Of course, even though New Flyer's research lowered the standard of learning magic to a level that even ordinary people could touch, but just like the basic subjects on Earth, different people had different levels of proficiency. After the standard of learning magic was lowered, there were also differences between good and bad. It was a new type of "magic talent" that manifested itself.
For example, Freya was one of the most outstanding magicians in the new era who received this new magic education.
Because her grandfather was a grand magus, her father was the youngest grand magus in history, and her mother was a ninth rank magus who was only a step away from becoming a grand magus, it was impossible for Freya not to come into contact with magic when she was born into such a family.
And Freya was indeed very interested in the various miracles of magic since she was young. Since she was six years old, Mentor Carmilla, Xu Yi, and Stiel would take time out to teach her magic.
But unlike most magicians on the continent, Freya had been mainly learning magic from Xu Yi when she was learning magic. She would first do the most basic data analysis of every spell before learning and mastering it.
Because of this, Freya's understanding of magic was not like the other magicians in the past who treated it as a vague concept. Instead, she would do a very detailed analysis of every spell she mastered before she could truly master it.
The problem with this approach was that Freya had to spend more time and effort to master any new spell than the other magicians in the past.
For example, when she first learned the most basic fire spell, Fireball, Freya took a whole week to successfully cast a Fireball spell. Compared to the average three days that many beginner and level-2 magicians in the New Flight College learned Fireball, she was much slower.
And compared to the genius magicians like Mentor Carmilla, Xu Yi, and Stiel, she was a far cry.
But the advantage of this was that after Freya mastered Fireball, the first time she successfully cast a Fireball spell, she had almost reached the pinnacle of Fireball. In terms of the stability of magic elements, the shape of the Fireball, and the ratio of mana and magic elements, she could be said to be almost perfect.
And after successfully casting the first Fireball spell, it meant that Freya had perfectly mastered all the knowledge related to this Fireball spell, so she was able to learn other fire spells very quickly.
For example, when a normal magician learned fire spells, the first spell they learned was Fireball, because it was the foundation of fire spells.
Normally, a magician with a certain level of magic talent would be able to learn it in two or three days.
The second spell was more complicated. One could choose Flame, Fireball, and so on. A normal magician would need about one to two weeks to master it.
However, after Freya spent an entire week to successfully cast Fireball, it only took her less than half an hour to successfully cast the second spell, Inferno, from the time she first came in contact with it to the time she successfully cast it!
After that, she only used a mere three days to successfully cast all of the level one fire magic spells that the Magicians Guild had set for her.
When Mentor Carmilla heard the news, she was so excited that she flew a few rounds in the sky before coming down, shouting, "There's another super genius magician in the family!"
Xu Yi was very calm about this, because he was not surprised at all by Freya's reaction.
In his opinion, magic was simply using a mage's own mana to attract the corresponding magical elements in the surrounding space. Then, these magical elements would be arranged in a specific way, and through a certain method, the energy contained in the magical elements would be detonated.
In essence, this was not much different from lighting a piece of firewood.
Although Freya spent a week to master the Fireball spell, what she learned in this week was not only about the Fireball spell, but also completely grasped the characteristics of the fire magic elements and how to arrange them.
That was why she could learn new fire spells so quickly, because to her, as long as she grasped the essence of fire magic, the so-called new spells were nothing more than a new way of arranging the magic elements.
If it was not for the restriction of her own mana, Freya could break the rules and directly release a higher level spell.
But speaking of mana …
"Freya, how's the speed of your mana recently?" Xu Yi asked Freya.
Freya's two slender eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and her expression was a little depressed.
"It's been very slow these past few months.
Father, have I reached the bottleneck period that great-grandpa and grandpa Turner talked about? "
"What bottleneck period, there's no such thing." Xu Yi curled his lips in disdain.
The Sines Mages had a so-called "bottleneck period" concept for their own mana cultivation, which meant that when a mage's mana increased to a certain extent, they would find that the increase was very slow, which meant that they had reached a bottleneck, and only after breaking through this bottleneck would they be able to improve greatly.
But to Xu Yi, this was simply nonsense.
Because this so-called "bottleneck period" did not conform to the laws of science at all.
The so-called mana of a mage was actually the continuous transformation of a mage's body by absorbing the magic elements from the outside world, so that it could have a stronger resonance with the magic elements, and thus control more magic elements.
This transformation could be said to be endless, and it was gradual, so there was no so-called bottleneck period at all. As long as one persevered, there would always be an improvement.
In the past, those mages who had been stuck at the level of a low-level mage and could not be promoted were limited by their own physique, and also limited by the methods they had mastered to increase their mana, so their mana increased very slowly, and there was even no hope for them to be promoted to a high-level mage in their lifetime.
But Freya had inherited the excellent genes from Xu Yi and Stiel, and also had a lot of powerful mages who had personally created a method for her to cultivate her mana, so she did not have these problems, so she would not have the so-called bottleneck period at all.
"Come, let me see."
After thinking for a while, Xu Yi reached out and pressed his hand on Freya's shoulder, and a trace of mana entered her body.
After this trace of mana circled around Freya's body, Xu Yi did not know whether to laugh or cry as he withdrew his hand.
"Hey, Freya, when was the last time you measured your height?"
Freya blinked, and was a little puzzled as to why Xu Yi suddenly asked this question.
"Uh … It should be half a year ago …" Freya replied with uncertainty.
"How tall was the last time you measured it?" Xu Yi asked again.
"I remember it was 1.47 meters."
"1.47 meters?"
Xu Yi was originally sitting on a chair, but when he heard Freya's answer, he stood up and pulled Freya in front of him, and used his hand to compare the top of her head to the front of his body, and found that the top of Freya's head was just at the level of his own lower lip.
"Freya, I can be sure that you have grown taller again.
You see, you are now above my chin, I think you must be more than 1.6 meters. "
"Is that so?" Freya immediately raised her small fist happily.
"That's great!
Looks like it won't take long for me to be taller than you, Dad! "
"Do you want to surpass me so much?"
Xu Yi smiled and knocked her head, then coughed lightly and said seriously, "Freya, I know where the problem of your magic power slowing down is."
"What problem?"
"Actually, the reason is very simple, it is because you have grown taller."
"Ah?" Freya blinked with a blank face.
"What does growing taller have to do with my magic power slowing down?"
"Of course it has something to do with it."
Xu Yi said with a serious face, "The so-called training to increase your magic power is to let your body continuously adapt to the magical elements, thus making it easier for your mind to control your body and resonate with the surrounding magical elements, and then mobilize and control them.
The method of training your magic power that you have been using before was developed by me, your great grandfather, and a few great mages according to your appearance when you first started learning magic when you were six years old, and it perfectly fits your situation.
But now you are at least twice as tall as when you were six years old, and your body shape has also changed a lot. If you continue to use the previous method of training your magic power, of course you will not be able to adapt. "
"No wonder I felt that my magic power had slowed down a few years ago, I had always thought that this was a normal phenomenon …" Freya muttered, and then asked, "Then the reason why I feel that my magic power has been increasing very slowly in the past few months, is it because I have been growing very fast recently?"
"Yes." Xu Yi chuckled and patted Freya's head.
"Our Freya has grown into a big child, especially in the past one or two years, you will grow very fast and change a lot.
Hmm … How about this, I will discuss with your great grandfather and the others in the next two days, and we will tailor a new magic power training method for you, what do you think? "
"Really?
That's great! "Freya excitedly pounced on Xu Yi and hugged him.
"Daddy, I really like you so much!"
Xu Yi laughed and lowered his head to look at Freya, who was rubbing her face against his chest. He thought to himself that if the magic power training method that Freya had been using before could be considered a primary school lesson, then the magic power training method that was tailor-made for her should be considered a secondary school lesson.
Freya had Mentor Carmilla, himself, and a group of powerful mages in New Flyer as her backing, so he could tailor a magic power training method for her.
However, very few mages on this continent had such superior conditions, so when they learned magic, their progress would naturally be much slower.
However, this was not the situation that Xu Yi wanted to see.
"Then how should I promote Freya's method of learning magic?"
Xu Yi fell into deep thought.
