It has been the third day since the end of the event held by Reox Academy, and Professor Huo De was very 'disappointed' that he did not find any excuse to deduct Jiang Zhe's year-end assessment scores, but when he turned around, there was a smile in his eyes, which Jiang Zhe would never see......

The event was generally a success, and many of the junior students performed well, which made the professors of the school look at it differently.

A large number of students have found magic items hidden in the forest, such as wands, wands, gems, rings, etc., and even the junior students who have not received anything have gained a valuable practical experience, which may be of great help to their future magical journeys.

After the event, the college issued a notice that all students of the college would take a two-day break and then attend classes as usual.

This notice seemed a little puzzled to the senior students, because there had never been such a good thing in the past, after thinking about it, they finally attributed this notice to the academy to take care of the junior students, but Jiang Zhe and the three of them learned the truth from Professor Huo De's mouth.

One of the second-year team was missing, and the last time someone saw them was close to the forest......

After learning about this, the academy immediately sent three teams of professors to the dense forest to find it, and Professor Huo De was one of them.

"You say, 'What's in the forest?'

Wearing only a pajama, Jiang Zhe sat on a chair, lying on the desk next to the window, yawning from time to time, while boredly playing with a gem that glowed red throughout, it was a precious fiery red stone, which was the most favorite gem for magicians who majored in fire blue magic.

"Who knows!" Behind Jiang Zhe, Alan held a broad knight's sword in one hand, exhaling and inhaling, this is the daily morning class.

It is conceivable that as a student of the Reochs Academy of Magic, Allen's daily morning class is not meditation, but physical exercise, and I really hope that he will not cry about the badge on the magic robe that represents the magician's apprentice on the sofa casually.

This guy is really condescending if he doesn't go to the Royal Knight Academy!

Glancing back at Allen, he saw that the knight's sword, which looked extremely heavy, did not move in his hand, and this arm strength ...... The corners of Jiang Zhe's eyes twitched.

"Maybe there's a very evil wizard living in the forest, or maybe there's a very fierce beast or something...... Whoo......" While wielding the knight's sword in his hand in a relatively small room, Alan gloated, "Although I heard that the dense forest belongs to the courtyard, it has been abandoned for a long time, and it is not strange that there is anything in it...... You say, there's going to be a dragon, man?"

Is this what a guy who admires the spirit of chivalry should say? Jiang Zhe pursed his lips speechlessly, and said angrily, "Haven't you always admired the eight virtues of knights? It stands to reason that you should be worried about them, right......?"

"Of course," said Alan, smiling and winking, "but unfortunately, the three missing are all men, and my chivalry is only for young and beautiful ladies......"

Okay!

Jiang Zhe yawned speechlessly, and looked back at Allen snorting with a knight's sword.

"Man, let me try again!" While saying this, Allen held the sword in both hands, held it in front of his chest, and looked at Jiang Zhe with a solemn expression.

......Jiang Zhe shook his head speechlessly, glanced at Allen, and saw that he was waiting with an expectant expression, so he moved his chair, leaned towards Allen, pointed at him with his right hand and said, "Is it okay?"

Alan nodded.

After receiving his signal, a few traces of fire elements gradually condensed on the index finger of Jiang Zhe's right hand, and in the blink of an eye, an egg-sized fire bullet appeared, and at the same time, Alan shook the sword in his hand with both hands.

"Whoosh!"

The fire bomb is worthy of the quick attack magic, although the power makes people speechless, but the speed is definitely not comparable to the fireball, even Allen, can not catch up with the speed of the fire bomb, and looks depressed at the 'little fireball' rushing back and forth next to his body.

Suddenly, Alan saw Jiang Zhe open his mouth and yawn, his eyes swept the fire bullet beside him, and the knight's sword in his hand swung away violently......

"It's useless, Allen, you're within my perception range......" Jiang Zhe said while yawning.

Sure enough, Allen's cumbersome knight's sword didn't wait to catch up with the nimble fire bullet, but narrowly brushed the long table in the room.

"Good risk, good risk......"

"Can you be a little more stupid?" Just as Alan patted his chest and secretly rejoiced, a familiar mockery came from behind him, and then, Jiang Zhe saw Scott walk out with a tray with three cups of hot black tea placed in the tray.

"Eun, get up in the morning and drink a cup of black tea, this is ...... Hey, what do you mean, old fellow?", leaning the knight's sword against the long table, Alan holding up his glass as if he were intoxicated.

With a light snort, Scott walked up to Jiang Zhe, put one of the cups in front of him, and then took his own cup, took a sip, and said, "When I went to the library to return the books yesterday, I heard that the professors had found the three second-year students...... The three of them just fainted on the edge of the jungle and didn't suffer any harm......"

"Isn't that great?" Jiang Zhe took a sip of his cup and said with a smile, "It's delicious, thank you!"

"Heh," Scott smiled faintly, then pushed his glasses, looked at the fiery red stone on the table and said, "I heard that the academy has only prepared a dozen fired stone this time, good luck, and this fired red stone looks very good last time, if it is just a thing to play with, it would be a pity......"

"Oh, yes, I'll see," Alan walked over, reached out and picked up the fiosing red stone on the table, took a picture of the window, and said, "It seems to be pretty good, but it may be a little small to set in the wand, why don't you make a magic wand first?"

Catching the fiery red stone with a snap, Jiang Zhe took a closer look at the gem, leaned back in the chair and said lazily, "Forget it...... It's not that magicians can't rely too much on magic items, right? After all, that's not really a ......."

"That's a good point," Scott chuckled, holding up his glass in approval, "but I guess there's another reason?"

Jiang Zhe smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you have to say it so directly...... The second reason is that whether it's a wand or a wand, it's too cumbersome to carry on you......"

"Haha," Alan was amused, and even Scott couldn't contain the smile on his face, shaking his head and saying, "What are you going to do with a fiery red stone that can enhance the power of fire-based magic?

"I didn't think about it, but it's a good idea...... Anyway, I have about 200 gold coins short, so I should be able to make it up, right?"

Glancing at Jiang Zhe, Alan joked, "Hey, if you really want to sell it, you can secretly sell it to the first-grader, and the price will be a little higher, haha, why don't I sell it for you?" It may be more than two hundred gold coins!"

"You're quite concerned about this kind of thing, huh?" Scott frowned and glared at Allen, and then said to Jiang Zhe, "By the way, Soth, isn't there still Professor Hodd's class this morning?"

"That's right!" Jiang Zhe then remembered that there was still a fire green magic class today, so he hurriedly stood up and changed into a brand new magic apprentice robe.

He went to get it after the event, and it turned out that the set could no longer be worn, and I remember that when I received it, Ms. Tilda in the dormitory department was still staring at Jiang Zhe for a long time.

Looking at Jiang Zhe's busy appearance, Alan gloated and said, "Man, hurry up, if you are late, Professor Huo De may deduct your year-end assessment points, haha! By the way, it is a little cold in the room, Soth, help us light the fireplace before leaving, hehe, Scott and I don't have classes in the morning...... It's nice to have a companion who majors in fire-based blue magic!"

"Hmph," Jiang Zhe rolled his eyes angrily, changed his clothes, picked up his robe, and was about to walk towards the fireplace, but saw Scott raise his hand, pointed at Jiang Zhe and said, "Soth, it's right there!"

"Hmm?" Jiang Zhe was stunned, then understood, hesitated to stop, and slowly raised his right hand to point to the fireplace.

Scott, on the other hand, put down the delicate teacup in his hand, took out a pocket watch from his bosom, and said in a slightly mocking tone of his customary surname, "Don't blow up the fireplace, South." ”

Hey!

Jiang Zhe smiled, then slowly closed his eyes, and the magic power on his body fluctuated like a stream of water, swinging outward in a circle.

Condense the fire elemental from a distance......

Constitute a fireball...... Well, it directly constitutes a flame......

Tsk, isn't it?

The fire element of the flame is looser than the fireball, and it is not formed by the way of the fireball first...... Can't do it......

At least not yet......

"Yo, it seems to have failed?" Sitting on the chair and looking at Jiang Zhe, Alan said with a grin.

"Shut up!" frowning and glaring at Allen, Scott said to Jiang Zhe, "Try again, Soth, just like the previous two days, since it was successful that time, it won't fail this time...... Oh, by the way, it would be a hassle to blow up the fireplace, so let's skip the compression element......"

"Got it!" Jiang Zhe smiled bitterly, and then honestly applied the old method of the previous two days, first condensing the fireball, and then transforming it into flames.

There was silence......

Immediately, there was a slight crackling sound from the fireplace, and then, after a "whew", a large number of flames came out of the stove, almost igniting the sheepskin blanket spread on the ground, and Alan hurriedly dragged the chair back.

"Hey, hey!"

"Smack!" Scott said solemnly, closing the pocket watch in his hand, "omitting the compression step...... Thirteen seconds! Without the use of any props, spells, or gestures, relying solely on mental power and control, this is the time it takes you to condense a fireball from a distance and transform it into flames, Thos. ”

"Aha!" Alan said with a smile, squeezing his eyebrows, "Thirteen seconds, I've been able to make you fall several times in that time, man!"

"Hmph," Jiang Zhe pouted dissatisfied, "but don't forget, if you use a spell, it will only take me two and a half seconds to cast a fireball, and as long as you are more than ten yards in succession, you will not be able to get close to me, Alan." ”

"That's right!" Thinking of the fireballs that Jiang Zhe could maintain for a long time, Alan touched his chin a little depressedly.

Anyway, he can't keep up with the speed of the fireball now, oh no, he can't even keep up with the speed of the fireball now, after all, the knight's sword is too heavy.

"I'll go first!"

Standing at the door and saying hello, Jiang Zhe walked out of the room.

Looking at the background of his departure, Scott put away the pocket watch in his hand and looked out the window with his teacup.

Thirteen seconds......

Indeed, if it were a duel, the thirteen-second cast time was almost fatal, and the opponent had countless chances to interrupt him......

But this is based on the fact that it does not rely on any spells or items at all......

Thinking of this, Scott couldn't help but recall the battle with the fifth-grade seniors two days ago......

Four fireballs, four fireballs with a high degree of compression, and the flames from the explosion swept almost the entire field......

Although it took a lot of time to prepare......

But that power ......

According to the senior's words, it was an energy comparable to fourth-level magic......

Remember that time......

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Hey, hey!" In Allen's strange scream, a fiery red light flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and then countless red flames exploded in mid-air, and for a while, the entire venue was like a sea of fire.

Because it was far away, Dia's water system shield only shook and spread out a circle of ripples, but the seniors on the opposite side were engulfed in a massive amount of flames......

"No......" Lilia's eyes widened in surprise.

"Hey, those seniors are fine, I think they're pretty good......" Alan muttered.

"Stupid, see clearly!" Scott whispered, glancing at Allen, "They cast their defensive magic in time and didn't seem to be hurt...... But Soth, how did you do that?" he said, turning back to Jiang Zhe.

Even Dia couldn't help but turn to Jiang Zhe, her eyes were full of amazement, obviously unable to understand how Jiang Zhe did it, and at the same time, she was also shocked by the power of this magic.

Facing everyone's doubts, Jiang Zhe explained with a wry smile, "I just remembered what the professor said that day, so I want to try ......"

At this time, the flames on the field had gradually receded, because the senior Bobby on the opposite side used the fire absorption enchantment, and used the enchantment to absorb the flames in the field, so as not to cause a fire, which is something that the senior students must pay attention to during the event.

Isn't this a complete injury? Seeing that the three fifth-grade students on the opposite side lifted the enchantment unharmed, not to mention everyone, even Jiang Zhe himself was very surprised, because of the protection of Dia's water system shield, he was full of energy just now......

"Huh!" A fireball appeared again in the field, and under Jiang Zhe's mental control, the crimson flame gradually turned yellow.

"Are you still coming?" Senior Bobby pointed at his wand, and a fire bomb was almost instantaneously unleashed, flying into the air, detonating it, and then, he glanced at Jiang Zhe deeply, and when he sensed that Jiang Zhe was still full of magical energy, he shrugged helplessly and said, "Forget it, we will be even more embarrassed if we continue to fight, we will admit defeat!"

"Admit defeat, you admit defeat?" Jiang Zhe was stunned, because he could also feel the magic aura on the seniors opposite, except for the magic aura of Senior Bobby, which was weaker, the magic aura of the other two was still very strong, and the senior named Qiao had almost no loss of magic power.

"There's no way!" Glancing at the large white mist left behind by the disappearance of the three tusked wind wolves on the field, Senior Sam scratched his head and said, "The academy stipulates that when we meet your junior students, we can only cast a third-level magic at most, in this case, I can't summon high-level magical beasts, and Bobby is too, and a third-level magic can't break that junior's protective shield in a short time......"

Hearing the words of praise from the senior opposite, Dia's slightly pale face showed a little crimson, in fact, she was almost at the limit.

“...... And Joe only focuses on strengthening and defending magic, and the only attack magic is curse, but unfortunately it is also limited...... Although I didn't suffer any damage, but blindly defensive, we will be laughed at when it is spread, so let's take advantage of no one to see it, and admit defeat as soon as possible......"

As he spoke, Sam glanced at Jiang Zhe and said with a smile, "I remember that when we were in the first grade, we could hardly perform any decent magic, the magic you just now has reached the energy standard of the fourth-level magic, if you break the protective shield, we will definitely be laughed to death......"

As soon as the words fell, Senior Bobby beside him said to Jiang Zhe, "Is it Professor Huo De who is teaching the first-year fire blue magic course now?"

"Yes!" Jiang Zhe nodded subconsciously.

"No wonder," Senior Bobby put away the wand in his hand and said with a smile, "That magic just now, Professor Hodd taught you?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Zhe was stunned.

At this time, the three seniors had already walked in front of everyone, and Dia had already lifted the protective shield when they 'conceded defeat', because she really didn't have much time left.

As if seeing the confusion on Jiang Zhe's face, Senior Bobbi recalled, "I remember that when I was in the third grade, Professor Huo De once gave us a few classes, and during an extracurricular practice, in order to explain the fireball technique, Professor Huo De used such a magic, of course, much faster than you, but unfortunately, no one could master it at that time, because the requirements for mental power and control were too high, and more importantly, the affinity of the fire element......" As he spoke, he paused, looked at Jiang Zhe and asked suspiciously, " Is your soul strong?"

"Soul power?" Jiang Zhe obviously didn't understand.

"Heh," Senior Bobby was stunned, then laughed at himself, and said, "When you are in the third grade, you will naturally come into contact with it, and if we are seen that we can't even deal with the first and third grade students, we will be laughed to death!"

With that, the three seniors said hello and turned to leave, leaving only the relieved crowd and Jiang Zhe with a confused face.

Soul Power ......

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Soul Power ......

Professor Hodd seems to have mentioned it at some point......

Forget it, I can't remember......

Sitting in the corner of the fire blue magic classroom, looking at Professor Hodd at the front of the classroom, he pointed to the spells on the blackboard and explained in detail,

Listening to him talk about the history of that spell and the famous magicians in various histories, Jiang Zhe only felt an infinite sleepiness welling up......

With a yawn, Jiang Zhe was a little absent-minded, holding his head and looking out the window, at this time, a slight cough came from a place next to him.

"......" turned his head to look at the place where he was seated apart, looked at the girl with hair like flames and glanced at himself, Gu Zi was taking notes, Jiang Zhe had an indescribable sense of powerlessness.

"Pride is not what a magician should have!" said the girl named Lavia in a low voice.

Barely converging a few smiles, Jiang Zhe said strangely, "First of all, I don't understand what you said, and secondly, ...... Shouldn't you be in the first row?"

"Because I've always wanted to know what you can see in the last row......" Lavia said in a very serious tone.

"......" Jiang Zhe opened his mouth, his expression a little depressed. Clearly, Lavia's coughing over and over again stressed him down.

"I'll keep an eye on you until I actually beat you!"

"......" Listening to the categorical words, Jiang Zhe covered his forehead and looked at Lavia speechlessly.

At this time, Lavia was looking at the blackboard and swiping the shorthand book with her palm, and after a few faint glimmers of light from the yellowish paper, some strange symbols gradually appeared, exactly the same as the spell symbols on the blackboard.

This is the most common shorthand technique used by magicians when memorizing materials, and it is very simple and can be learned in the second grade.

Probably misunderstood Jiang Zhe's eyes, Lavia turned her head and explained, "Shorthand magic, don't use this, you can't keep up with Professor Huode's course records, if you want to learn, I can teach you." ”

"Thank you!" Jiang Zhe said.

Usually this sentence usually means accepting the other party's kindness and thanking him, but that guy...... Lavia could obviously hear the meaning of Jiang Zhe's words, and her little face suddenly became a little unsightly, she snorted lightly and said in a low voice, "Arrogance is not what a magician should have!"

Yes?

Jiang Zhe was stunned, feeling a little funny, and said strangely, "If you just want to defeat me, you don't have to use this way, right?"

"No!" I saw Lavia stop taking notes, turned her head to look at Jiang Zhe and said seriously, "If that's the case, it doesn't mean anything to me at all! The stronger you are, the more I can prove ......" Speaking of this, she paused, looking a little lost.

"Proof what?" Jiang Zhe asked subconsciously.

"Shut up!" I saw Lavia glaring at Jiang Zhe fiercely, and mocked in a low voice, "If you're not afraid of being ridiculed for losing to a woman, you can continue like this...... And I, I will remember every word the professor says, master every skill taught by the professor, and I will work hard to catch up with you step by step...... Although defeating you at that time may not give me any sense of accomplishment!"

Boy!

Looking at the puffing appearance of the little girl in front of him, Jiang Zhe surrendered.

"Okay, then you feel free!"

"You!" Jiang Zhe's fluttering words made Lavia's face flush with anger, and she glared at Jiang Zhe viciously, and her right hand almost knocked over the ink on the table.

How so?!

When ordinary people hear it, they will at least work harder, right?

Damn fellows!

Could he ......

As if thinking of something, Lavia looked at the boy yawning with his head in his complicated eyes, biting his lip and whispering, "Soth, do you despise me because I'm a woman?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Zhe turned his head inexplicably.

"Is that so?"

Looking at the girl looking at him with stubborn eyes, Jiang Zhe felt incomprehensible, and said inexplicably, "Are you a woman, what does it have to do with me? Woman? Are you still a little early? Besides, when did I despise you? I did my best two days ago!"

I saw Lavia staring at Jiang Zhe's eyes for a long time, then her eyes gradually softened, she hesitated, and said in a low voice, "That's good, I swear I will try very hard to catch up with you...... I...... I swear in the name of the magician!"

"Yes, yes, and then?" Jiang Zhe yawned.

"I'll beat you!"

"Yes, yes, and then?"

"You!" Obviously, Jiang Zhe's casual tone made Lavia feel very angry, but she still tried to calm her emotions after receiving an aristocratic education since she was a child, and said in a low voice, "So no matter what, please at least make my challenge to you more valuable!"

"Heh!" Jiang Zhe smiled bitterly, tapped his fingers on the table, and let out a long breath.

Looks like we'll see what happens in the future......
