A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 763

Chapter 763: Chapter 547: Joining_3 Chapter 763: Chapter 547: Joining_3 Ann… Well, even though she is a princess, she comes off as a wild child in front of Duanmu Huai.

On the other hand, Audrey almost became a duchess. She's somewhat similar to Miss Mary in terms of her noble status, but for some reason, Duanmu Huai feels Audrey is not as well-mannered as Mary.

“Ah, yes. For instance, matters like door etiquette, dressing up when going out, and the behavior at social gatherings. There are very strict rules for these. I was brought up with similar education since childhood…”

“I never noticed.”

“It's probably because you seldom attend banquets. Even if you do, people don't really care much about your manners…”

After all, with his strong abilities, no noble with a brain would care to criticize the etiquette of a dragon slayer who can single-handedly kill a giant dragon. Not to mention, Duanmu Huai doesn't come off as a patient man. If he gets upset and slaps you, you had it coming.

“Nobles sure are troublesome.”

“Hahaha… Etiquette is extremely important for most nobles. But for you and the princess, it doesn't matter as much…”

True, with Ann being the most powerful magic princess in Manaria, no one dares to critique her behavior. When it comes down to it, it's all about power.

Speaking of which, these days Ann has been staying in the Duel City of the different reality to help Greiya build the Dragonkin Kingdom, and she seems quite content and doesn't want to return.

Is that really alright?

Well, for now, there's nothing urgent here that needs her help.

Just as Duanmu Huai and Audrey were chatting, there was a knock on the door. A servant came in leading a bewildered Miss Mary, who looked as if she had been brainwashed.

“…What happened?”

“This was Miss Mary's reaction after reading it.”

“…I can understand, but feels a bit exaggerated.”

Seeing the hypnotized and blank expression on Mary's face, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh. Honestly, people from the modern world tend to be less accepting of such things. Look at Ann, Greiya, and Lorena. They accept it readily, as they've seen all sorts of strange things in the Magic World and are even more advanced in some space theories than the normal scientific world…

At this thought, Duanmu Huai clapped his hands.

“Clap clap clap.”

“Huh?”

Just now, Mary seemed to have come back to her senses, her eyes widened in surprise – huh, that's much better than her previous brainwashed and absent-minded look.

“Back to your senses?”

“Ah, yes, that… I apologize for my rudeness, is… is all of this… true?”

“It's normal to doubt, but it is true. If you still cannot believe it, I can take you to the Star Union for a visit.”

“No no no no! No need!”

Mary frantically waved her hands, her face stiffening.

“This, this… I don't know what to say. But is a person like me really useful? I mean… uh, sorry, I don't know how to put this, but I don't think I can do well…”

However, before Mary finished speaking, Duanmu Huai interrupted her.

“No need to go on. I invited you partly because the Tribunal is understaffed, and there's a need for your abilities. Perhaps you believe your power isn't anything special, but that's only because you haven't used it properly. In fact, your abilities are quite useful to the Tribunal.”

That's no lie. Mary's trouble is that her Golden Pupil power is so strong that she doesn't realize how strong it is.

It's like possessing an Anti-Magic Field that renders all magic ineffective within one's line of sight. So she thinks there's no magic in this world. She wouldn't think she possesses a powerful ability.

While this is an exaggeration, the Golden Pupil does have a similar power.

“Is…that so? But I feel…”

“Of course, you're not ready yet as you are now. You'll need training.”

“Right…”

At this point, Mary seemed to relax a bit. Seeing her reaction, Duanmu Huai could roughly guess that before coming here, Mary might have thought the Tribunal was a mysterious organization like the Men in Black. She didn't expect it to be a giant chain business spanning across star clusters. To her, this concept might be a bit too much to grasp.

“Um, exactly what kind of training should I do?”

“Hmm…………”

Upon hearing Mary's question, Duanmu Huai pondered for a moment.

“Training in firearms and hand-to-hand combat are necessary, and you may also need to learn some magic…”

“Magic?!”

Upon hearing this, Mary's eyes instantly lit up.

“Is, is there really such a thing as magic?!”

“Uh…… Of course there is, but there's no need for you to be so excited. To be honest, using magic in your world is quite dangerous.”

Looking at the overly excited Mary, Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised, but not too startled.

Well… Girls do love such fantastical things.

“Can I also learn magic?”

“It depends, but it should be possible.”

Seeing Mary in such an overjoyed state, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but roll his eyes, although he could understand how she felt.

However… practicing magic was not as simple as Mary imagined.

“Simply put, practical combat training is the most important thing.”

In Duanmu Huai's faction, there were only a few people responsible for teaching magic. Ann was out due to her genius, as even most students at Manaria College couldn't understand what she was talking about, let alone teach magic to Mary who knew nothing about it.

Although Zhi Jingxiang was an excellent magician, she claimed that she was far from proficient, and she wasn't good at teaching.

So that left only… Lani.

Well, she was the Moon Princess after all, and the creator of Dark Moon Magic, so Duanmu Huai brought Mary to her.

Lani gave Mary a once-over and then gave her answer.

“Practical combat?”

“That's right, learning Dark Moon Magic is not difficult. It's easy to learn, but practical training is essential.”

“When you put it like that… Is it really that simple?”

“If you just want to learn how to use magic, it's quite simple.”

As she spoke, Lani reached out and placed a scroll in front of Duanmu Huai and Mary.

“As long as you use this scroll, you can learn how to use magic.”

“If it's so simple to learn, what do magic schools teach?”

Duanmu Huai hadn't forgotten about his brief stint at Leila Lucalia Magic Academy.

“Of course, they teach the basic knowledge of constructing magic. After all, a magician is not just someone who knows how to use magic, but also needs to learn the basics of magic, analysis, and research. What one gets from others is just rigid spells and knowledge. Even if they tell you how to use a particular spell, you won't know how to use other spells.”

“That makes sense.”

It's just like how a driver doesn't need to learn how to manufacture a car. It doesn't take much time to get a driver's license, but to learn how to build a car from scratch, that's a different matter.

Actually, Duanmu Huai himself could also use magic, he used magic cards directly. Although he had spent some time studying at Manaria Magic Academy, what he learned was only how to use magic. He didn't have the ability like Ann to create his own magic.

“So, I'll leave it to you?”

“Sure, leave it to me.”

At this point, Duanmu Huai had no idea what would happen in the end.
