Xinghuan remembered what happened when he was still an apprentice of a wizard.

"Starring, what is your purpose in learning spells?" At that time, his teacher asked him a question like this.

"I think it's probably just to study the way of a mage, and then devote your limited time to infinite learning." Xinghuan said.

In fact, he didn't think so.

But he felt that saying this would make the teacher happy, so he took it for granted.

However, his teacher's response surprised him a little.

"madness!"

This is the reply from the teacher who failed the Great Magi exam for six consecutive years.

"My life is limited, but knowledge is limited. With limitlessness, it is almost gone!" The teacher criticized sternly, "Since life is limited, then pursue limited things. If you have to pursue infinite things, then set a goal for yourself, because I have the deepest experience of what you just said."

"I'm already seventy-five this year. As a human race, I think I'm about to reach the limit of my life." The teacher said, sighing, "But, looking back on the decades I've been a wizard, I've left nothing but regret. By the way, do you know my childhood dream?"

Xinghuan looked at the teacher who had a sudden change in emotions in front of him and could only shake his head.

"When I was a child, I wanted to be a musician." The teacher looked at the vast starry sky in the distance and shook his head. "But later, due to family reasons and some force majeure factors, I had to join the Mage Academy and start my journey of magic."

"Although I don't hate this subject, and I have indeed shed a lot of youth and sweat in this subject and contributed a lot of research, in the end, I still have only regrets. I regret that I didn't do more things I wanted to do." The teacher seemed a little sad in his tone, which made Xinghuan dare not say a word, and could only listen with his head down.

"You may not believe it. Although I have been taking the Grand Magi exam for six years now, do you know how many years I have been taking the Grand Magi exam for the Grand Magi exam?" the teacher asked suddenly with a smile.

"Three years?" Xinghuan made a random mistake.

"Six months." The teacher shook his head, "I was only twenty-six years old at that time, so when I was admitted to the Great Master, everyone was shocked. They thought I was a shocking genius, a leader in the mage world, and a candidate for the next four great masters, but what about me now?"

Xinghuan lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

"So that's what I want to say." The teacher shook his head, "The so-called people have their limits. They may have performed outstandingly at the beginning of a certain industry, but they don't know that is their limit. I mean... they can do better in a certain section or aspect of a certain industry than anyone else, but that's all, and I am the same."

"Wait." Xinghuan seemed to realize something as he listened to what the teacher said, "Teacher, it took you six years to get into the Great Magister, and you passed the Great Magister at the age of twenty-six, so..."

"Yes." The teacher nodded, "From the age of twenty-seven to sixty-nine, I have been taking the magician exam for forty-two years. Now you understand what the so-called limit means."

Xinghuan nodded in a daze.

"But... you eventually surpassed the limit, didn't you?" Although he was stunned, he still tried to give his master some encouragement.

"What's the price?" the teacher smiled and shook his head. "It took me forty-two years, but I only did something that others could do in a few years. I was wondering, if I spent these forty-two years learning something else, would I gain more?"

"Starring, it is certainly a good thing to go beyond the limit, but you have to be clear that people often care about only the result rather than the process. They cheer for you because you did it, not because you spent forty-two years doing something you think you are extremely stupid." The teacher said earnestly, "Do you still remember what I said at the beginning? My life is limited, but my knowledge is limited. With the limit, it is almost gone!"

"The original author of this sentence is not me, it was said by an ancient philosopher, but I like this sentence very much because it means my personal experiences just now." The teacher sighed, "Humans are not like elves. Our life is very short. Don't waste our time on some stupid persistence. This is what I want to say to you."

"but……"

Xinghuan looked at the wrinkled master in front of him, and finally said what he wanted to say.

"Teacher, you are such a person."

"Haha." The teacher smiled.

"So I can stand here as your teacher. Otherwise, I would have been upgraded to the Four Great Magicians' Chairs. How could I lower the order to take you, a little kid?"

...

This is why Star Rings practice swordsmanship.

Because he still keeps the teacher's words in his heart, he serves as a yardstick to remind himself at all times.

Xinghuan summarizes his own learning behavior, called dabbling.

That is, learn a little about everything, and it will not only be just a project.

In fact, this is what his teacher once wanted to do.

However, his teacher unfortunately died of illness while preparing for his eleventh Grand Magister Exam.

Therefore, when Xinghuan was wandering around as a scholar traveler, he was actually fulfilling his teacher's will.

"When thinking about it now, I really should thank my teacher."

Xinghuan looked at the two mecha girls in front of him, shook his head, and then extinguished the flame magic sword in his hand.

After being forbidden by the demon, this invincible sword belonging to the magical creation will naturally no longer be used.

but.

"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't know how many times I've fallen down on the journey of life." Xinghuan reached into his cloak and pulled out a big sword from it.

"Although many of the old man's words were stained with sour and rotten spirits, and they were very literary." Xinghuan reached out his other hand into the cloak and drew out a broad sword.

"But, there is a sentence he said that I have been remembering until today, although the original author of this sentence was not him."

Looking at Number One and Number Two in front of him, Xinghuan crossed the two swords in his hand in front of him.
