Chapter 13
Chapter 13 – Qualifications TestHumans can use magic, but there are certain conditions.
Humans can get magic through meditation and then use that magic power to cast magic.
The thing that most interested Lin Xiao after being transported to Eileen was magic. The concept of magic in this world was extremely simple, it was just like the blue MP bar in online games. The only difficulty was the release and control of magic.
The reason why Loran Academy can get the t.i.tle of “The Cradle of Heroes” and “The Light of Humanity’s Hope” is because they pay special attention to actual combat. Take the magic program as an example. The magic level is not the only criterion for judging strength and weakness. The release of magic and the control of the spell are the most important criterions!
The minimum age for practicing magic is 16 years old, but some people with a high degree of natural affinity can also start to practice magic early and start meditating around 14 years old. They have innate magical talents that are different from ordinary people and the speed of meditation that increases their magic power is also faster. The freshmen of Loran Academy’s magic department are all such “geniuses”.
There are advantages and disadvantages in recruiting geniuses —— most of the freshmen in the Department of Magic at Loran Academy don’t know a thing about magic when entering.
Take Lin Xiao’s group of new students. They have only been in school for around half a year and they spend most of their time studying basic theoretical knowledge and practicing meditation. Although they’re innately talented and their magic progresses rapidly, but they are still a group of children and seriously lacking in actual combat experience. They couldn’t be considered as true magicians.
Perhaps with their superior talent, they can become strong in the future, but at this moment, they’re just a bunch of magic rookies. An experienced soldier can easily defeat them.
Therefore, partic.i.p.ating in “real combat drills” is crucial
for these freshmen!
“Cough…” On the field, teacher Woos shouted with a worn voice. “Students, I know that you are all magical geniuses, but there are still many things you have to learn. The road is still very long! To be a strong person, you can’t just rely on meditation, but you have to also rely on practical combat ability!”
The freshmen of the magic department gathered in the playground and received teacher Woos’s lecture.
“Magic power is just the basic condition for releasing magic. In addition, there are many high-end techniques for releasing magic, such as chantless instantaneous cast magic, double casting, etc… These are all skills that a powerful magician should master!”
“Only by practicing, can you use your magic to fight and grow into true magicians! The actual combat exercises will begin in a couple of days, everyone, work hard for it!”
“Yeahh!!!!” Teacher Woos’s words ignited the enthusiasm of the students.
Undoubtedly, all the students of the Magic Department were looking forward to partic.i.p.ating in the actual combat exercise. Having studied theoretical knowledge in a cla.s.sroom for more than half a year, they have already been bored to death. The magic power acc.u.mulated through meditation has finally come to use!
“However, not everyone can partic.i.p.ate in the combat drill!” The words of teacher Woos poured cold water on everyone. “For you freshman, a real battle is too dangerous, so only some of the excellent students get the opportunity to partic.i.p.ate in the combat drill!”
Upon hearing this, the students whispered.
“Some excellent students? What does that mean?”
“Stupid, it’s the ranking of strength, only the top students can partic.i.p.ate!”
“Then I’m done, my last magic test result was very poor, if it’s based on that ranking…”
“Cough, everyone be quiet!” Woos added, “Today, I am here to organize a qualification test.”
What is the “Qualification Selection Test”? Seeing the wooden dolls placed behind Woos, everyone immediately understood.
The test rules are very simple. Students need to stand 10 meters away from the puppet and attack the puppet with
with the magic that they are best at. If they hit it successfully, they’re qualified to partic.i.p.ate in the actual drill. If they don’t hit, they will lose their qualification.
“Ah… I’m so sleepy.” Lin Xiao, who stood outside the crowd, yawned.
The expected test.
A distance of ten meters, if you want to successfully hit the puppets with magic, it can be said to be both easy and hard. A high level magic power can only ensure that the magic released has great power, but there is no guarantee that the magic can accurately hit the target. Some people with particularly weak magic control will even accidentally detonate the magic and injure themselves.
Magic or something, if you can’t hit someone, it is meaningless —— Transmigrator, Lin Xiao.
This kind of quiz is too simple for Lin Xiao, who acc.u.mulates magic power through sleep. What? You said that it’s easy to miss with a fireball? Okay, then isn’t it better to change to a large AOE magic?
Fire Magic —— Burst Flame, this is the intermediate magic that can only be used by level four magicians. Lin Xiao is just able to use it. The hot flame can instantly burn all the puppets on the field to black charcoal.
But then again, Lin Xiao definitely wouldn’t do something so arrogant, his goal is to remain low-key and wait for death. That’s why he’ll use fireball to pa.s.s the test safely and steadily.
What really worried him is the duel with Caesar.
Taking into account the upcoming actual combat drill, Caesar decided to postpone the date until after that, which was a blessing in misfortune. With this buffer time, Lin Xiao can find another way to let Caesar voluntarily give up the duel. However, would it be that easy to come up with an idea?
No, even if it’s hard you have to think of one!
If you can’t stop this duel, Lin Xiao’s life will be finished!
……
……
At the center of the crowd, Woos was organizing students to conduct tests,
conduct tests, and outside the crowd, a master and servant whispered to each other.
“Human, what is this…”
“What did you call me?”
“…” interrupted by the other party, the red-eyed silver-haired maid paused and then said, “Lin Xiao…”
“No, no, no. How did I teach you yesterday?”
“d.a.m.n…” The maid blushed and said reluctantly, “Mas…, master.”
“Un, that’s better!”
Elena had an urge to choke this guy to death. She couldn’t understand what Lin Xiao was thinking.
Was Lin Xiao coveting her beauty? Or is he simply trying to humiliate her? Neither of those. As long as Elena called him “master”, he will be very satisfied. No matter how much she insults him, he won’t get angry, but he will be very happy. As soon as Elena changes how she calls him, he’ll get very angry and force Elena to change how she calls him.
Was bullying maids his fetish? Does he get excited when he’s called “master”? Elena cursed silently.
Lin Xiao is really a big pervert! Human males are all sc.u.m that think with the lower half of their body! She cursed in her heart!
Although she felt better after cursing, no matter how angry she is, she can only obediently call him “Master”. The demon king was living under his roof, so she couldn’t help but lower her head. She definitely didn’t want Lin Xiao to do anything strange to her again.
After a fierce mental struggle, Elena decided to accept a compromise. I’ll first pander to this lowly human on the outside to preserve my purity and properly live.
Patience! I have to be patient! However, one day sooner or later, hehe…
“So, what did you want to ask me? My beautiful maid.” Lin Xiao said with a smile.
“…” Elena was very uncomfortable, but she had to say it. “What are you guys planning to do?”
She pointed to the excited students on the playground.
Early in the morning, Lin Xiao actually didn’t sleep in and got up early. He pulled her to school as if there was something very important.something very important. But after coming to the playground, Elena was completely confused.
Are these humans playing a game?
“Oh, this is called the qualification test.” Lin Xiao patiently told her the rules.
“Humans are strange. If it is to compete for a certain qualification, is it not better to determine the strong through a fight?” Elena said disdainfully, “A fake test wastes time.”
“Well, although everyone is indeed competing, humans don’t like close quarter combat.” Lin Xiao explained like a teacher, “Sugarcoating this cruel life, Elena, this is the wisdom of humanity.”
“Oh?” Elena raised an eyebrow and sneered. “Why are you taking such a stupid test? As far as I know, your strength is stronger than all of them. Attacking that puppet should be simple for you, right?”
“Sigh, I’m actually too lazy to partic.i.p.ate.” Lin Xiao didnt deny her, “I have to do this in order to be a reserve hero.”
By pa.s.sing the test and then partic.i.p.ating in the “Actual Combat Drill”, this was a crucial step in becoming a reserve hero.
“Reserve hero?” Elena was stunned.
Although she does not hate humans, but she also understands that there is a hundred years of incomprehensible hatred between humans and demons. There’s not a single human that doesn’t wish of becoming a hero and dream of pulling out the holy sword and cutting off the head of the demon king. However, Lin Xiao, this guy actually has no hatred against the Demons, no hatred against her. When they fist met he also said that he didn’t want to be a hero, so he would not kill her and wanted to send her back home…
Elena was confused.
Lin Xiao, this guy is really strange, is he really a human? Was he turned from a demon?
“Wait… Elena!?” Suddenly, Lin Xiao’s voice came from right beside her ear.
His expression was stiff and he stared at Elena’s b.l.o.o.d.y eyes.
“What, what do you want?”
“Did you just say…”
Carefully recalling what Elena just said, Lin Xiao seems to have discovered a big secret.
