Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Colin raised his hand again, and a strong wind suddenly rose from the ground, blowing the surrounding trees to the ground, and the ladies hurriedly held down their skirts. The dense weeds on the ground that no one had taken care of were bent by the wind, revealing palm-sized stones.

"Ah——!" An Qi screamed and backed away with a pale face. "These are...! What the hell is this place!"

This quiet football field-sized lawn surrounded by dark trees and black iron fences is actually dotted with low tombstones, sleeping quietly in the grass. It turns out that this is a cemetery...

"This is the final resting place for some of your seniors." Professor Colin spoke up amid the uproar, his eyes somewhat desolate. "Many of them were once brilliant geniuses, with rich imagination and creativity that amazed the teachers. However, some of them lacked awe for magic, and changed spells and rituals at will, harming themselves. Some of them lacked sympathy for ordinary people, and violated the rules by using humans or other intelligent creatures as subjects for their magic experiments, acting recklessly and harming others. They were eventually burned at the stake by the Mages Guild or the Church of Light."

Among the noble women, the brown curly-haired lady with the thinnest waist either couldn't breathe because the corset was too tight, or was frightened by Mr. Colin's words and the strange tombstones on the ground, so she couldn't bear it anymore and fell down softly, causing another round of panic screams.

"This is the first lesson you must learn when you enter the Goletia School of Magic. No matter how you grow up in the future, you must always have awe for magic and life." Colin glanced at the fainted girl. "Just like this lady."

…But she seemed to be the teacher who was strangled by herself.

Lilith thought silently and understood what Professor Colin meant. Children's minds are too simple, and they have too clear likes and dislikes for people and things. It is easy for them to act arbitrarily based on the most superficial cognition. And mastering magic too early is equivalent to releasing nuclear weapons to ignorant children, which is undoubtedly very irresponsible and very dangerous. Just looking at the tombstones on this ground, one can imagine that they must have caused many sighing tragedies in the past.

Lilith felt that the academy's approach was very wise. Life is like this. The longer you live, the more you worry. Even a heartless person from another world like her gradually has many worries, let alone others. Raising the admission age to twelve years old is to give these future magicians who are almost unconstrained by secular etiquette time to create some worldly ties so that they can be cautious in their future actions. And the older they are, the stronger their fear of death is, and naturally they will no longer mess around with their own lives or the lives of others.

Of course, age restrictions are just one of the methods. After listening to Colin's words, it seems that the magical world also has its own code of conduct and trial institutions. Lilith, who grew up in a society ruled by law, felt relieved after hearing this.

Teacher Colin looked at the group of people who were as quiet as lambs at this moment and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the warning education this time was very good and worthy of being included in the lesson plan. He clapped his hands again to attract the attention of the children.

"I believe you already understand the dangers of magic. Don't worry too much. If a wizard wants to cause great damage, he needs tremendous mental strength to support it. And now you are magic apprentices. Compared with the magician whose mental strength is as vast as a lake, your mental strength may be only as big as a walnut. You can't make any big trouble. So in the next few years, you should have no chance of being buried here." Teacher Colin tried to comfort them, but Lilith knew how effective the comfort was when she saw the fat boy next to her who was still pale.

Then Colin briefly introduced the levels of magicians. First-year students like Lilith can only be called the most basic magic apprentices, and are in the initial stage of learning and exploration. When the magic apprentice's mental power and control over magic elements gradually become stronger, and he can cast some simple spells and magic, he can be called a primary magician. And so on, the following levels are intermediate magician, senior magician, and great magician. Many magicians can only reach this stage after a lifetime of learning and exploration.

But even as a great magician, he is already the darling of the world's rules. His lifespan far exceeds that of ordinary humans, and living two or three hundred years is not a problem.

If one has the ability or opportunity to continue to break through, he will reach a new level of control over magic. Such people are honored as Magisters. Above Magisters, there are Grand Magisters and Legendary Magisters who can master unique and powerful magic. These two types are almost like their names, living only in legends. Currently, even the Mages Guild does not have this level of Magisters.

"Whether you can advance depends on how broad your mental power is. The more advanced the spell, the more mental power it consumes. So in addition to teaching you the most basic magical principles, the main purpose of our "Magic Theory" class is to teach you how to improve your mental power through self-exploration and magical meditation." Colin said loudly.

Lilith looked at her classmates who were confused by the various nouns and tried hard to remember the content of the course in her own way. It sounded like a magician needed to use mental power to cast spells, and mental power was like the blue bar in the game she played in her previous life. If the blue bar was insufficient, there was no way to cast a spell. If you want to advance to a higher level magician, you must constantly increase the upper limit of your blue bar. Only then can you cast more powerful and complex spells.

"Now, close your eyes and relax your bodies. Use the method I taught you to try meditation for the first time. Think about things and places that make you happy. If not, sad things are also fine." Colin waved his hand again, and Lilith felt as if her ears were suddenly sucked into a vacuum. There was no longer any noise. The only thing she could hear was her own breathing and the trembling of her heart.

She closed her eyes and tried to think of something that made her happy. The first thing that came to her mind was the familiar forest next to Shelley Town. Before Lilith's memory was awakened, she had spent almost all her childhood playing in that forest, under that huge banyan tree. She couldn't help but smile, as if she was back in the forest of Shelley Town, feeling the warmth of the sun shining through the leaves, and the tickling of fallen leaves brushing against her cheeks.

She seemed to be lying under the familiar tree roots again, collecting leaves on her skirt. Each leaf looked different, and she was enjoying observing their subtle differences...

A snap of fingers sounded——

"Okay, that's all for today's class. Please practice more when you go back and think back to this feeling." The world finally became noisy again, and Lilith could hear her classmates whispering to each other again.

...What, isn't it just the beginning? Lilith opened her eyes in surprise.
