Chapter 62: The Mage Competition

"Dean Dimmit, how did you know that I was coming out of the ownerless graveyard over here?" Horst continued, the timing of Dean Dimmit's appearance was just right, just in time for him to be besieged by the Corpse Witch. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It was Tucker and Sattar who told me that you might have entered the woods in the northwest corner, so I guess if you can get out of that woods, you should be in this place. Dimmit stopped a carriage leading to the imperial capital, and after the two of them got in, he continued, "It can only be said that this is a coincidence, but fortunately you are safe, you have fallen behind a lot of schoolwork in the past few days. ”

"Well, I'll make it up to when I get back. Horst said this on his mouth, but he had another idea in his heart, the courses arranged in the academy, except for the blind courses, seemed to be a little useful to himself, and the other courses were either about the configuration of some summoned beasts and the summoning methods, or about the characteristics of summoned beasts, these things, in fact, Horst had already mastered.

Now, the more important thing for Horst is to get more magic energy stones to feed the spirit pet, so that Shadow Butterfly can grow into a third-order spirit pet. The Hidden Demon Rat Spirit Pet has been characterized as a garbage spirit pet by Master Gna, so Horst doesn't pay much attention to it, and as for the Night Falcon Spirit Pet, it was given to Horst by Master Gna himself. Horst trusted the vision of Master Gna, after all, Master Gna was a summoning mage who specialized in spirit pets.

Back at the academy, Horst's disappearance in the past few days has not attracted much attention, and as for entering the grove, Dimmit also suppressed the matter, and Horst has not been punished too much.

Everything was calm again, time flew by, and Horst had healed from the wounds left by the Assassin attack, and he had not met the Assassin again, presumably with the Horst family.

Mage Gna also returned from the Nas Empire, bringing some information about the holding of the Mage Tournament.

In the blink of an eye, it was already winter, and during the winter vacation, Horst once again went to the Summoner Guild to receive a part of the mission, this time without the cooperation of others, and completed the task alone. Complete the quest alone and get a lot of magic gem rewards, but they are all used to feed the Shadow Butterfly Spirit Pet. Although Horst was distressed by the amount of magic energy stones consumed, Shadow Butterfly did not live up to his expectations, and finally reached the appearance of the third order.

Tucker and Sattar went to the Northern Frontier Defense Line, partly to accumulate military merits, and partly to each other's personal affairs.

During this time, Horst went to the library to check the records of the Grandmaster, but it seemed that he did not find anything, but instead looked up the records of the undead.

It turns out that the existence of the undead is no shorter than the time when the mage civilization was opened. What Master Gna told Horst was actually something wrong.

When the mage civilization opened, the undead existed, and no one knew how they appeared. The original account said that the corpse witch was transformed. Later, it was discovered that there seemed to be some connection between the undead and the spiritual system, and there was no follow-up research. It wasn't until an accident more than a hundred years ago that the later undead organization was born.

In fact, the undead organization has existed for far more than a hundred years, but the previous undead organization, the degree of structure, was completely in a loose state.

If you want to know more about the undead, you have to go to the forbidden area of the Upper House Library. Horst guessed that many hidden histories, including the Grandmaster, needed to be inquired in the forbidden book area. In the forbidden area of the Upper House Library, only some special tasks in the Upper House can be read, and Horst has no qualifications at all.

In the past half a year, Horst's cultivation has also continued to grow, and his mana has increased by three levels within the beginning of the summer vacation, reaching the second order and third level, and by the end of the winter vacation, his mana has increased by two levels. For such a long time, it has only risen by two levels, Horst is a little dissatisfied, of course he also knows that there is no way to do it, the further back the mana, the slower the growth rate.

It's spring school again, and Horst receives a notice from the academy that members of the mage competition will be selected in the second year.

This time, the Mage Contest will be different from the previous Summoning Mage Tournament, and it will be a revolution that will completely try to cooperate between different types of mages and other classes. In the past, there were exclusive competitions for each class, but now these classes will cooperate with each other, which is the trend of social development.

The mage competition held in the academy required every student to participate, and due to the large number of students, the entire selection competition lasted for a month. Until the top three students were finally selected, Horst was naturally among the three students.

"This is your first mage competition, so the students have formed three teams to represent the first mage academy, and you are the candidates for the summoning mage academy. Dimmit called the three selected members to his office and instructed him personally, "Each team consists of a summoner, the main battlefield control, an elemental mage, the main auxiliary summoner, and a small area attack, an assassin, the main raid, a singer, the main attack, and a warrior, the main defense, and the area attack." There are a team of seven people in total, and the lineage of five people has been determined, and there are two more that you need to contact yourself. ”

"Summoning mages belong to the category of control form mages, so you are also the captain of each clan, and no matter how powerful you are, you have to take on the responsibility of captain. When you learn to control your heart, you learn to control your abilities. Dimmit's voice gradually sounded, and the truth was full of philosophy, "In addition, each team also has three reserve members, and this has to be chosen by yourself." This first step is the national-level mage competition, and it will take three months to qualify after this step, and it will also take three months for you to participate in the league of the Demon Heaven Continent. If you qualify, you will go out of this continent and face the whole world, and then the elves, snow demons, orcs and even dragons will be your opponents. ”

"Expectations are a bit high. Horst was uninhibited and spoke his mind directly.

Although the other two didn't know Horst, after hearing this, they both squinted at Horst.

Dimmit smiled instead: "Look at you, the selection competition is so difficult, and the cultivation is also a cut below the students of these two other classes, and if you can't win, it won't be a shame for the academy." ”

Horst's face was a little ugly when he heard this, he knew that he didn't show his strength when he participated in the selection competition, and only used the Hidden Demon Rat Spirit Pet alone to summon the beast, and did not use the other two.

In fact, it seems that only Horst is still using the Hidden Demon Rat Spirit Pet in the tryouts, and the others are either a second-order or even third-order spirit pet, or a spirit pet with a higher bloodline level. Even, someone has more than one high-level spirit pet.

Of course, Horst knew that Dimmit had already seen that he had not shown his true level, and what he said was the opposite, and it was precisely because he only relied on a hidden demon rat spirit pet to beat a group of students to the ground, which attracted the squint of the two students just now.

"Boy, it's better to have a little goal. Looking at Horst's appearance, Dimmit smiled. A person who can use low-level spirit pets and has a lower cultivation than many people, but defeats those people, can you say that his strength is not strong?

What's more, Horst also concealed part of his strength. At least, his Shadow Butterfly didn't work, and his Night Falcon didn't work. What's more, after this month's selection competition, Horst's cultivation has also improved, from the second-order fifth level at the beginning of the school year to the current second-order sixth level.

Dimmit explained a few more things to the trio, and the other two inductees left first.

"Dean Dimmit, can I apply for a matter with you?" After seeing the two of them walk out of the dean's office, Horst discussed with Dimmit alone, "There is no need for elemental mages to be members of the team anymore, I am an elemental mage myself." ”

Horst didn't hide that he had indeed mastered what an elemental mage should have mastered in the past nearly a year. Actually, it was what Horst originally had, but the elemental course was a key.

Dimmit looked at Horst, as if to read the why from his face, but then seemed to think of something. He knew that the multi-line mage was the multi-class mage that Horst had mentioned to Gna.

"It's you the captain, you decide. However, if you do this, there will be one more student selected by the Elemental Mage Academy, and in this case, there will be no explanation for the Elemental Mage Academy. Dimmit said his thoughts, after all, this is the method of the House of Commons to form a unified team, and it is also the best cooperation for the division of labor and cooperation in society.

Although he knew that Horst was also an elemental mage, as the captain and as a summoning mage, what he needed was to control the battlefield, and he didn't seem to have much energy to fulfill his duties as a summoning mage.

In fact, after so many years of studying elemental mages, Horst felt that if the elemental and summoning systems were combined and practiced by the same person, they would be best played. After all, both types of mages actually use chemical elements as magical elements.

"A team of seven people, I entered as a summoning mage, and I also took care of the elemental mage, and the other three were the singer, the assassin, and the warrior, and I wanted to choose two more summoners. Horst thought of Tucker and Sattar, and then of Dennis, "If it were up to me, the elemental mages would be the reserve members of our team. ”

In this way, Horst's team is three summoners, an assassin, a singer, and a warrior. With one spot remaining, Horst thought of Molya, who was about to return, but she had also studied the Department of Light.
