Hello, Magic Academy, Goodbye, Magic Academy

Glintstone Swift Pebble is a spell that might not be very effective in PvE, but can shine in PvP.

It can be seen as a modified version of the Glintstone Pebble, with a smaller Shining Stone size. While its attack power is reduced, its casting speed is greatly increased, making it widely used to interrupt human actions.

However, interrupting actions also requires skill, which is different from in Yugi.

While people in this world can choose to ignore their injuries and rush in to heal, there are also some Warrior who become stronger the more they fight.

When facing this type of enemy, in addition to aiming at certain weak points to interrupt their actions, you can also choose to switch to heavy firepower.

Since interrupting the action is ultimately for the purpose of focusing fire on and taking down the adventurer, if you can't interrupt it, you might as well just focus fire directly!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The sound of magic cutting through the air was continuous.

Jia Paer and his group are now facing a hail of bullets!

The Glintstone Swift Pebble fell like raindrops, making the rain outside the window seem to fall for three days and three nights without stopping. The mages, as if they felt no fatigue, kept waving their magic wands and releasing a dense barrage of magic.

"What should I do?" Luo Jieer huddled behind the large pillar, not daring to move. The pillar was only enough to allow him to hide, and any slight movement could expose him to the attack range of "Raindrops".

They were attacked as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, but luckily there was a way out, and there were large pillars nearby that were good for hiding.

But this thing couldn't hold out for much longer under the attack of the Glintstone Swift Pebble; these mages were top-notch demolition experts.

"Mr. He De Si, could you use the meteorite one more time?"

He De Si shook his head. Well, the use of "Meteor" requires specific environmental conditions. The most important one is that there must be a large amount of soil nearby so that earth elements can be extracted and condensed into a meteor in the air.

The cleanliness of the floors at the Magic Academy rivals that of the BOSS room of the Aaron Knight. Even the main entrance, which is not yet inside the building, is spotless. The small amount of green lawn alone is not enough to cause a meteorite.

However, he still gave Luo Jieer a reassuring gesture, meaning that he would leave it to Roger to handle.

Oh? Let him handle it?

Jia Paer stopped his legs, which were about to rush out.

He didn't know much about this taciturn He De Si, only that the man was quite senior, but didn't hold any important position in the association, seemingly devoted to studying magic.

His research focuses more on theory than practical application, so does he have any solutions for dealing with these magicians?

Jia Paer stared at He De Si with interest, and then saw the other man begin to undress.

"Huh?" The Sword Saint rarely showed a confused expression.

Because he saw He De Si immediately take off his robe and put on the Raya Lucarian Magician that he had just picked up, and with his Shining Stone Shield, he looked exactly like the enemy magician.

He also noticed a detail: he took off his shoes and walked barefoot on the ground, because the magicians here all went barefoot.

What a dedicated cosplayer!

"Hey, you wouldn't be thinking of..." Jia Paer's lips twitched; he hadn't seen such a remarkable person in a long time.

He De Si nodded and walked out of the pillar with an air of nonchalance.

This guy actually plans to sneak in? Does he really think people are blind?

A miraculous thing happened: when he walked out of the pillar wearing this outfit, the magicians actually stopped attacking!

"Huh?" Luo Jieer's mouth dropped open.

He De Si approached step by step, and all the mages stared at the student in the "Ka Le Luo Si" classroom, making no move.

Could he have actually managed to sneak in? No way!

Jia Paer didn't know what kind of expression to make at this moment. He could imagine that if someone asked him for advice on how to use this magic and he told them about He De Si's deeds, he would definitely receive such a sigh.

"So that's how it was solved!?"

"Smack!"

A loud explosion suddenly interrupted his thoughts. He peeked out again and saw He De Si running away with his head in his hands, while the angry mages swung their spells at him one by one.

Isn't this a complete failure?!

He De Si scrambled back behind the pillar, catching his breath before scratching his head in confusion.

This guy still doesn't understand?

Jia Paer wanted to complain at this point. It would be most incomprehensible if your clumsy role-playing actually worked.

But He De Si had his reasons for doing so. After putting on the Radiant Stone Shield, he could barely see the road ahead and could only rely on the magical fluctuations emitted by other creatures to make his judgment. Therefore, he naturally assumed that other Glintstone Magic also judged friend and foe in the same way.

So he manipulated his magical energy fluctuations to make them extremely similar to those of his enemy, thinking that this should be enough to fool him.

It turned out that it worked at first, but there were more hooded magicians than just those in the group.

A hoodless magician who heard the commotion and rushed over discovered He De Si and exposed his disguise, which led to the failure of this legitimate infiltration operation.

"Avadaso—"

The hoodless mage had just raised his staff when, before he could cast a spell, he was beheaded by a sword aura so fast it was invisible, and his body fell straight down.

"It would have been better if I had gone first." Jia Paer sighed. The sword energy he unleashed after charging up was barely enough to hit the enemy. He had only wasted time to see what tricks the professors could pull off.

He was about to use a Sun Fist followed by Magic Shield to withstand the attack and charge forward, but Luo Jieer stopped him at that moment.

The latter rolled his eyes and pulled a glittering skull out of his backpack.

[The Lure Skull]!

Excellent, now we can lure the mages into Jia Paer's attack range.

The two exchanged a glance, and the Sword Saint made no attempt to hide his admiration for this junior, even forgetting about the Fire Dragon Mating Image that the other had given him.

In short, thanks to everyone's efforts, the difficulties were finally overcome.

In conclusion, individual mages are not scary, but a group of mages together is disgusting.

At first, there were indeed only ten mages guarding the gate, but there were also many wandering and hiding enemies nearby.

Once the lead mages begin their attack, the noise they make will be enough to attract these wandering creatures, drawing them into the fight against the adventurers.

Roughly speaking, there would be at least thirty enemies.

Would you consider this a monster-stacking tactic?

By the standards of the Zane Dungeon, it is indeed a group of monsters, because a maximum of ten people are allowed to explore there.

But this is the Val Dungeon. Don't be fooled by the fact that only Jia Paer and his group are challenging the academy now. More people will flood in here in the future, and the number of people challenging here at the same time will be in the hundreds. At its peak, it may even reach thousands.

Looking at it this way, these magician enemies are nothing compared to what's to come.

Therefore, the monsters and items in the Val Dungeon have their own respawn times.

"Long——"

The heavy door was slowly pushed open, and soft light shone through the cracks, gradually illuminating everyone.

When the scenery inside was fully revealed to everyone, they held their breath for a moment.

Luo Jieer paused for a moment, then took a step back to look at the exterior of the academy, then took another step forward to look at the interior, repeating this action several times before finally speaking:

"How come the inside is so big?"

The interior of the magic academy is ridiculously large.

The first thing that catches the eye is the vast hall, followed by staircases leading to the upper levels and then to a second building complex at the rear, which is no less large than this one.

The hall extends outwards to both sides, creating larger areas with more corridors, rooms, and other spaces, forming a complex internal structure.

Just standing outside and taking a look is enough to dazzle you. And this is only the first floor. Who knows what the second, third, or even higher floors will look like?

How much brainpower and effort must have taken from such a genius craftsman to build such a massive complex?

Moreover, judging from its appearance, although the magic academy is large, it shouldn't be this big as it is now; it looks like space has been folded!

It's unscientific, but magical.

It even felt like I was using my "thinking power"—"I think a magic academy should be this big, so it's this big."

Just then, a tattered page of a book slowly floated down in front of Jia Paer. He picked it up and read:

[Regarding the design proposal for the college's underground building and the application for a supervisor]

It contains scattered notes about the instructors' requests to obtain a portion of the academy's underground buildings for experiments. There's not much substance to it; it's purely for expanding the world-building.

But this also had a great impact on people, because—

"This place even has an underground area!?"

Are you kidding me? The buildings above ground are already this big, and now you want to add several underground levels? Are you designing this for The Flash?

Who in their right mind could explore this place completely in a day? They probably couldn't even clean a tenth of it in a day!

Zane Dungeon gone mad?

Large maps can inspire a desire to explore, but extremely large maps can have the opposite effect, such as suppressing the enthusiasm for exploration.

"Go, go?" This was the first time Jia Paer had shown hesitation in his voice.

Finding a portal to the outside world within this vast academy is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Even he felt mentally exhausted, and so did the others. Adventure is all about having a balance of relaxation and tension, but things were too tense right now.

Tu Erqi sighed and was about to agree when Dragon Roar suddenly came from the sky!

"What!?"

Luo Jieer took the lead and ran out. Then, he saw the Glintstone Dragon Smarag, whom he had encountered before!

The Glintstone Dragon roared in the sky, spewing Magic Breath towards the seal in front of the academy gate.

Is it attacking the seal? No, because there are also human shouts coming from there.

It is attacking humans!

The group exchanged glances (except for He De Si, who was wearing a hood). Could it be that the people being attacked were the ones throwing bones into the campfire?

Since we've encountered them here, we should get to the bottom of this and find out why they're following us and what their intentions are.

By the way, defeating the Glintstone Dragon Smarag here would be a good opportunity.

Jia Paer led everyone through the seal, and the Magic Breath blurred their vision. In the blur, a sword came slashing towards them!

He deflected the sword with a "bang," but the latter instantly changed his moves and engaged him in a fierce battle; their techniques were somewhat similar.

Seeing this, Jia Paer had his answer. As the swords clashed once more, he roared:

"Leon!"

The person on the other end was stunned, then exclaimed in surprise:

"Teacher? What are you doing here!"

As the chaos caused by the Magic Breath subsided, both sides finally saw the composition of the opposing force.

Leon and his Strategy Team were present, including Si Telan, who was drawing her bow and shooting arrows.

How did this group of people provoke the Glintstone Dragon?

Have I been complaining a little less lately?
