Chapter 40: The Battle for Places (1)
"Hahaha!"
Rumble!
The basin-sized fireball had just formed in his fingertips, and before the mage could remember to launch it, his expression suddenly froze, and then he laughed like a maniac. The tragedy of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info was that the uncontrolled fireball was detonated in an instant, accompanied by a loud bang, and the raging flames instantly engulfed him.
The surrounding students were silent for a while, and when the smoke cleared, the mage lying on the ground covered in scorched marks showed his true face, and the applause suddenly surged like a wave.
Ryan followed the crowd and couldn't help but applaud as well. Tasha's laughter is a spell that affects the mind, and the will of a mid-level mage is much higher than that of a beginner mage, and it is generally difficult to work, but again, Sophia's will is beyond the mage's expectations, and she did not expect that after she broke free from immobilization, she would take advantage of the last hurdle of her fireball spell to make it difficult.
You must know that because of everyone's different understanding of spells, there is a certain gap in the casting time, but Sophia can rely on Tasha's laughter to achieve the effect of counterspells, and it is impossible to generalize with talent alone.
"What to do? Ryan, I seem to be in love! Grabbing Ryan's sleeve, Pattry's face flushed with excitement, "Damn! This is the first time I've seen a junior win in a quiz since I entered Fort Shinestar! โ
"Patrick, your saliva is about to come out." Seeing that the boy was eager to remove his arm, Ryan felt helpless and amused.
"She's seen it! She's seen it! He didn't pay any attention to Ryan's disdain, and saw Sophia put her eyes on this side, and his sweet smile almost suffocated him.
Nodding at Sophia, Ryan didn't mean to hit Patrice at this time, after all, he was a teenager in estrus, oh no, puberty...
As Patrick said, there was nothing new in the whole test, and while Sophia surprised everyone, it seemed to focus the attention of the sluggish fourth-year mages, and almost all the students in the test were bombarded indiscriminately, making the number of qualified students much smaller than before.
Soon after stopping at the test venue, Ryan lost interest in continuing to watch, the test is not allowed to use protective spells, after all, it is a group of people who have brushed the ancient Grim Reaper, and watching a group of mages use low-level spells to fight against each other is really not educational for Ryan.
Patrick next to him stared at Sophia in the distance, his eyes were about to fall, Ryan shook his head, didn't bother him, silently stepped back, and quickly left the scene.
Lancedell didn't know what he was doing lately, didn't cause damage to the lab, and hadn't even seen Ryan since the day he was given the permit.
Ryan had just pushed open the door of the laboratory, and after a brief glance, he found that it was still the same as usual, with no signs of being ruined, and the half-elf shook his head and was about to close the door and leave, but he was almost jumped up in fright by the sound coming from behind him.
"Ryan ... How? Surprised to see me? โ
Ryan turned his body violently, his back pressed against the door, and habitually put his hands on his waist, but he felt empty, and when he saw the person clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course not, mentor." โ
Lancedel gave him a smirk, and took out something from his dimensional pouch: "This is the first-year course permit. โ
Glancing at the dimensional bag, Ryan secretly swallowed his saliva, picked up the envelope sealed with the arcane seal, and looked at Lancedell suspiciously: "You're going to let me go to class?" โ
"Class? Ha ha! With a chuckle, Lancedell had a disdainful expression on his face, "Teaching in Shining Star Castle is nothing more than that, and classes are nothing more than a waste of time. โ
"That..." Pointing to the letter in his hand, Ryan couldn't guess his intentions.
"The harvest festival is just around the corner, and the monsters of Sambia and the valley that hide in the wilderness are in action. A month later, Shining Star Castle will send excellent mages to support those small towns, and actual combat is the best teacher, and there are ten places in the first year. You know what I mean? Lancedel's gaze was flat, but there was a hint of irreversible momentum in his voice.
"Understood." Nodding heavily, Ryan was not afraid, he had gained too little experience in the past two months, he had long been looking forward to such an opportunity, even if Lancedel didn't say it, he would definitely do his best.
Satisfied with Ryan's attitude, Lancedell left with a word: "Remember, it's only one month, don't let me down." โ
"Enough!" Looking at the Ranger class, which can be promoted to the third level in one step from the experience bar, Ryan's eyes seem to be burning.
โโโโโโ Split โโโโโโ
The courses at Shining Star Castle are more focused on magic applications and alchemy, scrolls, and magic item making, and it is not impossible to simply improve the knowledge of spells, but it is too general. It's no wonder that Lancedell would say it's a waste of time...
Of course, this is also a bit of a rhetoric, and the benefits of the Shining Star Castle course are more reflected in the future, which has the same as the world's cramming education. However, it is indeed too long, and it is simply torture for Ryan, who wants to improve his strength quickly.
Coupled with the fact that he had to prepare for the upcoming battle for a spot, Ryan spent much more time skipping class than class time in order to add to his hole cards.
"You see, that is the mage who entered the first year at the same time as you, and it seems to be called, Watson Trau. It's a moon elf who has been with Archmage Yagemar for almost a year. โ
"The one who spoke to him was only a few days later than you, his name was Kmรกs, and he was very mysterious, and I haven't heard anything about him until now. They are all the mentor's favorite apprentices, and their strength can completely crush ordinary first-year students. โ
"The battle will start tomorrow, and they will be your fierce rivals."
Today's lesson is finally over, and Patrie, who is beside Ryan, keeps chattering. The half-elf glanced at the two men in the hallway, who also happened to turn their heads to look.
As Ryan walked down the hallway, the distance between the three of them grew closer.
Feeling the stronger and stronger smell of gunpowder, Patri's heart beat more and more violently, and the faster and faster popping sound gradually became clear in his ears.
However, Ryan ignored the two of them in the slightest, and walked towards the stairs downstairs with his feet raised.
"Please wait a minute." Seeing this, the blonde boy named Kemas immediately stopped Ryan.
"Huh? Do I know you? Still thinking about the spell he was learning, Ryan seemed impatient.
"Don't you know each other now?" He didn't care, the blonde boy still maintained an elegant smile, "Hello, my name is Kmรกs." โ
His bright blonde hair and handsome face make him look noble, but his approachable smile makes people feel friendly. However, this set is not very useful for Ryan, who used to use this formulaic smile for the sake of life, and he has seen it too much. And generally speaking, strangers show this kind of smile, and the meaning behind it is nothing more than so many, consumption, consumption and consumption...
Nodding to Kmรกs, Ryan didn't say much, silently looking at the Moon Elf boy who was slightly higher than himself. Watsontrau had short refined silver-white hair, long pointed ears that extended beyond the back of his head, and his blue eyes looked very charming, looking at Ryan who was approaching, the meaning of contempt was self-evident. Unlike Ryan's impression of the Moon Elves, Watsontra's robes are incomparably delicate, deliberately cared for, and covered with shiny embellishments.
"When did the Moon Elves start playing with humans?" Although Watson Trau is full of aristocratic temperament under this outfit, it feels a little nondescript compared to Ryan's memory, coupled with the condescending eyes of the moon elf, Ryan also laughed unceremoniously.
Kemas next to him stiffened his smile and focused on the Moon Elf. Watsontrau heard Ryan laughing at him, and his brows immediately tightened, like a stimulated beast, gritting his teeth and about to speak, but was interrupted by Kramas: "Ryan, this is your fault, in Shining Star Castle, we are all family." โ
"Isn't that right? Am I saying the wrong thing again? Turning his head to look at Patrie, who was so nervous that he was almost able to take a sweat bath, hearing Ryan's question, Patrick reflexively responded, Ryan seemed to react, "Well, in that case, I'd better talk less." โ
As soon as the words fell, as if lamenting his low communication skills, he shook his head and walked down the stairs. Patrice was a little baffled, but since Ryan was gone, he didn't have the idea of staying, and hurriedly followed.
Looking at the backs of the two of them disappearing around the corner, the color in Kemaz's eyes kept changing.
"This bastard, I'm going to rip his mouth apart!"
"It's just an idiot, you don't have to worry about it." Seeing Watsontrau's indignant appearance, Kemath patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "Don't care about others, adjust your mentality, she's coming soon." โ
Hearing this, Watsontrau took a deep breath, reached out and patted the dust that did not exist on the placket of his clothes, and suddenly a cold and elegant voice came from behind him.
"Watsontrau, when did you start learning the human set?" Hearing words from behind him that were almost indistinguishable from Ryan's mockery, Watson Dry froze and turned stiffly.
The long silky white hair reaches to the waist, the light black eyes look very noble, the long pointed ears are playful and lovely under the cover of the silver hair, and the delicate facial features seem to be a beautiful picture, even if the face is expressionless, it also has an indescribable beauty.
"Cecilia!"
