Hibbert’s eyes suddenly focused. He looked at Matthew with a puzzled and relieved expression.
” Oh, oh, I’m just thinking out of habit. There are always some questions that are difficult to answer in my mind, and I can’t help but think about them. This causes me to be in a daze often. Sorry.”
Matthew asked curiously,
“A difficult question to answer? Which ones are you referring to?”
Hibbert pondered.
” It’s hard to explain it in a few words. For example, there’s a question that has been around since I took the entrance exam for the Academy of Magic when I was a child. Until today, I still haven’t gotten an answer.”
Matthew looked encouraging.
“Tell me.”
Hibbert said slowly,
“I remember very clearly that there were 102 students in the square at that time. There were more girls than boys, but they were all very excited. Some were whispering, and some pretended to be calm but were actually trembling.
“We were told that the entrance exam for the magic academy was to learn cantrips.
“The specific rules were that everyone would surround a huge magic stone tablet. The stone tablet was engraved with all kinds of magic words, and all the cantrips that had been discovered in history were recorded on it.
“Within two hours.
“As long as one could learn three kinds of cantrips, they could become an apprentice of an ordinary magic academy.
“Five types of cantrips will give you a chance to enter the Elite Magic Academy;
“If you have more than 10 types, you will directly become a mage apprentice.”
Hearing this.
Matthew felt that he had guessed the truth, but he still couldn’t help but ask,
“How many have you learned?”
Hibbert thought for a moment.
“516.”
Matthew’s eyes twitched.
“So why are you confused?”
Hibbert sighed.
“The little girl beside me has only learned three after spending so much effort.
” And the boy from a noble family in front of me cried for a long time. He couldn’t even learn one.
“From then on, I had this question in my heart: Why can’t they learn it? Why am I the only one special? Why should I receive such preferential treatment?
” What happened later intensified my thoughts. Everyone said that I was a genius, but no one told me why.
” I’m confused because of this, and you’re confused and in pain. I really hope someone can help me. Can you tell me why this is the case, Matthew?”
He looked at Matthew with a particularly sincere and clear gaze.
Matthew resisted the urge to punch him.
“Sorry, Hibbert. I’m afraid I can’t give you an answer. If I had been by your side, I might have been the same as that little girl who only knew three kinds of cantrips.”
Matthew shook his head and sighed.
Hibbert sighed heavily.
At this moment.
Hibbert’s body suddenly lit up with a strange light!
His expression changed, and his voice trembled.
“Shit, Matthew!”
At that moment.
Hibbert’s face turned extremely pale!
“What’s wrong?”
Matthew was shocked.
On the data panel.
[Hint: Hibbert, the person you are talking to, has automatically advanced to Legendary. His level has increased to Level 21.]
Hibbert is using the Legendary Law to reconstruct his body…
“Matthew, give me your hand. Help me!”
Hibbert revealed a pained expression.
Matthew did not hesitate and immediately extended his left hand. Who knew that Hibbert would bite his palm?
Matthew’s eyelids were twitching from Hibbert’s bite. His intuition told him that this guy must have bitten him until his skin was torn!
In the next second.
A strong heat flow surged into Matthew’s left palm.
Matthew wanted to slap Hibbert away.
However, under the injection of that warm current.
He forcefully endured it.
A moment later.
Hibbert loosened his mouth in relief and looked at Matthew with gratitude.
Matthew looked at the data panel silently.
[Prompt: You have received 10000 XP from Hibbert!]
You noticed that Hibbert had forcefully interrupted the Legend’s automatic advancement.
His level has been restored to LV20.
“Were you just forced to enter the Legend rank?”
Matthew said bitterly.
Hibbert cast a healing spell on Matthew’s palm and replied casually,
“It seems so.”
Matthew couldn’t help but ask,
“Does this often happen?”
Hibbert answered honestly,
” Once a month. I used to settle it every time, but I’ve been thinking about the Watcher Highland recently and forgot about the automatic promotion. Thank goodness you’re here! Otherwise, it would have caused a huge disaster!”
Hearing this.
Matthew had mixed feelings.
” Why would advancing to Legend be a disaster?”
Hibbert explained,
” My mentor’s only request for me is that I’m not allowed to enter Legend before the age of 30.”
Matthew asked,
“Then how old are you this year?”
Hibbert thought for a moment.
“28? Maybe 25, but definitely not 30.
“Oh no, how old am I this year?
“But it doesn’t matter. I’ll find out when I have time to go home and ask Mom.”
He looked at him, talking to himself.
At this moment.
Matthew finally understood why Margaret had looked so angry when she mentioned the hall mages.
She had risked her life for the path of legend and had to gamble her life to win a chance.
But what about Hibbert?
He could automatically advance to Legend even if he ate, drank, or slept!
Matthew felt like he was cheating.
But compared to the top geniuses of the Alliance.
He was nothing!
Fortunately, in the world of mages, talent did not represent everything.
