Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 469 - 250: Magic Guide

Swordsmanship is indeed tiring; any physical profession, with the identity of a Warrior, is exhausting to hone.

Although Warriors trained to the extreme have the "physical spearhead" role in a team battle, they can pierce through battle formations, break through Casters’ temporary shields, and shatter powerful Demons’ scale armor defenses.

Some strong enemies also have defenses specifically designed to counter magic, requiring physical spearheads to handle them.

But on the other hand, despite these performances, overall consideration shows that the magic side also has similar circumstances.

In most cases, using magic to cleanse the battlefield can solve all combat issues.

The so-called counter-magic occurs precisely because magic is effective, leading enemies to deliberately set or evolve mechanisms to counter magic, whereas "physical counter"? One could say all defenses primarily block physical attacks first.

So, although many advantages of the physical spearhead were discussed, it remains a situation of mutual advantages and disadvantages.

A difficult-to-accept fact is that, given proper education and ample materials, Casters often outperform close combat professions, even without needing positions and team cooperation in most scenarios.

Sometimes, the image of an "incompetent Caster" lies in those who are not skilled in their studies or practice without inheritance and training haphazardly.

As for Meimei, whether in terms of talent, Huanwo Village inheritance, or being chosen by the Six Water Dragons, her path to learning anything is nearly straightforward.

If one were to argue what she should learn, in swordsmanship, the only claim could be that it trains her character, preventing her from becoming arrogant and complacent, and even this is merely a hypothesis.

Otto now possesses this power, being a member of the Knight Resolution Council, having fought in various battles during his two hundred years of life; he naturally understands this point.

"No matter," Otto said, "I never intended to start searching for a disciple anyway, as my own Sword Dao still has many imperfections. If Meimei practices magic, her progress will be faster."

Is it truly no matter? Li Ang and Farina exchanged glances, both adults sensing a trace of the old man’s disappointment, though the young girl was oblivious.

"You see, after I began cultivation, Dad showed me some magic; I tried learning, and it felt as simple as talking to them normally."

Meimei lifted her little hands, a stream of water formed from the thick humidity of Mengze Island, moving under her magic power guidance, surrounding her palms like dancing dragons and serpents.

Li Ang and Farina’s expressions grew solemn, both noticing the significance.

For Meimei, casting spells is as natural as breathing and drinking water, just as she said, needing only to "talk to them."

The last time this feeling arose was when Zoe resonated with the Earth Serpent. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

As mentioned earlier, she has a unique talent in spirit perception; this casting differs from conventional Casters who first pull magic power then try it out, as she simply lets the Water Spirit act according to her wishes, they themselves channel magic power changes.

And Farina sighed, "This is indeed the Bailong Sect method."

"How so?" Li Ang asked her.

"Bailong Worshipers also cast spells this way, only they obtain pre-formed spells through the Dragon Spirit, the Dragon Spirit being their object of worship and sacrifice, with costs paid in advance."

Farina leaning on her hand, gazing at the girl playing with the dragon-like water stream, "Those who worship Sea Dragons, due to the early fall of the Dragon Ancestor, can only worship non-existent objects, but since that power remains surrounding, existing in the Fog Rain River Marsh of this island, their calls receive responses. This is likely why they settled here."

"In the end, this is where their heart lies next to the Dragon Ancestor," Li Ang said.

"Indeed, hence they’re still praying for power from Leviathan, only that the Dragon Ancestor’s form has changed."

Farina glanced at the Moon Concealing Rabbit, "This unique situation gradually helped them excel in communication with genuine Water Elements, over time, this power flowing and inheriting in their veins, finally reaching its peak in Meimei."

"She is a high-tier Water Attribute caster prospect and equally a promising Dragon Summoner."

Li Ang said, "Are you planning to guide her into becoming a Dragon Summoner?"

"Define guide? Her lineage should inherently follow this direction," Farina said, "Moreover, I’m confident she would progress faster than ordinary people who specialize in a single profession by practicing both."

"That hurts."

After demonstrating, Meimei tilted her head towards Li Ang, indicating for him to comment on her performance.

You can see she’s aware of her talent, her youth only reflecting in not understanding how reasonably utilizing her talent could impact the world.

"Absolutely impressive," Li Ang praised, "Now the choice is which caster profession."

Meimei’s eyes gleamed with curiosity, "What are the options?"

Farina replied, "Common caster professions include Mage, Priest, Wizard, Elemental Master, Mage, etc. With your proficiency in controlling Water Elements, these professions have respective branches, such as Ice Mage, Omen Priest, Forest Sage, Water Spirit Elemental Master, Healing Mage, etc."

In the Priest category, Li Ang saw the Sage of the Tides in the system, which seemed no longer visible in Nebis, a sense of lost inheritance.

Meimei evidently showed disinterest in any sages or mages, she pondered briefly, then asked, "What are Ice Mage and Elemental Master like?"

"Ice Mage binds water elements with magic power, transforming them into forms of ice to freeze and shatter enemies."
