Watching Professor Che'lin enter, I felt a sense of respect for her for sacrificing her magic for another kingdom. After greeting the class and going to the blackboard, she wrote "Barriers" with chalk.
- As you understand from the name on the board, today we will talk about different barriers. - Professor Che'lin addressed the class.
Interested in the topic of the lesson, I began to listen carefully to what Professor Che'lin was going to tell.
- There are a lot of different barriers, there are such barriers that protect the one who put it, they have a flaw, what do you think? - Professor Che'lin addressed the class.
Thinking about the possible causes of the flaw, I found only a possible reason that he will not be able to hold out for long. Professor Che'lin, who was watching the class, saw that many people were thinking about what a flaw could be, she was glad that they did not shout out options.
- As I understand it, you cannot formulate the correct answer, but it lies in the fact that such a barrier firstly cannot protect more than one goal in front of it and the most important one is quickly destroyed. - Professor Che'lin explained.
Turning to the board, she drew a shield and how different spells fly into it.
- The most popular reflection shield, who knows why it is? - Professor Che'lin asked again, turning to the class with a smile.
Looking at Professor Che'lin's class, choosing whom to ask, she stopped at the person who was sitting alone on the first desk.
- Stufon Cheif, why do you think this shield is the most popular? - Professor Che'lin asked, looking at Stufon.
Stufon to whom she addressed looked around in surprise, thinking that he had heard that she addressed him. But making sure that the professor is looking at him. Getting up and trying to come up with the right answer.
- Because this shield can reflect a spell into an opponent? - Cheif asked, he didn't want to attract stufons of this class to himself.
Unlike these children born in noble families, he grew up in villages and he was able to enroll only because everyone was accepted and he passed the tests. He doubted the half-elf Trey, but unlike him, he had disappeared magic and he was stronger than him.
- True, but this shield can also cover more than one target, but what do you think is the weak point? - Professor Che'lin asked, smiling at Stufon Cheif.
She specially chose him, unlike him and the half-elf, there were only representatives of the noble class in the class.
- A quick waste of energy? - Replied stufon Cheif the first thing that came to his mind.
Agreeing with the answer of stufon Cheif, she turned to the blackboard and drew how the shield breaks under a lot of blows. Realizing that he was not allowed to sit down yet, this means that the professor wanted to interview him.
- But the main disadvantage of these shields is that they cannot be used to protect any objects. - Professor Che'lin spoke to the class.
Listening attentively to what Professor Che'lin was saying and tried to memorize as much as possible. I didn't know how to use shields yet, but my opponents or my partners could use them and this had to be taken into account in tactics for battles and travel.
- The next barrier that we will analyze with you is a large barrier with the element of absorbing the enemy's magic by a group of magicians of three or four magicians. - Professor Che'lin said, drawing a group of magicians on the blackboard and in front of them there was a large barrier completely closing them.
Watching the drawing, I began to look for its weak points and the first thing I noticed was that the magicians were standing next to each other
- Stufon Cheif what do you think are the weaknesses of this barrier? - Professor Che'lin asked stufon.
I saw how Stufon Cheif was getting more and more nervous, he didn't want to answer because it was obvious that the rest of the class were not happy that they were asking only him.
- First of all, the fact that they stand together means that they are easy targets for the enemy, maintaining such a shield consumes a lot of mana from magicians and it is not long-term due to strength. - Stufon Cheif said thoughtfully, looking attentively at the board.
Listening to Stefan Cheif's answer, the professor smilingly confirmed his words by crossing out the magicians and the strength of the barriers.
- And one of the last barriers that you can meet is the rune barrier. But you don't think that by drawing a random symbol you will be able to use such a barrier such barriers are very difficult to create and use. First of all, creating such a barrier will require a group of magicians who will first feed the first layer of the barrier and at this time rune masters make magic runes on the ground making a second layer of protection allowing the barrier to hold on due to magic runes fed by the magic of the magicians who created the first layer. - Professor Che'lin finished explaining, depicting a picture on the board where one group supported the spell, while the other made magic runes.
Looking carefully at the barrier, I remembered a similar formation that I had seen in the Cray Empire when the magicians were training, but I did not remember what this barrier was called.
- Sit down Stufon Cheif, one hundred and fifty currency will be credited to you after the lesson. - The professor turned to Stefan Chaf, smiling.
Hearing Professor Che'lin's words, Cheif nodded and sat down. He felt a lot of stares on his back and he didn't like it.
- The main disadvantage of this barrier is that it takes a long time to prepare and a long time to create it, and at least one rune master is needed for this. - Speaking thoughtfully, Professor Che'lin circled the two components making the barrier difficult to create.
Listening to Professor Che'lin explain, I thought that is it possible that one of the similar barriers surround the capital or the castle of Avaley? If so, perhaps the rumors are true.
- And now the most common barrier is a moving barrier that is used in battles. - Professor Che'lin announced and drew three lines and then a line from the first in the extreme right line to the extreme left in the last line and vice versa.
Remembering the formation I saw in the castle, it was him, but there were mostly warriors, not magicians.
- The first and last line hold a barrier for attackers, the middle row is warriors or magicians who attack from a long distance, the main weaknesses are that if the magicians run out of mana, they are all corpses. - Professor Che'lin said in a sad voice, crossing out the figures.
It was possible to notice that while saying these words, she remembered someone, but shaking her head, she turned her gaze to the classroom.
- Remember, do not lose vigilance if you are supported by a barrier, always be prepared for the fact that it may fall. This lesson is over, everyone is free. - Professor Che'lin announced in a serious voice, wiping the board.
