Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 101 The Curse of Stoppage
"Got it!" everyone replied in unison.
"Very well, then you have thirty minutes to recite the incantation, which is written in chapter 7 of the textbook. Professor Rochelle sat down on the stool as he spoke, "It's as simple as going around the edge of the area where you want to place the enchantment, while releasing a small amount of mana, and pulling it up at the end, just like I just did." ”
Everyone hurriedly turned the book to chapter seven and began to recite it quietly.
Although it was not difficult for Eren to memorize the spell, knowing that he was not qualified to use the magic, he went to study the second chapter alone.
Riel seemed to have a hard time memorizing, either misremembering the key words or missing an entire sentence, so he still couldn't memorize it completely until thirty minutes later.
"Tsk, why is this spell so long and so hard to remember!" Riel whispered, "It's as good as a burst spell or a levitation spell." ”
"It's impossible. Alan smiled and said, "Since the difficulty of each spell and the era of invention are different, you will feel that some spells are concise and clear, while others are obscure. Actually, a lot of magic has a long history, and when it was first invented, the spells were very long, but over time, some spells were simplified and became more and more convenient to use, such as the levitation spell you just mentioned, while others remained the same, such as the barrier enchantment you had yesterday. ”
"Then why didn't the inventors of these spells keep the spells simpler?" Riel pouted, "Isn't that easier to remember?"
"I don't know that...... I have to ask the inventors of these magics. Alan shrugged and smiled, "Every invention of magic is the result of the interplay of talent, inspiration, and all sorts of serendipity, and who knows what was in their minds when they invented it." ”
As they spoke, Professor Rochelle tapped on the table to signal that it was time to stop.
"Next, I will guide you one by one, and everyone who can use this magic will have such an opportunity except for those who take this course. Professor Rochelle said solemnly, "Since the magic you have learned in this course has a relatively high risk factor, and the consequences of making mistakes are basically irreversible, so in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I need to find out the problems that each of you may have in the process of casting spells, understand your bad habits in the process of casting spells, and help you solve them one by one." ”
"Wow...... Isn't it, and when is this class going to be?" Riel whispered.
There were also voices of doubt about this issue in the classroom.
However, Professor Rochel had clearly heard it, so he explained: "But you don't have to worry about time, this class will continue in the next class." There isn't a lot of magic to learn in this class, and with a little diligence, three years is more than enough, so it's a good idea to be able to help you master it yourself. ”
It was only when he said this that the classroom returned to calm.
"Not many students have been assigned here this year, and there are only forty-seven people who have taken this course. Next, I will give one-on-one guidance in the order of the list, and invite the students whose names are read to come to the podium. If you are an elective student, you just need to raise your hand and signal to me. ”
"Zach Bilber!" was the first to be read to Bilber Jr., who lived in room two on the second floor.
I saw him walk quickly to the podium, the expression on his face was quite confident, and after receiving Professor Rochelle's signal, he quickly began to cast spells.
The whole process went smoothly, and in a few moments, a magic net similar to Professor Rochelle was pulled up, covering him and Professor Rochel, except that his enchantment shell looked a little heavier.
"Very nice. After the spell was lifted, Professor Rochel nodded, looking quite satisfied, "I can use it smoothly the first time, and the spell and action instructions are accurate, the only drawback is that during the chanting of the spell, the magic used to build the enchantment shell is released a little too much, which is a bit wasteful." But overall, it's not a big problem. ”
"Phew, look at his virtue!" little Bilber looked triumphant as he stepped off the podium, and Riel looked at him with disgust, "What's so proud, anyone can use such simple magic!"
However, he was still a little nervous when he said this, because he didn't know whether he could use it smoothly.
Alan shrugged, noncommittal.
Little Bilber only took a few minutes, and the speed of the others was not slow, although it was a little difficult to achieve perfection the first time, but after all, the people who could come here were basically elites, and most of them were due to the mismatch between the chanting speed of some spells and the action commands, or the amount of magic released, which was quickly and smoothly used after Professor Rochelle's guidance.
Riel looked increasingly nervous, and instead of looking closely at what was happening on the podium, he continued to recite the incantation in silence until the end of the lesson, when Professor Rochelle finally read his name.
"Rare Connor!"
"Thank goodness......! This damn spell. Rare breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come on!" Alan cheered him up. He'd been paying attention to what Riel had whispered, and there was really nothing wrong with it.
"Hmm. Riel simply replied and walked briskly onto the podium.
"All beings are travelers...... "Rare pulled out his wand as soon as he took the stage to start casting spells.
But Professor Rochelle quickly stopped him: "Stop, stop!"
Riel looked at him with a confused expression.
"Kid, that's not the right order. Professor Rochelle stared at him and said, "Didn't you just look closely, you have to start the mana output first, and then start chanting the incantation after about a second." ”
There was a soft sneer in the classroom.
"Oh...... Oh......" Riel blushed a little and paused a bit before starting again.
But this time, he just started to perform mana output, and before he could start chanting the incantation, he was stopped by Professor Rochelle: "Stop!"
Riel was startled and looked at Professor Rochelle.
I saw that the professor's face was quite ugly: "Didn't you hear what I said clearly?"
"Huh?" Riel looked confused.
"A small amount, a small amount!" Professor Rochelle reprimanded, "Feel the amount of your magic released! Are you going to build a castle with your magic power? Why do you release so much!"
Everyone in the classroom was smiling, and little Bilber was particularly exaggerated.
"The magic here is only to distinguish this particular time zone from other people's time zones, and this enchantment shell is soft and allows people to come and go freely, so there is no need to let it out so much. You're a serious waste!" Professor Rochelle said with a serious expression, "Again!"
"Uh......" Riel looked a little flustered by such a reprimand, and responded repeatedly: "Okay, good ......"
Alan guessed that it was because of his boiling constitution, and quickly gestured at him to stop using his wand.
Riel saw it too, and it dawned on him, so he quickly followed Allen's prompt and put away his wand and replaced it with his finger.
This time it seemed to be going well, and Professor Rochel didn't stop him anymore, and he slowly began to chant the incantation at this pace.
However, he may have been overly nervous, his brain was in a mess, and he was worried about Professor Rochelle shouting to stop again, and on the other hand, he was thinking about the embarrassing behavior just now, so he didn't realize what he was thinking: "All beings are travelers, drifting together on this never-ending river, but no one can always be with me." I am blessed by the god of time to have my own time. Maybe it's a lifetime, maybe it's a year, maybe it's a day, but in the eyes of others, it's just a moment. This moment is forever. ”
At first, Professor Rochelle saw that his spell casting this time was quite smooth, and remembered that his tone just now might have been too harsh, so he breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and was about to praise him a little, but when he heard the last few words, he suddenly realized that the situation was wrong, his face changed greatly, and he immediately wanted to open his mouth to stop, but it was too late, and Riel had already made the final finishing instructions.
Unlike other people's enchantments, which are slowly generated, I saw that as soon as he made the final finishing command, a rather dark enchantment was instantly generated, making the already not very well-lit classroom instantly darker, and this enchantment did not cover him and Professor Rochel inside, but opened outward with the center of the podium, covering everyone except him and Professor Rochel.
Everyone could tell that his incantation seemed to be mispronounced, and there was one more sentence. But just as everyone turned their heads and asked each other what was going on, they all seemed to be petrified, and their movements were frozen in mid-air.
Not only Riel but also Professor Rochelle was dumbfounded, staring blankly at everything in front of him, and after a long time he muttered, "This is ......"
"Professor...... What happened?" began a cold sweat on Riel's forehead. He noticed that after his spell was finished, the classroom suddenly became deathly silent, and everyone suddenly stopped moving, their expressions froze on their faces, and their mouths were open as they spoke, like statues.
"I don't know what it is......" Professor Rochelle also looked shocked.
"What?" said Ariel, confused.
"Rare Connor, if I'm not mistaken, this one you used could be a whole new kind of magic...... I've never seen ......" It was a long time before Professor Rochelle stared at Riel and said, "Yes, I've never seen ......"
Riel was a little inexplicably excited, swallowing his saliva, his heart pounding.
After a few more careful observations, Professor Rochelle slowly said, "However, judging from the spell you recited incorrectly and the effect of this magic, let's call it ......'Stop Time Charm'......."
