Big Fat Raccoon Cat is Very Worried About You, Offers to Help You Become Stronger-Chapter 318: Magic is not easy to learn
Chapter 318: Magic is not easy to learn
“Well, the students all love cats, so it’s normal for them to come over and check on them when it snows,” the Guidance Director said with a smile, his eyes filled with warmth.
The fact that they were willing to brave the heavy snow to see the cats proved that they genuinely cared for them.
“Is that so? It seems like my trip here was unnecessary then,” Matthew said.
“Mr. Matthew, you’re overthinking it. That’s not the case at all,” Wenwen replied with a smile. “What if the snow was so heavy today that everyone was unable to come out? Then your actions would have saved these kittens.”
“Yes, Wenwen is right,” the Guidance Director said with a smile. Just then, Liu Weiqiu and the others approached, covered in a layer of snow, looking like two large snowmen.
“Teacher, you’re here too,” Liu Weiqiu said, looking at the Guidance Director and his group.
“Yes, we were worried because the snow was falling so heavily, so we came to check. But we arrived a bit late. Mr. Matthew has already laid out blankets for the kittens,” the Guidance Director explained, gesturing towards the male cultivator. “This is Mr. Matthew, a scholar from the vast rainforest world who loves nature and has a deep understanding of forests.”
“Hello, Mr. Matthew!” Liu Weiqiu and the others immediately greeted Matthew.
“Hello, everyone!” Matthew responded with a smile and a nod. “Since everyone is here, why don’t you go inside and see the kittens? I’ll be heading back now.”
He had finished what he came to do and didn’t want to stay any longer. It was better to go back and sleep early. Snowy days were a great test for every forest elf.
“Alright, Mr. Matthew,” Liu Weiqiu and the others replied. Matthew then walked towards the direction he came from.
“Mr. Matthew, wait for me!” Wenwen immediately followed after seeing him leave.
This man was a genuine magician! If she could learn a trick or two from him, she wouldn’t have to practice martial arts so hard every day.
Of course, the most important thing was that being both a martial artist and a magic user was the most powerful combination. Practicing martial arts only covered close combat; she needed to have long-range abilities as well.
“What’s wrong? Is there something you need, Miss Wenwen?” Matthew slowed down and asked upon hearing her voice.
“Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if you accept apprentices, Mr. Matthew. I want to become a magician,” Wenwen said with a smile.
“You want to become a magician? But aren’t you already practicing martial arts? You might not be able to handle both practicing martial arts and being a magic apprentice,” Matthew replied, looking at Wenwen.
He had seen her practice martial arts. It couldn’t be said that she was very good, only that she barely reached the passing line. Now she wanted to learn magic too? Would she be able to learn it?
“I can handle it, I can handle it. I can always squeeze in some time,” Wenwen said with a smile. “Mr. Matthew, please accept me as your apprentice. I promise I will study magic diligently and won’t disappoint you.”
The image of a magical girl was right in front of her, beckoning. She had to seize this hard-won opportunity no matter what.
“I’m not worried about you disappointing me. The main thing is that learning magic is not a simple matter. I’m afraid you won’t have the patience to learn it,” Matthew said, taking out a book from his spatial backpack that was thicker than a Xinhua Dictionary and handing it to Wenwen. “If you really want to learn magic, first memorize all this magical knowledge. Additionally, you also need to familiarize yourself with the materials needed for crafting magic.”
As he spoke, Matthew took out another thick book and handed it to Wenwen.
“Ah? This much?” 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
After receiving the first book, Wenwen felt as if her arms were filled with lead. After receiving the second book, she almost tripped and fell flat on her face.
“Yes, and this is just the basics. There are many more things to learn if you want to become a magician,” Matthew nodded. “If you haven’t made up your mind, it’s best not to go down this path. It’s not as easy as you think.”
“Then… then I’ll go back and think about it,” Wenwen said, her heart starting to beat a retreat.
Practicing martial arts was tiring, but at least she didn’t have to learn so much. Looking at the stack of books that were almost a meter tall, she knew how much content she would have to memorize.
“Well, go back and think about it slowly. Take these two books with you and have a look. Besides talent, the most important thing for learning magic is the ability to absorb the knowledge,” Matthew said, and walked towards the villa.
After hearing this, Wenwen followed with the heavy books in her arms. The more she walked, the more she felt that magic was not something humans could learn.

“This snow is really heavy, covering the entire world,” Li Li said, looking out the window at the silver-white world.
“Yes, and it’s not just a light covering either,” Liu Yun said as she entered the living room. “The roads outside are completely filled with snow. Walking in the complex now is like stepping into one pit after another.”
“Really? So, did you just come back from outside, Big Sister?” Li Li asked. Was the snow outside that heavy? Should he go back? He felt like going back now would be quite troublesome.
“Of course not, I saw it in the homeowner group,” Liu Yun replied with a chuckle and a shake of her head. She then handed Li Li a chew stick. “You little guy woke up so early, are you hungry? Here, have something to eat and fill your tummy.”
“Okay,” Li Li said, accepting the chew stick and starting to gnaw on it. He then asked curiously, “Aren’t you going to have breakfast, Big Sister? Why don’t I smell any food?”
Logically, she should have eaten since she woke up so early, but he didn’t smell any food in the air.
“The water pipes in the complex have frozen and burst. What am I supposed to cook with?” Liu Yun said with a smile, patting Li Li’s head. “Should I use the water from the toilet tank?”
“Uh, is the snow that bad? It even burst the water pipes.” Li Li was surprised. Was the weather that extreme now? It never snowed at this time in previous years. Even if it did snow, it was never this severe.
Was the old man in the sky having a bad day?
“Yes, can’t you tell by looking outside?” Liu Yun said with a smile, gazing at the snow-covered houses outside. “Snow this heavy hasn’t been seen for over a decade. With this sudden snowfall, the entire city will probably be in chaos.”
She had only seen such a scene over ten years ago. She never thought there would be such heavy snow again, but it had come today.
