Chapter 226 Magic Training
For the entire morning, a group of magic apprentices were tortured to death by Ilio. Except for five goblins, a dragon, and Ace who were still standing firmly, the others were exhausted and fell to the ground.
Most of the magic apprentices who were able to enter the first class were the chosen ones from various countries, who were pampered like little ancestors at home. However, when they entered the elite class of Saint Villiers Magic Academy, they were suppressed and humiliated by the magic instructors at the level of Mage Saints before they could even start to show off.
"Since this is your first day of training, I'm considerately not deducting any points. You'll have another practical training session this afternoon, so I hope you'll perform well."
After Ilio finished his devilish speech, he put his hands behind his back and walked away slowly.
As soon as he left, the magic apprentices lying on the ground let out wails.
"Wow, I... I'm so tired. I can't feel my legs anymore."
"I felt like my leg was going to break."
"All my muscles ache. I'm so tired!"
"What's the actual combat training this afternoon?"
"Teacher just said that points would be deducted? God of Light! I don't want any points deducted!"
"Only ten points a month. Is that enough to deduct with the teacher's torture method?"
"Lu Weixi only has one point left, it's very dangerous!"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let him hear you."
Lu Weixi, who had heard it, glared at them sideways. The two people who were discussing him shrank back and immediately shut up.
Lu Weixi snorted coldly and looked up at the six people standing there with mixed feelings.
Is this... the difference between him and them?
Siti and Nasha helped each other to stand up, and asked breathlessly: "Um... Sperian, aren't you all... tired?"
Shu Li wiped the sweat off his face with a clean handkerchief and replied, "I'm not tired. We've trained more than today before!"
Budno said, "It's common to run all day."
Not only running, but also jumping and bouncing between trees.
Nasha asked hesitantly, "Life in the mountains is... hard, right?"
I've heard that mountain dwellers must develop strong bodies to avoid the invasion of monsters. Seeing them today, I can see that their reputation is indeed well-deserved. Amo and his men have surprisingly good physical strength.
Occasionally, Nasha would feel confused.
The temperament that Amo exudes is no less than that of an aristocrat. Inadvertently, he reveals a unique aura that is unpredictable.
Shu Li put away the handkerchief and said with a smile, "It's not hard, not hard at all."
The lives of the fairies are not too rich and fulfilling. The cubs are spoiled from childhood and have never suffered any hardship.
Nasha obviously didn't believe it and thought he was pretending to be strong.
Shu Li coughed lightly and didn't explain further.
Hector, sweating profusely, leaned against the railing by the roadside and asked Ace weakly, "The Sperians are mountain dwellers, so it's understandable that they have great physical strength, but... why are you so strong too?"
Ace was recommended by the Imperial Archmage to study at the Saint Vilia School of Magic, so he must have come from a distinguished background. While others, fellow nobles, were sweating profusely, Ace remained composed and composed, barely shedding a single drop of sweat.
That doesn't make sense!
"My mentor's teaching style is somewhat similar to Ilio's," Ace frowned. "Since childhood, I have received rigorous training like a warrior."
The darling of the God of Light, he is loved by all the gods. Even the God of Darkness has blessed the Son of Light.
Every god is the teacher of the Son of Light, and teaches him his most proud skills.
Shu Li asked in surprise, "No wonder you were able to single-handedly cross the Xisha Mountains, escape the bandit den, and flee all the way into the Dalia Empire."
Without super strong physical strength, it is not easy to climb mountains and cross rivers.
"Wait!" Hector asked blankly, "What bandit den?"
"Hey, you didn't know? Ace was robbed by bandits when he passed through the Xisha Mountains." Discio enthusiastically described to everyone in detail what happened to Ace and the bandits.
Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he had a strong ability to narrate and, with a little bit of his own imagination, described Ace as extremely brave, which left Hector stunned.
The other students pricked up their ears and listened to the wonderful story of Ace's battle of wits and courage with the bandits, and they couldn't help but stand in awe.
If they had encountered bandits, they would probably have had no choice but to sit and wait for death.
The magic wand, storage ring, and money were all stolen by the bandits. He was tied up and locked in a small dark room. Without great wisdom, he could not escape.
Ace not only escaped successfully, but also entered the forest in the dark. On the way, he did not forget to make a low-level magic wand for self-defense, shook off the pursuers behind him, and fled into the Dalia Empire in one go.
He is simply a god.
"Teacher is right, we are indeed too weak." Hector was touched after listening to Ace's story, "We must work hard this afternoon!"
Some students who originally had resentment lowered their heads in shame.
In the afternoon, after a two-hour break, the students recovered their energy and went to the magic training ground for class in high spirits.
In the empty training ground, Ilio asked with a smile, "Are you tired?"
The magic apprentices lined up in a row, their eyes fixed on each other, and answered in unison: "Not tired."
"Very good." Ilio narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled mischievously. "Since you're not tired, let's start a magic competition training right away."
Shu Li suddenly had a bad feeling and asked cautiously, "How do we compete?"
Ilio opened his right hand, chanted a simple spell, and a small tornado emerged from his palm.
"It's simple. As long as you can withstand my attacks for an hour, you win."
The magic apprentices were stunned.
Who can escape the attack of the Dharma Saint?
There is a huge disparity in power, there is absolutely no comparison.
"Is there a reward for winning?" Budno asked fearlessly, "Like increasing your points or something?"
Elio smiled and said, "Yes, everyone who can hold out for an hour will get one extra point."
Amanda asked quietly, "One point? Isn't that a little too little?"
Elio winked at him and said, "You don't have to."
Amanda quickly said, "Yes, yes."
It’s better to have something than nothing! A point is still a point.
Shu Li rolled his eyes and asked, "Then can we fight back?"
Ilio's game rules have always been flexible, and conditions can be added at any time.
"Of course, as long as you have the chance to fight back." Ilio raised two slender fingers on his left hand. "If you hit me, you'll get two extra points."
When the magic apprentices heard this, their eyes lit up and they all had their own ideas.
Even if the whole class of forty or fifty people joined together, could they not beat one person?
Lu Weixi urgently needed points, and after listening to the content of the training, he couldn't wait.
In order to earn points, I will fight to the death!
Soon, the students nervously grasped their magic wands, waiting for Ilio to cast the spell.
"Ready—go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ilio swung the small whirlwind in his hand. After the small whirlwind fell to the ground, it instantly turned into a big whirlwind half a meter wide and three meters high.
However, this was not the end. What shocked the magic apprentices even more was that the big tornado split into two, two into four, four into eight... In the blink of an eye, it split into twenty-four strands and spread out in all directions.
"Ah ...
The magic apprentices panicked and fled in all directions. For a moment, the huge training room became a mess.
"Team Light, assemble!"
Amidst the chaos, Shu Li raised his magic wand and gave orders.
The goblins and dragons were well-trained and quickly ran behind him. Ace was agile and passed through several tornadoes and stood next to Shu Li.
Nasha, Siti and Hector were willing but unable to do anything. They were chased by the tornado and could not reunite with their teammates.
Shu Li didn't think twice and brought his teammates behind him to pull the three of them into the team one by one.
"Stay in formation and find the tornado's movement patterns," he commanded calmly. "Be prepared to strike back at any time."
"Okay!" Angel replied.
The goblins are the masters of teamwork. To escape the Fairy Forest and venture onto the mainland, they besieged Ilio for three years, suffering daily torture. After countless trials and tribulations, they finally developed a tacit understanding and ultimately triumphed.
Although there are a few relatively weak humans in the team now, it does not affect their cooperation.
"Ilio is the eye of the storm," Kumandi said quickly. "All cyclones rotate clockwise."
Aisley glanced around and said, "The distance between each cyclone is five meters, and the wind speed is the same."
Shu Li gave him a thumbs up: "Great."
It was possible to calculate accurate data in such a short time.
Ace smiled.
Shu Li gave the order again: "Everyone of Team Light, run clockwise."
"yes!"
The members of Team Light used all their energy from running in the morning to compete with the whirlwind in speed.
The other magic apprentices were blown to and fro by the whirlwind, and those who got up and tried to escape had no plan and did not know where to find safety.
When the Light Team led by Shu Li found a pattern and successfully avoided the pursuit of the whirlwind, some magic apprentices followed suit, formed temporary teams and started cooperation.
Elio stood in the center of the training ground, arms folded, observing with interest. He smiled with satisfaction as he saw Shu Li leading his teammates in racing against the whirlwind.
However, when his eyes fell on Ace, he immediately touched his nose in embarrassment.
I hope the king won’t come after him later.
Shu Li led his teammates around the training ground several times before frowning and saying, "Keeping on is not an option. We must find a way to fight back."
"How...how to fight back?" Hector asked with rapid breathing.
I ran for several hours in the morning and was still running in the afternoon. I spent the whole day running.
Kumandi said, "The whirlwind's damage is minimal, equivalent to the power unleashed by a junior magic apprentice."
Most people who were hit by the tornado fell to the ground without any injuries on their bodies. They could get up and continue to run away, unless they were exhausted and unable to move, in which case they would be eliminated.
"So—" Dizio's eyes lit up, "We can resist!"
He is nominally an advanced magic apprentice, so how could he be stumped by elementary magic?
"First, set up a defensive shield!" Shu Li said, "Please buy me some time while I cast the light defense magic."
"good!"
The Light Team spread out and protected Shu Li in the middle. When the tornado came, they used their bodies to block it and slowed down the tornado's advance.
Shu Li raced against time, raised his magic wand and recited a long spell.
When the whirlwind was about to hit him, the spell was completed, and a light shield with a diameter of two meters suddenly appeared, repelling the whirlwind.
"Come in quickly!" he urged his teammates.
The teammates who were blown to the ground by the whirlwind climbed up nimbly and rushed into the protective shield.
The protective shield successfully withstood the attack of the whirlwind.
"Hoohoo—finally safe!"
Hector sat down on the floor, and Siti and Nasha were also panting, feeling like they had survived a disaster.
"Fight back!" Shu Li stared at Ilio in the center of the eye of the storm and gritted his teeth.
