The Truth of Magic



324 An eye for an eye
the civilian academy was not built in the style of a castle. instead, it was built with low buildings as a carrier, and there was no alchemy elevator like the floating city. The building was basically made of standard bricks and stones, and it could be seen that it had been there for a long time.

The female secretary stopped when she was about ten meters away from the class. She just raised her hand and gestured for Zhao Xu to walk over on his own.

zhao xu almost laughed out loud when he saw how she was acting as if she was facing a great enemy. she had probably been through some undeserved disaster and was traumatized by it.

This also made him look forward to the rest of the journey.

The female secretary had just explained to him that the civil service Academy would have a collective test in a week.

as a result, all the students were gathered at a fixed location this week, and the faculty members were arranged to take turns to answer questions every day.

today, zhao xu, the “homeroom teacher,” had been arranged to have a conversation with the new teacher and to ask questions about the course.

compared to the students from other classes, even if their parents were civil servants of mystra, they still had to walk with their heads down in the academy and take the exams. otherwise, if the results were too low and the final assessment score was low, it would ruin the qualification to be a public official.

For many people, the life of studying in the Civilian Academy was to fight for their own future.

however, these were all jokes to the ” law class seven “, where the second generation of law students gathered.

even if the dean had more courage, he might not have dared to give them a bad grade. they didn’t even need to come to school to have access to the public service system of mystra.

When mages could live forever, it was already destined that Mystra’s class barrier would be strict, far more than many people could imagine.

But as someone who had a vested interest in this, Zhao Xu wasn’t going to take responsibility for it and enjoy it while he despised it.

He walked through the long corridor and found that a few of the classrooms were empty. It was obvious that Class 7, which he was going to, had been specially isolated.

For some people, these ten meters were very long and would take them a lifetime to cover. But it took Zhao Xu about six seconds, which was the time it took to cover it in one round.

When he walked up to the wooden door, even though the gap between the doors was very small, Zhao Xu’s 13 points of sensory surpassed that of a normal person, so he still noticed that there was a wooden bucket on top of the solid wooden door.

Zhao Xu immediately understood what was going on.

As long as the new homeroom teacher didn’t open the door carefully, the knife would hit his head and make him wet.

&Nbsp; the way to break it was very simple. He just had to open the door and not walk in. He just had to watch Mouton free-fall in front of him.

So, Zhao Xu used his cane to poke at the wooden door that was closed.

immediately, there was a loud crash, followed by the sound of the wooden door being pushed open.

However, when the door opened, the wooden bucket did not fall down.

In a corner that Zhao Xu couldn’t see, there was a thin rope tightly holding the bottom of the bucket, stopping it from falling. The bucket flipped in the air, and all the water inside spilled out towards Zhao Xu, who was standing outside the door with his cane in his hand.

zhao xu had been prepared for this, and he immediately noticed the colorless and odorless liquid that was pouring out of the bucket.

After he guessed that it was probably water, he immediately put down the lesser Swift burst spell that he had been ready to cast at any time.

before zhao xu reached level 4, he wouldn’t be able to cast swift burst, so he could only barely use it to move around a little. he couldn’t use it to cast any spells, and his body was restricted by it.

but it was more than enough to avoid the water that had splashed out, but zhao xu had given up on it for some reason.

he only took a small step back and the water poured down like a knife and sword and landed on the cashmere coat that zhao xu had transformed into.

although he had avoided most of the water, he was still splashed by quite a bit.

zhao xu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. even though he was the one who gave up on dodging the spell, he had still been hit.

he lifted his cane and slammed it on the ground. the dull sound was heard again, and it covered the laughter that could not be held back in the classroom.

It also covered the incantation that was already soft enough and compressed to the extreme when he cast spells instantly.

even if a normal person heard this, they would think that zhao xu had just made a noise.

however, he had actually activated the scepter’s ability, which allowed his first-circle divine spell, detection trap, to be instantly cast.

as his detection range expanded to more than 15 meters, zhao xu instantly determined that there weren’t any simple traps in front of him.

if this group of apprentices with the ” mentor ” profession could ambush him with magic traps, he would accept it.

at this moment, zhao xu used his ” trap detection ” spell and slowly walked into the classroom until he reached the podium. he just looked at the students in front of him who had their heads lowered and pretended to copy down notes, but were actually secretly observing him.

Most of the students were only a few years younger than him. Even the five Warlock players were the oldest among the students present because they were of similar age to him.

“let me introduce myself. i’m here to be your tutor according to the notice of deployment.” as zhao xu spoke, he gently patted the table in front of him and said, ” but before that, i want to ask something. i just took a wooden bucket and hung it up with a rope. Is it because you’re afraid that the wooden bucket is too heavy and will hit someone?”

at this moment, a strange answer came from somewhere. ” it’s to trick people like you, who think they’re smart. ”

all the students in the class couldn’t help but laugh when they heard that.

“sigh, you’re not cute at all.” Zhao Xu shook his head and sighed.

“actually, i’ve been trying to exonerate everyone just now. i’ve been convincing myself that you guys were just playing a prank.”

Zhao Xu’s tone started to lose its warmth as he spoke. otherwise, I really can’t just pretend that this never happened.

zhao xu picked up the pen on the table and turned around to write on the white board behind him, but he realized that the ink on the ballpoint pen had already come out and was dripping down his wrist.

it was also because the pen was too small and weak that it was beyond the detection range of the trap spell, so he didn’t think it was a threat at all.

“magic trick.” when zhao xu saw this, he waved his hand, and the water that had just been splashed on him and the ink that had stained his palm instantly disappeared into thin air under the power of the spell.

“This kind of trick is really boring.” zhao xu was gently wiping his hands with a towel.

The students who had been secretly laughing when they saw Zhao Xu get hit again immediately stopped when they saw Zhao Xu’s magic.

Those who were born in mage families, even the five players, had been influenced by what they heard and saw for a long time.

Basically, everyone knew that there were two different worlds with and without spiritual spells.

if a mage who could cast spells were to be their tutor, it would not only be a waste of talent, but it would also mean that they would be closely watched.

“then why are you trying to convince yourself?” at this moment, after zhao xu showed off his magic and changed his appearance, there were sounds of people cowering.

” oh, because i swore before i came in that if i fell into any trap, i would make all of you experience it. ” zhao xu said this casually.

when the students who were initially on their guard heard this, they immediately burst out laughing. ” level one and two, where did you get these spells to splash us with water? Use an invisible servant?”

suddenly, the few students sitting next to him couldn’t help but laugh. they even patted the table excitedly, trying to cheer everyone up.

mages wouldn’t be so bored as to specially research a spell just to pour water on the other party.

when there were spells with similar effects in the later stages, they were only the additional effects of the original spell instead of the original motivation. the ring of nature spells themselves were also very high.

The homeroom teacher looked like a scholar. It wasn’t that everyone looked down on him, but if he could cast high-circle spells, he wouldn’t be here.

when zhao xu saw that everyone’s thoughts, which he had raised, had started to turn into nonchalance again, he didn’t feel annoyed at all. he just took out a blank scroll that he had used as a draft from his pile of documents.

zhao xu casually wiped the dust on his hands and the water droplets on his body onto the scroll as spellcasting material. at the same time, he pretended that he was actually using the scroll to cast a spell.

at that moment, zhao xu looked at the entire class and said in a low voice, ” “blizzard.”

Immediately, a few students who came from big families and knew all kinds of inside information shouted, ” “Are you crazy?”

However, his voice had already slowed down.

with a radius of 24 meters, it was more than enough to cover the entire classroom. an extremely turbulent icy rain fell, accompanied by snowflakes, instantly obscuring everyone’s vision.

The blurred vision made it impossible for them to escape. At the same time, the cold rain directly seeped into everyone’s body. In an instant, the temperature of the entire classroom dropped by 10 degrees.

Because of the spell’s effect, the ground was also frozen in a layer of crystal clear frost. If one was not careful, they would fall.

Zhao Xu could have cast this spell for seven rounds, which would have been enough to make everyone catch a cold, but he didn’t do that.

After simply teaching the students in the classroom two rounds of lessons, he stopped the spell.

most of the students in the classroom couldn’t react in time, so they were all drenched. they looked at zhao xu with embarrassed and angry expressions.

without a doubt, their clothes and most of their things were all wet from the spell.

” what a madman. he used a scroll worth three to four hundred gold coins just to satisfy his cravings. ” The student who had just complained about Zhao Xu frowned.

Even if it was them, they wouldn’t use a level 3 magic scroll to take revenge. That was too extravagant, and no one could afford it.

however, zhao xu did gently wave the ink-filled pen in his hand. his meaning was obvious-he wasn’t done with his repayment yet.

They had been tortured by the extremely fierce icy rain for more than ten seconds just by letting Zhao Xu pour some ink into the water. How could they still be alive if Zhao Xu got ink on his hands?

For a moment, the hearts of the few students who had led the setup earlier were like dead ashes, and the other players who had fanned the flames were also guessing whether they should go offline and seize the time to escape.

“I did it. I was wrong.” A student immediately admitted his mistake.
