Chapter 25: The Magic Contest
At noon, the cicadas were chirping in the shade of the trees, the dragonflies were flapping their wings in the air, and as the game was approaching, Victor, Frank, and Bigg had finished their lunch and were heading for the College Square.
The square is full of flowers, walking on the road, it seems that you can still smell the smell of nectar, there seems to be a murmur in the air telling the gentleness of summer, graduation is approaching, Victor is already a little reluctant Orlando School of Magic.
On the terrace of the square, the teachers and students of the six colleges have entered the arena one after another, the alchemy competition in the morning, the magic competition in the afternoon, the magicians of the six courtyards have entered, and the magic competition is about to officially begin.
Victor sat in the back row of the terrace with Frank and Big, and the three of them chatted about the magic game that was about to begin.
"Vidor, Frank, here's the schedule my girlfriend gave me. During the chat, Bigg took a pamphlet from his waist and handed it to Frank.
Taking the booklet, Frank opened it and looked at it, only to see that it was written on the arrangement of the magic competition.
"Victor, let's take a look. Seeing that it was the event arrangement, Frank called out to Vidor, and the two watched together. I saw that it was written: Elemental Magic Tournament and Arcane Magic Tournament Arrangement.
1. Magic Shield Resistance Competition.
2. Magic Knowledge Competition.
3. Battle Magic Showdown.
Of the three major competitions, the first two are "Wendou". The last game is "martial arts", and the three games can comprehensively judge the talent and combat power of the mage, and this game is not simple.
"The first game of the magic match, the magic shield resistance match, has officially begun. In the middle of the square, Ferlando's voice came, and with the blessing of the amplification spell, the whole audience heard it.
The magic shield is the most basic spell in the first-level magic, the water wave barrier, the flame barrier, the earth shield, the wind wall, the arcane shield, the first game is to test these five spells, in the middle of the square, the mages participating in the competition are ready. Six colleges, more than 60 contestants are all performing
The shield was out, and in the center of the square, a colorful magic shield appeared. The crowd unleashed their shields, and the game officially began.
In the center of the square, Dean Fairlandor began to test, and a huge arcane shockwave was unleashed by him.
"Bang, click. "After receiving a blow from Dean Fairlando, nearly half of the shields on the field were shattered. In the first game, regardless of the order, anyone who can block Dean Ferlando's blow is considered to have passed.
Half an hour passed, and the second game came. The first game didn't matter the ranking, so there was no need for the referee to make a serious judgment, but the second game was different, and I saw that all the deans of the magic departments of the six major colleges were all gone.
"The second contest contents: a contest on the theory of magic. Seeing that the dean had gone to the middle of the room, Frank looked at the pamphlet in his hand and whispered.
Coming to this world, Victor has not learned a little magic so far, although he has heard and seen magic, but he has not yet understood the theory of magic! Knowing that it is a magic theory competition, he is also ready to study and learn to supplement his knowledge.
Magical theory is an extremely complex thing, and the assessment is not fixed, the form of the assessment is a written test, and the students who pass the first test take the test paper from Fairlando's hand and start answering the questions. At the same time, in the void, this exam paper question also appeared like smoke. I saw that there were three questions
:
1. The relationship between spiritual unity and elemental content in magic.
2. Theoretical analysis of the twelve attributes of the four major systems. (The four systems do not refer to: water, fire, earth, and wind, this is the classification of ancient magic, and magic was divided into four categories in ancient times, twelve attributes, and four categories: nature, space-time, mystery, and undead.) Twelve attributes: water
Fire, wind, thunder, earth, ice, light, darkness, necromancy, space, time, mind. )
Theoretical analysis of the three or four major categories of magic. (Spell Category, Channeling Category, Formation Category, and Sacrifice Category, collectively referred to as the four categories of magic)
Victor didn't understand any of the three questions, and although he had read countless books on magic on Earth, they were all for entertainment, and this was the first time he had learned about real magic.
By the end of half an hour, less than 10 contestants had completed the three questions, and the exam lasted an hour, until the end of the day, only 20 of them had completed them. The two games are over, and this morning's magic game is also over. At the end of the game, Congressman Philip also looked at it from above
The stage is off, the competition process is not important to him, this test paper is the focus of his attention.
Magic theory is much more important than magic spells, the higher the magician's cultivation, the more magic theory knowledge is needed, so high-level mages are heavy on theory and light on spells, and the so-called "talents" of the necromancer department value only two points, one is the talent of spell theory, and the other is combat ability,
If you choose between the two, this theory is more important than combat ability.
Taking the test paper from the hands of the deans, Philip immediately looked at it. After some selection, he also chose the champion in his mind.
Kerry Coney, a first-class mage in the Arcane Department of the First School of Magic in County Talenmere, is the champion in Philip's heart, and the same person who was named first by the deans.
With the test paper in hand, Philip also read it carefully several times, only to see that the test paper read:
The first question, the relationship between spiritual unity and elemental content in magic, is answered as follows:
"Spiritual power represents the strength of a person's brain waves, and the higher the strength of the brain waves, the more elements a person can control, which is commonly known as a high-level mage. Spiritual unity represents mental control, the stronger the control, the more people can exert the power of magic, control the elements by the spirit and use the elements, this is an ordinary mage, the mage who really understands magic should complete the elemental magic with a unified spirit. ”
This is the answer of Kerry Koney, and it is close to perfect. As a first-order mage, it was not easy to understand spiritual power and elements, but he actually linked spiritual unity and the use of elemental magic spells, which was almost the theoretical level of a middle and high-level magician.
The answer is close to perfect, but not perfect, and the answer to this question is not finished.
"It is recorded in the Junior Mage Magic Handbook that high-cost magic cannot be used when you are in a bad mental state. Due to the poor mental condition, the magician's control over the elements will be weakened, and the forcible use of magic will cause backlash, which just proves the relationship between spiritual unity and elemental content. The answer is perfect.
In the first sentence, Kerry is talking about high-level mages, and in the second sentence, he is talking about the content of the encyclopedia of magic.
The second question is a theoretical analysis of the twelve attributes of the four major systems. ”
"The third question is a theoretical analysis of the four major categories of magic. ”
After reading three questions in a row, Philip has already decided to recruit Kerry into the Necromantic Department of the Council.
