章節 25: Tell me about the entire process
'This girl is truly a talented genius!'
'Not only did she successfully practice according to my nonsensical instructions, but she also managed to refine diamond bones!'
'No matter what. I must keep this student of mine!'
'Whether or not I can become unparalleled in the world depends on her efforts!'
'If I had known that she has such a function. I would have made up some immortal cultivator techniques.'
'Can I still find some radioactive material to throw her in? Or maybe a special spider that can give us powers?'
Matthew was very excited and his thoughts were all over the place.
He wanted to gain as much as possible from his hidden system and monster like student.
'Well. I have some room to maneuver…'
'Since I have told her that this is just the level of an apprentice mage, I can continue to make things up.'
'I must think carefully about the future direction of this whole mage thing, not only should I make it easier but I should make it become very powerful.'
'What kind of system do I have exactly? Do I have to solely depend on my student's success in practicing my made up nonsense in order to improve?"
The system window that had popped up in his vision had long since disappeared, as if it had never existed.
He tried calling, but he just couldn't find any trace of the system.
It was an undeniable fact that that his sudden strength increase was directly linked to the system, and that his student Natasha was an important factor.
'What I should do next, it to keep the façade!'
'As long Natasha thinks I am unfathomable, I can continue coming up with levels, techniques, and strength boosts.'
"The silly disciple came over and continued to fool him, letting him know how powerful he is as a teacher.
…
Natasha was very excited to the the phenomena happening around her when she became an apprentice mage.
She was very intoxicated with the feeling of her strength.
"Is what it means to become a mage?"
"This is what it feels like to become an apprentice mage?!"
"Hmph, who said I was stupid? Who said that it was just fairy tails? Who…"
Natasha, who was excited, happy, and full of endless yearning, suddenly felt a terrifying momentum rising.
An extremely powerful force that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth rose into the sky.
She looked up and she shocked!
"Teacher?!"
His terrifying mana rushed hundreds of feet into the sky, attracting phenomena that was bigger in scale and volatility than her own.
She felt that if her mana was like a stream, then her teacher's mana was that of a torrential sea.
Gulp!——
The terrifying pressure made Natasha subconsciously swallow a mouthful of saliva.
It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured on her, thus calming down her previously excited state.
"There is no comparison at all!"
"I still have a long way to go!"
At that moment, Natasha felt her insignificance, she remembered that she had just become an apprentice mage and was just starting out.
What was there to be proud of?
'The teacher must have seen that I was becoming too proud, so he showed some of his strength to show me that my strength was too superficial!'
"I must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, I must be humble and low-key, and above all I must practice hard!"
Thinking of this, Natasha reigned in her mana and controlled her strength, thus dispelling the phenomena, and quickly jogged over to Mathew.
"Teacher, I have finally managed to become an apprentice mage!"
At this moment, Matthew's hair was fully black, his wrinkles were a lot less, and he looked like he was in his thirties.
He quickly switched over to his powerful mage persona, he suppressed his excitement, and placed one hand behind his back with a calm expression.
Matthew then looked at Natasha with a relieved expression and complimented her.
"Good! Very good! You have done well!"
He then realized that she was slightly uncomfortable, so he quickly collected his mana and made an excuse on the spot.
"You saw that right? That is the minimum amount of mana you need for you to be considered to have hit the ceiling of the apprentice mage realm."
Matthew said lightly.
"Yes teacher, I will guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and I will practice in a steady manner!"
Natasha responded with a look of shame on her face.
Matthew was not fully sure what was going on in Natasha's little head, so he nodded lightly and changed the subject.
"One year, that is the amount of time I had given you to become an apprentice mage."
"It takes me very happy that you managed to do it much earlier than the deadline."
After saying this, he slowly made his way to the chair under the tree.
Due to the tacit understanding that that had cultivated during this time, when Natasha saw this, she quickly went to brew a pot of tea for Matthew, to moisten his throat.
When she came back, Matthew took a sip and continued.
"There is no end to the path of a mage, and since you are just getting started, you still have a long way to go."
"As your guide on this path, I should ask you first, are you determined truly determined to walk the path of a mage?"
Matthew asked with a solemn expression.
"Yes, I am very determined, and I am set on walking this path!"
Natasha did not think for more than half a second before responding.
Then she quickly regained her energy.
"Teacher, are you going to accept me as an official student and teach me about the path of becoming a mage?!"
"Yes, from today on, you will officially become my apprentice!"
Hearing this, Natasha was very excited and jumped up a few times to express her joy.
'How did this silly girl take all of that nonsense I fed her, and used it to become a mage?'
Unable to suppress the curiosity scratching at his heart, Matthew decided to ask her.
"Natasha, it is very important to review the your previous practice after improving a level, so I want you tell me about your entire practice process."
"You should start from sensing mana, tell me about how you refined your skin, bones, organs, and how you tied everything together."
When Matthew got the feedback from his system, his mind naturally received the information for the process of practicing, from sensing mana, to becoming an apprentice mage.
What he was curious about, was whether these processes were by Natasha herself, and if so, how, and if not, could she have been helped by his system?
This information could affect the direction of his future development plan.
If Natasha had comprehended these methods by herself, then he can use her feedback to better make up future methods of improving strength.
His made up methods can be regarded as a set of illusory theories, and Natasha would be the person turning these illusory theory into actual methods.
Only by understanding how Natasha transformed the fake methods into real method of practice can he continue to make up subsequent methods and subsequent mage realms.
Matthew had a feeling that making up the methods of practice required a certain theory.
Even if it is just illusory theories, there must be connections between the different realms and clear level distinctions.
For example, it probably be unreasonable to make Natasha who just refined her body to be able to fly in the next realm.
Matthew suspected that these vague feelings were transmitted to him by his hidden system.
"Yes teacher!"
When Natasha heard the request, she felt excited.
She felt that Matthew wanted to give her some advice, so that she could fully understand the processes she went through so that she can understand the path of a mage better.
Without much more thought, she began to recount her experiences.
She explained how she understood the "profound meanings" of Matthew's words and advice.
Matthew listened quietly, nodding from time to time, but his heart was filled with a number feeling.
'Does this girl a lot of vitamins to supplement her brain?'
'She is extremely good at interpreting people's words changing their meanings while adding other layers of meaning!
"The techniques you taught me are truly mysterious and extraordinary."
"It only took me such a long time to understand because I am dull."
"It is only because of your constant encouragement that I was able to make this far!"
"… at that time I was already satisfied with the golden bones, but it was only because of your encouragement that I was able to temper diamond bones!"
"If it weren't for your metaphor that allowed me to temper diamond bones.."
Natasha excitedly told her story, and at times she would show an expression of shame, as feeling that she was not worthy of all of Matthew's care.
Although he kept a straight face, Mathew was both dumbfounded and confused.
'Are you sure I said that?...'
'Damn am I so awesome?...'
'When did I instruct you to temper diamond bones?'
Even though he knew that Natasha misunderstood him, he still took the credit.
"Well! You being able to understand my metaphor shows that your understanding is acceptable."
"Everything is all thanks to your guidance. If you had not instructed me to hunt down the fire maned wolf in the Lefifi Forest, I would not have been able to temper the diamond bone."
Natasha responded with respect and admiration
Hearing this, Matthew's scalp was a little numb.
He now understood that whether it was the lion or the fire maned wolf, it was Natasha who killed them.
Instead of gathering guards and hunters to take action, she had gone there by herself.
'That tiger looked very powerful, but Natasha actually hunted it down?!'
"Tell me about your process of hunting the fire maned wolf."
Matthew's expression was calm and his tone was steady, as if he wanted to point out his student's shortcomings in hunting the fire maned wolf.
"Yes teacher!"
Natasha recount her encounter with the fire maned wolf.
During the process, Matthew's face was calm, but his heart was horrified.
'Was the fire maned wolf so ferocious?'
It could no longer an ordinary beast.
What's even more terrifying was that Natasha had actually killed the it with her bare hands and used it to temper her diamond bones!
From Natasha's narration, he could tell how dangerous that battle was.
