Chapter 207 Target
The teaching building of the School of Magic is significantly different from other disciplines.
Su Wen attended the junior magic academy in Tridys. Since the junior magic academy was more about teaching basic theoretical knowledge, dozens of people gathered together in the classroom. However, after coming to St. Peter's Advanced Magic Academic, their first class was on the group of mage towers. The Magic Academic, together with two column-shaped Gemini towers with five floors, each floor was a class. As Class C, Su Wen was on the third floor of the No. 1 tower, the terrain here was beyond his imagination, and it was about as big as a dozen of the original junior magic academys.
Each high tower is a teaching hall, with 60 seats in a row around the tower, and a huge open area in the middle, with a large number of magical equipment and teaching tools, and even a small training ground in the center. Such a luxurious configuration is like clouds compared to the junior magic academy. Many people, including Su Wen, have witnessed this legendary academy classroom for the first time, and they can't help but feel a powerful visual impact.
At this time, before the classroom began, many people were watching the magical equipment in the open space in the central area as if they were joining in the fun - scroll making table, elemental stabilization instrument, small magic pool, potion grinding and crafting utensils, and two primary magic dolls... The supporting facilities here are beyond everyone's imagination. When they think that this will become a classroom in the next year, almost everyone seems particularly excited.
"Okay, it seems that everyone has arrived. Please find a seat to sit."
When the last student from Class C came in, Teacher Hua Jue, who had been outside the gate of the third floor of the tower, also walked in. She clapped her hands and signaled the students present to restore order.
Su Wen can see that for a beautiful teacher with a good appearance, the group of kids are still very enthusiastic about responding. The spacious classroom suddenly became quiet and people returned to their seats to sit down. Most of the young people who wandered on the field were young people of fourteen or fifteen years old. They were still some time before they became adults. They were proud, excited and lively.
"There are 51 people in Class C, and now there are exactly 51 people present, so I won't name it. I hope this good habit can be maintained. The college is very strict about violations such as absenteeism and absenteeism."
After Hua Jue finished speaking, he aroused a warm response from the class, and the huge response even echoed in the classroom.
"Then, everyone's first class is about to begin."
It was quiet, and it seemed that everyone was extremely enthusiastic at least on the first day of school. Su Wen was no exception. He sat upright in front of the gate at 7 o'clock, listening to what was going on.
"I believe that everyone has learned the nature and basic knowledge of magic in the elementary magic academy, so I will not repeat it here. In the first class, what I need to discuss with you is a problem that almost all magicians may encounter, that is, how should we deal with it when we are close to each other in actual combat?"
Hua Jue paused and continued: "These problems are what any spellcaster must face when entering actual combat, because in actual combat, your opponent will not always be other magicians, but may be ferocious monsters, knights with fighting spirit, extremely strong warriors or agile assassin. The spellcaster of elemental magic is always the absolute main force in actual combat, so it will naturally become the absolute primary target of attack. Most of you may encounter various dangers in the future. Knowing how to deal with them is responsible for your own lives."
"Now, I will send you the test paper and pen to you. Please think carefully and give an answer."
After saying that, Hua Jue took out a stack of white paper.
Su Wenben thought she would release spells and distribute these papers to everyone's desks in a blank space, but she didn't. She just walked to two of the desks and asked them to pass them to the left and right respectively. About two minutes later, Su Wen got the paper.
Do you do the test paper in the first class?
And it is such a simple and complex question, and there is no complete standard answer at all. If so, the impression that the magician is a weak melee profession will not be deeply rooted.
Su Wen quickly wrote down his answer.
Ten minutes later, Hua Jue collected the paper and read it quickly.
"Oh, most of the students' answers are very comprehensive. Turn on the strongest elemental shield, then use the thrust of the wind element to open the distance and evacuate to safety. I briefly looked through it and everyone's answers are basically the same. It seems that this kind of question was mentioned in the original Junior Magic Academy, but just this can only be said to be successful."
Hua Jue said with a smile, but the content of the words made no one in the class laugh: "For example, the assassin's demon-breaking dagger or short-range musket, these things have the ability to break the elemental shield. Once the elemental shield's defense is not enough to support the caster to proceed to the next spell to open the distance, in this case, are you going to have to wait to die?"
No one answered.
The fact that thousands of magicians died under melee attacks over thousands of years shows that this is true.
"After all, in this case, if you are not careful, it will become a lifelong regret. Before reaching a sufficient height, any caster's weakness is within three positions. The best defense is to never let the enemy approach, and once you are approached, no remedy can ensure safety. Everyone's answer cannot be considered wrong, because no one can give the so-called correct answer."
"The only way to get close to you is to be as good as possible, and don't use your own weaknesses to fight the enemy's strengths. Everyone's thinking is very correct, but how to ensure that you can evacuate safely is not as simple as an elemental shield. Moreover, when necessary, relying on your own dodge, the effect may be more effective than the driving force of wind magic, which is related to the body skills and martial arts."
"The purpose of my words is that even if you are elemental mages, don't be disdainful of martial arts courses. When necessary, sensitive reactions and excellent physical fitness are the key to the caster's ability to survive. This afternoon, you will be conducting the first systematic martial arts course in your life. At that time, everyone must do their best."
"The following is the official start of today's course. We will review the standard first and second-ring spells learned in the Junior Magic Academy..."
Su Wen was quite moved by what Hua Jue said, but after the formal course started, there was nothing to say. In fact, this was the norm when he was at Trides Magic Academy. As an existence that could not communicate with elements, participating in this regular magic course had no intention of talking to chickens and ducks, and it seemed that this situation had not been changed until now.
Two hours later, the first class ended.
Although Su Wen, in this course reviewing low-ring magic, was different from the original "descendant world". He personally released various low-ring magic according to Hua Jue's requirements, but it was only limited to the crystals stored in his wrist. Moreover, he did not think this was a breakthrough worth celebrating. After all, it was not himself who released the magic, but that crystal.
When most people reluctantly left the classroom and finished the morning class, Hua Jue kept Su Wen.
"I can't tell at all. The magic you cast is the masterpiece of Master Ptolemy." Hua Jue grabbed Su Wen's palm, looked at it, and said, "I was completely deceived during the entrance examination."
Su Wen nodded with a wry smile.
"Well, I'm wondering, Teacher Hua Jue, will I have no value for similar courses in the future?"
"That won't be, but you're indeed taking another path."
Hua Jue took out a brand new book from the drawer of the podium: "As your tutor, I have been specially asked, of course I know your situation. This elemental linguistics is given to you, and Calito thinks it is very helpful to you, because the several virtual magic you have released now are actually compiled based on this book."
The beautiful mentor's answer surprised Su Wen a little.
"What did Senior Brother Kalito say?"
"That's right, the great magician is always paying attention to you." Hua Jue smiled slightly, "You still need to participate in the next course. Even if you can't feel the elements, it doesn't matter, because while other students are trying to communicate with the elements, what you have to think about is how to arrange and drive the elements in another way. The two do not conflict, and I will give you the maximum freedom. Your goal this year is very simple, that is, to use the masterpiece of the great magician to release at least 50 initial spells that appear in textbooks."
"I see."
