Act XLV. Reiner's Fireball Technique
President Daniel's face immediately darkened.
The price of this device is not cheap, the Torondo Magic Association is only equipped with two, if it breaks, it will have to go to the Rainbow Tower to spend money to apply for a replacement, thinking about this year's budget situation, President Daniel has a few drops of sweat on his forehead.
"Yes, I'm sorry."
Dana hurriedly bowed her head and apologized.
"Is something wrong?"
The mage in charge of the communication outside poked his head in and asked, his eyes wide.
"It's just a little surprise, don't make a fuss."
President Daniel said this, but he also hurriedly stood up and walked over to the obsidian slab, reaching out and caressing the crack.
The crack was located above the slab, about half a yard from the edge to the center, and was noticeably dented to the touch, but fortunately it was not deep, only a shallow one.
President Daniel cast a simple one-ring spell to test the functionality of the obsidian tablet, and the results were not too different, and they should be able to make do with it.
"It's okay, it's okay."
The old man glanced at Dana, who was shivering, before clearing his throat and saying.
"Uh, it's okay, it's normal for an apprentice to fail to cast a spell."
This is considered an accident, and it is naturally impossible for President Daniel to ask Dana for compensation, anyway, since it can still be improvised, it should not be a problem to survive this mock exam.
One can only hope that the apprentices in the future will use less offensive magic.
Shaking his head, President Daniel let Dana out of the room and back to his place, neatly recording the words "failing" on the report card.
The next few dozen minutes of testing took no chances, until a young man walked into the room.
"Good afternoon, Master Mage, I'm Reiner. Ian Gray. ”
Reiner's steady steps kept the attention of all three judges on him.
Rupert had already spoken to Reiner before, and at this point, he suppressed the admiration in his heart, cleared his throat, and quickly turned his gaze back to the data sheet on the table.
Millie had already heard about the young Hohenheim Gold Cup winner, looked up and down, and her first impression was that this young man was indeed quite handsome, and she didn't know if she was married, otherwise her niece could introduce him.
President Daniel, who had seen a lot of strong winds and waves, looked indifferent at the moment, and he confirmed Reiner's admission ticket, and then asked.
"What spell are you going to cast?"
"Fireball."
Reiner replied that he had read the exam room manual and knew that if he was casting an offensive spell, he would have to cast it on the obsidian slab in the room, and turned to face the heavy slab.
There were slight scratches on the rustic stone slabs, and at the top, a crack that was clearly new was clearly visible.
It is said that this stone tablet can absorb most of the power of magic, but I don't know what the principle is?
Reiner put away the idea of buying an obsidian slab to study at home and raised his hand.
For a moment, the faces of the three judges present changed slightly.
He's managed to engrave spells into his heart lake?
Although such examples are not uncommon, this is the first time I have seen them in this exam, you must know that the vast majority of apprentices will probably start to try to engrave spells into their hearts between the second and third mock exams, in order to seek stability, and there are very few like Reiner.
Without giving the three judges more time to think, a little flame was already lit from Reiner's fingertips.
It's just that it's not a dazzling bright yellow crimson, but an eerie pale blue.
"...... this?"
President Daniel felt a sudden surge of uneasiness.
The ice-blue flame rapidly expanded in an instant, turning into a dazzling ball of brilliant fire, and the scorching wind made all the mouths dry, and the huge power that could be felt was converging.
"Wait ......"
Before President Daniel's words of dissuasion could be heard, a loud bang tore through the air and spread.
Boom –
The magically reinforced window glass shattered in an instant, and Rupert tried to open the walls, but the wind had swept through the trio, blowing their robes into disarray.
For a moment, the whole room was in shambles, the result of the turbulence of the air caused by the high temperature and the leakage of too much power.
The grizzled President Daniel looked up, trying to confirm Reiner's condition.
But the first thing that catches your eye is the obsidian slab that has been torn apart.
“......”
For a moment, it was as if a hundred bison were running wildly in President Daniel's mind, and he hurried over to the side of the obsidian slab shard, crouching down to check on the situation.
"Uh, sorry."
Reiner shrugged, he didn't expect his fireball technique to be so powerful, although he had probably learned that the hydrogen-based fireball technique was much more destructive than the ordinary standard fireball technique during the previous test, but he didn't expect that the obsidian slab used for testing would disintegrate because it couldn't bear it.
He also deliberately reduced the power when casting, and only exerted about seventy percent.
"I didn't think this would happen......"
“......”
After confirming the condition of the obsidian slab, President Daniel was ready to cry.
Reiner did successfully cast the fireball technique, and the three judges clearly saw the picture of the fireball hitting the obsidian slab just now, but where was the normal fireball technique, the obsidian slab that could withstand the direct hit of the spell below the three rings actually shattered in the blink of an eye!
Chairman Daniel checked the condition of the obsidian slab, there were no scorch marks on the slab from the flames, and from the cross-section, the cause of its shattering was the overflow of energy inside, which normally would only be caused by the slab absorbing more energy than its limit.
In other words, the destructive power unleashed by Reiner's "Fireball Technique" has surpassed the standard three-ring spell.
"The price of an obsidian slab is fifty gold coins, and if you count the cost of transportation and assembly, it is ......"
President Daniel was completely immersed in calculating the damage, and he muttered to himself as if nothing mattered anymore.
According to the provisions of the Mage Apprentice Protection Act, the apprentice is not liable for the damage caused by an accident during the magic test, so Daniel has no way to let Reiner compensate for it, and more importantly, it is not Reiner's spell casting error, but simply that the obsidian slab can't withstand Reiner's fireball.
"President?"
Rupert shook President Daniel's shoulder, and it was only then that the old man recovered from his loss.
Glancing at Reiner with an innocent expression again, President Daniel shook his head and sighed, Crescent Academy has not taken a mock exam for so many years, and this is the first time to participate, it will make some big news.
"Let them bring the spare obsidian slab, and the exam continues, as for you, Reiner. Ian Gray ......"
Reluctantly glancing at the obsidian slab that had worked diligently for several years, President Daniel had mixed feelings in his heart, but he still spoke.
"You should have passed the test, get out."
