Chapter 39: The Encounter between Mages
The last item is a match.
In order to allow the students of the War College to communicate with each other and learn from professional mages, Lanza specially organized such an event this time. This allows students of the War College to challenge working mages and exchange levels and skills with each other. At the same time, Lanza also set up a generous reward for the winner.
Most of the students at the War College are from civilian backgrounds with poor families. Therefore, the reward set by the prince is still very attractive to them. It is precisely for this reason that many students sign up for the third program. After all, there's no shame in losing to a professional mage, and if you win, you can still make a good profit, so why not?
Therefore, as soon as the project began, the atmosphere on the scene became very enthusiastic, and everyone was eager to try it.
The first student to take the stage to challenge was a young man in a green robe. The magic weapon in his hand was a somewhat simple-looking cane. The professional mage who was going to fight him was a middle-aged mage who looked very cheerful, making the magic weapon a long sword.
"Which side do you think will win?" Noah asked with a smile as he looked at the two people standing in the ring.
"You don't need to look at this kind of competition to know the result, and the winner must be the middle-aged professional mage. Xia Zuo didn't even think about it, and came to such a conclusion very simply.
"Why are you so sure?" asked Marven, the eldest cousin.
Somehow, Marven often has a feeling that many times, he feels that he can't keep up with the two cousins' train of thought, and he can't understand what they are saying.
"A ranged mage can't have an advantage in a solo battle at all, not to mention that the other party is still an experienced veteran, not to mention that the green robe will be abused very badly. ”
As he was talking, the competition in the ring had officially begun.
It can be seen that in fact, the casting technique of the green robe is quite good, and the time required for the formation to unfold is relatively brief, indicating that he has a good grasp of the formation he uses.
However, correspondingly, the shortcomings of the green-robed man are also obvious, he basically has not cast any complex high-level spells, and the stability of his formation is not good enough, and he even failed to cast the spell directly twice. It can be seen from this that he is nervous in his heart, and the green-robed man's mental tolerance does not seem to be very good.
And an opponent like the man in the green robe, as long as he sees through the shortcomings, it is still easy to deal with.
So the result of this battle is indeed the same as Xia Zuo's guess.
The middle-aged mage didn't even get close to the green-robed man, the two of them used spells to bombard each other from such a distance, and the green-robed man didn't last a few minutes, and he was quickly defeated, causing a lot of boos on the scene, and the seating area of the War College was even more scolding, saying that his performance was simply a shame for the academy.
"Are these guys embarrassed to laugh at people? Even if they get on it themselves, it's pretty much the same. ”
The loud boos from the War College area were deafening, drawing on Xia Zuo's displeasure.
"Then do you think that if you were on the field, would you be able to defeat that professional mage?" Marven couldn't help but ask curiously. He really wanted to know what kind of definition Xia Zuo, who likes to evaluate others, was to himself.
Unexpectedly, Xia Zuo said something like this: "With my family background, even if I really go to the battlefield in the future, I don't need to fight others in person." ”
Xia Zuo is also true, with his identity as the heir of a famous family, when he enters the army, his identity will naturally be different from that of ordinary mages, at least he can be a general or something, and he doesn't need to charge into battle in person at all. So it doesn't matter what Xia Zuo's strength is. And this is also the fundamental reason why other students are jealous and ridicule the Silver Moon Class.
Fortunately, Xia Zuo was sitting in the aristocratic area and said this, if he was in the academy area, I was afraid that the hateful eyes of the surrounding classmates would kill him.
And in the ring, the second challenger is also in place.
This time, it was a guy with the head of Mohican, and his magic weapon was also a walking stick. On the other side, the one who was fighting against him was still the middle-aged mage just now.
Seeing this, Xia Zuo couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Now the atmosphere of the War Academy is not quite right, and the students want to be more relaxed, just be a remote mage who thinks that as long as they stand still, they don't have to do anything but spells." But if a ranged mage doesn't have a companion, it's a dead end if they're left alone on the battlefield. It's just a pity that many people don't realize this. ”
Just you, a guy who plans to be a conductor comfortably, are you embarrassed to dislike other people's remote mages easily? Marven couldn't help but think depressedly, but he didn't dare to say it directly.
The result of this second game is also similar to the first game. Although Moxigan's control level of the magic circle was better than that of the green-robed man before, and there was no mistake, after the middle-aged mage approached him and interrupted the spell casting process, Moxican's head was completely confused, and he didn't have the power to fight back. He also lost quite badly.
"The student is really still a student, the level is not good!"
"I think so too!"
In the audience, such a slightly mocking dialogue has already begun to appear.
These words spread to the area of the War Academy, making everyone feel very shameless, and their morale became a little low: the good and bad people in the War Academy are also the reserves of professional mages, how can they lose so badly! This is too different from the level of professional mages!
The third person is on the field.
The girl was a little thin on her shoulders, and carried a black spear with a ribbon on it, which was flying in the wind. The ribbon crosses one beautiful arc after another, which is very dazzling.
The girl is amber.
The only girl in the civilian group, Amber.
Although her personality is not very flamboyant, Amber is indeed one of the most famous people in the War College.
This is not because she is a student of the Silver Moon class. It's because of the spear in Amber's hand that the people in the academy understand what it means to be invincible and invincible.
Amber is a melee mage, which is rare among female mages.
In fact, Amber isn't just a melee mage, she's always made it her goal to be a charge mage.
Charge mage refers to the mage who charges into battle with the soldiers on the battlefield and rushes to the front of the army, which has a great influence on the battle situation and morale, and requires the mage to have strong physical fitness and the ability to skillfully manipulate spells. Their magic weapons generally choose guns, spears, swords, knives and other things made of special materials that are suitable for melee combat, rather than the most mainstream magic wands and canes in the current war college, and have almost no melee ability. It can be said that becoming a charge mage requires a very high quality of mage.
It is precisely because of the extremely high requirements for individuals that those who can become charging mages must be the best among mages. And the level of the charging mage in the army is also higher and more respected than that of ordinary mages.
For example, Ellis, the general who has now returned to the War College, the chief of the guard department, and is known throughout the country as the "goddess of war", is a charge mage.
Although Amber usually doesn't talk much, she seems to be quite civilized, but as long as she arrives on the battlefield, her whole temperament will become completely different from usual, very fierce and aggressive, so Amber is a very contrasting person.
At first, everyone found out that there was a girl who made a spear in the academy, but they thought it was a little new and didn't pay much attention to it. Everyone thinks she's just a whim, it's just fun, and sooner or later she won't be able to hold on.
But in last year's round-robin tournament, the girl and her spear let people see what the real edge is.
She firmly occupied the position of the champion, immobile as a mountain. After winning one hundred and forty consecutive victories that shook the house, Amber became a legend in the house.
It was a sharp woman, and nothing could stop her edge.
That's what everybody says.
Naturally, this has also attracted the attention of some big names. Even if Amber hasn't graduated yet, there are already many bigwigs in the military who have noticed her. They all hope that Amber will be able to join their team when they graduate.
It is precisely because of the existence of Amber that the people in the War College do not think that everyone in the Silver Moon Class is a waste.
