Journey In A Fantasy World
Rehearses

Seeing Neo being so diligent in training, I felt envious. But I already feel like this is the peak of my achievement today. I have made hurricanes many times in this room, made all the items scattered on the floor, then Piu Piu tidied it up for me.

Rui did not dare to make fireballs, she said meditating was the best practice to improve magic. He meditated very seriously, the moment I touched his skin, Rui was already like a fireball itself.

Neo warns me not to disturb Rui's meditation, he says if Rui wakes up due to an outside disturbance, all the training process will be in vain.

He was lying on the bed, feeling tired.

"I think training all day won't be exhausting. But it turned out to be more tiring than having to exercise two hours every day," Neo chugged the water in a bottle, "How much longer do you think the portal will appear?" Neo asked me. I shrugged my shoulders.

Looks like I should start the same training method as Rui. It was like it was very useful to increase my magic energy. Piu Piu is tired of tidying up the room, I should have more compassion on him.

"Has the color of your card changed Neo?" I asked before I started meditating.

Neo shrugged his shoulders. Neo has developed a lot, previously Pru can only turn into an ice sword, now Neo has been able to change it into anything. Being a bow, or being a spear, all depends on Neo's mood.

I'm still confused as to what basic elements Neo has. He can't control the wind like me, let alone take out a fireball like Rui. Then is his skill to freeze?

"Neo, what power do you have?" I asked curious. I have always been curious.

"Let's know, I don't have any special powers. Just learning what Master Hudie taught me," Neo exhaled a bored breath.

"What has he taught you?"

Neo looked at me, "Much. Turning a stick into a weapon, for example. Or turn any energy into ice. Make arrows out of any energy. And everything," Neo smiled a little.

"Maybe your basic strength is water?" I asked again.

Neo shook his head, "I don't have basic strength, Jian. Just use what's around me to be a weapon. Since Dixia Academy is near the lake, I can use the water in the lake to make weapons."

I was silent, closing my eyes. I shouldn't really care about Neo's basic strength, it just makes me run out of the rest of my training time.

I started my meditation technique. You better not make me talk in a while.

...----------------...

The afternoon finally arrived. I took a deep breath, squirming, it felt exhausting. Yes, meditating is more tiring than having to practice for real.

I had to endure sitting for hours while maintaining my concentration. When I woke up, I felt my whole body really hurt like it had just been fighting for real.

While meditating, I felt myself in a completely different realm to the one I was occupying right now. I trained my magic energy in that realm, training as if someone was threatening my life and I fought it with all my might.

But I really felt my body was very strong after meditating. I checked my card and it was silver!

It seems like the spiritual energy that Bim is giving is really very useful to speed up the practice process.

I turned towards Rui, she was reading a book, it seemed like she had stopped practicing a few hours earlier than me.

"Has the color of your card changed, Rui?" I asked pleasantries.

Rui nodded, "My card is already a Silver Card, Jian. It seems like I can control even bigger flames. I feel like my body can also absorb fire and make it a new energy" Rui smiled happily.

"You're so great, Rui," I smiled.

"How about we do some practice-games?" Neo chuckled, he stood leaning against the wall while folding both his arms in front of his chest.

"We have to plan something first, Neo," I stopped the two.

"What plan?"

"Plan how to get Ruu to confess her crime" I replied.

Rui and Neo stared at each other. I don't know what they're thinking, I can just sit around waiting for them to make a decision.

"How about we use an illusion spell?" Rui put forward an idea.

"Illusory spell?"

Rui nodded, "If you can manipulate one's eyesight, Neo can do it in a higher level," Rui grinned widely.

Neo nodded his head in agreement, "I've understood the intent of your plan, Rui. But if this is the case, we'll have to change Win's plan in the first place" Neo approaches us, and pulls out his little notebook.

"What do you want to do, Neo?" i glare. My premonition suddenly worsened as soon as Neo took out the booklet.

"I'm going to draw something, Jian. Look at this," Neo actually drew something on top of his notebook.

He drew an hourglass. And try to make it as similar as possible to the hourglass that Rux stole.

Neo points his index finger at the booklet, the hourglass he painstakingly drew with such a poor look that it finally arises, and transforms into a lost Dixia Academy heirloom.

Waw.

I round my eyes. Whatisit?

"This is a magic pen, Jian. Master Hudie gave it to me, if you draw using this pen, and then pour an illusion spell in it, it will become real and turn into anything you think of. But we should've seen that thing before it started making duplicates" Neo explained.

"How can you make a copy that's really similar?" Rui could not blink her eyes anymore.

"It's just an illusionary science, Rui. Actually he's just a piece of paper that I cast an illusion spell on, then everyone who sees him will see him as an heirloom." Neo chuckles amusedly.

I blinked my eyes. My admiration suddenly disappeared.

"When the portal appears, instead of searching for Rux, we should immediately search for the existence of the Door Guards. Then they told everyone to announce that the heirloom had been found. Let everyone see this piece of paper as the heirloom found it. Then Win must explain that the actual heirloom was not stolen, but the stolen one was a fake," Neo smiled cunningly.

"What if someone asks Win to check it out?" i asked.

Neo waved, "Just calm down, despite being a clone, he also mimicked all the details his original object had, including magical energy," he replied.

"How can you?" Rui interrupted.

"of course. This was just an illusion spell, no one would realize that he was actually just a piece of paper. The power they saw from this hourglass we made was only visible in their eyes," Neo put the hourglass on the table, "Rux will panic once he realizes he has been framed. He would hide and check if the hourglass he stole was really fake or not. Back then, we had to tail him and catch him wet. After that .. bum!!! Ruu will get the punishment for what she did!" Neo smiled with satisfaction.

Me and Rui fell silent. He suddenly became a genius fool!

...----------------...

We took a break after training. Neo woke us up when he saw a portal appear in the middle of the room.

"You ready?" Neo looked at the two of us in turn.
