my age of magic

Chapter 258 58. The Beginning of the Party

The auditorium of the college is a round arched building that can accommodate 5000 people. From a bird's-eye view, it looks like a huge shell.

This is just a simple evening party for the new students to start school. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, thousands of students gathered in the square at the entrance of the auditorium alone. The magic apprentices wearing mage robes only occupied a corner of the square. Most of them were students from the Warrior Academy, and there was already a long queue at the gate of the auditorium.

At this time, the students who are spectators have already started to enter the venue ahead of time. I am not sure that this auditorium can accommodate all the students in the square.A circle of terrazzo steps was built around the auditorium of the college. Today, there are still crowds of people in twos and threes surrounding the auditorium on the steps, which is a very lively scene.

What makes me feel very helpless is that Ya and Sophie are both teachers in the college. Although they are the lowest teaching assistants, they still enjoy the treatment of teachers, that is, they have their own designated seats in the teacher viewing area, and There is a dedicated channel for teachers to enter directly.So the two of them don't have to wait in long lines like me.

Seeing Ya smiling and waving goodbye to me, the sunlight has already stretched my shadow very long, and I stood outside the long queue, feeling a little at a loss for a while.I considered whether to go to the tail of the long dragon a hundred meters away, obediently waiting for the moment that belonged to me to slowly come, a big hand slanted down to wrap my shoulders around, press on my shoulders, let I felt like there was a hill on my back.

"Hey, Jijia, I saw you standing in this square like a silly goose from a distance, are you waiting for someone?" The fat man said loudly to me behind me.

I got out of the fat man's arms, then stood in front of the fat man and looked at the long dragon in front of me and said, "Actually, I have been looking for the tail of the team, and I want to enter the venue to watch those performances!".

I don't know why, but the fat man's large gray magic robe is always greasy by him, but he doesn't care at all. He squints his eyes and sees that the dragon is getting longer and longer, and blinks his fat face like black beans His small eyes said: "If you queue up at the back, when you enter the arena, you can only sit in the last row at most. Maybe all the seats are full of people, and the people behind can only stand in the aisle. But! You You are already a member of our water polo team, as the captain, I will naturally take care of you!"

He's been busy building his water polo team lately, and in the mornings he's jamming me on the bench.

He and I met at the Magic Awakening Ceremony. At that time, we were just two ordinary kids who only passed the five-level test. At that time, the mean academy only provided us with a pitifully small lunch, ( I later learned that the academy is for our own good. Before gathering mana, it is really not advisable to overeat and be too greasy.) But unexpectedly, this guy actually took out a fat and tender chicken leg. When he was about to eat , Seeing me looking at him in surprise, I didn't expect that he, who was so addicted to food, would hand the chicken leg to me with a reluctant face, and asked me: Do you want to try it.

Fatty and I didn’t have much communication when we first met. I didn’t expect that when I saw him again, he was already a magic apprentice, wearing a gray magic robe and standing in front of the teaching building of the Magic Academy, far away. Looking up at the five oil paintings hanging on the wall, his chubby belly is really funny, but his serious expression really makes me feel that his heart is much more delicate than his appearance. I think there is also a very lofty ideal hidden in his heart.

The fat man's name is Bobby, and he is an earth affinity magician who owns it.At this time, he put his arms around my shoulders with one hand, and led me through the crowd in a clumsy manner, and dragged me into the long queue. There are more than a dozen freshmen from the Academy of Magic. We usually have big classes together. I can probably call their names, but I haven't talked to them.It seems that the fat man was already lining up here, but when he saw me at a loss in the square, he ran out and pulled me back.He led me into the standing line and put me in front of him.

Although some people saw me jumping in line, the people around me didn't complain, and these people are all magic apprentices. Although they are freshmen, they don't have much magic power, but all the magic robes can still make those dissatisfied students shut up stop.

Fatty Bobby said to them affectionately: "It's not that I'm bragging to you, Ji Jia and I knew each other before we awakened the magic pool..."

It has to be said that Fatty Bobby has an unparalleled affinity, and just a few simple words from that big mouth opened up everyone's topic.The reason why I am a little unfamiliar with these people is mainly because I hardly practice meditation and spend all my spare time in the library. Among the freshmen of this group of magic apprentices, only two people do this, that is Yingli and I.So the two of us have become outliers among the freshmen of magic apprentices, and we seldom communicate with each other.

With the bridge of Fatty Bobby, I slowly got in touch with these new magic apprentices. They found that I was not a withdrawn person, so everyone gradually began to accept me.

"Jia, why don't you hurry up and meditate? We don't have any credits for magic apprentices who haven't reached the breakthrough level this semester." The short man in front of me asked me this way, his face was slightly freckled, But he spoke very shyly, and I could hear a kind reminder from his words. If you can't get credits, the college's make-up examination system is very strict.

"Oh, actually, I've been looking for a balance these days, that is, to find a point where there is a balance between casting spells and recovering mana...,... so that when practicing magic, I can get twice the result with half the effort. They are all looking up some materials in the library, which is actually for this purpose!" I explained.

I'm really thinking about this, I think if I can drain the mana in the magic pool very quickly, and then recover the mana with meditation like them, my advantage lies in the speed at which the mana can be recovered at least Twice as fast as them, or more, only with this repeated practice, my magic pool will continue to grow.

In fact, it does not mean that the capacity of the magic pool can be rapidly increased by keeping the magic pool in a full state all the time.At this point, maybe Heidi’s tutor has a wrong understanding, maybe the records in those books are not completely correct, maybe those examples are not suitable for me, and I need to have my own new path.I also didn't say that my magic pool is actually a magic vortex, I think everyone should have some little secrets of their own.

However, my remarks made these magic apprentices fall into deep thought. They felt that what I said was not unreasonable, but it was just a bit extreme. They usually practice meditation in self-study classes, which is to use magic After the mana in the pool is full, wait for the mana in the magic pool to decrease naturally.The mental power of these newborns is very low, so their mana in the natural state is constantly decreasing. At this time, the magic apprentices are very hard. They need to keep the mana in the magic pool at all times, and they cannot be reduced to the lowest point. Otherwise, once the magic power is exhausted in the magic pool, it will seriously damage one's own mental power.

So, we freshmen of magic apprentices stood in the long queue and had a discussion.Everyone gradually divided into two factions. One is the conservative faction. They believe that they should follow the teachings of the teachers in the college, practice meditation on time every day, and slowly accumulate to make the magic pool grow continuously. improve yourself.The advantage of this is that the foundation is solid, and although the progress is slow, hard work can make you grow steadily.

The other is the radicals. After hearing my remarks, they think that what I said is also very reasonable. They think that the time interval between the usual meditation techniques is too long, and half of the time is wasted in In terms of waiting for the magic power to dissipate slowly, if you can learn a new spell, then quickly consume the magic power and then re-accumulate the magic power, will this shorten the interval between meditation?Radicals believe that a lot of practice is destined to make the magic pool grow rapidly.

With the topic, time passed quickly. Before the magic apprentices who were divided into two factions had succeeded in persuading each other, we had already passed through the gate of the auditorium and entered a magical world. The auditorium was decorated like It is a large basketball court, surrounded by neat seats, the lower the front, the higher the back, the purpose of this is to allow all the audience to see clearly performance.

All the dark marble floors in the auditorium are covered with stars, as if all of us are in the night sky, stepping on the stars under our feet, I look up at the ceiling, and the entire vaulted ceiling is perfectly connected with the marble floor , I can’t even tell where the seam is. The whole auditorium is like being in the starry sky. The two galaxy rivers on the sky pass through us. Those hundreds of millions of starlight are very real. The pictures are connected together to form a 360-degree full-angle visual effect. From the first step into the auditorium, I have a feeling that I may fall into the endless void at any time, which makes every step I take seem cautious.

The performance stage is built in the center of the auditorium. It is a high platform that is simply built with shelves and wrapped with decorative cloth. There are rock patterns drawn by painters on it. It looks like the entire performance stage is built on a On the meteorite, the strange rocks are constantly cracking, and some rare magic crystals are exposed in the entire rock layer of the meteorite. This is a rich star sea that people yearn for.

The performance stage was about 20 meters above the ground. The magic lights on the stage were constantly flashing, and groups of magic flares were swimming in groups in the air of the auditorium like fish swimming in the water.Wherever the school of fish goes, it is the most dazzling place.All kinds of musical instruments and props have been placed on the performance stage, and an extremely soothing music like roaming in the starry sky is playing around the auditorium.

"Damn it, Jia, tell me, if I step on it, can it fall?" Fat Bobby just entered the door, and when he saw the strange scenery in the auditorium, he shrank back behind the door in fright, and dared not come in anyway. .

I am amazed and sighed in my heart. No wonder we have been queuing outside for so long. It turns out that the scenery in the auditorium is so real that many students can't adapt to it after entering the venue, so that there is a line at the door. There was a long queue.

I don't know which master in the academy is so talented.

"It's okay, these light and shadow effects are probably the seniors of the air magic class in the Magic Academy, making a little joke with us freshmen, Bobby, come in quickly, in fact, you will trample the stars under your feet, It feels good too!" I turned around and pulled Bobby in who was shrunk behind the door.

The two magic apprentices behind Bobby saw Bobby walking into the auditorium less than a second later, they got out again in fright. Walking into a dark starry sky, he was so frightened that his legs became weak for a while, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden.I couldn't help it anyway.

The freshmen who had already walked into the auditorium were completely immersed in this magnificent and mysterious sea of ​​stars. There was even a female student who tried to catch the meteor passing by her, but when the meteor passed by her, At that time, the entire meteorite covered the entire wall, and the circular crater and ice crystal fragments on the meteorite were clearly visible. The shocking feeling of the sudden attack made the female student scream and sit on the ground.The light and shadow of the meteorite passed through her body...

"This is so cool!" Bobby said to me, and he followed me nervously, looking at these dazzling stars.

One of the two magic apprentices following me said, "Jia, you are so brave!"

In fact, I was so scared that my hands and feet were cold. After all, the layout here is too realistic. A group of us groped forward to find an empty seat in the auditorium. At this time, less than half of the auditorium was already full of students.I chose an empty seat near the front and sat down.Fat Bobby actually sat next to me.

At this time, there was a commotion at the entrance of the auditorium.

I heard someone shouting: "The seniors from the Warrior Academy are starting to enter the arena!"

While speaking, I saw a group of soldiers in delicate light leather armors walking in neatly at the door. They all wore blue greaves and long combat boots, and they looked extraordinarily neat.The other students standing in the aisle gave way one after another, allowing the pair of neatly dressed warrior students to rush directly into the auditorium.The tall warrior who led the team chose a phalanx area with a lot of space, and walked straight there with these.

The dozen or so freshmen who were sitting loosely at first quickly gave up their seats and sat in other positions in the phalanx.

"These seniors are so majestic!" Bobby, who was sitting next to me, praised and said enviously.

I was also taken aback by the battle of these uniformly dressed senior seniors. As these senior seniors entered the arena one after another, the atmosphere in the auditorium was suddenly ignited, and the entire rather dull auditorium gradually heated up. However, those new recruits from the Warrior Academy were also full of pride and admiration, imagining that they might be like them a year later.

In this lively atmosphere, the party kicked off.
