Another World: The Failed Magician

Fortunately, thanks to Lu Xuan's outburst, Li Mengyu finally emerged from her withdrawn state.

She mustered her courage and walked to the front of the martial arts students, and began to talk about sword energy. Although Li Mengyu's explanation was still a bit hesitant, at least she could start teaching.

The students listened very attentively.

They rarely hear about sword energy.

This is what makes the warriors of the Eastern Dragon Empire different from other warriors.

The warriors of the Eastern Dragon Empire highly value the honing of sword energy and sword intent.

Other martial artists place more emphasis on the use of battle qi.

Lu Xuan also learned about what had happened from Luo Yun.

The two women were shopping when suddenly people from Novis Academy approached them—or rather, they approached Li Mengyu, hoping she could mentor their students.

Upon hearing about the opportunity to become a teacher, Li Mengyu immediately became interested and quickly agreed to the person's request.

However, after they arrived at the academy, a vice dean with the cultivation level of a Martial King found Li Mengyu.

It turned out that when he heard that another martial king was coming to the academy, he immediately felt a strong urge to spar with him.

Li Mengyu actually wanted to refuse, but the vice dean was so enthusiastic that she felt embarrassed to say no.

So, witnessed by a large group of students, the two began a sparring match without using any fighting spirit.

Without using her fighting spirit, Li Mengyu ultimately defeated the vice dean by relying on her powerful sword energy.

The martial arts students also acknowledged the young girl at this moment.

However, due to everyone's excessive enthusiasm, Li Mengyu's suppressed social anxiety resurfaced, resulting in the scene that Lu Xuan saw when he first arrived.

After a while, Lu Xuan looked at Li Mengyu again and found that the girl was now speaking quite fluently.

Lu Xuan smiled with satisfaction.

A serious-looking middle-aged man walked over.

"Mr. Lu Xuan, our students have been waiting for a long time. When do you think would be a good time to start the lessons?"

Lu Xuan was startled and quickly stopped smiling.

"I'm so sorry, I just forgot about it. I'm really sorry."

Lu Xuan felt a little guilty because he had really forgotten about teaching.

Lu Xuan instinctively looked at the man in black robes.

I want to ask the other person what they want him to teach.

But the man in black robes had disappeared long ago, though no one knows when.

Because there are many types of monks, it is difficult to standardize teaching if a specific direction is not determined.

Since the man in black robes had disappeared, Lu Xuan had no choice but to ask the serious-looking middle-aged man beside him.

"I wonder what kind of magical knowledge your academy needs me to teach?"

The man frowned.

"Our students have a very good foundation, so we don't need to teach them the basics of magic anymore. As for what specific topics to cover, you can decide for yourself. Our students have a strong ability to understand."

Since the other party has said so, I might as well improvise.

Lu Xuan first walked up to the group of students and carefully observed them.

You can't tell anything from appearances alone, but the magic within a person doesn't lie.

The students looked at Lu Xuan, who was scrutinizing them, with some confusion. Since the vice dean had personally come to see her, there must be a reason for it, so no one interrupted Lu Xuan.

Fortunately, Lu Xuan didn't keep the students waiting for long.

These students are something else.

Lu Xuan withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, looked at the students who were still somewhat naive, and forced a faint smile onto his lips.

"I'm the one who's here to give you lectures. My name is Lu Xuan. You can just call me by my name."

Upon hearing Lu Xuan begin to speak, the students, all dressed in the same robes, turned to look.

Just then, a white figure suddenly darted into the rear of the group from a distance at lightning speed.

Of course, all of this did not escape Lu Xuan's eyes, but considering that the other party might also be a student of this academy and must be late, Lu Xuan simply pretended not to see it.

Lu Xuan continued speaking without changing his expression.

"As we all know, there are many different schools of mages, the largest of which is the elemental mage, who releases corresponding magic by incorporating different types of magic into their bodies."

When Lu Xuan finished speaking, the students' expressions, which had been filled with a hint of anticipation, instantly deflated, because this was the most basic magic knowledge, something they were already tired of hearing.

The middle-aged man in charge also looked rather unpleasant, because he had already discussed these things with Lu Xuan, but the other party was still insisting on saying them. If Lu Xuan hadn't been personally invited by Vice Dean Anna, he would have stopped him long ago.

Lu Xuan continued talking as if he hadn't seen any of this.

"Among them, elemental mages are also divided into two factions. One faction incorporates multiple types of magic into their bodies, thus enabling them to cast spells of many attributes. The other faction only incorporates a single attribute into their bodies. Although they can only cast spells of one attribute, their power is much stronger than the former."

Is it still basic magic knowledge?

The middle-aged man's expression grew even more unpleasant.

"I think everyone here practices elemental magic."

The students' expressions were alright upon hearing this, because they assumed that the academy had already informed Lu Xuan of their information in advance.

But the middle-aged man in charge finally changed his expression from ugly to shocked, because he knew that they had not informed Lu Xuan of any information at all, and even this group of students was temporarily arranged by Vice Dean Anna.

How did he figure out that these students all practiced elemental magic, even though none of them had ever used any magic?

A deep sense of doubt welled up in the man's mind.

The woman standing on the high-rise building also saw this scene.

"interesting."

Lu Xuan continued speaking at his own pace.

"Since no one is refuting me, it means I'm right. So I'd like to ask everyone here a question: which of these two schools do you think is stronger?"

As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, the students, who had been quiet, erupted into a cacophony of noise.

"It's definitely better to learn a variety of spells. Different elements can handle many situations. It would be a huge disadvantage to only know one element of magic, right?"

"Pah! Learning only one thing is both simple and powerful. Learning multiple things is just asking for trouble. It makes you weak and difficult."

"If you can't learn it yourself, don't talk nonsense."

"I don't think you're good at studying. I'm just stating the facts."

A heated argument broke out among the students.

Lu Xuan acted as if he didn't see the argument, quietly watching the students arguing with a slight smile on his face.

The middle-aged man was also somewhat puzzled by this scene.

The question Lu Xuan just asked has been debated for thousands of years, ever since the emergence of the elemental magic school. There has never been a conclusion, or rather, no one has been able to provide one.

Could this person in front of me really give an accurate answer? Impossible.

This was his first thought, but then he remembered that Lu Xuan had just made it clear that the students were practicing elemental magic. Could it be that this person was really special?

The girl in white at the end of the student line looked puzzled.

She had just accepted her teacher's request to cause some trouble for Lu Xuan, and then find an excuse to spar with him.

But the moment the other person opened their mouth, it ignited the silence of the students, leaving her at a loss for what to do.

"What a strange person."

The girl labeled Lu Xuan with this tag in her mind.

Just then, a boy who was arguing with someone suddenly turned around to continue the argument, only to see a cute-looking girl suddenly appear at the end of the line.

The boy rubbed his eyes first, afraid that he had seen wrong. After confirming that he had not seen wrong, he spoke with a slightly trembling voice.

"Senior Bai Lu, what...how did you get here?"

Upon hearing the boy's words, the other student who had been arguing with him also turned around, both of them looking surprised.

The other party is Vice Dean Anna's personal disciple, the senior sister of the entire academy's magic division. Why would she come to listen to this kind of lecture?

Just as the two were about to speak, Bai Lu put her finger to her lips, signaling them not to speak.

"Don't tell anyone, I have something important to do."

Seeing Bai Lu say this, the two of them had no choice but to suppress their excitement, cover their mouths with their hands, and nod.

After letting the students argue for a while, Lu Xuan suddenly reached out and grabbed at the air.

A gentle breeze swept past everyone, and the students, who had been blushing from arguing, instantly felt their emotions calm down after the breeze passed.

As a gentle breeze swept over everyone, the arguing crowd quieted down.

Several observant students in the front row noticed Lu Xuan's actions and their eyes were full of surprise.

After the crowd quieted down completely, Lu Xuan cleared his throat.

Everyone looked at him again.

"It seems you won't reach a conclusion by discussing this. But do you know why you can't reach a conclusion?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Because there is no inherent superiority or inferiority between these two schools, or rather, there is no inherent superiority or inferiority between any school of magic. Any school that can normally absorb magic power and release magic is an excellent school of magic."

Upon hearing this, not only the students learning magic, but even those learning sword energy from Li Mengyu couldn't help but show expressions of surprise.

Since humans discovered that they could absorb magic from the environment and unleash magic, every school of magic has been trying to prove to the outside world that its magic is better.

Therefore, Lu Xuan's statement undoubtedly shattered everyone's common sense.

Lu Xuan ignored the students' whispers.

"Because every kind of magic that can be cultivated by humankind is the crystallization of the wisdom of our predecessors and the most precious treasures bestowed upon humankind by nature, there is no distinction between superior and inferior treasures among these treasures."

Lu Xuan's words were indeed somewhat appealing, but it was clearly impossible to win over all the students with just that.

"How is that possible? If that were really the case, why would I be stuck at the intermediate mage level and unable to move?"

"That's right. If every school of magic were the same, how could I have lost the last competition?"

Similar questions kept coming from the students' mouths.

Bai Lu was also curious about what kind of answer Lu Xuan would give. In her opinion, many students were just complaining without reason and couldn't improve, which must be their own problem; they were simply not as skilled as others.

Lu Xuan waved his hand again.

A gentle breeze caressed everyone's bodies once again.

The crowd, which had fallen into chaos again, returned to calm.

It was only then that everyone realized that the breeze just now was not an accident, but was caused by the young teacher in front of them.

Many students couldn't help but look at him with admiration, and many of them even had a hint of longing and pleading in their eyes.

Can someone like this really help me out of my predicament?

Lu Xuan put away the faint smile he had been wearing and looked at everyone with a serious expression.

"Students who want to switch factions, or who want to switch from multiple elemental magics to one, or from one to multiple, raise your hands."

Upon hearing this, almost all the students present raised their hands.

Just as I suspected. Lu Xuan had sensed from the very beginning that these students were no ordinary people.

Because when Lu Xuan first started observing them, he noticed that the magical energy emanating from these students was somewhat unstable, and some of it had even begun to transform into another kind of magic.

"Raise your hand if you still have an interest in magic, or if you enjoy casting spells."

At this point, many of those who had been holding their hands up lowered them, leaving only a few still holding them up.

"You can go now. You don't need to change your path. As long as the magic school you are currently practicing makes you happy, you can continue. All you need is more time. As long as you persevere, you will be able to break through the bottleneck. What you need now is to sit down and rest. A calm mindset will help you break through the bottleneck."

The students who were still raising their hands looked puzzled and couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man next to them.

The middle-aged man looked at the student who was looking at him and nodded.

Although the group had some doubts, they still slowly walked out of the group.

The middle-aged man himself didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong.

Because most of the students in the academy were unable to improve their skills, the academy tried many methods but to no avail.

Therefore, they all had the idea of ​​changing their original cultivation system.

Lu Xuancai continued speaking after the students left.

"As for you, I have three suggestions. The first is to keep going, but the process will be painful, and I can't even guarantee that you will get better. The second is to forget everything you are learning now and start learning magic from scratch, finding a style that you can find interesting and enjoyable."

Upon hearing this, almost all the students present looked troubled.

Just then, some students seemed to remember something and asked a question.

"And what's the third suggestion?"

Lu Xuan paused for a moment before speaking.

"Abandon the path of magic and try something else. After all, magic isn't everything. Life is a vast wilderness. Don't be disappointed by a dead end. You will always find something to fight for your whole life."
