Ailundun pondered as he gestured, clicking on the expansion option for the instructions.
He understood it very quickly.
Simulation is about mimicking battles against opponents, with a comprehensive analysis to determine the win rate.
Training is used in conjunction with simulation, allowing the user to select any recorded object for a challenge.
Multiple challenges can be conducted within a single day, categorized into difficulty levels: Human-Machine, Difficult, Self, System Takeover, and Abandon Humanity.
WTF,
It even understands internet slang.
Just perfect, I will see the gap between myself and Ailande tomorrow.
The twilight gradually faded, revealing a gray corner of the sky, and the noises of the streets on both sides dissipated with it.
Gentle moonlight fell on the stone steps on both sides, as if whispering the tranquility of the night, preparing to welcome the sunlight of a new day.
On the first night of arriving in this world, Ailundun slept very peacefully.
He did not wake up from his groggy state until he heard the maid knocking on the door.
“Young Master, Miss Ailande is already waiting in the central hall. Would you like me to arrange for her to go to the lounge and wait until you are awake?”
Milan’s gentle voice drifted in.
It calmed the irritable mood Ailundun felt from being woken up.
“No need, I asked her to come. Tell her to wait for me a little while; I will be there immediately.”
“Very well.”
Ailundun washed up briefly and tidied his yellow hair.
He put on the Capable Glasses he had prepared yesterday in advance.
Then he opened the door.
Seeing Ailundun walk out wearing a pair of strange glasses.
The maid, Milan, was slightly stunned, covering her small mouth as she spoke:
“Young Master?”
“Don’t ask. It’s a noble’s hobby.”
Ailundun interrupted with effortless composure.
“U-Understood.”
Milan nodded obediently, bowing slightly to indicate she understood.
Hearing this response, Ailundun nodded in satisfaction.
No matter the time, the maid of the Ke Lan De family always prioritized the interests of her young master.
She knew not to ask about things she shouldn’t.
There was no such thing as deceiving the master as one often saw in novels.
This point made him feel very comfortable.
His mood for the entire day improved considerably.
—
Arriving at the hall.
Ailande was still wearing that gray robe; her sapphire-blue pupils remained charming, and her grace was as striking as ever.
But perhaps it was just his imagination; Ailundun felt that Miss Ailande looked a bit tired today.
Ailundun thought for a moment and had the maid, Milan, prepare some black tea to be used for the afternoon’s studies.
This was natural; in order to teach this dandy young master.
She hadn’t slept at all last night, spending the entire night studying.
She had injected quite a bit of spirit-boosting stimulant into the air and continuously used magic to forcibly recover her spirits.
The side effect of this magic was that it would force all the fatigue she had suppressed the previous day onto the next day, which was the reason she looked so tired now.
It was only then that she grasped the basic knowledge of Magic Engineering.
She stayed up all night summarizing and creating this book, “Great Explanation of Basic Magic Engineering Knowledge.”
As for the other book, she had just randomly scrounged it up from elsewhere.
In any case, this idiot young master would surely get stuck on the basics for a long time.
She held her chin, looking at the “Great Explanation of Basic Magic Engineering Knowledge” and “Common Magic Tool Structures” in front of her.
She pondered which aspect she should start explaining from.
She hadn’t included the possibility that Ailundun might possess some basic common sense.
After all, even she wouldn’t have the spare time to study Magic Engineering.
The status of Magic Engineering in this world was not as high as that of a magician; it was considered a last resort for those who couldn’t become magicians.
In fact… she was right.
So much so that it wasn’t until Ailundun sat down beside her that she noticed something special about him today.
“What is the meaning of these glasses?”
“You know, those geniuses in Magic Engineering need to read a lot of ancient books frequently, so wearing a pair of glasses has almost become a standard configuration.”
Ailundun said shamelessly.
“?”
Forget it, she was almost getting used to it.
“Since there are no problems, let’s begin.”
“The introduction to basic Magic Engineering knowledge is not difficult, it just requires a lot of memorization and recitation; the truly difficult parts are the later deconstruction and application sections, so I recommend you start with the first book.”
Ailande reminded him.
“Honestly, I am quite confident in my memory; there is no need to explain this part in such detail. You can just skip through it.”
Ailundun said from the side, and after thinking about it, he added:
“If you don’t believe me, you can let me read it once, and then you can spot-check me afterward.”
Hearing such ignorant and reckless words.
Ailande was slightly startled, and then she smiled.
Even she wouldn’t dare say she could remember it all after one read, and it had taken her an entire night to learn.
A mere Ailundun… he was truly arrogant.
She didn’t intend to go easy on him just because of the Gold Coins and decided to teach this dandy a lesson.
A mocking smile appeared on her petite face as her fists tightened slightly.
“Since Young Master Ailundun is so confident, then no problem. Please proceed.”
Ailundun spread his hands:
“Then I am going to start reading, please don’t disturb me.”
He flipped through the “Great Explanation of Basic Magic Engineering Knowledge” while savoring the black tea served by the maid.
He kept whispering in his heart:
‘Capable Glasses, start recording.’
Ailande also took a light sip of the black tea, wanting to close her eyes and rest for a while.
Once this idiot young master discovered that he wasn’t any kind of genius, she would then go back and pretend to comfort him to win his favor.
The effect would definitely be very significant.
By then, she could naturally bring up a raise in her salary.
She was thinking so beautifully, but less than 10 seconds later, she heard the “click” and “swish” sounds of pages turning.
She was a bit puzzled and looked toward the source of the sound.
She saw Ailundun, who had already started flipping pages.
Suddenly, she was so amused she was almost angry.
This idiot young master, surely he wasn’t delusional enough to think he could memorize everything just by glancing at the content on the first page, right?
But since she was here as a teacher, she didn’t say any words of reprimand.
She just watched his performance quietly.
Then, she closed her eyes to rest again.
—
Time passed quietly just like that.
Ailande didn’t know when she had fallen asleep.
She only felt that this nap was exceptionally sweet.
It was more peaceful than when she was wandering anywhere else in the Empire of Wen’erdun.
So much so that she had the illusion in her dream that she had returned home…
No, it was even more peaceful than that home.
‘Was it that cup of black tea? When?’
It wasn’t until Ailande woke up that she realized where the problem lay, sitting there in a daze.
She remained silent for a moment, slowly opening her complex eyes, her sapphire-blue pupils looking toward the direction from which the sound of flipping pages came.
His smooth blond hair and jewel-like blue eyes complemented his temperament perfectly.
The youth was leaning on the sofa, legs crossed, supporting his face, posing in a very comfortable position while still staring at that copy of the “Great Explanation of Basic Magic Engineering Knowledge.”
Ailundun didn’t seem to realize anything.
He was still flipping through the book to himself, and every now and then, he even yawned.
This was a very subtle detail.
Ailande realized the problem instantly and stayed silent again for a while.
The other party knew it was black tea with sleep-inducing effects.
Did he go as far as to drink it himself just to let her sleep…?
Why on earth… was that?
“Are you awake, Miss Ailande?”
Ailundun put down the book in his hand, looked at Ailande who was also looking at him, and waved with a smile.
“I have learned just about everything. In fact, this is already my second round of review.”
“Mm.”
Her hair slid across her shoulders, quietly falling onto her gray robe, and her eyes returned to their indifferent appearance.
Less than two seconds later, her composure instantly shattered, and her pupils widened again.
“?”
A second round of review?
“Now, please conduct a spot check. To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that this book was summarized so well, I don’t know if I could have memorized it just by reading it once. Well, maybe I would need to read it one more time.”
Ailande:
“…”
Ailundun smiled and handed over the “Great Explanation of Basic Magic Engineering Knowledge” in his hand.
His sincere appearance didn’t look like he was lying, which made Ailande look at him sideways again.
Regarding Ailundun, she couldn’t quite tell if he had actually learned it or if he was toying with her.
She decided that practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.
Taking the “Great Explanation of Basic Magic Engineering Knowledge,” she didn’t flip through it; this was a book she had created overnight, so she naturally knew the content inside by heart.
After considering it, she decided to throw out the simplest common sense that any student of Magic Engineering would know.
If Ailundun couldn’t answer even this, then the truth of his claims would be beyond doubt.
“What are the most basic rules and prohibitions of Magic Engineering?”
“Do not use any human body or life as Magic Engineering material; do not…”
Ailundun replied slowly.
Ailande was slightly surprised.
She didn’t need to look to know that without exception, everything Ailundun said was the exact content of the book.
However, this didn’t prove anything.
What followed was the important part.
She decisively opened the book and chose a topic from one of the pages.
“Please give an example to prove the advantages and disadvantages of light-duty Magic Engineering, and explain the main structural composition and production purpose of such Magic Engineering tools.”
“This question is a little long, so I’ll write it down.”
Ailundun smiled slightly and gestured for the maid to bring him the ink and pen for writing.
Thinking in his heart, he slowly wrote out the answer using his prepared engraving pen.
Ailande watched Ailundun, who was fully focused and didn’t have any hesitation in the middle.
She didn’t find any signs of cheating.
Very quickly, Ailundun wrote out a page full of answers and handed them to Ailande.
Ailande frowned her pretty eyebrows.
It wasn’t because there were flaws in Ailundun’s answer.
On the contrary, Ailundun was absolutely correct, and it was an impeccably rigorous answer that didn’t miss a single word and utilized multiple methods of explanation.
She was unwilling to give up and tested him on several more.
Correct.
Correct.
Correct.
“…”
Finally, after several failures, Ailande became suspicious of Ailundun’s glasses.
Ailundun sensibly and proactively handed over the glasses.
She first examined them several times with her naked eye; there were no problems.
Then, while Ailundun wasn’t looking, she secretly used identification magic on them several times, but she never found any clues.
Even when she put them on, they were still nothing more than a very ordinary pair of glasses.
At last, she finally reached a very terrifying conclusion.
“…”
