Coming to the area where Rorick Academy was again, Sylutia got off the carriage and stood in front of the tall Academy gate. There were eight pillars here, and many Rorick Academy students came in and out.
"Hello, students from other schools must register and present their application." The staff reminded her.
"I know." Sylutia put his hand into his pocket and held the Key. Then a badge appeared in the palm of his hand and handed it to the other party.
"Oh, it's actually the pass badge given to you by Professor Maledo." The other party checked the mark on the badge and registered it.
"Go in, if you want to rest overnight, please go to Red Brick Inn in West Third District"."
"Okay, thank you." Sylutia nodded, put the badge on his chest, and walked in.
Following the instructions on the business card, she came to a tall building where professors worked. Although they were often away for other things, they still came here every morning.
"Are you looking for Professor Fukalian? Please wait a moment." After the staff asked the purpose of their visit, they asked Sylutia to sit on one side of the hall.
About twenty minutes later, Fukalian walked down the stairs unhurriedly. Behind her were two girls, both of whom were on the third level.
"We meet again, Hedra." The other party waved to the girl, then walked over to look at her with interest.
"You've advanced very quickly, it's only been a year.
"Thetis Academy How's your life going? If you don't like it, you can come to my place, haha." She joked casually, while the two girls behind her looked at the girl curiously.
"Let me go to the restaurant and sit down for a while. It's too boring to stand and chat here." She led the three of them to a small restaurant in the Academy, which is located by the lake and has beautiful scenery.
After the four people sat down, the waiter brought them the drinks they ordered. Now Fukalian was sitting on the rattan chair, with his legs crossed and crossed in a relaxed manner, looking at the lake view outside the open-air restaurant.
"Huh, it feels good to have something to drink." She put the cup down and then introduced the three of them to each other.
"This is Hedra. The girl I told you before participated in Freshman Tournament alone and got the rank as an apprentice. She is now a student of the Thetis Academy."
"Hello."
"Then these two are my new apprentices. They will follow me to learn the secrets of Phantom Dream Substitute. Their names are Yisu and Jinna." After speaking, the two nodded.
Among them, Yisu has gray-blue hair and a wide braid. Jinna, on the other side, has dark gold hair and has hair ornaments coiled up like conches on both sides of her ears.
"The two of them have good talents, and they have mastered Art of Obedient Listening". In a few years, when they reach the fourth level, I will be able to teach them Art of Tactile Pressure", and then Fifth Order's Art of Mental Imagery", and then Sixth Order will complete the fusion of all the secrets and complete Phantom Dream Substitute"." Introduction to Fukalian.
"That's it." Only then did Sylutia know the subsequent secret techniques and the complete sequence of practice.
"Logically speaking, this secret method is not taught to the outside world, but who makes it difficult for my lineage to pass on. If you have really completed all the prerequisite abilities, then I will apply with Dean Academy to help you obtain the qualifications to pass on." Fukalian explained.
Then Fukalian asked Sylutia whether he had studied the use of "Art of Empathic Connection" in the past year.
"It seems that you have not fully exploited its potential." Fukalian listened to Sylutia's story and shook his finger.
"But yes, you advanced in one year. You are probably too busy studying and accumulating resources, so you don't have much time for research."
"Let's talk about a simple purpose first." Fukalian clapped his hands and asked the waiter in the restaurant to bring two fishing rods, then hang the bait and throw them into the lake.
"If you usually fish, you will find that waiting for the fish to bite is boring and tedious, and you have to constantly guess why no fish bites the hook, etc."
"But -" Fukalian flicked his finger, and a lavender bead hung on the fishhook, and then was thrown into the water again.
"This way you can clearly see the underwater situation, and analyze why the fish don't come and bite the hook." Not long after she finished speaking, she pulled in a black fish.
"Let this be our lunch." She asked the restaurant staff to cook it, and then continued.
"You have to use your imagination. Since it can be hung on a fishhook, it can certainly be hung on other things, such as insects that ordinary people ignore, tiny snake bodies, shot arrows, etc."
"Even when treating a disease, it can be used to check the condition of the patient's body."
"Humans, as individuals and animals, have innate shackles and limits, and what we pursue is to break these shackles so that your life can feel and experience the world in a rich way."
Hearing these words, the two girls behind Fukalian looked like they were used to it, and even talked quietly.
"The teacher is talking about that set of ideas again, and sometimes it feels scary."
"When a person ceases to be a person."
In response to the whispers of the two guys behind her, Fukalian raised her finger, and a figure exactly like her walked out from under the elm tree not far behind her. He came behind the two girls and grabbed them one by one. They were so scared that they yelled. Later, they found out that it was Fukalian, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you so afraid of me? Don't be so rude in front of guests in the future, got it?"
"I'm sorry, teacher." The two of them stuck out their tongues and lowered their heads to admit their mistake.
Although he looks a bit playful, it can be seen that Fukalian treats the two of them very well, so much so that they dare to discuss and complain without hesitation.
Sylutia After listening, I thought about it for a while, and then the lunch prepared by the restaurant was served, including the soup made from the black fish just now.
In the afternoon, Sylutia followed Fukalian to learn Art of Obedient Listening. This secret method allows Doll to hear sounds and make sounds. It is more powerful when used occasionally to scare people.
"Listening is the goal of stage First Order. Making sounds will be much more difficult. After all, these are not your vocal cords, but the vibration of the air to make sounds."
"If you really want to be consistent with the human voice, you need to spend a lot of time practicing." After the teaching, Fukalian gave some instructions.
In the evening, Sylutia stayed at the Academy's hotel and had a good night's rest.
The next day, she found the place where Aurora lived. It was an independent cabin, similar to the one Sylutia lived in the Thetis Academy.
The roof is made of dark blue tiles, and the walls are made of pure white stone bricks below. There are some flower pots in the corners with some flowers and plants planted in them. It can be seen that Aurora likes the color scheme of dark blue and light white very much. The clothes she often wears and the things she uses are all like this.
After knocking on the door, there was a sound of opening the door soon, but the person who walked out was not Aurora, but a slightly petite Doll, who had silver hair similar to Aurora, wore a headband on his head, and wore an exquisite little skirt.
"Hedra, why are you here?" Soon after seeing this Doll from Levitation, Aurora came out. She seemed to have just gotten up and was still wearing her nightgown.
"I happened to be here at the Rorick Academy, so I came to see you." The two of them had met on Silver Bell Festival, so they weren't that surprised or unfamiliar.
After sitting down together, Sylutia curiously asked the Doll just now.
"That's what I completed recently. It's similar to the Black Kite Doll you got last year, but it hasn't reached my goal yet." She waved her hand, and the invisible thread controlled Doll to fly over and sit in her arms.
"It's very cute, this little guy." She picked up Doll and showed it to Sylutia.
"I made several sets of clothes for her and prepared several small weapons." After that, she asked Doll to move out a small box in the corner, opened it like a display toy, and took out the long sword, lance, shield, long axe, bow and arrow that fit Doll's proportions----
"Although she is not very strong, watching her gradually become able to use various props makes me feel very accomplished and happy."
"When I reach the third level, I can replace her with my own Memory Gem." Aurora stroked the Doll in his arms and said his next thoughts.
"Don't you think it's interesting? If she could have my complete memory, would she be another me?"
"I grew up in a place full of operas and stories, and I have seen many performances, but I don't like to play other people, nor do I want to forcefully exaggerate emotions for the so-called performance effect. This is actually very unusual in a family where most of the singers and playwrights come from."
"My mother occasionally said that I was too cold and not as energetic as my other brothers and sisters."
"I have always felt that I hate performing."
"But now I find that this is not the case." She raised her finger, and with the flexible silk thread control of her finger, the little Doll below stood on the coffee table, picked up the small teacup, and then sat on the stacked books, making a sip of a taste.
"I love watching her do things, even clumsy housework is fun."
"Yes, I am controlling her actions, but it is not me. It seems like she is watching her other self grow up."
"I don't like pretending to be someone else, but if I'm manipulating Doll to perform, I don't hate it."
"It's amazing, this feeling." She sighed softly, and finally let go of the thread, letting Doll return to her arms.
In the next few days, Aurora and Sylutia exchanged knowledge on Empathy's two secret techniques of "speaking and listening", and Professor Fukalian also learned about their relationship.
"I didn't expect you two to know each other." She was wearing a bright yellow pleated fluffy skirt today, holding an umbrella, and she was taking the two of them rowing in the small lake of the Academy.
"Aurora is the chief among the new students. He treats the students very coldly and rarely talks. I thought this kid would be very withdrawn." Fukalian talked about Aurora's situation in the Academy.
"It seems that she just likes to communicate with people who have similar interests." She sat on the bow of the boat, holding an umbrella to shield the two of them from the sun. She looked at the two people sitting opposite, one with black hair and the other with silver hair. There was a sharp contrast, but a harmonious feeling.
"Since Aurora has friends, I'm relieved." She leaned on the back of the chair behind her, closed her eyes slightly, and felt the breeze blowing across the lake.
The afternoon sun is not too bright, but has just the right amount of warmth.
The sound of the oars rippled on the lake, and the ripples floated into the distance.
