Girl Hero: Revenge on Goblins!
Chapter 80 - 80 D29

Chapter 80: D29. Merlin’s Beard_2

"I understand, I will try my best!"

The Hero clenched her fists earnestly.

[The Hero will attempt to learn a Second-level Spell]

1. Flash Bomb

2. Small Fireball

3. Tree Skin Technique

4. Shield Spell

5. Secondary Sonic Bomb

6. Anchor

7. Anchor

8. Anchor: Fireball Technique♛

9. Anchor

10. Critical Success/Extreme Failure

D10=d10(8)=8

[Due to the Little Girl’s attitude, Extreme Failure, no foundations; Hero’s learning duration +3,

When the Hero’s learning duration exceeds 6 hours, can be judged as unsuitable for a Magician,

When the learning duration exceeds 8 hours, they will stay overnight in the small town]

[The Hero spent [] hours and learned Fireball Technique LV2]

D12+3=d12(12)+3=15

[Fireball Technique: Minimum consumption of 10 Magic Power, causes 2D5+5 points of Burning Damage

The most basic Elemental Magic, shaping the model of energy to use explosions and fire to destroy your enemies.

Although such a level of Fireball Technique, perhaps even a Goblin can’t be killed.

But just a few more shots will do.]

[The formula for Mage’s Magic Power is Intelligence*2*Perception/5, for Magician it’s Constitution*5*Intelligence/10]

Fifteen hours later.

The sun had already set, the Twin Moons hung in the high sky, and the Hero finally closed the book.

She learned the Spell patterns recorded in the book.

Fireball Technique, the most fundamental Attack Magic, a Receptionist of the Warlock Association could use it with just a rise of the hand.

"Um... our shift is ending soon, may I ask..."

The Receptionist Lady Mage looked slightly troubled at the Hero who had been sitting in the library area all day.

"Did you encounter any difficulties?"

"Ah, sorry, I’ll leave right now."

The immobile Hero quickly stood up.

The Little Girl had left earlier due to hunger, along with the Guards who came looking for her, leaving her alone here to struggle with the books.

She seemed to have come by in the afternoon to leave the address of the inn for herself.

"Don’t be disheartened, maybe you just haven’t found the method yet?"

Miss Mage encouraged the Hero with a smile.

"Once you find the suitable method, Magic is something everyone can learn. Go back and rest for today."

It’s not common for beginners to master Spells in one day, so Miss Mage’s attitude carried no sarcasm or scorn.

"Um... thank you."

Unfortunately, she didn’t know that the delicate girl in front of her was actually the Hero, whose parents were both Great Mages, and also...

"I... am actually a Phoenix."

A bit dazed, she walked out of the Mage Association, the Hero raised her hand.

A Brilliant fireball slowly condensed at her fingertips, like a miniature sun, blooming with Radiance under the night sky after sunset.

Many pedestrians glanced at it, but soon looked away as if accustomed to it.

People coming out from the Mage Association using Fireball Technique to light their way is quite normal.

But the Hero soon sighed, and blew out the flame on her fingertips.

The Spellcasting was successful.

But it took fifteen hours, without even eating.

Walking somewhat unsteadily along the town’s midnight streets, her shadow lengthened and shortened under the street lamps, continuously alternating.

The Gleaming Scale Serpent closely followed behind the Queen without drawing any attention, its hide turning camouflaged after dark.

It watched the Hero’s retreating back with some concern, although it did not understand why mastering Spellcasting, which could be sorted by instinct, required so much effort, it could sense the downcast mood of the Queen.

For the Hero, truly mastering her first Spell along with the mental preparation laid down by the Little Girl earlier, did not ease her mood at that moment.

"I really... lack the Talent for being a Mage," she muttered despondently.

[Hero’s sorrow (duration Great Failure +30)]

D70+30=d70(66)+30=96

Father, Mother, I’m sorry... Surely you would be better off living with Brother.

The tearless Hero looked up at the starry sky, brutally feeling for the first time in her life the chasm named ’Talent.’

She had struggled through the Vast Sea of Books and Knowledge, her brain was almost bubbling before she finally learned the Second-level Spell, that her Brother would master in just [] minutes.

[Brother’s learning time (50+ordinary fodder, 50-could nurture♛, 30-has some skill, 10-true genius)]

D60=d60(39)=39

Moreover, her Brother once told her that he wasn’t really a genius.

"How can I have such Talent?... Hehe, I don’t have such a thing, and even if I did, it’s not much."

Those Spells, a normal person might take months to master, while someone with Talent could do it in days, and the gifted in less than an hour.

True geniuses can execute them after merely looking twice.

Some even don’t need to look, born with the ability to command the Elements, Talent Professionals.

"That for me, is an unreachable realm, but you..."

However, after acknowledging his lack, Brother cast a cold glance at her.

[What difficulty did the Hero encounter while learning the Fireball Technique?]

1. Starting from scratch

2. Fire Element being too lively in Sensing

3. Always unable to concentrate

4. Conflict between Beast Spirit Magic Power and Innate Magic Power♛

5. 1

6. 2

7. 3

8. 4

9. Sensing all Elements, too difficult to extract just one(?)

10. Critical Success/Extreme Failure

D10=d10(4)=4

"Forget it, you can go. Don’t bother me anymore."

Brother didn’t finish his words, nor gave any explanation, but the Hero could hear the refusal and denial in them.

Even if she followed Father to study, or just listened from the side, it was merely a waste of their time.

So, it was better not to disturb them anymore.

Despite not having been able to refute Brother’s rebuke, the Hero continued to cling to a faint hope.
