This is bad, I'm completely helpless, aren't I?
Huangquanchuan Aisui had been a Teacher for a while, but this was the first time she had encountered such a problematic student.
Sadly, as someone older and more experienced, Huangquanchuan Aisui found that she couldn't even offer the most basic 'life experience'...
Damn it, maybe I should consult other Teachers.
Huangquanchuan Aisui went through her friend list in her mind and found even more sadly that most of her close friends and colleagues were single, just like her.
"..." After a long silence, Huangquanchuan Aisui muttered to herself, "Let's start with the neighbors. I remember Teacher Musashi downstairs just got married not long ago."
Just as Huangquanchuan Aisui was planning to increase her 'life experience' by consulting a 'foreign Teacher', her phone suddenly rang, making a heart-pounding sound.
"Hiss..." Huangquanchuan Aisui sucked in a cold breath—nothing was more terrifying than being contacted about work during vacation. But soon, resignedly, she crawled along the sofa towards where her phone was, muttering, "What happened now?"
Even Guards on vacation were summoned, so it must be a particularly serious incident, right?
"What? Someone broke through the 'main gate' and intruded into Academy City?" Huangquanchuan Aisui's tone suddenly rose. "Are you sure? Is there sufficient evidence? Okay, I understand."
"This is unbelievable," Huangquanchuan Aisui muttered to herself after hanging up. "How long has it been since we encountered such an arrogant stowaway? No, this should be considered an intruder!"
Huangquanchuan Aisui immediately got up, changed clothes, put on her gear, and prepared to set off.
As she went out, the other three Guard Teachers on the same floor who were also on vacation also came out, fully dressed and equipped.
And throughout the entire Family Side apartment building, dozens of Guard Teachers streamed out.
Academy City's border control was very strict, and its defensive equipment and guarding forces were very strong.
In this situation, being able to force their way in by strength clearly meant they couldn't be ordinary small fry.
Allowing such a dangerous person to move freely in the city was undoubtedly a huge threat to public safety.
Therefore, in order to search for that mysterious and powerful intruder, all members of Anti-Skill were deployed!
Just as Anti-Skill was mobilizing collectively, Lin Wuming was in the No Window Building, personally flipping through the original text of the book of the law.
The legendary original grimoire was placed right before him like this. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he would at least feel a strong curiosity towards it.
Lin Wuming flipped through it with interest, but soon felt bored and lost interest.
Firstly, he didn't understand Magic at all, and secondly, he couldn't understand the text on it.
It seemed that for the sake of the book's artistic unity, all the text in the book was written in extremely ornate artistic fonts, so beautiful it looked like a painting, but very difficult to read.
Moreover, as a mystical work from over a hundred years ago, its grammar also had significant differences from modern English.
Not to mention, as the original grimoire, this book of the law inherently concealed countless coded markings between the lines, further increasing the difficulty of interpretation.
Even if the original author were by his side to answer questions at any time, Lin Wuming, being a beginner among beginners, didn't even have the ability to identify problems now.
Lin Wuming's page-turning speed became faster and faster. After quickly flipping through the entire book, he pushed it aside and had no further interest in touching it.
According to the description in the original plot, the original grimoire seemed to possess a certain 'meme contamination' characteristic, instinctively wanting to pass on and spread the knowledge it contained.
Originally, Lin Wuming thought he could use this mechanism to make the grimoire actively send knowledge into his brain.
The result was that, for some reason, the book of the law didn't seem to have that characteristic mentioned above and could only be interpreted and understood by the reader bit by bit.
From the results, Chairman Aleister's act of specifically taking out the original grimoire was like casting pearls before swine.
However, Aleister wasn't particularly disappointed, nor did he dwell on whether Lin Wuming could understand his work.
It was as if he just wanted to show off his past achievements, giving a glimpse of the original text of the book of the law.
The next step was the formal 'teaching phase'—imparting genuine 'Magic' to Lin Wuming.
Based on Lin Wuming's actual needs and considerations regarding the difficulty of teaching, Aleister's 'teaching' method was also very simple and direct.
Specifically, Chairman Aleister would say one step, and Lin Wuming would do one step.
There was no need to understand the underlying theory; all Lin Wuming had to do was follow the instructions and take action.
That is, completing a certain 'ritual'—this was the most classic and easiest way to 'cast spells'.
In the original work, Index successfully guided Teacher Komoe to cast healing Magic using this method.
The source of the recent 'Angel Fall' incident was also because Kamijou Touya, who completely didn't understand Magic, accidentally and coincidentally set up the 'ritual' site, ultimately completing that great Magic.
There was no need to possess magical power; through specific rituals, anyone could cast Magic.
"...Alright, next, place the four colored paper cranes in four specific positions," Aleister commanded. "Then activate them with the corresponding four elements—that shouldn't be difficult for you."
"Water, fire, air, earth, indeed not difficult," Lin Wuming nodded.
Nen Ability was very convenient; even folding paper cranes could be done through Nen Ability.
Creating flames out of thin air, condensing water droplets, and such things were also not a problem.
Boom!
The red paper crane was instantly ignited. As for the other three paper cranes, they remained relatively intact. But because a corner of the 'magic circle' was missing, the ritual failed.
"Very good, I've told you the entire process of the ritual," Chairman Aleister said with satisfaction. "During the actual casting, the final step still requires matching a specific incantation. Just now, it was because the guidance of the incantation was missing that a corner of the flame went out of control and burned down."
Because of the restriction that Superpower and Magic cannot coexist, Chairman Aleister thoughtfully divided the Magic ritual into two parts for teaching. This was to prevent Lin Wuming from suffering a backlash if the spell was cast successfully.
"It seems, not complicated," Lin Wuming commented.
In the entire ritual, the most troublesome part was actually folding the paper cranes—but as long as folded paper cranes were prepared in advance as casting Items, this step could also be skipped.
Furthermore, with Lin Wuming's Nen Ability assistance, completing the entire ritual process wouldn't even take ten seconds.
