Chapter 248: Those who keep company with vermilion will become red, and those who keep company with [ink] will become black
The next day, Mo Cheng came to the Winterburg Magic Academy.
If you want to use the magic circle of Grand Mage Muzel, you must open it in his Mage Tower, and Mo Cheng needs to come and apply in advance.
It is absolutely impossible to use the service without applying in .
Because the master of that magic circle and that magic tower is Muzel, the legendary magician. Even if the struggle between the nobles and the queen becomes more and more intense, as long as the Winterhold Magic Comprehensive Academy continues to remain neutral, both sides must give the greatest respect to the great magician Muzel.
Moreover, the profession of magicians can often do many things that warriors cannot do. Warriors may be proficient in how to destroy the enemy, but magicians, especially mages, know how to create.
In fact, Mo Cheng was very aware of his own abilities. Before there were skills like the Silencer's [Global Silence] that were blatantly targeting mages, it was better for him to have a friendly relationship with mages, especially wizards.
Mo Cheng had fought against mages many times when he was in the [Foreign Land]. The destructive power and survivability of high-level mages were another matter, but their [Difficulty] was definitely maxed out.
Accidental magic, any door, anticipation, mechanical mind...
If you fail to kill the opponent instantly before the mage can react, the mage who reacts can reverse the situation with a set of spells.
Mo Cheng walked all the way into the gate of Winterburg Magic Academy, but the first thing he saw was the academy's arena, a facility in the academy used to solve some of the students' unanswered questions.
Mages firmly believe that when words cannot convince the other party, magic will definitely be able to convince the other party.
This is an arena exclusively for mages, and there is nothing special to pay attention to.
But the person who came on stage was worthy of Mo Cheng's attention.
It's Lilia.
She was flexing her wrists on one side of the ring, while on the other side, the one who was going to fight her was a young boy. Judging from his clothes and magic props, he might be the child of some noble family.
Such a scene naturally made Mo Cheng stop and watch. He could go find Archmage Muzel at any time, but it was rare to see Lilia fighting in the arena.
…
On the stage, the noble boy held a magic wand about half a meter long and looked at Lilia who was moving her wrist with a little nervousness.
He had heard a little about this girl who was admitted with full marks in all subjects. At that time, many nobles tried to find Lilia to invest, but unfortunately she had always lived in seclusion, so the investment was never realized.
Although the school had just started, the commotion Lilia had caused was enough for him to deal with it with all his strength. After all, she was a student that many teachers and even the principal were very optimistic about.
But he was not without the ability to fight. The boy learned that Lilia had been living in a border village before entering school, and until now she only knew how to create a mental shield which was not difficult at all.
Since childhood, he has been undergoing arduous mental training and memorizing advanced spell structures, so he is naturally much ahead of non-noble students.
In addition to the high-quality equipment he had on him, the other party didn't even have a magic item.
Can fight!
The boy silently estimated in his heart, and said at the same time: "Lilia..."
"Shut up!" Lilia didn't give the other party the chance to speak. "Russell Dylan, you will lose today, including your meaningless remarks. You will be crushed under my feet!"
“Bang!”
Mo Cheng covered his face with his hands and looked around guiltily. It was obvious who the white-haired little girl on the stage learned such provocative words from.
Russell's face flushed red after being rebuked, and it was obvious that he was angry. He stopped talking and silently gave himself a set of buff states.
According to the rules of the Winterhold Arena, the mage will have enough time to buff himself before starting.
In just a short period of time, Russell had already given himself four buffs: Bear's Toughness, Bull's Brute Force, Cat's Grace, and Owl's Wisdom. Of course, with Russell's ability as a student, he was not able to rely on himself to apply four buffs. Russell directly used four different spell scrolls.
"Oh my, Lilia is in trouble now."
Starting with four buffs, the wand in your hand will most likely have the ability to launch magic missiles.
This is not a new but very useful combination. With the four buff states, the mage will gain a strong all-round boost, and with the magic wand with [Magic Missile] attached, it is basically the same as facing Rambo with a pistol.
Although he is not a Rambo holding a Gatling gun, he is still a threat to Lillia.
"start!"
When the referee on the ring announced the start, Lilia took a big step and charged towards Russell.
"Stupid! Arcana!" Seeing that Lilia, a mage, wanted to rush over to fight him in close combat, Russell waved the magic wand in his hand. As the spell fell, three magic missiles flew out and shot towards Lilia from three different angles.
"Force field spell, straight trajectory..."
Lilia flipped her wrists, and a mental shield suddenly formed on the palms of her hands. Then she waved her hands like a fly swatter, swatting away three magic missiles that were attacking from different directions.
The magic missiles were broken in this way. Before Russell could release a second round, Lilia had already approached him to within one meter.
As a mage, Russell subconsciously jumped back to create some distance, but at this moment he heard a sneer behind him, "Idiot!"
It's Lilia, she's faster and stronger than Russell.
Before Russell could try to distance himself and cast a spell, Lilia's elbow hit him hard on the back of the head. The strong impact caused Russell to fall unconscious on the spot.
After undergoing Mo Cheng's insane training, Lilia might not be strong enough to defeat Russell on paper, but in actual combat, it is not difficult for her to defeat classmates of the same grade.
Russell is in a coma and the outcome is decided.
Lilia stepped on Russell's head and shouted to the students surrounding the ring: "Who else?"
"Who else thinks that aristocratic blood is so noble that it needs to be separated from non-noble students?"
Lilia stepped directly on the back of Russell's head, making his face touch the ground closely, and crushed it back and forth fiercely, "Who else thinks so? Come up, I'll give you a chance to show the [nobility] of your family bloodline!"
To know whether he is noble or not, just look at Russell at Lilia's feet and you will know that going up there does not show nobility, but a miserable defeat of being stepped on by others.
"Oh my, you've become friends with your classmates right after you started school." Mo Cheng's face was full of smiles, "Should I praise you for your popularity, or should I ask you who you learned this from? That's really worrying."
Although he said that, the smile on Mo Cheng's face told others his true thoughts.
"The youthful playfulness of boys and girls always feels extra energetic." Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Mo Cheng, "But the fight just now by Miss Lilia is not the way a mage should fight."
"That depends on your school's teaching arrangements. After all, Lilia came to Winterhold to learn magic. Whether students have mastered the knowledge or not should be something the school needs to worry about, don't you think?"
Mo Cheng looked at the person next to him, "Master Muzel."
