Looking at the Yunsheng Tree fruits piled up like a small mountain in front of him, Gu Shi couldn't help but sigh, "I don't have to worry about being short of money anymore. I guess one of these fruits can sell for a huge price."
However, Gu Shi did not plan to do so immediately. After all, he had just received 100,000 gold coins as a reward for the academy assessment. He was not short of money for the time being. It would be a bit of a loss to exchange good things like the fruit of the Yunsheng Tree for gold coins. It would be better to wait for a chance to exchange them for other rare items of the same level.
Gu Shi carefully put these fruits into the space ring and kept them away. No other storage measures were needed. After all, these fruits would not rot for thousands of years.
The following days passed one by one, and Gu Shi soon had his first practical class.
The first practical class for the third grade was scheduled for the second week after school started. Gu Shi was very much looking forward to this class. He arrived at the corresponding venue in advance, and there were already several students there.
As time passed, the class time was getting closer and more and more students came. The third-grade students were talking about it when they saw a strange student here.
"I've never seen that person over there before."
"I don't know him either. He doesn't seem to be a student in our class, right?"
"He looks like a junior, but what is he doing here where we have classes?"
…
Gu Shi felt helpless when he heard these discussions. He was one or two years older than the students standing here, but because he was an Oriental and had a baby face, he looked very much like a junior in the eyes of these people.
Ilsa Raman, who was standing nearby, had obviously heard the discussions, so before the class officially started, she first introduced Gu Shi's identity to the students.
"An Jing, this is your sophomore classmate, Gu Shi. Starting today, he will take practical classes with you."
"Now we are starting classes. In the past two years, everyone's practical classes have mainly focused on fighting against Warcraft, and there has been relatively little practice in human battles.
But in your future life, your opponents will not be limited to Warcraft. How to win in battles with others is also an important knowledge.
This year, our courses will focus on this aspect. Not only will you be able to spar with your classmates, but students from the Warrior Academy next door will also be joining in. I hope everyone can cheer up and not bring shame upon the mages."
Ilsa changed the subject and called out the names of two students, "Miles, Gene, come on, go to the ring and have a fight for everyone to see. Remember, this is a friendly fight, so don't get carried away."
Two boys, one tall and one short, quickly walked out from the crowd behind and quickly stood on both sides of the ring.
Gu Shi didn’t know these two people, but since they were named by Ilsa to demonstrate, their abilities should be quite good.
From the staffs in their hands, Gu Shi could tell that one of them majored in water and the other in fire. He just didn't know if there was any hidden secret in the design of their staffs.
As a tool for guiding spellcasting, the staff can only guide elements with the same properties as the magic crystal. If you insist on guiding other elements, not only will the spell fail, but it may even explode.
Therefore, one can usually tell what elements a wizard specializes in by looking at the staff he holds. However, because of this, alchemists have developed some very ingenious staff designs.
For example, multiple magic crystals could be installed in a wand, with only one of them exposed outside. This would blur other people's judgment of the wizard's attributes. Gu Shi had seen such a unique design when he bought a magic wand.
Both of them were in position, and at Ilsa's command, the battle between them began.
The two people on the stage raised their staffs at the same time and first cast an elemental shield on themselves.
The first to attack was the fire mage. He raised his hand and released a huge fireball, which sent his opponent flying. The battle was not favorable to him in terms of attributes, so he wanted to seize the initiative.
Because high-level magic requires longer preparation time, in such a single-player arena, mages tend to use more low-level, quick-cast spells. If they insist on pursuing powerful magic, they may turn themselves into targets of their opponents.
The water mage's reaction was not slow either. A wall of water appeared to block the opponent's fireball, and the fireball was extinguished with a sizzling sound.
The fire mage did not give up. He continuously released fireballs from all directions at his opponent, trying to find a gap in his opponent's defense, but his opponent was obviously very skilled in releasing water walls, and he could not find any flaws.
Just as the fire mage was about to change his strategy and adopt other methods of attack, a huge water tornado rose from behind the water wall. His pupils shrank, and he began to run while continuously using spells to defend himself, trying to avoid it.
But unfortunately he failed and was carried into the sky by a waterspout.
The winner was decided. The water mage obviously remembered Ilsa's words to stop and canceled his spell. The fire mage who was swept into the sky fell to the ground with a thud. Fortunately, the shield around him was not broken, otherwise he would have been broken by this blow.
“Well done, Gene.
Miles, you made too many mistakes just now. I know your original intention was to find Gene's flaws, but by doing so, you also blocked your own sight. Observing the opponent's movements is a very important part of the battle, and you ignored this point..."
After the battle, Ilsa first commented on the loser Miles from beginning to end, and then turned around and pointed out some of Gene's shortcomings in this battle.
Ilsa turned around and gently said to the others, "It's not just them who need to remember what I'm saying. You all need to listen carefully too. I'm going to have everyone come up and compete one by one. If you make the same mistakes I've pointed out again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Although her tone was gentle, her words were full of threats.
Many students below couldn't help but shudder. It can be seen that although Ilsa looks gentle, she is definitely a majestic mentor in the students' minds.
