Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

This, what's the situation?

Why is someone pointing a gun at my head?

Ah, does it mean that you usually have to knock before entering a door? That's definitely my fault.

However, seeing the pyroxene magic at such a close distance, it was as bright as the brightest stars in the night sky. For a moment, the first thing I felt was not death, but...

"It's so beautiful." I said subconsciously.

"Hmm?" A slight tail tone came from the other side of the light, and the magic light suddenly disappeared.

Suddenly, my vision fell into a brief darkness.

At the same time, I came to my senses: "Oh, I'm so sorry for barging in without knocking."

“Oh, it’s the Fader. It’s so rare to have such a rare guest.” The other party’s voice was very gentle, just like the return of spring after winter, and the stream flowing in the mountains was no longer as icy as before. “Just now, my reaction was also too extreme. Please forgive me.”

"No, no, no, it's me who forgot my etiquette. I was too excited after killing the monster." I apologized repeatedly, and my vision gradually got used to the dim environment.

Ah, it’s Teacher Selien, the real Teacher Selien!

Just like in the game, in the simple basement in front of me, the teacher was wearing a blue gown with two red shawls hanging from his shoulders, engraved with golden patterns... To be honest, it looked a bit like the red ribbons that the students on duty at the school gate often wore when I was in elementary school.

But on her, the overly cold tones are perfectly balanced, making her look particularly dignified and graceful.

If it weren't for the huge sculpted hood on her head, she would have been a real beauty.

Of course, the sculpture is indeed very delicate and beautiful, and the teacher's appearance in the game also reveals a quiet beauty.

But if you first meet him, no matter who you are, you will think he is a weirdo.

I asked carefully, "Excuse me, are you Teacher Se Lian?"

Hearing this, the other party couldn't help but chuckle, as sweet as the sound of a spring falling on a stone: "My name is indeed Selian, and I was once a teacher at the Rhea Lukalia School of Magic. How did you know this place, Faded One?"

Well, I can't say that I found it based on the memories of the game in another world, or I'll be considered an idiot. Although Wuyong Atai only has 10 intelligence points, which is not high.

"I just happened to pass by the ruins and wanted to explore the treasure inside, so I found you by accident." Well, I am also good at lying~

"Haha~ I see." Teacher Se Lian turned around and leaned on the long table while speaking: "Since you know my name, you must also know the rumors about me! The 'heretic witch' who was exiled from Rhea Lukalia Academy."

Her voice was still so gentle, but I could feel the coldness once again: "Then, please allow me to ask, Faded One, what exactly do you want to do for me?"

"I want to learn magic!"

"Eh?"

"I want to learn magic! Teacher!"

“······Wait, wait.” Teacher Se Lian was unexpectedly thrown off balance, and looked a little cute~

She asked me again: "Although I don't want to advertise, I was expelled from the most prestigious magic school in this land. I am the so-called 'heretic witch' that everyone avoids."

But I still spoke sincerely: "I just want to learn pyroxene magic from you, Teacher Se Lian!"

"..."

Teacher Se Lian was silent for a long time. Perhaps he was really moved by me. I could only hear a funny but helpless sigh from under the sculpture's hood: "You are also a weirdo. You must be careful when choosing your apprentice."

My eyes should be firm enough, without any trace of remorse.

Teacher Se Lian also looked me up and down again and nodded slightly: "As expected of a warrior from one of the strongest legions in the border area - the Faded One, you do have the most basic qualifications... I am willing to accept you as my disciple."

"Great!"

"But!" Teacher Se Lian's voice changed, "I won't teach you gently. Since you agreed, don't regret it!"

"Of course, Teacher Se Lian. I want to learn the most basic pyroxene magic gravel first." I have just dealt with the crazy pumpkin-headed soldier and have plenty of runes, so I might as well start learning.

Teacher Se Lian walked to the bookshelf on one side of the basement, and while selecting books, he sighed: "Although I have heard that you Faded Ones pursue power, but you are so eager to learn... Okay, take out your staff."

"Eh?"

“Hey…what are you doing?”

The teacher, who was holding a book and a staff and preparing to start teaching, and I, who had a rune condensed in my hand, looked at each other in surprise.

Ok?

"Isn't it possible in this world to just use runes to buy magic skills?" I woke up as if from a dream.

“It can’t be that simple, stupid disciple! Pyroxene magic is the most ancient and greatest magic! It originates from the vast and majestic universe, where the destiny of each and every one of us lies! Powerful astrologers can even interpret their own future from the stars!...” Teacher Se Lian suddenly changed his gentle image, picked up the pyroxene magic wand and poked my head.

"Oh, that hurts, teacher."

"······And pyroxene magic is the magic that our magic sages have realized. They have comprehended a small part of the power contained in the stars in the universe. With the help of pyroxene made from star fragments, they have displayed miraculous magic power!······Do you understand a little bit?"

The endless preaching was like an endless wave that pushed me out of the magical ocean and onto the beach.

The useless Ati with ten points of intelligence has crashed.

I could only burst into tears and said, "I know I was wrong. I'm sorry."

"If you were in college, I would have to find some books related to the origin of pyroxene and the history of stars and teach you to study them carefully." Teacher Se Lian seemed a little depressed and disappointed.

"Red bean paste private Marseille! (I'm really sorry!)"

·······There is no way to appease the teacher, so I can only display the Japanese spirit of craftsmanship.

"What strange things are you talking about? Is it the language on the other side of the fog?" Teacher Se Lian was slightly confused, and then he returned to his previous gentleness, "Forget it, forget it, nothing can be achieved overnight. Disciple, you should also remember this."

"Yes!"

"Go find a pyroxene magic wand. Bring it with you and I will teach you later."

"I will do it as soon as possible! I will not let the teacher down this time!"

Se Lian shook his head helplessly, turned around and put the book in his hand on the table.

"By the way, Teacher Se Lian, I have another question." I remembered another purpose of coming here.

"tell me the story."

"Do you know the magic that can transform you?"

"Well, that's just a trick of the demihumans, often used to ambush prey. Of course, it is rumored that Queen Marika also likes this kind of magic and often uses it to play pranks." Teacher Seren asked casually, but there was a hint of displeasure in his tone, "Why, do you want to learn that?"

I shook my head. "After a friend of mine used this magic, he couldn't change back. How can I break it?"

Teacher Se Lian pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Generally speaking, the caster can naturally break the magic he or she casts... But my disciple, you must know that the source of magic is our hearts..."

"Hey, teacher, didn't you just say that the source is the stars in the universe?"

"This is different from that. Hey, if I can go back to the academy, I will definitely tutor you well!" Teacher Se Lian exuded a chill again.

Does this person still have Spartan attributes?

——Okay, I'd better shut up.

"Let's get back to your topic." The teacher continued, "Like I said just now, since he can't change back, maybe it's not a magic problem, but he doesn't want to change back?"
