[Bo Le]

The dangers of ultrasound are generally concentrated in three areas:

First, the skin, second, the eyes, and third, nerve damage.

Downs, true to his former knight apprentice status, bounced back the day after sleeping it off, completely fine. While his resilience might not match his old companions, it's certainly close.

By the standards of D&D-like games, Lein estimates that guy's Constitution wouldn't be lower than 14. For a Mage, that's definitely a misallocated talent.

It's a shame you can't apply normal standards to these incredibly gifted monsters!

Lein strongly suspects that comprehension isn't included in basic stats like [Intelligence], but is rather a hidden attribute.

Regarding his disciple's monstrous talent, Lein knows this is just the beginning.

He flipped through ancient magic books from the Cervantes delegation, using them as a reference.

Although modern people can no longer cast spells from them due to the collapse of the magic net, 'other stones can polish jade.'

It was only upon reading them that he discovered his talented disciple had already 'learned' magic from the Evocation school, [Lightning], protection magic, [Lightning and Arrow Protection] from the Abjuration school, and [Cloud Mist Technique] from the Conjuration school.

All things considered, Downs wasn't just well-rounded; he had learned magic from three of the eight major magic systems.

As the saying goes, one should specialize. Even if Lein couldn't teach him magic from other schools in the future, just these three systems Downs could wield would make Lein incredibly proud.

What does it matter to the master if the disciple can't learn magic from other schools?

Lein mused that after he finished teaching all of middle school physics, the only magic Downs might not be able to comprehend would probably be [Necromancy].

This couldn't be considered a weakness; Downs just needed to learn how to deal with undead.

Worst case scenario, they could resort to [Physical Ghost Busting]?

For the next three days, Downs was somewhat distracted from his studies. As soon as class ended, he'd scamper off to the pond to look after the sun rainbow little white horse.

To Lein's utter dismay, Downs not only searched for suitable grass for the little white horse but also shamelessly pilfered the carrots his master had set aside for himself.

The batch of carrots his master had recently planted wasn't ready for harvest yet; they were found earlier in the valley.

Every bite taken meant one less bite available.

This forced the master to tearfully increase the meat content in his own diet.

Three days later, seeing the little white horse able to stand and regaining its spirit.

Lein sat imposingly on a large rock in front of it and said sternly in front of Downs, "Little white horse, I know you can understand human speech. I won't waste words. Since you will be my eldest disciple's mount in the future, I will [Bestow a Name] upon you!"

Upon hearing this, the little white horse immediately shook its head vigorously and snorted, strongly expressing its displeasure.

Through the magical beast's telepathy, Lein vaguely sensed that this Wind-Riding Divine Steed had its own name, which, when directly translated, sounded something like [Bo].

Lein's face darkened, and he said seriously, "This valley is under my command. I saved you too. Since you disagree, then consider me not having saved you, and I'll just have to let you die."

The little white horse promptly adopted a wary and defensive posture, though its front legs were stretched out, forming a sharp angle with the ground, while its hind legs were bent like tightly coiled springs, as if contemplating a getaway.

Downs suddenly became anxious, "Master, isn't this a bit much?"

Lein shot his disciple an angry glare. The disciple flinched, unsure of what to do.

Lein continued, "The path of magic values equivalent exchange the most! Downs saved you from the clutches of the fire bats, and you are willing to be his mount. I saved you, and if you don't pay something, I can only take back your life. Renaming you is already the lowest price you have to pay."

The little white horse's face contorted like a bitter gourd. Moreover, its injuries hadn't fully healed, and it couldn't fly yet. In this valley, where could it possibly escape from an Archmage?

Very reluctantly, the little white horse finally nodded.

"Don't be unhappy. Since your name has the character [Bo] in it, you shall be called [Bo Le] from now on. Don't think this name is simple. In my world, all the finest horses in existence must pass your approval to be considered truly good horses. This name doesn't demean you; rather, it elevates your status."

The Wind-Riding Steed had telepathy and almost instantly grasped the meaning of [Bo Le] from the surface of Lein's mind.

The thought of all the famous horses in the world needing his approval to be considered such was akin to asking a normal man to be a judge at a beauty pageant. Suddenly, this half-grown colt displayed a rather unscrupulous side.

It took small, tiptoeing steps and nuzzled Lein's hand affectionately with its equine face...

This scene stunned Downs, "Master, this..."

"It's fine, it doesn't affect your relationship with Bo Le. Didn't you see he's happy to change his name too? This matter is settled."

The naive Downs didn't understand what his master was up to and didn't think much of it. Only Lein was inwardly overjoyed.

System Notification:

[??? Quest Completion: 1/2. As long as the host forces one more high-level magical beast to change its name, the host will receive the exclusive Father's Talent (Father's Authority)! When the host uses command-type magic that requires a willpower check, they gain an additional 30% success rate bonus.]

This quest was accidentally triggered by Lein while he was reading the ancient magic books. There was a spell in the book called [Command Beasts], which essentially involved forcibly commanding a wild creature that didn't belong to you to do something.

Unexpectedly, just as he was reading this part, the system, which often played dead, issued him a quest.

Operating under the principle of "why not do it if it's free, and if it's done, it's pure profit," Lein bullied the little white horse.

Now, it seemed like a win-win-win situation for everyone!

With [Bo Le] settled, and before this possibly soon-to-be-adult lecherous horse could fully recover, Downs finally returned to a normal learning state.

On this day, Lein was teaching the [Second Law of Thermodynamics]: "Heat can spontaneously transfer from a hotter object to a colder object, but cannot spontaneously transfer from a colder object to a hotter object."

Almost as soon as the words left his mouth, no, perhaps after Downs pondered for five seconds, a ball of icy aura appeared in his right palm.

Downs exclaimed joyfully, "Master! I've comprehended it!"

Lein: ???

You've comprehended something again?

Even though he knew his good disciple possessed a ??? comprehension talent, when Lein learned from the system prompt that Downs had spontaneously comprehended the Level 3 spell [Ice Blast], Lein's little heart still trembled fiercely.

At this pace, Downs would likely master three Level 3 spells and advance to a Level 3 Mage before long.

If he continued to be this monstrous, within half a year he would successfully advance to a Level 6 or higher Mage, becoming a high-level mage.

Just then, Bo Le suddenly stumbled over, letting out a whinny that signaled an alarm while repeatedly glancing at the sky.

Lein... Actually, he hadn't sensed anything; he was pretending to.

He raised an eyelid and said in a nonchalant tone, "Downs, see things through to the end. Understand?"

Downs abruptly turned his head to stare at the giant fire bat in the sky and said sternly, "No problem! Please, Master, cover my rear."

"Go!" Lein waved his hand.
