Chapter 402 Magic Exam
From the reinforced concrete city to the brick and stone city of Tawu Harbor, there is a feeling of being out of the world. The standard of living here is much lower, almost everything cannot be compared with another developed world - but it is not without advantages, and the school of magic is one of them.
Feiqi promised to give Thunder White the exam in person, so he came to the magic school the day after he returned and did it himself. Fei Qi has been the principal for so long, he has personally assigned and corrected homework, lectured and answered questions a lot, and has also taken everyone to various places for spring outings and practical activities, but he has never presided over an exam.
"Is the principal going to be very strict, or is it just a formality?" Not only the students, but also some teachers are discussing this matter. "Thunder White's magic level is definitely qualified. I heard that she asked for this exam - so that she could graduate early. ”
"It's not time for the final exam yet, and this additional test must be begging, so you still need to say that? Your Excellency the Headmaster or His Majesty the Emperor, he must be very busy with his affairs. So this exam shouldn't take long, right?"
"Who knows? After all, there is no precedent, there is no way to analyze it! Why do I suddenly feel a little chilly behind my back......
The alert students of the school of magic turned around and were surprised to find Feige standing behind them, and hurriedly greeted them. Feiqi also nodded and said hello, and asked, "Did you see Thunder White?" It stands to reason that her exams should have started, but she didn't come to the principal's office to look for me. ”
"She should be in the exam room, the front hallway turns right, and the next floor is the lecture hall. One student replied, "Usually the exams are held there." ”
"I didn't come to the exam, and the details are a little unclear. Feige said to them, "You've picked a nice spot from which you can see the playground outside." It's a good location, don't tell anyone!"
Feige held the cat teaser stick in his left hand and pointed forward, turning into a dark red line of fire and quickly teleporting forward. When you're close but don't know what's ahead, combining flying, shapeshifting, and teleportation spells can balance safety, agility, and speed. This was inspired by the Elder Wand, and many wizards moved in a similar way. It's just that the afterimage left by the wizards is the color of their robes, which often gives the impression of black smoke billowing out. And the red line of fire behind Fitch is much better-looking.
Pushing open the door of the lecture hall, Thunder White was indeed here, she was boredly playing with a quill in her seat. Vice Principal Liz looked at Feige with a smile and replaced the greeting with a complaint: "You're late!"
"I'm waiting in the office! Didn't you come to me for the individual exam? Forget it, it doesn't matter, the exam is important. Fei Qi looked at Lei Tingbai, his eyes sharpened: "Are you ready for the graduation exam?"
"Uh-huh!" Thunder White raised the hand holding the quill and replied in a clear and bright voice, "I'm ready to answer the question!"
"I didn't prepare a roll, and I don't want to embarrass you with it. Feige pointed out the window, "Come up to the playground and I'll see how well you've learned your magic." ”
"Huh?" Thunder Bai thought for a moment and said, "Although I am confident that I can pass the exam, you will not take this opportunity to beat me, right?"
"Have you made a mistake lately?" Fei Qi saw Thunder Bai shaking his head vigorously, so he smiled and said, "I won't punish you for nothing." But if it really hits you, it's also punishing you in advance for future mistakes. ”
"Is it so miserable?" Thunder White made an exaggerated expression, but she was adamant that Feige was joking—until she reached the playground and saw Feige very focused on preparing for his body.
"The way the exam is done is simple, show me how proficient you are in magic spells, magic runes, and magic matrices. You've got ten minutes to prepare, and then ten minutes to demonstrate, and I'll watch from the sidelines. After these twenty minutes, you can attack me, or try to fend off my attacks on you, and I'll ask you some questions in the process. Points are awarded for questions you don't answer incorrectly before you're knocked down or knocked out, and extra points are awarded for questions you get right. As long as I don't faint and I don't shout to stop, the exam is not over. Do you have any questions?"
"I understand the rules, but the number of points you should get for all the exam questions is completely up to the principal, and there is no standard answer?"
Feige shook his head: "There is no standard answer, but all the students and teachers watching from the side have the ability to judge, so I won't give you strange questions and questions that I don't know how to answer." Isn't it nice to know that you can pass an exam, and to find out what you don't know and get answers later?"
Thunder's white eyes lit up, and he no longer hesitated, and immediately began to prepare. As the inheritor of the memory of the Goddess of Truth Thunder, Thunder White also has a great interest in pursuing truth and solving questions, so Feiqi's words just touched her excitement.
Feige wasn't idle, he was also doing the arrangement. The school's playground is usually just for exercise, not for magic, so it needs to be protected. He stuck the cat teasing stick in the corner of the playground, and used it as a starting point to radiate a defensive circle. This is a circle with spatial abilities that can turn spells that fly outside into the air. Unless an unlucky bird happens to pass by, this is the safest and easiest way to protect it.
The entire defensive array requires six node circles, which are connected to form a hexagonal area that encloses most of the playground. It only took a little more than six minutes for Feiqi to walk six points back to the position of the cat teaser, and he completed the arrangement of the six magic circles. Then, he pushed his hand to the left and right at the same time, and with the words "strong protection" pronounced by the magic rune, a bright white barrier stretched outward and rose upward.
"Do you understand?" said the students who heard that the exam was being held in the playground as they gathered, and this was what they said the most. The teacher who was asked by them also shook his head, they only understood the hexagonal structure of the circle, and the rest touched their blind spots.
"I feel that when the headmaster uses magic, the movements are smooth, the mana is beautiful, and there is a feeling of doing whatever he wants. One student said, "Look at Thunder Bai, she seems to be starting to get a little nervous, and her movements are very stiff. She's never been like this! It seems that the principal has put a lot of pressure on her. ”
"If you're called to the test alone, you're stressed!" said the group.
It took Feige exactly ten minutes to set up the circle, and he walked through the playground to the position opposite the cat teaser. Then, Thunder White began to show his spells. She considered that she would have to fight against Feige in a little while, so it was better to save some mana now, so she couldn't show those complex, advanced, difficult spells. On the other hand, it is difficult to get a high score if she uses simple spells, so she can only put some thought into her spellcasting skills.
So, Thunder Bai concentrated and summoned a magic matrix on his left arm.
"Twin magic matrices?" the classmate was as surprised as the teacher. Every mage has learned how to hone their own magic matrix, and once you have the first, you can try the second, and everyone knows that, but few have the time, energy, and patience. Dual Magic Matrix is three times more difficult than a single one, and four to eight times more difficult to distract at the same time. The magic matrix can release two spells at the same time under the control of specific skills, and the double matrix is four, which is also the confidence of Feiqi to dare to claim the number one in the magic world (Yongli Continent) in terms of spells.
Sure enough, first four light dancing spells, and then four different simple spells were cast at the same time, which showed that Thunder White had mastered the skills of the Double Matrix Four Spells. Feige applauded, then continued to wait.
"And this, you have to keep your eyes open!" Thunder White said loudly, as if not to make Feige hear, but to increase his confidence. She put her hands on each other, and the two magic matrices became face to face. I saw that the matrices, which were originally slowly rotating, suddenly accelerated and rotated when they were close to each other, merging into a light wheel. At this time, Thunder Bai's hands began to tremble, his forehead sweated slightly, and he carefully controlled it. Suddenly, she pushed her hands forward, and a blue pillar of light shot out of the light wheel, about the thickness of her wrist, and flew towards the sky directly above. The two magic matrices quickly slowed down and returned to their original state, and the pillars of light disappeared above the heavenly dome.
"Good control. Fei Qi said: "But if you don't practice this in the future, it's useless." ”
"Isn't it useless? The mana beam shot out like this is unpredictable, whether it is a defensive array set up in advance or an on-the-spot reaction, it is difficult to defend, and the power is still very great, I think it is quite powerful!"
"The discussion could take place later. Next Showcase. Feige said.
"Next, I'll show you meditation!" Thunder Bai sat on the ground, even put away a magic matrix, and then adjusted his breathing, closed his eyes, and cleared his mind, seized the time to recover his mana, and made himself as focused as possible. Feige smiled, and he was pleased to see that Thunder White had a brilliant brain and was able to use the rules to get better exam conditions for himself. This flexibility and ability to plan for the future is important for magicians, and Feige needs someone who can work together to find a way to save the world, and this ability is a must.
Thunder White is hurrying to adjust his state, and so is Feige. He took off his shoes and stood barefoot on the playground, so that he could get close to the earth element that the earth represents. He took off the Iron Golem mask, removed the Eye of Koktar ring and the paralysis amulet, lightened his weight, and approached the qi element in the wind. He casts a spell to collect water and pour it over his head, washes away the dust, clears his mind, and then roasts it dry with a flame. He removed all the space bags, removed the Pit Excalibur, and placed them outside the playground along with the previous things. He traveled completely lightly, except for a thin stick with many nodules growing in his right hand.
It was an elderberry wand.
When the ten-minute time was up—about the same—Thunder White finished his meditation and stood across from Feiqi. She nodded, and was about to start, Feige said, "It's just not good to nod, I'm your headmaster and the emperor of the empire, so I should salute more formally." ”
After speaking, he held the wand between his two fingers, drew two circles in the air, about the symbol of infinity, and then pressed his chest and bowed slightly towards Thunder Bai.
"Now it's time to get started. ”
As soon as the words fell, Fei Qi began to cast spells, leaving no reaction time for Thunder Bai. As a beam of static electricity struck Thunder White, her hair immediately exploded in all directions, and the strings that bound her braids flew out. The static electricity doesn't hurt, but it stings for a moment, and it's weirdly scary. Thunder Bai's whole body trembled, and he broke free from the idea of "how to return the courtesy", summoned the magic matrix, and launched a counterattack against Feiqi.
"Don't worry, play your strength first, don't be afraid of hurting me. Feige wrapped the magic matrix around his wand, blocking Thunder White's lightning spell. His movements looked effortless, just waving his sleeves. However, Thunder Bai and the teachers and students of the school all felt the energy fluctuations of the space spell, which was not something that could be completed with a wave of the hand in everyone's impression. They all watched Feige's every move, trying to find out something from him.
In the meantime, Fitch deflected the tracking MONOCULUS spell in the same way again, then took a step to the right, dodging the Aura Rope. "Come on. In the future, whether you are facing an exam or a real battle, you must be careful not to be robbed of the rhythm. I don't encourage sneak attacks, but I ask you not to be sneak attacked. Hey, this stacking spell casts nicely. ”
Thunder White spun the magic matrix and shot an ice pick at Feige, but the power of the flames was hidden in it. This is a variant application of the Freezing Core Spell, which is completely beyond the scope of learning for graduates and teachers of the School of Magic, so Fei Qicai is especially applauded by Thunder White. However, this application did not pose any threat to him, and he swung his wand downwards to shatter the icicle, and then used his left hand to scoop it in the air. The mana that Thunder White applied to this spell was dragged by Feiqi, like several threads of yarn wrapped around his hands into balls. Fei Qi recited a few words of incantation to the mana ball, and unearthed its core power of the fire element. All the ice turned into fire, and then it grew stronger, rising into the sky, and turned into a flaming dragon head. The body of the flame dragon was enough to make the flesh burn, and the mere look at the fire dragon's eyes made one dizzy.
"When you entered the school, I asked you why you wanted to study magic. Feiqi commanded the fire dragon with his left hand, and used his flaming body to block Thunder White's force field missile spell. "Now, if I ask you the same question again, will you still answer the same question as you did then?"
"The same!" Thunder White didn't dare to be too distracted, and decided to answer the question with intuition.
"Wrong. Fei Qi controlled the dragon head to press towards Thunder White, and when she supported the protective spell, secretly gave her another static spell. This time, Thunder White was directly knocked out and rolled on the ground before standing up. The pain didn't go away with the static spell, which showed that she was indeed hurt.
"If you haven't changed, then why should I teach you?" Feiqi's expression at this time looked very serious and fierce, and with a wave of his wand, the fire dragon left his palm and flew out directly, opening its hideous mouth full of sharp teeth, and charging mercilessly towards Thunder White with a terrifying heat that was difficult to match.
For the first time, Thunder White felt threatened by his life.
