Chapter 67

Unlike the struggling Dragon Warriors, Dragon Mages, whether in class or in practical training, were always indoors. The classrooms were spacious, bright, elegant, and fragrant, while the practical training grounds were even more vast, with a serene and fragrant environment.

In short, when Long Yi and Ailin arrived at the Mage's practical training ground, the only thing he felt was the misery of the Dragon Warriors.

In the training ground, the spell instructor looked at Long Yi with a displeased expression. In front of the spell instructor, there were over a dozen students, all of whom looked at him with unfriendly expressions. The four girls the spell instructor had brought over were also among them. Of course, the delicate little boy was probably still lying on a hospital bed.

Looking around, the place was overwhelmingly dominated by females. Among the dozen or so students, there were only three boys, all of whom had fair complexions and delicate builds.

Sigh, this place is indeed a concentration camp for effeminate men, with the air filled with fragrance. Where is the fighting atmosphere?

As the man who had just fought the spell instructor, Long Yi naturally received no attention. He, of course, didn't care whether anyone paid attention to him and headed straight for the group.

Ailin, on the other hand, received a completely different treatment. Her beauty, gentleness, and slight shyness immediately won the favor of a group of young girls. Even the three delicate boys wanted to approach her, but a glare from Long Yi's large eyes immediately made them shrink back obediently.

At this moment, the spell instructor was staring at Ba Jie, who was behind Long Yi.

Ba Jie looked like a fat, round dragon, so cumbersome that he waddled like a penguin, with his fat jiggling with every step. On Ba Jie's back, however, was another dragon.

A Shadow Dragon?

As a spell instructor, knowledge was far more important than strength. The spell instructor immediately recognized the dragon's attributes. Could such a peculiar dragon actually form a contract with a knight? According to legend, Shadow Dragons completely despised Dragon Knights, their arrogance reaching a level that even other dragons found intolerable. In an era where Dragon Knights dominated the skies, there were still dragons that looked down on Dragon Knights. Shadow Dragons were truly unique. For Long Yi to find a Shadow Dragon, he might indeed have some talent.

Looking at the top of Ba Jie's head, the palm-sized little girl, no matter how one looked at her, was clearly a young Fairy Dragon that had yet to spread its wings. Could this guy be a triple Dragon Knight? How is that possible? If Shadow Dragons despised Dragon Knights, then Fairy Dragons despised all humans! In their eyes, humans were as laughable as monkeys, and only elves could勉强 converse with Fairy Dragons. And this little Fairy Dragon was actually sleeping on top of Ba Jie's head! To call oneself a Dragon Knight, can this Fairy Dragon even be ridden?

There have been cases of Fairy Dragon Knights in human history, but the knight and the Fairy Dragon were always in a romantic relationship.

A romantic relationship!

Even as an effeminate man, the spell instructor felt a twinge of jealousy in his heart at that moment!

Looking at the little Fairy Dragon, the spell instructor's expression grew increasingly unfriendly, and he inwardly called Long Yi a "beast."

Suddenly, Long Yi felt a chill all over his body, and a mysterious anger seemed to emanate from the spell instructor. Long Yi became even more puzzled. Why is the spell instructor looking at me like I'm a beast? What's wrong with him? Just because I won against him once? Is he so angry that he's resorting to any means?

"Cough, cough!"

The spell instructor also realized that, as a teacher and a spell instructor, such emotions were inappropriate. His face turned slightly red, and he tried to hide his feelings before speaking. "Long Yi, Ailin, you two have been promoted to the second year mid-term. You should have received your textbooks yesterday. However, since this is a practical class, you can read the textbooks here on your own, focusing on 'Introduction to Spell Studies' and 'Basic Rune System.' I'll guide the others first, and then I'll come to assist you."

Long Yi nodded, and his impression of the spell instructor improved. Since entering the academy, he had challenged two instructors and one mentor, but none of them held any grudges and still patiently taught him. This made Long Yi look at them with new respect. It's no wonder the White Dragon Empire could stand firm among many empires. The strength of a nation isn't determined by just four white dragons; it's more about the ordinary Dragon Knights and even the warriors fighting on the ground.

Long Yi and Ailin found a quiet corner and took out their textbooks. Unlike Long Yi, Ailin had already read these textbooks. As a spell genius, not only had she memorized the second-year textbooks, but even the fifth-year textbooks were already etched in her mind.

Long Yi, on the other hand, was a bit different. If you asked him to learn someone else's techniques, he might understand after two readings; but if you asked him to read a textbook, Long Yi's head would immediately feel like it was about to explode. Fortunately, the genius Ailin always had a way of explaining things in a simple and clear manner, making it easy for Long Yi to understand.

Before long, the spell instructor had finished guiding the practical training and came to Long Yi. He saw Ailin teaching Long Yi, both of them very focused and not deliberately avoiding anyone. The spell instructor listened for a moment, and immediately, sweat appeared on his forehead.

This little girl's understanding of spells was not at all inferior to his own! Moreover, there seemed to be some theories he had never heard of!

"Cough, cough, Ailin, you just said that the angle of the spell's flow in the meridian circuit is based on a semi-closed function, and the speed of the flow has a vector relationship with its dynamic angle?"

The spell instructor leaned in.

"Yes, as you can see, by substituting the values into the spell dynamics formula and using the third theorem to solve, the result can be precise to 28 decimal places. Adding the 17th formula of dragon mechanics, the result is exactly like this, isn't it?"

Ailin said a series of things that Long Yi couldn't understand at all, but it immediately left the spell instructor speechless.

"Ailin, the spell dynamics formula is taught in the third year, and the third theorem and the 17th formula of dragon mechanics are taught in the fifth year. These formulas are used to solve the energy output of strategic spells. You using them like this... You using them like this... is truly genius!!!"

The spell instructor was ecstatic. As a scholar, although he was just a second-year spell instructor, his true identity was a member of the Royal Spell Research Institute!

In the past year, the spell instructor had been stuck on a difficult problem, almost to the point of despair. To relax his mind, he had volunteered to come to the relatively relaxed second year as a mentor, hoping to find a few students who could satisfy him.

The Royal Spell Research Institute, as the name suggests, was a place for researching spells! There, new spells were continuously studied and perfected, ranging from lighting to world-destroying powers, all originating from there.

In fact, on the battlefield, truly super-destructive spells rarely appeared. This wasn't because they couldn't be researched; in reality, by piling up enough spell power, there was nothing in the world that couldn't be destroyed.

However, such super spells were extremely difficult to control. A slight mistake could result in a thousand enemies being injured and eight hundred of one's own forces being damaged. In human history, there were two instances of super spells, which led to the instant disappearance of two cities and countless casualties. After that, although countries continued to research more destructive spells, they tacitly agreed never to use them on the battlefield again.

Now, the focus of research in the spell institutes of various countries was on conventional spells, aiming to further enhance their attack power, precision, and reduce the spell power consumption. This had become one of the key points in the arms race among countries.

The old scholars increasingly felt they were entering a bottleneck. Often, they knew certain spell combinations were feasible, but due to the lack of precise formulas and theoretical support, they could only test them bit by bit. Spells were extremely precise, and sometimes, even testing bit by bit might not find the right point.

Today, Ailin, with just a few words, derived a new theorem using three classic formulas!

Although it had not yet been rigorously tested and derived, the spell instructor could determine that even if the theorem wasn't precisely correct, it could open a new door to the precise theorem!

"Ailin, Ailin! You, you've really helped me a lot! This formula! Oh my God! I must go to the institute immediately! You two can study on your own from now on!"

Saying this, the spell instructor, without any of his usual effeminate mannerisms, rushed out of the training ground. Soon, the sound of a flying dragon landing and then taking off was heard, and the noise quickly faded away.

"Um, I guess you've made history. Future Dragon Knight Academy students will probably have to memorize the Ailin Theorem, right?"

Long Yi收回了目光，笑着说道。

“真的？”

“当然是真的，后世传说中必然有美女大师艾琳浓墨重彩的一笔！”

Long Yi said offhandedly.

Ailin's face turned a bit red. She didn't notice the term "master," but she heard the word "beauty." This seemed to be the first time Long Yi had called her beautiful!

This rule was something she had summarized herself at the age of four. She hadn't taken it seriously because, in her view, it was completely obvious and didn't need to be mentioned. But from the looks of it, it seemed that no one knew about it.

Since it was self-study, they might as well study on their own. Reading textbooks had always been Long Yi's weak point. Although he was confident that if the spell instructor demonstrated a spell in front of him, he could understand it, there was a fundamental difference between imitation and understanding the principles. Long Yi didn't plan to be lazy about this.
