Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Limits of Magic

Harold came home and lay on the soft bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

If it makes him uncomfortable for someone to secretly pay attention to him, it makes him uncomfortable to hear such a prophecy that seems to be closely related to him.

This kind of thing of being a caged bird in others, and having one's own life and experience controlled by some secret force, has endured enough in the previous world.

"It doesn't matter if it's some inexplicable prophecy or something else! If you want to build me another birdcage, even if you have the word 'god' in your name, you're going to chop it up. ”

Thinking so, Harold jumped up from the bed, crouched down, and pulled out a dark wooden box from under the bed.

Open the box, pull out a one-handed steel axe from it, and rest it next to the pillow.

Harold felt that placing an axe next to his pillow would help him fall asleep quickly.

However, he still miscalculated, and after a long time, Harold had his eyes fixed on the ceiling.

"Bastard, can't sleep! I still know too little information now, and I'll investigate it when I graduate, and then find the old guy who told prophetic poetry first. ”

The next morning, November 22, 1132 in the continental calendar, is the day when the eight-day long holiday ends.

Harold arrived at school in a drowsy winter coat, and by this time the weather in College City was already very cold, and he had not slept well at all last night. Harold simply picked a window seat in the back row, stacked the books in a stack to cover his head, and fell asleep on the table.

This morning was a four-class group, two classes of more than 100 people in the large classroom, and the course "Application of Magic" was taken by an old priest with a little flowery eyes, so Harold slept peacefully all morning.

At noon, when class ended, Harold, who was sleeping heavily, was woken up.

"What do you do every day?? It's just mixed up all day long, and you can actually pass the exam? Edith stood in front of Harold angrily, and the class had just ended at noon, and everyone else had gone to the dining room to eat, while Edith, a good student who had been sitting in the front row and taking notes carefully, trotted all the way to the back row to disturb Harold's clear dream.

Harold squinted at Edith for a moment, then turned his head away and muttered, "Where are you from?" ”

With a "snap", Harold felt something tap on his head.

He turned his head to find that Edith had just slapped her head with a notebook.

"At that time, thanks to you for saving us. It's because we owe you a favor for this hopeless guy, so you can take it and copy it. Edith pouted, reluctantly, as if she was very, very embarrassed to save the guy in front of her who she thought was "hopeless".

"Oh~, that favor is really not good~."

Seeing Edith's reluctant look, Harold deliberately stretched out his answer, and he flipped through the notebook with the pink cover.

Edith replied domineeringly: "You don't care, we can repay your favor as much as we want." ”

Harold touched the tip of his nose, and he didn't know the same thing as this girl.

Harold looked at the contents of the notebook, and he said, "Today is about the limit range of magic use, which is about a circle with a radius of sixty meters. ”

"Oh, so you know a little bit about it."

Harold smiled, closed the notebook, and placed it on the top of the stack on the table.

"When I was an adventurer with another person before, I heard about this rule, it is said that the effect of magic can only reach sixty meters, but some effects from the use of magic can exceed this range, such as the diffuse water 'mist' magic." As he spoke, Harold pulled out a bento from the table, and he held it in his hand and recited a short incantation, using fire-based basic magic to 'heat' the bento to raise the temperature.

"Why don't you go to dinner?" When Harold saw that Edith was still standing there, he wondered.

"Let's eat a bento box today. I see you eating alone every day, and I will accompany you once today. This is also a return of favors, don't get me wrong. Edith's chin lifted with a look of reluctance.

As she spoke, Edith took out a lunch box made of black ** crystal from behind her, a lunch box made of this material that could keep warm for a day as long as she used a little magic in the morning.

Harold's lunch box contained only a few rice dumplings and a few small dried fish.

Edith's lunch box is much richer, with sea urchin stir-fried milk and shrimp cakes, as well as some roasted beef and egg rolls.

Edith asked in surprise, "Are you going to eat this?" Aren't you still an adventurer with the Eagle Emblem? You should be able to make money quickly, huh? ”

"It's a quick money, but there's a lot more to spend. What's more, this area is the territory of the Pope, and the monsters with valuable parts on their bodies have been killed by the Punishment Knights, and only the low-level monsters that occasionally appear in the countryside are left for adventurers to play. Harold took a bite of the rice dumplings, which were filled with some dried vegetables.

Edith asked, "So why did you come to College City to go to school?" Feel.... Well, your personality and identity don't fit well here. ”

Harold stuffed the rice dumplings into his mouth in two bites, chewed the food in his mouth, and said vaguely, "Are you going to do the census again?" ”

"Hmph, if you don't want to answer, forget it." Edith rolled her eyes, closed her eyes, and turned away from him.

Harold smiled and shook his head: "It's just an agreement with a certain woman." ”

Edith opened her eyes and stared at Harold in a little surprise: "Woman? Conventions? ”

"It's like I saved you, and you always say you want to repay me now. At that time, it was that woman who had saved me, although it was not a life-saving grace, but it was almost there. I want to return that favor too. ”

She thought that I should come to College City for a quiet time in return, so I came. Although this way of returning the favor is a bit peculiar. ”

"Oh." Edith thought thoughtfully.

Harold picked up a second rice dumpling, only to be snatched by Edith.

"Hey!" Harold was a little angry, Edith he had known for more than a year, and for the first time he thought she was a bit too much.

I don't know if she's feeling unwell or what's wrong with her lately, it's better to try to scare herself every day.

"We've lost weight recently, you eat mine." Edith took a bite of the rice dumplings and commented, "Your cooking skills are not bad, it's a delicious diet meal." ”

Harold frowned, although he was very confident in his cooking skills, he could not make these humble ingredients delicious

Then he glanced at Edith's long, fleshless thighs and her breasts, which were just big enough to fill their hands.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you still need to lose weight? Isn't it just right? ”

Edith's eyes were confused for a moment, and then a flush rose on her face: "What is just ......, anyway, Lily has recently entrusted you with the blessing of being able to pretend to be her boyfriend, and finally you don't have to open the shoe cabinet every day There are a lot of love letters." ”

"Oh, that couldn't be better." Harold picked up a piece of roasted beef with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth, even now he still receives a bunch of love letters written by teenagers every once in a while, and Harold sorts up those papers, buys them as waste paper, and can exchange them for a lot of copper plates! It's one of the few good things that this face brings.

"Some places are undercooked, and some places are burnt. In particular, the sauce is spread unevenly. Harold chewed on the piece of roasted beef in his mouth, and his heart rated her cooking.

His eyes flickered over Edith, who was holding rice dumplings next to him, and the fingers of the girl's left hand were still plastered with a plaster to stop bleeding.

"This silly girl..... Actually, the first time I cooked, I was quite careful. Harold thought.

***********************************************

Most magic attacks have a distance limit of 60 meters, so in this day and age, there are fewer and fewer magicians who simply play magic with their wands.

After enchanting, it has become the choice of many magicians to use bows and arrows or muskets to expand the scope of magic effect.

In the past two hundred years, the popularization of basic education has given more people the opportunity to obtain basic magic and learn basic magic.

Therefore, ordinary soldiers on the mainland will also enchant musket bullets now, and only need to temporarily attach a basic wind magic to the bullet that is about to be fired, such as the basic magic of "small wheal", plus the power of the original musket bullet, it is enough to instantly smash the head of an adult wearing a helmet into pieces.

The pattern of war has also changed forever, and a steady stream of such cheap and useful enchanted musketeers have entered the battlefield, and simple magicians have long been unaccustomed to today's battlefield.

Therefore, the School of Magic and Wizardry of St. Philan established fighting classes, sword fighting classes and shooting classes at the beginning of the school.

Classes start at 1 p.m. today and end at 3:30 p.m., and today it's their turn to have their weekly martial arts class, and they'll use the big training hall on the west side of the academy.

Student A whispered, "Be sure to stay away from the two of them this time, I was hit by a popsicle released by Edith last week." ”

Student B said, "Be content." I heard that Edith is the daughter of the rancher of the Eastern Prairie Ranch, and Harona (the boys gave Harold a nickname in private, and it was a coincidence that Harold used it last time. It's even more unbearable, it is said that he used to be a mixed adventurer. They don't have any good tutors, and they have a personal vendetta, do you expect them to fight like knights throwing white gloves? ”

Student C also came to participate in the conversation: "Alas, our St. Philan Academy only recruited aristocratic students thirty years ago, and since it was changed to property certification, all kinds of strange characters have come in. For example, our current student council president, Rektaran Ramier, is said to be the son of the big joke 'waste prime minister' in the Western Empire more than 20 years ago, and he is no longer a nobleman. ”

Student Ding also came in and said, "Don't care about the Western Empire!" Don't you think two beautiful women fight very ornamentally? It's actually quite comfortable to be hit by an ice cube, and it's not in vain that Hrona can kick me. ”

Student B and Student C said in unison, "You pervert, stay away from us." You know, Hallona is a boy! ”

Student A coughed softly: "Actually, I also think that if Harona were a girl, she would probably be the most beautiful girl in our college, and Edith's appearance is also cold and glamorous, which is a little inferior to the same cold and glamorous Harona." Maybe that cute girl named Lilina in the first grade can be compared to Harona, oh, it seems that the girl named Lilina has become Hallona's girlfriend! ”

Student Ding said in surprise: "Haronana?!" You're also a member of the Harold Nana Underground Knights! Oh, it's a blessing, it's a blessing. ”

"Friend!" Student A nodded firmly, his hands clasped tightly.

"Two.... Two perverts! The other two were sweating on their foreheads.

"You're talking nonsense, and the pair we're talking about have come over. Hey? How do you feel that their atmosphere is a little weird right now. ”

Both Harold and Edith came over in martial arts training suits, and it is worth mentioning that Harold would never go to the boys' locker room every time he changed clothes, and no one knew exactly where he slipped to change clothes.

They were walking towards the old place where they used to fight, the northwest corner of the large training hall. Harold is telling Edith a story he heard during his years as an adventurer.

“..... The archer, Artemis, was the man of the sixth war against the elves more than two hundred years ago. He hooked up with a countess in the Southern Kingdom and climbed onto the lady's bed. ”

"You don't... Don't say it so bluntly! Edith blushed.

"It's a romantic elopement with a countess who is unhappy in her marriage." Harold smiled slightly, and really put it another way.

Then the Earl was furious, recruited five magicians, and led more than a hundred soldiers to capture Artemis. In the middle of the valley, Artemis used a stratagem to disconnect the five mages who lacked physical exercise. Then, taking advantage of the limit of the magic shooting distance of 60 meters, it took three hours and more than 80 bows and arrows to successfully shoot the five magicians. ”

"That's when pure magicians began to retire."

"That's why you say you're a melee mage? It's true that your magic is terrible, but you're not bad! ”

"I am very grateful for your sincere compliments on me. But can you stop mentioning that magic sucks? Harold scratched his hair.

"Haha! It's just sucking, it's sucking! Rotten! Rotten! Edith finally seized the opportunity to fight back against Harold, and she seemed very happy. But, speaking of which, why don't you use a musket? ”

"Well, this old-fashioned fire....... Seriously, I don't feel like the musket is quite my style. ”

Harold walked to the open space in the northwest corner of the large training hall before Edith and stood firmly.

"You just said that you want me to teach you the martial arts I use, but the posture may not be too elegant when you really fight for a while, are you sure you want to learn it?" Harold smiled and spread his hands.

"We have to learn, and after we learn it, we can teach you a good lesson, you nasty guy."

"Ah, hearing you say that, I really don't want to teach now."

"Are you scared? Or not a man?! Edith's voice was a little loud, which directly attracted the eyes of the surrounding melon-eating crowd.

"Alright! You're a general! Harold was reluctant, his feet parted and he stood firmly.

The fists are clenched, the elbows are facing Edith, and the muzzles of the fists are facing the face.

"It appeared, and this was the usual starting hand of Haronana, as if whenever there was time for this starting hand, he would put it up seriously. Alas, it seems that the hatred between him and Edith has increased again. Someone on the periphery whispered.

Harold looked into Edith's blue eyes with his eyes, and he whispered, "Edith." You remember, I'm going to demonstrate this martial arts technique called 'Krav Maga', and I've improved some of my own moves. I hope this set of martial arts can help you in the future! ”
