Chapter 110: Four Major Magic Systems


    Riezel, Yuri, Marilyn, Ain, and Ian had separate rooms in the ship''s cabin.


    Among them, Yuri''s room was located deepest in the cabin and was thergest in size, which was estimated to be enough for five people. After agreeing to teach him magic, she brought him back to this room and sat down in front of a round table in the center.


    Afterward, Yuri, sitting in front of Riezel, prepared something.


    It was a strange-looking object, somewhat resembling argepass and a bit like a clock as well.


    In the center of thepass was set a palm-sized gem, filled with water, and the area around the gem was evenly divided into four parts, each with seven markings.


    "What''s this?" Riezel looked at thepass and doubtfully asked.


    Yuri, however, didn''t answer his question but instead made a contemtive gesture.


    "You started attending Spriller Academy two years ago, right?" Yuri suddenly asked.


    "Yeah..." Riezel, though feeling curious, still honestly answered her question. "It''s been exactly two years this year, and graduation is still three years away."Spriller Academy, as one of the highest educational institutions on the continent, operated on a five-year student system.


    Those with the talent to be excellent magicians could take the entrance examination for Spriller Academy at the age of fifteen, and upon passing, they could enroll.


    After enrollment, students could spend up to five years at the academy, until they reach the age of twenty. If they fail the graduation exam, their enrollment would be revoked, and they couldn''t im to be graduates of Spriller Academy.


    The original Riezel entered the academy at the age of fifteen and was now seventeen, exactly two years since.


    As a girl the same age as Riezel, Yuri graduated early, spending only a year at Spriller Academy. But in that year, shepleted all her studies, so her knowledge was actually higher than that of any other student at the academy.


    Upon learning about his situation at the academy, Yuri nodded in understanding.


    "Since that''s the case, you haven''t started learning professional magic knowledge yet." Yuri said, looking at his face.


    "Professional magic knowledge?" Riezel wasn''t quite clear about what she meant.


    "In other words, you still don''t understand enough about what the field of ''magic'' is."


    After saying that, Yuri began to exin.


    "Spriller Academy is a five-year magic academy. The first two years are basically about teaching the basics, which is some elementary magic. It''s only in the third year that the academy starts spreading professional magic knowledge, allowing you to rify your position and understand your magicpatibility."


    "In this world, there are countless types of magic, countless in number."


    "There''s elemental system magic that can unleash mes, lightning, or freeze everything into ice."


    "There''s also mind system magic that can alter cognition, manipte minds, and toy with all living beings."


    "In addition, there are also explosion system magic, precognition system magic, summoning system magic, strengthening system magic, and so on."


    "But generally, all magic in the world can be ssified into four major systems."


    After saying that, Yuri pointed to thepass in front of her. Around thepass''s gem, in the four equally divided areas, there were lines of small text.


    Those four lines of small text respectively read:


    —Transformation System.


    —Control System.


    —Interference System.


    —Structure System.


    "These are the four major magic systems, and all magic in the world is ssified under them."


    Yuri''s voice echoed softly as she continued her exnation.


    "Transformation system refers to all magic that attaches one or more attributes to magical energy, enabling it to take shape instantly upon release. For example, elemental system magic directly attaches elemental attributes such as ''Fire'', ''Water'', ''Lightning'', or ''Wind'' to magical energy before shaping it into magic. The effects are evident the moment it is released. Magic of this kind, which transforms magical energy into other attributes before release, is known as transformation system magic."


    "Control system refers to all magic capable of controlling or dominating external substances or concepts. For instance, summoning magic can summon beings like monsters or puppets, and control them forbat. Such magic falls under the control system, including maniption of the earth, maniption of nts, and simr magic."


    "Interference system epasses all magic that can affect oneself or others. Mind system magic I mentioned earlier falls into this category, capable of interfering with minds, cognition, emotions, and memories. Strengthening system magic also falls into this category, involving interference with oneself, whether strengthening the body or enhancing the mind. Even recovery system magic and healing system magic belong to the interference system."


    "Structure system includes all magic capable of forming material substances. Alchemy magic falls into this category, whether refining gold or crafting other substances. Any magic used to refine or manufacture something belongs to the structure system. Magic weapons, magic items, potions, and simr magic items are generally crafted by magicians proficient in structure system magic."


    "These four are the major magic systems, forming the basic framework that epasses all magic in the world."


    "Now, here''s the question."


    "When magicians want to learn magic, can they just study whatever kind of magic they want, based on their interests?"


    "The answer is no."


    "Just as everyone''s body differs subtly and everyone has different areas of expertise, typically, there will be people who are more suited to one or more systems. After all, excelling in the magic systems that suit you best will make it easier to seed in it."


    "This is what''s known as ''magicpatibility''."


    "Magicians learning magic in the systems where they are more likely to excel, which is where their magicpatibility is higher, is the wisest course of action."


    Yuri exined what she knew about magic energetically to Riezel while tapping thepass in front of her.


    "This is the magic item used to test one''s magicpatibility."


    ording to her view, everyone hadpatibility in each magic system, it was just a matter of whether it was high or low.


    "Calcting one''s overall magicpatibility to a total of ''100'', this value is distributed among the four major magic systems. Whichever system has the highest value indicates one''s higherpatibility with that system."


    "Magicpatibility ranges from a maximum of ''70'' to a minimum of ''10''. Even in the case of extremely highpatibility, where one has the highestpatibility in one of the four major magic systems, the other three systems will still have at least ''10''patibility. So, one''s highestpatibility in one system is capped at ''70''."


    Yuri pursed her lips before continuing her exnation.


    "For example, tactical-ss magic, regardless of the type, requires a magician to have at least ''50''patibility within the corresponding system to cast the magic, otherwise it cannot be used."


    "The Tactical-ss Magician who previously created the tactical-ss barrier magic at my ce proved his ''50'' magicpatibility in the structure system, as they were able to construct a barrier magic of such scale and magnitude. Without this degree ofpatibility, bing a Tactical-ss Magician is simply impossible."


    "Strategic-ss Magicians have even stricter requirements forpatibility, requiring the highestpatibility of ''70'' within a certain magic system. Without this, even with abundant magical energy, strategic-ss magic cannot be cast."


    "Magical energy andpatibility, both must meet requirements for magicians to have the potential to cast corresponding ss of magic."


    With that, Yuri ced her hand on the gem of thepass.


    <em>*Zing—*</em>


    The gem immediately emitted a bright light, causing water to flow out from within. The water flowed toward the four areas around the gem, gradually filling the spaces inside.


    However, the water flowed most abundantly into the control system area, quickly reaching the seventh mark and filling the area, while the water in the other three areas only reached the first mark, much less than the former.


    "This is my magicpatibility..." Yuri said as she withdrew her hand.


    The water in thepass quickly flowed back, soon refilling the empty gem. At the same time, the glow emanating from the gem soon faded.


    "This is the testing method for magicpatibility. It''s the knowledge that only bes widespread at Spriller Academy in the third year. By then, you''ll be testing your own magicpatibility and starting professional magic studies."


    Yuri stated with a smile.


    "If you want to learn magic from me, you''ll need to test your magicpatibility first. It''s best if it aligns with my magic system though."


    Yuri was a Strategic-ss Magician proficient in control system magic. Hence, if Riezel also had highpatibility with the control system, learning magic from her would be extremely beneficial.


    However, in the case he had the lowest magicpatibility of ''10'' in the control system, he could still learn, albeit with increased difficulty. Naturally, this also meant some advanced magic from the control system might be beyond his grasp.


    "Of course, this is what I considermon sense." Yuri added with a meaningful tone. "If your so-called ''stroke of luck'' can defy thismon sense and allow you to learn my magic, that''s a different story."


    Upon hearing that, Riezel fell silent.
