Chapter 179 Before departure
Ashes College, in the first-year dormitory.
Monica was lying on the desk a little decadently at this time, her eyes were empty, and her whole person seemed to have suddenly become a lifeless puppet.
On her desk, there was a "lucky card" that represented being drawn.
"Relax, I don't think the academy needs to use this method to let us weak wizard apprentices die. This should be just a training." Sally on the side looked very calm. She was reading a book and comforting her. Looking at his friends.
"But when I think about being involved in a battle between wizards, I feel an uncontrollable nervousness." Monica said softly, her voice trembling.
"Our new batch of new blood is already pretty good. Did you know? More than half of the new blood from Ash Bone Academy will die due to various reasons within three years of entering Ash Bone Academy. Compared with them , Our level of tempering may not be worth mentioning to them at all.”
Sally didn't react much to this. After all, she had learned a lot about the dark side of the wizarding world from her grandfather before, so she seemed very calm about all this happening, and she even took the initiative to sign up. I participated in this clearing mission and prepared to use this mission to hone myself.
But her calm tone and some information she inadvertently revealed made Monica stunned.
"Was the mortality rate...so high before?" Monica murmured in a low voice.
Like Sally, she doesn't come from a family founded by wizard apprentices, so she doesn't know much about the wizarding world. During this period of study at Ashbone Academy, it seems that only "homework" can make her feel the origin of the wizarding world. The dangers of the wizarding world.
"Well, human experiments, accidents, mutual hunting..." Sally closed the book, and every word she spoke made Sally's face become paler.
"Perhaps...this is why Dean Lucian must change the rules, right?" Monica slowly sat up from her bed. She lowered her head, but her eyes regained focus. She took a deep breath. , I feel that my mood seems to have gradually calmed down.
Immediately, she smiled at her friend and said, "It's okay, I'm just greedy. I should have understood a long time ago that when I become an adult, I shouldn't believe that perfect fairy tales happen in reality. "
"Yes." Sally nodded lightly, but soon she felt her hand being gently held by Monica.
"Thank you, Sally."
…
"What are you making a noise about? Have you finished your homework? Are you ready before departure? Just make a noise!" In another small classroom, Tang En changed his usual gentle attitude and looked indifferently at several people who were smoking because of bad luck. The new wizard who has won the quota has an angry tone with a hint of hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel.
"Do you feel that this kind of life of laughing and joking in the academy is a wizard? Wizards are originally a thorny road. Without this determination, I feel that you should give up early and become a first-level wizard apprentice. After that, a second-level wizard apprentice Just stop meditating and stop thinking about progress!”
"How can there be a wizard who doesn't bleed? Do you think that someone who can perform a few witchcraft is considered a wizard? Dreaming!..." Tang En scolded, but at the same time he thought of his own experience.
At the beginning, the one who had a better relationship with him among the new blood was No. 17, but now, he is the only one who is still alive... "If you go out to fight for your own life, the situation you will encounter will definitely be worse than what the academy has arranged for you. The mission is more dangerous and complicated. Now you are shrinking, but if you encounter a real problem when you go out, do you think the other party will give you the right to choose? "
Several new wizards who were a little angry or cowering listened to Tang En's roar, and their heads hung slightly at this time, with thoughtful looks in their eyes.
"Actually, I hope that everyone in your class will take the initiative to sign up to feel the atmosphere and experience the feeling of life and death. Although this mission may be a bit dangerous, at least the danger is manageable. It can lay a pretty good foundation for your future path." Tang En stared at the new wizards with deep eyes.
"But I will not force any of you. If anyone wants to quit, I will help him apply. However, the application is also conditional, that is, you must break the spiritual sea yourself and voluntarily give up the path of wizard. The college will send you home safely. ! I swear by the will of the wizard that I will definitely ensure that he gets home safely!"
Tang En looked at these new wizards who were trembling slightly, and hummed softly, "Choose!"
Several new wizards were silent at this time.
After a long time, someone stood up, silently saluted Tang En, then turned and left.
The remaining new wizards stood up one after another after a slight silence. After saluting or apologizing to Tang En, they silently left the office and began to prepare for the upcoming battle.
…
"I hope my decision is correct." Lucian stood in the dean's office, holding the ashes scepter in his hand, silently watching the wizard apprentices who were landing on the three aerospace boats in an orderly manner.
"Teacher Lucian, arrangements have been made for the third-level wizard apprentices. They are all third-level wizard apprentices who are willing to fight for points. At the same time, the committee has also sent two members to participate in the settlement. Action." Carly reported the latest arrangements to Lucian.
"In addition, the two official wizards of Winterhold will also participate in this operation, but according to your previous thoughts, our combat power this time did not take the wizards of Winterhold into consideration..."
"I understand." Lucian nodded slightly, but his right hand involuntarily held the ash bone scepter tighter. "Get ready to go. In addition, I will leave the new batch of blood to you."
"Yes!" Carly's expression also became a little serious.
At this time, on the deck of the airship, many new bloods were being divided into wizard queues, and each team was assigned a senior second-level wizard apprentice as the leader. At critical moments, these wizard apprentice teams can form wizard battle formations to protect their own safety in emergencies as much as possible.
However, this kind of pre-battle atmosphere still makes many wizard apprentices who have never seen blood feel an unspeakable tension. They tightened their grip on the weapons or staffs in their hands. They hadn't arrived at the battlefield yet, but their spirits were already tense.
There will be another update in the afternoon
