Olivia shook her head as she said, "Mages are more powerful than you can even think about! Mana is the center of Celestial World, so those people who are capable of using or manipulating the Mana would naturally be akin to supreme beings!"

"You have seen the destruction I had done outside of the Royal Court, right?" Olivia suddenly asked. If she wasn't wrong, then Leo had cried to her a while ago because he had thought he would lose her, just like how he had lost his parents and older brother.

Leo just nodded his head in response.

"To tell you honestly, that aftermath isn't even half-close of what I'm really capable of causing! If I and that person I was fighting against didn't take into consideration the citizens around us, then we would have long destroyed the entire Silver city!"

"In fact, our battle would be so destructive that 1/8 of the Silver Kingdom back then would have been destroyed easily!"

"I'm not flaunting my power or the likes, but simply speaking the truth. And also, looking at the situation back then, almost half of the powerful people of the Silver Kingdom were in the Royal Court, hence no one could have defended some other cities of Silver Kingdom."

"Unless of course, the King of Silver Kingdom makes a move himself! But, the King of Silver Kingdom is just a small child compared to me and that person I was fighting against combined together, so will the King be able to easily stop us?"

Leo doesn't know how to reply. It was really too shocking for him. After all this time, he hadn't yet seen an actual battle between Mages as powerful as his Master Olivia. In fact, when he saw the destruction outside of the Royal Court, he had thought that it was already destructive enough. Now, he knows just how foolish his thoughts were.

Moreover, he had never known just how powerful his Master Olivia really was. He had only been taught assassination by her and was told that no one in the Silver Kingdom can easily compare in strength to her. He was still ignorant, until just a while ago, about the truth.

"So, what you wanted to teach me right now is not to underestimate the Mages?" Leo can't help but ask.

"Yes, and also no!" Olivia replied, "I'm not only going to teach you not to underestimate the Mages but to also learn more about them!"

"Isn't that what the purpose of Mage Academies all about?" Leo quickly replied. Mage Academies was established because of their main goal of teaching Mages about being a Mage, Magic, and many more related stuff. So, what's there to teach more about if he would still be able to learn all about it in the near future, "Advance learning?"

Scholars always do such a thing in order for them to triumph over their other fellow scholars. However, doing it might sound good, but it isn't really entirely that good. Just like when constructing a building, a person can't just build the second floor immediately if that person hadn't done the first floor, yet.

In other words, learning takes process, and he can't just jump in one knowledge to another. If he hasn't encountered the problem yet, then why would he look for a solution to fix it, right?

Rather than being helpful, it would be wiser to say that doing it would just be too troublesome for him.

"What they are teaching you is just the general knowledge. Simply put, they are just simply summarizing everything!" Olivia said as she flicked Leo's forehead, "It might be good since they are still teaching you everything about Mage, Magic, and other related stuff. But, it is also bad at the same time, since the students would just think of 'It will work this way!' instead of 'How did it work this way?'. Hence, the students only rely on simple things, not on the complicated stuff."

"Isn't that still correct?" Leo can't help but argue back, "If things can still work despite doing it in a simple way rather than the complicated way, wouldn't that be much better?"

"So you're saying that, rather than knowing more about the in-depth of things, its much better to just follow what the others had finished working on?" Olivia replied with a smirk, "Follow what the others had deemed right instead of learning why it was right and not wrong?"

Hearing his Master Olivia's reasoning, Leo finally understood what she really meant to say. It wasn't that she wanted him to do an 'advance learning', but instead because she wanted him to know more about Mage, Magic, and many more things related to that. Though it still sounds really troublesome...

"Why?" Leo can't help but ask. If his Master Olivia wanted him to learn this, then there should be an important reason why right?

"Look at this!" Olivia said as she put up her hand in front.

"Fireball!"

*Boom!

A scorch mark soon after appeared on the wall of the Cultivation room, though it was soon repaired due to the auto repair array installed within the Cultivation room.

"That was an ordinary fireball, but how about this!"

Putting her hand up in front again, Olivia casted a Fireball spell once again.

*Whoosh!

However, the Fireball this time didn't shoot out from her hand but had instead just formed a red ball. She holds the red ball as she presented it in front of Leo.

"This is still a Fireball spell, but other Mages likes to call this Fireball Bomb! As to why..." Olivia said as she suddenly threw the so-called Fireball Bomb to the wall of the Cultivation room.

"BOOoom!

*Whooshh!

*Ping!

The Fireball Bomb exploded, though it didn't cause any damage at all, since Olivia quickly absorbed the explosion into a space-related Magic spell.

"A Fireball spell would change into another kind of result because I had understood the depths of the Magic spell!" Olivia finally finished her explanation.

"So, you're saying that a simple Magic spell can turn into something much more powerful than the usual just because you had understood how it entirely works?" Leo asked dubiously.

"Exactly!" Olivia nodded her head, "By deeply understanding a certain Magic spell, you can make it much more useful! Or much better. You can increase its prowess!"

Leo can't help becoming shocked at his Master Olivia's explanation.

Magic is really a marvelous thing!

"Though, what I'm calling as powerful doesn't necessarily mean that sort of power where the weak Magic spell can easily triumph over other powerful Magic spells..." Olivia corrected, "What I wanted to say is that, by deeply understanding a certain Magic spell, such as a Fireball spell, you will be able to use it in all sorts of different ways, and hence you can counter some Magic spells despite only using a simple Fireball spell!"

"Oh, now I understand!" Leo exclaimed.

Simply put, the same kind of Magic spell can be used in all sorts of different ways just because he had deeply understood how the Magic spell works. Like for example, instead of making a Fireball spell shoot out, his Master Olivia had instead just made it into a so-called Fireball Bomb, which is in fact still a Fireball spell yet really useful since it can be used in any moment when he really needed it.

Imagine, if he was fighting in an arena, then he casted the Fireball spell. His opponent would naturally be able to easily defend against that Fireball spell since it was a simple kind of Magic spell. But, what if instead of a Fireball that shoots out he would turn it into a Fireball Bomb, then use the Fireball Bomb the least his opponent expects. In such a way, he could triumph over his opponent.

However, just like what his Master Olivia had said, that deeply understanding a certain Magic spell doesn't necessarily mean that it could easily triumph over other Magic spells. Simply put, by deeply understanding a certain Magic spell, it would allow him to use it in all sorts of different ways rather than literally making it powerful.

To be honest, the so-called 'he can increase its prowess' only meant that, since he can use a certain Magic spell in all sorts of different ways, he can counter some other Magic spells that usually can't be countered by that certain Magic spell he had used.

In other words, if he made a Fireball spell into a Fireball Bomb then his opponent quickly tried to cast a Water Shield spell thinking that he would shoot the Fireball spell straight towards them, however, the moment his opponent thought that it was actually not a Fireball spell hence deactivating the Water Shield spell, he would, in turn, suddenly throw out the Fireball Bomb.

"By deeply understanding a certain Magic spell, it could also be labeled as a casting technique, though it wasn't really recognized as such since understanding the depths of a certain Magic spell is just simply one of the basics in being a Mage..." Olivia suddenly explained.

Leo nodded his head as he thought, "So, my Triple Layer Casting and Clydesdale's self-made Magic spell are somewhat in the same league as understanding the depths of a Magic spell!"

"Let's continue..."

"Yes, Master!"
