Chapter 14 Actual Combat Training
Unconsciously, almost a month of changing magic has been learned, and some of the students have been able to skillfully use some simple change magic.
On this day, Amanda announced the exciting news that they were going to participate in a combat training session, and they were given a new piece of equipment to each of them - a small round shield for mages.
Amanda took the shield and said, "Since the wand is held in one hand, we have the opportunity to hold a shield in the other hand for defense." Of course, I won't let you take a large shield, because usually we don't have a liliang trained by warriors, and now we use a wooden shield for mages, which is said to be a wooden shield, but it is also covered with iron sheets, and there is a dagger hidden in the shield, which may save your life if necessary. ”
"I'll also give each person a set of leather armor, as well as a bag with some tools that you might need in the field. You can go back now, change your clothes, get your gear ready, and we'll be training in the field for three days and two nights, and if you have any other equipment of your own, you can bring it with you. ”
In the midst of a lively discussion, the students slowly walked back to change their equipment, and Hans checked the kit, and found that there were not many things in it, including a knife, a rope, some fire-making utensils, and a kettle, which seemed to be to kill wild beasts and roast them, and then slept in the wilderness.
After waiting for a long time, everyone finally sorted out their things, only to see Amanda say: "This training, we will be carried out with the warrior class, and the destination is Mount Adri, southeast of the country." This hill has always been the training base of our mercenary school, and we will stock some wild beasts in it, including wild wolves, poisonous snakes, and some less powerful magical beasts. ”
After Amanda finished speaking, a commotion broke out below, and it seems that this training is really a bit risky.
Amanda said again: "We will set off in a moment, and we will have a meal at the beginning of Mount Adrieri at noon, and we will start going up the mountain in the afternoon." Then you need to spend two nights in the mountains and come back at noon on the third day. Our purpose is not just a test of survival, but a contest in which everyone can hunt at will, and then collect the ears of the beasts as evidence to see who kills the most beasts and who kills the strongest beasts. ”
After another discussion, Amanda continued: "Due to the risks of this training, if you encounter danger on the mountain, or something that cannot be solved, please shout for help, we have also arranged some instructors on the mountain to prepare for rescue, of course, it is difficult for you to find them in normal times." ”
After speaking, it is the time to set off, Adrishant is not too far from Saad Town, only 2 hours to arrive, some people on the way are still looking for team members, and a few people want to act together, but no one is looking for Hans, it is estimated that he is usually relatively low-key, and his results are not very good, and Hans does not plan to be with others, anyway, it is just a challenge to himself, it doesn't matter if he wins or loses.
At the meeting point, they met the people of the warrior class, and they were surprised to find that almost every student of the warrior class was equipped with a bow and arrow, and they looked like hunters. But also, it would be unfair if the mage could use magic and the warrior could only fight in close combat, after all, many beasts might run away when they encounter humans.
After eating, Instructor Botu announced the start of the training, but reiterated: "We will compete in hunting, but we can't steal other people's spoils, let alone hurt other students, if we find out, we will be severely punished." Hunting is based on collecting ears, I will check the results when I come back, and score according to the level and number of different beasts, the first place can get a reward of 10 gold coins, the second place will be rewarded with 5 gold coins, and the third place will be rewarded with 3 gold coins. ”
Porto's announcement drew a round of cheers, and 10 gold coins was a year's worth of tuition, an attractive prize.
Everyone should form a team, and those who should act alone also set off on their own, and Hans is one of those who acts alone. There were no roads on the mountain, so everyone went to find a place with few people, and gradually they all scattered.
In the woods, animal sounds can be found from time to time, but it is not easy to find them, Hans has a wand, but the shield is placed in the backpack.
As he walked, he noticed a hare in front of him, and it was nice to catch one for dinner. The hare hadn't spotted him yet, and Hans hadn't attacked at once, thinking that the hare was very good at running, and if it was discovered, it would be difficult to catch it.
After thinking about it, he was still ready to use the best fireball technique, and with one spell, the fireball flew towards the rabbit. Seeing that it was about to hit, who knew that the rabbit jumped, dodged, and then ran away with all his might.
Hans was a little annoyed, maybe his fireball wasn't flying fast enough for the rabbit to run. Seeing that the rabbit was about to run away, Hans immediately used a not-so-skilled earthen wall magic, and just as the rabbit just collided and was a little dizzy, Hans quickly ran over and grabbed it, and finally got the first trophy.
Hans was carrying the rabbit, and suddenly felt a little unbearable to kill it, and hesitated for a moment, "Alas, rabbit, rabbit, it's not that I'm cruel, but this shijie is the jungle, and compassion will kill itself." Then he cut the rabbit's throat with a knife, bleed it, and put it in his backpack.
After the rabbit hunt just now, Hans summed it up, it's not good to go on like this, it takes two magic to catch a rabbit, if you catch a few more, isn't the mana used up?
Then he decided to make a bow and arrow, even if he wasn't very good at it. He found some strong branches to make a bow, and made strings out of vines, and sharpened a few straighter branches to make arrows, and a toy bow and arrow, but it seemed that after a while, it was getting dark.
Hans found an open place, slaughtered and roasted the rabbit and ate it, and thought as he could, as if he had to consider not only the question of food but also the question of drinking water, and it seemed that he would have to find a water source to-morrow.
It was not suitable to walk around in the evening, so Hans lit four fires one after the other and sat down in the middle to rest. Now he regretted a little that he didn't find someone to go with, even sleeping was a problem, and if someone was with him, he could at least take turns guarding it.
Hans entered a meditative state, while taking a moment to feel the movement around him. Not long after, he suddenly heard footsteps, and Hans immediately woke up, climbed up to a nearby tree with his hands and feet, and observed the movement below.
I saw two men and a woman walking near the fire, and they were from the warrior squad. One of the male warriors shouted, "Which friends are here, please? I'm Cliff from the warrior class, and my companions Archie and Bonnie." ”
Hans replied from the tree, "Hello everyone, I'm Hans from the Wizard's Class. Then he climbed down again.
Cliff was a little surprised: "You're alone?"
Hans replied, "Yes, otherwise it would not have been so troublesome as making four fires." ”
Bonnie said, "Magicians are so powerful, we don't dare to explore alone." ”
Cliff and Archie were both holding swords and shields, with bows hanging from their backs, while the warrior Bonnie was holding a bow in her hand and a short sword at her waist.
Then, the four of them sat together and talked about today's harvest, and the three of them did not encounter any powerful beasts.
As he spoke, Bonnie noticed Hans's bow and arrows, and said, "You made this bow yourself, don't you all know magic?"
Hans was a little embarrassed and said, "Yes, I came here to find that it is always good to have a bow, so as to ensure that the mana is always in sufficient state for emergencies." He didn't dare to say that his mana was lower than that of ordinary people.
After discussing it for a while, they decided to take turns guarding it, and the others could sleep, and several warriors took the initiative to ask for the guard first. Hans also rested unceremoniously.
