After discussing how to respond with the group of experts brought in, Daniel turned and headed to the Control Room, which is the control center of the entire ship.
This is the Floating Ship, a crystallization of the magical realm, far beyond what ordinary vessels can compare to.
Even the high-tech vessels from Daniel's previous life, such as aircraft carriers, might not be more advanced than the Floating Ship in terms of technology.
The entire ship is constructed from Floating Cloud Wood. Floating Cloud Wood is not ordinary timber; it is a magical material that takes hundreds of years to form in an area rich in elemental energy.
Its characteristic is its lightness; even an ordinary person can carry a piece of Floating Cloud Wood as thick as a person's waist with ease.
Floating Cloud Wood is not only extremely lightweight but also harder than steel, and it has excellent elemental affinity, making it suitable for engraving Magic Arrays.
Thus, powered by magic, the Floating Ship built from Floating Cloud Wood can soar through the sky.
The Control Room is heavily guarded, with a Magic Array defense on the door; without proper authorization, entry is impossible.
Fortunately, Daniel, as the leader of the team this time, has the necessary access rights.
As soon as he entered, the captain greeted him with a smile.
"Ah, it's Daniel. What brings you here?"
"I'm just taking a look; you carry on with your work."
Seeing this, the captain did not say much more and turned back to command the vessels forward.
Daniel observed from the side and was soon amazed by this crystallization of the magical realm.
The layout of the Control Room is very simple; there are two seats in the center where the captain and Helmsman sit to command the vessels.
In front was a projection, shaped like a D, very realistic, displaying the situation around the Floating Ship. The Helmsman only needed to control the Magic Array to maneuver the Vessels based on the surrounding conditions, which was not difficult.
Thus, becoming a captain was not for ordinary people; both the captain and the Helmsman were Third-Level Apprentices. Only they had sufficient magical power to control the Vessels.
After a busy day, when Daniel returned to his room, the confident smile on his face instantly disappeared, revealing some worry.
He had no confidence at all in resisting the attack from the Totonis Empire's Wizard Tower.
Not to mention anything else, just Myles alone could hold back nearly half of his subordinates' speed. With just these people, there was no way to cope.
It seemed he could only think of another way. Daniel couldn't help but recall his visit to find his mentor before coming here.
"I wonder if my mentor has any methods to deal with Franklin. There are so many types of magic in the Wizarding World; there must be something effective against space."
The reason Daniel asked this was that he wanted to enhance his own strength. No matter how he looked at it, if he encountered Franklin, it would end in defeat.
When they gathered for their mission, the other Wizard Tower members were fine; there were people to deal with them.
However, when it came to Franklin, no one dared to agree; they all shirked responsibility and did not want to face him. In the end, they drew lots and selected five unfortunate souls.
The scene was embarrassing; over a dozen people lacked even the courage to face him, let alone win in battle. This showed how formidable Franklin's reputation was.
Daniel didn't want to refuse, but he knew his own abilities.
Through chip simulation, even if his Mental Power reached a full value of one hundred points and he had all the Magical Items prepared, he still had no chance of winning.
This made him sigh; could he only let the opponent be arrogant and run away when encountering him? However, that would likely mean he couldn't even escape. The speed of a Spatial Mage Apprentice was not something other apprentices could compare with.
If that were truly the case, wouldn't it mean that as long as there was one Spatial Mage Apprentice, they would be unable to cope? That seemed impossible.
Otherwise, when facing Franklin this time, they might as well just admit defeat instead of putting up a fight.
So he came to find his mentor, seeking answers.
Marx chuckled. "Of course there is, but I'm afraid you won't be able to learn it. The best way to deal with a Spatial Mage Apprentice is to use Mystical Sorcery. The academy is looking for a Mystic Wizard to confront Franklin. Otherwise, even if all the apprentices from the academy go, they won't be able to win against him and his group of apprentices. Do you want to learn?"
Daniel shook his head with a bitter smile. He had chip assistance, which allowed him to learn anything very quickly. However, when it came to Mystical Sorcery, he had no way at all.
There was no other reason; it was simply that Mystical Sorcery had no logic to speak of.
Through various strange things, mysterious reactions were produced, and even for the same sorcery, the materials needed varied from person to person; one had to explore on their own. One had to experiment with various odd materials to find the most accurate answer.
It was possible for someone with only First-Level Apprentice strength to master sorcery comparable to that of a Third-Level Apprentice peak. Yet there was an even greater possibility that a Third-Level Apprentice might not even possess the strength of a First-Level Apprentice.
The chip was completely useless against Mystical Sorcery; he didn't want to waste countless materials hoping for luck. Daniel did not believe his luck was good enough to surpass numerous Mystical Sorcery apprentices and reach the peak.
Maxwell could tell the outcome without looking. "Another way is to study Fate Studies."
This statement immediately inspired Daniel greatly. "Time is supreme, space is king," this saying was absolutely true; all sorceries related to time and space were incredibly powerful, making one hesitant to confront them.
However, within the wizarding system, there was something that could rival them: Fate Studies.
The saying "time is supreme, space is king" actually has another part: "fate leaves no trace." This means that Fate Studies leave no trace at all; even face-to-face, if one pays close attention, they wouldn't know when they would fall victim.
According to advanced Fate Studies, it employs an amplification method. This method is akin to the Butterfly Effect from Daniel's past life, emphasizing changing something slightly in the present and through various coincidences increasing its power until it ultimately affects the opponent with amplified force.
And since there are no traces left behind—after so many coincidences occur—who could trace it back?
As for what effects it actually had, even if Daniel incorporated the entire library into his chip, he still couldn't find a proper introduction.
Because fate leaves no trace, there is no hint to speak of; each person has their own understanding.
However, Fate Studies differs from mysticism in that fate can be mastered through learning. Mysticism relies solely on luck. The choice of which path to take has long been made by Daniel.
"Alright, mentor, I will study Fate Studies, but why haven't I seen any materials about Fate Studies in the school's library?"
"Because it's useless. Although Fate Studies can be mastered through learning, it is extremely difficult. Without the innate talent, even the simplest form of magic would be as challenging as mastering the twenty-fourth Meditation Rune. Just think about it—who could possibly master that?"
Only then did Daniel understand the reason. As the mentor said, it was too difficult.
The last four Meditation Runes do not appear in any texts documenting Meditation Runes, primarily because very few people in the entire academy can even use them.
Many apprentices may not even master a Meditation Rune that matches their own strength by the time they graduate, let alone surpass their level.
Those who can use the seventeenth or eighteenth runes are already exceptional talents; as for the twenty-first Meditation Rune, there are likely very few who can master it, not to mention the most difficult twenty-fourth rune.
And even the simplest form of magic has a difficulty level equivalent to that of the twenty-fourth rune—who has the ability to master that?
