Chapter 30: Geralson's Test
When busy, time always flies, and in the blink of an eye, the ten-day deadline has arrived.
These days, Leo has successfully completed the learning content arranged by Geralsson, and not only that, but he also used the remaining three days to think carefully about the various scenarios that may arise in the tournament.
According to his analysis, the way to test a mage's personal ability is nothing more than the understanding and application of magical knowledge. As long as you follow these two items, you will not fall out of the right scope.
Among them, understanding comes from books, including the accumulation and precipitation of knowledge, the mastery of magical principles, and so on. And the application is easier to understand, it is nothing more than the ability to cast spells and the use of various magic techniques.
Of course, this is easy to say, but if you want to refine it, each project can be divided into unclear branches.
Underneath the branches, there are many more. After all, the ocean of magic is extremely vast and vast, and even if you are as powerful as a legendary mage, you can't master all of them, so you can only choose one or a few of them to specialize.
With this realization, Leo quickly found a targeted approach.
Focusing on specialization, supplemented by comprehensive expansion. While improving your specialization, you can use the rest of your time to study on a large scale, and strive to learn more about the scope of magic, at least when you encounter special things, so that you will not be ignorant and unable to deal with them.
Right now, Leo's spellcasting specialization is the Fire Elemental sub-faction of the Shaping faction, so it's only natural that he has to work on it. However, he also knew that the magic of the Shaping faction often pursued strong attack power, that is, there was a single kill, and there was also area suppression, which was a very important means to fight the enemy, but in terms of generality and functionality, it was inferior to the magic of other factions.
To solve this problem. In addition to continuing to study and strengthen his own attack power, Leo must master as many low-level magic as possible from other factions to make up for his shortcomings in other aspects.
In the sub-school, he is mainly based on the apothecary of the alchemy school.
In this respect, Leo's foundation is inherited from Joseph's castle. Enlightenment teacher Byron himself is an excellent alchemist, which saves him a lot of detours. And as the pearl of alchemy. Bloodline Essence production covers almost all aspects of pharmacy, so Leo also studied it as a foundation.
You must know that it is not easy to successfully produce the Bloodline Essence at the student level, and this is also a major advantage of Leo in the sub-school, which must be infinitely amplified.
Compared to Leo, Sanders is much less efficient at learning knowledge. He didn't have the memory aids of the professors, nor did he have the nausea potion given by Geralson, and he was only able to learn a quarter as fast as Leo.
But even so, compared to other students. Little Fat Man's learning results are still quite significant.
Within ten days, he had completed the overall improvement of his spell faction specialization, and had reached the level where he could try the next specialization, and now all he had to do was continue to precipitate and build a magic model.
Even Lorsas lamented that if he studied like this for another school year, Sanders's ability would definitely far surpass his own.
Leo designed Sanders' next step in his studies. It is also a reinforcement of the sub-school.
At this point, Saunders comes from the magical family. Since childhood, I have received basic training in all aspects, so the foundation is quite good. And what he chose was the Magic Array School of the Ming Literature School.
Leo couldn't agree more.
The application of magic array is very wide, from the large city-level defensive magic array to the small miniature magic array in the magic puppet structure, which can achieve the functions. It is also varied and all-encompassing. Although it is not easy to master it, it will definitely be very helpful for the competition to be able to master some more knowledge and application methods of the magic array.
............
Early in the morning, Leo left the dormitory with Sanders and Lorsas.
As requested. He's going to Geralsson today for an inspection. Sanders, on the other hand, wanted to take the quiz together to see what level of his abilities he had. As for Lothasas, he was originally a student of Geralson, but he didn't report on it because he didn't have a project research course recently, so it makes sense to go together at this time.
Soon, the trio arrived at the lab. Leo knocked on the door and pushed it open after gaining permission.
Sanders was here for the first time and for the first time meeting Geralson, so he was a little nervous. And when he noticed Geralson's prosthetic eye and robotic arm, he was even more frightened and speechless.
Instead of looking at Sanders, Geralson said to Lorzas, "Why, didn't you say you didn't want to go to the tournament?
Lorsas shook her head and said, "No, teacher, I'm here with my friend." He wants to participate in the tournament and learns that you're going to test Leo, so he comes along. ”
"Whatever you want. Geralson said, then turned his gaze back to Leo, "Are you ready?"
"Ready. I've learned everything you've given me. Leo replied.
"Hmm. Geralson nodded, moving his gaze again, this time his target was Sanders, "Tell me about your situation, be specific, and I can test you accordingly." ”
"Oh, oh, okay!" Sanders was pleasantly surprised.
He had always heard that Geralson was a very scary person, and he was just thinking about taking the same test as Leo, even if there must be a lot of content that he couldn't do, but he could barely see his level. But I didn't expect that the other party was not only not terrible, but also had to tailor a test for himself, which is really an unexpected good thing!
Without thinking, Sanders hurriedly began to introduce himself, from his name, age, to rank and specialization, he introduced it in great detail, for fear that Geralson would miss something and affect his own detection.
In the face of this chattering Sanders, Geralson was surprisingly patient, that is, he did not interrupt, did not show any unhappiness, and listened quietly all the time.
After a while, Sanders finally realized his problem, his face turned red, and he stopped in embarrassment, saying, "Sorry, dear professor. I'm so excited, that's all ......"
Geralson nodded, and suddenly asked, "Who are you Brad Hawley?"
"It's my father's younger brother, my uncle. Sanders replied, only then did he react and said in surprise: "Professor." Do you know my uncle?"
"Yes, Brad and I have been through some things in the early lower realm, and we are good friends. There was a hint of remembrance on Geralson's tough countenance, and he continued, "How is he now?"
"Uncle......" Sanders hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Uncle, he fell out with the family and hasn't come back for a long time, and I don't know how he is now." ”
"I fell out with the family...... Geralson was stunned, and then laughed: "Haha, it's really that guy's personality." I would have liked to have found some time to visit him. Now it seems that it can be saved. ”
He commented without hesitation, not caring at all about Sanders' feelings.
And the little fat man didn't dare to say anything else except a wry smile in return.
After this little episode, Geralson waved his hand and said, "Come on, we're going to get down to business." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, many quills on the laboratory table floated up and began to write on their own.
Both Leo and Lorsas had seen this miraculous scene, and they both behaved relatively normally. Only Sanders. The eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
With this kind of exquisite mental power control, I'm afraid even my father can't do it!
Time. He has more respect for Geralson, and he is more and more looking forward to what kind of test questions the other party will give him.
Due to the abundance of quills, Geralson "wrote" quickly, and after a few moments, a test paper was quickly completed. He took out the test paper that had been prepared for Leo and called them to the two of them.
"You have an hour. If you finish it early, you can also signal me in advance. Geralson said one last word, and then went straight into the rest room inside the lab, where nothing was heard. Obviously, he didn't care at all if the two of them would cheat.
As a matter of fact. Now, even if someone forces Leo and Sanders to cheat, the two of them will never agree. Because even if you pass the test in this way, it will not have any meaning for the current situation, but will only affect the judgment of the next learning goal.
Holding the test paper given by Geralson, Leo suddenly had the feeling of returning to high school in his previous life.
Because this is the second consecutive exam in a few days, and the academy will organize a selection competition in the future, I am afraid that it will also be held in the form of an exam, that is, I have completely fallen into the quagmire of the exam.
Sensing that Sanders had already started, Lauresas found a book and sat down to read, Leo shook his head, putting aside the mess and refocusing on the test papers.
At this glance, he was surprised.
The various exam papers he took before were often multiple-choice, true/false, and fill-in-the-blank questions, but the test papers given by Geralson were completely different, and they were all essay questions.
Question 1: You and your friends are trapped in an iron orrite mine, which is about 100 meters deep and completely enclosed, and cannot be left using teleportation magic.
The moment he saw the question, Leo already understood what Geralson meant, and he really wanted to test his comprehensive ability, not just the mathematical ability in the magic joint examination.
It seems that this is a completely open-ended question, very simple, but Leo knows iron flavour, so he also understands that the question actually contains a lot of pitfalls.
Iron flavonite is not a rare metal, and its application value is not high, but it is accompanied by another kind of blackened copper, which is an extremely precious magical material, and its conductivity to magic is second only to that of Mithril.
In Leo's view, this is the crux of the problem, because blackened copper has a very troublesome property - volatile toxic acid gas, which is extremely corrosive, and ordinary people will be corroded into a pool of blood in a minute.
Under normal circumstances, the blackened copper on the market looks like an ordinary ferrous metal, but it has been specially treated. In nature, once blackened copper is exposed to air, it produces severe changes and volatilizes acidic gases that are difficult to bear.
Therefore, when entering the iron ore ore, the miners must wear heavy leather armor to effectively resist acid gas. Leo didn't doubt at all that if he was in the mine, it was not a small probability that he would encounter some blackened copper exposed.
With a slight groan, he wrote down the first possible thing on the test sheet, and the way to deal with it was to use a level 2 protection magic called "Acid Isolation".
This magic is designed to deal with acidic substances, although the magic level is not high, but the effect is very good, it is more than enough to reduce the blackened copper acid, and more importantly, the duration of this magic is up to half an hour, and there is no need to refill it frequently.
While the first problem is solved, the second arises.
Since there are associated metals, it is not surprising that there are companion organisms. There is a lower creature called the acidophilus that often haunts the vicinity of blackened copper. They will even actively dig out channels so that the blackened copper can be lifted into the air and vaporized.
Hemophilic acid bugs can survive in normal air, but if the acidic gas in the air increases, then their activity will also increase, and their growth rate will also increase significantly, and it only takes a few days for them to grow from a bean-sized bug to a terrifying monster half a meter to a meter long, and extremely bloodthirsty!
"Fortunately, I'm a specialist in the Plastic Energy School, so it's not difficult to deal with insects. Leo smiled inwardly, and the magic target was locked on the electromagnetic field barrier.
This magical realm is extensive, easy to control, and highly precise, making it a great choice for dealing with bloodthirsty insects.
............
A few minutes later, Leo wrote down everything he could think of on the test paper and gave him the best way to deal with it. Next, he had to start thinking about how he could escape.
Gradually, a sense of immersion came over him, and Leo felt as if he was really in an iron ore shaft, fighting difficulties while thinking about how to escape.
I have to admit that Geralson's questions are really pertinent. Leo used almost all of his abilities, and finally managed to find a way.
But soon he discovered a strange place, none of these methods needed to be applied to what he was learning these days.
Suddenly, Leo had an idea, in fact, it was not that there was no need to use it, but that the knowledge had just been learned, and he was not used to applying it.
And the content of a book called "Fluid Metals and Magical Structures" that he just studied two days ago can help him complete the treatment of blackened copper! (To be continued......
