I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

"Are you looking for death? Try it again?!"

Seeing that the two people in front of her were about to fight again, Isabella quickly spoke to stop them. She was obviously here to learn magic, but she was always worried about these two masters who seemed to have grown up and were always quarreling. Isabella Finally, he took the initiative to express his attitude.

"You just need to teach me like a normal student!"

"How is that possible...you are not an ordinary student at all."

"Please!"

Isabella, who was bowing to her in front of her, seemed to be very determined. Gresta, who actually couldn't think of any special training method for this moment, finally reluctantly agreed.

The interrupted teaching started again. Since dark magic cannot be stored in the wand, and Isabella, who cannot control her ability to omit chanting, cannot store the complete chanting of sacred magic, she finally has to start with how to protect her wand. here we go.

"The first step is to control your instincts!"

The water blade cut through the air and came towards me, targeting Isabella's right hand holding the wand.

"For a medium that needs to carry precise magic flow, that is, a wand, the direct resistance to offensive magic is zero. Although the physical properties of the wand are mostly strong due to the use of special materials, as long as it is attacked by magic or other special energy If it arrives, it will temporarily lose its effect.”

The water blade hit the wand that Isabella subconsciously raised to resist, turning into scattered water shocks that wet her clothes.

As Gresta said, Isabella's attempt to cast magic immediately was prevented. Due to the disorder of the magic medium, she was unable to communicate with the magic of nature. The most advanced wand in her hand temporarily became a useless one. dry branches.

"The quality of the wand only determines the time it takes for it to recover its magic-guiding ability after being disturbed by magic. Therefore, as long as the opponent's wand is hit with magic, she will inevitably be unable to fight back for a period of time."

With a brushing sound, the tip of the staff in Gresta's hand flashed with fiery red light and was pressed against the front of Isabella's throat.

"The wand in your hand can be said to be one of the best wands in the entire continent. The recovery time after being disturbed by magic and other energy is six seconds. Please be sure to keep this time in mind. Within these six seconds , you will not have any ability to use magic to resist."

"I understand, Teacher Gresta."

"You have to overcome your subconscious movements, at least not use your wand to block attacks. Your dominant hand is your right, right?"

"Yes." Isabella nodded. Six seconds passed, and she felt that the magic wand in her hand had regained its magic-guiding ability, and the halo of magic power flashed again.

"Try using your wand with your left hand so that when you subconsciously lift it to block an attack, you don't lift it with the wand hand."

"Is this so? Then teacher..."

Gresta flexibly turned her aqua blue spare wand between her two hands, creating a dazzling trajectory.

"Me? I can use the wand very well with both hands, and of course with my feet."

Gresta took her feet out of the witch boots. The jade feet that exposed the smooth insteps were not wrapped by socks or anything like that. Her crystal clear pink nails were trimmed neatly, like works of art.

She moved her toes flexibly and said with a wicked smile: "That's why I also have a magic medium hidden inside my boots!"

While saying this, Gresta nimbly held a small gem pendant in her boots that was passed through a leather cord loop with her toes.

"There are many level 8 attack spells stored here. More than half of those guys who thought they could capture me alive after disarming themselves died in this step~"

She said very cruel words with a smile on her face, but Gresta showed no sign of repentance.

He is insidious, cunning, and vicious, and will do anything to achieve his goals... Isabella smiled bitterly as she recalled Leticia's words. She seemed to be gradually able to understand how Leticia would describe Greed in this way. Miss Star's reason.

"But Teacher Gresta, you seem to have forgotten one thing."

"Huh? What is it~?"

.....

In the second confrontation between the two, Isabella still held the wand with her right hand.

But this time, the oncoming attack was deflected by the curse shield that flashed brightly in front of Isabella's right wand. Isabella, who was not affected by it, immediately recited the spell and quickly fired a holy light bullet to counterattack.

Bang bang bang!

Three Holy Lights

The bullet exploded on the water cover in front of Gresta, making her slightly stunned, and then she laughed.

"You little brat, you are quite clever at playing tricks!"

Isabella waved away the Lin curse shield in front of her.

"It's just a matter of using all the power I have, isn't it - Teacher Gresta?"

Now, Isabella is not only a trainee witch, she is also a master of the Brisac Curse and a direct disciple of the Curse God Letitia.

"You actually chose to use conjuration and magic together. Okay~ So you win the game this time. I want to see how well your master has taught you - continue."

The intensity of the battle increased step by step, until Isabella could protect herself from being disarmed by Gresta at the intensity level of the standard witch graduation exam, the study of this subject was officially considered a graduation.

Chapter 36 Standard Witch Practical Examination

...

More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Isabella had been conducting semi-practical exercises with Gresta. In order to be able to raise her head and speak in front of Leticia, Gresta had to Isabella's guidance can be described as very strict.

And after such a long battle, Isabella just wanted to master the most important skill or habit, which was to protect her wand.

In Gresta's words, if she can do this under her own hands, then Isabella, who has powerful attack, self-protection and healing abilities, may even have the ability to win the Battle of Glorobat.

No matter what she does, she can reach the top fifty - these are Gresta's original words.

The white meteor trailing the trail of blazing red flames tore through the air at extremely high speeds and shot toward the girl's running figure.

Isabella held the wand tightly, and while moving at high speed, she kept paying attention to the movements of Gresta in the distance. She had already made a dodge the moment she opened her mouth to recite the spell.

"Blazing Meteor!"

call out--!

Isabella lowered her body weight suddenly, and her long golden hair tugged downwards with her movement. The girl rolled nimbly on the grass, with hot traces tracing close to the ends of her hair, and even Feel the staggering heat waves twisting the air around you.

Although you dodged the first attack, in actual combat, your opponent will not wait for you to dodge an attack before releasing the next attack. Gresta was chanting the next attack as early as when Isabella was about to roll. Stage six earth magic.

"Strangler Rock Gun!"

Before her body had time to stabilize, at the weakest moment when Isabella was momentarily off-balance and ready to adjust her center of gravity, the ground around her feet suddenly spurted out several sharp rock guns that shone with metallic luster.

The right hand holding the wand wanted to push it towards the ground, but the point where it landed was already greeted by the sharp tip of the spear. Isabella had no time to recite any spell, so she simply didn't recite it!

Dang - click!

The sudden rock gun connected with the translucent gray half-body shield, making a deafening sound of gold and iron. Then the hard spear tip did not break through the shield's defense and exploded on the spot. The sharp rock gun fragments hit the shield with a clanking sound. Above, it has lost its due threat.

Isabella did not resist the kinetic energy coming from her arms. Instead, she jumped up in the direction of the force, doing a backflip like a rhythmic gymnast, and escaped from the cluster of rock spears that were strangled from other directions. The intertwined rock spears could only let the girl's hair brush the tip of the spears and bid them farewell deftly.

The shield holding the 'Cecil's Oath' in her hand landed steadily. Just as Isabella was able to stand firm, she saw the shining thunder gun coming towards her. Isabella couldn't help but want to whimper. Lesta's attack almost took her breath away!

She quickly raised the shield in her hand to resist, and the huge force of the bombardment made her arms numb. If she continued to fall into Gresta's offensive rhythm like this, Isabella, who had far less combat experience than her, knew that she would not be able to win this time. He would just be pressed and beaten all the time.

A breakthrough must be found!

Isabella's side and left hand were also pressed against the shield. The powerful and continuous lightning spears could not penetrate her own curse shield for the time being. Even if this attack came from the hands of the strongest witch, the power of sixth-level magic would be the same. After all, there is a limit, and this limit is not enough to break Cecil's oath.

Strong electric light illuminated the surroundings. Although Gresta could not see the girl for the time being, she also knew that Isabella could not avoid the attack that had suppressed her behind the shield.

"It's time for her to see my true abilities as the 'Witch of the Origin'~"

In the battles in recent days, Gresta has fully demonstrated the level of magical strength required in the standard witch promotion exam, but this has been completely unable to help Isabella.

She can silently and instantaneously cast the Lin Curse, and her defensive ability is enough to withstand all magical attacks at this intensity. Even if she is not yet proficient in timing counterattack spells, as long as this continues, ordinary enemies will definitely not be able to maintain the same strength all the time. She found an opportunity to attack.

Conjuration consumes mental power, while magic consumes magic power. The two do not interfere with each other. To describe it in a digital form is... Isabella has two independent blue bars and two independent sets of skills.

Therefore, when fighting at the same level or even across levels, you will definitely not be able to defeat Isabella, a person who seems to be cheating...

After all, when using magic defense, the magic power will continue to recover.

, and when using magic to counterattack, the mental power supporting the casting of spells is also constantly recovering. As long as the balance between the two is mastered, Isabella can be called a semi-perpetual motion machine.

As for why it is a 'semi' perpetual motion machine, it is because as a human girl, Isabella's physical inability to support long-term and high-intensity battles is her biggest weakness.

And this weakness cannot be solved or compensated for by magic or conjuration.

So what Gresta needs to do now is not to break through Isabella's defense, but to force her to run. As long as she has no strength to run, she will not be able to resist her own attack.

You can't recite complex and precise spells when you're panting heavily~

Gresta took out the second wand from her waist with a smile and held it in her other hand.

[Double Casting]

No one ever said a witch couldn't use two wands to cast spells at the same time...

The tip of the wand in Gresta's right hand was still filled with lightning strikes. At this time, she flicked the wand with her left hand and chanted the spell at high speed, emitting a garbled and sharp tone.

[Accelerate chant——]

Eighth-level earth magic: Quicksand Sea!

Isabella, who was concentrating on thinking about how to solve the problem, suddenly sank. She was surprised to find that the hard ground around her had suddenly collapsed and turned into a whirlpool of quicksand. She wanted to drag herself into the ground, and then combined with the ins and outs on the shield. The huge force of the bombardment stopped, and in just a few seconds, Isabella's legs were completely trapped in the quicksand, unable to move.

"How could it be?! There's obviously already... Oops!"

She had to get out of this situation immediately. In the short period of time when she was surprised that Gresta could cast two high-level magics at the same time, quicksand had already swallowed up Isabella's waist.

But the control magic of up to the eighth level will not only physically engulf you into the sea of ​​quicksand, but also contain heavy magic spells that will prohibit the use of any displacement magic.

Displacement magic - it is a variety of non-attribute spells that witches can use when maneuvering quickly and avoiding attacks. As long as they have any kind of attribute magic talent, they can be used. The effects include but are not limited to double jumps, short-distance teleportation and Explosive movement speed bonus, no need to wave a wand, and the pronunciation of the spell is concise and efficient, usually no more than five syllables at most.

Isabella, who maintains the spell shield, has already discovered this. Even if she uses the displacement magic spell, there is no response. This makes her can only rely on spells to get out of the current bad situation.

Generally speaking, Gresta's ultra-high-level skill of double casting has completely deviated from the standard witch exam strength specifications. It is impossible for any trainee witch who has not graduated to handle this situation, and even some high-level witches When faced with this situation, they will be killed without the ability to resist...

But there is no way, why is Isabella also a disciple of her old rival? Gresta likes to fight against her!

You actually used the skills that other teachers gave you in my magic class, so let me try to use that skill to escape from this situation now!

The sea of ​​quicksand was formed, and the attack of the lightning gun came to an end. Gresta looked at Isabella who was holding a cursed shield and fell into the quicksand with only her chest and arms exposed, and she smiled meaningfully. Under the convinced gaze, he used the first wand to perform double casting again.

"What a pity, my little Isa, you will lose this round too~"

[Speed ​​up chanting]

Seventh-level fire magic: burning spiral.

The terrifying high temperature instantly melted the flowing gravel on the surface, and a huge flame spiral condensed above the head of Gresta, slamming down diagonally towards the immobile Isabella.

Chapter 37: Forbidden Curse (3500)

Magic intensity is divided into twelve stages.

Stages one to three are practical magics, similar to the intensity of burning firewood, building a house or drying clothes, and basically pose no threat to ordinary people.

The fourth to seventh stages are combat magic. From the fourth stage, it can already cause harm and threat to witches. The fifth to seventh stages have the terrifying power to completely injure or kill a witch. Only use four to seven. With seven stages of magic, a witch was able to defeat at least one regiment of Brisac King City Guards.

The eighth to twelfth stages are large-scale magics, which are basically control or destruction magics over a large area or a large area. The capture targets are basically at the enemy or city level.

For example, when she and Letitia met and had a fight before, the "thunder call" used by Gresta was a tenth-stage high-level thunder magic, which was enough to trigger changes in the world and forcefully change the environment in a short period of time.

Beyond the twelve stages above, there is the power collectively known as the "Forbidden Curse".

The division of forbidden spells does not rely on power, but the level of influence on the intensity of reality. Once it can affect the intensity of reality... it is similar to magic that tears space, generates matter out of thin air, summons the undead, or changes the subconscious common sense of a large range of intelligent creatures. , will be classified as forbidden spells.

Forbidden spells generally do not have attributes, but taboo spells that have attributes are generally the ultimate magic with extremely terrifying destructive capabilities. They are powerful enough to destroy the entire Durunoy continent, and the entire continent has cast the most forbidden spells in history. The witch of the curse is the witch of the origin - Gristavia.

The impact it has caused is irreparable. If Leticia wants to protect the world from being

To tear it apart, you can only pay a huge price to activate the ultimate secret of the Time Curse - the world of Time Curse. Only by cutting the line of cause and effect can you prevent everything in this world from heading towards final destruction.

When Isabella woke up from her coma, she found herself lying on the bed in her room - the bedroom inside the tree house of the Witch's House.

She could still vaguely feel the intense pain of the skin being cracked and peeled off by the boiling blood all over her body, but when she raised her arm to confirm, she found that no trace of injury could be seen on the smooth skin.

"Oh, little Isa, are you awake?"

The last scene in my memory was that Gresta was hit in the head with seven-level magic twice by double-casting spells twice. Fortunately, Cecil's Oath in her hand was still in the casting state, so she was able to resist it a little bit. , so he didn’t die on the spot.

Isabella's two masters, Gresta and Leticia, once said that whether it was the Conjurer Promotion Exam or the Standard Witch Practical Exam, there was a risk of accidental death, and one must be aware and prepared. .

But the feeling of being so close to death for the first time still left Isabella frightened.

Looking at Gresta who pushed in through the door with a medicine bowl, this guy who almost killed his disciple could still greet her with a heartless smile.

"Teacher Gresta...what is that?"

"Eh~ Is that what I have in my hand? It's a magic potion. It's used to help you recover. Come on, get up and open your mouth. Drink it all."

Isabella sighed helplessly in her heart. Teacher Gresta knew clearly that this was not what she was asking, but the previous battle that far exceeded the intensity of the standard witch practical examination.
