Everyone has different elemental affinities. Some are aligned with a single element, while others have multiple attributes. Generally speaking, having a single attribute affinity is the best talent, but multiple attributes can form a complex tactical system.

However, mages are not limited to learning spells of their affinities. The power difference with multi-element affinities is minimal, and there is no upper limit to single specialization.

Individuals have different focuses, so the spell courses at school do not directly teach spells. Instead, they mainly consist of spell explanations and one-on-one guidance.

To learn a spell, one needs to set a learning goal, then go to the library or find a mentor to study with.

Hilia is currently on her way to the library.

First-year courses do not include explanations for Tier Two Magic. If you directly ask the mentor for Tier Two Magic in spell class, not only will the mentor not provide it, but attention will be drawn your way, and in less than two classes, everyone in the first year will know you have advanced.

"Although I don’t mind others knowing I’ve advanced, it’s better to keep a low profile."

Hilia’s lips curled up, harder to suppress than the jet outlet of a flying device.

"You might as well engrave ’Tier Two’ on your forehead," Rose laughed.

"Hehe, voluntarily exposing and being discovered by others are different."

As Hilia spoke, she arrived at the library and politely greeted the doorkeeper, "Hello, Senior Sister. May I know where the Puppet Storage Skill is?"

The doorkeeper looked up and saw a pretty girl smiling in front of her. She was momentarily stunned and took a few extra glances before saying, "The Puppet Storage Skill is on the second floor, turn right, first row of common spells, third book. I am also a second-year student, not your senior sister, by the way."

"Thank you, Senior Sister, I am a first-year student."

Saying this, Hilia hopped off toward the second floor, leaving the senior with a puzzled look.

The memory of the doorkeeper senior sister was strikingly good, and Hilia accurately found the Puppet Storage Skill—it might also be because everyone frequently asks, so it’s remembered.

"The Puppet Storage Skill is a Tier Two Spatial Magic, but unlike other spatial magic, it can only store magic puppets... Speaking of which, does Mr. Rose know the Puppet Storage Skill?"

"No," Rose straightforwardly replied, "In my time, magic puppets weren’t significant. This spell obviously conflicts with pet spaces, so no one wanted to research it."

As Hilia flipped through the pages, Rose also followed along.

Since it’s a spell from a new era, it should be studied to see what it’s about.

After Hilia turned just two pages, reciting the magic loops and skills, Rose had already gone through the Puppet Storage Skill.

"It can only store one magic puppet. Back in the day, if you didn’t have three magic pets, you were embarrassed to go out."

"Mages can’t control two magic puppets simultaneously. A natural magic puppet heart can only link to one. Once, a mage tried to obtain two puppets with natural magic puppet hearts, and two puppet hearts directly split his mind."

"Simply having a split mind is fortunate for him. If the connection were a bit deeper, he would have been torn into two individuals."

Hilia looked up, "There are such consequences? I haven’t heard of it. How does Lord Rose know?"

"The magic puppet heart has existed since ancient times, but we didn’t use it in my era," Rose said. "Back then, the magic puppet heart was directly used on mages. Some idiot tried having two... puppet hearts in his body at once. Guess what happened to him?"

"He was torn apart and died?"

"He didn’t die. He was very powerful, and the two puppet hearts tore him into two. Coincidentally, both puppet hearts had strong healing effects, healing his split bodies separately."

"What?" Hilia was stunned, "But the heart and other vital organs only exist once, so how were they repaired..."

"A new set was made directly. After that idiot got split into two, with broken minds, each tried to reclaim the other’s body. They fought from the south end of the continent to the north, creating a massive gorge that split the continent. Eventually, people couldn’t stand it and suppressed them both, burying one in the south and the other in the north."

Hilia widened her eyes, "Isn’t that the Northern and Southern Great Rift? History books say that two Holy-tier Mages of godlike stature fought to create it, and then gods themselves intervened to suppress them."

"So this era has records, though there are quite a few mistakes. Firstly, it was one person. Secondly, those who suppressed him weren’t gods, but other Holy-tier Mages who were on the brink of becoming gods."

Hilia thought of something and curiously asked, "Did Mr. Rose participate?"

"I led the suppression."

"So it was a case of gods not being able to stand by idly?"

Rose: "..."

Alright, fair point.

It was a randomly triggered event. Somehow, a foolish Holy-tier NPC prepared to become a god tried to fuse two divine formats, splitting into two individuals with near-divine combat power, carving a massive rift in the continent. So Rose, after suppression, buried the split individuals one at Antarctica and one at the Arctic.

At that time, the game was into the late stage, preparing to challenge the Twelve Main Gods. Rose didn’t bother with the rift and let his subordinates handle repairing the damaged roads and buildings while he continued to focus on leveling up.

After learning a historical truth, Hilia returned to her study of Puppet Storage Skill.

But her study was quickly interrupted by Rose.

"In this era, using such outdated learning methods? Don’t you have memory crystals for storing spells? Are they only usable for magic puppets but not mages?"

Hilia nodded, "Yes, memory crystals were previously available for mages, but their side effects were too severe.

"It’s like directly infusing the memory from beginner to advanced stages into the brain. Tier One Magic is fine, but for Tier Two and above, the memory content is too much, resulting in side effects for many mages, who then think they are people from the memory crystals, unable to distinguish reality from dreams.

"Eventually, people realized it’s better used for puppets than mages, saving research time and costs to reduce side effects, and it could store magic up to Tier Six.

"Plus, spells usable by magic puppets can also be used by mages, and over time, memory crystals for mages have been phased out."

Hilia turned to the next page, murmuring, "Aside from essential spells, like Puppet Storage Skill, many mages no longer learn spells."

Rose said, "I’ve seen the magic puppets’ memory crystals, and they do not contain a person’s memories. Instead, they directly input knowledge of the spell’s magic operation circuits, magic output levels, and elemental sensing into the puppet’s spell core. That same memory crystal can also transfer knowledge to a mage’s brain."

Hilia pondered it and said, "It seems that was the initial idea, but just transferring knowledge isn’t sufficient for mages to directly enter advanced stages, and it fades over time... Anyway, it’s obsolete technology."

"Do you remember how I taught you the Meditation Skill?"

"I remember you... eh?" Hilia’s eyes lit up, "You seemed to have directly sent it to my mind, even with annotations, so I could grasp it quickly."

"Exactly, so stop looking at the book. I’ll teach you."

Hilia immediately closed the book and returned it, "Praise the great god! I didn’t want to look at it anymore!"
