Chapter Seventy-Five: Our Lives

On the weekend, when the party parted ways, Gwen visited the tower.

She was now a regular visitor, a welcome distraction for the guards, who would take the time to talk politely to her for a few minutes. As a result, she has a very good reputation among the staff, and many people like to have a very beautiful young lady visit the tower chief.

The levitating platform stopped when it reached Henry's room.

"See you next time. Gwen smiled brightly at the guards.

Gwen parted and walked effortlessly into the canyon like a dancer.

"Dude. "One of the guards felt his boobs shrink, and I think she liked me. ”

"......" his companion punched his companion in the arm, go back to work, stop daydreaming, and keep trying. ”

Gwen's lesson today is the Dimension Gate. Her main goal is to master spatial migration.

Her first exercise was to summon a set of markers at a location designated by Henry, with cute little bushes on them, where her body would theoretically manifest. Each "tag" consists of a glowing crystal, and her job is to transfer the four markers to form a grid around Sofina's bush.

It took Gwen several weekends to seal Sofina's name accurately in the envelope with her spell marker. Her master explained that her progress was aided by the same concept of the lightning spell for spatial targets.

Next is the call to the door itself. Unlike unstable summoning magic, spellcasting is a delicate operation. Any mistake or misstep in manifesting arcane phenomena will distort and then bruise the caster through the immaterial body. At best, she will be bedridden for days, and at worst, she may lose a leg.

The maximum range of dimensional gates is determined by the caster's elemental affinity, which also affects casting speed, cost, and stability.

"Can I try an empty dimensional door?" Gwen asked, curious.

"I don't know. "Henry sounds uncomfortable with the idea, I don't know what that will happen, and I'm not going to risk trying your life. Dimension Gates work well without elemental mana. Your lightning simply lubricates the process by appearing quickly and violently at the point of arrival. ”

Master, what do you propose?

Henry scratched his beard thoughtfully.

"I know a salt mage, just like your brother," he replied, adding that his gate could make an explosion of salt when it arrived, acting as well as an offensive role. That's what you're learning, and maybe your emptiness will work in the same way. Still, in order to escape certain doom and imminent damage, I hardly recommend draining energy and weakening yourself on arrival, rather than when you have a perfectly suitable factor to save. ”

Gwen agreed, though she wondered if one day she should try it out privately, especially in Elvia's presence, to provide a layer of insurance.

As time went on, Gwen found herself becoming more and more adept at achieving the efficiency and fluency of the spells needed for combat teleportation. All that's left is to test the spell under live fire to see if she can maintain the same effect in the shadow of death.

After a few weeks, the girls finally managed to get Huitu's shield to collapse before 4 seconds. While they make up for their failures with a hearty breakfast and a hearty dinner, a light lunch is not desirable.

Throughout the process, Gwen tested several theories for lattice shielding and found Huitu's unique skills to react exceptionally well to large-area barrages. Instead, the girls need to concentrate on attacking the same area at a controlled pace.

"Yue, your spell blast takes 4 seconds, Debbie - your catapult takes 2 seconds, I can time my lightning bolt every 3 seconds. Similarly, I can have Ariel guide the summoning storm from the clouds into the same area, and then my lightning can follow. Elvia, I want you to open it with a magic missile that fires one shot every five seconds. ”

"Yes!" the girls affirmed.

"Resist the elements!" Wetu regained his health, looking worried.

"Magic missile!" From Elvia, a swarm of unseen missiles shook the surface of Punum's shield, shattering its surface.

A catapult followed, smashed into the shield and entered the second layer. Soon, the stone began to repair itself, but it was interrupted when an electric bolt illuminated the interior like a light bulb. An electrically powered dart shot out of a roaring illusion, further shooting Gwen's lightning into the crack, blasting Panham to pieces.

"Aha!" "When you jump out. "The shield is broken!

The shield broke, and the energy contained within shattered its shell and scattered shards of greenstone to the ground. The girls sneaked into cover and hid behind the fence, a stream of green debris flying through the air.

Gunther advised, "Three points a little, improve, but you need to work on a tighter formation and consider how well your spells work together." ”。

He caught their attention and began to teach them a lesson.

"Gwen's lightning traversal has the shortest time and incredible penetration of unprotected targets, and is definitely sent by God to deal with monsters, but for mages, there are many ways to resist electricity. ”

"Earth and water happen to be two of the most common mage shields, and they both dispel lightning very well. So, Gwen, you need to focus on your spell timing. If you can get a spell from the shield, it's all over. Either your enemies deplete their primal mana shields, or they will be paralyzed. ”

Gunther turned to Yue.

"On the other hand, Yue, your fire is the most balanced element, good for monsters and mages alike. The power of the explosion, the heat of the flames, the AOE, all this showed itself very well against animals and humans. ”

"The weakness that fire evokes, however - is travel time and trajectory. A disposable shield can easily stop your explosion, and can even do something like this - phew, make a reburn shield on Yue's next spell. ”

"Of course, boss. He turned to Yue and said to do a fire-breathing. I'm showing you the tricks of Buck's burns. ”

Yue threw a cannonball at Ritu.

Just as the flames left her fingers, a semi-circular Ponnam dome appeared. Yue's arrow grabbed the shield and erupted into greenstone shards. Xiao Yue herself suffered an explosion and fell on her buttocks, covering her face when her hair was burned.

"!" Xiao Yue shouted, her mana shield jumping up and deflecting the shards. "My hair!"

"That," Gunther affirmed, back burns. Only confessors with strong affinities and large pools of mana can cast shields far from their astral bodies. As you can see, this is a tough problem for those who like to ramble nonchalantly around the battlefield. ”

Elvia rushed over and said a word of healing. However, just as she was about to heal Yue, a behemoth's shield suddenly appeared around Yue, cutting off Elvis Presley's access to her touch spell.

"What?!" Elvia staggered back as well, startled by the sudden appearance of obstacles.

"It's called a counter-shield," Gunther commented on the self-confident Abjur who believed they could use spells to protect their teammates, and the "offensive" shield was present in battlefield control

He turned to his youngest handicraft sister.

"Gwen, what's the counter for this thing?"

Gwen pondered the scene in front of her, and a dozen scenes flashed through her mind.

"Crucifixion of the confessor?"

"Good!" Gunther applauded. Only the "personal" shield of confessors can be extended in this way, which means that if they drive their barrier away, they lose their protection. Of course, there's only one element here that can catch them quickly before they can retract their shields, and that's lightning. ”

Gunther observed their faces.

"That's why many mage-level majors forgo jurors choosing to specialize further in magic or illusion, giving them more defensive options. ”

Gwen felt a dawn of understanding appear upon her, like a divine light piercing through the clouds. That's why Richard was so passionate about becoming a magician.

She considered the possibilities.

When Audiki is paired with the alluring Leah, he can create a myriad of possibilities with Abhijin's defensive skills. For example, the wanted suit is virtually immune to physical damage - what if Richard authorizes her to use his spells to attack with his shield and Leah protects him?

Gwen patted her lips. If Richard can do it, what about herself? she can hide in a double shield while outside, with Kaliban, Ariel, the faithful hound, and a dark set of tentacles, taking care of things. Maybe she should also invest in summoning elementals, and once her animals are out for a walk, she can also use lightning.

Her mana will be depleted in a minute, but she can produce a devastation and chaotic orgasm!

Gunther looked at Gwen and muttered to herself.

"Gwen?" Gunther looked worried as Gwen smiled silly at herself. "Do you need a break?"

"I'm fine!" she shook off her illusions. "You mean?"

Gunther shook his head.

"Looks like you're all tired. We'll try again tomorrow - now. Let's go have lunch. ”

In order to break the monotony of training, Gwen took the opportunity to impart some insights of her own.

"So, you compress both sides of the shield and fill the void with particles that have lost mana, just like this," Gwen explained to Yue and Elvia the non-Newtonian shield technology, but her friend couldn't understand the physical aspects.

She was debating whether to go to the dorm kitchen to ask for potato starch and a container when Avia collapsed over her shoulder.

Gwen stared.

Eve's petite pink lips twitched as she grunted softly, and a lovely rosebud clung to her ivory skin, fragile as porcelain.

"Oh, Eve is so tired of your theories that she's asleep. Yue smiled, enthusiastic and naughty.

Gwen slowly wrapped her arms around the petite girl, her body as weak as a rag doll.

"It's so cute!" Gwen ran a finger across Elvia's cheek, parting an unseen handful of silver-blonde hair. "She smells good, too. ”

Xiao Yue climbed into Gwen's bed and made herself comfortable.

"Let's sleep like this," Yue suggested mischievously, I heard that if you hug a positive elemental mage at night, it will rejuvenate your skin. ”

"Really?" Gwen whispered.

"There's only one way to know. Yue said with a smile.

The two girls sandwiched the doctor in the middle and slept in a small bed.

"Good night. Xiao Yue yawned and left this world.

"Yue?" Gwen demanded the empty air. "Really?"

Gwen let her breathing slow and ushered in a peaceful night.

As summer lengthens, mornings are bright and early.

Gwen tells Yue and Ivey to get a beauty night's sleep, then jogs out and goes for a morning run. Gwen guiltily wonders if she should call Deborah, but ultimately chooses her own privacy over having someone to keep her company.

When she came back from the uphill slope, she was surrounded by stunned students, as if she had spotted a Gwen-shaped displacement beast in the center of the city.

Hundreds of students watched in amazement as Gwen wore sweat-stained tracksuits, causing a commotion and jubilation.

Semester.

Damn the semester starts today!

"Oh my gosh!" climbed Ascension Hill so early – a steep enough slope to make runners thirst for death. She bumps into a returning student.

"Oh. It's mine. My God. It's Gwen Song!" someone shouted.

Gwen was furious, embarrassed.

"Oh my God, she's tall. ”

"She's a lightning mage, right?"

"I heard she's training for an international high school!"

"Is our broken school eligible?"

"Someone said she's dating Deborah?"

"I heard it's Yue. ”

"She's two times. ”

"Ice Queen. ”

"Bitch. ”

"Bitch!"

Time to go.

"Quickly retreat," Gwen muttered under her breath, and then cut through the crowd like a blur, leaving only a few wayward sparks.

The crowd stared.

"Isn't that a transfiguration spell?" someone asked the Assembly. "Isn't she someone who evokes memories?"

Despite a rough start, the training continued, ignoring academic jargon.

"It's coming!" Alexia cast a spell, her spell forming faster than Gwen could see. "Fireball!"

"Dimensional Gate!"

Gwen teleported behind Alexia, just as the wildfire broke out.

"Wall of Fire!" Alexia continued, going from one spell to another without any effort or delay.

"Dimension Gate!" Gwen gritted her teeth and teleported again, casting the spell in a continuous manner that was a huge drain on her. It's called "spell fatigue", and overwork can cause dizziness and, worst of all, mana burning.

"Burning hands!" Alesia spun around without looking, unleashing a dozen meters of flame, about three times the average range of the Hand of Fire spell.

"Shield!" Gwen couldn't immediately manage a door in another dimension, so she switched to a defensive barrier.

To Alicia, her obstacles immediately disappeared.

"Dimension Gate!" her cooling-off period was over.

Gwen reappeared about twenty meters away and threw out the breakfast.

"Looks like it's three years old, Tiger. "Alexia put her hand on her hip, I wish I was a magician. It's so convenient. ”

"You have your Jain form, and you can fly," Gwen noted.

"Give it a few more years, and you'll be able to fly and teleport," Alexia replied, and you'd better remember how hard I trained you that day. Tell the media and the world that without Alessia de Botton, there would be no Gwen Song, a master of magic. ”

Gwen smiled, feeling her mental stress spread. "Okay, I think I'm fine, shall we go again?"

"Wow?" Alexia raised a perfect eyebrow. "Already, what, a minute, are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. "Gwen didn't get particularly tired from the continuous spells, and Master taught me to do it well. ”

"Hmm......" Alesia thought for a moment, but she didn't like mental tension because she thought too deeply and it might be something she didn't know. "If you're confident, try to dodge this flame attack!"

"Dimensional Gate!"

On the calendar, three months may seem like a long time, but time has a way of escaping the attention of others. More than once, Gwen would wake up confident thinking it was Monday, only to find out it was Thursday.

Then, albeit unexpectedly, the training was completed.

The international high-level preliminary round has begun.

However, no message of the invitation was received. Gwen's team didn't know anything about their enrollment in an international high school.

When questioned by the rest of the team, Gwen immediately suspects Alexia.

"Alesia, I have something to ask you," Gwen said to Alexia, her voice full of cautious suspicion that you have submitted your application to our board?"

"What?" replied Alexia, her voice full of confusion. "What app? When I attended, I showed up!"

Gwen's blood suddenly froze.

"Alesia ... Nope!"
