Disciples Are Hard to Teach

"Although Fladi has already advanced to level four, he still needs some time to consolidate his realm."

"Furthermore, the Holy Tower basic loan I applied for from the Wizard Alliance is not so easy to get approved. Even at the fastest, I would have to work at the Azure Source Holy Tower for at least another two hundred years, not to mention that we still have a seventy-year employment period."

Dean Archimedes did not hide anything, but spoke frankly and directly.

The dean's words elicited a nod of agreement from Luluman.

Having personally experienced the promotion to level four and applied for a basic loan from the Holy Tower to the Wizard Alliance, she naturally knew that it was not so simple.

After advancing to the fourth level, Level-4 Magician need to undergo a stabilization period ranging from one hundred to four hundred years to consolidate their level.

In addition, applying for Holy Tower basic loan from the Wizard Alliance is not something that can be done overnight.

The reason why Luluman was able to obtain sufficient loans in a very short period of time was largely due to the connections and guarantees of her mentor, Cuilisi.

In contrast, Archimedes's prized disciple did not actually have much direct support that he could draw upon.

The Wizard Alliance will take some time to assess whether the Level-4 Magician is capable of repaying the loan within the stipulated time, and will also consider the amount of the loan.

Take Luluman as an example. If she can't repay the basic loan of the Holy Tower, the Wizard Alliance will probably send someone to ask her mentor Cuilisi, for the money, since Cuilisi is Luluman's guarantor. →

Of course, in most cases, the Wizard Alliance is still quite humane.

For Level-4 Magician who aspire to build Holy Tower, loans are generally approved, though the amounts vary.

Given the situation of Archimedes's top disciple Fladi, two hundred years is still considered short. Luluman guessed that Archimedes would probably stay with her for another four hundred years.

After all, the remuneration that Luluman paid to Archimedes as dean was not small, and Fladi spent a lot of resources in various aspects of building the Holy Tower.

Archimedes had a wife, but he had no children.

The old dean is not young anymore, but he is still working hard on the front line. Besides his genuine love for his work at the Holy Tower, another reason is that he wants to save some money for his disciples.

There were many things piling up at the Azure Source Holy Tower, but fortunately, with the help of capable deans like Archimedes, Luluman was able to handle them quickly.

On the afternoon of the same day that Luluman returned to the Azure Source Holy Tower, Saine met his mentor, whom he had not seen for several years.

Several years had passed since they last met, and neither Saine nor Luluman looked much different from the outside.

However, Luluman's powerful Life Level and keen observation skills allowed her to notice the changes in Saine. →

"It seems your Azure Fire Body Tempering has made considerable progress, not bad, not bad." In the laboratory, Luluman first examined Saine for a while, then nodded in approval.

The place where Saine and Luluman met was on the 746th floor of the Holy Tower, which was one of Luluman's laboratories.

Since it was a meeting between master and disciple, Luluman didn't need to make it as formal as when she met Archimedes, and she also didn't have any other matters to attend to.

This laboratory is one of Luluman's many laboratories in Holy Tower.

In addition to its function as a "laboratory", this place can also be called Luluman's "Collection Room".

Saine saw many strangely shaped collectibles, which were specimens made by Luluman over thousands of years. Among the specimens on the 746th floor of the Holy Tower, most of them were Living Specimen.

Luluman's praise made Saine quite happy.

He wasn't doing it because he liked being praised, but rather because of Luluman's approval, which actually indicated that Saine's path of becoming a conjoined twin was the right one.

So, Saine took the opportunity to introduce his concept of Azure Fire Body Tempering to Luluman and asked his mentor about some problems he encountered during the experiment.

Saine explained things in great detail, including asking some very tricky questions.

After a moment's thought, Luluman provided answers to most of the questions Saine asked.

As a Level-4 Magician, Luluman had crossed more bridges Saine had walked roads.

Furthermore, because she has mastered the power of the laws, Luluman often analyzes Saine's questions from a higher perspective, rather than simply focusing on the surface of energy and elements.

This also confirms the benefits of having a Level-4 Magician as a mentor.

If Saine's mentor were only a Third-Level Great Magician, it would be enough to teach Saine, but it would never reach the same level of effectiveness and depth as Luluman's.

The only thing that Saine didn't notice was the slight embarrassment that Luluman showed when he asked about some of the deeper mysteries of the Azure Fire Body Tempering.

Does that mean a mentor should tell their students they don't know either?

Fortunately, Luluman was quick-witted enough that she managed to keep Saine from discovering this.

And because Saine asked so many questions, he focused his energy on pondering the other Truth Mysteries that Luluman had answered him about.

Therefore, Saine had not yet had time to answer some of the questions that Luluman had given vague answers to.

Furthermore, even if Luluman's answers to certain questions about magic were not very detailed, she definitely did not mislead her own disciple.

For example, regarding the Azure Fire Body Tempering, Luluman told Saine everything she knew, including many things that her senior brother Gagaru and mentor Cuilisi had explored.

Luluman may not have mastered it perfectly, but it was certainly enough to deal with Saine, a first-level disciple.

The atmosphere of the master-disciple meeting was originally quite harmonious, but after a day and a night, Luluman couldn't help but wipe away the few beads of sweat that had seeped from her forehead.

She already felt she was struggling to teach Saine at the first stage.

If Saine advances to level two or three in the future, I'm afraid Luluman might have nothing left to teach him!

This situation occurred mainly because the path that Saine took was very different from that of Luluman.

If Saine were a Plant Element elementalist, Luluman could talk to him for days and nights without stopping.

Unfortunately, while Saine has already made some progress in the fields of fire and light, he is not particularly proficient in Plant Element elements and related disciplines.

Luluman was still too young; she hadn't carefully considered the actual situation when choosing an apprentice.

Feeling that Saine was becoming increasingly difficult to teach, Luluman made up her mind that when she took on another disciple in the future, she would definitely find a Plant Element apprentice whose knowledge system matched her own.

Of course, at this stage, Luluman has absolutely no intention of taking on any more disciples.

One Saine was enough to give her a headache, Luluman had too many other things to do, so how could she possibly be distracted by anything else?
