Volume 1 The Omen of the Moon Chapter 15 The Academy Experience
In the desert, Nubis, the pillar of the town, sat under the statue of the gods outside the tombs of the gods of orc legends, looking up at the immaculate sky through the dust.
"I can hear your heartbeat from afar. Why be uneasy?" King Beamon emerged from the smoke and sand, his voice like the parched desert.
"The stars are about to return, King. I don't know if that's a good thing. Nubis withdrew his gaze and looked at King Beamon.
King Beamon stopped and sighed, "I have guessed. Leviathan's sudden awakening from the depths of the sea two years ago was proof that she was aware of this power. Otherwise, with the current abilities of the fish man and Naga, she would not be able to awaken her. ”
"But why don't you feel it? You're Beamon. Nubis walked over to the magnificent boulder and moved the boulder that had sealed the mausoleum out of the way.
King Beamon smiled and didn't say anything.
The two stood side by side outside the mausoleum, and Nubis frowned as he sniffed the smell of corruption in the tomb.
"Are you sure you want to go, Your Majesty? It is dangerous to awaken the souls of our ancestors. Nubis's voice was as low and seductive as it had been.
King Beamon raised his hand and motioned for him not to say any more.
"I've made up my mind. ”
After King Beamon entered the mausoleum, the whole desert was surging with sandstorms.
Above the snowfield, the Elven King sighed, as if feeling sorry for King Beamon for being canonized in such a way.
In the Temple of the Sea, Diasun walked to the altar. The huge statue of the sea god is surrounded by ten huge boulders of different colors. They symbolize the ten rings of the god of the sea, and in mythology and legend, they each possess the ten powers of the god of the sea. Now, the rocks, which I don't know if they really contain a great deal of power, have become somewhat erratic in their floating trajectory with deviations that are not visible to the naked eye.
"In less than fifty years, the seal of the King's Secret Realm has begun to loosen again...... "Diaxun's brow became a little deeper.
Beside him, the stunning woman named Leviathan was also looking at the ten crystalline Poseidon Stones.
"Do you need to send an oracle to the world?" she didn't seem to be worried about this matter, and asked the Pope with a soft smile.
Diason slowly leaned over, bowed to the idol and pleaded guilty, and then turned to leave.
"No, it's going to take a long time for the world to find out. Those places are too dangerous. ”
Leviathan also turned and looked at the tall man's back, the majestic muscles barely concealed even by the wide papal robes, which fascinated her.
The Empire of Mankind, the Temple of the Elements.
Holy Magister Drake ordered the news of the imminent reappearance of the King's Realm to the Golden Beach Plateau, where the dwarves were.
"Originally, the secret realm of kings appeared once every hundred years, but this time the interval appeared so quickly, wouldn't the dwarves be suspicious?" asked one of the attendants suspiciously.
"Oh, they? they only know gold. But it just so happens that the loosening of the secret realm of kings will bring us some convenience, after all, that thing ...... There is something big about to happen, and we should be prepared for it in advance. And there are many dangers in the secret realm, and we need these greedy fools to stand for us. ”
Although the waiter wanted to know what "that thing" was in Drake's mouth, he knew better that he had to learn to restrain his curiosity if he wanted to live, so he humbly retired.
In the year 2735 of the Imperial Calendar, the Qualifying Examination of Kungunir College.
The night before, Mu En thought for a long time about whether he wanted to take the first place, but finally gave up the idea of improving his magic circuit again, and the strength of the circuit was not absolute, and in the close combat he was good at, physical fitness played a more significant role. And if the mana grows too fast, but your body can't keep up, it's not a good thing. The most important thing in learning is not grades, but the improvement of yourself in all aspects, so you don't have to be too vain.
In fact, the main thing is that he is afraid that Tavasis will suddenly appear and kick his ass.
In the ring, Mu En observed it more carefully a few times. The opponents are basically about the same age as Karna in terms of appearance and age, but a few of them seem to have a higher concentration of magic than Karna in terms of breath.
After listening to the headmaster's lecture, Karna quickly called Mu En twice, gave him a thumbs up, and shouted to him: "I let you yesterday, you have to work hard! If the ranking is too ugly, I will help you find a place in a few days!"
Mu En also smiled at him and shouted hello to him.
Today he was in the first group, he walked into the ring and took a deep breath, "If you win this round, you will enter the top four, if you don't go eighth, you can't ask for much." Thinking of this, he suddenly began to wander.
"Hmm, if the top eight rankings are determined directly by fighting, what is the point of the existence of that written test?"
Just as he was thinking about the logic of the academy, he was punched in the stomach.
"Wow!" Mu En, who felt the impact, let out a painful cry, and finally left the state that he couldn't feel when he walked into his senses.
"You're a sneak attack!" Mu En was a little angry, he directly pulled out two thunder guns, and chanted a light wind spell, and his body instantly accelerated.
The opponent didn't react, and was given a few solid strokes by Mu En using the gun as a stick.
Mu En raised his two guns and plunged them into the ground, and the thunder spear disappeared in an instant.
"The Prison of a Thousand Jun. Singing the scale of the spell, Muen clenched his hand instantly.
Then the man was hit by a thunder snake that came out of the ground, and before the teacher could appear, Mu En stepped on the breeze and prepared to give him another set of kidney blows.
But the student who can get the first place in the class can't be too weak, and the man burst out with magic when Mu En rushed in front of him, blasting Mu En's technique with flames, and entanglement with Mu En.
But it's a pity that Mu En belongs to the kind of person who fights shamelessly, no matter what kind of eyes he inserts, closes his throat and steps on his feet, he will do it whenever he has the opportunity, and these students who learn medium combat skills are completely unable to compare to him.
Of course, such a bottomless way of fighting also benefits from his education since childhood.
"There is only a result in a battle, not a process!" Anschel's senior brother seemed to keep echoing in his ears.
Ten minutes later, the last punch of the panting Muen was blocked by the teacher.
"In the ring, sneak attacks are immoral......" Muen breathed heavily, this battle was a lot of physical drain on him.
"Where did I sneak attack?" The teacher shouted, could it be that I still have to wait for you to strike first?" the boy was lying on the ground, he had been beaten and had no strength to speak loudly.
"Huh, did you shout?" Muen turned to look at the teacher.
The teacher in charge of refereeing nodded.
"This ......" Mu En's face slowly turned red, and he hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm heavy." ”
Back on the field, the academy had prepared a healing circle, and Karna ran over to ask Munn about his physical condition.
Mu En replied that it was okay, but he was punched in the stomach and now it hurts a little.
"Why did you just stand still and let the family fight?"
"Distracted......"
"You're too distracted, aren't you?"
"Concentrate on it......"
Mu En decided to give up the rest of the game, because although there are ways to quickly make up for the magic and injuries, the physical strength can only be recovered by his own body. Mu En was still young, and it was indeed too difficult to fight these children who were three years older than him.
And the results of the subsequent battles did prove what Mu En thought, and the opponent against him was the eighth in the bottom ranking, although there may be a factor that he couldn't recover for a while because he was beaten too hard by Mu En, but overall the difference will not be very big. After abstaining, Muen was ranked fourth.
"It's okay, they're three years older than you, so you don't have to be too discouraged. After the game, Karna and Muen comforted them on their way back to their dormitories.
Mu En smiled, indicating that he didn't care about this kind of thing.
A few days later, classes officially began, and Monroe was still that arrogant, not in contact with Muen and Karna, but the two didn't matter.
Karna had a good personality and soon got to know almost all of his classmates in this class. Mu En has attracted a lot of attention because of his young age, but because Mu En himself is more shy, he has never dealt too much with his classmates.
The higher education academy began to divide majors, but the situation of the Lei Academy was relatively special, so most of the people studied combat majors. However, because Mu En had spare time to learn, he also studied magic circles and potions. At the time of the elective, Mu En also saw that there was a puppet major in the academy, which made him very interested, but because he hadn't studied it before, Mu En was not very confident in himself, so he still gave up.
It's really funny, Mu En is indeed a person who is not very confident in himself, probably because the people around him were too powerful and very humble when he was young. The two years in the Forest of Avalon were even more so, and the lack of communication with people also partly cultivated his current introverted personality. Of course, in addition to being in front of his senior brother Ansher, he has a magical magic that infects others to be happy with him.
In addition, Mu En is also a bit natural, so she looks childish and very cute.
There is a course called Magic Circuit Research in colleges and universities, which uses some classic magic circuits from my predecessors as samples to explain to students how to structure circuits and how to ensure the strength, accuracy and reserves of circuits at the same time.
When he was in the Tower, Tawasis would check his circuit from time to time, but he never told him if there was a problem with his circuit.
Generally speaking, since the saints have not expressed their opinions, there is nothing wrong with that. But Mu En listened to this class and felt that his magic circuit was completely different from what the teacher said? He seemed to be just carving a moment casually, and it turned out that no one had been sent to teach Mu En these things in the high tower Tavasis.
On this day, Muen and Karna played chess in the dormitory, a game unique to Atlantis, which seems simple, but it is actually a test of calculation and judgment. Karna is a stinky chess basket, and Mu En just learned and quickly figured out a little way, so Karna only won Mu En in the first three games, and then it began to become more and more difficult, with occasional victories.
"You can......" Karna kept adjusting his sitting, but he still didn't feel like he was feeling good.
Mu En didn't answer him, he was thinking intently. When he was in the tower, he often heard his senior brother boasting that he could do three things at once, and he could ensure the quality of learning three courses at the same time, Mu En was very envious of that distraction ability, and later went to the Forest of Avalon, where the elves forced him to practice the ability to use two minds, because the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and if he can't grasp the battlefield movements in real time, he will lose the opportunity.
But there hasn't been any particularly good progress, and of course that's just what he thinks.
Karna looked up and saw that Muen had begun to enter the state of being focused on thinking again and had no five senses, so she pushed him and forced him to talk to him to distract him.
But it still turned out to be a loss, and the loss was a little uglier than before.
After all, how to make the opponent lose with the feeling of being one move behind is a very brain-consuming job.
"Our current learning is still biased towards theoretical knowledge, but next year we can divide into groups and go outside for real experience, which must be very exciting. Karna had already lost his temper, but fortunately he and Muen began to fight the mountains.
Mu En still put more effort into the chessboard, so he casually replied that he felt that there was nothing wrong with learning theoretical knowledge, at least it was safe.
"But it's also boring, there is danger to stimulate potential, after all, survival pressure is the best teacher. Karna seemed to be eager to go out and practice, and rubbed his hands excitedly.
"But you might die. Mu En thought of the two corpses that had made him think about it for more than a month without relying on magic, so that he couldn't sleep, and after half a year, it still made him feel sad.
Karna laughed and said, "Don't worry, there will be a teacher secretly protecting it at that time, and the team's route must be planned in advance and submitted to the academy for evaluation, otherwise there are some brain cramps who want to go to the Orc King City for a turn." Besides, if some of the royal relatives and powerful nobles die on the way, the academy will also have a headache. ”
Muen nodded, and then ate the last of Karna's sons.
"I heard that the school system has changed, and the time for going out to practice has also changed?" Mu En asked.
"That's right, don't you think we're a lot more stressed about our schoolwork now? Because of the new tower institute, the four-year study has been compressed to two years, and it was originally a whole year of the third grade if we went out to practice, but now it is only half a year for next year. However, there will be a short-term survival training next semester, and it should be interesting to take the class as a unit. Karna seemed to be very interested in these things, and talked to Mu En with great interest.
Mu En lowered his head and played chess, and asked again: "Why does the new tower courtyard seem to be built soon? Doesn't it mean that it will be the largest academy in the empire?"
"I don't know much about this, but it seems that the tower master sent all the working grandmasters and archmages to participate in the construction. If true, this is definitely the biggest stroke in the history of the empire. Karna scratched his head and began to figure out how to lose with more dignity in his own right.
There were seven or eight people standing in front of Monroe, all of whom were good players in the same grade, and even two or three of them were still in the top eight geniuses.
"Fights and brawls are forbidden in the academy. Then wait until you go out to travel, have the opportunity, and teach the two of them a good lesson. Then it's okay to talk bad about them at school and find trouble with them. Naturally, Monroe said this.
"But Karna is very good, and I have a good relationship with him, so ...... do this," one of them seemed a little embarrassed.
"I understand, it's going to take extra money, right? Add another black gold coin to each person, and give it to both hands when it's done. "Monroe, who is rich and hard-spoken, looks very steady and confident.
Several people standing next to him smiled happily.
"Okay, I wonder how far the boss wants them to be beaten?"
"Muen...... Just teach him a lesson and give him a beating. Karna's words were so few that he broke a few bones. Thinking of Karna's sarcastic words earlier, Monroe was furious.
Everyone nodded and agreed, after all, they usually said that the people who are usually yin and yang are weird and the boss asks for it, and then wait for next year to find another opportunity to beat them up and get a fixed income of three gold coins per month, which is a very generous reward. Three gold coins is not a small amount for most people, even if their family background is very good, but why not make money that can be earned with their mouths?
It is naturally impossible for the top academy to sit on top resources and not use it, and the academy will organize three days of training in the rainforest next to it every month. There are also thunder-infested magical beasts in the thunder phase, and many of their organs can be used in medicine to make all kinds of props, which can be sold for a good price. If you're lucky, you can also find elemental crystals in the body of the beast, which is a rare good thing for magicians with specific attributes.
Of course, mages are also a rare good thing for Warcraft.
Soon, Mu En ushered in his first month of training in the academy.
The night before.
"So excited!" Karna pulled Muen as she cleaned up her things in her room.
"What are you asking me to do when you're packing up......" Mu En stood aside blankly, looking at the increasingly bulging backpack in front of him.
"You're smarter, help me think of anything else that's missing. Basically cleaned up, Karna stood aside with his arms crossed, looking at the backpack that was "ready for everything" with satisfaction.
"Hmm......" Mu En looked very embarrassed, but finally said: "Didn't the teacher say that you can't bring too many items, only some first-aid medicine or auxiliary supplies such as ropes." ”
Aren't flints, ropes, knives and forks, trays, quilts, pots, all these needed?" Karna asked rhetorically.
Muen opened her mouth, but didn't seem to know how to refute.
The next day.
"Put back the broken stuff in your bag. We're here to survive, not an outing!" Mr. Jun saw the big bag that Karna was carrying and suspected that there was something wrong with this person's brain.
Karna reluctantly poured it out, causing a burst of laughter in the classroom.
After checking everyone's backpacks, Jun Zhuan gave the students a command to act, but instead of entering the mysterious "Turbulent Rainforest" through the back door of the academy, they went to the front door and took a detour for a while, as if they were going to make peace with someone.
Soon, seventeen people came to meet him, and there were sixteen young boys and girls looking at their clothes, and they were from Xuancen Water Courtyard.
"Senior Sister Poole, long time no see. Jun Zhu stepped forward and greeted the woman who was not wearing a school uniform.
"Jun Zhu, you're still so handsome. The girl smiled, looking no more than twenty years old by human standards.
"It's a good match. Karna turned his head to Munn and said.
But how could a magister with extraordinary insight not hear it, Poole's eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and he looked very happy.
"Your student is very good at talking, let him follow me. Poole said to Junzhu.
"It's still voluntary. Jun Zhuan smiled slightly, turned his head to his classmates and said, "We will be divided into two groups later, one group will complete this experience under the deployment of Teacher Poole, and the other group will complete this task under my command with the students who have exchanged with the Water Academy." Does anyone want to go to Mr. Poole's group?"
"It's only now that you're starting to score, it's too late for your preparations, right?" Poole had already divided his classmates into two teams, and there were quite a few girls in Shuiyuan, and there were only two boys in one class.
"Who wouldn't want to be with a girl?" said Karna, humming a little song and throwing herself into the arms of the water courtyard.
Mu En thought about it for a while, and felt that if he encountered danger, he could take a look at the demeanor of the magician of the Water Courtyard, and maybe he could determine the attribute selection of the next circuit. It's a pity that I haven't seen the strongest mage in the water system at that time, Pope Diaxun make a move, it must be spectacular.
"I didn't expect Ah Muen, I usually look at you Swenwen, but I turned out to be so sullen. Karna quipped to Munn.
This is the reason why Muen likes to be with Karna, he can always hear new words from Karna's mouth, which makes him feel that he has a better chance of winning in future confrontations with his senior brother.
"What are you thinking, I just think that if you encounter danger, maybe you can see the skills of the water magister, and look at the use of the master, maybe you can decide what attribute to use in the next circuit. Muen explained.
"Dare to do it and dare not admit it, this is called sullen. Karna laughed.
Jun Zhu looked at Poole and said with a smile: "The first and second in our class have gone to you, you have to bring them back intact, or the principal will have to swallow me alive." ”
"Oh, this kid is the first, he looks like he's only a teenager. Poole asked, noticing Muen beside Karna.
"Muen? He's twelve years old, and he's the first in our class. But Karna gave him a go. Karna hid his clumsiness. ”
Jun Zhu's voice was not small, and the people around him naturally heard it, and Karna said a little sadly: "Teacher, it's not good for you to be like this, now everyone knows that I'm hiding clumsy, so isn't life boring?"
Jun Zhuang shook his head with a smile and said: "But Mu En also left a hand, you really have to go all out, who loses and who wins." ”
"Really?" Karna asked, turning to Muen.
Mu En shrugged: "I didn't want to kill you, why are you so serious." ”
Poole stared at Muen, then looked up and looked at Junzhu.
Jun Zhuan told her with his eyes that he didn't know either.
"Alright," Poole said, clapping his hands, "let's get off now." Jun Zhu, pay attention to safety~" Finally, she also winked at Jun Zhu, and then disappeared.
The two teams then set out towards the Turbulent Rainforest on their respective routes.
