Professor of Magic

Chapter 128 Lesson 9 Trap
A bolt of lightning as thick as a child's arm suddenly appeared out of thin air, and fell straight on the person who was still making a disdainful expression just now.

This flash of lightning came without warning, and it was so fast that it didn't leave him any time to react.

If it wasn't for him rushing into the wind blade and the small whirlwind just now to open the magic shield, I'm afraid he would be directly struck by this lightning, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Even so, when the bolt of lightning landed on his magic shield, it still sparked a trace of lightning, clearly showing that he couldn't absorb all the power of the lightning.

If it wasn't for him being a wind magician himself, and having also mastered thunder magic, and having a certain immunity to thunder magic, the lightning power transmitted through the magic shield alone would be enough to knock him down.

But it's not over.

Before he could react to what was going on, more lightning suddenly fell from the space above his head.

"Thorn-"

"Thorn-"

"Thorn-"

……

It wasn't until the lightning hit the magic shield that he heard a few noises that made his hair stand on end.

In addition to its great power, thunder magic also has a very big advantage, that is, it is fast.

Even faster than sound.

Because it was fast, the man had no way to find a place to hide, so he could only prop up the magic shield with all his strength to defend.

As a wind magician who has been able to master thunder magic, he certainly knows that he has just stepped into the range of the sixth-level magic of the wind system—the lightning strike.

The lightning strike has a feature that most magicians consider a disadvantage, that is, it is slow to activate.

Generally speaking, there will be a period of time between when the magician summons the thundercloud and when the thundercloud drops lightning.

Although the magician no longer needs to control the magic power to cast the spell after the spell is successfully cast, after this period of time, the lightning strike will be activated automatically.But because of this interval and the fixed range of the lightning strike, it cannot be changed once it is released, so the lightning strike is generally only used to attack targets at fixed positions, and it is difficult to use it in actual combat between two people.

But Fasno took advantage of this shortcoming and let his opponent fall into this trap.

From the moment the opponent used the tornado, he set a trap.

First, he used countless wind blades and small whirlwinds to seal off the rest of the space on the table, then rushed into the tornado, and used the tornado to accelerate himself out to attack, making the opponent think that he was going to fight recklessly.

And the opponent didn't surprise him, he chose the part with the least dense wind blade and small whirlwind to dodge.

But this area was left on purpose by him at all, and it was here that he chose the scope of the lightning strike.

As a result, the opponent was unbiased, just stepped into the range of the Lightning Falling Technique, and just in time for the Lightning Falling Technique to activate, making it impossible for him to avoid it.

The audience watching the competition below were all dumbfounded. They never expected that such a high-level competition in a mere first-year group.

Leaving aside the astonishing fact that both of them can use lightning magic, just the use of magic by the two of them has already made many people wonder whether they are still first-year students of the Magic Academy.

Besides, Fasno was able to set up such a perfect trap in this situation, which made everyone amazed.

Whether it is the use of magic, the mastery of timing, the calculation of distance, or the control of space, no matter how you look at it, this should not be the level that a first-year student should have.

genius!

Apart from these two words, the audience has no other words to describe their mood at this moment.

Although the audience had already made a judgment on the result of the game in their hearts, Fasno's opponent on the stage didn't think so.

He has been unknown in the front for so long, in order to be able to make a blockbuster.

And unexpectedly defeating the recognized genius in Fenol Academy will undoubtedly allow him to realize this dream perfectly.

Even if he falls into Fasino's trap now, he is not worried.

Although he panicked for a moment when he fell into the trap, he recovered his composure immediately.

Although the lightning strike is powerful, its duration is limited, and because of the characteristics of area magic, it appears to be insufficient for single-target attack.

In any case, Fasno was only a level 6 magician. With his magic power, it would be nice to be able to cast this lightning strike, but it was impossible for him to be powerful enough to penetrate his magic shield.

Although the battle just now was more intense, he didn't actually consume too much magic power, so now he has enough magic power to support the magic shield to resist lightning.

On the other hand, in order to set this trap, Fasno first used countless small whirlwinds of wind blades, and then rushed into the tornado with a magic shield, and finally released two lightning bolts from his palm, which consumed a lot more magic power than him.

As long as he can survive this lightning strike, when he faces Fasno again, the difference in magic power between the two due to the difference in level will be even smaller, and his hope of winning will be even greater.

Thinking of this, the confidence in his heart rose again.

But after only a moment, this confidence turned into shock.

Now that the duration of the lightning strike technique he is familiar with has passed, the lightning above his head is still falling desperately like no money, without any sign of stopping.

Fasno had already flown back, standing in front of him with a smile on his face, but he didn't intend to attack at all.

How is this going?

The opponent looked up in astonishment, and suddenly understood, his face was ashen.

He is not a level 6 magician, so he can't master the lightning strike by himself.But he also learned through early study that the range of the standard lightning spell recorded in magic books should be a circle with a diameter of about 5 meters. Beyond this range, the required magic control will be greatly increased, and it is definitely not something a level 6 magician can use. out of.And even if the range is increased, it won't be too much, and at the same time, the power won't increase.

But the book only said that the scope cannot be easily expanded, but it didn't say what would happen if the scope was reduced.

And the Thunderbolt Technique used by Fasno is precisely the Thunderbolt Technique with a reduced range.

The entire scope of the lightning strike was limited to the opponent's surroundings, never going beyond half a meter from his body.

In this way, it was tantamount to concentrating all the lightning that would fall in the original lightning strike technique, which made him feel that the lightning lasted far longer than the normal lightning strike technique.

If he could discover this from the very beginning, he would still be able to suffer two more lightning strikes, and at the same time rush out even if he collided head-on with so many small whirlwinds of wind blades outside.

But when he was hit by the first bolt of lightning, he immediately figured out that even if he forcibly suffered the lightning strike, he would not consume more mana than rushing out.

Then it is better to be still than to move, and it is better to suffer hard.

As a result, when he discovered the truth of the lightning strike now, he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.

At this moment, most of his magic power has been consumed by the previous battle and the current lightning strike. If he still rushes out like this, he will not only face the small whirlwind that remains unchanged outside, but also may not be able to maintain it well during the movement. Magic shield, struck by lightning.

No matter how you look at it, it can't be better than it is now.

As a result, he could only watch his magic shield slowly become thinner under the constant falling lightning strikes.

Although these things are more complicated to talk about, they are actually just a matter of a moment.

The audience only saw Fasno's opponent stepping into the range of the Thunderbolt Technique, and then being hit by countless bolts of lightning. After the lightning stopped falling and the thundercloud dissipated, the man had already withdrawn his magic shield, his face It was full of wry smiles.

"The students of Fenol College really live up to their reputation."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and jumped off the competition platform, and left the competition field directly.

Naturally, he had taken the initiative to admit defeat, and the referee immediately announced that Fasno had won.

After the surrounding audience was stunned for a while, they suddenly applauded together.

It was a big surprise to them that such a wonderful game actually appeared in the first grade group.

"Damn, Fasino, you're too insidious." Vince rushed up and muttered as soon as Fasno stepped off the stage.

"That's right, it's simply despicable and shameless." Larch chimed in.

"Go aside, what do you know? It's called tactics." Before Fasno could say anything, Lilita had already stared at the two of them back.

Among the students in Class 5, Grade [-], she is probably the one who likes to study tactical settings the most.In this game, Fasno can be said to have grasped the rhythm of the game from beginning to end.Although the opponent is also a genius with the strength of a level [-] magician, he was designed by Fasno from the very beginning, and every step is in his calculations. Until the final defeat, there is no way to cause any real damage to Fasno. threat.

Being able to perform so well against an opponent who is not much worse than herself, Li Lita cannot but express her admiration for Fasno's tactical ability.

"Lilita is right. Fasno's victory can be said to be a tactical victory." Lin Yuan interjected without losing the opportunity. "I believe everyone has seen the strength of the opponent. Although Fasino is indeed a head above him, if there is no such correct and excellent tactics as Fasino, even if he can win, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort. In addition, you One thing to note, that is the key point of this tactic, that is, the lightning strike. Fasno not only used the short interval from the release to the launch of the lightning strike, but also changed the lightning strike to increase the attack power against the single target , this can directly solve the opponent."

"In addition to this, there is another very important point, that is how to let the opponent automatically step into the range of the lightning strike. This point, I will let Fasno explain it to you. After all, he is the one who implements it, isn't he?"

Fasno smiled slightly, without refusing, and slowly explained how he distributed the positions of the wind blades and the small whirlwind, deliberately revealing such a seemingly inconspicuous but actually existing gap.

The other students nodded straightly.

Setting up so many traps is not just a matter of thinking, it includes many other things.Such as magic selection, position adjustment, speed control, etc...

After all, Fasno arranged it in a hurry, and there were some omissions in it, but the opponent didn't notice it during the fierce battle.

These questions were naturally raised by other students in this discussion, and then the students began to discuss this question.

Seeing that these guys seem to be preparing to start the debates that they have become accustomed to these days in this arena, and the topic is becoming more and more sinister and ruthless, Lin Yuan hurriedly stopped it.

"If there is a problem, let's talk about it when you are free at night. Laisuo's game is about to start, and you all save your strength to cheer for him." Speaking of Laisuo, Lin Yuan glanced back at him.

After Fasino's victory, he fell silent.

It seems that he was shocked by Fasino's performance.

After all, he will be Fasno's opponent in the next round.And now a level 5 magician was easily defeated in front of Fasno without holding on for a long time. Does he, a mere level 4 magician, have any hope of winning?
What's more, Fasno's strength is not only in terms of his magic power and the magic he has mastered.Through this battle, his tactical ability has also been fully demonstrated, and the possibility of defeating him through tactics is also very small.

Moreover, Fasino's psychological quality has always been very good, and he will never easily perform abnormally.

It can be said that he currently has no obvious shortcomings at all.

How can such a person defeat him?
When Laisuo was depressed, he suddenly felt someone tap his shoulder, turned his head to look over, and saw Lin Yuan's face that always had a gentle smile.

"What? Feel the pressure?" Lin Yuan asked sharply like a roundworm in Laisuo's stomach.

Laisuo nodded. In front of Mr. Lin, he didn't feel the need to hide anything.

"Remember that story I told you the day before yesterday?"

"I remember. But Mr. Lin..." Laisuo smiled wryly. "The strength between me and Fasino is really far behind. At first, I thought that if I worked harder in other areas, it would not be hopeless. But as you saw in the match just now, Fasino is really... oh ..."

Lin Yuan laughed, and patted Laisuo on the shoulder forcefully: "Actually, you don't have to care so much, do you? Everyone in this world is different, and there will be differences if there is a difference. Even if you are not Fasno now ? So what if you lose the game?"

"But... I lost the game, what am I doing here?" Laisuo asked with some difficulty.

"Even if you lose this game, it can only mean that you are not as good as Fasno now. Other than that, it doesn't mean anything." Lin Yuan replied in a very positive tone. "And when you come here, at least you have experienced and worked hard. I have always believed in one sentence, that is, the meaning of life lies in the process. In any matter, the result is important, but the process is more important. If you try your best , Even if you lose, you shouldn’t have any regrets.”

"Do your best?" Laisuo asked a little confused.

"Yes." Lin Yuan nodded vigorously. "Truly strong people should not be discouraged by failure. They only know to do their best, and it doesn't matter even if they fail. Because they are not afraid of failure and dare to fail head-on." Lin Yuan suddenly remembered that these words seemed to be in the Phenoll Academy I also told Reid during the competition. "True strong people will learn from failures and improve themselves. Temporary failures are nothing to them."

"In this kind of competition, there is only one person standing on the final podium. If you can't be the only one, then you have to be the one with a clear heart."

Laisuo thought about it for a long time, then suddenly laughed.

"Mr. Lin, it seems that you have also decided that I will lose to Fasno."

Lin Yuan was taken aback, seeing Laisuo's calm face at the moment, he also laughed: "Well, I won't lie to you, I don't like you in the match between you and Fasno."

"Everyone thinks so." Leso let out a breath, looked up at Salas above his head, narrowed his eyes and said: "Actually, I also think so. But I figured it out now. If you fail, you fail, Fa Which of the big figures in the history of Renos Continent has never failed. Even Dean Firnas was not the best when he was studying at Fenol College. But he is now a great magister , are worse than other students. Therefore, just because I am not as good as Fasino now, does not mean that I will not be as good as him in the future."

Lin Yuan laughed, and suddenly felt that it was a good thing to have Fasino, a super genius, around.Although he is a kind of pressure to other students, but from another perspective, it is also a kind of motivation.
