College (7)
"Fine!"
Inger whistled and raised his arms.
The snow-white griffon circling in the sky flapped its two pairs of wings and hooked its claws firmly on Inger's arm guard.
Inger lowered his left hand, barely bringing it to his chest, and hooked its chin with his fingers: "Baby, you are so heavy..."
[Sure enough, the food at home is too good, and this family is growing up too fast. 】
In fact, this is still a reduced form. In fact, when it was in the circus, it could already be transformed into its original form.
The first time I brought it out from home, it couldn't help but grow bigger and became a monster that was four or five meters tall.
With its two pairs of wings spread, it soared into the sky, blocking out the clouds and the sun.
Later, I made arm guards and shoulder guards and trained it slowly. The child was also very smart and learned it quickly.
But his arm strength is usually not enough.
When he fed it fish and it started chirping, Inger made a stroke with his fingertips.
The magic spell "translate" in Tibetan appeared in the air, and he gently put the spell into the little boy's mouth.
Then Finé's screams changed from meaningless howls to understandable language.
"Eat, eat, eat! Fish! Delicious!"
Although as a magical beast, it is more intelligent than most beasts, but it is still a cub after all and cannot express complex meanings.
But he didn't know how to teach it, so he could only hope that it would become wiser as it grew up.
Holding the kid on his arm to train his arm strength, he took out the magic wand in his right hand and repeated the same strokes in the air.
The spell was originally written with strokes, but he got bored and just drew it with a horizontal line.
I didn't think it would be successful, but because the spell writing method was clearly engraved in my mind, it really worked.
Association increases magic power, which undoubtedly greatly shortens the casting time.
But it doesn’t always work out.
So he kept practicing repeatedly to improve his success rate. In fact, the success rate of Chinese and English is the highest, while the success rate of Shenyu and Tibetan is lower. It is also related to the level of language mastery.
At this time, Bixi came over with an umbrella in hand.
"Given your ability, the final test doesn't seem to require practice."
"Well, I'm just practicing for fun." Inger said softly.
The unified final test for students was not difficult at all for him. The problem was that his current supervisor, Professor Obide, gave him a topic.
One is to assist the knight in actual combat exercises, and the other is to fight against the knight.
He is not afraid of the former, but he has no way of doing the latter.
"...Teacher, can I just surrender..." When Inger thought that his opponent was Opide himself, his stomach shrank and his face turned blue.
"Why not give it a try?" Bi Xi looked like he was enjoying the excitement.
Inger sighed: "The principal is an 8th-level knight... Teacher, you are more than capable of fighting... and I didn't learn magic to fight others..."
Besides, he won't actually go to the battlefield anyway, and there's no need for him to do so.
Bixi couldn't help but poke his face. "You little guy, you're only a teenager, but you're just like a 30-something man, you have no ambition, you only know how to escape, and you just like to sigh."
[There's just a man in his thirties in there, I have no clue...]
After being beaten by the years for so long, they have long lost the youthfulness and innocence.
"Then just consider it as a contribution to research. You may not need to use it in the future, but the results you leave behind will benefit future generations. You don't want to join the army or go into politics. Do you want to work in a research institute in the future?"
Inger shook his head. To enter the research institute, academy or the Vatican, one had to stay in the capital.
Although the Central Directly-Administered Region where Nantes is located is not on the eastern coast, it is close to it. It is within the second and third lines of defense for the Warcraft invasion.
If he wanted to avoid the war, he would have to flee inland with his family after Alex's coronation.
"Well, what a pity." Bixi had no intention of forcing him.
Inger said sincerely: "Teacher, I am just an ordinary person who cherishes his life."
"Hahahaha, an ordinary person? Indeed, I am also an ordinary person."
Bixi laughed meaninglessly.
Inger took a nervous sip of his tea.
[What the hell are you talking about, you genius 8th level wizard? ]
In November, the weather was getting colder, and he had to wear a thick poncho when he was in school. Although it was light and warm, it was too conspicuous.
So he asked Ditsu to make a small hot stone collar pin to pin on the collar of his school uniform.
Hot stone is also a kind of magic stone. It is a magic stone that is often used at home in winter to generate heat and maintain a constant temperature.
The golden chain and the red magic stone can generate heat by injecting a small amount of magic power. A heat stone the size of a fingernail can be used for several months.
Other noble ladies and gentlemen liked his brooch and followed suit. Norihua was the first to discover the business opportunity and applied for a patent. He sold various styles of hot stone brooches in the noble circle, which also set off a trend.
Inger was reading the newspaper at home when he saw the news about the construction of the north-south railway track, so he mentioned it to Noriha at school.
"The construction and revenue of the trains are all controlled by the royal family. We cannot interfere with this, but..."
Norihua saw this and naturally replied, "We can get involved in the land along the train route."
“Especially the bus stations.”
"But the royal family has not yet announced the construction route..."
"The initial planning must have already begun. You can hire some detectives to explore along the existing tracks and along multiple routes. You will always find clues. If you want to maximize economic benefits, you must consider the places with the largest flow of people and the most prosperous places. After all, this is a passenger train."
Having read the comics, he already knew where the train line would go. Of course, what he was most concerned about was the freight trains on the same line, which were the key to the war.
The supply of wartime supplies and the transportation of personnel are very critical issues. And let's not talk about the demon invasion war. Before that, the continental war in Onerola, that is, the Western Continent, is about to begin.
"The east-west train line is also a possibility. Don't you think Salambra is too noisy and Levi's is too quiet recently?"
He couldn't say it directly, so he could only nod slightly.
The western part of Qiu Ne is slightly behind the eastern part. Although the western army is strong, it is difficult to resist once Li Weier invades despite the natural barrier of the Monster Mountain Range.
If the East-West Front had been built earlier, we would have had more confidence in the war and would not have been so passive.
In the comics, the East-West Line was suspended due to funding issues, causing the war with Levitra to become stalemate at the beginning.
That will certainly not be the case this time.
He had mentioned this to his brother, Lanmore, and discovered that Alex was also working on it.
The eldest princess was the one who originally proposed building the East-West Line. Now with their family's support, it will probably be accomplished.
Norihua thought for a while and exclaimed: "As expected of the second son of the Neka family, he is well-informed."
"By the way, you should also pay attention to some seemingly unprosperous abandoned places."
In addition to areas with large traffic flows, there is another influencing factor: mining areas.
According to his comics, a huge insulated rock ore vein will be discovered in the near future.
In the future war, Insulite is an important strategic mineral, just like ordinary Magic Stone and Magic Stone.
Noriha did not ignore this seemingly contradictory statement.
"Can I ask why?"
Inger calculated the time and put a finger to his lips: "Pfft. Wait and see the national newspaper. I can't reveal this."
"Wow! You don't have a class in the last period of the morning! And you didn't wait for us!"
Cheryl threw her scorpion tail braid back, her face flushed, and in the middle of winter, her ears were covered with sweat.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xie Li!" Nolihua handed her a glass of water.
Cheryl sat down beside her and gulped down the water.
Inger couldn't help but mention it because of his long-term occupational disease, "Don't drink water so quickly after exercise, be careful of stomachache."
Wu Rui sat down next to him and said with a smile: "Her stomach is made of insulphuric acid. She won't break even if she drinks sulfuric acid."
Cheryl wiped her mouth and complained, "I thought I would feel more relaxed after coming to school, but why do I feel even more tired?"
Wu Rui also held his chin and smiled bitterly: "We were originally training archery, but the instructor insisted that we fight with other students with swords."
Norihua said, "I remember that weapons were only divided in the second year of knighthood."
Cheryl pressed the water cup on the table and said, "Yeah, swords are not our forte, but at least we are not bad. But the instructor asked us to fight with Alex! How can we beat that pervert?"
Wu Rui exclaimed: "It's totally unlike the swordsmanship of people our age."
Inger complained:
[Of course. Even your instructors may not be able to beat Alex, a 35-year-old, in swordsmanship. I guess that guy is just letting him off a lot...]
But why is he still bothering with all this? He could drop out of school right now...
"But he's a really good teacher, better than the instructor." Cheryl admitted reluctantly.
【ah……】
This is Alex's goal, to train young partners and then use the identity of a student as a cover to avoid the sight of other guys.
Wu Rui looked at Noriha: "Ms. Midibai is in the regular class, right? It's great that she doesn't have to suffer from magic and swordsmanship."
Norihua twitched her lips and said, "The regular class is more suitable for me, but memorizing is not any easier than it is for you. I wish I had a memory as good as yours."
Inger was almost tired of hearing this, he rolled his eyes and didn't want to respond.
Cheryl slammed her hands on the table, "Yes! You go to the knight class every day, so why don't you have to train? And you're so skinny! Come with us to the training ground to practice swordplay!"
Inger immediately said, "No! I don't want to go to class! I can't even lift the sword, if it hits your foot, you will be responsible!"
Wu Rui laughed so hard that he fell down.
"What are you laughing at? I'm telling the truth!"
Kumpeu and Alex were sitting in a corner where they could be seen.
昆佩烏看着艾利克斯已經把眼睛放在那邊第十三次了。
“殿下……要去打個招呼嗎？”
艾利克斯笑了笑，“沒事，不用，這樣就很好。”
本來英格爾以為，期末測試和上次一樣，是閉關式的。
是他想得太理所應當了。
百色蘭廣場上，旁邊的騎士班，魔法班将座位坐滿，甚至還有普通班的學生和高年級學生來湊熱鬧。
他們瞪大眼睛屏息凝神，像一窩青蛙。
教授們整齊地坐了一排。
英格爾在這衆目睽睽之下對峙歐必德校長。
他緊張得要吐了。
原本臨時得知是公開考核他就呆住了，然後上臺前被歐必德教授告知，要和他來一次演練。
說是要在衆人面前展現一下研究成果。
“放心，不過就是個學校考核，記者和軍事要員都不在。”
“……老師我棄權，請讓我挂科。”
“棄什麽權？考試權？你有時候說話真搞笑。”
【寫卷子還可以交白卷呢？太過分了!】
英格爾欲哭無淚。
不過上場之後，也只能硬着頭皮。
他在空中快速劃了四筆，咒言就形成了，飛到歐必德身上。
歐必德手持長劍，身下法陣升起，劍上騰起紅色的火焰。
下一瞬間，歐必德的身體出現在了場地的另一側，鋼鐵制的傀儡被四分五裂，斷痕上騰起藍色火焰，鋼鐵都有融化的跡象。
……
場地至少靜了三秒，比歐必德出招的時間要多。
接着嘩然。
“哇啊啊啊!剛剛發生了什麽？”
“這就是8級騎士，8級劍客!太酷了!”
“可這不是英格爾·涅卡的考核嗎？”
“好快，我都強化了眼睛，竟然還看不清!”
“校長會瞬移嗎？”
“剛剛那個咒語!你看到他寫的筆畫了嗎？”
“我沒看到!他就劃了四下!”
“怎麽可能啊!”
“我沒見過這樣短的寫咒!”
…………
騎士班和魔法班的讨論重點顯然不一樣。
而歐必德此舉明顯不是給學生看的，他看向教授們。
“看清楚了？這個是巫師對騎士的戰鬥輔助魔法。那麽進行下一個。”
英格爾抹了把冷汗。
【也對，這些老師們，根本不需要解釋。】
但學生中有一個人站了起來。
是一位墨藍色長發的騎士公子。
他的俊美容貌在一衆學生中無疑是亮眼的。
他直接站起身，大喊道：“老師!他剛剛施咒太快了!能說一下是哪幾個咒言嗎？”
歐必德似乎認識他：“墨蓮？好，應，你來說。”
英格爾：“……是護盾，火焰，加速，重力。”
“……”
其他學生正認真聽着，沒了後續，傻了。
英格爾被那些眼神紮得渾身不舒服，只得又補了幾句：“……呃，護盾和加速是施加在老師身上的，火焰在劍上，極高溫，重力是施加在傀儡上的……用于制敵。”
之所以選擇這幾個作為展示，是因為這個組合最簡單，最容易理解，其他的，他們在研究過程中也得出了很多，但都比較複雜。
果然這樣一講，魔法班和騎士班許多學生都露出恍然的神情。
“啊啊啊啊……還可以這樣……”
“我的天那個速度，還是不敢相信……”
“我要寫好久……”
“他是怎麽将魔法這樣穩定地施加在人身上的？”
“校長可是8級啊!這個魔力總量嘶……”
“速度可以快很多嗎？”
“這樣戰鬥對騎士真的幫助很大!太厲害了!”
“巫師的魔法還可以這樣用!”
“我還以為巫師只能用治療魔法呢……”
“哇我肯定不行……”
歐必德可沒想等着一群學生讨論結束，他幹脆道：“來吧，下一項，做好準備，小心受傷!”
說着，他将劍一甩，劍尖指向英格爾。
“喔噢噢噢哦哦!怎麽回事!”
“校長要親自和學生戰鬥，還是個低級巫師？”
“太離譜了吧！巫師怎麽可能打的過騎士!”
“這是要幹嘛？”
……
艾利克斯緊緊捏着手中的劍鞘，金色眼眸中的光澤令陽光都有些黯然失色。
謝麗爾，烏瑞和諾梨華在場邊為他吶喊加油。
纖瘦的少年巫師瞄了一眼自己手中脆弱的練習魔杖，冷汗順着脖子滑了下去。
【……我是誰，我在哪，我在幹什麽……】
當然，他超人的記憶直接替他做出了行動。
他的身體在思考之前，動了起來。
英格爾朝着完全空蕩的另一側打出濃縮的火焰。
而歐必德瞄準這個破綻，持劍朝他身體刺去。
所有人都倒吸一口氣。
接下來的所有畫面就完全超出了所有人的想象。
英格爾迎着劍尖擡起左手。
下一秒，歐必德出現在了另一側，恰好撞在他剛剛打出的火焰上。
“嘭!”
火焰很快炸響——那不是火，而是爆炸。
歐必德剛來得及收劍，正面接下這一擊，猝不及防退了半步，但毫發無傷。
他拍了拍褲子，誇了句：“做的不錯。”
突然，歐必德手中的劍自己動了，朝着歐必德的身軀刺去。
他用力掣住，才不得寸進。
歐必德眨了下眼，一邊用劍氣和勁力将劍硬拉出來，看向英格爾。
少年巫師反應極為迅速，行動都冷靜得可怕。模樣看起來卻不像樣，臉上挂着汗，皺着眉，眼神甚至有些閃躲。
歐必德邁出一步才發現，身上施加了幾倍重力。
當然，這個也難不倒他。
8級騎士輕松地邁出步子，恍若無物。
【哇……根本沒得打嘛……】
于是他左手又伸出來，輕輕念了一句。
歐必德身體一輕，飄了起來，順便，人上下颠倒了過來。
英格爾右手魔杖立刻跟上，空中浮現出十幾支光電之矛，尖銳直指空中的歐必德。
歐必德滿意的點了點頭，在空中腰腹使勁，手一揮，劍氣下沖，把自己倒轉了回來。
英格爾松了口氣，解除了魔法，把人放了下去，收起了光矛。
歐必德落下來，站定後拍了拍英格爾的肩膀。
英格爾抹了把汗，雖然魔力消耗不大，但這個刺激感他不想體會第二遍了。
那劍尖的殺氣，絕對是真的!
他一個和平年代的社恐哪見過這場面。
歐必德将英格爾僵硬的身體一把攬過來，“魔法班和騎士班的學生聽好了，這周追加一個小組課題，題目就是剛才那場演習的過程，下周課堂報告。另外，不準問英格爾本人。”
英格爾登時汗如雨注。
學生們沸騰了。
方才起身提問的墨蓮已經站在了場外邊緣，他目光連連閃爍，喃喃道：“爆炸，轉移，操縱，重力，飄？不對那個咒語不是漂浮，最後那個是單純的變形魔法嗎……不，看上去很有威力……”
“原來……原來巫師還能這樣戰鬥!”
“好厲害!真的能和騎士進行戰鬥!”
“誰看清了他用了哪些魔法？”
有些學生和墨蓮一樣激動興奮。
“哇，搞沒搞錯，他幾級了？這些魔咒我很多還不會寫呢，他一個個用得這麽熟練？”
“怎麽可以這樣連着用啊，我用三個魔力就告罄了。”
“教授根本沒得打認真打吧，要不然他哪有機會施咒？”
“那可是8級啊!如果是同級……難以想象!”
有些學生卻比較理智地得出現實的結論。
墨蓮跳上臺階，跑過去，“老師!該我了!”
英格爾正要下去，見狀懵了：“？？？”他看向歐必德。
歐必德面無表情把他朝墨蓮一推。
“正好，給你介紹一下，這是第二位項目的指導生。他是騎士班的，墨蓮·阿米艾爾。”
——戰輔巫師也不一定要是會戰鬥的巫師，也可以是會魔法的騎士。
英格爾抗議道：“老師，我累了，我要下去。”
歐必德捏着他的肩膀對他微笑：“我知道你魔力量還足夠，就随便試一下。”他轉身就下去了。
墨蓮抽出佩劍，劍身上騰起熒藍色劍氣。
英格爾迅速捕捉到劍上的魔法式，“加速”“強化”“鋒銳”
墨蓮提劍向他沖去。
英格爾暗嘆一聲，手無寸鐵竟也朝着他沖去。
場外驚呼連連。
墨蓮雖驚詫卻沒停下。
英格爾和剛才一樣，左手握住一個“轉移”的法陣。
墨蓮目光一閃，臨時改變姿勢，卻眼見着這個法陣倒着往英格爾自己身上穿了過去。
于是英格爾出現在了他身後。
墨蓮剎住腳步，剛想轉身。
魔杖的尖頭抵住了他的背心。
墨蓮停在原地，丢下了劍。誰知劍一落地，就乒呤乓啷碎成了十幾片。
他瞳孔一縮，“拆分……什麽時候……”
英格爾輕輕在他背心點了點，給他施加了一個“護盾”
“恩，如果把劍上的鋒銳去掉，換成身體的護盾會更好，當然，如果能同時維持四個也不是不行，但魔力消耗量有些大，面對巫師的話，你那把劍不用鋒銳加持也能砍死我……太危險了吧……同學之間還是安全為主……”
Inger walked over and secretly returned his practice sword. He weighed it and handed it to Molian. He stepped back a few steps, fearing that the fight would continue, and ran away in a hurry.
