During the duel, a real magician will detect the opponent's magic fluctuations, the proportion and density of each element around the opponent, and the arrangement of the elements to estimate the magic that the opponent will use, and then make countermeasures in turn and choose to use the corresponding magic.

If you're very familiar with your opponent's magical surname, you can even choose to interrupt key parts of your opponent's chanting or chanting spells with Rush Magic.

This is the real battle between magicians!

In the eyes of senior magicians, magic is not as powerful as possible, and magic with great damage means that it needs to condense more elements and takes a long time.

It can be said that when a real magician duels against each other, they will not see a few high-level magics, because senior magicians will choose to use fast-attack magic to disrupt the opponent to cast spells, create opportunities for their own high-level magic, and control the enemy's magic, one is enough!

And in the various levels of magic, the third level and above have a dangerous surname, and the fourth level may kill people, even the great magician, in the case of defenselessness, can not withstand several five or six level magic, as for the sixth level and above...... That's pretty much the realm of forbidden spells, so there's no need to say anything more.

Therefore, if a magician reaches the level of instantaneous magic, even if it is just a small fireball technique, he will be respected by his peers, and the forbidden spell is similar to a nuclear bomb in Jiang Zhe's previous life, and most of the effects are just deterrence.

Of course, it is not excluded that the forbidden spell can be used to cause large-scale destruction, such as the 'one-year war' between the Empire and Salonia more than a decade ago, which is a tragic past that neither country wants to mention.

Therefore, in the field of magic, it is not that the more powerful the magic, the more people are admired, of course, it is not that those almost powerless rapid attack magic are loved by the majority of magicians, all in all, every magic has its role, and choosing the right magic at the critical moment is the test for magicians!

He...... Can you comprehend it?

This kid named Soth?

Looking at the child with his eyes closed about ten yards away from him, Professor Hodd couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.

'The Battle of the Real Magicians', this course is only mentioned to the students in the fifth grade, is it a bit early for this first-year child?

Mana Fluctuations...... It's not that easy to understand!

However, if he can't comprehend the magic fluctuations, he won't be able to enter the next stage of cultivation...... Alas!

I hope this smart kid is also superhuman in comprehension...... Expect so!

Professor Huo De sighed secretly and stood quietly in place, after all, such a mysterious thing as magic power fluctuations cannot be taught in words.

Call......

Suck......

Quiet......

While Professor Huo De was anxious, Jiang Zhe was adjusting his breathing with his eyes closed.

But nothing was gained......

I have to say that Jiang Zhe was very astute, and instantly grasped the meaning of Professor Huo De's words, and remembered about the magic fluctuation, but Jiang Zhe didn't have the slightest clue about how to perceive this magic fluctuation.

A drop of sweat gradually slipped down the corner of his forehead, and the subtle itching made his already impatient heart even more restless......

His breathing grew heavy and rapid......

"Huh?"

Professor Huo De immediately sensed that something was wrong with Jiang Zhe.

Like everyone, Professor Huo De also 'saw' the light blue aura representing magic on Jiang Zhe's body, outside the light blue breath, there was a rich fiery red aura, these were the fire elements attached to his side, the stronger the affinity, the stronger the attachment to this element.

But now, the magical aura on that child's body emitted abnormal fluctuations, and the fire elemental aura beside him gradually became violent, and even more, there was some black aura faintly stained in the magical aura, and those black aura were coming with bursts of anxiety and uneasiness......

This is......

Could it be a magic backlash?

How so?

Professor Huo De was surprised, and at this time, he heard Jiang Zhe's deep and rapid breathing, and suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted, "Soth, look with your heart, calm down, look with your heart!"

Professor Huo De's shouting made Jiang Zhe's heart startled, and at the same time, there seemed to be a warm current in his left hand that slowly flowed through his whole body, which was cold and piercing, and suddenly Jiang Zhe's restless mood dissipated......

In Professor Huode's eyes, the black aura on Jiang Zhe's body suddenly retreated, leaving only pure magical aura, and those violent fire elements gradually quieted down......

Quiet......

Look at the ......

Call......

Suck......

Suddenly, Jiang Zhe couldn't hear any sound......

For a short moment, he felt the subtle sounds in his ears, the chirping of insects, the chirping of birds, the running water, and even the breeze caressing......

Call......

Suck......

This feeling...... That's nice......

"Oh my God, this kid is a genius!" Professor Hodd muttered in disbelief what he saw.

But there was one thing that made him a little concerned......

The magical aura on that child's body just now suddenly doubled, and then suddenly receded, what was going on?

Also, the fire elemental beside this child is very dense, but why is the fire elemental aura near his left hand obviously weak?

It seems to have a feeling that the fire element cannot enter......

Odd......

Speaking of which, this child often puts his left hand with a white hood in his pocket, and I have never seen him use his left hand a few times, so the child usually uses his right hand, is this because of this? The left hand does not have enough affinity for the fire element?

This can't be, this level of fire elemental aura is impossible......

"Professor!" Just when Professor Huo De was puzzled, Jiang Zhe slowly opened his eyes, and there were a few smug smiles on the corners of his mouth, and that kind of smile made Professor Huo De's eyes light up.

"What? Did you give up?" Professor Hodd said deliberately, putting aside Fang Cai's doubts.

"How is that possible!" Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, his open eyes were unusually bright, as if they were covered with a thin layer of light blue mist.

"I see it, Professor!"

Jiang Zhe smiled, but was very shocked in his heart, was that really Professor Huo De?

That powerful magical aura......

Jiang Zhe swallowed his saliva secretly, he clearly saw that Professor Huo De's whole body was covered with a rich blue aura, these auras were like liquid flames, spreading under Professor Huo De's feet, and outside those blue aura, there were overwhelming fire elements, far more than himself.

"Judging by your expression, it looks like you've succeeded!" Professor Hodd clapped his hands in a small approving, and then said in a very serious tone, "Be proud of yourself, Soth, you have opened the first door to magic!"

"The first gate?"

"Hmm!" Huo De nodded and looked up at the sky, "A magician who can't sense the breath of magic, no matter how strong he is, can't touch the true meaning of magic......"

"The true meaning?" Jiang Zhe was stunned and asked in surprise, "Professor, what is the true meaning of magic?"

"The true meaning of magic...... Professor Huo De paused, looked at Jiang Zhe and smiled, "It's too early for you, when the time comes, even if I don't say it, you will understand!"

Jiang Zhe pursed his lips secretly and asked, "Professor, the first gate is to sense the magic breath, but what about the second door?"

"Hey, you want to know?" Professor Hodder smiled wryly.

At the same time, Jiang Zhe suddenly found that the rich light blue aura of Professor Huo De's whole body had receded completely, if the magic power fluctuation was a characteristic of a magician, then Professor Huo De in front of him was like an ordinary person who couldn't do magic.

"Got it?"

Jiang Zhe's eyes widened and he nodded, "Understood...... "It seems that Professor Huo De is probably also a professor with almost the strength of a great magician."

"Now that you understand, let's continue!" As he spoke, Professor Huo De let go and restrained his magic aura again, pointed to the eight fireballs suspended around him, and hooked his finger at Jiang Zhe with an indifferent expression.

Jiang Zhe smiled bitterly.

If that indifferent aura is the manifestation of the aura of magic, then when the magic is cast, the aura of mana will fluctuate......

It's moving!

Jiang Zhe's eyes tightened, and he clearly saw the light blue aura in front of Professor Huo De move slightly...... Front!

Hey!

"Boom!"

A fireball smashed into Professor Hodd's back, and with a loud bang, black-gray smoke suddenly covered the professor.

But......

"Haha, have you been fooled?" came Professor Hodd's hearty laugh through the smoke.

The smoke gradually cleared......

"How is it possible!" Jiang Zhe was stunned.

Shaking his finger at Jiang Zhe, Professor Huo De said with a smile, "In the second lesson, don't stare at the opponent's magic breath, it's useless, how can you compare to perception with your eyes? Can you see the magic breath behind me with your eyes? I knew you would be fooled! Hahaha, it's so interesting......

"Tsk!" Jiang Zhe pouted dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, okay," probably seeing Jiang Zhe's expression, Professor Huo De spread his hands like a surrender, and said with a smile, "That's still a little early for you...... Well, anyway, I'm still satisfied, so I'll start teaching you the third lesson, come!" he said, hooking his fingers, but at the same time as his fingers moved, Jiang Zhe's fireball was already rushing towards him with hatred.

"Hey, you little ghost!" Professor Huo De said as he pretended to be panicked, and then his eyes changed, and with a wave of his right hand, he blocked Jiang Zhe's fireball when it was half a yard away from him......

Not?

Looking at the fireball took on a strange twist, as if it had been sucked into a black hole, and in the blink of an eye, the fireball disappeared into a godless ......

What's going on? Jiang Zhe pouted in surprise.

This time, Professor Hodd was really a little disappointed, but at the same time, he felt a little funny.

"What's that look on your face, South, and I wonder how much you've listened to Professor Amyx's lessons!"

Professor Amyx?

Defence Against the Dark Arts?!

"Looks like you've remembered," Professor Hodd smiled and said in a deep voice, "why Defence Against the Dark Arts is mandatory, you should understand it now, right?"

"Hmm......" Jiang Zhe thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Distorted!"

"Very good! Defence Against the Dark Arts is a compulsory course because of its practicality! As a dark mage who explores the mysteries of magic, in order to protect your own life, you had better keep this course firmly in your heart!

Jiang Zhe tilted his head, rolled his eyes, raised his right hand, and two fireballs attacked Professor Huo De's left and right sides at the same time......

"Yo!"

The corners of Professor Huo De's mouth pulled upward, his hands stretched out, and in Jiang Zhe's stunned eyes, he actually slapped one fireball into the air at the same time, and slapped another fireball into the ground.

Hearing only a bang, Jiang Zhe saw a shallow pit emitting green smoke appear on the ground.

"Yo, the power is good," Glancing at the pit on the ground, Professor Huo De said with a smile, then straightened his face and said in a deep voice, "The magic just now is accompanied by the special surname of 'rebound'! For ball and arrow magic, this magic is very useful! Just like just now, if I just hit these two fireballs at you, you will have to dodge, or use magic to resist." Remember, even if you cast a spell, it won't always work in your favor!

The magic just now, [Twist] is more demanding in terms of control, [Rebound] is relatively small, and as long as the opponent is not too stupid, it will not let you find a chance to counterattack...... What kind of expression are you, it's you, you think the magic is over? As for [Absorption], the special surname of this magic is equivalent to the shield defense magic in green magic, although the effect is much smaller, but the consumption of mana is also very small.

The reason why this magic is revered is because it is very fast, can be maintained for a long time, consumes little, and is not visible on the outside - when you are in a dangerous situation, it can help you block the first wave of attacks, and this is the preciousness of this magic - not everyone has the same talent as you!"

In fact, Jiang Zhe had heard these words from Professor Amix, but at that time he was obviously one ear in and one ear out, and it was not until now that the Defence Against the Dark Arts technique was performed by Professor Hodd that he understood why Reokes would make this course a compulsory course instead of blue magic.

"Whew," Jiang Zhe couldn't help but be a little discouraged by Professor Huo De's blow, scratched his head and said, "Professor, what about next? What is the fourth class?"

"There's no fourth class today," Professor Hodd said, shaking his head and smiling, "I'm done with what I'm going to say......

Looking at Professor Huo De's smile, Jiang Zhe had a bad premonition for no reason, and said, "That's ...... Since the professor is done, I'll go back first?"

"Go back?" Professor Hodd looked up, summoned a crimson fireball from his right hand, and said with a smile, "Of course, depending on your performance, you can choose whether to go back by yourself or I will take you back......

"No...... Don't, professor......" Jiang Zhe swallowed, and at the same time, several fireballs appeared beside him.

"Yo! it looks like you're already conscious!" Professor Hodd said with a smile and pouting, "Little ghost! it was all foreplay, and now it's a lesson......!

"Hey, Professor, don't......"

Rumble!

Boom!

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

As the sky gradually darkens, the lights in the castle dimmed, and a bright moon hung in the midst of the stars, sprinkling milky white moonlight.

The fountain garden in front of the castle still inhabited some students, but after being reminded by the professors, the students of Reox almost all returned to their dormitories, which was the tower to the west.

Like most people, Alan and Scott returned to their dorm room after dinner.

Compared to the always energetic Allen, Scott looked much more tired, and he had not yet recovered from the continuous stay up late.

"Theowri!"

Standing outside the door and chanting a spell, the simple, archaic door of the dormitory room creaked open.

Alan probed his head and looked inside the room, and when he saw that it was pitch black, he turned around and said in surprise, "It's strange, Soth didn't come back?"

Scott frowned, pushed the door open, and walked in.

"Light!"

With a soft snap, the stars on the ceiling emitted a light that illuminated every room.

"There is indeed no ......" looked inside and out, and seeing that there was no Jiang Zhe, Scott looked a little puzzled.

Before dinner, Scott and Alan had gone back to the dormitory, but they didn't find their roommates at that time, at that time, they thought that Jiang Zhe had gone out to look for them, but as a result, they didn't see Jiang Zhe at dinner time, and they didn't even see him after they came back, and the two felt a little strange.

My roommate isn't someone who likes to hang out!

In Scott's opinion, if Allen's hobby is to wipe his knightly armor, then South's hobby is probably to stare at the fireballs he casts - he prefers to lie on the couch and sleep or be in a daze rather than hang out and socialize.

"That's weird...... Touching his head, Alan habitually pulled out the knight's sword from under the bed and blew at the blade, making Scott roll his eyes.

"I heard that there is a masquerade ball at the end of the year, did that guy look for a female companion in advance?" Directly wiping the knight's sword with the corner of the magic robe, Alan said absentmindedly.

Scott didn't answer, just rolled his eyes and lay down on the edge of the bed with a thick notebook in his hand.

"By the way, Scott," as if remembering something, Alan asked, holding a knight's sword, "There's no rule in the academy that you can't bring this thing with you when you move, right?"

Glancing at the glowing knight's sword, Scott sneered, "Of course - if the knight's sword is used as a necessary tool for you to cast magic, I don't think the academy will say anything more. ”

Hearing the mockery in Scott's words, Alan shook his head and sighed, "That's a shame - isn't armor good?"

"......" Scott rolled over and turned his back to the guy, out of sight and out of mind.

I have to say that Alan is indeed an idle guy, even if no one accosted him, he still talked alone for half an hour, which made Scott's eyelids jump, and he really wanted to reward that guy with a curse.

Around this moment, the door creaked open, and a weak voice came.

"It's back......"

"South?" Scott was stunned, sat up straight, and watched Jiang Zhe walk in from the outside room with a grim face.

"Hey, man," Alan said in a strange tone, wiping a piece of armarmor mechanically, "what's wrong with you?"

"Alas," with a long sigh, Jiang Zhe took off his dusty magic robe and threw it aside, fell straight on his bed, and said weakly, "Don't mention it, I was dragged out by Professor Huo De to practice alone for an afternoon, and now I have come back - do you have something to eat? starvation!"

Looking at the weak Jiang Zhe, Scott was a little amused, pushed his glasses and said strangely, "This, we thought you had already eaten it......"

"How can I have a chance," Jiang Zhe said with wide eyes, "I was practiced by the professor for an afternoon, recited more than a few hundred mantras, and cast fireballs so that I couldn't come back...... Anyway, nothing?"

"Uh," Scott hesitated, "I think there were a few more cakes......

"It's a pity, man," Ellen grinned, grinning white, "I got up in the middle of the night and got up in the middle of the night to get up and settle those cakes." ”

"You ......"

"No, man, just kidding," Alan laughed as he stood in front of him with his armarmor, "and it's on the long table outside, oh, I remember there are two jugs of milk over the fireplace......"

"I hate milk!" Jiang Zhe reluctantly got up and brought in the 'dinner' that was placed outside.

"Soth, Professor Hodd has taught you new magic?" asked Scott, surprised.

"No," reluctantly swallowing a piece of cake, Jiang Zhe took a sip of water from the glass, and said listlessly, "Can you imagine?

"Boom?" Scott was stunned, then understood, pushed his eyes funny, and said, "But I should have learned a lot from your expression, right?"

"Maybe!" Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, but the confidence in his smile made Scott and Allen stunned.

A duel between real magicians......

Only when you enter the first door can you touch the edge of magic......

Using his mental power to control three fireballs suspended under the ceiling, Jiang Zhe lay on the bed with his hands on his pillow.

Perhaps the professor was right, powerful magic doesn't just mean high-level magic......

Slowly stretching out his right hand, Jiang Zhe took a deep breath and controlled a fireball to fly into his hand......

......The fireball faded away, replaced by a hint of crimson flame.

Flame, the simple outward manifestation of the fire element, is one of the most basic forms of magic.

Why did Professor Hodd allow himself to turn the fireball back into flames?

And what is the purpose of the diffusion of magical energy?

What is the true meaning of magic?

With many doubts in his heart, Jiang Zhe gradually fell asleep.

And when the sun rises again tomorrow, it will be the beginning of the traditional activities of the Reochs Academy......

PS: Whoo...... Sleepy......
