Of course, Rosemary wouldn't believe Gu Kexin's nonsense. Gu Kexin couldn't prove it to her. Although he didn't mind letting her see his " ribbonfish ", it was a pity that she couldn't see it.
But that didn't matter.
" Assuming that I've already cut off a piece of my soul, how do I make it into an anchor point?”he asked Rosemary.
"First, your hypothesis has to be valid.”
"Regardless of whether it's true or not, just treat it as an academic discussion.”
" If the hypothesis is true, the anchor point naturally exists.”said Rosemary. "Do you know what the first characteristic of the soul is?”
"Connection?"
" Yes, the soul is a 'connection.' Even if a person's soul is severed, the various parts are still connected. Therefore, there was no need to deliberately 'make' the soul shard into an anchor point. It was fine as long as the soul shard was intentionally connected to the main body.”
"…I don't understand. Can you give me a specific example?"
"I'm sorry, I can't do that. I didn't have an 'anchor point'. I only had some theoretical knowledge.”
"Let's put it this way. Let's say I throw one of my soul shards to A as an anchor point, and then I go to B. So, how do I teleport myself from B to A? Although my soul body in B and the soul fragment in A are connected, my physical body can't teleport.”
" That's not how the anchor point works." said Rosemary. "You should leave your soul shard and physical body in A as an anchor point, and then your soul body will go to B. When teleporting from B to the anchor point of A, one only needed to move one's soul, not one's body.”
"A soul without a physical body can't do anything, right? At most, it can be a reconnaissance plane?”Gu Kexin said.
"What is a reconnaissance plane…? It was true that a body without a soul could not interact with physical objects, but it could still use magic.”said Rosemary. " Some teachers will use a 'projection' spell to pretend that their bodies are there.”
So this was the truth behind " Blink ". The spellcaster's main body was in A, and B was just his magic projection. To outsiders, it looked as if he could teleport between the two places.
"Since the anchor point must be with the body, what's with the multiple anchor points?”
"That's a smokescreen." Rosemary waved her hand. "Only one anchor point is a real anchor point. The others are just illusions. When he teleported, he could only teleport back to the real anchor point.”
"After hearing your explanation, the anchor point doesn't seem so high and mighty anymore. It feels like magic.……By the way, if you tell me the principle behind the anchor point, is that considered destroying your job?”
"It's fine, I can't use the anchor point anyway.”said Rosemary. "It's not my rice bowl that's smashed."
This woman looked serious, but she was actually very evil.
Simply put, the principle of the anchor point spell was to leave a little soul to look after one's body, and then release the soul to work. If the soul encountered any problems, it could immediately slip back into the physical body.
He understood the principle, but it was still difficult to put it into practice. Gu Kexin had a lot of experience in controlling soul fragments through space, but he had never done something like separating the physical body and the soul, so he had no idea where to start. Rosemary couldn't guide her in this aspect. After all, she had less experience than him.
Since there was no one to guide him, he could only fumble around on his own. He went back to his dormitory early and got into bed. He tucked himself under the blanket and started to play the " soul out of body " trick. He first used Soul Imprint to drive his soul out of his body, then used Imprint of the Stars to cut out a small piece of his soul and stuff it back into his body. Then, he tried to use Tool Control Imprint to control his soul as if he was controlling an external object.
This was the first time he had used all three seals together. Unexpectedly, he did not panic. Instead, he felt a sense of enlightenment. It was as if these three seals should have been used in the first place, and the previous usage was wrong.
The ribbonfish let out a strange cry, and the three marks on its body disappeared. They melted into a liquid, then mixed together, and finally burned new patterns on its body.
This was a golden star-shaped imprint, named the Polar Star Imprint. It had the functions of a soul, a tool controller, and a star. It also allowed Gu Kexin to control his own soul freely.
"Oh, so the imprint can be combined. Science is so wonderful."
Originally, he was worried about what would happen if the little body of the Ribbonfish was engraved with marks. Looking at it now, as long as the seals merged with each other, they would be able to make room.
With the Polar Star Imprint, the anchor point cantrip was completed. Gu Kexin manipulated his soul of "Ribbonfish" to drift out of the dormitory building and swim toward the "pit". In the beginning, he couldn't control it well and would always accidentally enter other people's bedrooms.
"What's so good about 'accidentally entering' the boys 'dormitory?”He reprimanded his ribbonfish. "There's no value in entering a male bathhouse by mistake!”
The " ribbonfish " understood his words. Gradually, it became more and more skilled in swimming. It could swim in a straight line, and its swimming speed was almost the same as Gu Kexin's normal walking speed.
The security guard guarding the entrance of the " hole " naturally couldn't see the soul, so the " ribbonfish " swaggered in. Not long after it entered, it encountered a teacher leading a group of senior students to explore the cave.
"No, how dare these people? How dare he wander around in the pothole without an anchor point?”
Rosemary said that there were not many people in the entire school who could play with " anchor point." The teacher who led the team looked poor and did not look like someone who had an anchor point. Moreover, even if he had an anchor point, it was impossible for the entire team of students to have an anchor point, right?
"I'll remind you again, pay attention to the status of the space indicator at all times.”The leading teacher warned his students. He was holding a mallet shaped magic tool in his hand.
"Everyone, pay attention to the gem on the space indicator. It's blue now, which is normal.”he said. "As you will see later, the gemstone has turned yellow or red, which means that there is a distortion in space. At this time, you must not run around, because the distorted space will randomly send you to any place in the 'pothole'. It is possible that you will never be able to come out in your lifetime. So, I'll emphasize this again: If you don't want to get lost and die, you have to pay attention to the space indicator at all times.”
…So, with this thing, one wouldn't get lost. There was no need to go through so much trouble to get an anchor point!
He had thought that Guinness was the kind of person who was well-informed, but it turned out that his information was only hearsay.
This leading teacher definitely had some experience in exploring the " pit ". Gu Kexin decided to let the ribbonfish follow behind him. It could be considered as a free tour guide.
"Everyone, take a look at the map in your hands. It has marked the locations that the school has explored so far.”The leader waved a map at his students. " Of course, this map only shows the general route. The distorted space is random and cannot be described, so it is not recorded on the map. In short, as long as we follow the conventional route drawn on the map, we won't encounter any unexpected danger.”
Gu Kexin felt that it was necessary for him to get a map. This map should be sold in the magic market, but he didn't know the price.
As they walked, a wild beast's roar suddenly came from the " pit."
"Teacher, what is that sound?" A timid girl immediately asked the leading teacher.
"It should be the voice of the pitch-black beast.”The leading teacher put down the space indicator and raised his staff. "This place is very far from their 'invasion point', so there shouldn't be too many of them. In short, get ready for battle!"
The roars were getting closer and closer. A moment later, a black beast appeared in front of everyone.
The teachers and students were already on guard, and they bombarded the wild beasts with ice, fire, thunder, and wind magic without any explanation.
Gu Kexin felt that the wild beast looked a little familiar. It reminded him of the Shadow Beast that had crushed and eaten Trion the last time he had entered the cave.
However, compared to the shadow beast, it was more like the black beast he had seen in the Holy Rushan Empire.
At that time, they had already attacked the imperial city of the Gathering of the Seven, but the emperor, Ziegred, had released a flood of black beasts. Although they were not in the same world, they looked exactly the same.
A question suddenly popped into his mind.
"Why was I summoned to this world?”
At this moment, a ray of light appeared in the pitch-black hole.
The light did not come from the torches in the hands of the teachers and students. It was much brighter than they were.
A young woman stood in the bright light. She had long black hair and a pair of big eyes. She wore a white dress and smiled like a flower.
"Which class are you from? Who is your leader?" The leading teacher asked.
The young girl smiled and did not speak. She turned around and ran into the depths of the " pit."
"Wait a minute, this student!" The leading teacher ran towards her.
"Teacher! Space indicator!" a girl reminded.
The leading teacher turned around and saw that the gem on the spatial indicator was red. A beam of light shot out from the gem, pointing in the direction where the girl had disappeared. It meant that the space there was distorted.
Therefore, the leading teacher did not dare to take another step forward. "I have to report this to the school.”
Gu Kexin's "Ribbonfish" chased after them.
The girl really made him curious. Moreover, he was not worried that the " ribbonfish " would get lost. After all, his soul could return to his body at any time.
This was the advantage of the " anchor point " over the " space indicator."
