All-around teacher at the magic academy

"Are you really planning to participate in the upcoming competition?" A hint of surprise flashed in Leon's eyes as he looked at the student before him.

“That’s right, teacher.” Hansen’s answer was firm and unwavering, his gaze honest and resolute as he looked directly at Leon.

"You must be a first-year student who just enrolled, right?" Leon asked tentatively, clearly surprised by Hansen's request.

“That’s true, teacher,” Hansen confirmed.

Leon scrutinized Hansen's attitude and couldn't help but feel a touch of admiration for the young student's determination.

"So, what brings you here today?" Leon asked curiously, since the competition registration wasn't done in his office.

"I've come here to earnestly request that you, teacher, teach me some more advanced magic. With my current abilities, I'm worried that I'm not qualified enough to represent the academy in the competition."

Therefore, I hope that my teacher will be generous in imparting some powerful magic to me. Whatever your conditions, as long as they are within my capabilities, I will do my best to fulfill them.” Hansen lowered his head and expressed his request sincerely.

Leon fell silent. This guy was completely different from what he had imagined. He had checked his background after their first meeting.

Good heavens, I was shocked when I looked into it. Leon was genuinely taken aback by this guy's background.

He's the son of his boss's boss, and now he's standing right in front of him, bowing his head and begging to be taught.

Leon couldn't help but daydream for a moment. "Captain," he thought, "my status is actually higher than yours now. Your boss's son is my student." He hadn't realized that being a teacher could actually lead to an invisible rise in status.

"Ahem." He coughed lightly twice to ease the sudden awkwardness, then asked, "So, which specific types of magic do you want to learn?"

Hansen was taken aback by the question; he hadn't really thought about it specifically. He simply longed to learn powerful magic, but he didn't have a clear goal regarding what specific magic to learn.

Leon noticed Hansen's hesitation and immediately understood his thoughts. The student's desire for magic was genuine, but he was completely clueless about the specific direction of magic.

"So, what magic do you currently possess?" Leon decided to first understand Hansen's existing abilities.

"I have learned the magic of wind, fire, water, and ice," Hansen answered truthfully.

"Hmm..." Leon pondered for a moment, gaining a basic understanding of Hansen's magical foundation. "How well have you mastered these elemental spells?"

"Do you want to enhance your existing magical skills, or do you want to learn some entirely new magic?" Leon offered two options, though Hansen could actually choose both.

"Will I have the opportunity to learn some new, high-intensity magic?" Hansen asked cautiously, with a hint of anticipation.

“Of course,” Leon replied. He hadn’t expected Hansen to make such a choice, and thought to himself, “This kid is pretty smart.” However, his behavior sometimes did make him seem a bit clueless.

“I have two powerful spells for you to choose from: one is lightning magic that controls killing and destruction, and the other is the mysterious and unpredictable shadow magic. Which one would you like to learn?” Teacher Leon asked leisurely.

Upon hearing this, Hansen's eyes shone with excitement, like the brightest star in the night sky. "Teacher, I want to learn the thunder magic that can control killing."

“Very well, then come with me.” Leon said, leading Hansen out of the office. After all, the study of magic is not suitable for indoors; if damage is accidentally caused, the consequences would be unimaginable.

They arrived at an open space, where Leon began to teach the secrets of thunder magic.

"Lightning magic is an elemental magic that governs killing and destruction, and its power far surpasses that of other elemental magic. Once it hits a target, it can at least severely injure them and knock them to the ground, or at worst, cause them to fall into a coma or even endanger their lives," Leon explained. Although the power of lightning magic was indeed not to be underestimated, his words were slightly exaggerated, after all, no one would be foolish enough to stand still and let lightning strike them.

Hansen listened intently, his eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge and a yearning for power.

"The color of lightning varies depending on its intensity. From low to high, the colors of lightning are red, yellow, white, blue, and finally purple, which is the most intense form."

The reason for this color change is that during the release of lightning, the temperature distribution within its channel is uneven, thus producing different colors of light,” Professor Leon explained in detail.

“With me, you will have the opportunity to learn a variety of high-intensity lightning elemental magic. For example, the Lightning Bolt, which is a skill that allows the caster to fire one or more powerful bolts of lightning from their hands, capable of accurately hitting the target.” Leon’s words revealed a profound understanding of lightning elemental magic.

The electric shock spell is typically used to paralyze or stun enemies. The caster releases a wave of electricity, causing a brief electric shock effect on the target. It's worth noting that the lightning eel spell Leon previously used was an improvement upon the electric shock spell.

Lightning Strike: The caster can summon lightning from the sky to strike a specific target or area. Electric Field Shield: This magic creates a shield made of lightning energy to protect the caster or an ally from harm.

Storm Summoning: The caster can summon a lightning storm, causing widespread destruction and chaos.

Lightning Enchantment: Enchants a weapon or item with lightning energy, giving it an additional electric shock effect when attacked.

Divine Punishment is a sacred lightning magic, often considered a punishment from gods or deities, inflicting immense harm on evil creatures.

“The following lightning elemental spells are some higher-level spells, which require the caster to be proficient in the lightning element. Given your current situation, you can start by learning the three basic skills: Lightning Bolt, Electric Shock, and Lightning Strike,” Leon continued.

"If you wish to master more advanced lightning elemental magic, I suggest you try casting it without relying on a magic circle. Although this method is arduous and requires a long period of practice and mastery, it will allow you to understand the mysteries of the lightning element more deeply."

However, considering your immediate need to quickly increase your strength, it's best to use a magic circle to cast lightning elemental magic first. Once you're proficient at casting lightning elemental magic without a magic circle, you can try to improve and optimize it.

Leon's words were full of expectations and encouragement for Hansen. He knew that learning magic was a long and challenging path and hoped that Hansen could persevere and not give up easily.

“I understand, teacher. I will never give up,” Hansen replied firmly, his eyes shining with determination and courage.

Hearing Hansen's answer, Leon felt gratified and nodded slightly in agreement.

"Alright, let's officially begin our studies..."
