Chapter 14: The Mages Going to César Forest

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

In César Forest, tame demonic beasts guarded the forest.

At the same time, at another location in the Sida Empire, in Sigt Magic Academy.

A month had passed.

The mage apprentices who came here from Laner Town had read all kinds of magic books after a month of standard teaching.

They had already mastered some elementary magic spells.

Of course, they were still mage apprentices before they passed the professional mage test.

Inside the school building, rows of mage apprentices were standing on their magic platforms.

If Jobs were here right now, he would be able to recognize the three young men who were currently standing in a row, excitedly casting spells. They were his childhood friends.

“Fireball!” After chanting for a while, a fireball appeared in Sekot’s hand, burning brightly and emitting light.

“Connie, what do you think of my Fireball spell? Isn’t it better than your Lightning Arrow?” While showing off the fireball in his hand, Sekot said to Connie.

Connie only smiled and chanted as a spinning water bullet condensed in his hand.

“Who told you I only know Lightning Arrow?”

“Different magic elements counter each other. If your fireball goes against my water bullet, I will win.”

Upon seeing this scene, Sekot’s face twitched. He pointed at Connie and shouted, “Hey Connie, did you secretly learn magic behind my back again?!”

Connie smiled and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Sekot was about to continue arguing, when an elderly figure walked into the classroom.

The old man was their magic teacher, Roddy.

Roddy looked at the water bullet in Connie’s hand and smiled as he clapped his hands.

“That’s right, the magic elements counter each other, well said.”

“If I remember correctly, your name is Connie, isn’t it? The books we’ve learned haven’t talked about that yet.”

“It’s good that you can study your books in advance. This is worthy of praise!”

Roddy laughed and said, “Then perhaps I can reward you with a better staff.”

The moment the term ‘staff’ came out of Roddy’s mouth, in an instant, it attracted the attention of all the mage apprentices in the class.

“Magic staff?”

“We have a chance to obtain a magic staff?”

“Teacher Roddy, is today’s class for us to choose the staff we like?”

…

Magic staff.

As a mage, a magic staff was the most important thing.

Both the casting and the enhancement of spells required a magic staff.

In the beginning, mage apprentices could only cast spells with their hands. Only by using the staff could they truly experience the feeling of being a mage.

Therefore, everyone in the classroom became excited when Roddy mentioned the magic staff, and all sorts of discussions could be heard in the classroom.

Roddy smiled and clapped his hands to silence them.

“That’s right. The purpose of today’s lesson is indeed to let each of you obtain a magic staff.”

“However, this magic staff is not chosen by you. It will be made by you.” Roddy faced the group and spoke slowly.

“Next, I’ll take you to some demonic beast forests where you can use your magic power to hunt demonic beasts.”

“At the same time, you will extract their beast cores to make your magic staff.”

“Also! This trip to the demonic beast forest will be part of your academic assessment, and there will be mage seniors going along with you.”

There was a resounding response.

“Oh my goodness!”

“Ohhhh!”

“May the Lord bless Teacher Roddy!”

When the announcement of the trip was made, all the mage apprentices cheered excitedly.

After cheering for a while, Roddy spoke, “Alright, you guys can go pack up now. We’re leaving soon.”

After a while, the mage apprentices in the classroom gathered in front of the school gate, all wearing black mage robes.

They were prepared for Roddy to lead them to the demonic beast forest.

Looking at Roddy who was standing in front of the team, looking down at the map, Sekot, who was standing at the front asked subconsciously, “Teacher Roddy, is our destination still the academy’s back mountain?”

Roddy shook his head as he explained, “We’re not heading to the back of the mountain this time, because the demonic beasts there are all used for teaching experiments, and we’ve hunted quite a few already.”

“This time, we’re going to find a wild forest. I’ll specially protect you guys while you kill demonic beasts as practice.”

After saying that, Roddy picked up the map again.

Since it was for the apprentices to practice, the demonic beast forest they chose had to have a certain number of low-level demonic beasts, and they could not have strong mid-level demonic beasts. Forests with merely one or two of such mid-level demonic beasts would be the more appropriate.

This way, there were not many places to choose on the map.

Finally, Roddy looked at the forest on the map and spoke to the group.

“After careful consideration, our destination will be the César Forest not far from Laner Town!”

“That forest is the largest one near our academy. There are at least 400 low-level demonic beasts, and of various types. It can provide beast cores of various attributes.”

“It’s perfect for you guys.”

Roddy smiled and put away the map scroll.

Although there were more than 400 to 600 low-level demonic beasts in César Forest, there were only about three mid-level demonic beasts, so he was not worried.

Although he was only a Rank Four Mage, those powerful mid-level demonic beasts usually only moved around the core area of the forest. It was impossible to encounter them in the peripheral area.

As for the 400 low-level demonic beasts, with him protecting the students, nothing would happen.

If everything went well, they would be able to harvest a large number of beast cores and return to the academy before nightfall.

After he thought of that, Roddy smiled and gave instructions to set off, leading twenty to thirty mage apprentices and more than ten mage seniors to César Forest.

They traveled for less than a day.

A lush forest filled with weed appeared before their eyes.
