Dennis swung her long stick, the air around her quickly cooled, layers of hoarfrost wrapped her weapon, and with each swing, there was a whirring wind, and the cold was overwhelming.

How long has it been since I've been in the Kislev School of Magic? She was eight years old when she was brought in, but it didn't make much sense, age didn't matter at all in the Academy of Magic, according to the academy instructor, a wizard's age doesn't have to be based on natural lifespan. Through magic, it is possible to delay the aging of life.

Dennis believed her words, many witches in the Academy of Magic looked young, but in fact they had lived for decades, like the high-ranking wizards around the Queen, even hundreds of years, and their faces still looked young.

Thinking back to the days when she first arrived at the Academy of Magic, she was frightened everywhere, and now, she is considered an old man. Compared to the little girls who entered the magic academy for the first time, Dennis was much more mature.

A brutal environment can always hone a person. Denise never imagined that she would one day be able to wield knives and guns, but now she has been training in sticks for three months. They train in physical fitness and combat skills during the day and learn theoretical knowledge at night. Every day I am so tired that I can't go to bed again. Those who can't stand it are directly eliminated......

As the youngest witch in the same group of apprentices, Dennis persevered. There was an earl's daughter who couldn't stand it on the fourth day after entering the school, and clamored to go back, and was thrown directly into the dungeon, with the ice demon as her companion......

"Hurry! Move faster! You weak worms, haven't you eaten in the morning?"

On the playground, the coach reprimanded harshly. Each apprentice wielded the magic stick in his hand with all his might.

"In the future, you will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy for the queen, don't think that mages don't need melee ability, on the contrary, the most powerful wizards are weapon masters. Your blades will be a nightmare for your enemies. Feel the blood of your enemies freeze in your hands, that's the most wonderful feeling. ”

Dennis remembers the coach's words, despite her young age and low strength. But it's the hardest working person in the group.

She wielded her magic wand, each blow with the power of ice, and the snowflakes fell in the path of her swing like a graceful dance. At the same time, under Dennis's feet, a faint hoarfrost continued to converge, forming a shock wave with little power but visible to the naked eye.

Gradually, a thick layer of frost condensed at the tip of the stick. The frost ice was like the tip of a spear, almost capable of shooting ice arrows. Dennis had heard that the best of the Frost Witches could do it, and as they swung their weapons, ice arrows shot out from all directions. The ice stone circled around her, sweeping at every enemy in close quarters. Dennis can imagine that kind of picture and envy that kind of person. But she was too young to do it.

Inhaling the cold air in the schoolyard, Dennis swung his magic stick again, and in response to her was a cool cold light. Suddenly, there was a crackling pop in my ears, and a fireball mixed with ash and dirt whistled from behind. In desperation, Dennis clenched his stick and turned back sharply to meet it. The icy magic rod swept away the fireball, and the ice and fire collided, making a piercing popping sound. In front of her, sparks splashed and flew past her face with broken ice, and some ice slag even scratched her face. The impact of the explosion knocked Dennis to the ground, burning several large holes in her clothes, and pain welling up in her heart.

The sudden scene stunned everyone on the field. The witch apprentices turned their heads to look, but they couldn't see where the fireball was coming from.

"Your Majesty, is it too early to train her to fight the flames?"

On the balcony, Erin, the Grand Tutor of the Academy of Magic, whispered. She saw that the girl on the school field was struggling to get up, and the expression on her face was painful and distorted.

"Every genius needs extraordinary training. If she can't stand such training, it only proves that she is not a genius. We have no shortage of mediocrity. ”

The Ice Queen Catalina returned in an icy voice. She stared at Dennis on the school grounds, without the slightest expression on her face.

"But she's still a nine-year-old child......"

Erin tries to exonerate Dennis.

"By the time I was her age, I had become the head of the Witch Apprentice. Manages more than two dozen Frost Witch apprentices. Some of them are much older than me. But none of them could go through three rounds on my hands. Dennis is a once-in-a-century genius. Such high-intensity training is conducive to bringing out the strength in her body. ”

Caterina said coldly.

"Your Majesty, the Earl of Tyles of Grungerd asks to see you. ”

While the Ice Queen was talking to her high-ranking wizards, the guards reported that Earl Glenard had asked to see her.

"Let him wait outside, and I'll go down in a moment. ”

Caterina returned.

"Don't hesitate to be merciful about Dennis. The real ice is not afraid of fire, and when necessary, you can skip a level to train. ”

The Ice Queen explained again. Only then did he step on ice-footed high heels and walk out of the room elegantly and calmly.

......

"Count Tilles, tell me what you want to see. ”

When he came to the Winter Palace, the earl of Glenard had been waiting at the gate of the main hall for a long time. He still didn't seem used to the environment. In the Bandagar Palace, the temperature is always more than a dozen degrees lower than the outside. The office workers here are all wrapped in thick coats. Only the queen and her witches' assistants wore light clothes.

"Your Majesty, I'll make a long story short, bloodsucking creatures have been found in the city of Gruneld. Judging by a range of phenomena, I suspect it's vampires. ”

Tilce stood up straight in front of the Ice Throne, reporting as briefly as he could. The cold here made him not want to stay longer.

"Is it worth it for a vampire creature or two to come all the way here to report?"

Caterina asked with a blank face. There was a hint of disdain in the words.

"No, Your Majesty, there are more than one or two, and if there were only one or two vampires, then I would not have come to the palace to report to you. It's hordes of vampires. And, crucially, the guards I sent out to search for them were all killed. I think it is necessary to report to you about the situation in the city. Hopefully, you'll be able to send out someone to help Glenn Erd deal with these vampires. ”

"I will. ”

Caterina replied coldly.

"Anything else? If it's okay, you go back first, and I'll send someone to investigate the vampires sneaking into the city. ”

"And ...... Your Majesty, I have an idea. ”

Say. ”

Caterina commanded.

"I suppose that before your men arrive in Gleneagled City, I want to let the witch hunters of the Empire enter the city and hunt down the monsters that lurk in the darkness. ”

The Earl of Tilce was bold and said to his face.

"Count Tilles, as I just said, I'll send someone to investigate the matter of the Gleneagle vampire. Do you have to say it a second time before you understand? Witch hunters are never allowed to enter the city. You remember that. ”

Caterina looked at him with cold eyes. Earl Tilce shuddered......
