Chapter 160: Surprise

Although a spellcaster of the same realm, in fact, to a certain extent, it is indeed a powerful combat power higher than that of melee characters of the same realm.

However, in this world, spellcasters are much rarer than melee characters.

As a result, most spellcasters tend to be protected by a large number of teammates at all times, and then apply buffs to teammates from afar, or perform large-scale attacks with ranged spells.

Hardly any mage will personally engage in the most direct and dangerous battles.

Therefore, Taylor's sudden remark that he wanted a group of the most talented Academy of Magic freshmen to engage in a head-on battle that they had never imagined was indeed an unfolding that no one had expected.

But Taylor, who gave this order, was obviously not joking with the students in the first order.

Seeing a hint of confusion flashing on everyone's faces, Taylor also added again:

"I don't know, though, what kind of stereotypes each of you have about the caster. But I must tell you that among the educational reforms that the college wants to implement, in addition to the innovation of teaching methods, it is more important...... It is also about the subversion of the fundamental positioning of the caster. ”

"Even if you stubbornly believe that mages must fight under the protection of melee characters. But the enemy who really wants to kill you must do what you want?"

Tyler said this, silently looking at Ilven beside him.

Seeing this, Ilven immediately understood, and lightly took out a report on the past battle damage, and read this real data from the federal military to such a mocking reading:

"Thirty-two years ago, a large-scale border conflict between the Federation and the Tianzhu Three Kingdoms led to a months-long confrontation between the two garrison corps. A total of 137 mages above the middle character level were invested in this battle, and 49 survived after the battle. Thirteen people were killed in the group encounter, and the rest were killed by enemy knights under a surprise attack. ”

According to the data in Ilven's hands, in the war thirty-two years ago, there were actually only a dozen mages who were actually killed between the two armies.

Most of the losses have occurred in raids that were not protected by teammates.

"The fact that the caster is physically inferior is something that no one can change. But correspondingly, the true attack strength of all spellcasters has never been higher than that of knights of the same realm. ”

"And the reason why the caster will be attacked and killed by the knight is actually only because almost all the caster characters have become accustomed to having to be protected by others. Once they leave a sufficiently safe environment, they will not be able to use even the attack methods they already have. ”

"So today's Academy of Magic...... I won't create that kind of fool who has no power to protect himself!"

......

Elevan's words instantly convinced every student in the first sequence.

After all, no matter how gorgeous the truth is, after all, it is not as worthy of soberness as everyone's own life.

And as the tasks of each class were confirmed, the seven seats of the academy Taylor at this time once again triggered the alchemy under the Mystery Square, and once again opened the way to the underground.

In fact, the space under the academy was far larger than Su Mu and the others imagined.

The place where all the freshmen practiced casting yesterday was just one of many separate areas underground.

At this moment, when Taylor once again led the students into the interior of the Hanging Mountain.

Whether it is the practice area where the fourth and fifth sequence classes will go, or the magic suppression space prepared for the third sequence class, or the practice room that will be used by the first and second sequences.

All the rooms are presented in front of everyone's eyes one by one in the constant change of the Karakuri passage.

Even according to the size of the hanging mountain in Su Mu's memory, Su Mu had even begun to doubt it deeply...... Could it be that the academy plans to build the entire interior of the Hanging Mountain into all kinds of strange spaces?

However, Su Mu's thoughts have not yet had time to be verified.

At present, the first series of classes, which have attracted the most attention from the tutors, have been personally led by the three tutors to a tall and spacious practice room.

In the center of the practice room is a large area of sand that acts as a training ground to slow down the impact.

On all sides, there is a circle of stands slightly higher than the center, so that the rest of the observers can clearly see the fighting situation of everyone in the battlefield.

And Su Mu also noticed that on the surrounding stands, there was also a similar alchemy operation table.

Obviously, under this sandy land, there are also mechanisms that cannot be detected.

And as everyone was in their respective positions, Ilvan, a former soldier who was most familiar with the battle, did not hesitate to step forward and announce the specific rules of the exercise:

"The first part of the practice is to familiarize yourself with the magic you are good at, and to understand the basic details of what to do. So in this phase, you'll randomly team up in pairs and play against other teams in a round-robin battle. ”

"Only after each of you has the most basic combat qualities can you continue to carry out further combat training. ”

However, Ilven's words had just fallen, and among the thirty-three students in the room, there were as many as thirty in an instant, and they all looked at the remaining three with a little expectation and a slight embarrassment.

Needless to say, even in the first order of classes, it is not actually relatively balanced in terms of strength.

The three Su Mu at the top, two of them were able to successfully cast medium-level magic, and the remaining one also touched the threshold of the medium-level level, and they could also summon two kinds of rule representations at the same time.

From any point of view, as long as you become a teammate with one of these three, you are undoubtedly stronger than most combinations on the field.

But the situation that the students could think of, Eleven had obviously thought about it for a long time.

So Ilven's next sentence directly erased this possibility:

"Now there are only 30 people who need to fight in groups, from the fourth to the thirty-third. As for the top three students, who are clearly superior to everyone else in all aspects, they will have an even more unexpected surprise. ”

As soon as Ilven's words fell, the door of this secret training room located inside the Hanging Mountain was suddenly pushed open again.

Then a figure dressed in a plain power suit also walked in under the leadership of the academy workers.

And what surprised Su Mu even more was that Su Mu happened to know the identity of this figure, because this person was ...... The general of the Storm Legion who once garrisoned the fortress of Kabat, Winster!

And Winster entered the training hall, and after seeing Su Mu with a surprised face, he smiled at Su Mu with a slight smugness.

It seems that he has already understood that he will definitely see Su Mu again on this trip.

So in Winster's weird smile at the moment, after seeing that this so-called "surprise" had appeared on its own, Eleven even added:

"Winster, a middle-level seventh-order transformation knight, was once attached to the Storm Legion, one of the four major legions. Now the college is temporarily seconded to the military as a special teaching assistant of the college to assist the new students in their actual combat learning. ”

When Ilven said this, his gaze had already withdrawn from Winster's body again, and it steadily flowed to the faces of Su Mu and the others.

Then he also said softly the decision that made all the other students envious and afraid:

"The top three students, the opponents that the academy has prepared for you are the ones who are the special teaching assistants of the academy...... Middle-level seventh-order knight, Winster!"
