Chapter Eighty-Eight: End of School
The practice class went very well, with more than half of the students successfully defeating a level 3 goblin under the guidance of Sivi.
The other students failed to pass either because their magic was too weak or because they were unlucky enough to draw a goblin spellcaster.
Although the magic of goblin casters is much weaker than that of ordinary mages, unless there is a chant exemption type of magic item like Alyssa, these first-year students will have to chant even if they want to release magic missiles.
Goblin casters, on the other hand, can't do it instantaneously, but they usually only need to scream or quack for the like with secondary fireballs, which is obviously much faster than the students' chants of at least three or four syllables.
Therefore, many students are not without the ability to defeat each other, but they are often interrupted by the other party before they can finish singing, and then fall into a state of being suppressed by the opponent's firepower.
Sophia has to be mentioned here.
She was one of the few students to defeat a goblin spellcaster, and she only used a magic missile.
Unlike some of the more combat-minded students who used movement and spell casting skills, Sophia simply discarded the power of the magic missile, and the spell was simplified and quickly chanted, coupled with the powerful control of her magic, so that the magic missile bypassed the front of the goblin caster, giving it a hard blow to the back of the head.
After the other party was stunned, she seized the opportunity to catch a magic missile with a complete spell, and easily finished off the goblin spellcaster.
Simplifying spells is not a secret, and many of these materials can be easily found in libraries. However, this simplification at the cost of reducing the power of magic has made it an extremely unpopular existence in the library, so except for Sophia, who has a lot of tastes, not many people really know about the existence of this kind of simplification spell.
Originally, in this world dominated by elemental magic, the measure of a magician's excellence was to see how powerful he mastered magic. It's not that there aren't scientific talents, but it's obviously easier to become a good fort than to become an academic magician who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable about astronomy and geography......
It wasn't until all the students who were already able to use magic practiced a battle that Sivi took the goblin's duel invitation box back to his space.
The reason why Sylvy redeemed this thing wasn't just for fun or to show off in front of the students - although the ten achievements were a bit expensive, the Crusade Level 9 Goblin could still be used as a meat shield for a while. In addition, the magic power consumed by summoning is not large, and with this kind of Mine Detection Death Squad, the danger of future dungeons will be much less.
"Magicians possess powerful and mysterious magic, but many times we are vulnerable. That's why you need a class like a magic swordsman to be in front as a mage, so that you can chant magic with peace of mind. However, there will inevitably be times when we have to face the enemy alone, so combat skills and experience are very important at that time. Sivi earnestly explained the significance of the lesson to the students, and then he smiled very kindly: "And don't you think it's better to have the ability to face the enemy alone than to keep behind others?"
When had the students of the School of Magic ever been incited by a professor in such an agitated tone?
The crowd suddenly let out a buzzing commotion, both men and women were generally in agreement, and some of the more enthusiastic boys shouted loudly and directly, yes, the magician is the strongest, so we don't need to be behind others
Seeing that his words had achieved an effect beyond imagination, Sivi nodded with satisfaction. …,
After he corrected a few more mistakes that were common in battle, the bell rang again. Outside, the sound of the castle's two bell towers was louder than usual. However, compared to the boring classes in the past, when students were looking forward to the end of class, now they are full of unfinished business.
Even those students who did not attend the first class felt the sense of accomplishment that had been imprinted in their bodies through practice.
It's like playing a game, if a player keeps fighting monsters and even if his experience points skyrocket, but he doesn't have any hints to level up, and he can't see his level, then his enthusiasm for the game will cool down to freezing point with the monotonous repetition day after day.
However, if there is a hint of leveling up, and each level will clearly make him feel different, the sense of accomplishment that will be rewarded through his own efforts will make him want to stop, and the sense of superiority that can despise the lower level players and the aggressiveness to catch up with the higher level players will constantly whip him and make him addicted.
Sivi knew very well that what he wanted to do was not to let these students continue to accumulate experience points, but to turn their experience into levels, so that they could see their growth step by step, and always keep their eyes on the next level that was not far from them and within reach.
When they suddenly turn back later, maybe they will find that they have come so far on the path of magic before they know it......
In short, after Xiwei announced the end of class, not only did no one leave, but many students begged Xiwei to continue to speak for a while.
"Eating and taking a lunch break are also an important part of learning magic." In the face of the students' request, Xiwei did not immediately refuse or accept it, but said seriously: "A good work and rest time is a must for a magician, so as to lay a good foundation for his body, and in many cases, a healthy body is a very important asset. You don't want to suffer from a strange illness like coughing that you can't even chant a mantra, do you? ”
Under Sivi's admonition, the students reluctantly left the square and went to the auditorium for lunch.
"Teacher, thank you for your hard work." Alyssa did not leave together in the crowd, but sensibly ran to comfort Sivi.
"Well, I'm okay...... Thanks, Tio. Sivi nodded at Elisa, then took the towel that Theo had given him with one hand and wiped his sweat, and touched the little girl's head with the other.
It's spring harvest time now, and the weather isn't hot, but Sivi has been outside for so long, and he has to constantly inject mana into the goblin's duel invitation box when he lectures to students, although his total mana is nothing, but he also sweats a lot.
Theo's eyes narrowed, enjoying Sivi's petting like a kitten. Alyssa looked at Theo with some envy.
Just as the three of Xiwei's master and apprentice were enjoying this moment, a girl's voice interjected.
"So you're a teacher." Sophia stared at Sivi and said in a complicated tone.
"Yo, Sophia~" Sivi beckoned to her, which made his stroke of Theo end early, and also made the little guy look at Sophia with some hostility: "I did a good job just now, especially the control of that magic missile." ”
"Of course." The girl was not proud, but said in a reasonable tone: "After all, it is a simplified spell, and the difficulty of control has also been reduced along with the consumption of mana. Compared to this ......" The girl looked at Sivi a little strangely: "Could it be that you have been coming to the library for the past few days just to collect materials for classes?" ”
"Almost~" Sivi shrugged his shoulders, in fact, many of the precautions he talked about in the face of goblins in today's class were seen from the book that the girl recommended to him yesterday.
"Teacher, do you know each other?" Alyssa looked at Sophia and asked Sivi.
"Well, this is Sophia, the librarian? Miss Lange & Söhne...... Wait, A. Lange & Söhne? Sivi suddenly noticed that the wizard's hat showed Sophia's last name.
The girl's expression on her face, have you only noticed it now, obviously I had already called her full name in class before......
"Forget it, it's not a big deal." But before Sophia could say anything, Sivi regained her previous expression, and then said to the girl, "Do you have any reservations for your lunch break?" Like organizing books or something? ”
"It was only done at night. And there were other librarians there during the lunch break. ”
The girl replied, but then she looked at Sivi suspiciously, "Why are you asking this?" ”
"Please eat...... Well, and I want you to do me a favor during my lunch break. Sivi showed a mysterious smile: "Alyssa and Theo are coming too~"
