Every time teacher Marvin was teaching in class, Leo could easily understand everything about the lesson.

However, teacher Marvin has never taught any of them before some Magic spells, but instead only the things related to Mana, Mages, and some other related topics. Although he had also taught them about Magic, it wasn\'t about Magic spells but other things, like the unique properties of each Elements and many things similar to that.

Teacher Marvin had taught them that Mana is the most important thing in Celestial World, just like what his Master Olivia had said to him before. He, of course, naturally understands that.

Magic was the result of using the Mana if he shortens every explanation down into one phrase. Obviously, that is also easy to understand.

Mages are the people that can control Mana and can cast magic spells. That is again also something he can easily comprehend.

Teacher Marvin also taught them the different cultivation levels, specifically the Star, Galaxy, Constellation, Domain, and Realm level. There were also a few more others, but he just didn\'t mention it, saying that it is almost impossible for them to achieve such a level in cultivation. He, of course, easily understands all of that, too.

However, that still doesn\'t help him cast an Assault Magic spell. So, he could only say that Mage Academies don\'t plan on teaching their students any Magic spells, but instead let them learn the Magic spells by themselves first through the help of their respective libraries and the teachers would then just provide assistance after the students have chosen a Magic spell. In such a way, it\'s the students that had to choose the Magic spell, and not them, hence it\'s the students that decided that this kind of Magic spell is perfectly suited for them. And what they would then do next is just give their students a platform to improve their chosen Magic spells.

At first, he doesn\'t know why since Mage Academies\' purpose was to do such a thing, right? However, he then finally understood when his Master Olivia had said that the Mage Academies only teach their students the General idea of the topics related to Mana and Magic.

To sum up everything, it is his responsibility to learn Magic spells.

He was able to easily understand the Support Magic spells. Unfortunately, the moment he starts studying about the Assault Magic spells, he wasn\'t able to achieve anything aside from forming items made out of Fire Element, Water Element, Wood Element, Earth Element, and so on.

He seriously can\'t cast any of those distinct Assault Magic spells. It wasn\'t like he didn\'t try learning them, too. In fact, he had read a few books every time teacher Marvin was discussing or from time to time during his missions like when he was doing the escorting mission of Veronica.

Unfortunately, it is still too difficult for him. And up until now, the only Assault Magic spell he knew is Fireball spell. He learned that at the time when his Master Olivia went to teach him back in the villa. But sadly though, the Fireball spell was actually something that Mages doesn\'t really consider as an Assault Magic spell, saying that Fireball spell is just made by concentrating a Fire Element Mana in a circle. To be honest, he doesn\'t even know why a Fireball spell explodes the moment it touches something or someone, the moment he threw the Magic spell towards any of it.

Seriously, it is really hard for him to learn the Assault Magic spells. And now, in order to do a Magic Integration, he needs to actually deeply understand a certain Magic spell.

Leo can\'t help but thought, "How the f*ck would I even learn that?"

Even after Chief Lago explained how his Green Terrain spell works, he still doesn\'t understand why and how did the Nature Element Mana even helps the plants grow.

Like for example, if he just simply gathers a Nature Element Mana, then threw it towards an empty patch of land, would it then help the plants hidden anywhere in that empty patch of the land grow? Obviously, not! Instead, the Nature Element Mana he had gathered would turn into a Nature Ball, causing destruction in the empty patch of land instead of helping the plants grow.

Instead of debating with himself, Leo finally decided to ask a question, "How does the Nature Element Mana you have gathered helped the plants grow?"

"You actually don\'t know about that?" Chief Lago dubiously replied.

"I don\'t..." Leo replied while feeling embarrassed. He has already stayed in the Silver Mage Academy for a month now, and yet he still doesn\'t know a thing about that. It\'s not because he is stupid, he just doesn\'t know how it works. Moreover, they only have 2 days\' worth of lessons every single week while the rest of the days would be focused on completing missions. So where could he even get extra time to learn that?

"Every Elements have something unique than the others. Like in the case of the Nature Element, what do you think can the Nature Element create?" Chief Lago asked.

Hearing Lago\'s question, Leo was quickly able to reply, "Nature Element can create anything wood related and plant-related."

"Exactly! And then the next question that comes into your mind is how do you create wood or plants using the Nature Element Mana, right?" Chief Lago smiled.

"Yes!" Leo can\'t help feeling excited inside.

"Actually, you don\'t! Since you are not the one that creates it." Chief Lago replied, "Every Magic spells have an incantation, you just need to say the incantation, and the Magic spell will follow. Think of it this way, the incantation is your order and the different Element Mana are your soldiers. The moment you send an order, it is then up to the Mana to execute it."

Chief Lago then motioned for Leo to follow after his instructions, "First you gather Pure Mana in your hands, then convert the Pure Mana to Nature Element Mana."

Leo quickly did the same as he put his hand up in front and gathered Pure Mana and afterward converted it to Nature\'s Element Mana.

"Chant, I call upon the Nature Element, hear my call, grant this land your greens, Green Terrain!"

Leo nodded his head and just repeated the words Chief Lago had said, "I call upon the Nature Element, hear my call, grant this land your greens, Green Terrain!"

However, right after Leo chanted the Magic spell, the empty patch of land didn\'t change, at all.

"Look, nothing happened!"

"Hahahaha, it is simply because you don\'t have enough Mana Capacity for that Magic spell to achieve the same result or effect as mine. But come here..." Chief Lago motioned for Leo to follow, which he also quickly did, "You see this little sprout here, that is actually your own doing. You just didn\'t notice it, since it is very tiny."

"Are you really sure?" Leo dubiously asked, "Maybe that sprout was already there before or something."

"Okay, if you still don\'t believe me, then let me clear out this land for you." Chief Lago said as he casted a Magic spell, "Decay!"

*Whoooosh!

Every plant in the small patch of land started decaying before turning into mere dust.

"Now, you try casting the Magic spell in here. I\'ve already cleared out any plants or any form of nature in this place, so you can try the Green Terrain spell here and see the result clearly." Chief Lago said.

"But didn\'t you just said a while ago that it needs some plants to do that?" Leo dubiously replied.

"Green Terrain spell is a plant creating Magic spell, so you will only need to cast the Magic spell twice. One for creating a plant and the second is to grow the plant." Chief Lago explained.

Leo just nodded his head as he repeated what Chief Lago had instructed, "I call upon the Nature Element, hear my call, grant this land your greens, Green Terrain!"

"Then again!"

"I call upon the Nature Element, hear my call, grant this land your greens, Green Terrain!"

"Now, look at that little sprout in the middle."

Leo carefully looked at the middle of the empty patch of land as he then noticed a really small plant that grew.

"I..."

"Every Magic spell needed enough Mana in order for it to completely work. Though we can cast any magic spells, but we both won\'t achieve the same result, since we have different Mana Capacity. Moreover, we also differ in training. I\'ve trained this Magic spell for countless of times already, while you on the other hand had only tried this Magic spell for the first time. So, it is expected that you will only achieve a result such as this."

Hearing Chief Lago\'s words, Leo quickly remembered the time when teacher Marvin taught them to cast a Wind Knife. And the result was, everyone had varying forms of their Wind Knife, specifically some were small, tall, and many more. He had really forgotten that time.

"Your exact problem right now is that you still lack training. You need to repeat the same Magic spell over and over again in order for your Magic Power to improve, for you to become familiar with the Magic spell, and finally for you to deeply understand the Magic spell. You also need to consume some Magical resources in order to improve your Mana Capacity." Chief Lago continued, "Train first, and when you can finally achieve some noticeable result, then come find me again and I will teach you more."

Leo was immediately delighted after hearing Lago\'s words. He really sucks at reading Magic related books, it\'s so complicated and confusing, really different from those books that he had read before about different subjects like Business Management, or reading Weapon Techniques. Those things were really simple.

"Ayst, Magic is really hard..." Leo exclaimed in his mind, "I\'m definitely very inexperienced when it comes to Magic."

Although he was able to easily understand Support Magic spells, it was only because it is so easy to understand. He just needs to control the Mana to push, pull, and such in order to achieve the result described in the books. In the case of Assault Magic spells though, he can\'t help but feel really clueless about it.

He really didn\'t expect that the Assault Magic spells can only be achieved by just simply chanting the incantation of the Magic spell and training the Magic spell over and over again to achieve a deep understanding of the Magic spell.

Also, he finally understood what deeply understanding the Magic spell meant about. It doesn\'t really mean he needed to understand how the Magic spell works, it actually simply meant that he needs to repeatedly train the Magic spell, since by repeatedly training he can slowly understand the Magic spell and at the same time also become familiar with the Magic spell. Simply put, the Magic spell is really similar to when he was using weapons.. He just needs to train and train in order to deeply understand how to use the weapon, which in his case right now the Magic spell.
