December, Silver Bell Festival is approaching, and the final exam of the semester is about to begin. The teachers gather together to chat about the recent situation of the new students.
"This freshmen class is very hard-working. I feel they are more enthusiastic and dedicated than the previous batches." A teacher commented.
"Probably because of Hedra."
"Because of her appearance, the freshmen were clearly divided into two groups: "Gemoxiu" and "Mirne". In the past, the chief groupings often did not have such a clear distinction."
"Students from Mirne District believe that their background and education should be the best, and it is natural for them to be ranked first. However, because of the existence of Hedra, the students from Gemoxiu District have been strengthened to a certain extent, making it difficult for them to catch up with each other in terms of grades and strength, and it is difficult to distinguish clearly."
"This gives students from Mirne District a boost, and also gives students from Gemoxiu District hope, so both sides are very motivated."
"I have to say that the professor had a great idea at the time. He directly appointed Hedra as the chief, and chose a student from Mirne District's famous family as his opponent."
"Healthy competition is good."
After talking about the results of the freshmen, the topic turned to Hedra.
"How did she manage to survive Spencer's "Black Proclamation" unscathed, and also backfire and knock out Spencer."
"I don't know, but the professor later commented that Hedra has a strong mental power and a very tenacious will. In this regard, Spencer is far behind." A teacher speculated.
"But I don't know how strong you have to be to make Spencer faint because of that collision. Maybe she also has some means of strengthening her mental will in a short period of time."
The end of the semester is approaching, and many students are preparing for exams. In order to motivate the new students, Academy generously lists the rewards. The top-ranked students will receive resources far beyond those of their peers. This is very attractive to the new students.
During lunch, the freshmen sat together and discussed this matter.
"It's so fast, this semester." Someone lamented that three months passed by in a blink of an eye.
"I wonder who will be the first in grade this time?"
"It should be Hedra, the leader, but Spencer is also very strong. The two have competed since the opening ceremony, but they have never fought each other since. I don't know if he has caught up."
"If you get first place in the final exam, you can appear on Silver Bell Festival as the freshman representative. That honor cannot be underestimated."
"Not only our school, but also many big figures from the Mage Alliance other schools will come to watch the ceremony. After all, Silver Bell Festival this festival originated from us, and it is also a grand ceremony for the Mage Alliance every year."
"Spencer will probably try his best to get this honor. The Pander Family he belongs to has great expectations for him. If he performs well, his family will also receive attention and increase their reputation in the Mage Alliance." Although Pander Family is a famous family, there is still a lot of gap compared to the real top Mage Alliance.
The students' conversation accidentally reached Spencer's ears, and his expression became even more silent during the meal.
The scene they discussed was indeed true. A few days ago, the family sent someone to tell him that they expected him to get first place and then appear as a freshman representative, and told him that if he lacked anything during this period, he could ask the family.
Who doesn't want this honor? Among the Mage Alliance's number one Academy, Spencer also longs for it. However, over the past month, he has not gained the upper hand in the competition with Hedra overtly and covertly. Instead, he has become more aware of the gap between them.
Before he met this girl, he had no doubt that he was a genius, because this self-confidence was generated through repeated competitions and comparisons with his peers. He was genuine and he was proud of it, and he developed a calm and calm attitude towards everything.
But this calmness and calmness quickly dissipated after entering Thetis Academy.
A powerful competitor that had never existed before appeared, and the opponent still defeated him with a crushing attitude.
In the past three months, he tried to be smarter, smarter and better than Hedra in various courses, but the results were not ideal.
At first, he may have some advantages because he has some knowledge of certain courses, but after a while, as the study and courses deepen, the girl will gradually surpass him in the depth of understanding and application of knowledge. However, the other party does not have much motivation to show these advantages, which will give people the illusion that there is not much difference between the two.
Just give up and just sit back and watch Hedra take first place? He still can't reconcile himself to it. This unwillingness comes from his pride and he doesn't want to admit that he is worse than others.
On the other hand, he has been the object of expectation and praise from everyone in his family since he was a child, but this time he was unable to maintain this image and showed his incompetence and vulnerability. This made it difficult for him to imagine what the consequences would be, and he almost instinctively avoided such a scenario.
Taking a deep breath, Spencer put down the tableware and looked at the table in front of him for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the girl who was sitting quietly in the corner of the restaurant in the distance, also eating.
How is the other person feeling now? Is he proud, or does he want to laugh at himself?
Sylutia is not concerned about the final exam at this moment, but is thinking about other things.
The more things she learned at the Thetis Academy, the more she felt that her grasp of many knowledge was still very shallow. For example, it was the first time for her to see many of the combat methods and abilities used by freshmen.
"Red Stone Orb" "Construct Spell" "Salt Agent Buff" "Spell Book" "Command Spell" and so on, each of these represents a system, and under each system, there are many skills and secrets.
She is not very keen on money and power, but she is very interested in these strange and new knowledge systems. It would be great if she could collect them all and learn about them.
It's a pity that her time and energy are limited, and she can't take care of so much at the moment.
It seemed she had to speed up the process. She suddenly looked at the clock hanging in the restaurant and made a decision.
This month, before Silver Bell Festival, she will advance to the third level of Mage. In this way, with the core ability of "Spell Page", she can easily use and experiment with various spells without having to cover up.
Moreover, with her progress exceeding that of her classmates, she could also use her spare time to learn other things of interest. Those knowledge that seemed obscure to others were, in her eyes, shining mines with many novel and unfamiliar gems waiting for her to dig. Every time she entered, she would always make new discoveries.
Although her mission is to improve the future situation of the Mage Alliance and avoid the outbreak of conflicts and wars, her current mission is just to study hard and accumulate strength for future activities. During this time, her desire for new knowledge also outweighs other things.
You have to ask the professor which "Core Secret Art" she chooses to advance to. The core ability of "Spell Page" will be subdivided within each school and have their own unique Core Secret Art.
For example, "Cursed Page" of "Phantom Puppet School" can use the engraved runes as a curse to engrave enemies, while "Golem Page" can easily imprint the rune veins on Golem, allowing Golem to easily obtain blessings, etc.
The advanced Core Secret Art of the "Mithril Clock" school also has different branches and tendencies.
