Chapter 45

Intermediate apprentices, due to the broadening of their horizons and knowledge, can quickly get started when learning low-level magic and almost non-lethal magical tricks.

And the time and effort spent on this are not too much.

With the warning from his mentor Mosido, Sain has, over the past three years, consciously chosen only some low-level magic that he can use.

Mastering various types of magic has allowed Sain to be truly called a "magician."

During the process of learning magic and alchemy, Sain even found time to learn an improved version of the nutritional potion and some introductory knowledge of potion-making from Melly.

The somewhat cluttered laboratory was tidied up in less than half an hour by Sain and his senior sister, Phyllis.

As a formal magician, Mosido's experimental content and scale are much more complex than Sain's.

Over the years, Sain has done a lot of alchemical equipment with Mosido.

Most of this alchemical equipment is not single pieces of gear but some special magical devices.

Sain doesn't know what these magical devices are specifically used for, but an alchemy apprentice's intuition tells him that these magical devices are likely a set of equipment that needs to be used together.

After tidying up the laboratory, Senior Sister Phyllis, panting, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her fair wrist.

Senior Sister Phyllis's constitution is much worse than Sain's. Just one night of experiments and half an hour of tidying up made her this tired.

On the contrary, Sain himself looked normal. With his current mental state, he could work for another day without any problem.

"Truly a strong little guy," Senior Sister Phyllis thought, looking at Sain, who was doing the final touches at the experimental table, with a strange expression.

"Have you thought about what I mentioned to you last week?" Phyllis asked Sain, propping her chin in her hands.

Senior Sister Phyllis's question made Sain look somewhat awkward.

Over the years, Senior Sister Phyllis has indeed taken care of Sain a lot, but the request she mentioned a week ago...

Sain's expression made Senior Sister Phyllis huff.

"Is it that you don't think I'm good enough, this old hag?" Phyllis said.

"You're just worried about your girlfriend finding out, right? We can be discreet," Phyllis said.

Phyllis's words made Sain's forehead break out in a sweat.

A week ago, Senior Sister Phyllis suddenly mentioned wanting to spend a night with Sain to experience the feeling of being young.

Her sudden request left Sain speechless at the time.

Perhaps Phyllis herself also felt that her request was too sudden, so after some casual chatter, she told Sain to think about it carefully.

Now a week has passed, and Sain thought she was joking about it last week.

But today, Senior Sister Phyllis brought it up again.

Senior Sister Phyllis is well-preserved, looking only in her twenties, especially with her very fair skin, which has a milky scent when you get close.

But her real age is definitely not as young as she appears.

Magicians have various means to maintain their youth and even extend their lifespan.

Sain's mentor Mosido and senior brother Zorro are representatives of those who don't care much about their appearance.

This seems to be a characteristic of most male magicians.

They either pursue knowledge and power or are obsessed with experiments and magic meditation, leaving no time for other things.

Only female magicians pay extra attention to their skin, teeth, hair, and even nails.

Sain's senior sister Phyllis is one of them. He knows that the reason she makes nutritional potions is because she spent time learning alchemy to make those skin and figure maintenance potions.

The nutritional potion is just a byproduct of her learning process, and from the strange taste and formula of the nutritional potion she made, it's clear that her focus was not on this.

Not only Senior Sister Phyllis, but even the cold-tempered Lina sometimes uses a bit of the skincare potion given to her by Melly.

It seems that a love for beauty is a natural trait of most female magicians.

Sain thinks that Senior Sister Phyllis is probably over forty, but he didn't dare to ask about her real age because the last time he asked, he was scolded by her.

Sain's stammering and lack of response made Senior Sister Phyllis clench her teeth.

To be honest, although Sain is not a virgin and has a girlfriend, Lina, he really has no experience with girls' thoughts.

Especially in this situation, which goes beyond the theoretical scope of the magic knowledge he has learned. What should he do?

Should he, like he did with Lina, let things happen naturally and make it happen?

Or should he, like he did with the beginner apprentice Titty a few years ago, directly refuse?

Given his close relationship with Senior Sister Phyllis, he clearly can't treat her the way he treated Titty.

But when it comes to being with Senior Sister Phyllis, Sain feels it's too soon; their relationship doesn't seem to have reached that level.

Sain is at a loss about what to do, but his senior sister Phyllis is decisive.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought it up out of the blue a week ago.

"Hmph, you're getting a great deal. Your senior sister hasn't been with any other men before."

"If it weren't for your good looks and the fact that you suit me after these years, I wouldn't have chosen you so easily," Phyllis said, standing up and crossing her arms, sneering at Sain.

Without waiting for Sain to say anything, Senior Sister Phyllis issued an ultimatum: "In three days, come to my dorm. You know where I live."

"If you don't want to come, I won't force you, but don't bother me in the future!"

Senior Sister Phyllis huffed and turned to leave the laboratory.

Sain was left in the laboratory, looking troubled and confused.

"Really, this kid is too dense. Is it that my charm has declined?" Phyllis thought, somewhat annoyed, as she left the laboratory. At the same time, a magical mirror appeared in her hand.

This mirror was made for her by her senior brother Zorro. Unlike Sain, who focuses entirely on the mysteries of magic and elements, Phyllis sometimes pays attention to other things.

The Phyllis in the magical mirror still looks young and beautiful, with no signs of aging.

But Phyllis, who knows her skin and true condition, can see a faint fine line at the root of her eyebrows.

This fine line has been there for a month, and no matter what skincare potions or magical elixirs she uses, it won't go away.

Life and youth cannot be bought back with money or anything else.

Unless Phyllis can advance to a formal magician and achieve a fundamental transformation of life.

Otherwise, no matter how hard she tries, she can only slow down aging, not truly restore her youth.

"Take advantage of your youth and experience it. Otherwise, when you're completely old, it won't be meaningful."

"Can I really break through to a formal magician? But I'm still quite far from being a quasi-magician. Even if I break through in the future, if I'm too old, the restored youth will be limited."

"Better to give myself away early. I still remember twenty years ago, the apprentices at the Black Magic Academy who pursued me could fill the entire teaching building."

"Poor Alon, why did you die so early? Among those apprentices who pursued me, you were the one I liked the most."

"But it's better that you died. Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited for this handsome and steady junior."

"Ha ha, I hope this little guy doesn't stand me up in three days."

"Ugh, I'm almost that age. Is it wrong for me to want to experience it?" Senior Sister Phyllis muttered to herself.

Perhaps thinking of an unpleasant outcome, Phyllis stomped her heel on the ground and said with a fierce expression, "If he doesn't come, I'll force him."

"His girlfriend is stronger than him. Could they have been so good back then?" Phyllis speculated maliciously.
