--AM; Thetis Academy Mission Hall--
"Mr. Westmin, good morning."
Not long after the store opened in the morning, the lady at the counter saw an acquaintance walking over. The person was wearing a large black trench coat and a wide-brimmed hat. He had a long sword with a silver brand on his waist. However, judging from the wear and scratches on the sword's body, it must have been used for a long time.
"Good morning." He doesn't look old, but his face is full of traces of the past, as if wind and frost have left ravines and scratches on his face.
After arriving here, he glanced at the task notice board above and then asked.
"Is there anyone taking over the crafting of the blade I ordered before?"
"Wait a moment, let me check it for you." After saying that, the counter lady turned over the booklet in her hand.
[Task; Evil-Breaking Silver Blade creation]; It is necessary to create the Mithril blade according to a special secret method, and inscribe the five enchantments "Magic-Breaking; Non-Healing; Blood; Sharpness; High Speed" during the creation, and achieve excellent quality.
"Sorry, no one has taken up this task."
In response, the man's expression remained unchanged, but his voice was slightly hoarse.
"In that case, let me add some more reward." After saying that, he took out a piece of bright silver metal from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"This is a piece of Mithril, about 12 grams. If anyone can help me complete it, I will give it to him."
"This? Okay, I understand." The lady at the counter immediately took out a new form to fill in, and then carefully placed the piece of Mithril into the box and sealed it.
After it was over, he turned around and left, with a faint smell of frost still lingering in the air.
"Is it so extravagant to use Mithril as payment?" A staff member passed by and talked quietly.
"Maybe he wants it very urgently. Mr. Westmin has set very high requirements, which ordinary students cannot meet." The lady at the counter shook her head.
"If it is the masters of the Academy, they can definitely make it, but they have their own experiments and research to do, and they are not short of the remuneration, so it is difficult to recruit them."
"Mithril itself is a fourth-level material. The general third-level Mage has just been exposed to enchantment and can't perform well with this material. Even the fourth-level Mage needs to be specialized in the field of enchantment. However, those people are often the treasures of various workshops, or they have their own workshops, and generally have no time to continue external tasks."
"Then why don't you find a suitable workshop to build it?" the person next to you asked.
"I don't know, maybe there is no suitable one. Workshops usually specialize in making a certain series of products, which allows for high proficiency and fast efficiency. But for this list, he has to study the combination of runes from scratch and conceive the arrangement cycle. He probably has to waste some materials and practice before he can finally complete it."
"Spending this kind of time and energy is enough to complete four or five orders of the same level, so why bother?"
"Although the reward he gives is three times that of creatures of the same level, few people are still willing to try it."
"I heard that Mr. Westmin has been at the "fourth level" for a long time. He has been fighting evil creatures at World of Shadows all year round. His advanced trial has been completed long ago. He just needs a suitable weapon to complete the advanced ceremony."
"Let's wait and see. Maybe some senior students will try to take over this task."
In the afternoon, Sylutia finished class and was about to leave the classroom, but Spencer led a group of people and stopped outside the classroom door.
"What's the matter?"
Sylutia stopped, and soon the students in her group gathered behind her and confronted each other with the people led by Spencer.
"Hedra, Silver Bell Festival are almost here." Spencer is wearing a black school uniform and windbreaker with a blue Gentian Flower stuck in his collar. He looks quite handsome.
"Every year Silver Bell Festival, the chiefs of each grade will attend an exhibition match together. Have you ever thought about how to fight in the exhibition match?" As he spoke, he touched the blue Gentian Flower of his collar with his hand.
"Probably it will be enchantment." She has been more interested in this recently and has studied it a lot.
"Since you are prepared, that's good, but even in an exhibition match, the winner usually has to be decided. In order to avoid embarrassing surprises on important occasions, we'd better decide who wins and who loses first." He said in a gentle voice.
"Oh, you want to compete today and decide the winner, right?" Sylutia quickly guessed what the other party meant.
"That's right, it's today." Because if it continues any longer, it will be the final exam, and Spencer has no confidence that he can beat this girl in terms of exam results, so he can only look for opportunities to make a decision first.
"I understand, then let's go to the battlefield." Sylutia didn't hesitate and led the students beside him straight to the direction of the battlefield.
Seeing her decision, a girl followed anxiously and whispered a reminder in her ear.
"Chief Hedra, something is very wrong. Spencer came to challenge you today. He must have made all kinds of preparations. But you are rushing to accept the challenge now, and you are at a huge disadvantage."
"I know, thank you Perin."
Of course Sylutia could guess that Spencer suddenly asked for a duel today, so she must be well prepared, but so what, she also has many trump cards and strength that she has never shown.
Besides, even if she loses, it's not a big deal. She doesn't care about the outcome of this kind of exhibition match on Silver Bell Festival.
It is estimated that in the eyes of those big shots, the first-year students' exhibition games are just like children's playing house, which is just to encourage young people and give them a few words of praise and care.
And she is busy with advanced matters now. She doesn't want to be approached by Spencer several times because of such trivial matters, so she plans to solve it quickly.
After arriving at the battlefield, under the gaze of the freshmen, the two walked into the field and stood still soon.
The teacher who was stationed at the battlefield came over, looked at the two of them briefly and then announced the start.
"Hedra, I will fight with all my strength this time, I hope you don't mind." At this time, Spencer still reminded him with grace.
"I know, let's get started." Sylutia thought for a while and spread his hands lightly.
Since the other party said she would try her best, she should be more serious. It just so happened that she had learned a lot in the past three months, but she had never really tested it in actual combat.
[Enchantment; Mercury Phantom Wings](Mercury; Feather Wing; Wind Speed; Sharp Feather; Weaving)
A pair of silver wings stretched out behind the girl, and then the wings opened, and Mercury colored patterns expanded and covered them like vines, making it extremely beautiful.
Then Sylutia's body shape slightly Levitation, then he tapped his toes, and his body shot straight up.
At this time, Spencer had just taken out a medicine bottle and opened it. The dark blue medicine in it formed the shape of a gyro flywheel in the air.
[Construct Spell; Whistling Wind Wheel]; The flywheel that absorbs and ejects air blades will continue to accelerate during flight, and the Rotation flying blades formed around it will cause damage to the enemy.
A few seconds later, the flywheel absorbed the potion, and with the blessing of its power, the power and quality of the spell that had just reached the third-level level were successively increased by several levels, reaching the level of a general third-level Mage that can be used with full strength.
With a whooshing sound, it rushed out from in front of Spencer and caught up with the girl in the sky.
Just when many students thought it was over, Spencer took off Gentian Flower's collar again, then broke a potion and began to mutter something.
"This is a curse spell, and it is also blessed with potion enchantment. I'm afraid even the third-level Mage can't handle it."
"It seems that he spent a lot of money this time. These two bottles of high-quality potions alone may cost 200 gold coins in total."
In the sky, Sylutia was quietly Levitation looking at the whistling flywheel flying below. He raised his wrist, and a Sharpness gorgeous silver sword took shape. Then with the help of the wings on his back, he swiped lightly and cut it in half.
Seeing how easy it was to cut off, Sylutia blinked.
It didn't seem to be very powerful. She thought it wouldn't be that easy to handle with the help of medicine.
After that, she continued to wait for Spencer below to cast a spell, until the other party completed the curse spell, and the illusion of Gentian Flower struck again. At this time, Sylutia folded its wings, letting these cursed illusions be engraved on the wings, emitting a faint green smoke.
Then she opened her wings again, and as streaks of bright silver light passed by, the curse on them dissipated in a short time.
This curse is still too simple. Sylutia thought about it, probably because curse spells often require a "catalyst" to be cast, otherwise it will be easy to be blocked or avoided by others.
Seeing that his two trump cards were ineffective, Spencer felt anxious. Finally he gritted his teeth and took out a white chess piece from his arms, holding it in his hand, and then a white magic circle formed in front of him.
This is? Sylutia's eyes flashed with light as he analyzed the array and chess pieces below.
[White Stone Chess Piece(Knight)] (Level 3; Castle), condenses the chess pieces of Castle Aspect, which can be used for canonization and advancement.
Then Spencer put the chess piece into the magic circle, and then recited a curse. Soon, a projection of Knight wearing full body armor slowly appeared in the magic circle.
[Heroic Spirit Knight] (Level 3; Castle), the Knight projection summoned with the help of rituals, is often the Echo aftertaste left by historical figures in this world, and requires corresponding relics or contracts before it can be summoned.
When the name Knight appeared, its figure gradually became clearer, and the aura exuding from its body became stronger and stronger.
[Heroic Spirit Knight; Nilko] (Level 3; Castle), Champion Knight who was loyal to the Pander Family, was buried in In the cemetery of the Pander Family, its Heroic Spirit ascended to Heavenly Courtyard to rest in peace. If someone with the blood of the Pander Family summons it, the projection can be lowered with the help of a ceremony.
According to the rules of Heroic Spirit summoning, incomplete summons will have a projection reduced by three levels, and a complete summons will have a projection reduced by two levels. From this point of view, this Heroic Spirit Knight should have had the strength of Sixth Order during his lifetime, as Sylutia estimated in his mind.
Sixth Order's creature... She once again recalled the scene where the Woodland fought against that terrifying Black Serpent.
If the real body comes, she will probably worry that she can't beat it, but if it is a third-level projection, even if she can't use her complete abilities now, it won't be difficult to deal with it, even if the opponent's strength is already top-notch in the third level.
After Heroic Spirit Knight appeared, the spirit white horse it drove rushed into the sky. At this time, Sylutia stretched its wings and flexibly spiraled into a dive, easily avoiding the opponent's attack.
Well, although Heroic Spirit can fly, after all, Knight was originally meant to fight on land, so don't expect it to be very powerful in air combat.
Unless the opponent is riding a flying Magic Creature like Griffin.
If Sylutia swooped down at this time, she could easily kill Spencer with one sword, but she did not do so at this moment. Instead, she honestly held the silver sword with dense patterns and fought with this Heroic Spirit Knight.
With the powerful Impact force brought by the dive of her wings, her sword slashes were extremely powerful. Even Knight, who was good at strength and defense, could not gain the upper hand in the fight.
So two figures, one silver and one white, intertwined back and forth in the sky. The white one was slower, while the silver figure shuttled back and forth nimbly, not falling behind in the collision of the interlaced sword blades.
As the number of fights increased, Sylutia gradually became familiar with the opponent's swordsmanship and became more flexible and light in dealing with it.
After all, it was the projection of the dead Heroic Spirit. He was not very intelligent and could not adapt to difficult situations. After many fights, Sylutia found a flaw in his opponent's attack. He easily swung his sword and cut off the Heroic Spirit's head. Then the sword turned around and Penetration his body from behind.
With a bang, the body of Heroic Spirit turned into fragments of light and dissipated, while the girl in the sky slowly descended with her wings, her figure bathed in the debris of light, just like Angel who came to the world in ancient times.
This scene stunned many students present. On the eve of the competition, they had guessed that Sylutia would win, but they did not expect that it would be such a complete crushing victory. Even though Spencer had used 200% of its methods, it still failed to gain any advantage.
With his toes on the ground, Sylutia looked at the stunned Spencer opposite him, and then asked.
"In this case, I should be considered the winner."
