Chapter 35: Combat Training Camp

This year, the first-year teachers have made a big splash in the academy. In the past, it was not uncommon for the first grade to participate in the actual combat training camp, usually one or two, but this year, there were as many as seven people, breaking the record of the first grade of the junior class. Of course, the most eye-catching is the fire system, because there are three people in the fire department.

The criteria for participating in the actual combat training camp are very simple, and you can only use a first-order magic. The three fire types are Ivan, Bill, and Clyde, Hudson of the earth type, one of the light system, one of the water system, and one of the wind system.

The camp starts in the last month of the warm season and lasts until the end of the semester. The end result is the assessment results of the main campus.

The number of people in the actual combat training camp is very large, most of the people in the third year can meet the conditions, and there will be many people in the second year, plus the repeaters of the previous age and seven first-year students. The total number of people reached 256

On the first day of the training camp, Will, the honorary dean of the college, delivered a speech. A large area of more than 250 people was pressed by the black, and it fell silent when Dean Will spoke.

"I am Will, the honorary dean of the college. I am glad that so many students are participating in our practical training camp today, which shows that our magic education is still doing well. ”

"But I would prefer that there will be so many trainees here after the training. The good news for you is that the training itself is an exam on the main campus. ”

"Why do we need to train in actual combat? Magicians have been fighting since ancient times, and magicians who can't fight are just a waste of resources, and there is no need to exist. Therefore, students who want to continue their studies in the academy should train hard. ”

"In addition, I will tell you the bad news, there is an elimination in training, and those who are eliminated will not be able to enter the main campus. ”

"Magicians are a combat profession, so death is inevitable, and embarking on the path of magic is destined to be accompanied by danger, and the training itself allows for accidents, so once you have thought about it, go all out. Thank you!"

Dean Will's speech was short and severe, and if you didn't get a good grade, you would be eliminated, and elimination would mean disqualification from entering the main campus. Although there is one more chance, no one wants to waste a year. And there is no next time for repeaters themselves.

It is said that it is actual combat training, but at the beginning, it was still a teacher's lecture, but it was no longer magic knowledge, but field knowledge.

Explanation of factors affecting the effect of magic, such as terrain and weather, explanation of common low-level magical beasts, advantages and disadvantages of various types of magic and complementarity of magic, and multi-directional knowledge teaching such as survival skills in the wild.

This part of the study took up to two weeks, with 256 students divided into five shifts, with first- and second-year students grouped together.

"Hey, you look like a freshman, and you're not in a big grade, you can't be a first-year, right? A teenager with strange green hair asked Hudson.

"You're amazing, how can you tell we're first-yearers?" Hudson responded.

"Awesome! I didn't expect you to be a first-year. Normally there are one or two a year, but this year there are three, which is amazing. My name is Chris, get to know me. ”

"My name is Hudson, but you said there were three, that's a mistake, there were seven of us, but the three of us were in the same room, so we sat together. Hudson superficially corrected the mistake, but in fact said it on display.

"It's unreasonable! You first-year students are so fierce, and you don't leave a way for the third-level to survive at all. I thought I was proud to be in my second year, but I'm a scumbag compared to you!" Chris said indignantly.

"Well, there is no harm if there is no comparison, you can compare with the third grade or repeater, then you can hurt them and comfort yourself. ”

Ivan patted Chris on the shoulder.

"It's a bit crooked, but it sounds very comfortable. Chris's mood quickly flipped and he started chatting with the three of them.

Through Chris Ivan, I learned that combat training is carried out in groups, in groups of five. This is due to the fact that the effectiveness of first-order magic varies from department to department, and the individual first-order magicians have little combat ability and often need to cooperate.

The teaching part of the training passed quickly, which was no different from the usual study, except that the exams after the teaching were more rigorous, and the score of each subject was 9 points. The full score is 10 points, and the exam is not specific to the subtle differences, only a whole score and a half score, and there is no breakdown. It is said that this is because the honorary dean believes that a small difference is not enough to distinguish between the good and the bad of the students.

The two-week teaching content is not particularly much, as long as you are smart or diligent, you can meet the requirements, after all, there is no comprehensible content. However, after the exam, 36 students were eliminated, and they did not know that the standard of the exam would be so different from normal days.

In fact, this is also an attitude test, and the teaching content may be related to the existence of names. When you are really faced with danger, reality will not let you pass because of your knowledge.

After two weeks, it is the group practice stage, where the teachers of the college will divide the students into groups according to the department. Maybe it's because Ivan, who is also a first-year, finds out that his teammates are all first-graders. Bill and Clyde were placed in other groups, and the remaining five were placed in one group.

"We're all in the first year, so it's a good thing to be grouped, so let me introduce myself first, I'm Hudson, a student of the Earth Department. Thank you for your advice. Hudson made an opening introduction.

"Wind trainee Keith, very high performance and team up with you. A teenager to Hudson's left introduced himself in order.

"Water cadet Lynn Waters, you can call me Lynn. A quiet girl introduced herself.

"Alice, a student of the Light Department, is honored to be a partner with you. Another beautiful girl with blond hair said.

Ivan and Hudson glanced at each other and confirmed that it was indeed the girl with two high-level qualifications.

"Fire trainee Ivan, please take care of me!" Ivan said simply, without mentioning his relationship with Hudson, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.

"Ivan...... You are the student of the third department who was rumored to be in the first place?" The girl named Lin remembered the rumor and asked Ivan directly for confirmation. There was a thick gossip brilliance in his eyes.

After she said this, the others seemed to think about it, and it seemed that there was indeed such a thing, but everyone took it as a joke and didn't care.

"I said Sister Lin, your memory is too good! I still remember after so long, why don't you always focus on learning. Ivan looked embarrassed, is it necessary to say this kind of thing?

"I have, otherwise how would I be qualified to come to the training? I'm not going to discuss your gossip, it's just that you're incredible. The three initiates are considered foolish by everyone, but you are actually qualified to participate in the training in the first year. Unbelievable, you're amazing!"

Several other people were also a little surprised when they heard it. After all, it's more like something out of the story.

"Wow, Ivan, you're so good, how many spells do you know now, can you let us know?" Hudson said, feigning surprise, as if he didn't know Ivan.

"I can only use the Fireball Technique and the Wind Light Technique, and the Lightning Strike Technique is too difficult to control, so I haven't mastered it yet. The three initiates were ashamed. Ivan spoke with a bit of shame, and the goal he set was not achieved after all.

"Ivan, you are too modest. If you say that, what if we're only one magical?"

Hudson said this, and several other people had some expressions on their faces.

"Okay, now that we've got a lot of introductions, I think we're going to have to choose a captain first. This is the first task of forming a team, otherwise it will be difficult for the training to be effective if everyone disagrees, and I think everyone will not be eliminated in the distance. Hudson brought up the topic of captaining and got the team on track.

Others nodded their heads in agreement. Seeing this, Hudson continued: "I am only proposing this for the good of everyone, and I have no other meaning, everyone is free to say it. Let me start with my opinion. I think Ivan has two magic spells, and he has the fire system of the main attack, so he is the most suitable to be the captain, and I am willing to choose him. ”

Ivan was speechless for a while, Hudson was so active that he thought he wanted to be the captain, but he didn't expect to give the ball to himself.

"I also think he's very powerful, and he can do a lot of magic, I agree!" Lynn directly agreed.

Hudson didn't expect such a good way, and it seems that the situation is very good.

"I have no opinion. Alice said calmly.

The next few people all looked at Keith, and Keith had a little hesitation on his face, after all, he was the last, and magic could be replaced by Ivan.

"I don't think people know each other well enough, so it's a bit inappropriate. Eventually, Keith got his thoughts out there.

"But we didn't have time to get to know each other slowly. The training will start right away, and we need to elect a conductor. Hudson retorted.

"But......" Keith felt a little reluctant, but didn't know what to say.

Seeing this situation, Ivan felt that it was better to get it done earlier. I didn't mean to be the captain, after all, it was just a trouble. But the training results determine whether he can enter the main campus, and Ivan feels that it is better to come by himself. Moreover, Hudson's hard-won opportunity could not be disappointed.

"Let me say a few words, Keith makes sense, and you are really not familiar with it. However, the election of a captain is also an imminent matter, and this captain has no other meaning except for the training performance. ”

"Since everyone is more inclined to me, I won't shirk it for the sake of efficiency. But training is everyone's business, and being able to get into the main campus is everyone's goal. So if you encounter a problem, you can discuss and solve it, and I won't force anything, but I hope you can understand each other. ”

Seeing that what Ivan said was more reasonable, Keith no longer objected. In this way, Ivan became the captain of the squad.
