"I heard someone wanted to teach me how to play dirty?"
Dekan sneered and shook his head.
"You think I didn't prepare any cards to counter mages? Feast your eyes on the power of the permission-dog that surpasses despair!"
He shouted at Flata, who was staring at him in bewilderment.
It was almost as if he were deliberately mocking Flata for being unable to speak.
The status effect Dekan had inflicted wasn't [Silence], but [Gag].
Control magic with the [Silence] effect would prevent the target from using magic, even stopping them from using magic cards.
Its duration was usually very short, and its cooldown was long.
But Dekan's [Gag] only affected the enemy's throat.
It merely interfered with their vocal cords, keeping them from speaking.
It was a poison spell.
It lasted a long time and had a short cooldown.
"※! What kind of beast made this card?!"
"Are mages supposed to be able to play like this or not?!"
At that moment, even quite a few Mage Academy students in the audience couldn't help standing up to curse the card.
Mages drew some of their combat power from the spells they had mastered, in addition to using magic cards.
If they were hit with [Gag], being a mage in battle would become the ultimate prison sentence.
They couldn't cast their own spells without the ability to cast without incantations!
Thanks to the convenience of magic cards, modern mages didn't necessarily practice casting without incantations!
Was this going to force everyone to learn how to cast without incantations?!
Even Cat Teacher couldn't help wanting to curse Dekan.
"This guy, meow! Croix! As a mage, don't you want to curse him?"
Cat Teacher looked at Croix, whose expression was perfectly calm, and asked excitedly.
Croix: "I can cast without incantations."
