Chapter 16: Defensive Magic
Back at the school, Hans immediately went to the warrior class to visit Archie, who had been detoxified with the help of the instructor and was resting in bed, with Cliff and Bonnie also taking care of him. By this time, Cliff's arm injury, which was not serious, was almost healed.
Hans's arrival made them a little stunned, it turned out that Hans had come to share the prize, and thanks to everyone's efforts, he finally won a second place, although several fighters pushed and shoved, but each still accepted a gold coin.
Hans also said goodbye to them and went back to their residence to rest, after two days of fighting, Hans also began to sum up his experience, always keep calm when fighting, look for the enemy's weaknesses, and know how to cooperate with his teammates in order to win smoothly. This battle with the spider is too thrilling, if he is alone, it is estimated that it is a bit difficult, if the pulse gun can't solve it at once, he will be in danger.
The next morning, Amanda gathered the crowd and began to explain the training of the first two days.
Amanda's first sentence asked: "Is there any student who is training alone until the end, please raise your hand." ”
No one in the team raised their hands, and then she asked, "Is there any team that has not formed a team with the members of the warrior class, please raise your hand." ”
I saw six or seven people raise their hands, they were people from two teams, and then Amanda asked, "Do you feel like you're doing well?"
One of them replied, "We have also encountered dangers, and sometimes we feel powerless when fighting wild beasts, especially when there are more wild beasts, and the mana is not enough. ”
Another replied: "The warriors have bows and arrows, and we don't, which I feel is a little unfair." ”
Amanda laughed, "You can use magic, warriors don't, and they say it's not fair." ”
After a pause, Amanda continued, "So who are the people who fight in a team with the warriors?"
Except for Hans and a few people just now, almost all of them raised their hands. Amanda asked, "How do you feel about teaming up with the warriors?"
Jody shouted, "It feels very good, if it weren't for the warriors, I guess we would all have been eaten by wolves." ”
"Yes, if there are warriors in the team holding the enemy in check, it is easier for the mage to use the magic, otherwise he is likely to be attacked before he even finishes the spell casting. Another student said.
Amanda pointed at Hans and asked, "Hans, why didn't you raise your hand?"
Hans said: "I originally went up the mountain alone, but when I met a warrior on the mountain, I acted together. And I've also learned that there can be no magicians in a team, but there can't be no lack of warriors. ”
Amanda smiled and said to everyone, "Your summary is correct, don't always think that you are great in the magic class and look down on the people in the warrior class." But it's not like Hans said, the team can have no magicians, but no warriors, because the battles we participate in are only one-sided battles with wild beasts, which is the hunter's profession. If you are fighting with people, then the warrior and the mage have to rely on each other, and it is not good to have no one. If you have the opportunity to go on a mission in the future, remember to find a few fighters with you. ”
Then it was for everyone to share their combat experience, when Jody talked about meeting the wolf king, how powerful the wolf king was, cutting down trees as thick as thighs with one claw, and being able to jump to the height of two or three people, and then how to cooperate, using magic to limit the wolf king's actions, and then cutting him down under the combined force of the warriors, his eyebrows danced.
When it was Hans's turn, he simply took it, and said that he would find the weak points in the spider's legs and abdomen and attack. Then the others basically lasted all day throughout the whole process of sharing the experience.
Zuihou, Amanda said: "Okay, you all start to understand your strengths and weaknesses, we will continue to consolidate the knowledge we have learned in the next week, and then we will start to learn defensive magic, disband!"
......
After this training, Hans began to increase his requirements for himself, and every night in addition to practicing magic, he also began to do some physical training, because he knew that if he didn't find a haode warrior partner, his physical fitness would become very important. He also began to use telescopic knives and shields to practice some offensive and defensive skills.
A week later, Amanda began teaching defensive magic, this time calling a cadet to attack her.
Jody volunteered to use a fireball spell on Amanda, and when the fireball was about to hit Amanda, she also released a fireball of the same power, and the two fireballs collided and exploded in the middle.
Amanda said, "Attacks can usually be counteracted with the same magic, but this can only be considered a defensive method, not defensive magic." Jody had another one. ”
Jody continued to release a fireball as instructed, only to see that this time Amanda released an orange-red protective shield, only to see the fireballs hit the shield, and they also exploded with each other.
Amanda continued: "What I condensed this time was still a flame, but I used the change spell to form a shield, and at the same time fixed it in one position, waiting for the enemy's magic to come up and annihilate each other. Now Jody continues, and I'll change the way. ”
Of course, Jody continued to release the fireball without hesitation, and Amanda condensed a water shield this time, and the fireball was directly destroyed when it touched the water shield.
Amanda continued: "With the same power of the water shield, I can easily defuse the attack of the fireball, because fire is afraid of water. Okay, here's a high-level one, a few of you come up and attack me with different spells. ”
Then he usually went up with Jody and made a magic salvo at Amanda. As a result, Amanda unleashed a colorless and transparent shield that blocked out all magic of different attributes.
Amanda said: "I used a non-attribute magic shield this time, it has no targeted advantages, and at the same time, it has no weaknesses, as long as the power is strong enough, it can defend against all elemental magic attacks." ”
After showing everyone the various ways of shielding, she began to explain at length.
Protective shields can be divided into shield magic and ring magic, of which ring magic is to form a ball defense circle near the body, which is used for all-round defense, but the requirements for magic power are very high.
The same shield-type shield can be condensed with different elemental magic, or it can be used to create a shield against physical attacks, such as a stone shield and an ice shield, but that requires more power.
Since the timing of the need for defense is usually relatively sudden, the trainees are required to train the shield to a realm that can be instantaneous. The so-called instantaneous is the speed of the sudden burst of magic power, so that the time for magic to condense is minimized, so that as soon as the idea arrives, the magic can be released. Because the condensation time is too short, in order to balance the problem of insufficient condensation magic, people also create a "short spell".
Short spells are also a spell, but unlike regular spells, they usually only require two or three words to increase mana slightly.
The students were surprised to learn that the short spell was also effective against offensive magic. When they instantly fire shields, they only need to shout "fire shield", and to send out a fireball technique, they also need to shout a "fireball technique", but Amanda specifically reminds that using a short spell on attack magic is equivalent to reminding the enemy that an attack is coming, and also telling others what attack is coming. Therefore, they have not been taught the application of short spells when they have been learning attack magic before.
As they learned, Amanda demonstrated some more advanced protective magic. For example, the Diamond Mirror can reflect the enemy's mana, and the Energy Absorption technique can use the enemy's magic liliang for its own use, but those so-called high-level magic can usually only receive the haode effect when the opponent is far superior to the opponent.
There was so much learning on this day that many students could only understand, but it was not easy to apply. And in the next practice, the magic learned in the past should also be used frequently, and you can't neglect the offensive magic in order to practice defensive magic.
From this day on, every day of training, they have already had two pairs of training courses, that is, two students as a group, one to put attack magic, the other to put defense magic, from the beginning of the standing performance, slowly evolved into sports, more and more close to the actual combat. A person like Jody, who is conceited and powerful, often fights against others in a one-enemy posture.
As for Hans, his understanding of magic is fine, but he is always a big problem with lack of mana, and in the training carried out at the same time, due to the fact that the two pairs often require you to go back and forth to cast magic continuously, Hans is often the first to need to rest and recover. For this question, he decided to ask Amanda for advice.
Amanda said to him, "Do you know when Jodi started practicing magic? His parents are both magicians, and they have been influenced by magical knowledge since he was a child, according to Jodi's qualifications, it should be no problem to go to the magic academy to study, but now it is not easy to enter the magic academy, so he came here to study." Moreover, there are several people like him. You're someone who only started to have mana fluctuations a few months ago, how can you compare to them?"
Hans said, "Instructor, is there a way for me to exercise my magic in particular? I can't be an ordinary mercenary, I want to be stronger!"
Amanda took a deep breath and said, "I can understand your thoughts, but everyone wants to become stronger, but there is no shortcut, and the strength of magic and mana is obtained by constantly using magic, constantly meditating, and repeating this process." ”
After a pause, Amanda continued: "In fact, there are many ways to become stronger, increasing the strength of magic is only one of them, and this happens to be your weakness, if you want to become stronger, you should play to your strengths, this is called learning from each other's strengths." ”
Amanda said that Hans was a little confused, and as he went back to his lodgings, he thought to himself, what are his strengths? I came from another era, and I am different from the basic shijie concept that people here have mastered, can this be considered a strength?
Weishenme himself can't be the protagonist of a time-traveling drama, there is a jack-of-all-trades secretary, with unlimited opportunities, with the ability to cheat, the only thing that can be regarded as cheating equipment is his pair of arms guards with a lot of energy consumption, Hans kept staring at his arms guards, muttering to himself: "This is my strength!"
