The Absolute Speed of a Certain Comic 127

Title: Lefiya’s Training

For top-tier mages, they can perform dodging, moving, defending, etc., while chanting spells, becoming a moving fortress rather than a target.

The technique of performing multiple actions simultaneously is called “parallel chanting.”

The deterrent effect of a moving fortress is significant.

If someone wants to become a great mage, they must learn the skill of parallel chanting. Riveria is proficient in this and has been training Lefiya in this direction.

“Is it difficult?”

“Not too difficult.”

Line replied with a sigh.

Learning parallel chanting is not hard.

For example, if Line were also a mage, she couldn’t do parallel chanting. However, as a healing mage, she usually only needs to heal her friends from the back and doesn’t often go to the battlefield, so she doesn’t need to do parallel chanting.

Whether a mage can learn to chant spells in parallel is the criterion for judging whether a mage is great.

“In general, it’s like multitasking.”

Hoshiharu thought, but then shook his head, “No, it should be simpler than multitasking.”

He actually had a related problem himself.

That is, when he activated Noble Art, he could only perform one type of arrangement at the same time. In fact, he had trained himself in this aspect and wanted to perform two or even three speed arrangements at the same time.

This matter is actually similar to parallel chanting, but here it is more difficult because performing two settings at the same time greatly requires the ability to do two things simultaneously.

When chanting spells in parallel, what a mage needs to do is to make their movements instinctive.

“You make it sound easy. It’s also a difficult skill, okay?”

Lefiya puffed her cheeks like a hamster, looking very unconvinced.

Unlike at the beginning when she didn’t even dare to look at him, after getting used to each other for a long time, her attitude became a bit more relaxed, and they both became like a pair in one family.

“How about trying it?”

Hoshiharu raised his eyebrows.

“Just try it!”

Lefiya refused to lose.

“I just finished eating, so let’s continue exploring.”

Line also stood up and put the lunchbox and tablecloth back into her backpack.

The afternoon journey officially began.

Several people passed through the stone chambers one after another, following the map guide and heading towards the corridor on the 14th Floor.

On the way, they encountered several fierce Almiraj again.

“Don’t run! Attack directly towards the enemy!”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa! It will kill me—!”

As Lefiya was about to unleash her magic, she was startled by a stone axe thrown by several Almiraj. Her chant was suddenly interrupted, and she was lucky not to be overwhelmed by the random magical force in her body.

An accidental burst of magical power is very fatal. If not careful, it can backfire on the mage, from severe pain to a serious explosion on the spot.

Hoshiharu immediately shouted at her.

“Don’t be afraid! The more afraid you are, the less likely you are to grow!”

“Whoa! You’re a bad guy!”

Lefiya almost cried but had no more tears.

She deeply regretted that she shouldn’t have listened to Riveria yesterday and teamed up with this guy to explore the dungeon.

Riveria’s teaching was also very simple; she would always cram various knowledge and also conduct random tests from time to time.

But Riveria at least wouldn’t let her risk her life.

But this bad guy is different!

As soon as a monster appeared, he asked her to engage in actual combat, asked her to practice parallel chanting under the monster’s attack, and even shouted at her not to run away.

How could Lefiya not run?

She wasn’t a durable adventurer. If she got hit by a high-speed spinning stone axe, even though she was Level 3, she would definitely die!

Chased by Almiraj, Lefiya ran back and forth, running very fast with extraordinary agility.

“Mhm...is this too much?”

Line couldn’t stand it anymore and felt that Hoshiharu’s training was too simple, even harsher than Riveria’s training.

“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”

Hoshiharu shook his head.

Line suddenly realized that his eyes were fixed on the fleeing Lefiya, and there seemed to be...a shimmering blade in his left palm?

What is the use of this, Line didn’t understand.

“Riveria is the strongest mage in Orario. With her teaching, Lefiya must have very rich theoretical knowledge.”

Hoshiharu didn’t take his eyes off Lefiya, who was running around, and continued to explain: “In this way, there’s only one reason why she can’t master parallel chanting, and that is she lacks actual combat like this. Especially the lack of experience being chased by monsters.”

Mage is indeed a profession that tends to fight with magic, but as long as it is a combat profession, everything needs to be tested in actual combat. Only by experiencing enough actual combat can they achieve corresponding growth.

Of course, if it were a cheater with the talent to cheat, let’s say he didn’t say anything.

“The monsters don’t have axes anymore. Why are you still afraid, just do it!”

Seeing Lefiya didn’t have the idea to counterattack, Hoshiharu roared again and killed two Hellhounds that ran from behind.

“Really! Let’s do it!”

Lefiya turned around, with anger in her eyes because she had been hunted for several minutes, and raised her staff high—

Then one by one with staff, she knocked out the three Almiraj.

Hoshiharu: “😐”

The tricky thing about Almiraj is that they are good at using their natural weaponry, but their individual strength is very weak, only about Level 1, which is actually not enough in front of Lefiya at Level 3.

“Do you want to practice staff techniques, or do you want to practice parallel chanting?”

Hoshiharu stepped forward and killed all the Almiraj one by one, then stared at Lefiya with puzzled eyes.

Lefiya: (.﹏.*)

“Forget it, let’s do it again!”

Hoshiharu shook his head, pulled three Almiraj from a distance again, then pushed Lefiya out.

Lefiya: “!!!”

“If you can’t fight, focus on dodging! One bite won’t kill you. Don’t think about fighting or defending first. The first step is to learn to escape, and then try to fight when you escape!”

“The most important thing is, never turn your back on the monster! Don’t be dominated by fear. Is this your only courage and ambition?”

Falling into the monster group again, Lefiya felt it was very difficult.

But—

“I have to show Ais-san my strong side!”

With this thought, Lefiya held her breath, and under the guidance of the voice behind her, she began to face the monster directly.

“The key is not to be afraid!”
