Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Shoooo !!! Shoooo !!! Shoooo !!! Shoooo !!!

Dozens of wind knives were being hurled toward the heads of dozens of wind golems. After cutting their heads straight without any interruption, the golems turned to wind and scattered like nothing, which remained in place after that were just white cards that were floating.

An ordinary-looking young man walked over to the white cards while carrying a black card, the white cards were absorbed and the number 30 went up to 43. The young man had a smile when he saw the number increase a little, he was Liu Yang.

The competition started a day ago, Liu Yang was pacing as he chased the wind golems to increase his points. That was just one of his goals, the second was to train his movements in real combat.

Liu Yang and Liu Xia had some real combat training sessions, but they have just created illusions, and they didn't compare to reality.

"Even after some days of walking, I still can't find any rank 2 creatures. I think it will be very difficult to find Little Xia in this place since her second element is marked as earth. The older sister has the same element as me, so it must be easy for me to reunite with her. "Liu Yang thought aloud as he walked toward the compass.

But suddenly, Liu Yang closed his eyes, he did it suddenly before opening again. He just laughed and shook his head before continuing to walk. Liu Yang received a telepathic message from Liu Xia.

Like Liu Yang's summon companion, Liu Xia can telepathically send messages to him, but they couldn't be very far from each other, the maximum distance being ten kilometers. But today, the two were farther apart than that, how did they manage to communicate? That was another secret they both had.

Liu Yang started walking through the forest while defeating the wind golems and picking up the white cards.

Defeating the creatures of rank 1 was quite easy, the competitor just had to attack the weak point and do nothing else.

…

After walking for an hour, Liu Yang heard battle sounds, walking to the spot, he saw that two people were fighting five wolves made of the wind, the movements of the wolves were fast and accurate. The wolves were ranked 2.

The two students were from different schools, but they were together to fight the five wolves, neither wanted to be eliminated and agreed to fight together. They were a boy and a girl.

Liu Yang stood aside watching while lying in a chair, it looked like he was watching a show. The two students saw this scene and were furious, they were both members of an influential clan, but now, they were being treated like clowns in a show by someone else.

But none of them had time to worry about Liu Yang, they needed to focus on the five wolves in front of them, although not doing much damage, the speed of the wolves was very high and the minor injuries they had suffered before began to accumulate and became bloody wounds. This prevented them from concentrating to cast the spells.

Although they were mages who came from powerful and influential clans, neither of them had much control in using their powers.

The wolves were attacking from all sides frantically. The pair started to get desperate, they couldn't run or cast magic. They were already surrounded and could only stand still and defend themselves using their magical defense equipment.

…

Crack… Crack… Crack…

Their defensive equipment created two barriers, but under the constant, swift attack of the five wind wolves, the two barriers began to crack and were about to break.

"What are we going to do? If the barrier breaks, we will be attacked until we are eliminated. "The girl spoke discouragingly, she never imagined she would be eliminated so quickly.

"It seems the only solution is to ask for help that boy who is watching us, it seems that he is from the East School." The boy spoke with a heavy tone, he did not imagine that in the first competition, he would have to humble himself and ask for help from an opposing school student.

"Is this our only option? Ask for help? "The girl didn't want to do that, as it was too humiliating for her to ask a student from another school for help. She had already allied with the boy, who was also from another school.

"Looks like there's no other way but we'll both be beaten and sent back to the stadium." The boy said dismally, they were very unlucky to find a group of wind wolves in rank 2.

Both youngsters were first graders, so their cultivation was at least the intermediate level, but they had no strength to fight five creatures that were at the peak of rank 2, that is, at the peak of the intermediate level.

Seeing that the situation was tense, the two clenched their teeth and looked at Liu Yang before shouting.

"Hey!!!!!!!!!! You, who are watching us !!! Can you help us? !!!! "The young man shouted toward Liu Yang, but there was no answer. When the pair looked toward where Liu Yang was sitting, they no longer saw him, Liu Yang left the scene. They were desperate.

"He's gone !!!" The girl shouted in despair. The young man said nothing, he just looked at the girl before making a bold action.

"I hope you don't trust others so easily." The young man pulled out a shining knife and attacked the young woman's shield, which shatters like a glass mirror. A brown light covered the boy's body before a hole appeared in the ground and he fell into the hole and disappeared.

Crack… Crack… Crack… Booom !!!!

The girl was desperate to see this scene, the mate she met a few minutes ago cheated on her quickly when she realized that the situation was bad.

"Looks like I'll be eliminated this time…" The young woman closed her eyes, she didn't want to see the wolf's hungry stares as they attacked her.

Sometime later…

The girl opened her eyes again, for the pain she expected to feel was not felt. What she saw shocked her, for the wolves were no longer around her, only five yellow cards.

Looking at these cards, the young woman understood that someone defeated the five wolves and left the card behind. The only person that came to mind was the young man, who was sitting in the wooden chair and watching before. Since the other young man had abandoned her.

The young woman looked at the yellow cards before taking out her black card and absorbing the five cards. The young woman had ten points, now, she had 2510, the yellow cards were worth 500 points each.

"I will thank that young man properly when the competition is over," The young woman murmured before eating some pills and getting some rest. A few minutes later she got up and started walking away, she didn't want to be in the place anymore.

A dozen meters from the place, Liu Yang was looking at the place where the girl was, with casual eyes. What he did a few moments ago was just casual, he saved the girl because he wanted to do it because it reminded her a little of Liu Xia's past.

Liu Yang wasted no time in seeing this scene, he discovered something very interesting that was not in the information he studied, it seemed that this information was deliberately hidden or was not written.

What Liu Yang discovered was that when competitors used a lot of magical energy or magical equipment that uses a lot of magical energy. More creatures appeared to the site.

When the two students were trying to cast their spells to attack the first wind wolf, they couldn't control their magical energies and used too much, so more wolves appeared.

When the two shields appear, Liu Yang saw that behind him came two wolves of the wind. Using as little magic energy as possible, Liu Yang focus in only one of the wolves, he attacked with dozens of knives made from the wind and reinforced with magic energy.

The weak point of the wolves was their back, the energy sphere was located at that location. Because of the speed of the wolves, Liu Yang had to injure himself a little to beat the first wolf before defeating the second.

Liu Yang managed to earn a thousand points practically and easily, and on top of that, he found a new way to get points. Liu Yang also sent a telepathic message to Liu Xia and talked about it.

Finishing affairs on the spot, Liu Yang continued his exploration in search of other creatures to defeat.
