Ten days later, Owl Bird Valley.
On the high boundary stone wall, a not-so-tall figure stood directly in front, overlooking a group of second-year students below.
She was wearing a short black cloak, with the collar and hem rustling violently in the wind. There were occasionally a few strands of purple in her raised black hair, and her expression was serious and solemn.
From the fluttering black cuffs, a wrist holding the small Magic Staff protruded. As the wrist was raised, a sky-covering wind brewed in the sky, and the thick heavy clouds slowly pressed down, making the students below feel invisible pressure.
Although she is petite, the sense of oppression brought by this senior is no less than that of the chief Nores they have seen before.
"Congratulations." Her gray eyes were half-closed, and her hair was swaying in the wind, covering her from time to time.
"It has passed the early adaptation stage." Her voice was cold, but it sounded clearly in the ears of every student.
"Now, you are about to start the real actual combat. Everyone must act alone and are not allowed to form teams with other students." Her words triggered a discussion among the second-year students below, and she had no intention of waiting and continued.
"Here you will learn to abandon the idea of relying on anyone, rely solely on your own skills to seek victory and survival, and bear the consequences of any choices you make."
"Thetis Academy's reputation is not a safe haven for you in the future, but an honor that needs to be proven with strength."
"There are more than ten thousand people the Alliance who are promoted to official Mage every year. Among them, less than a hundred are qualified to enter the Thetis Academy gate. If you are just satisfied that you are better than ordinary people, it will only disappoint people."
"Every official member of the Thetis Academy must have the strength to fight one against a hundred in order to stand here with a clear conscience."
"In the next month, each of you must kill 100 level 3 or above Magic Creature before you can pass the assessment. I will not give you any tips. Use every ounce of potential to find a way to achieve your goal."
"Now, let's get started." After saying that, she waved her short Magic Staff, and fierce winds suddenly gathered from all directions.
The strong air flow was like a whip, tearing the muscles of the students below, and then they were trapped in it, followed by a giant tornado about a kilometer high, upwards, and sucked into the sky.
Screams and howls resounded in the air, and many students began to resist, trying to control their bodies in the air. However, these attempts were shattered by the airflow that nearly tore their bodies, and soon the students were carried into the clouds and mist nearly 10,000 meters high by the tornado.
The cold water vapor hit with the air flow, forming frost on the face and body. Some students with insufficient strength were confused at this time, and then they were blown in all directions by the crazy air flow, turning into small invisible black dots and falling into the savage mountains below.
A few minutes later, when everyone had disappeared, the senior put down her wrist, and the windbreaker and hair that were blown by the airflow finally slowly stopped.
Professor Vekos slowly walked up the steps of the city wall, glanced at the clouds in the distant sky, and turned his eyes to the figure standing on the city wall.
"Noya, you are still so strict with these juniors." Faced with such a title, she bowed respectfully and then raised her head.
"Teacher, this is what you taught me. If we don't let them realize the cruelty of battle now, how can we correct their posture?"
"Haha, yes." Vekos sighed, came to the edge of the city wall, ran his fingers over the rough stone, and looked at the back of his palm, which was as dry as tree bark.
"My time is running out. The old guys of our generation will all face the aging caused by time, and Mage Alliance has also developed to a certain limit."
"What this kind of limit means is that the internally collapsed and corrupted part has slowly caught up with the enhanced and improved part."
"We are now stronger than at any time in history. It can be said that we are at our peak, but I am afraid that this is also a height that will be difficult to maintain in the future."
"Throughout the history of the Eighth and Ninth Era, many factions and organizations have tried to attack Si Chen's position and have made various attempts."
"Such as Twilight Death Sect of the Third Continent", Silver Radiance Church of the Fourth Continent", Moth Dream Council of the Fifth Continent", etc. Some failed in the end, and some barely succeeded."
"After the alliance agreement, Hour's position has almost never changed. All parties have silently maintained the existing order. However, if you want to break this situation, the pressure and difficulty faced are several times that of Eighth Era."
"If we cannot nominate Hour during this most advantageous period, we may no longer have such an opportunity in the future."
"While we are making progress, other factions the Alliance have not stopped. Woodland Alliance has decided to imitate our reforms and formulate a new system. Although I can foresee that they will face great internal resistance and doubts, this kind of courage is rare."
"Harp Flower Union has invited the envoys of the Second Continent and Fifth Continent to discuss the establishment of a powerful fleet spanning Cloud Sea and integrating the resources of the three continents. If they succeed, Harp Flower Union will achieve great development. Not only will its strength be enhanced, but it will also be able to mobilize forces from other continents according to the agreement. If so, even we will not be able to suppress it."
"Blood Clan of the North of the Ice Sea has also undergone many changes recently. The new Queen Blood Clan is awakening all the ancient Blood Clan. No one knows how she will wake them up. The proud ancient Blood Clan is in control, and no one can guess what she will do next. If they relax their restrictions and fully go south to develop Blood Clan descendants, we must prevent the second Blood Dynasty from rising."
"It takes nearly a hundred years of unremitting efforts to lay the foundation stones to build a tower, but it may only take one night to destroy it."
"The Alliance has spent hundreds of years of time, energy, and hard work to become strong step by step. My teachers, teachers' teachers, and myself have all devoted nearly 90% of their lives to this Great Achievement and this road. It can be said that this is everything I have and what I am proud of." He turned his head and looked at the girl not far away.
"I will not let this hard work go to waste, nor will I allow it to fall into Abyss. If war inevitably comes, I will not hesitate to invest my life to clear all obstacles for it."
"This Great Achievement is worth it.
After he finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at the student, his eyes softening again.
"You are still very young, so you don't have to be like me."
"Sometimes when I look at you, I feel very happy. I am happy that you are better than I was, and I am happy that there are still successors on this road."
"Tutor----" Noya turned his gaze and looked at the old professor with complicated eyes.
"Don't worry, I will do it well."
