Chapter 16: About Magic
When the morning class ended, the teacher in charge of the seventh class of their high school walked in and said, "As I said last week, there will be a second magic talent test in the afternoon, and the second test will be more accurate than the first one, so that you can know which magic element you are more prominent, and also let the students who are preparing to apply for the magic department have a general understanding of themselves." ”
After the teacher finished speaking, he inadvertently glanced at Mo Lu on the side, obviously looking at the form he received, and even he was quite surprised by Mo Lu's application.
Of course, this is also within the scope of the conditions, and it is the student's freedom to fill in, and he will not make any indications.
After the teacher in charge left, the class suddenly became lively, especially the students who had tested their magical talents for the first time, and immediately became the center of the conversation again.
Everyone began to discuss which magical elemental specialty they would have.
However, in Mo Lu's eyes, there is not even a single talented student in these classes with characteristics, and his qualifications are not bad, and the lowest is at the same level as an ordinary grade, and one of them is still a good qualification.
In fact, there are very few people with characteristics, and the strength of the characteristics has little to do with qualifications, at least he observed the students in the school during this time, and this phenomenon is correct.
In addition, he guessed that the characteristics of a person should be divided into two categories.
One is born with it, and the similar should be the elemental affinity that he has now, which belongs to the physique class.
There is another category that should be born through acquired cultivation, such as He Cheng's rough knife skills.
If you break it down, the will trait of the undead like the skeleton soldier should be considered a race-related trait.
To sum up, this trait can be a talent, but it can also be a specialized combat specialty, or even a passive racial aura, in short, it covers a lot.
"Jin Hai, last time I tested, the teachers all said that you have the highest magic talent, and it seems that this time you were admitted to the magic department of the Martial Arts Academy. A classmate said enviously.
"It's not necessarily, and the Martial Arts Academy may not want me. Jin Hai spread his hands and smiled, he was the talented magical student with the best qualifications in the class.
After testing his magical talent for the first time, even the school seemed to attach great importance to him, so much so that everyone thought that it was a sure thing that Jin Hai would become a magician in the future.
"How is that possible, unless the people in the Martial Arts Academy are blind and can't see your potential magical talent. One student said, with a gesture of goodwill.
Excellent people are always surrounded by such people, and they are willing to be green leaves.
Of course, there are also people who are not interested in Jin Hai, such as those top students in the class, who are at the top of the physical test scores, compared to the magical talent who has not yet realized their combat effectiveness, they are obviously stronger now.
After all, in terms of the five attribute scores alone, these top students are all top-notch existences, and their combat effectiveness is much higher than that of magical talent students.
But these high attributes are all improved little by little through their own tempering, and for those who are born with magical talents, they will naturally have prejudiced emotions, plus some unbalanced psychology of jealousy.
Of course, the top students in the physical test also have their own hearts to some extent, and there are no obvious contradictions, but the relationship between the two sides has always remained cold and ignores each other, which is considered to be two relatively distinct groups in the class.
This is not only the case for their seventh class, but also every year before graduating from high school, and it is no exception.
Mo Lu did not blend in with the two groups, and he left the classroom alone during his lunch break.
After a simple meal in the cafeteria, I ran to the school library.
The library was built three years ago with the mayor's fund, and although it is not large, it does store a lot of useful books.
As long as you are a school student, you can read and study in the library.
Although combat professions such as martial arts and magicians are the most popular at the moment, it is impossible for these two professions to be the only ones in each country, and there will inevitably be more other practitioners.
After all, there are only a few people who can become warriors and magicians, which can be seen from the school where Mo Lu is located.
There are nearly a thousand students who are about to graduate from the entire high school, but there are only about a hundred students who can go to the Martial Arts Academy.
Among the more than 100 people, even fewer were able to successfully enter the Martial Arts Academy.
In the end, more than 900 people may be engaged in professions other than martial arts.
In fact, self-motivated students have already been arranged by their parents long before graduation, or have their own plans for their own paths.
For example, learning to forge weapons and equipment, or herb cultivation and other skills, this is a very good way out, and good research can also get ahead.
Books are available in the library, and shops in small towns come to the school to recruit apprentices when they graduate.
Mo Lu knew about this library, but because he was busy with his part-time job on weekdays, he never had the time to go to this library to learn any skills.
So today was the first time he had come to the library in his student career.
The smell of learning filled the air, which shook Mo Lu's spirit.
There is only one floor of the library, and the dense books are neatly placed on the large wooden shelves, and many students are holding the books they are interested in.
If you take a closer look, you will find that not only the high school students gather, but also many junior high school students, although they are still very young, are all holding their favorite books and reading them with relish.
Walked over to one of the shelves, with a list of books related to magic, and pulled out one of them and flipped through it.
He came to the library today, mainly to learn about his relatively unfamiliar magical knowledge, the most basic kind.
In fact, mage is just a general term, and it actually includes many magic-related professions, such as summoner, necromancer, enchanter, etc.
Even some alchemists may be fire mages with incredible control.
There is a kind of energy in the body of the magician, which is called magic, and there are many ways to generate magic, the most basic of which is through self-meditation.
The magician's combat method is to communicate with the external elements through their own magic power, and finally form a magical attack.
Of course, this is only the most conventional mage combat method, and with the development of the times, many professions born from mages may have already replaced this traditional combat mode.
However, in these books, there is no detailed description of this kind of content.
If you want to truly become a magician, you must have the ability to communicate with the elements of the outside world, which is undoubted, otherwise you will not be able to perform even the lowest level of magic.
The premise of wanting to communicate with external elements is to have a certain element perception, after all, if you can't even perceive external elements, how can you talk about communication.
Therefore, elemental perception has become one of the important criteria for the assessment of the magic department of the Martial Demon Academy over the years.
In fact, everyone has a little element perception more or less, after all, no one is an insulator in the real sense, but if you want to reach the level of communication elements, this element perception of ordinary people is not enough.
Mo Lu was the same before, with a little perception, but he was still a lot short of meeting the standard.
The elemental affinity could help him improve this perception, but to be honest, he still didn't know anything until he tested it.
After all, he wasn't sure how strong the effect of this ascension would be, and if it would allow him to meet the minimum standards for becoming a magician.
