Chapter 21: Training Sessions
Leighton's threat to Manklin was ignored.
Manklin looked at Layton and showed a look of indifference, which greatly stimulated his self-esteem, and said viciously: "Now you can pretend to be calm! ”
Next was the afternoon training session, the students of the seventh class of the Dark Summoning Department were notified, and they walked into the basement one after another, and came to a large circular room, with a large cushion in the middle, and fifteen small cushions around it, and the Night Soul Mentor sat on the large cushion at this time, waiting in it for a long time.
After all the students had filled the entire cushion, the Night Soul Master slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the fifteen students in turn, he paused inadvertently as he skimmed Layton's face.
The Night Soul Mentor said in a deep voice, "It's all here, let's start the class." This class is a training session, and in the morning Tutor Susan has already explained to you about meditation and servitude contracts. This is the most common and dominant course in the Dark Summoning Department. Now start training meditation, and if you can succeed once, pass the mission. ”
As soon as the Night Soul Mentor's words fell, the students immediately entered the meditation cultivation technique. In fact, most of the students have already been exposed to meditation before coming to the college. After all, the Holy Dragon Continent is a world that worships magic, and everyone practices magic. And the Spirit Wing Magic Academy is one of the five major magic academies on the Holy Dragon Continent, and those who can enter are basically those with outstanding talents. There are very few people like Layton who don't know anything about magic and are found to be recruited.
Soon, everyone was immersed in meditation, and the Night Soul Mentor got up and walked back and forth among the students. When encountering students who do not understand, they will patiently explain the tutoring exercises.
Leighton was also immersed in meditation, which he found to be very flawed compared to the dark meditation technique taught by Susan's mentor. First of all, this meditation technique is not very effective in perceiving the dark elements that are dissociating between heaven and earth. If it weren't for the fact that he had cultivated the Dark Meditation Technique before, and his soul perception was much stronger, I am afraid that it would be difficult to perceive the dark element among the many elements at all.
But when he thought about it, he was relieved, what he cultivated was the White Bone Emperor's dark meditation technique, which was naturally a hundred times stronger than the meditation technique taught by the academy, after all, the academy was only a place to teach basic magic, and he didn't have that much ability to teach more advanced meditation techniques.
The Dark Elemental is not as easy to perceive as other elements, for example, the Earth Elemental can perceive the majestic Earth Element by penetrating the soul sense deep into the earth, and the Water Elemental is simpler, and the Soul Sense can be quickly discovered by finding a place rich in water.
The dark element is one of the many elements that is difficult to perceive, and it must be slowly analyzed between heaven and earth, extracted from it, and then integrated into one's own body, so the degree of difficulty is much more difficult than other elements.
It is precisely because of this difficulty in cultivating that the strength of the students of the dark department is often weaker than that of other departments in the early stage. Of course, if you insist on cultivating until the later stage, you are one of the top existences in the many magic systems.
After a round of meditation, there were still seven or eight students in the class who could not complete the meditation, and Leighton had already successfully completed one.
Wanba next to him glanced at Layton and couldn't help but sigh: "Tut-tut, it's worthy of a genius, it's done so quickly." ”
In the end, there were two students who really couldn't finish it, so the Night Soul Mentor had to let them complete it after class.
The Night Soul Mentor shook his head helplessly, he understood that it was not that the student's talent was not high enough. The students of Class 7 are all children of ordinary people, and they are no better than the children of nobles who can obtain these cultivation resources from an early age to improve the strength of their bodies and souls. This is something he can't solve at the moment, of course, although their starting point is low at the moment, it does not mean that their future achievements will be low.
"Now, carry out the enslavement contract. Night Soul beckoned, the ring on his hand flashed slightly, and an ownerless skeleton appeared in front of each student. The students who had never seen it looked a little flustered when they looked at the miserable white skeleton soldiers that suddenly appeared in front of them, but most of the students still acted very calm.
"Wow! Layton sees, the Space Ring. Wanba stared at the ring on the Night Soul Master's hand and exclaimed.
Layton wondered, "Space Ring?"
"No, you don't even know the Space Ring. Space rings, which can store objects in rings, and it is rumored that some of the best space rings can also store living things. ”
"Every space ring is priceless and unavailable, and the space ring on the hand of the Night Soul Master in front of me should be the dark ring in the academy. Wanba said enviously.
Layton wondered, "Dark Ring?"
"Each magic department will have a space ring to recognize those who have made outstanding contributions to the students. For example, the fire-based magic space ring is called the fire ring, and the thunder-type magic space ring is called the thunder ring. I really didn't expect that the Night Soul Master would be able to get the space ring of the dark magic department at such a young age. ”
Layton secretly rejoiced, fortunately he didn't reveal that he also had a spatial ring on his body, otherwise he would not have caused panic, although it was only a broken spatial ring.
Looking at the skeleton soldier that appeared in front of him, he suddenly found that the soul fire in the skeleton soldier's eye socket was dim, and he looked like it was about to be extinguished.
The Night Soul Mentor said to the students, "Don't worry! I have already dealt with the skeleton soldiers in front of me, and there is no harm. Next, everyone has to successfully sign a contract of enslavement with the ownerless skeleton soldier in front of them, and get ready to begin. ”
Soon, the students were working hard to make a contract of enslavement to the skeleton soldiers. At this time, Layton found that a girl seemed to him to be the girl who helped him show the way yesterday, but now she looked unconvinced.
I saw the woman smile at him as if she was challenged, "I heard that you are a recognized new genius of the Dark Summoning Department. Dare you come to the competition and see who can successfully complete the enslavement contract first. ”
Wanba leaned into Layton's ear and reminded in a low voice, "She is Miss Himma, known as the female devil, and she has become a second-order magician before entering the school. ”
Layton glanced at her, still had a good impression of her, and nodded, which was considered to accept her challenge. Seeing this, the surrounding students stopped what they were doing, turned their heads to look at the game between the two, and more accurately, wanted to see the performance of the so-called dark summoning department on the first day.
The air began to become oppressive, and the two of them looked like they were about to fight a big battle, and their expressions began to become serious.
I saw the two of them chanting incantations at the same time, each outlining a contract sigil through their souls, and punching into the soul fire of the skeleton soldiers.
At this time, the soul fire in the eyes of the skeleton soldiers in front of the two lit up at the same time. There was a cool inhalation sound around him, and he whispered, "It's such a fast speed, it's done in the blink of an eye." ”
The Night Soul Mentor couldn't help but secretly approve, and he found that a little star flashed in the soul fire of the skeleton soldier contracted by Hima, which was the power of the stars. But Leighton's he couldn't see through it, and there was a hint of destruction in his soul.
Jima looked at Layton and said with a smile: "You can keep up with my speed, you are doing well, you can be regarded as my approval." ”
Layton smiled when he heard this.
Next, the Night Soul Mentor and the other students completed the enslavement contract in turn, and said loudly, "Next, I will teach you an offensive dark magic - Dark Impact. ”
"This is the most basic form of offensive dark magic, mentioned on page 3 of your book Dark Magic Attack. ”
When the students heard this, they opened their textbooks one after another, and sure enough, they found them.
Dark Impact, a first-order attack magic. By converging a large number of dark elements, it creates a shockwave that deals magical damage to enemies.
Next, the Night Soul Mentor explained some key points to everyone, and then everyone engaged in the practice.
Layton found that the Dark Impact was far less powerful than his Hellfire Bomb, and it was extremely draining.
Jima on the side didn't practice at all, as if she didn't bother to practice this low-level magic. Strangely, Wanba on one side also gave up practicing this magic.
Wanba looked at Leighton who was practicing and said, "This dark impact, which can be seen everywhere in the shops outside, is a rookie-level magic, and it is a waste of soul power. It may be a little useful before the third order, but after the third order, you have to replace other magic, which can be said to be thankless. ”
Layton nodded, just as he felt. Unleashing three Dark Blasts is not as powerful as a single Wraiflame Bullet, but it's easy and effective, and it's very draining.
Layton glanced at Wanba curiously and asked, "Wanba, how do you know everything?" ”
Wanba smiled and said, "These are all common sense, and you will understand it after a long time." ”
Towards the end of the training session, the Night Soul Mentor finally gathered the students together and said, "Next, I have an important thing to announce. ”
Hearing this, the students below were all attentive and pricked up their ears.
