Chapter 160 Surprise
Although casters of the same realm are actually to some extent higher than melee characters in the same realm.
However, in this world, spell casters are much rarer than melee characters.
Therefore, most spell casting characters are always under the protection of many teammates, and then they can increase their gains from far away, or conduct large-scale attacks with long-range spells.
Almost no mage will personally engage in the most direct and dangerous battles.
Therefore, to what Taylor said suddenly, it is indeed an unfolding that no one would have thought of assuming that a group of the most talented freshmen in the Magic Academy would have to carry out a positive battle that they had never imagined.
But Taylor, who issued this order, was obviously not joking with the students in the first sequence.
Seeing a trace of confusion flashing across everyone's faces, Taylor also added again:
"Although I don't know what stereotyped impressions you each have about the caster. But I must tell you that in the educational reform that the college wants to implement, in addition to the innovation in teaching methods, what is more important is the subversion of the fundamental positioning of the caster."
"Even if you stubbornly believe that the mage must fight under the protection of melee characters. But do you really want to kill you to follow your wishes?"
Taylor said this and silently looked at Illeven beside him.
Seeing this, Ilevin immediately understood and took out a report of the war damages of the past and read out the real data from the federal military in such a ridiculous way:
"Thirty-two years ago, a large-scale border conflict between the Federation and the Three Kingdoms of India triggered a confrontation between the two major garrison corps for several months. A total of 137 mages above the middle level were invested in this battle, and 49 survived after the war. Thirteen people died in the group confrontation, and the rest were killed by enemy knights when they were raided."
According to the data in Illeven's hands, in the war thirty-two years ago, there were only a dozen mages who were actually killed between the two armies.
Most of the losses occurred almost all in raids without teammates’ protection.
"The caster is at a physical disadvantage, which is indeed a fact that no one can change. But it corresponds to the fact that the true attack strength of all casters has always surpassed the knights of the same realm."
"The reason why the caster is attacked by the knight is actually because almost all the casting characters are used to being protected by others. Once they leave a safe enough environment, they cannot even use the attack methods they originally had."
"So today's magic academy... will no longer create the kind of foolish people who have no self-protection power!"
...
Ilevin's words instantly convinced every student in the first sequence.
After all, no matter how gorgeous the truth is, it is not as worthy of everyone's own life.
As each class's tasks were confirmed, the seven-seat Taylor of the Academy once again triggered the alchemy trick under the Mystery Square, and once again opened the road to the underground.
In fact, the space underground in the academy is far larger than Su Mu and others imagined.
The place where all freshmen practiced casting yesterday was only one of many independent areas underground.
At this moment, when Taylor led the students into the interior of the Hanging Mountain again.
Whether it is the practice area that the fourth and fifth sequence classes are going to; the demon-suppressing space prepared for the third sequence classes; or the practice room to be used in the first and second sequences.
All the rooms were presented to everyone one by one in the changing changes of the clever passage.
Even according to the size of the Hanging Mountain in Su Mu's memory, Su Mu even began to deeply doubt...whether the academy was planning to build the entire Hanging Mountain into various strange spaces.
However, Su Mu's idea has not been verified yet.
The first-sequence class, which is currently the most popular among mentors, has arrived in a tall and wide practice room under the personal leadership of three mentors.
In the center of the practice room is a large area of sand that is used to reduce shock like a training ground.
Around the surroundings is a slew of stands slightly higher than the center, which makes it easier for the rest of the observers to clearly see the fighting situation of everyone on the battlefield.
Su Mu also noticed that there were also similar alchemy operating tables on the surrounding stands.
Obviously, there are still undetectable mechanisms under this sandy land.
As everyone was in their own position, as the former soldier who was most familiar with the battle, Illeven stepped forward without hesitation and announced the specific rules of the practice:
"The first part of practical practice is to be familiar with each other's magic and let yourself understand the basic details of the battle. So during this stage, you will randomly form teams and fight with other groups in a loop."
"Only after each of you has the most basic combat literacy, you can continue to carry out further combat training."
However, Yilewen's voice had just fallen, and among the thirty-three students in the field, there were thirty people in an instant, all of whom were slightly expectant, and looked at the remaining three people in a slight embarrassment.
There is no doubt that even in the first-sequence class, it is not actually a relatively balanced balance in strength.
The three Su Mu and the other two were at the top, both of which were able to cast middle-level magic smoothly, and the remaining one also touched the middle-level threshold and could summon two rules at the same time.
No matter from any perspective, as long as you become a teammate with one of these three, you will undoubtedly be stronger than most combinations between the court.
But Irevin had obviously considered this situation that the students could think of.
So Illeven's next sentence also erased this possibility:
"There are only thirty people from the fourth to the 33rd. As for the top three students who are obviously better than everyone in all aspects, they will have a more unexpected surprise."
As soon as Yilewen finished speaking, the door to the secret training room located inside the Hanging Mountain was suddenly pushed open again.
Then a figure in plain clothes also walked in under the leadership of the college workers.
What surprised Su Mu even more was that Su Mu happened to know the identity of this figure, because this person was... Winster, the border general of the Storm Corps who had once guarded the Kabat Fortress!
And Winster entered the training hall and saw Su Mu who was surprised, and smiled at Su Mu with a slight smug smile.
It seemed that he had already understood that he would see Su Mu again during this trip.
So just as Winster's strange smile at the moment, seeing that the so-called "surprise" had appeared on his own, Illeven added:
"Winster, the middle-level seventh-level knight, was once affiliated with the Storm Corps, one of the four major corpses. Now the college has temporarily seconded to the military, as a special teaching assistant of the college, assisting the freshmen in their actual combat learning."
When Yilewen said this, his eyes had been withdrawn from Winster and steadily flowed to the faces of Su Mu and the other two.
Then he said it gently, a decision that made all the other students envious and feared:
"The three students who are ranked in the top three, the opponent that the college prepares for you is the special assistant to the college...the seventh-level knight in the middle class, Winster!"
