"Caesar-san, would you like to be my student?"

"I ...... Willing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

......

War.

War has accelerated the world.

A hundred years ago, a profession called "Battle Mage", which people had never seen before, suddenly appeared, and then violently broke the original pattern of the world.

Within a year, the dragons at the top of the world were almost extinct, and the forest tribes, who originally occupied large areas of land in the north, were defeated all the way and forced to move south.

The battle mage invaded like fire, like a huge bulldozer, pushing it from north to south! It was not until the "Hengduan Mountain Range" in the middle of the continent that they were stopped by the southern mage clan from continuing their attack. The battle mages then quietly retreated, and the southern mage race survived.

Since then, with the Hengduan Mountains as the boundary, the mages and battle mages have been separated from the north and the south, and there has been constant friction for a hundred years, and there has been no large-scale war for a while.

......

......

War brings barbarism, destroys civilization, and at the same time accelerates the world.

Aoki City, a small fishing village a hundred years ago, is now the largest port city in the Southern Wind and Thunder Empire. Located on the eastern coastline of the Empire, Aoki City becomes very lively in the spring when the climate warms up, a large number of forest caravans come to visit, and people from all over the empire come to visit, recuperate, and vacation.

However, this excitement has nothing to do with Caesar.

Caesar glanced out the window at the white sand and turquoise waves, then turned his gaze back to the podium.

This is Aoki Academy, a classroom for Class 6 of the middle grade.

On the podium, a middle-aged male teacher with a gentle appearance is explaining the chapter "A Hundred Years of History: An Accelerated World": "...... A hundred years ago, the once glorious and powerful southern magician race suffered a heavy blow. The various branches of mages have been extinct one after another, and now only we, the Wind and Thunder Mages, remain. Students, have you ever wondered why only we can survive and build a powerful empire?"

Caesar thought for a moment and raised his hand to show that he knew the answer.

The teacher only glanced at him, and then continued: "There is only one reason, because only we Wind and Thunder Mage clan have adapted to the 'speed' of battle mages! ”

Caesar felt that the teacher was looking at him blankly when he said "the only one". Caesar raised his hand again, this time to indicate that he had a question to ask, but again he was ignored.

There was sporadic laughter in the class, and a boy asked the person next to him, "Who is that guy?

The questionee was a little surprised: "That's Caesar, you don't know him?" Oh yes, you just transferred here half a year ago, and Caesar hasn't been in the academy for half a year...... Shhhh ”

The middle-aged teacher's name is Shabiye, and he glanced at the two students who were whispering, then turned on the projector, pulled down the screen again, and said, "There is a video from a hundred years ago below. After reading it, you will understand why 'speed' is so important. ”

Caesar pursed his lips and lowered his hand, not discouraged. The students by the window had closed the curtains, the students by the door had turned off the lights, and the classroom was darkened.

After a moment of focus adjustment, a giant dragon roaming through the forest appeared on the projection screen, and this legendary creature was as huge as a mountain, proud and majestic.

Caesar stared.

On the screen, the image of the dragon walking leisurely in the forest lasted for about three seconds, and from the fourth second, the dragon suddenly trembled.

Without warning, its scales were lifted piece by piece, its skin was sliced open, its wings were broken, its muscles were torn, and its bones were crushed...... It was all very sudden, there was no sound on the screen, but you could still feel the inexplicable fear of the dragon from the way it rolled and roared in pain.

Yes, inexplicable fear. Because the dragon doesn't know what's attacking it! It's like there's an invisible hand about to tear it apart.

The invisible hand was a swift figure that swept across the dragon's body.

The man was so fast that at first glance there was no one at all. The students all had a hard time watching. Caesar relied on his excellent dynamic vision, and he usually watched this kind of battle video, and he barely kept up.

Three minutes and a second later, the dragon died, dismembered into parts all over the ground.

Only then did the figure of the attacker emerge, a guy who looked no different from a normal human. Caesar looked at the figure, clenched his fists, and muttered in a low voice, "Monster ......"

The man seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the camera.

Even if the person is 100 meters away from the camera, even if the image is 100 years away from now, the students still feel their hearts being clenched at the moment when the person sees it!

The figure disappeared silently from a hundred meters away, and when it reappeared, it had already come to the camera camera, destroying the camera in an instant.

The screen freezes on the final frame, which is a young handsome face close to the camera, seventeen or eighteen years old, with sharp and cold eyes, dark eyes, and black hair.

This is the Battlemage. ”

Shabiye turned off the projector, looked at the silent students, and said softly:

"An adult dragon is stronger than me, but it was killed and dismembered in three minutes, and this is the 'speed' of the Northern Battle Mage. Battlemages are terrifying, and they can still maintain stability, judgment, accuracy, and ...... in the extremely fast pace of combat Perfect lethality.

This is the world we live in, a world accelerated by battlemages.

History proves that all existences with unrivaled strength, strong defenses, but not enough speed have been eliminated by the arrival of battle mages. Dragons, forests, and classical magicians. ”

"Teacher, there's more!" a boy suddenly raised his hand, "I also know something that is destined to be eliminated from the world because it is too slow." ”

The boy's name is Leo, and he is one of the top students in the class.

Sabiya sighed and asked, "What?"

Leo said, "That's it...... O Caesar!"

There was a bang, and the whole class burst into laughter!

Caesar frowned and turned to look at Leo, who was saying to the girl next to him, "Lisa, seeing you smiling so happily, am I wrong?"

Lisa is the most beautiful girl in the class, her appearance is still immature, but her eyebrows and eyes are already charming. At this time, she was laughing so much that she couldn't speak, when she suddenly saw Caesar's eyes, she barely stopped laughing, and complained to Leo, "You are really, why do you make fun of your classmates......?" Hahaha......"

Leo took the opportunity to get closer and chuckled, "Well, I'll not joke next time." In return, let's have dinner together tonight?"

"You're annoying......"

The conversation between the two was very soft, but Caesar listened to it all.

Caesar withdrew his gaze, turned his head, released his clenched fist little by little, and then took control of his body to stop the slight trembling of anger.

There are not only students in the class, but also more than a dozen teachers, and this is not a simple class, but the first public class of the new spring semester.

Because of Leo's words, the public class, which was still serious and solemn before, instantly returned to the fresh atmosphere that had just started.

As for the battle mage or something...... In the minds of the students, it is nothing more than a distant legend. No matter how terrible those guys are, weren't they still blocked north of the Hengduan Mountains a hundred years ago?

Teacher Sabier coughed lightly, and he was always stern, and it was rare that he did not reprimand Leo for his obviously excessive speech.

This made the corners of Caesar's mouth overflow with a mocking sneer.

As a level 12 Wind and Thunder Mage, Shabiye's combat prowess and teaching skills are excellent, but it is said that life outside the classroom is not respectable. He is a member of the Roy family, one of the three major families in Aoki City, and was once a second-order soldier of the empire.

At this time, a boy asked, "Teacher, can't you use magic to slow down the speed of the battle mage?"

Shabie smiled slightly: "Battle mages have a special physique, whether it is traditional classical magic or the emerging dragon vein spell, the effect on their speed reduction is not obvious. Unless...... Only by cultivating the Wind and Thunder Body Technique to the highest level and forming a domain can the speed of the Battle Mage be effectively reduced. But at present, only the Marshal of the Reich can do this. ”

Unlike the traditional impression of mages with weak bodies, the special group of wind and thunder mages not only cultivates magic, but also cultivates physical arts.

A hundred years ago, the Imperial Marshal created the "Wind and Thunder Physical Technique", which was specifically aimed at the "Advanced Physical Technique" unique to Northern Battle Mages.

This set of physical techniques with "speed" as the basic requirement allows the Wind and Thunder Mage to finally gain a firm foothold in front of the northern invaders, otherwise he will be killed in seconds if he can't even recite a magic spell.

The magicians who stood in place and cast spells in the old days are long gone, and today's wind and thunder mages are all casting spells and fighting in high-speed movement and confrontation.

Shabiye said: "Okay, now I need two classmates to come to the stage and practice the Wind and Thunder Physical Technique." Leo, come up. ”

Leo smiled and got up.

Empire's open classes are not just a formality, students' performance in open classes will be recorded, and these are important application materials when applying to military schools in the future.

Teacher Sabier ordered Leo, and there was one person missing, so almost all the 90 or so students in the class raised their hands, hoping that they would be next.

This time, Caesar did not raise his hand.

Then I heard Teacher Shabia say, "Caesar, come up too." ”

The curtains were reopened, and the sun shone in. The students looked at Leo and Caesar standing in front of the podium and wondered if this was not a clear result.

Leo was one of the best students in the class.

As for Caesar, it was not for nothing that he had been run by Leo and ridiculed by his classmates before. In Aoki Academy, Caesar is not small, he has super-first-class physical fitness, and a near-perfect talent for dragon vein spells, but his physical speed is ...... But it's so slow that it's a miracle of the Empire.

The standard punch speed of a level 3 Wind and Thunder Mage is eight punches per second.

Caesar punched less than four times in a second, three and a half punches.

In the new era of emphasizing speed, this flaw can be called fatal.

Sabiye said: "The two classmates only fought against each other with the Wind and Thunder Physical Technique. I will use your fight as an example to illustrate the essence of physical arts. ”

Leo said respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Sabier." ”

Shabiye said, "The students will learn from each other, and the point will be the end." Before the battle, the two sides shook hands and saluted. ”

"Yes, Mr. Shabiye. ”

Leo smiled and seemed to be polite, took the initiative to come up, shook hands, and said in a voice that only he and Caesar could hear: "No daddy's waste wood, I will greet you well!"
