Blood, fire, collapsed buildings.
The ferocious face of the roaring and breathing dragon.
The maw of the abyss is so close.
Gray suddenly sat up from the bed, panting heavily, wiping the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear, and gradually regained his cold expression.
I dreamed about it again.
Since the town he lived in was destroyed by a dragon two years ago, he would dream about that day every once in a while, and he would wake up from his dream every time.
Looking next to him, he saw that his roommate, whom he had not spoken to much, was no longer in the dormitory. With an expressionless face, he went to wash up, get dressed, and set out.
Today is the first practical magic lesson. Ever since he successfully awakened magic, he has been looking forward to the practical lesson. He wants to gain stronger power!
When he went out, he suddenly saw Conte, who was taught a lesson by him yesterday, waiting for him not far away. When he saw him, he immediately limped over quickly.
"Gray! Have you seen Dunan?!"
Gray, who originally thought that the other party was looking for trouble, was startled, frowned and said, "I haven't seen him before."
"Really?"
"Tch-" Gray stopped replying, snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the school building.
What's going on? Dunan is missing?
Gray had long been paying attention to Ji Xing, not because of some of Ji Xing's actions, but because he had heard that Ji Xing had the same past as him.
Ji Xing's home was destroyed by an evil dragon just like his. He thought that the two of them should have the same goals and desires.
But in the past month of contact, he found that the guy was completely different from himself. He runs and jumps around every day, smiling and saying hello to everyone he meets, just like those children who have been carefree since childhood, exuding a completely different flavor from him.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable, or rather envious that he didn't want to admit.
He remembered what Conte said yesterday, that guy awakened magic earlier than him?
Even if it is true, so what? My magic is the most destructive thunder and lightning!
Until he went to the Sixth Magic Training Ground, where today's practical class was held, a basketball court-sized venue surrounded by a fence to isolate magic waves, and saw a brown-haired young man holding a cigarette in his mouth and walking with a slight limp walked in. .
And behind the young man was Ji Xing.
I heard the young man say: "A total of 17 of the 29 students in your batch have awakened their innate magic within one month, which is a good proportion.
I am Pip, your teacher in the practical magic class. However, due to an accident, my leg was slightly injured, so Dunan will be my teaching assistant in the practical magic class for the next period of time, assisting me in guiding everyone's practice. "
The practice ground was silent for a moment, and looks of surprise crept up on everyone's faces.
Because Ji Xing stayed away all night and finally appeared, Kante was surprised and dumbfounded.
Sarah covered her mouth in surprise.
The little boy Rui looked up in confusion.
That's Dunan, right, the magic student who studies the history of magic and meditates with us?
How did you become a teaching assistant in practical classes? !
Gray felt even more confused and blurted out: "Why him?!"
Yeah, why him?
This is a common doubt among the 16 people except Ji Xing. Even if you have to choose an assistant due to injury, you should test everyone one by one before choosing, right? Why did you bring him here directly to complete the appointment today?
They have to pay tuition to learn magic.
But teaching assistants can get paid, right?
We were all from the same batch of magic students, so why did such a good thing happen to Dunan?
This is not fair!
They didn't have a deep impression of Ji Xing. In their memories, it seemed that apart from meeting in the school building, Ji Xing was either running or on the way to run.
Conte, who shares the same dormitory with Ji Xing, is more familiar to everyone. Compared to them, they are just a talkative boy and his quiet roommate.
Why do we become our teachers just by being our classmates?
"Look at his clothes!" At this time, a student suddenly said urgently.
When everyone heard the sound, they paid attention, and the surprise and confusion on their faces became more intense.
In the previous month and a half of study, everyone knew that people in Amidian College have four identities. One is ordinary students like them, wearing student gray clothes, and the other is like this guy with a cigarette in his mouth. Like teachers who hold posts in the college, a black lapel will be added to the gray clothes and worn cross-body from the right shoulder to the left waist, or vice versa.
The third and fourth are full and associate professors. Some are dressed the same, while others are wearing white robes.
And now Ji Xing, a student has a black lapel outside his gray clothes! Not only did he become a teaching assistant, but he also lost his identity as a student? !
Isn't he a student from our batch?
"Dunan is indeed just like you. He is a magic student who entered the academy a month and a half ago. However, he accepted the assessment last night from Professor Igor of the Practical Combat Department and was awarded the status of a formal member of the Practical Combat Department of the academy." Pip explained. .
Professor from the Practical Combat Department? !
In Amidian College, there are 17 professors in the research department, all of whom have made more or less improvements or contributions in magic research, or who have mastered a lot of magic and have excellent teaching abilities.
There are only three professors in the practical department.
They only specialize in one or two kinds of magic. They are the guardians of the academy, the strongest combat power, and the academy's signature characters for recruiting students from outside.
In order to maintain the operation of the college and obtain research funds, in this era without the Magisters' Guild, members of the actual combat department often accepted commissions from the outside world to complete tasks and earn remuneration. Only three professors could complete the commissions. A mission with a difficulty level above S level! A mission that would most likely kill an ordinary magician!
The students have heard about it for a long time, but they have never seen any of the three professors from the practical department.
It all involves Professor Igor, so it can't be a joke. The younger students are more innocent and gradually accept that the students in the same batch have become teachers. Anyway, Ji Xing is much older than them, and may show expressions of admiration.
Conte suddenly remembered everything in the past month. He could meditate while lying down, spoke slower, and awakened magic as early as the first day. He gradually came to understand that this guy Dunan... was really... An incredible magical genius? !
No, are you going to call him teacher from now on?
No, when he left yesterday, didn’t he say that he would help me take revenge on Grai? Why did he take the assessment and become a teaching assistant?
Thinking of this, he immediately turned to look at Gray, guessing what would happen next.
Sure enough, this arrogant guy Grai clenched his fists tightly and said in a deep voice: "Teacher! How do I apply for the assessment? I also want to take the assessment!"
"Huh--" A faint smoke enveloped Pip's expression. Well, he is young and energetic, so he can be dissatisfied. Yesterday, I was dissatisfied. I felt that I was "surreptitiously attacked" by a student and was very humiliated.
So my leg hurt.
As the smoke dispersed, he glanced at Ji Xing next to him and said with a smile: "The prerequisite for the assessment is that you must first be approved by me as a practical teacher. My legs are not convenient. If you want, you can talk to Assistant Du Nan Let’s have a spar.”
Gray gritted his teeth: "Okay!"
He was not stupid, and he could have imagined that this low-key classmate who became a teacher within a month and a half of being a student probably had amazing talent in magic combat.
But he didn't believe how big the gap would be, nor did he believe that he would have no chance of winning!
The other students did not expect that such an exciting thing would happen in the first class, and they were also curious about what kind of magic and talents Dunan, the classmate who suddenly became an assistant teacher, would have. Under Pip's command, they stepped away and gave the two students Set aside space.
When several blue arcs of electricity jumped out of Gray's body, the students were surprised and envious.
"It turned out to be thunder and lightning..."
"Amazing!"
Conte's heart skipped a beat. Yesterday, this guy wasn't serious at all and didn't use all his strength. I thought it was paralysis magic, but it turned out to be thunder and lightning?
He quickly looked at Ji Xing's expression.
Ji Xing stood opposite Grai, did not move, and just nodded slightly: "I'm ready, come and attack, classmate Grai."
Tsk, does this tone of voice mean that you have assumed the identity of a teacher? Grai snorted in his heart and suddenly rushed towards Ji Xing, and then... it was over.
His lightning-enclosed fist was still far away from touching Ji Xing, and a palm hit his forehead at a speed that he couldn't react to.
With a bang, his body was pushed backwards by a huge force and hit the ground directly. The back of his head was concussed. He felt that his brain also went blank at the same time, and the lightning on his body disappeared instantly!
Off the street.
"Eh-" A gasping voice sounded.
The students looked at Grai, who was lying on the ground in a large shape, and then at Ji Xing, their eyes widened.
In an instant? !
"Awesome! Dunan!" Conte felt too relieved: "No, Teacher Dunan!"
"It's really amazing..." Sarah also murmured in a daze, her eyes flashing.
That's right. Although his lightning magic is quite outstanding, this is the normal level for a new magic student. Pip cursed and was about to step forward when he suddenly saw Gray getting up with some trembling body after being pushed down by Ji Xing.
"Wait, wait! It's not over yet!"
His eyes were a little red, and a deep breath came from around him: "I haven't lost yet!"
Crack - dangerous electric arcs expanded from his feet, and other students watching the battle not far away felt a numb feeling on the soles of their feet!
Grai's aura became completely different!
'This is...' Pip's face changed slightly: 'The power of emotion! Hey, hey, isn't it? You can instill such strong emotional power into your magic just after learning it. Is this a monster? ! Oops! I will be deducted money from anyone I hurt! '
It feels so strong! The students didn't know, they just marveled, was Gray too careless just now? I feel like these two people are so awesome.
Conte said anxiously: "Be careful! Dunan!"
Grai just stared at Ji Xing.
I came to the academy to learn magic, to become the strongest, and to slay dragons! How could I fall at your feet so easily? !
As early as that day, I swore that it would be my last time of tears and weakness!
How can you, a guy who forgets hatred and laughs and laughs every day, beat me? !
Zila——
Electric current enveloped his body, and he burst out faster than Conte in an instant. He rushed in front of Ji Xing and punched the wind. Compared with before, he was more than twice as fast as before!
"Where's the BGM sound coming from?" Ji Xing couldn't help but muttered, his right hand became a knife, Duang!
Bang——
The speaker was directly smashed!
Ji Xing's hand knife hit Gray on the head! This time, Grai faced the ground and flopped down at Ji Xing's feet, making an extremely heavy muffled sound!
His body twitched and stopped moving.
Students: "??!"
Conte opened his mouth blankly.
Also, or a blow? ! My roommate...no, my teacher...this? !
The corner of Pip's mouth twitched, and he felt a dull pain in his right leg. Huh, forget it, compared with this thing, what kind of monster can it be with the power of emotion...
