Chapter 64: Twelve Stars of the Academy
Things were not too far from Li Qi's guess.
The next day, after finishing magic class with Lisa as usual and going to see Joe for alchemy class, Li Qi heard a piece of news from Joe.
It is said that Princess Ilona was not satisfied with the magic orb made by Drien.
Because the magic orb made by Drien has too high requirements and restrictions.
First of all, it must be used by a formal magician, otherwise it is impossible to activate the magic nodes inside to enhance the magic power.
Secondly, although its magic amplification strength is very high, the distance of magic on the battlefield is too short, and firearms are still the most commonly used weapons.
And Drien's orb seemed to only work on wands.
The people of England don't know yet that the firearms that Uno uses to strengthen with magic orbs are also specially improved firearms.
But even if they knew, Li Qi estimated that they would not use precious magical metals to make guns that they thought were evil.
As for the power of the final magic...
After testing, the legendary wizard discovered that the power of the meteorite spell did indeed exceed a range of fifty meters, but the problem was that the legendary wizard himself was also within the range of the meteorite spell.
It is impossible for Ilona to let the legendary wizards, who only have a dozen of them in the country, act as human bombs to launch suicide attacks on the enemy.
So to sum up, Drien's Orb was sent back by Ilona for a rework.
She had two requirements. The first was that it must be usable by apprentice-level magicians, and the second was that it must be able to strengthen firearms. She could even make a firearm specifically for Drien that could transmit magic power.
Derian was so angry about Ilona's request that when Li Qi came, Derian was still angry in the alchemy room.
Seeing this, neither of them dared to disturb him, leaving him alone in the room to vent.
Li Qi was not surprised by this situation at all, so after paying some symbolic attention, he continued to study his magic and alchemy.
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since he came to England. In order to live up to his identity as a "genius", Li Qi became an official magician at the end of the second month.
Although he has not yet taken the formal level assessment, after passing Julie's test, he now has the qualifications to learn 'formal level' magic.
That is level 2 magic.
Unlike the first-level apprentice-level magic, the second-level formal-level magic already has enough lethality.
Such as fireball, lightning, ice cone, etc.
Li Qi had already mastered these magics, and he was not interested in them. What really interested Li Qi were the second-level magics of England that were different from those of the outside world.
Like the first-level magic, England also has the second-level magic which is completely different from the outside world.
The most representative one is an offensive magic called "Crushing".
It can crush living things or bodies through magic power, but it has little effect on people with magic power. It is very effective against ordinary people.
Most of the special magic that Li Qi had learned before was like this, whether it was repair magic or suggestion magic, or the crushing magic and cutting magic he was learning now, the effect on ordinary people was greater than that on magicians.
This gave Li Qi a feeling that the purpose of developing these magics was to intimidate ordinary people.
If you feel confused, you have to ask, so Li Qi asked his current substitute teacher, Lisa, about the creation principles of these magics.
And Lysa's answer was:
"Your feeling is correct."
"? Is that right?"
Li Qi was a little surprised.
Lisa nodded. "Magic was originally created for war. Although peace has been restored, most of the time, magic is used against ordinary people, so most magic is more effective against ordinary people."
She said, and then thought for a while and said:
"But don't think that these magics have no effect on magicians. If magicians are caught off guard and are suddenly hit by these spells, they will also be hurt."
Look at what you said. If a magician is not prepared, not to mention bullets, even a simple magic-breaking dagger can kill him.
Li Qi complained in his heart, but he also understood that magicians in this world were fragile.
It is true that they have magical powers in their hands, but if they are not careful, ordinary people can also take their lives.
Li Qi was still thinking, but heard Lisa say:
"Your learning progress has exceeded my expectations. I don't have much to teach you now. Wait for the teacher to come out of isolation and let her teach you. In the meantime, you can find something else to do."
When Lisa said this, there was a hint of frustration in her tone.
Only by educating a genius personally can one understand the gap between a genius and ordinary people like her.
Lisa entered the academy at the age of fifteen. Now she is eighteen years old, but she is only a third-level magician.
It took her a full year to go from being a magic apprentice to becoming a formal magician.
It took another half a year to learn various kinds of magic.
This is the result of Lisa's hard work.
But this junior brother in front of him, it has not been more than half a year since he entered school, and he has already skipped the stage of magic apprentice and became a formal magician.
It also emptied all of Lisa's first and second level magic reserves.
Lisa thought she was not a jealous person, but when facing Li Qi, she was still somewhat jealous.
Gently shaking her head to get rid of the restless thoughts in her head, Lisa said again: "Perhaps, you can go and play with the eldest daughter of the Mills family. Doesn't she come to challenge you every day?"
"…She… forget it."
When Lisa mentioned this person, Li Qi's mouth twitched and he felt a little helpless.
Life in the magic academy is not as smooth as imagined, although Julie and Drien take good care of Li Qi.
Their students, Lisa and Joe, can also serve as Li Qi's backup, but after all, they have their own things to do and cannot pay attention to him all the time, so it is reasonable for them to be troubled.
Li Qi was not afraid of trouble. Besides, the magicians in this academy were just so-so in strength. He didn't need to put in much effort. He could defeat them by simply casting a few improved first and second level magics.
But what he didn't expect was that even so, he still got into big trouble.
Before talking about this trouble, I have to talk about some of the college’s systems.
The Magic Academy has a special system among students, called the 'Twelve Stars'.
The Twelve Stars are composed of the twelve best students in the Magic Academy. There is no restriction on grade or level. As long as you have the ability, you can be one of the Twelve Stars.
Li Qi was not interested in these twelve stars, but one of the people who had caused trouble for him was one of these twelve stars.
Mary Mills ranked 11th.
I heard that she was supposed to be Julie's student, but her spot was taken away by Li Qi, so she was very unhappy and went to challenge Li Qi.
The normal process is that Li Qi defeated her, and she felt that she was no match for him, so she either admitted defeat and stopped bothering Li Qi, or she used the power of her family to suppress Li Qi.
Then Li Qi brought out Julie, Derian, and even Amy to suppress this troublemaker.
But surprisingly, none of the above happened.
After being defeated by Li Qi, Mary was unwilling to give up and challenged again.
She did not look for other people, nor did she rely on her family's power. She studied magic every day and challenged Li Qi when she thought of a new trick.
Fight again and again after repeated failures.
This made Li Qi extremely annoyed.
But this girl has a powerful background and is the daughter of a duke, so Li Qi hasn't dared to go out much during this period.
Either come to Lisa's place or go to Joe's place, either way he won't appear in Mary's sight.
"Instead of playing house with her, I might as well continue studying my alchemy." Li Qi complained.
Lisa nodded slightly, looked at the glasses on Li Qi's face, and said:
"It seems that you are also very talented in alchemy."
"Fortunately, Mr. Deren taught well."
Li Qi said casually.
Lisa was silent for a moment, then said faintly:
"…Teacher Julie doesn't have time, not that she doesn't want to teach you."
"That's not what I meant. You're overthinking, Lisa-senpai..."
Li Qi was speechless. He didn't expect Lisa to think this way. But then he thought again that what he said just now could easily be misunderstood, so he explained again.
Lisa didn't know whether she believed it or not. She nodded and didn't ask any more questions. After finishing today's class, she planned to get up and leave.
But before leaving, Lisa gave Li Qi one sentence:
"By the way, try not to leave the academy these few days. If someone asks you to join some weird organization, don't agree. If you really run into trouble, come to me and I will help you solve it."
"good."
Hearing Lisa's instructions, Li Qi's eyes flickered and he nodded slightly in agreement.
He knew that Lisa was protecting herself.
At the same time, he also understood that something else might have happened on the battlefield at the front line.
