Seeing Erin's expectant eyes, Aaron nodded seriously.
"I understand, teacher!"
Although the two had only really known each other for two days at most, Aaron could be sure that Erin genuinely cared about him.
After seeing his magic talent, she reported it to Frigga that same day to secure more resources for him, even wanting to persuade Frigga to teach him personally.
It must be said that Erin was very dedicated, eager to train Aaron into an excellent mage, and even worried that she wouldn't be able to fulfill her duties as a teacher.
If it were someone else, they might feel jealous of a prodigy-like student and try to suppress them.
Even if not, they might cling tightly to him.
Think about it: if Aaron becomes a powerful and outstanding mage in the future, that person would naturally become Aaron's sole mentor in name.
A distinguished status, sharing the honor.
At this moment, Erin, having received a satisfactory answer, continued, "You can put aside the study of enchantment magic for now. The top priority is strengthening your learning of other magics."
"After you've mastered the main magic, it's not too late to specialize in enchantment magic."
"In fact, only mages who feel it's difficult to continue improving their magic will specialize in enchantment magic. I don't want you to invest too much time in it."
"Of course, I also know that with your talent, you spend more time not on practicing magic but on reading. But no matter what, it will always be a waste of time."
"Now that you have the opportunity to ask other teachers for advice, seize it."
"If you can get the Queen's approval, you'll receive better magic teachings."
In this regard, Aaron just nodded and didn't say anything blunt.
Although enchantment magic was last in his plan, that didn't mean he didn't value it.
Aaron had also considered what would happen if he improved enchantment magic to a very high level—how powerful would the enchanted artifacts become?
Mass-produce Thor's Hammer?
Mass-produce Stormbreaker?
It seems… not impossible!
Moreover, having a piece of equipment with strong defense before reaching a certain level was also a good idea.
At this moment, he wasn't strong against physical attacks.
He could probably just barely block less powerful bullets.
After all, his physique was that of an ordinary Asgardian.
By calculation, he had just reached adulthood, and his body hadn't yet hit its peak.
Meanwhile, Thor was of royal blood and in the prime of his peak, and Loki was of the royal blood of the Frost Giants.
It was impossible to compare Aaron to the two.
Thus, having a set of armor with strong defense at this stage was very important.
When the time came, combined with his own enchantment, he might be able to withstand the weapon damage of ordinary Asgardian soldiers.
You know, even the equipment of these soldiers was made of Uru metal.
That was an artifact capable of breaking the defenses of Thor, Loki, Hela, and even Odin!
If it could withstand equipment of that level, even Thor and the others wouldn't be able to resist coveting it.
Next, the two talked for a while.
To continue studying, Aaron left the room.
Not long after he left, a charming woman in a green dress walked into the room.
"Amora, what are you doing here?"
When she saw the visitor, Erin's face suddenly darkened.
"Erin, don't forget one thing: I am also a teacher at the Magic Academy."
Amora wasn't angered by Erin's unwelcoming look and tone. Instead, she said with great interest, "That person just now is the magic genius the Queen told us to pay special attention to, right?"
"I remember his name was… Aaron? A magic apprentice who's only been learning magic for less than two days."
"I heard that on his first day of school, he could create an energy entity illusion clone?"
"Does he really have such a powerful magical talent?"
Amora didn't hide her curiosity about Aaron.
"Amora, I'm warning you, you'd better not set your sights on him! He's my student! You're also someone the Queen is watching. If you dare pull any tricks, don't blame me for being rude!"
Erin's temper flared, and she was no longer as kind and friendly as she had been with Aaron.
"Erin, why are you still so prejudiced against me? I didn't do anything to you," Amora said with a chuckle, completely ignoring the warning in Erin's tone.
"And didn't the Queen say it? He can ask any mage for advice. Strictly speaking, he doesn't belong to you alone; he's our shared student."
At this, Amora also licked the corners of her mouth seductively.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know—that incident has everything to do with you!"
Erin looked at the other woman with disgust and said in a cold tone, "Don't think you'll be safe just because you escaped sanctions last time. I'll keep an eye on you and won't let you do anything that tarnishes the reputation of mages again!"
Amora, known as the Enchantress, was a master of enchantment magic and absolutely unrivaled in mind-related magic.
She was also a teacher of psychic magic at the Magic Academy.
She had a sister, Lorelei, also known as an Enchantress, who was likewise a master of psychic magic.
Lorelei had once tried to stage a coup but was imprisoned in the dungeon after it failed.
Amora had avoided that coup and later relied on her exceptional psychic magic to become a teacher at the academy. That incident had badly damaged the reputation of mages.
Erin despised such mages. If it weren't for them, why would the status of mages in Asgard be so awkward now?
She had always suspected that Amora was involved in that incident.
Moreover, since the instigator was Amora's sister, Erin held a strong dislike for her.
Seeing that Amora was clearly interested in Aaron, she couldn't hide her anger.
"Then you've wronged me. Unlike Lorelei, the great God-King deems me innocent," Amora said, blinking with an air of innocence.
Erin clenched her fists but didn't argue further. After all, arguing would imply doubting Odin's investigation, wouldn't it?
"Hahahaha…"
Amora chuckled and left the room before Erin could erupt. She had gotten the exact answer she wanted…
