Chapter 09: Page 9
Finney pulled Mordo toward the training ground. Along the way, many mages saw this scene and immediately gathered around with interest.
Kama Taj is so big, and in the blink of an eye, almost everyone knows that Feini and Modu fight every day. In the practice of a mage, this kind of thing is actually not uncommon.
But Mordo and Finny are disciples of Ancient One after all. Not to mention Finny for now, Mordo's level is among the best in the entire Kamar-Taj.
Being a mage is not a safe profession. Since the duty is to protect the safety of this world, how can it be called protection if there is no threat? Learning magic is for fighting.
Therefore, every time the two of them fight, many mages will always come to watch.
"Master Finny, come on, let's defeat Master Mordo today."
"Master Mordo, don't be so careless and lose like last time!"
In the training ground, both of them have their own fans. Although Finny has only been here for more than a month, he has won the favor of many mages with his "Sumire Fried Chicken Roll" and his age advantage.
Ignoring the interference from outside the arena, Finny, who was standing in the arena, threw a provocative look at Mordo, stretched out his hand and summoned a long sword, shouting:
"Haunted by evil spirits!"
The bright silver-white armor wrapped around his whole body in the blink of an eye. He had no weapons in his hands. Even so, just looking at his appearance, he was far superior to the shabby Modu in front of him.
At this time, the other mages around were no longer surprised by Finny's "haunting", although most of them were as shocked as Mordo when they saw it for the first time.
Similarly, after knowing the "source", there were many sour words in secret such as "Master Ancient One is so biased" and "I want the armor too", for which Ancient One often scolded him helplessly.
Seeing that Finny was fully equipped, Mordo did not dare to be careless. He quickly activated Walter's sprinting boots on his feet, and first used both hands to cast the Ring of Raggador, which was a magic shield, and was on guard vigilantly.
Most of the mages in Kamar-Taj are melee mages. Although they do have long-range magic, the power of long-range spells is very great and it is difficult for ordinary mages to control them. Secondly, the spells are too difficult and many people cannot learn them.
Finny actually didn't know whether Mordo could cast long-range spells, but it was just an ordinary sparring, and it was certain that neither side would kill each other. Besides, there was Ancient One, so even if he failed accidentally, the Time Stone could still be used to save him.
Because he didn't have too many concerns, Finny fought with extreme decisiveness. Plus, he had the advantage of armor defense, so he rushed forward directly.
Mordo didn't panic. He saw the moment when Feeney rushed over and immediately activated the magical effect of Walter's walking boots. He jumped up, accelerated, stepped into the air, and jumped behind Feeney to prepare for the attack.
However, the moment Mordo jumped, Finny reacted, slowed down, and quickly turned over to block Mordo's attack with his arms.
"Fini, you are a mage, don't always rely on armor."
Mordu did not pursue, but said loudly as he retreated, not out of jealousy or displeasure, but because he wanted to remind Feini and did not want him to always rely on armor and neglect his spell learning.
Finny accepted this humbly, and with the help of 'Evil Ghost', he was strengthened in all aspects, and even the spells that could only produce sparks could be more or less smoothly transformed into small sparks.
Although it flickers.
After condensing a dim ring of Raggador on his right hand, Fini rushed towards Mordo again.
The two of them fought back and forth, and the surrounding mages exclaimed from time to time. After about half an hour, Finny was defeated due to exhaustion.
After getting rid of the "evil spirit haunting", Finny lay on the ground in an ungraceful manner. Although Mordo beside him was also panting, he looked much better than Finny.
"Can't you just let me win a few more times, Brother Modu?"
Although he said so, Finny knew very well in his heart that Mordo was definitely letting his opponent win, otherwise the battle wouldn't have continued until now. During this period, Mordo kept pointing out his shortcomings in the battle.
That's why, even when everyone in Kamar-Taj called each other "Master", he still called him "Brother Mordo" in a more intimate way.
"A real enemy won't let you off the hook!"
Mordo first gave him a serious instruction before asking with concern: "Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
"Wake up, Brother Modu. Although I lost to you in the end, it will still be difficult for you to break my defense."
Hearing this, Modu couldn't help but feel nervous again, and couldn't stop thinking in his heart: I was obviously the one who came first, why do you have to be the only one favored by the master!
You can't always grab the wool of one person, and in the following days, Finny fought with other mages one after another, but in comparison, he gained the most experience from Mordo. For this reason, Finny secretly gave Mordo a nickname.
Experience baby Mordo Mage!
Just like that, another month passed unknowingly, and a phone call disrupted Finny's rhythm of gaining experience.
Well, there is a reward today. This is the first reward. Thank you very much to Star Shattering Emperor for the reward. Others, come and learn from him! ()
Chapter 18 Kama Taj’s mage owner
Two months had passed since arriving in Kamar-Taj, and Skye called to inform Finney that school was about to start.
Before coming to Kamar-Taj, he applied to Columbia University in New York. With his outstanding grades, he was admitted as expected. Now it is time to report to the school.
Not only that, he had been away from home for two whole months, and his parents were worried to death. If they hadn't been in contact every few days and had Skye's help, he would have gone back long ago.
The pace of life at Karma Taj makes Feeney reluctant to leave. The most important thing is that he is reluctant to experience the babies. The experience gained in one month here is more than what he accumulated in the previous year.
Feeney began to consider the idea of taking a year off from school to study magic here.
But what he didn't expect was that when he told Gu Yi this idea, he was rejected without hesitation.
"Finny, don't forget what I said. Don't let power control you. You should have your own life. Go back. Kamar-Taj welcomes you back anytime."
Feeney lowered his head and pondered, and suddenly realized that Gu Yi was right. He has been obsessed with increasing experience during this period. If one day he discovers a more effective way to increase experience, will he do whatever it takes to achieve it? ?
Finny let out a light breath. The dangerous pressure made him eager to improve his strength, but he could not ignore the people around him.
After figuring it out, Finny suddenly felt his whole body instantly relaxed. If expressed using data standards, it was roughly mental power +1. Of course, it was still not enough to open a portal.
So, how abnormal is Doctor Strange’s magical talent?
"Thank you, master!"
After thanking Gu Dao, Feeney decided to go back to school, but this didn't mean he gave up gaining experience. Anyway, there was a New York Temple in transit, so it wasn't that difficult to come to Karma Taj.
Besides, there was a time difference. When he came to Kamar-Taj at night, it was morning here.
Most of the mages of Kamar-Taj were reluctant to see Finny leave, because they couldn't bear to part with the delicious Jinji fried chicken rolls, including Mordo, who had been with them the longest during this period.
"By the way, where did you learn this spell?"
Seeing Finny skillfully summoning a 'Jinji Fried Chicken Roll' and handing it to him, Mordo took it with mixed feelings. This little brother who was not very old and had no talent, but was favored by the master, always exuded a sense of mystery.
"This is innate magic, you know? It's the kind of skill that comes with birth. It's unique and cannot be learned by others. I'm not bragging. Even Teacher Gu Yi, she can't learn this."
In fact, more than one person had asked about the 'Sumire Kei Fried Chicken Roll'. If it was a recipe for preparing your own ingredients, he would be happy to teach, but if it was about how to use the skills like he did, there was no way to teach that.
This is not like 'Devil Haunts' which has a carrier. 'Sumire Kei Fried Chicken Roll' is just so purely unreasonable. Although it was once considered useless, it is now the key for him to deal with interpersonal relationships.
In the past two months, I wonder who in Kamal Taj has not tasted Fini's exclusive 'Sumireki Fried Chicken Roll'. Even many people who guard the temple have to come back every day to ask for a few to be taken away. I feel uncomfortable if I don't eat for a day.
He is almost the owner of the Kamar-Taj wizard.
"I'm leaving now, Brother. I may be back soon, but if you need anything, you can come to New York to find me."
In the yard, Finny said goodbye to Mordo. Since he didn't know how to open a portal by himself, he just asked others to help him open one, or go through the transit portal in the library.
"Goodbye, don't waste your practice."
Although they had only been together for two months, Modu felt a little reluctant to leave when he saw Feeney preparing to leave.
Perhaps it was because his arrival brought a different atmosphere to the peaceful and harmonious holy land!
Looking at Finny's smiling and waving back as he disappeared, Mordo thought silently in his heart.
...
Although nominally on a trip, Finny actually came back with nothing.
Karma Taj may be going back in a few days, so there is nothing to bring. Skye has already brought back a batch of things from the surrounding towns as gifts, and he doesn't want to buy so many useless things.
Therefore, when his parents saw Finney coming home alone, they were a little surprised. If he had not disappeared for two months, and his skin and body had obvious signs of being tanned and strengthened, they would have thought that he might have just gone out for a walk.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
Although she felt a little uncomfortable with Finney's attire, his mother came over immediately and complained, "Nothing happened to you outside during this time, did you? Why didn't you come back with your sister? You've gotten tanned."
Finney laughed cheerfully a few times and didn't argue with his parents. After that, the family had dinner happily. Just as he was about to go to rest, Skye pulled him into her room.
"How is it? Have you learned it after I left?" Skye couldn't wait to ask curiously as he entered the room. Although he could see other wizards casting spells in Kamar-Taj, they had all practiced for several years and were far less interesting than Finny, who was learning and growing up together.
Finny didn't speak, but condensed his flickering Raggador ring on his right hand.
"You succeeded!?"
Skye's mood was a little complicated. On the one hand, she was naturally happy, but on the other hand, she was also a little disappointed that she couldn't learn from it.
Noticing the expression on Skye's face, Finney dispersed the spell, tapped her little head with his finger, and comforted her: "Okay, you're still a long way from learning it. I don't have enough talent. I guess I can only master two spells in my lifetime."
"You're still not talented enough?" Skye became even more depressed. Does that mean she has no talent at all?
"Not even close!"
Finny thought of Doctor Strange again. His talent was amazing. If he hadn't made a breakthrough in his mental power before, he would not have been able to condense the Ring of Raggador until now.
For a moment, both people in the room were in a bad mood.
But Finny adjusted himself immediately. He still had the system, so he didn't have to fight the magician in the future. Moreover, he was already stronger than most magicians just by relying on the 'Evil Ghost'.
But seeing Skye's lost look, Finny thought for a moment and reminded him, "Actually, don't be too lost. Master once told me that you may have other powers in your body, but they have not been developed yet."
Of course, Ancient One never said this, but Master used it as an excuse, just like the previous "haunted by evil spirits", after saying that it was sent by Ancient One, few people dared to go to Ancient One to verify it, except for the jealous Mordo.
"Really?"
Skye looked up in surprise, then grabbed Finney's arm and asked, "What kind of power is it, and how can I develop it?"
"It's not the right time yet." Feeney shook his head and didn't say much, but after thinking for a moment, he added: "Maybe it has something to do with the vibration?"
"Um!?"
This was not the first time that Finny had mentioned the vibration ability. He had mentioned it several times before, but Skye had never taken it too seriously. Now he finally understood.
"Why is it a vibration?!"
Skye asked, puzzled.
"How do I know?" Feeney rolled his eyes and complained secretly in his mind, he should ask about your alien genes.
"Anyway, you can study this knowledge when you have nothing to do. It may be useful in the future." After giving some final instructions, Finny returned to his room to rest.
Please collect and recommend. ˙˙()˙˙
Chapter 19 He is just a playboy!
Columbia University.
Finney's admission did not cause any waves. He was just as ordinary as everyone else, although Ancient One once told him that he could have a great impact on the world.
Since he did not plan to live on campus, he was not assigned a dormitory at the beginning. However, because the school was not close to his home, he planned to rent a house.
"You really don't want me to drive you?"
In the new house, Skye looked around the facilities in the house and asked Finny.
"No, I may have to go to the temple often, so it would be more convenient to live outside." Finny shook his head and rejected Skye's suggestion.
Skye didn't insist, nodded and said unexpectedly: "Okay, then I'll move in too."
Because he was not short of money, the apartment that Finny rented was not small, and there was indeed an empty room, but he did not expect Skye to say that, and he could not help but asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
"You're living comfortably here." Skye looked at Finny with a strange look and replied, "There are always people at the store asking when you'll be back. It's too noisy, and it's a bit awkward to be at home all the time. It just so happens that you have to go to school every day, so I can surf the Internet here without being disturbed."
After hearing Skye's answer, Finney was depressed. He scratched his head and carefully suggested, "Well, you are already an adult, and you are not young anymore. Why don't you consider independence?"
As soon as these words came out, Skye's face turned red with shame, and he immediately said angrily: "I...Isn't it okay for me to pay the rent? Just think of it as us renting together."
Then, as if she had thought of another reason, she added confidently, "If my parents weren't worried that you couldn't take care of yourself, I wouldn't come here. Do you think I want to live with you?"
"Humph!"
After the girl snorted in satisfaction, Skye went straight upstairs to clean up the room, leaving Finny standing there with a messy look on his face.
Finney had nothing much to say about the sister who was spoiled by her. It would be better for them to live together. New York was so chaotic and as a beautiful girl, she sometimes felt unsafe.
University life was easier than Finny had imagined. His major was a relatively unpopular subject, so there were not many classes and he had a lot of free time every day.
In school, he is currently mainly studying ancient Sanskrit. In fact, he has not read most of Kamar-Taj's books because the current translation software is not mature enough.
He also tried to ask Skye to help research and produce one, but due to the lack of knowledge and data, the translation effect was still very poor.
Therefore, in the past, when reading and studying, I had to ask people to help translate, and I couldn't keep delaying others, so the efficiency was very low.
It's another bright afternoon.
Finny, who had no classes, was in the living room, studying hard with a textbook he borrowed from school. Next to him was Skye, who was flipping through a fashion magazine with a bored look on her face.
But she soon threw away the magazine in her hand, lay down on the soft sofa, kicked Finny with her little feet and complained: "It's Tony Stark again. This guy is everywhere."
