Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

"Teacher Kael..." Anderson respectfully performed the mage salute when he saw Kael walking out of the classroom.

Kael nodded towards him and said, "How was it, experiencing a battlefield of this intensity for the first time? How do you feel overall?"

Anderson nodded and said, "Thanks to your guidance, I indeed felt the superiority of the war mage profession on the battlefield. I suppose my companions who took part in the battle have gained a lot as well?"

Kael shook his head and said, "This time, you were only active on the battlefield in a supporting role.

Compared to really being on the front lines, it's uncertain if you could perform as well as you did in these supporting roles."

Anderson nodded to show he understood.

When the blade grazes your skin, that hair-raising sensation from the cold steel is an experience only those who have truly fought can understand.

"However, you did far exceed my expectations," Kael said with a smile.

Hearing Kael's evaluation, a trace of joy flashed in Anderson's eyes. A moment later, he said softly,

"Teacher Kael, regarding the many studies on necromancy magic you mentioned before, I wonder if I now possess the capability to properly research related knowledge."

Anderson knew that Teacher Kael held a heritage of necromancy mage knowledge that was hard to imagine for ordinary people.

However, it seemed that he did not particularly like using necromancy magic, so students rarely had the chance to see it.

Kael helplessly replied, "Actually, for you, necromancy magic is not that useful. Why not continue with the transformation magic you use most frequently?"

Anderson had a bit of talent, although he couldn't quite match Lily's level, but among the entire Mage Academy, he was still one of the more capable students, with visible talent.

For this reason, the academy head had specifically discussed with Kael about the future training and development of those students who came to study as war mages and showed outstanding talent.

Kael could understand the headmaster's thoughts. Whether it was the Mage Academy, other academies in the Bell Federation, or mage academies established by other mage forces outside the Bell Federation, the current time still dominated by an apprentice training system.

This would inevitably lead to the need for a significant amount of time and effort to cultivate a batch of qualified mage talents within the entire mage system.

The teachers who mentored mages could only teach a limited number of students one-on-one.

Even if they were integrated into the mage academy system, although the mage profession was already strong, it was not overwhelmingly so.

Due to the high entry threshold, a considerable number of people still hesitated to choose the mage profession for fear of the entrance requirements.

With an insufficient base population, it was impossible to sift through a large number of students to find more suitable candidates for inheriting mage research.

Without experiencing a "wave-like" screening to find suitable candidates for the mage profession, the immediate burden naturally fell on the teaching mages.

Ultimately, in the realm of researching spells, to advance the upper limits of the mage profession in various specialized projects, truly independent research talents were required.

Not those who seemed to have served as assistant mages under veteran mages for many years but were still assistant mages.

"I understand the academy's intention, Teacher Kael. This decision was made after weighing the pros and cons."

Anderson raised his head and looked at Kael with a determined gaze, saying, "Teacher, the goal of learning transformation magic is to provide more reference for necromancy in the future. This was something I had decided long ago."

Kael was not annoyed; instead, he smiled and said, "It seems the headmaster has a much better eye for students than I do."

"What?"

Hearing Kael say this, Anderson was a bit dumbfounded. How did this matter involve the headmaster?

"Starting with a theoretical framework, developing a series of supporting spells, and finally creating an entirely new profession in my hands...

In this process, even I could not avoid the need for trial and error. From this perspective, it might have seemed to outsiders that I was drawing big promises to you early on, and sacrificing your futures could not be avoided."

In the past, Kael would never have shared such thoughts with his students.

Though failure was nearly impossible for Kael, others did not know that.

At the Mage Academy, including the headmaster and all veteran mages, believed that even if the war mage system could be quickly established, the trial and error phase would inevitably impact the future potential of some student practitioners.

The tricky part was that, for constructing such new directions in mage career development, one couldn't afford to let students who had nearly been eliminated in the spell path take on these tasks.
