The Excitement To Learn Magic

"How long will it take to master all the magic, Hilda?"

Hilda thought for a moment. "I started studying at the age of ten. It was very difficult because I learned just by watching. Then, I read some literature and practiced it myself. I also almost burned down my house when I was experimenting with fire magic, and luckily, my father threw a large bucket of water on my burning doll. Then, I learned magic properly when I was sixteen years old and had joined a group of magicians the late Duke Montgomery created. It means I have studied for more than sixty years because even now I'm still learning it. If you remember all kinds of equipment in the kitchen at that time, those are all my experiments."

"Whoaaaa, you are so awesome, Hilda! Can I last that long?" 

The confidence Rosie had felt earlier slowly going down because she wasn't sure she could hold on as long as Hilda. Moreover, Hilda did everything with passion. Could she do it too?
