Within the Griffin Mansion

Sylutia is sitting on a stool in the bedroom, playing the violin with his head sideways. The body is made of black oak and has an elegant tone.

This violin was a gift from Lady Sara a few days ago, because she thought that with Sylutia's temperament, she would look very good playing the violin.

When Sylutia was a child in this life, she studied music for a period of time with her mother, but that was at a very young age. At that time, her mother mainly encouraged her interests and did not have very strict training.

Holding the bow, Sylutia recalled the teachings he received as a child and slowly searched for that sense of music.

She calmly used the "Memory Labyrinth" and "Meditation Technique" she had learned before to explore the forgotten scene in the corner of her childhood.

"In the iris blue room, the floor was as clear as a mirror. Various musical instruments were hung on one side of the wall, and on the other side were large floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The snow-gauze curtains half-blocked the sunlight. At that time, my mother was sitting in front of the blue porcelain piano, playing notes, letting herself follow her rhythm, and slowly pulling the bow.

At that time, Sylutia must have been only eight years old. She was holding the trumpet violin custom-made for her and pulling it awkwardly. The sound of the piano was intermittent. The mother in the memory was wearing a beautiful blue iris skirt, with long silver hair tied up behind her back, and a bow headband embellished with pearls and silver leaves. Just looking at her back was very beautiful.

"Tia, you need to be slower when reconnecting the bow."

"Hmm."

At that time, Sylutia responded in a low voice, and then pressed with his fingers slightly nervously. There were still some obvious flaws in the process.

After practicing a few times, the young Sylutia became a little discouraged and didn't want to continue.

"What's wrong, Tia, aren't you going to practice today?" Xuelin caressed Sylutia in his arms lovingly.

"I feel like I can't learn well and always make mistakes."

"Really, but I think it's not bad. Even though I'm playing the piano behind your back, I can still imagine Tia's cute appearance in my mind." Mother replied with a smile.

"That's why she said that because she is a mother." Tia pouted. Sometimes she couldn't even listen to the intermittent and unstable sound of the strings.

"It's okay, just practice for a while."

"For something to feel good, you need to go through a relatively bitter and uncomfortable stage, Tia."

"But, that's too far away." At that time, Tia was still very discouraged. After that, he reluctantly practiced a few times and never touched the instrument again. "

The scene in my memory gradually became clearer, and Sylutia could even recall how many musical instruments were hung on the walls of the music room, and which piece of music was being practiced at that time.

Compared with when she was a child, her fingers are much slender now, and her body coordination and control are much stronger. Things that seemed difficult at that time seem to be easy now.

The piece that I had never practiced completely in the past was slowly and completely played in the house today after a few simple adjustments and familiarization.

After it was over, Sylutia opened his eyes, put down the bow, and then carefully touched the violin with his fingers, recalling the past and feeling many emotions.

There is a big difference between the memory of a child and the feelings of an adult. A step that seemed very high at that time is now just a step away. A room that was considered very big at that time can now be reached in just a few steps.

When she was 8 years old, her body had not yet developed, and her control over her fingers and body was far less than it is now. However, her hearing was already very keen at that time. In other words, to her own ears, she would find more omissions and shortcomings in music that seemed good to children of her own age. This was a huge blow to her, because the level of musical instrument playing was very different from that of her family members.

There are many members of Mezzalance's musical instrument club, and even many maids can master several instruments proficiently. In such an environment, Sylutia felt that he could not compare with anyone, and was completely unable to build up his self-confidence. He once thought that he had not inherited his mother's talent at all, and was a "waste" child.

At that time, she seemed to love crying very much, and she often went to her mother Xuelin for help, because her mother would always comfort her gently, which made Sylutia develop a dependence on her when she was a child.

Because of this personality, she rarely played with her peers at that time, until she later met Elysia...

By the way, when she first met Elysia, she felt that he had a bad personality. He always bullied other children around him and teased her a lot. It wasn't until he made her cry one time that Elysia restrained himself. Later, the relationship between the two slowly and strangely improved.

After having Elysia as a playmate, she seemed to cry less and less often, and she no longer went to her mother whenever something happened like in the past.

In a sense, Elysia changed part of her personality.

After recalling it, Sylutia broke away from the immersed meditative state, moved his body a little, put away the carefully crafted violin, and put it back into the case.

After condensing Aspect Power, Sylutia continued to learn from Knox. Now her task is to combine the 76 types of Basic Runes she has learned into the most basic spell model.

"Hedra, do you understand what "runes" are?" One day, after Sylutia finished a course, Knox asked her.

"It's probably the "extraordinary lines" or "imprints" that people in the past summarized."

"That's true, but it's just an appearance." Knox continued.

"You should have heard that "ritual" is the reproduction of "legend", and "runes" are actually some kind of reproduction, but its scope is wider and the conditions are simpler."

"A simple example, in ancient times, there were no creatures in this world that could fly, because in the most ancient era, everyone lived in the water and relied on swimming."

"This instinct is still passed down in the blood of many creatures. Even humans who live on land, their cubs are born with the basic ability to paddle and swim."

"In an era when no creatures could fly, bugs first grew wings and became the first creatures to fly. It was also at that time that "Insect Moth" was born from "House Centipede" and became a brand new "Aspect Power"."

"Why do bugs fly? What is the biggest difference between them and other life forms? Life in ancient times also observed and imitated it. They believed that the key lies in "wings"."

"So other creatures also began to imitate the structure, shape, function, etc. of "wings"."

""Wings" is one of the most basic runes. As long as its appearance and shape are reproduced, it can give living creatures the ability to fly."

"The 76 types of Basic Runes you have learned now are all similar reproductions. They are also summaries of people's certain phenomena and abilities in the past era."

"The combination of the five runes "Triangle·Sharpness·Sturdiness·Speed·Flying" is the most basic attack spell "Missile Shot"."

"The assignment for you today is to construct the spell model of "Missile Shot" and condense it into a primary ability card."

"Yes, Teacher Knox."
