"I feel like even an emperor-level human enemy wouldn't be able to unleash its full potential. I really hope I never have to use it."

As for Rudy's sense of urgency in designing the more powerful White Ivory, that is another story.

Chapter 23 Guidance

April.

On the day off, Gawain brought Sylphy to visit Boreas's house, a rare occasion.

It sounds strange, but they were actually invited by Rudy. In the past six months, someone has gained a transcendent status like the young master of the Boreas family by relying on his strength that overwhelms Gileno, his intelligence that conquers Miss Alice, the popularity of the name Greylat, and the recognition of Master Sauros, which is more important than the first three combined.

Therefore, even if you invite friends to the host's house as tutors, no one will think it is inappropriate.

It would be normal even if the eldest lady and Gileno were left behind.

So it became a five-person get-together.

Of course, it was called a social gathering, but in reality, Rudy, who had run out of ideas for his teaching plan, was looking for off-field assistance. In order to get Sylphy along, he chose a rest day.

At the tea table in a corner of the square, Rudy bowed his head in gratitude:

"Thank you for taking time out of your precious rest days to help me research the teaching plan!"

It doesn't matter to Gawain.

Sylphy stirred her iced milk tea and smiled:

"It's a sister's duty to help her brother! So where are you planning on taking us out for dinner tonight?"

Rudy immediately gave a wry smile that said, "Please spare me."

Gawain has recently become increasingly helpless against Sylphy, who is becoming more and more evil, so out of sympathy he helps Rudy out:

"So, what's the problem?"

Rudy quickly called over his two disciples, Gilenu and Alice, and instructed them:

"Let's demonstrate the results of your teaching first."

The two who were well trained by Rudy immediately chanted obediently towards the open space and cast all the primary attack magic.

Gawain couldn't understand what level this was, but Lady Sylphiet, the savior that Rudy was thinking about, was quite clear about it. She praised him generously:

"That's quite impressive! Alice and Gilena have achieved this level of mastery in just over half a year!"

Gileno smiled contentedly at Sylphy's praise, while Alice jumped and spun in circles excitedly, her nose almost raised to the sky with pride.

Sylphy also asked Rudy:

"That kind of learning speed is one of the best in City College's special classes, right? Rudy, what exactly are you facing? A spell level cap? Mixed spellcasting instruction? Or non-chanting spellcasting instruction? If it's just magic theory, I think it's okay if I don't teach it."

Unable to understand the mediocre Gao Wen could only drink his tea silently, and even considered whether he should pay for his share of the bill after dinner.

Rudy made an offended expression, as if to say, "Sylphy is the only reliable person at this time," and quickly explained:

"My original plan was this: if I got a perfect score, I'd teach them all the basic and intermediate attack spells, basic healing spells, and detoxification spells, along with the ability to cast no chants. If I passed, I'd teach them all the basic attack, healing, and detoxification spells, and at worst, I'd let Alice learn no chants."

"But now all three aspects are stuck. Intermediate advancement is difficult, and there's no progress in primary healing and detoxification. The most troublesome issue is the lack of chanting."

Gao Wen continued to drink his tea. His comment was that learning something requires comprehension, and if you don’t have the intelligence, you won’t be able to do it.

After spending half a year at the school, Sylphy had given this issue some thought. After pondering for a moment, she analyzed and suggested:

"Judging from the results so far, I don't think your goal of a perfect score is an exaggeration, Rudy. However, you might be a little too impatient. Rudy, you haven't been to school, so like your brother, although you've heard about the students at the Lanoa Magic Academy from your teachers, you don't actually know the learning experiences of the magicians who can't afford to attend."

"Although it may sound harsh, as Dou Qi geniuses whose talents are mostly concentrated in the swordsmanship field, Gilenu and Alice have almost no chance of getting into the Lanoa Magic Academy. Alice might be able to get in with a few years of hard work, but she definitely won't be able to graduate."

"It's already quite remarkable that they were able to learn all the elementary magic in just six months. It's normal for them to get stuck in the later stages. So, Rudy, as a teacher, you shouldn't be too hasty. Slow down the teaching pace and rewrite the syllabus based on a six-year duration!"

"Of course, not seeing the results of study and practice for too long will definitely make people impatient. So, Rudy, you should focus on basic healing, basic detoxification, and no-chanting skills initially. If no-chanting skills become too difficult, you can mix in practical magic training and intermediate magic instruction."

Sylphy explained in a simple and clear manner.

Alice increasingly admired the girl in front of her, who was her younger sister's age:

"Sylphy! I feel like I'm more powerful than Rudeus!"

Gilenu folded his arms, revealing a resolute expression of a strong man:

“I don’t find training boring.”

Alice immediately refused to admit defeat and said:

"I'm not bored either!"

Rudy nodded repeatedly and quickly wrote down in his notebook:

"Thank you for your guidance! Master Sylphy!"

Gao Wen decided to pay for dinner himself.

Unexpectedly, the matter was resolved so quickly, so Rudy invited the two students to sit together for a tea party.

In other words, it's about drinking tea and chatting.

The animal-eared maids also brought delicious snacks at the right time.

Only Gileno hesitated:

"Can I sit down too?"

Rudy couldn't understand where Gileno had learned the concept of master-disciple hierarchy, but he just said indifferently:

"The lecture period is over."

The fourth strongest person from the world's most powerful swordsmanship school, the Sword God School, sat obediently next to Alice, and successfully defeated Alice, becoming the fourth strongest person present.

The fifth strongest person, Alice Boreas Greyrat, sat next to Sylphy. Facing Sylphy, she was as docile as a well-tamed cat. After thinking of something, she almost pleaded in a flattering tone:

"My birthday is coming soon! Sylphy, can you come and play with me then?"

Since the etiquette teacher was not there, and Sylphy, the only one present who knew some aristocratic etiquette, did not intend to correct Alice, she just smiled and nodded.

"I think Alice's birthday is in July, right? I'll bring my brother along to celebrate with you. Please look forward to your important tenth birthday present."

Rudy, who already felt that he was very good at giving birthday presents, had already planned this. He ate seasonal fruits and glanced at Gileno who had a shocked expression. It seemed that orcs did not seem to have any relevant customs. He would help this muscular idiot later.

Alice's eyes sparkled when she heard the word "gift":

"Great!"

Finally, Sylphy couldn't help but reach out and touch Alice's fluffy long hair that looked like a blazing fire. Alice didn't care at all. She just looked at Gilena and Rudeus and asked excitedly:

"Kilenu! Rudeus! Will you give me a gift too?!"

Rudeus replied as a matter of course:

"You'll find out that night."

Gilena's ears stood up and her tail was shaking nervously. She forced herself to maintain a calm expression.

"Ken...definitely."

Even Gawain saw it now.

Note: Gileno and Alice learn faster than in the original work, but this is not important. Just think of it as a teaching method summarized by the four masters and apprentices that goes straight to the essence.

"Elementary Magic Course Even a Rabid Dog Can Understand"

Chapter 24 Dance

Alice didn't notice.

Perhaps she was too excited, and as she was so familiar with Gileno, she didn't realize that Gileno was lying just now.

Rudy thought this was better, so he started to change the subject:

"Then Alice, you need to study dance and etiquette more seriously, okay? You're so looking forward to the birthday party and have even invited your friends. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if you behaved rudely in front of everyone?"

Before receiving the gratitude of Teacher Edna, Rudy first received the grateful look of Gileno.

Alice first showed a bored expression at this suggestion, then glanced at Sylphy and Gawain, and made up her mind:

"I'll study hard! But dancing is really hard to learn! I think it's ten... um... yes, ten times harder than swordsmanship!"

Rudy was at his wit's end now. He didn't know how to dance at all, so he could only turn to Master Sylphy for help again. Ding ding, asking for off-field assistance!

Sylphy was forced to stop feeding her brother:

"Dancing isn't that difficult."

Gawain swallowed the grapes in his mouth and said cautiously:

“Are there dance classes in school?”

Faced with such a topic, Rudy already had the urge to run away, and Gileno also instinctively sensed a dangerous aura. Since there was no murderous intent or existing crisis, Alice, who was sensitive to this, was unaware of it.

If this were private, Sylphy would definitely tease the obviously jealous elder brother, and then comfort him before he gets really upset. But since this was in front of everyone, Sylphy immediately explained:

"Of course I do. They're probably similar to what Iris is learning. They're the most popular ballroom dances among the Asura nobles. But during my classes, I always practice with my teacher, the female teacher."

Gao Wen, whose fur was stroked, stopped breathing immediately.

Ballroom dancing was taught in school, and of course, male and female students were paired up for practice. However, no boy dared to dance with Sylphy. After all, anyone who dared to invite her was blasted away by magic. Although they were not injured, it reminded everyone of the fate of those who tried to flirt with, ridicule, and mock Sylphy. Not only would they have a hand or foot broken, but they would also be laughed at by this girl who was even more terrifying than the Spelud people. "Sorry, if you don't do this, your family will definitely be implicated. This is all for your own good, please understand."

Many people in the school therefore clearly realized one thing: everyone feared and insulted the Sperood people because the Sperood people had died out.

And when such a girl with green hair, strong strength and awe-inspiring personality actually appears, many people will even choose to worship her in exchange for peace of mind.

Yes, this is the [Sylphiet Support Club].

It was built by people who have been helped by Sylphy, people who are impressed by Sylphy's strength, and people who are afraid of Sylphy.

People in the guild generally worship Sylphiet as the god of magic, the god of exams, and the god of anti-bullying. There is a saying that if you worship Sylphiet before an exam, you won't fail.

After comforting her brother, Master Sylphy continued to exert her strength:

"Alice, aren't you very talented in swordsmanship? Dancing, like swordsmanship, is a discipline that uses the body, right? So you should be quite talented in dancing as well."

Upon hearing this, Alice immediately began to think hard.

Rudy also understood what Sylphy meant, and he simply took over the relevant responsibilities:

"I roughly understand. Alice, please ask me to join you for the etiquette class next time. I'll help you with the tutorial. You should be able to learn to dance quickly."

Alice immediately tilted her head towards Rudy, revealing a sweet, knowing smile.

"Rudeus, you're so kind!"

The looks that Gawain and Sylphy gave Rudy instantly became strange. The brother and sister subconsciously looked at each other with a teasing smile, which made Rudy, who was beside Gawain, speechless.

Sylphy first exchanged glances with Rudy, then looked at Gawain with a smile and asked:

"Brother, are you interested in dancing? It seems that according to the customs of the nobles of the Asura Kingdom, there are dances at birthday parties for fifth, tenth, and fifteenth-year-olds. Single men and women of appropriate age can invite any dance partner to dance with them. It's probably the same concept as a blind date party."

Rudy interrupted:

"Uncle Philip and Aunt Hilda seem to have met while dancing. Humph, a rich son-in-law like me will surely have a lot of beautiful girls vying to invite me to dance, right?"

Before he could finish his smug words, Rudy felt a murderous red gaze. He subconsciously wanted to shut up, but for the sake of justice, he forced himself to continue speaking. After all, it would be too obvious if he used Gawain or Sylphy as examples.

Gao Wen said firmly:

"Of course I have to learn."

Sylphy immediately grabbed her brother's hand and smiled:

"Then I'll teach you, brother! Please call me Teacher Sylphy!!"

Gawain obeyed instantly:

"Thank you, Teacher Sylphy."

The remaining three people couldn't help but exchange glances, and sure enough, the same sentence was written in everyone's eyes: "He was eaten to death."

This situation might make people sigh: "Gawain's weakness is indeed his sister!", but considering Sylphy's combat power, it is probably difficult to call it a weakness, so no one would say this out loud.

Speaking of study-related topics, Rudy suddenly remembered something and reported to Gao Wen:

"Speaking of which, Brother Gao Wen, I've been learning the beast language from Gilenu recently."
