"——Maybe because of staying in school, I think you have always underestimated yourself."
The gentleman's slow voice echoed among the crisscrossing bookshelf of Sanyou Bookstore, as if a teapot was slurping on a small red mud stove, emitting a refreshing breath.
Zheng Qing felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes watching the conversation behind each bookshelves, but when he looked over quietly, the back of the bookshelf was empty and there was no sign of a person.
"Ash's Law tells us that acknowledging the existence of a problem is always the first step to solving the problem." The gentleman pressed one hand on Zheng Qing's shoulder, indicating that he should not look around and listen carefully: "---Only if you admit your legendary nature can you get the blessing of legend..."
"I don't think..." the young wizard muttered in a very small voice.
"But for many people in the First University, you are a legend." The gentleman smiled softly, and saw no action. Pictures flashed through the window facing the street, and Zheng Qing was seen in each scene.
There are scenes of him fighting with Arthur Ness, scenes of him having a meeting with the hunters of Yusin, scenes of him seriously injured Sepulano with a shot, Christmas Eve parade, and scenes of him dancing under the moon with three witches.
"A freshman who forced the old students to give in before he entered school is a legend among the freshmen; a hunting team that was successfully registered in less than two years was a legend among the hunting team; a shot seriously injured another old student with a legend is equivalent to seizing his legend; a two-year-old student graduated early after entering school, which is a legend for Jiuyou students; in Shanglin Yuan, he grabbed the tail of the Tushan girl and beat him randomly, becoming a legend among the children of many aristocratic families; and you participated in the Black Prison Incident that shocked the entire wizard world as a student, and it is a legend for all the first university students..."
Speaking of this, the gentleman paused, coughed lightly, and finally added: "———Of course, the most legendary, or the most shocking and incomprehensible thing is that before you entered the first university, you made the belly of the most beautiful woman in the wizarding world bigger and had children. This matter is a legend both on and off campus…”
"I didn't! Boseidong was an accident!" Zheng Qing denied anxiously with a white face.
“A lot of children are born an accident.”
The gentleman sighed half-jokingly, looked at him with wide eyes, and patted his shoulder comfortably: "Of course, I know, this is not the case. But the reason why legend is a legend is because it inevitably uses exaggerated and bizarre methods during the process of chanting... It is not the fact that it puts a legendary color on this matter, but Miss Su, who is the person involved, did not deny these rumors. This means that even if it is fake, it will become real."
Zheng Qing felt that his face turned into purple.
The gentleman glanced at him and did not continue on this troublesome topic: "——In addition to these ordinary 'legends', what really improves your legend is something else. For example, I have taken you to see Bubble Ug and Nicholas... The wizards who have not fallen into madness after facing them can be considered legendary deeds; for example, you have been to the blank place, in a sense, this is considered to be "resurrected from the dead"; and there are some wizards who know that you have mastered a brand new forbidden spell, just like what we have talked about before, each forbidden spell is equivalent to a legend... As far as I know, in the school, including within the alliance, there are some high-level wizards who are still guessing in private whether you have become a forbidden spell. After all, according to well-known principles, a wizard cannot master a forbidden spell."
"Am I?" Zheng Qing was also very curious about this - it was not that he had any doubts about his origin, but that he was not sure whether he had been quietly transformed into a 'forbidden curse spirit' by his husband.
With Mr.'s ability, this kind of thing is not impossible.
"No, you are just an ordinary wizard."
The gentleman shook his head very simply, but did not talk in depth. Instead, he changed his subject and continued what he had just said: "In addition, there are some high-level wizards who know you are my closed disciple... There are not many wizards who know about these relatively obscure legendary deeds, but one of them is a wizard with high rank and high power in the alliance, and can profoundly influence the long flow of destiny. The "legends" they recognize and the legendary level contributed by far exceeds the cognition of thousands of ordinary wizards. In other words, with the cognition of these high-level wizards as the anchor point, your legendary foundation is very solid.
In contrast, Colma's legendary level is far from enough. From the perspective of a great wizard, she is indeed very young, but her advancement is not universal, and that way is deeply taboo to schools and alliances... More importantly, there is one great wizard who is about the same age as her but has advanced on the orthodox path. Obviously, Miss Su, a member of the Moon Under the Parliament, is more legendary in this matter.
If they were in ordinary generations, they might have a bit of legendary color to become great wizards at this age. But now they are a legendary generation. In the past few years, there have been a steady stream of true legendary wizards, and there is even an existence who has successfully advanced to the ranks of ancient people... Relatively speaking, a great wizard is a bit ordinary.
In fact, what is truly considered the legendary deed of Colma is her actions in the North District. She has earned a glimmer of life for tens of thousands of North District mages and almost created another magic race. This is a move comparable to the ancestor of werewolf and the ancestor of vampire. The "Friendly Academy" she tried her best to establish also added a bit of color to this legend.
A young witch overcomes many difficulties and sends a group of children curled up on the edge to the first university. This ordinary but almost impossible thing is a seed called the "Legendary". It spreads among groups of wizards, develops into a powerful legend, and becomes the spiritual belief of all people on the edge... This seed will eventually grow into a towering tree, helping her climb from the ground to the sky. Unfortunately..."
The gentleman raised his eyelids, glanced at the young wizard beside him who was obsessed with him, and shook his head in a very small way: "——It's a pity, it's not now."
When Zheng Qing heard that his senior sister had not lost the possibility of going further, he felt a little relieved. After realizing it, he remembered the words "Border Academy" and the reason for his long discussion.
His face suddenly pulled down again.
"—I still think I can't do the dean of the Fringe College." He muttered, rubbing his fingertips, as if something dirty was stuck on his hands: "Senior sister is doing it very well. What do you change her down to do?"
