Chapter 10: Magic and Weapons
This person...... Are you going to face off against Ji'er head-on? And still in a melee manner?
"Really...... Alright then, please get out of the way a little bit, I'm going to go one-on-one with this young lady. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
As the students in the room got out of the way, an enchantment appeared on the wide road, and duels were originally allowed within the Mystilians, but the duels of the mages were often decided by magic cannons, and such small enchantments were rarely used.
"Miss...... Please be careful, and pay attention to the magic book in her hand. ”
Lauren knew that this battle was inevitable, and in that case, it would be a good idea to simply defeat her opponent.
"Magic Amplifier...... It doesn't matter, I have this kind of thing too. ”
The so-called magic amplifier is a product of magic engineering, and it can amplify specific magic through pre-set spells, but Ji'er and Lauren naturally don't know what Catherine is in Nina's hands.
"Since you're using a magic amplifier, you shouldn't mind me using it, right?"
"Of course."
Nina nodded.
Although it may be a bit of a bully for her, but since the other party uses it first, she can also use it as a matter of course, Ji'er laughed secretly in her heart, and untied the sword-like jewelry from her earrings.
"Unblocked."
As a nobleman, Ji'er received some swordsmanship instruction when she was a child, although she was not as good as a real magic swordsman, but in the face of a magician who had no fighting foundation, these foundations were enough, not to mention that the magic guide amplifier she used was not an ordinary item that could be bought on the market.
"Miss, please be careful, you must win this battle, otherwise ......"
"Don't worry Lauren, that person will only do some enhancement magic at best."
Seeing Nina walking towards her step by step, Lauren also had a little more confidence, just looking at her walking posture, she knew that she had not learned any hand-to-hand combat skills at all, and fighting with this kind of layman, the sword skills she had learned should be enough.
This may be the first melee duel between two mages in the Wizard Academy, and the students standing outside the barrier whispered that it probably didn't matter to them who won or lost this match, because whoever won or lost this match could give them a rough idea of how far a pure mage's melee could go.
"Can we begin?"
Standing at one end of the enchantment, Ji'er bowed solemnly but contemptuously.
"Anytime."
Nina nodded. There was no indication of her contemptuous expression.
"Then I'm on!"
Although Ji'er said this, in a brief moment, neither side did anything.
This is the most important problem that a melee mage needs to face, the basis for becoming a magic swordsman is to learn the highest skill that an ordinary swordsman can learn, that is, battle qi, even if there is no need to strengthen the magic, the physical fitness of the magic swordsman who mixes battle qi and mana and stores it in his body is already quite terrifying, this mixed energy supports them like another set of bones, and the mage has completely lost physically.
With her eyes half-closed, she was concentrating on chanting to strengthen the magic, the magic that simply strengthens the body can be extremely taxing on the body, and magicians often use magic to create an "armor" on the outside of the body if they have to fight in close combat.
Regardless of the use of scrolls, chanting speed is a key factor in the battle between magicians, and Ji'er, who quickly completed the reaction enhancement and basic body enhancement, was about to start making magic armor, but before she could finish it, a powerful magical shock had already rushed straight in front of her.
She sings so fast! Ji'er, who had strengthened her reaction speed, immediately tried to swing her sword to fight back, but the moment she opened her eyes, she immediately understood something.
She's from the Circle system...... Although the circle system is difficult to learn compared to ordinary chanting, once learned, the circle can release magic with the same power as chanting in a shorter period of time.
On Nina's limbs and waist, there is a magic circle that strengthens magic, and on her hands and legs, there is also a thunder element circle, which already has a high-speed attribute, and a thunder-like fist directly hits her chest.
"Amplification Wizard Activated!"
Can't take her punch directly, Ji'er instantly realized this, she gently pressed the button on the hilt of the sword, and in an instant, a powerful magic power poured into her body, and the sword also seemed to have consciousness, and suddenly swung forward.
Boom -
At the moment when the long sword was swung, the magic released from the tip of the sword was instantly transformed into a burst of flames, and Nina did not choose to fight head-on, but wisely retreated a few steps.
Ji'er's amplification magic guide can increase her reaction speed, and it can also store some mana, and if she hadn't activated the sword just now, she should have taken a heavy hit from Nina's punch.
Did she spot her lack of singing speed...... Ji Er gripped her sword hard, because she hadn't fully completed the reinforcement, and her body couldn't withstand it because of the barely blow.
She really didn't look like she had learned any martial arts, but the punch just now ...... Ji'er couldn't help but start reconsidering the difference in strength between the two sides, as well as the way they fought.
Compared to Ji'er's nervousness, Nina, who was standing opposite her, didn't seem to be in a hurry, she just stood in place, not knowing what she was waiting for......
Wait a minute!
The reaction speed that had been greatly increased made Ji'er quickly notice that Nina's enhanced magic array was obviously not as bright as just now, and the thunder elemental circle could even be described as dim.
Different from chanting, although the magic circle has the advantage of faster casting, but on the contrary, the strength of the magic circle depends on the existing magic power of the circle operator, and at the same time, it also consumes mana to support the operation of the magic circle, and the chant depends on the magic power gathered from itself and everything around it in the chant, and for some magic that needs to be cast continuously, it can also be done by continuing to chant while casting, and for the magic circle, if the magic power cannot be replenished, it can only be made up by drawing a new magic circle.
The opponent's magic power doesn't seem to be as much as she thought, or maybe she's saving her mana, and for Ji'er, her magic can continue to chant in battle, and she will get stronger and stronger, while the opponent will only get weaker and weaker as the consumption increases.
This battle can be won, Ji'er silently said to herself in her heart, what she needs to do is not to attack aggressively, but to exhaust her opponent's physical strength by exhaustion.
