Chapter 299: Chapter 297: The Principal Is Tempting Fate Again
In the blink of an eye, June arrived.
The selection for the Mage League was in full swing worldwide, becoming the hottest topic recently.
Someone said that an Elf from the Elf Race received a God’s blessing, shining brightly in the individual competition.
Others mentioned that a strong team named "Food Chain" from the Beastman Federation was eyeing the team championship.
And various teams and individuals who participated in past competitions without ranking, are reappearing now.
All this news spreads quickly across the Starfall Continent through the Star Spirit Network.
In these lively circumstances, the Divine Magic Academy gradually finished its selection tournament, picking out two teams and ten individual competitors, securing the July competition slots.
Including Hilia and others, a total of 25 people.
However, accompanied by mentors and students watching the competition, the number is estimated to be thirty or forty when setting out.
With increasingly longer and stricter training, Hilia has no time to worry about other things, fully immersing herself in training.
Apart from training in Magic and combination skills of combat techniques, Meditation and Medicated Baths were not neglected.
As Gold Coins rapidly disappeared, the girl’s smiles became fewer.
In her spare moments, she has only one thought—
"So many Gold Coins just for the competition, is it worth it?"
Rose’s response was:
"Even if you don’t compete, this money would still be spent. Now, with the school’s assistance, you spend it slower, so you’re actually gaining." freewebnøvel.com
Apart from refining Magic Power which requires spending money, Hilia rarely spends money in other areas as it’s the school’s Gold Coins that are spent, such as the Magic training field they later moved to, where there is a Meditation Array for practicing supportive spells.
Under Rose’s operation, apart from Hilia, the other girls received "Revelation" after Hilia gave them her Magic, with Rose using Hilia as a medium to directly instill relevant Magic knowledge, helping them quickly get started.
The strength of the Holy Maiden Squad is rapidly increasing.
Today, after finishing the combat technique class in school, Hilia gathered others according to Rose’s instructions, saying, "Have you all learned the Magic I gave you?"
Everyone nodded.
Benovia smiled, "The Magic Hilia gave is really powerful. I learned it in the shortest time. Looking at Hilia now, she’ll finally tell us why she made us learn this Magic, right?"
Hilia nodded, "Yes, the Magic I gave is actually a branch of a combination skill, called Super... Combination Skill One. This combination skill is different from the Arbitration Combat Technique; it requires magic fusion... Phil, how’s your Elemental Harmony practice going?"
Phil said awkwardly, "A bit lacking... just barely mastered."
Hilia was stunned, mastering so quickly?
Rose laughed in her mind, "She’s more than mastered; she’s being modest. In fact, she’s just a spark away from reaching the level of proficiency."
Hilia widened her eyes, "Is her talent really that good?"
"She’s pure Holy support, with a buff that accelerates learning support skills, it’s normal, just like you’ve mastered the Ice Rain Skill."
She’s proficient...
"How about Holy Strengthening?" Hilia asked again.
"Sorry, Holy Strengthening was a bit neglected in practice, just barely proficient."
Hilia nodded, almost mastering it.
"Based on the characteristics of this combination skill, I’ll arrange the next practice plan. First, try to fuse Benovia’s Space Element Magic ’Alternate Space Warhammer Cannon’ with Encore’s ’Rapid Cooling’; my ’Ice Rain Skill’ with Doris’ ’Fire of the Singularity’; Phil under ’Holy Link’ will conduct ’Elemental Harmony’ for us to eliminate the repelling reactions between Magics..."
Doris’s eyes shone, intently looking at Hilia, "What should I do?"
"Embed your ’Fire of the Singularity’ into my ’Ice Rain Skill,’ forming a miniature ice and fire reaction furnace." Hilia said.
"Alright! Let’s do it!"
"..."
Blake and several mentors routinely entered the Magic training field to observe Hilia and the others’ training progress.
The girls are highly talented; most times, they don’t need detailed explanation, grasping things instantly, which is quite easeful as though they were enlightened by Gods.
To avoid going down the wrong path, Blake still cares, more so than the champions from numerous teams in the selection tournament.
But today, entering the training field, they saw the girls weren’t practicing the Arbitration Combat Technique but other Magic skills.
Most importantly, he couldn’t quite understand what they were doing. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
He saw Hilia casting the Ice Rain Skill, each drop of ice rain being a cone-shaped icicle, fiercely hitting the training dummy like a hail storm.
While Doris was on the side, manipulating a large number of sparks, trying to collide with the ice rain; most sparks exploded upon contact, with a few miraculously entering the ice rain but soon exploded alongside it.
Meanwhile, Benovia wielded a massive, seemingly half-transparent hammer appearing from Subspace?
Beside her, Encore was releasing Water Element Magic, soaking the hammer with water.
Phil was on the side, seemingly using some peculiar Holy type Magic.
Blake and other mentors exchanged confused glances.
Aside from Phil’s ’Elemental Harmony,’ they recognized the other Magics.
But though they recognized them, they still couldn’t figure out what they were doing.
Hilia noticed the principal and mentors arriving, stopping the Magic fusion practice, and respectfully greeted them, "Good day, Principal, and mentors."
Blake asked curiously, "What are you doing? Combat training?"
Hilia shook her head, "No, we are practicing new combination skills."
Blake slightly hesitated, "New combination skills? You doubt the school’s Arbitration Combat Technique?"
He laughed heartily, confidently saying, "The Arbitration Combat Technique is a combat technique tested by the Divine Magic Academy for a century, always reaching the top three. With your talent, the first place is guaranteed."
The girls looked at each other.
Had he not said that, it might have been better; now they feel less confident.
Hilia internally grumbled:
Tested for a century? Isn’t that an antique?
What? Super Invincible I Love You is a thousand years old?
That’s God-certified. That’s a peak combination skill; how can it be the same?
"But practicing multiple strategies is also good, treat the Arbitration Combat Technique as a trump card, use it after reaching the top sixteen."
Hilia silently nodded.
Just saying yes for now was fine.
How to use it later really depends on their own execution?
Time flew during the training, and quickly the day to set off for the Northern Alliance arrived; all participants, logistical staff, mentors, and some students who paid to accompany and watch the competition were gathered to prepare for departure!
