Chapter 22: White And Robert Attempts to Pay the Debt
The storm of controversies outside didn't affect that much to the Saint Marian Academy.
There were not so many conspiracies among the little magisters.
The first Sunday of opening the Traveller Street quietly passed away amid frequent complaints.
Then, the freshmen ushered into the first class of the fifth week.
Professor Silver still entered the classroom on time, but she no longer used the [Silence Card] because the freshmen had already learned this time.
"Starting this week, we will learn how to use Summon continuously in a duel!"
Summon had a casting time and a casting interval.
Magic energy had output power, maximum continuous output time, and upper limit of magic energy.
The less magic energy remained, the lower the output power.
Therefore, how to use the limited magic energy to release multiple summons in the same period of time as quickly and steadily as possible was a point that duelers especially needed to consider.This mainly involved magic energy management and time management, which required arithmetic calculations!
The famous Dragon Egg Magister Dada Vinci once said that arithmetic was the basis of all magisters!
Whether it was actual combat or research, it was inseparable from arithmetic!
This month, Dark had an assessment of his magic energy.
The total amount of his magic energy was still rising rapidly, and had already exceeded the standard value of a third-year student.
The quality of magic energy was close to that of second-year students even in the state of no refinement.
As for the output power, it was a bit exaggerated.
With the usual Summon he currently mastered, there was no need to worry about "output blockage" caused by continuous casting.
As a well-deserved straight-A student among first-year students, Dark's usual Summon casting time had been compressed to less than ten seconds, and the same was true for Summon CD.
This meant that he could use normal summon to activate magic cards three times in one minute.
"Use normal Summon to activate three magic cards continuously within one minute" was one of the final assessments of the first year summon class.
Being able to complete a whole year's project in less than a month, it was no wonder that Dark was favored by Professors.
...
Today's Summon class was still taken with the students of Knight House.
Dark sat in his old position and had a panoramic view of the classroom.
He had already mastered the knowledge that Professor Silver was going to teach today, so there was no need for him to worry about triggering the [Greed] indicator in class now, but he still needed to pay attention to the [Sloth] indicator. However, he brought a book to read as usual.
Because all the books he read were related to the classroom, the Professors often turned a blind eye to it, and some even took the initiative to discuss with him.
For example, the book Dark was currently reading was "The Summon Forum of Spiritual Bond Magister Red- The difference between magical spirit summoning and other magic summoning".
A new concept called "bond" was added to it, which was considered to be the root of "Spiritual Bond Summoning".
When this concept first appeared, it was ridiculed by many magisters.
The magisters believed that the intelligence level of magical spirits was at most 2, which was half a level lower than the 2.5 of familiar spirits. The ability to command them to attack and evade was already the limit. As for how to communicate with magical spirits and build spiritual bonds-it was basically foolish dreams!
But, all this had changed after Red ascended to the national champion duel in that year!
The power of the Spiritual Bond Summoning began to be valued, and the magisters began to regard the magical spirit card as "life", and some even spoke to the magical spirit cards.
Fanatics even injected their souls into the magic cards, trying to build the [bond] by increasing the intelligence level of the magical spirits, so that the magical spirit could burst out of the strength that it showed on the card.
But Dark hasn't reached this point yet. The book in his hand mainly talked about how to communicate with the magical spirit and get a response from the magical spirit in order to reduce the consumption of magical energy and the casting time of summoning it.
In order to shorten the casting time of the magical spirit to the limit, it was necessary to master the knowledge in this book.
"I heard that Professor Cazer will teach us how to make the first magical spirit card in the next section of the Introduction to Magical Spirit... After success, we will be able to use this knowledge."
Dark couldn't help thinking what his first magical spirit would be.
At that time, he suddenly saw Robert and White of Knight House whispering, seemingly plotting something.
...
White and Robert were also nestled in the corner of the classroom, just on the side near the back door.
Robert glanced at the direction of the window like a thief, and whispered, "See, I told you that sitting at the back will not be called by the Professor. You see, Demon hasn't been called much recently!"
"Are you talking about Dark?" White also whispered, "Anyway, we have to save our points! Within today, you must get forty points!"
Robert clinched, "Don't worry, 10+10+10+10, that's forty points! It's just two lessons!"
White, "That's good..."
...
Professor Silver, "Gawd, can you answer this question: How to adjust breaths correctly during the transition between the two summoning spells?"
White, "..."
Professor Silver, "I hope you can be more serious in class! Deduct five points!"
...
White, "Robert, what should I do?!"
Robert, "It's okay, don't be nervous, there are three classes today, it doesn't matter if we lose another fifteen points!"
White, "Fifteen points, no matter how unlucky I am, it won't exceed it, right?"
Robert, "Don't worry, White."
...
The Summon class ended under the icy gaze of Professor Silver.
In the magical classroom, Professor Cazer entered the classroom five minutes earlier, but the students did not calm down because of this. Some even boldly asked, "Professor, do you really want to teach us how to make magical spirit cards today?"
"Of course." Professor Cazer slowly pulled out a magic card from his sleeve and activated it.
Then, a heavy box suddenly appeared on the podium.
Professor Cazer clapped his hands and asked, "Can someone help me distribute the materials in this box?"
"Me!"
"Me!"
After a few responses, Emma stood up from her seat silently and began to distribute materials.
In the end, those students who screamed the loudest could only watch.
Professor Cazer smiled, "Mortis, one package per person will do."
Emma, "Okay, Professor."
...
Dark was the last to get the materials.
This was a pack of materials in a transparent bag, and there were even two blank magic cards in it!
It could be seen that the base price of this package of materials would exceed 20 credits!
