"Next, William Bennings!" This time, the black-robed wizard Professor Ivan called out William's name.
At this time, the many freshmen who were originally discussing the green-haired girl's fighting ability in the audience gradually calmed down and began to pay attention to the arena.
William looked calm, dressed in tight black leather armor, carrying two swords on his back, and walked onto the ring with light steps.
Before this, apprentices with the strength of formal knights, including Andrea and Davos, were all wearing full body knight armor.
Theoretically speaking, heavy knight armor is the best equipment to deal with archers!
But since William dared to wear light armor, he must have something to rely on!
Immediately, Richard's face darkened and he focused his attention.
Because in the first round, the freshmen's opponent was just a skeleton warrior.
This allowed some of the best freshmen to defeat their opponents in just a few moves, and their relative strengths were completely unknown.
This time, things are different after the opponents are changed to a trio of undead. The difficulty increases sharply, causing almost every freshman to reveal some of their own information to a greater or lesser extent.
"Begin!" As soon as the black-robed wizard finished speaking, William rushed straight towards the undead trio like a gust of wind!
Richard's pupils shrank, and he thought to himself, "What a fast speed!"
William's charge was at least twice as fast as that of Davos, who was fully armored!
A figure rushed towards the skeleton archers, so fast that it almost left an afterimage. Although the skeleton warriors and skeleton guards tried their best to block them, they were easily parried or dodged by William.
After a clever turn, William came to the flank of the skeleton archer and pierced the soul fire in his eye socket with the steel sword in his right hand. The skeleton archer was not stupid and quickly stepped back to avoid it.
But when the skeleton archer began to dodge backwards, William pulled out a silver rapier with his left hand, as fast as thunder and lightning, and pierced the skeleton archer's head with one strike!
At this time, the skeleton archer realized that it was William's other sword that killed it!
The green soul fire in the skeleton archer's eye sockets gradually extinguished, and the entire skeleton was scattered all over the ground and gradually dissipated. It seemed that it had returned to the world of the dead!
The rest of the battle became garbage time!
In a short while, the skeleton warriors and skeleton guards were all easily dealt with by William.
"William Bennings, passed!" Professor Ivan glanced at William, seemingly thinking about something.
"Wow! William, who has been reserved the top spot, really deserves to be the one! He dispatched the troublesome undead trio as easily as chopping melons and vegetables!" A freshman seemed to be a die-hard fan of William, and he began to reserve the top spot for William.
"She is amazing, but it is not certain that she can definitely take the top spot! I think the green-haired girl Ophelia just now is not inferior to William." Another boy argued, saying that the green-haired girl is beautiful and powerful, and it is easy for her to win the favor of the opposite sex of this age group.
"I also think William has the best chance, but Ophelia is also very strong! From the current perspective, the strongest ones should be William and the green-haired girl, and Andrea, Davos and Richard!" A boy analyzed clearly.
"Although Richard's archery skills are very powerful, he can be easily targeted. As long as the opponent is wearing heavy knight armor, his archery skills will be useless!
So I think Richard is still not as good as Andrea and Davos.
As for Richard, he would probably be ranked fifth at most!" said a chubby boy seriously.
"."
After the second round of assessment, the black-robed wizard Professor Ivan announced on the spot that there were a total of thirty-one freshmen qualified to participate in the qualifying round, which would begin tomorrow.
The qualifying round will still adopt the knockout system, with two teams competing after the draw!
If you lose, you will be disqualified, and if you win, you will advance, until the top four are decided, and then the round-robin system will be adopted.
No potions, witchcraft props, alchemical products, or contracted creatures may be used during the competition.
After returning to the dormitory, Richard began to think about today's battle experience and what he saw and heard!
Richard looked through his battle magic list:
Rodrigo Meditation (Mastery 11%, Special Effect: Primary Energy Saving Casting, Secret Technique: Secondary Mental Shock)
Shadow Grasp (34% mastery)
Dark Element Shield (Adept 28%)
Bone Armor (Adept 47%)
Slowness (Mastery 9%)
Manipulate Skeletons (Skilled 16%)
Weakness (24% for beginners)
Spiritual Guidance (Entry 33%)
That's right, the last two new level zero witchcrafts were both learned by Richard in the past month or so.
Although he already had experience in many other witchcrafts, without the use of the inspiration panel, he could only master these two level 0 witchcrafts in more than a month.
Now Richard looked at the remaining 3200 energy points. Considering that William and the green-haired girl were quite strong, it could even be said to be a bit tricky! Therefore, he planned to improve it again, as an extra chip for tomorrow's qualifying match!
At present, Richard's mental power was only 8.9. In addition to forcibly retaining about 1 point of basic mental power to prevent himself from fainting, Richard could still freely use 7.9 standard units of mental power.
In terms of combinations, Richard can cast three zero-level witchcrafts relatively easily. For example, in a battle he can choose the following witchcraft combination: Dark Elemental Shield + Slowness + Shadow Grasp.
Without considering the additional mental power consumed by the changes in witchcraft, it roughly requires 3+2+3, a total of about 8 points of mental power. But don't forget that Richard has the optimization effect of primary energy-saving casting, so only 7.2 standard units of mental power are needed to complete the above three zero-level witchcraft releases.
If you use the witchcraft combination of Dark Element Shield + Slowness + Weakness in battle, it will be even easier. It only consumes 3+2+2, a total of 7 points of mental power. After optimization, it only consumes 6.3 standard units of mental power.
However, in this case, he still has 7.9-6.3 of mental power left, which means he still has 1.6 standard units of mental power left, and his combat power has not been maximized.
Richard looked at the newly learned spiritual guidance technique (entry level 33%) again. This is an auxiliary level 0 witchcraft.
[Spiritual Guidance: Provides spiritual guidance to the witchcraft performed by the caster. The spiritual power consumed and the degree of change are proportional to the distance.]
Even though this is only an auxiliary level 0 witchcraft, almost every wizard apprentice will gradually learn this witchcraft. Although it consumes more mental energy, it ensures the hit rate of the witchcraft.
However, the hit rate of witchcraft without the guidance of mental power will be significantly reduced when encountering enemies that dodge or move extremely fast, so generally after reaching the second level of wizard apprenticeship, apprentices will begin to learn this auxiliary witchcraft.
A first-level wizard apprentice may not necessarily learn this kind of witchcraft, because the total amount of mental power at the first level is limited, and he has just been exposed to witchcraft and the concept of witchcraft hits is not so clear yet.
If Richard hadn't spent a lot of magic stones and points on multiple paid courses, he would have had to wait until he became a second-level wizard apprentice before he understood and took the initiative to learn this witchcraft!
Richard thought about it and decided to improve his level of control over mental guidance and weakness techniques first. After all, the three levels of entry, superficial and skilled consume fewer energy points and the improvement is large, so they are the most cost-effective.
[It is discovered that the host is practicing the zero-level witchcraft spirit guidance technique. The spirit guidance technique is an auxiliary witchcraft. It is recommended that the host practice it together with other witchcraft. ]
Huh! Richard was greatly surprised, but after thinking carefully, it was also true that he could only conduct mental guidance after releasing an offensive witchcraft.
So, he silently recited the weakness technique in his heart.
[I discovered that the host is practicing the zero-level witchcraft Weakness and Spiritual Guidance. Do you want to consume energy to gain inspiration for practicing the above two witchcrafts? ]
Richard thought about it, dragged the slider to 1200 points, and directly selected "Yes!"
