Chapter 20 Elite Trials
After returning to school, Hans reported the situation to Amanda, and told her more about the battle, asking her for guidance.
Amanda fetched Hans a wooden stick and said, "You use this stick to attack me." ”
Hans did so, the stick was quite large, and he swept it over Amanda when he got up. Amanda jumped backwards, and at the same time, the wand was a little in front of her, condensing a stalagmite in front of her, and Hans's wooden rod just hit the stalagmite, and it burst open.
Hans looked at the half of the wooden stick in his hand a little stunned, and Amanda said, "I didn't release a stone arrow, but a defensive magic, because the summoning is fixed, but I changed its shape to make the defensive area smaller, but at the same time it plays an offensive role." Actually, I can only teach you the tricks, and as for whether or not to take risks, of course, you have to think about it yourself. ”
Amanda thought for a moment and said, "Actually, sometimes we have to take risks, but before we do something, we have to think about the consequences and be prepared to accept the bad results. ”
Hans calmed down and decided that he still wanted to continue his training at school for a while, he really didn't want to die on an unknown mission.
For a long time, Hans immersed himself in hard training in school, mastered the four elements of water, fire, earth, and qi to a certain extent, and also learned a new form of magic - enchantment magic.
The so-called enchantment magic is the infusion of magic power into an object or creature in a specific form, so as to change the properties of the object or creature. For example, equip the enchanted Ice Blade and Flame Arrow, or enchant the Great Strength and Sprint Technique to enchant your body. However, due to the limited resistance of the enchanted object or body to magical power, it is not possible to enchant too much, otherwise it will cause damage to the item or even cause damage to the body.
Occasionally, Hans would go hunting in the mountains by himself, hunt some wild beasts and take them back to Modo Village to share with everyone. But in general, he will not accept the invitation of hunters to go hunting together, because he needs to train himself. And more importantly, he didn't want too many people to know the secret of his armguards.
With continuous efforts, Hans is already good in the magic class. Because he also mastered the combat skills of some fighters, he was able to have an advantage in practice battles many times, and even Jody was defeated by him once.
Time flies, and Hans has been at school for almost a year.
One day, Amanda announced a surprising announcement. In the two-year confrontation, the Kingdom of Jaelin finally launched an attack on Fran, and their army launched an assault on the town of Yatley, but the entire ridge in front of the town of Yatley was the camp of Fran, which was not so easy to attack, and the Duke of Kevin, who was good at fighting, finally held the town of Yatley. The soldiers of Jaylin, who had been fighting for a long time, were defeated and fled after the arrival of the Wyvern Knight Wells.
At the same time, King Patton issued a notice to the whole country, asking all localities to send some reinforcements to the town of Yatley, but the Ninghai Kingdom to the southeast of Falan was also mobilizing its troops and was ready to move. Duke Agnus, who was defending the Lyo barrier on the southeastern border, and Duke Maddock, who was stationed at the Shadow Song Fortress, both refused the king's order to transfer troops, which further increased the tension of the battle. Although it is said that the borders on both sides are protected by natural hazards, the situation is not optimistic.
Then, the king also issued a new message, preparing to hold a youth elite selection tournament in a month, which can be participated by anyone over the age of 16 and under 20 who is interested in contributing to the country, and the competition will select an elite team to play directly for the king in the future. Others who can pass the test are free to choose to join the army and resist foreign enemies together.
Zuihou Amanda said: "The fighters are also graduating soon, and some of them are willing to join the army and serve the country. As a magician class, normally we have to fight on the front line, at least two or three years of training, but I can't stop your will, this is also an opportunity. ”
After Amanda finished speaking, it caused a heated discussion among the students, and even the discussion lasted for several days. Hans also plans to participate in this competition, and there is no mandatory saying that those who participate in the competition must join the army. When I wanted to sign up, I realized that I was the first person to sign up.
In the next few days, no one signed up again, and the entire wizard class went to Hans to participate in the competition alone. Unable to prepare for the competition because he didn't know what it was about, Hans had to do regular training and start recuperating two days before the race.
The meeting place of the race was set in the southern part of the city of France, which is also on the coast, and it was said that the participants from all over the country had arrived in advance, and it was not far from the town of Saad, but this time Hans could not borrow a horse, so he had to go on foot, but he met the cadets of the warrior class before setting off and were also preparing to participate in the competition, which also included the actual combat training with his Cliff trio.
Along the way, Hans used his sprinting technique to speed up his speed in order to keep up with the soldiers, but he had to rest for a while after running, because enhanced spells such as sprinting consumed mana continuously and could not last forever. Cliff and the others also deliberately slowed down a little and waited for him.
Along the way, they passed through a large enclosed field, which was said to be the training ground of the king's army, and several of them basically ran around the fence of the training ground. It took about 8 hours to get to Nakato Town, and I had to rest in the town for a day to prepare for the race.
In the evening, Hans and Cliff and the others got together to talk about the recent situation, and the warrior class was actually considered to have graduated, but they still came here to try their luck. The difference between the army and the mercenaries has been discussed all the time, and both Cliff and Archie seem to have great expectations for the army, and it is clear from the tone of their voices that they are both hot-blooded young men. Instead, Bonnie yearns for the mercenary's free-spirited lifestyle.
When it came to Hans, they were a little surprised that Hans was the only one in the magic class. Since they had also fought together as a team, they also agreed that if the way the game could be played as a team, they would still act together.
The next morning, all the contestants gathered in the square, and there were very many of them, and they were all waiting for the arrival of the commander to know the rules of the game. After waiting for a while, with the noise of everyone, I saw a huge flying dragon flying down from the sky and standing in the middle of the square, stirring up dust all over the ground.
After the dust passed, Hans was startled, wasn't this the Wyvern knight he had seen a long time ago?
