Chapter 9: Every mage has a heart for melee combat
Mages are a rather expensive profession, and the study of magic requires a lot of time and money, and mages in Mystilian can get a good grant from the Wizards Union for free, and if they are still not satisfied, they can also take on some tasks in exchange for money and materials.

Without the Wizard Alliance, the mages are left with only two options, to serve Ji'er's "Mystilian", or to become freelance mages, who can only become mercenaries or personal mages of nobles or merchants.
It sounds like that, but in reality, whether you become a mercenary or a private magician, the people who can afford to hire these magicians will always be ......
Nobles with armies, and merchants who were closely associated with the nobility.
And if you become a magician of "Mystilian", this group of innocent people who are incited will forget the small fact that Ji'er is a nobleman herself.
Nina couldn't allow that to happen, she needed a relatively stable environment for her to investigate the events of sixteen years ago, and if Mistilian was so divided, her desperate attempts to gain Solai's trust would be meaningless.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with that, you've joined the king **** as a free magician, so ......"
"Don't be stupid...... No one knows if those demons will really invade, if they really invade after I join the king ****, do you want me to go to the battlefield to die before I find out? ”
As soon as Catherine spoke, Nina's proposal was immediately rejected.
"So...... Feed...... You're not the same as that little maid, aren't you? ”
Looking at the group of simple magicians in the stands, Catherine immediately understood Nina's thoughts, she smiled meaninglessly, and said softly.
"I didn't come here to be a magician."
――
Lauren ...... What should be done next? ”
Ji'er skillfully waved to the magicians in the audience and asked Lauren, who was standing behind her.
"Let's end this assembly for the time being, then choose some powerful magicians as members of the student council, and finally we need a petition, only those who are willing to sign can be trusted, if there are enough people, then we can ......"
"That...... May I ask you one thing? ”
At this moment, a slightly uncertain voice suddenly came from below the high platform, and what appeared in front of Ji'er and Lauren was an inconspicuous ordinary student, she raised her hand, as if she had something very important to ask.
"Please accept her question, Miss, this is the time to show your demeanor, but please don't answer it yourself, just repeat my answer."
After a brief hesitation, Lauren whispered.
"Okay."
Ji'er nodded slightly, and at the same time lowered her head and smiled at Nina, "Do you have any questions?" ”
"That...... I would like to ask, since the head of the Otia Academy announced the termination of cooperation with the Empire, does that mean that we will not form a common front with Wang ****? ”
Influenced by the sound magic, Nina's questions spread to the ears of every student present.
"This is a very good question, first of all, it has nothing to do with any position, as magicians we have the obligation to protect those weak ordinary people, it is our responsibility as the strong, but until a reasonable explanation is given for this incident, we have no reason to form a common front to fight with them, of course, if they can give us a reasonable explanation, we can form an alliance."
The maid and the eldest lady had already thought of the way back, and Nina, who deliberately asked this question, couldn't help but secretly think in her heart, but this is not bad, this is also what she needs: "But if the demon clan starts to invade before they give an explanation, then what should we do?" ”
"Then we will join forces with other academies to fight the demons together."
This maid really thinks well, if Mistirian really breaks away from the Wizard Union, then the position of the other academies will be very embarrassing, because the loss of magicians in that war has greatly damaged the vitality of the Wizard Union, and the new batch of magicians need the training of the academy, if even Mystirian breaks away from the Wizard Union, the status of the two will actually be reversed.
But.
"Really...... But without the Demon Swordsman and the Dragon Knight, we ...... How to fight? ”
There are three ways for mages to cast spells: chanting, posture, and materials, and in addition to materials, the other two require a long charging time, so they need the protection of the magic swordsman and dragon knight, and after the cooperation with the kingdom, the mages simply do not have enough materials.
After Nina asked this question, the originally high-spirited crowd immediately cooled down, compared to Ji'er's incendiary speech, Nina's question most directly pointed out the most important problem at the moment - the invasion of demons.
"About that...... Don't worry, in addition to the king's **** magic swordsman, there are also magic swordsmen within the Mistilian......"
"But our magic swordsmen are too few."
Tut......
Luo Lun pursed her lips secretly, she didn't know what the origin of the girl in front of her was, but since just now, she has been constantly looking for trouble, and it is still trouble that cannot be refuted, this question must be given a cautious and reasonable answer, if not......
"What does it matter, it's just a head-on battle, and we can play it ourselves."
This may be the only miscalculation in Loren's chess game, and before she could think of a reasonable answer, Ji'er, who was somewhat angered by Nina, finally couldn't help but speak herself.
And that's what Nina wants to see the most.
"...... on your own? But we don't know any martial arts at all, how can we do it? ”
"With enhanced magic, this kind of magic shouldn't be difficult to learn, right?"
"Don't talk about it, Miss! You ......"
Even though Lauren tried her best to cover up the mistakes she had made, she knew that it was unlikely that what she had said would be so easily reversed.
"Really? Can you show us that? With your melee skills? ”
"No problem!"
"This idiot ......"
From Nina and Loren's faces at the same time, such expressions appeared, although the starting points were different.
"However, the words of only one person cannot show melee skills, this young lady, how about I invite you to perform with me? Attack as much as you're used to, and I'll block your ......."
"Don't bother."
In front of everyone, Nina took off her robes, revealing a set of tight-fitting enchanted cloth armor that magicians like, as well as ...... Catherine tied to her wrist.
