Mage Adam

(Written before, recently everyone said that I am water... well, I accept the criticism, I deleted the tens of thousands of words of the manuscript, deleted and condensed the daily plot into one chapter. This chapter is a transitional chapter, It's a bit blunt...The next chapter will start the war trial plot.)

Tim Peggy's icy eyes seemed to penetrate Dean Barbara, and landed directly on Adam. The anger in it made Adam shudder, but he knew that he was safe, so he simply suspended in the air without making a sound. Behind the dean.

Tim Pegg also revealed his elemental body, but in the end he didn't do anything. He just took Monica out of the ground and flew out of the tower without saying a word.

———

"Actually, you don't have to worry about it. Tim Pegg would never dare to kill you." After the dust of the duel incident settled, Tim Pegg left Moldo Academy directly with Monica, the only surviving apprentice, and Adam followed Dean Barbara back to her office.

"Because of the regulations of the Mage Council?"

Dean Barbara nodded: "Yes, there are very few regulations in the council, but the more they are like this, the less mages dare to violate the existing regulations. Even his first magic is just a bluff, otherwise you There is no chance of dodging at all."

Adam recalled the situation just now, and knew that what the dean said was right, the feeling after being locked in front was really terrible, Adam suddenly thought of Anti-Mage: "Will he..."

"No." Dean Barbara said categorically, and then looked at the puzzled Adam and gave an explanation: "First, the reason why he was angry was not because he cared so much about the life and death of the apprentices, but because he lost Face. Second, the trial of the war will start soon, and the trial will be watched by the Master of the True Spirit. As long as you pass the trial and become a mage, your soul will be uploaded to the magic net. No mage dares to risk anger All the real danger to sneak up on a war mage."

Dean Barbara personally handed Adam a drink and motioned Adam to try it.

Adam looked at the purple water bubbles in the cup, and he was hesitant to see the hot and boiling drink. After taking a sip tentatively, he found that the taste of this weird drink was actually very good, and the liquid quickly replenished the mental power he had just consumed. Adam's eyes As soon as it was lit, he drank the drink in one gulp.

Adam thanked Dean Barbara, and then asked, "Excuse me, when will the war trial start?"

Dean Barbara pointed to the seal on his chest: "Don't worry, it's good for you to stop properly. Although knowledge represents power, how to use power requires a process of training. I saw your Magic, the power is good, but I think you can do better, can't you?"

Adam admits that what the dean said makes sense, but it doesn't apply to him. For him, the thread in his mind is being optimized all the time. The new magic that was just used on a whim has been revised in the short time of the conversation. Many times, if the duel happened again, he would guarantee that none of Monte Carlo's apprentices would leave alive.

But he immediately got the news he wanted to know. Dean Barbara smiled and said to him: "After waiting for two years, within the scope of the Fifth Element Holy Tower, all qualified apprentices in all colleges will be in Under the arrangement of the holy tower, we will conduct trials together."

After getting good news from the dean, Adam went to the academic department to submit his thesis and some relatively rough spell runes. After walking out of the tower, he saw a group of people waiting outside.

In addition to the assistants and Elliot in the laboratory, William and Frank, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, were also present.

"Let's go." After Adam said two words, he flew out of the academy with everyone behind him.

There is no funeral, and there is no cemetery. Most apprentices are incinerated directly with magic after death, and James is no exception.

Under everyone's gaze, Adam took out James' body from the portable space and suspended it in the air.

Adam waved his hand lightly, and raging flames ignited on the corpse, accompanied by a gust of wind that came from nowhere, the gray-white ashes flew profusely into the sky and the earth.

Everyone bowed lightly, seeing off this old friend.

———

There was no talking all the way, everyone separated in the academy, the assistants went to enjoy the vacation, and Adam returned to the academy with Frank.

"Aren't you in a good condition now?" Adam asked strangely.

Facing Adam Frank, he had nothing to hide. He directly lifted the cloak covering his body, revealing his mechanically transformed body except for the head, and opened his mouth to make a strange voice: "Indeed, Master Jino has encountered some problems in his research. , I was going to ask you for help, but I didn't expect to hear the news of James' death."

James is dead, and the two of them will not waste time expressing their memory of him. Adam felt the weakness of Frank's flesh and blood, and said, "Lack of motivation?"

"That's right, that's the problem. The battery you made can no longer provide enough energy. Now I have to replace the battery three times a day to maintain the consumption of the most basic actions."

"What did Master Jino say?"

Frank took out a few batteries from the cloak, opened the baffle to replace them, and said, "Master Mage thought about replacing part of the energy with magic power, but it is not very compatible with this kind of mechanical body built entirely on electric energy. He heard Said that you have made new progress in your research, so you asked me to ask."

Only then did Adam know why Frank came so coincidentally. It seemed that the message was passed quickly between the mages: "This problem is not difficult to solve. You can go back and wait. I will tell you the result."

Since the two had signed a contract before, Adam did not hesitate to invest in Frank. Once Frank was really promoted to a mage with new energy, he would benefit even more than Frank himself.

———

The next two years were calm and smooth, Adam no longer accepted new assistants, and the old batch of assistants did not renew their contracts after their contracts expired. Adam became more low-key than before, and only perfected the original work in the laboratory every day. Sets of spell runes and creating new spells rarely steps out of the lab.

One day when the two-year deadline was approaching, a person he hadn't seen for a long time came to his laboratory.

"Nice to see you again, Master Victor."

It was the avatar of Master Victor who arrived. He himself was fighting on a different plane, and the connection between souls made him show his murderous aura.

He stepped forward and patted Adam on the shoulder: "Don't call me Sir, you are already a member of the Mage, from now on you just need to call me Mage Victor."

Adam is good at what he does.

"Ready? Your war trials are about to begin."

"Of course, I can't wait."
