Another World: The Failed Magician

Charlotte found a shady spot outside Mo Yun's training room and took out the book Lu Xuan had given her. Unlike Mo Yun's book, this one didn't have a title. Charlotte read through the content she had read before, her mind filled with conflicting emotions.

Meanwhile, in another classroom prepared for martial artists, only Rhodes and Dean White were present.

Looking at the old man in front of him, Rhodes was a little embarrassed and said apologetically, "Well... actually, Dean, you don't need to spend time training me. Back in the Kingdom of Light God, the Grand Knight Commander had already planned a whole training program for me. I can train according to that program myself."

Dean White wasn't angry when he heard Rhodes's words. Instead, he said with a smile, "The Grand Knight Commander you're talking about is Kaz Kovid, isn't he?"

Rhodes nodded and replied, "Yes, does that mean you know the Grand Knight Commander, Dean?"

Dean White nodded and said, "Let him personally design your training plan. So you must be a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts like Kaz Kovid. But why don't I feel any magical energy surging within you?"

Upon hearing the dean's question, Rhodes hesitated for a moment before taking off a pocket watch that was hanging on his body. As the pocket watch was removed, Dean White also sensed the flow of two powers within Rhodes.

Dean White said seriously, "I see. Since you have chosen to cultivate both magic and martial arts, you should know the advantages and disadvantages. I won't say more, but I think you still have room for improvement. In my opinion, Kaz Kovid is only good, but he has not reached the true level that cultivation of both magic and martial arts should be."

Hearing Dean White's words, Rhode was somewhat skeptical. Kaz Kovid was a powerful cultivator skilled in both magic and martial arts, possessing magical power at the level of a Grandmaster and martial prowess at the level of a Martial King. He was one of the strongest in the Kingdom of Light, virtually unmatched except by the Pope, who was a Saint of Magic. Yet, Dean White only described him as "not bad," which displeased Rhode. The Grand Knight Commander had always been his idol, and Rhode didn't quite agree with the Dean's assessment.

Seeing Rhodes's somewhat disbelieving expression, Dean White was not surprised, because in the eyes of the people of the Church of Light, the Grand Knight Commander was indeed a hero.

Dean White patiently said, "Grand Knight Commander, since you are willing to personally design a training plan for you, it seems that you two have a good relationship. Do you remember what happened two years ago when the Loca Federation visited your Light God Church? As a nobleman, I think you should know some inside information, right?"

Hearing the dean's words, Rhodes recalled some things. There was indeed a rumor among the nobles that the envoy of the Loca Federation had defeated the Grand Knight in a head-on confrontation, but at the time, Rhodes simply did not believe that his hero could be defeated. But now, looking back, perhaps the rumor was true, because indeed, since the visit to the Loca Federation, the Grand Knight had often been in seclusion, and the Grand Knight himself had not denied those rumors.

Dean White, observing Rhodes's expression, which shifted from initial skepticism to gradual acceptance, said, "Kaz Kovid's philosophy of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts places too much emphasis on the balance between magic power and battle aura. His method, which uses magic power as a supplement and battle aura as the main force, does indeed make him stronger than the average person in terms of power storage and total amount. However, he forgets that what a martial artist relies on most for survival is actually his own body. In my opinion, people who cultivate using his method are more like magicians wielding greatswords."
