Chapter 10: Everything is going according to plan.

“Are all these things driven by electric magic power?”

Alice looked at the TV that Tang Yingjie had turned on with amazement. The images inside were countless times clearer than the crystal-based visual magic from her world.

There were also various lamps in the room, and an air conditioner that coolly blew cold air outward.

“Yes, these things are called electrical appliances. They are all driven by electrical energy. Remember, in this world, powers are called energy or force. Things like electrical energy, thermal energy, kinetic energy, potential energy, gravitational force, anti-gravity — our world classifies them all as types of energy. Just like how your world classifies these forces as magic. When you learn Chinese later, don’t say it wrong. There is no magic in this world.”

Alice listened to Tang Yingjie’s explanation in a daze.

She quickly developed a feeling that although there was no magic in this world, there were still extraordinary powers.

“Understood! I will work hard to learn this knowledge in the future!”

Alice clenched her small fist and struck a determined pose.

“Mm… I think you should be able to learn it. But before that, focus on learning the language first…”

Tang Yingjie thought for a moment and felt that Alice had this potential.

Magic in the other world was also a complex subject, no less difficult than mathematics in this world. The more complex the magic formula, the higher the computational demand on the brain.

From Alice’s performance on the battlefield, where she was like a magic autocannon, one could see how terrifying this usually cold girl’s brain processing speed was.

Although he had tested positive for magic affinity in the other world, his brain’s calculation speed was simply too poor.

He could only react quickly with the most basic calculations, at most producing a small flame.

Once it involved upgrading the flame into a fireball spell, adding three extra effects of flame shaping, flight, and explosion into the combustion formula and setting up the operation loop, he would have to stand there holding his staff and struggle for a long time.

Fortunately, his blessing was All Weapons Mastery, allowing him to directly take the warrior path with simple and brainless training. Otherwise, even studying magic for ten years wouldn’t have let him defeat the Demon King.

“Over here is the bathroom. If you need to shower, you can do it here.”

Tang Yingjie led Alice to the bathroom door.

Since it was an old hotel, the bathroom wasn’t big. It didn’t have the flashy glass partitions of newer hotels but used old-fashioned dividing walls instead.

This made Tang Yingjie’s slightly raised heart settle down a bit.

There was no helping it. Some hotels in the country loved adding strange, ambiguous decorations that made normal guests feel awkward.

Alice followed Tang Yingjie into the bathroom. Tang Yingjie very seriously introduced how to use all the facilities inside, but as Alice listened, her gaze gradually lingered on Tang Yingjie.

Tang Yingjie felt her staring and subconsciously turned back, only to find her eyes slightly unfocused as if thinking about something.

“Hey, what’s wrong? Why did you suddenly space out?”

He waved his hand in front of Alice’s eyes. Her originally dazed pupils refocused.

“Ah, seeing you explain so seriously reminded me of when we first met.”

“When we first met?”

“Yes. Don’t you remember? That teacher who taught you magic back then…..”

“Ah stop stop stop!”

Tang Yingjie’s eye twitched. Some unpleasant memories began crawling out from the depths of his mind and wrapping around him.

“It was obviously not my problem, right? My profession is warrior. Isn’t it normal that I can’t learn magic?”

Even though three years had passed and he had already achieved great success in the other world.

He still couldn’t forget the embarrassing experience of being forced to learn magic in his first year after crossing over.

The magic teacher who taught him had a difficult expression in class when facing him, as if looking at a giant monster whose head was full of weeds.

That was one of the most unbearable periods in his three years in the other world.

Alice saw Tang Yingjie’s distressed expression, the corners of her mouth slightly curved up, and she smiled gently to comfort him.

“Actually, Teacher Motos thought very highly of you at the time. Although your magic talent really gave him a headache, he praised your serious learning attitude to me quite a lot.”

“Ah?”

Tang Yingjie turned his head in full surprise and looked at Alice.

“That old man? He would praise someone?”

“Don’t wrong Teacher Motos. He was rated as the kindest magic professor in our Magic Temple.”

Tang Yingjie choked.

That was true.

He really had no talent in arithmetic. When facing magic calculations, he was only fit to be a pile of stinking dog shit.

Even the gentlest teacher probably wouldn’t show a good face when facing such a hopeless student.

“Fine, it was my problem. But why did you suddenly think of this? I almost forgot about it.”

Tang Yingjie shrugged and changed the subject.

“Of course it’s because you look very serious today too.”

Alice smiled.

“At that time during magic class, watching you work hard to learn magic theory, you really looked very handsome.”

Tang Yingjie subconsciously touched his face upon hearing this.

It felt hot.

If you want to praise me for being handsome, there’s no need to take such a big detour!

“Then you haven’t seen me do high jump. I look even more handsome when doing high jump.”

Feeling his emotions getting out of control, Tang Yingjie quickly threw out a lame joke.

“？”

Alice tilted her head in confusion, then nodded.

“You mean practicing martial techniques? I’ve seen it. You were also very hardworking when practicing martial techniques. Actually, I started liking you from that time.”

“Cough….”

Another straight ball, hitting his heart and making it pound.

Tang Yingjie was starting to lose control. He quickly spoke.

“Let’s not talk about these things for now. I have class at eight in the morning. I’ll teach you how to use this first.”

Tang Yingjie quickly demonstrated how to switch between cold and hot water on the water heater, and also showed the free shower gel and shampoo placed nearby.

“There are bath towels on this rack, and toothpaste and toothbrush in this drawer. There are disposable slippers on the shoe rack outside. These are all free one-time use items. You can just throw them away in the hotel after use. I’ll demonstrate how to use them.”

He opened a pack of disposable toothbrush and toothpaste, then showed Alice how to puncture the toothpaste in front of her. Immediately after, he started brushing his teeth.

He might as well brush his teeth and wash his face here, then go to the cafeteria for breakfast, play on his phone for a while until 7:10, and return to the dorm to grab his textbooks for the early morning class.

What a perfect plan!
