Chapter 146 Past Rights and Wrongs·Sky Scholar Chasing Freedom

"Why, why do you have such an idea?"

After a period of wordless silence, Qiaoceline still couldn't do anything to ignore the patient, so she asked half in confusion and half in agreement.

"Because..." The young man looked at the girl in front of him who was trying to treat his injuries and enthusiastically talking to him. He hesitated for a moment and then asked more questions uneasily, "Sorry, before that, I can ask you. What do you think? Are you willing to listen to my reasons and persistence that may be ridiculous?"

"of course can."

Qiaoceline responded without thinking.

"Ah? Really? Don't you think the ideas I had before were ridiculous?"

Caught off guard by this unexpected response, the young man couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked again and again in disbelief.

"No, that's not the case. Although this is the first time I have heard of such a concept, the idea of ​​'not wanting magic to be a tool to harm others' sounds surprisingly good. I think I am still very fond of it. I agree with your point of view."

Seeing the reaction of the boy in front of her that was far beyond her expectation, Qiaoceline finally couldn't bear to do anything to hurt him. She was half curious and half imitated the conversation skills at social dances, politely but sincerely smiling and saying respond.

"You said you agree with my point of view. Is this... is this true? I... did I hear it correctly...?"

The young man was more and more shocked, and what should have been a continuous exclamation of surprise turned into a stumbling and repeated confirmation due to his emotion.

"Yes..." Jocelyn paused, trying hard to maintain a just right smile on her face as she continued the conversation, "I am very curious about your thoughts, and I am also willing to listen to you explain your views and the reasons that led you to these views. reason."

"Thank you, miss, thank you so much!"

The young man thanked him seriously, and then talked about some of his experiences without delaying for a moment...

"My father was once a member of an academic exchange organization in the Southern District of Earth. Due to an accidental invitation, he came to teach at the Bethal Magic Academy in the Northern District of Water. There, he met my mother and also met He has made many colleagues and friends who share his passion for knowledge and exploration. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Due to an accident in an off-campus practical class, his father, as the leader of the group, had no choice but to accept the pressure from the parents of the students who died and the school leaders. He was fired from the school. As a result, he was frustrated and quickly lost the motivation to live. Not only did he change his past humility and gentleness, but he also took the initiative to study the taboo necromancy until one day he died in his own car. Try forbidden magic.

My mother has also changed since that day. In the past, she always tried to persuade me to understand my father. She who believed in life began to become taciturn and sensitive and suspicious. Whenever something goes wrong or a stranger approaches, she will always find ways to use the little magic my father created to hurt herself.

At first, I thought these were all my mother's performances to deal with those hateful parents, so I naively believed in what my mother kept saying, 'It will get better, it will get better', until the winter two years ago. , my mother could no longer bear the pressure of life and the entanglement of the past, so she used magic to end her own life.

So, from that day on, I began to hate magic and everything in this world..."

Having said this, the young man looked at the girl in front of him uneasily. Seeing that the girl in front of him listened seriously and had no intention of interrupting, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued:
  "I thought I would go to extremes like my father or mother, but I found that I suddenly started to be afraid of magic and magic elements, and even extreme ideas could not be put into practice.

Later, my situation was known by a mysterious traveler who claimed to be my father's friend. He told me that magic is not terrible in fact, but I misunderstood it and only saw its dark side, so I let the water that should be docile... The elements all showed obvious traces of magic runaway. I asked him how to solve it, how to face the magic element again. He told me that if I face my heart, figure out what I am afraid of, and figure out what causes me to be like this, my symptoms of being unable to use magic will slowly get better.

At that time, I was staying at a relative's house. In order not to become the laughing stock of the neighbors and not to embarrass this relative, I held this last straw and spent a long time trying to find the mysterious traveler. said method. In the end, although with the help of potions, I barely regained the feeling of using magic.

So, the second week after I was able to use magic again, I followed the address given by the mysterious man and found him, and solemnly thanked him in person. With this most basic trust, I began to ask him about some of my father's past events, and the mysterious man patiently gave his answers.

It was also during this conversation that I learned that my father was from the Southern District of Earth and was a well-known advocate of the "harmless theory of magic" in the academic circles of the Southern District at that time. I asked him what "the theory of harmless magic" was, and he suggested that I look for some information that my father left behind during his lifetime.

Next, I returned to the once-abandoned old house, and relatively successfully guessed the special magic runes designed by my father, and obtained some information that my father left behind during his lifetime. After a period of interpretation and reading of information, I began to gradually understand the ‘harmless theory of magic’ advocated by my father.

In the process of understanding, I learned that my father was once a member of an academic organization called ‘Sky Scholars’. It was through this organization that my father first came into contact with some concepts of "magic is harmless", and this concept also indirectly influenced me. I firmly believe that magic is harmless in nature. All attack magic is caused by the user's insufficient emotional stability. In the beginning, there was no so-called attack magic in this world. And now, the reason why attack magic occurs and why magic harms others is not only the deliberate guidance of some people with ulterior motives, but also because our level is not enough, we don’t understand magic enough, and we don’t know enough about the reasons for the original magic... …”

At this point, the young man stopped suddenly because he found that the girl who had been listening very attentively just now frowned tightly at this moment.

Therefore, after noticing the abnormality of the girl, the young man later realized that his words were inappropriate, and he hurriedly apologized solemnly: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. If those words just reminded you of something bad, , and I hope you don’t take it too seriously.”
