: "Do you know? Having a Hero Level support in a team is completely different!"
"Their support is Elite Level, our support is Hero Level, directly two ranks above them, after a bit of development time we can securely win victory! Get more resources, attend better universities!"
"No wonder.... no wonder."
Lei Peng also suddenly realized, pulling the two aside to continue saying: "Before you came, I was separately chatting with Ye Mingqiu, and got caught by the boss.... she gave me a tough time."
"At that time, I didn’t think much of it, thought the boss just pays attention to new teammates, nothing special, but now hearing you say this, I think it’s entirely possible the boss is interested in him, the relationship might not be ordinary."
"Exactly, exactly, I also felt their relationship seemed unusual, didn’t look like a first meeting. Although they put on an act externally, many details can’t be faked.... last time during the gathering, the boss gave him equipment because his talent was good, and this guy gave the boss an IOU without hesitation...."
Ke Fanxing rubbed his chin, continued thinking and said: "That feeling... as if he already received many favors before, not wanting to owe more."
"Exactly, exactly."
"Oh right, I heard from his class..."
"And yeah..."
"Oh my gosh... resting for two hours in the infirmary? Stamina’s pretty good!"
"That’s right, anyone getting a Hero Level profession is definitely extraordinary? This guy appears ordinary and weak as a support, but in reality could probably solo better than you!"
"Can’t mess with... can’t mess with them..."
....
The three got more and more enthusiastic as they chatted, feeling like they had endless topics to discuss, believing they had completely seen through the truth, even gossiping about private life more absurdly.
"What are you talking about?"
Tang Ruobing suddenly shouted, looking at the three with somewhat hostile eyes.
"Ah, nothing, nothing, we were just saying Brother Qiu can use magic, simply too strong, how can there be such an amazing support system, totally like a fighter jet among supports!" Lei Peng explained with a smile.
"Yeah, yeah, we don’t understand those magic techniques you’re talking about, staying too close we’re afraid to disrupt your learning, so hesitated to approach." Lin Feng chimed in to explain.
"Me too," said Ke Fanxing.
"Hmph, come over for the meeting."
Tang Ruobing snorted lightly, not calculating, just coldly said: "This meeting has very important matters to discuss, be serious."
"Alright~"
"Got it~"
