Chapter 32: Under the Sacred Tree (6)

Carrying a double fireball technique head-on, even if the elf's physique is far superior to that of a human, he will definitely not be able to run away with serious injuries. No matter how outstanding the elves' attainments in potions are, it will take at least a month to get out of bed.

The extremely short distance meant that the attacker had no chance to recite complex magic, and even simple defensive magic was extremely time-sensitive. Under strong mental pressure, it is very easy to make mistakes. And once you make a mistake, you will take a solid blow, and there will be no chance of counterattack.

This is a nightmare for the average elven mage. However, this is only for the average elven mage.

If it were up to Andrew, he would have at least thirty ways to deal with it, and more than fifty magic could deal with it perfectly. This is especially true for Amos, who is a magician. Although he was far less experienced than Andrew in magical dueling, he was still capable of dealing with such contingencies.

However, this is only theoretical. Just because it can be done in theory doesn't mean it can be done in practice. On the line between life and death, many things can change.

At that moment, the scorching air rushed into his face, and all that was left in Amos' sight was a dazzling flame. His beard floated slightly in the fluctuating currents, and his mind went blank.

The breath was already being held, and the heart was beating violently. Among the countless methods, he instantly chose the worst, but also the safest, method - activate his talisman ring.

It was his talisman ring as his ultimate means of defense, a sixth-order magic item, something that could only be used when he was cornered. He didn't even use it once. After all, the only person who can force a magician into this situation, apart from other magicians, is probably a priest. Either way, they are all very important among the elves, and it is impossible for nothing to come and duel him.

The dazzling red light exploded from the ring in an instant, and everyone's eyes were a dazzling red sรจ.

A red shield spread out from his body with a violent air current, not only bouncing back the fireball that was coming towards him, but also crushing the triple shield technique he had cast himself.

Angel, who was not far from him, was directly bounced out, and the onlookers couldn't even open their eyes, and they fell back and forth one by one......

After a few moments, the fire dissipated along with the red light.

Fallen leaves burned silently on the ground, and wisps of smoke rose up.

Amos stood dumbfounded, unscathed, a little overwhelmed.

The onlookers were stunned.

Angel lay quietly not far away, lying in a large shape, staring blankly at the sky.

After the violent fluctuations, the whole world is silent.

The wind blew softly, kicking up the dust.

Everyone's eyes widened and they silently looked at Angel, who was lying on the ground, motionless. Including Amos.

The apprentices who have not yet entered the school have forced out the last life-saving magic weapon of the magician...... At this moment, no one knows what to say.

At this moment, no one doubted whether Angel was suitable for studying magic.

Time ticked by.

Someone whispered, "The shield is broken...... In this way, is he considered to have been accepted?"

"But the shield was broken by the Amos Magus himself, not by him...... And the Amos Magus was not hurt. โ€

"But the Amos Magus even used the talisman ring. โ€

"At first, the Amos Magus didn't say that he couldn't use other magic, let alone that he couldn't trigger the talisman ring. โ€

"It's not fair, it's so unfair. If the Amos Magus could use other magic, even a talisman ring, who could break his triple shield?

Someone couldn't help but shake their heads: "This was not a fair exam from the beginning, and it was not fair from the beginning." I didn't even understand why he was taking such an exam, and he was desperately trying to pass the ......"

Yes, no one understands. But Angel himself understands that he must pass this exam and there is no second way to go.

After a while, he wiped his face and slowly stood up on the ground.

His hair was messy, and his clothes were scorched, the result of being affected by the fireball. Although the hair and eyebrows were not ignited, they were all cooked by the heat, and they were clinging to their cheeks. With a single touch, it all falls off.

He probably hasn't been so embarrassed in his life.

"Perhaps......" the devil whispered in his ear, "maybe you don't have to go to school. Even if you only have your brother's notes, you can learn very well. Just like now, you can outperform the vast majority of magic apprentices. โ€

"But in that case, I won't be able to prove myself. There's no way to prove yourself in front of your parents, and there's no way to prove yourself in front of Snow...... I...... Be sure to prove yourself. Be sure to ...... Prove yourself ......"

Constantly silently, as if to encourage himself or hypnotize himself, he walked alone, step by step, limping. His knees were already dripping with blood, and his trouser legs were torn.

The breeze blew and lifted up the ash that had fallen to the ground, spreading like waves across the wide training ground.

Everyone was watching him, and he was the only one on the entire training ground who was still moving. Watch him walk step by step, watch him bend over, watch him pick up his wand, hold it in his hand, and then strike a spell-casting pose, gritting his teeth, staring at Amos not far away.

"Son, what do you want to do?" It was only then that Amos breathed a sigh of relief, his face full of helplessness.

Hearing Amos's voice, Angel's eyes were faintly moist. He whispered in an almost pleading tone, "The exam isn't over yet, is it? I still have a chance to ......"

All looked toward Amos.

"No, the exam is over. Amos shook his head and said, "Your remaining mana is not enough to sustain the next round of attacks. I'm sorry you didn't break my shield, so you didn't pass the exam. โ€

In an instant, Angel's eyes widened, and tears filled his eyes, and tears slipped down one by one. He roared and shouted, "You...... You can't do that!I still have magic!You don't have a time!I ...... You should let me try again!"

In front of everyone, Angel wiped her tears and cried like a child. In fact, as an elf, he was just a child. A helpless child, despite his talent for all to see. However, every great magician has a vulnerable time.

At this moment, he was far from reaching the pinnacle of magic, and he could only roar helplessly at the magician who stood in front of him and could decide his life and death.

That kind of helplessness is beyond words, and everyone present can feel it.

"You're not going to make it, I'm on guard, you won't get a second chance. Amos shook his head slowly.

"That's too much, isn't it? Oh my God. โ€

"If every entrance exam were like this, I can guarantee that the Academy of Magic wouldn't have half a student. โ€

"See him...... I don't think I should be here. โ€

While the magic apprentices were talking excitedly, Bernice had already taken a step towards the two of them.

Walking between the two step by step, Bernice turned her face sideways and said to Angel: "It's okay, he won't give you a chance, I'll give it to you." You can register again and I can assign you another examiner. โ€

Angell, who was already sobbing, was stunned for a moment, and looked at Bernice with wide eyes.

Amos was also stunned, and hurriedly shouted, "Wait! What are you doing here?"

"I think I've made it clear, Master Magus. Bernice looked at Amos and said with a look of disdain, "We have all seen how good this kid is, and for whatever reason, I will not allow you to kick him out of here." I'm not here to shatter any child's dreams, and not to witness such a despicable thing as Venerable Wizard. โ€

"'Despicable'? Oh my God! You actually use such a word to describe me?" Amos was so angry that his beard cocked: "I said he didn't pass the exam, but I didn't say I wouldn't admit him! I already have two special recruitment places, I can give him one of them!"

"Huh, what's going on?" the onlookers were stunned and a little confused.

Angel was even more dizzy, and he didn't react at all, just staring at the two of them blankly.

"Why would you rather give him a special spot than let him pass the exam?" Bernice asked.

"How do you want my report to be written?' Amos Magus orchestrated an impossible exam and was passed?' Anyway, it's impossible for me to admit that he beat me, don't think!, but I can give him one, yes, that's it!" Amos also exasperated.

Bernice was speechless, rolled her eyes, and said, "No, I don't think so. He passed the exam in a dignified manner, not taking advantage of any special recruitment slots. He passed the toughest entrance exam ever. He deserves to be admitted more than anyone else. โ€

"This matter is not negotiable!"

"You have to agree! or I'll complain about you!"

"Even if I am complained, I will not admit that he beat me!"

The two argued, but the onlookers laughed.

"Okay, now it's easy. He's sure he'll be able to get in, it's just a matter of how. โ€

"That's great!"

"If I don't let him go to school, I'll suspect that the Amos Magus has a personal vendetta against him. โ€

"Anyway, it's good to be able to get in! He's going to be a great magician in the future!hahahaha!"

"If you do it, I say you can do it. The devil whispered in his ear.

Looking at the two arguing over how they should enroll in school, Angel stood dumbfounded, crying uncontrollably. His hair has fallen out, and for a while to come, he will only be bald. But what does that matter? He doesn't care.

As long as he can get in, he doesn't care about anything.

......

On the snowy mountain, the orc mage Turu, who had not yet started, asked Andrew: "Teacher, who is your teacher?"

"My teacher? I don't have a teacher. After thinking about it, Andrew said again: "Well, it should be said that there are a lot of teachers, a lot of them. I went to the Academy of Magic. โ€

"Academy of Magic!" Turru's eyes widened suddenly, "Yes...... Isn't it a great place?"

"I don't think so. โ€

"But it has taught a great magician like you, teacher. โ€

"Am I great?" Andrew was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "Maybe." โ€

Tulu said excitedly, "I also want to be as strong as you, teacher! If I can, I also want to go to school at the Academy of Magic." โ€

"Uh...... In fact, I am the only powerful magician who has come out of it. At least that's what I think. Those magicians are all heaped by age. You know, as long as it's long enough, there's nothing you can't do. That place didn't really work. As long as you do it correctly, you can learn magic anywhere, and there's no need to go to the magic academy at all. As he spoke, Andrew exhaled a puff of mist and turned his face to look south. After thinking about it, he said again: "Actually, the magic academy is still useful, a little useful. There, you can meet all kinds of people and learn to be a real magician. A magician is not just about magic, but more importantly about attitude. Attitude is everything. โ€

"Then the Academy of Magic will never produce a great magician like you, Teacher?"

After thinking about it, Andrew replied, "There should still be, at least one." My younger brother Angel. He's a good seedling, and he's got a great talent for magic. Counting the time, he must have been studying at the Academy of Magic for twenty years. It's a pity that I can't be by his side, and I can't make him take fewer detours. โ€

"That's a shame, his magical talent is so great, even you, the teacher, praise him. โ€

"Actually...... It won't be a pity either. If you think about it, I don't seem to have a short detour, but no kilometer of road is meaningless. If you have a seed of a magician in your heart, one day, it will take root, sprout, and grow into a towering tree. Because if you can't get it, you will want it very much, and because you can't complete it, you will work hard......"

"Is it like me?" Turu asked.

Andrew nodded helplessly: "Yes, just like you." Let's go, let's go down the hill and look for it. If the map is fine, there will be a ruin of Krimasa here. โ€

As he spoke, he began to walk down the mountain with his heavy bag on his back.

"Good!" Turu chased after him with his staff in hand.

Under the blowing of the north wind, even Andrew's face was full of vicissitudes.

......

"I've agreed to admit him, what else do you want!"

"Even if you don't admit him, someone will admit him! It's not a question of whether or not to admit him. โ€

"Well, the matter is decided, there is no need to quarrel anymore. Even he already agreed, didn't he?"

"He doesn't understand it yet! Reputation is very important to a magician!"

Bernice and Amos were still arguing.

A large crowd had already gathered around Angel, and before he could react, they had lifted him high into the air and tossed him into the air.

The wind blew softly, dappling and spilling on the training ground of the Academy of Magic.

At this moment, all the magic apprentices were cheering for him. Angel cried, laughing, unable to help himself.

Twenty years late, but he finally walked the way he was supposed to go.
