The Plan Succeeded
Ehre once again used 'Dugat' to control the rocks and attack Fern.
However, it was still blocked by Fern's Defensive Magic, which created distance between them.
Fern also unleashed several Ordinary Offensive Magic, which were also dodged by Ehre.
After this period of probing, Fern has figured out a way to defeat his opponent.
After dodging, Ehre hovered in the air, looking at Fern with some awkwardness.
Undoubtedly, the opponent before him was extremely efficient and skillful, like a mage who had undergone countless trials.
But the tactics were very outdated, like those used by her grandfather's generation.
Asked:
"Why only use Ordinary Offensive Magic and Defensive Magic? Are you holding back?"
Fern looked at Ehre calmly and said, "
My master said that basic magic is enough to deal with mages in this era.
"Tsk."
Ehre wanted to say something more.
Fern's attack has arrived.
Several Offensive Magic first blocked Ehre's retreat.
Ehre was forced to use Defensive Magic.
Fern's saturation attack is also ready.
Ehre rushed into the air.
Rienta named this move: 'The Never-Ending Achaean Rainstorm'.
"Although it's a bit cringey, it's surprisingly not bad."
"As long as I don't actually say it out loud..."
Inside a cave.
The Rienta squad did not have a large-scale picnic.
They only replenish their physical strength with the supplies carried in their Personal Space.
They also sensed the commotion caused by Squad Two.
Although they spotted Stille quite early on.
However, during their search for shelter, they also witnessed the situations of other groups.
I have some understanding of Stille's characteristics.
It's not that no one wants to take their Stille.
But when Rienta's 'Shadow-Driving Magic' created a longsword phantom and placed it on the necks and hearts of those people.
They readily gave up.
Ordinary Offensive Magic plus Special Effects Magic plus Defensive Magic.
This is not as simple as 1+1+1=3.
Furthermore, the longsword phantom generated by the Shadow Drive can also be enhanced with Telekinesis.
Rienta and Fern have tested it.
The longsword phantom summoned by the Shadow-Driving Magic, when the same amount of magic power is applied.
Its destructive power is only one-tenth that of Ordinary Offensive Magic.
Its defensive power is only one-twentieth of that of Defensive Magic.
But.
When combined with Projection Magic, Shadow-Driving Magic undergoes a qualitative change.
Although the defensive capabilities remained unchanged, the offensive power increased more than fivefold.
It's as if it was always meant to be this way.
Rienta, however, didn't see any problem.
After all, wouldn't it seem strange to fight without holding something in your hand?
With his current mental strength, he can simultaneously control thirty phantom swords.
Rienta subdued the group that came to steal it with just six swords.
He hadn't expected the skill levels of the mages taking the Level 1 exam to be so uneven.
They were just there to make a cameo appearance.
He even summoned a full cast of Shadow Shadow-Driving Magic.
When the phantom images of thirty longswords appeared, they immediately stunned the five people present.
This also allowed Rienta to easily control that team.
Heiterge was a warmonger and afterwards asked to see for himself.
Rienta agreed.
They found a secluded spot, and Honoroy stood guard for the two of them.
Heiterge conceded defeat when fifteen phantom swords appeared.
Rienta knew that her opponent wasn't using their full strength.
But he himself didn't have it either.
Heiterge wanted to get a feel for his competitors' level beforehand, and he shared the same idea.
Inside the cave.
After explaining the situation to his two teammates.
Rienta looked at the two of them seriously and said, "I want to help them."
Honoroy hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Heiterge beside him.
Seeing his indifferent attitude, he sighed and said, "I can help, but if things don't work out, we have to leave in time."
"That's how it should be."
Dunkel, a level two mage, and his team number thirteen were searching the forest for traces of team number two.
We had only just entered the forest.
Then they saw the corpses of the team that had just been flying in the air hanging from the tree.
Blood flowed slowly down the tree.
Dunkel glanced at it indifferently and said, "It must have been done by a monster. These people are all dead."
"Let's go."
Third-Class Mage Laufen looked at Dunkel and Richter's retreating figures and asked:
"Old man, at least put their bodies down, okay?"
Dunkel stopped and explained, "Laufen, you must have seen the monsters circling in the sky too."
"There weren't just one or two, and the corpses were enchanted; anyone who touched them would be sensed."
"Geisel, that's how they lure their prey."
Laufen remained silent for a moment, but ultimately chose to follow her teammates.
"It's incomprehensible that they would choose a place with such monsters as the testing ground. Don't they care about the lives of the examinees?"
"Is this Laufen's first time taking the First-Class Mage Exam?"
Second-level mage Richter looked at Laufen with great certainty and explained, "The reason is simple: First-Class Mages don't need someone who can die so easily."
On the other side.
Having completed their mission, Lawine and Kanne found Frieren at a pool of water.
The preliminary preparations for the plan have been completed.
"Then I'll wait here for Stille."
After saying this, Frieren completely concealed her magical power.
They sat motionless by the pool.
Lawine watched this scene with some shock.
"No way, can magic be completely suppressed?"
"Not entirely." Frieren stretched her arms and said, "You see, magic still leaks out when I move my body."
"?"
Lawine and Kanne exchanged a glance, spread their hands, gave a wry smile, and said, "We can't sense it at all."
"Let's go, Kanne, let's go get some fresh air. Don't hold me back."
"How annoying. If the barrier hadn't stopped the rain, I would have had a chance to prove myself."
Frieren sat quietly by the pool, waiting for Stille to arrive.
Until nearly evening.
A thirsty Stille found his way here.
Most of the water sources within the barrier were now imbued with magical energy.
Having no other choice, it found its way here and landed on the motionless Frieren.
Sensing the movement, Frieren's eyes flickered, and she spotted Stille on her shoulder.
He raised his finger and unleashed the 'Bird-Catching Magic'.
At such close range, Stille didn't react at all.
Frieren put Stille into the birdcage provided by the instructor.
Lawine and Kanne, who were hiding in the distance, rushed over excitedly after seeing this.
"Frieren, did it work? Now it wasn't for nothing that we became the target of everyone's criticism."
Kanne said happily, "So you passed the first test, right?"
Frieren carried the birdcage and looked towards the forest.
He said, "No, someone has already discovered us. We need to get out of here quickly."
He had just finished speaking.
Laufen of Squad Thirteen appeared before the three in a heroic entrance.
