Chapter 110 Swordsmanship Lesson
Isabella was very concerned about those three boys. Their magic source was controlled to the entry-level by a national-level magician, and they also carried some special magic tools to suppress the temptation of magic fluctuations.
Isabella released the magical fluctuations of earth dragon sensing to detect the differences in them.
The atmosphere among the three of them was very depressing, and they walked on the road in silence.
Returning to Villa No. 23, he asked tentatively.
"Milushia, were there three boys wearing school uniforms just now? What kind of family backgrounds do they have?"
Isabella's inexplicable concern was a bit confusing in Milushia's eyes.
Milushia covered Isabella's forehead.
"The Seventh Prince gave you a chance but you didn't want it. Why do you like boys from neighboring countries? Are you attracted to one of them? The God of Destiny has already given you a chance. Are you still considering whether you are a good match?"
"Neighboring country?" Isabella looked at Milucia with her head tilted, "Why would they come to our country... to study at the magic academy? And Briffin!"
"Your question..." Milushia pinched Isabella's face, "Are you really attracted to him? The situation in their country is so chaotic, there are only three magic academies, all in the easternmost old power Coriloman Empire."
"Their country has been divided into the west and the east for more than ten years, and has not yet been unified," Ivy Solis said with a pout. "Miss Isabella is from a knight class family. Doesn't she know about the neighboring country?"
Isabella shook her head helplessly and admitted that she really didn't know about this. The original owner had a playful mind and would never pretend to care about things that were unimportant to her.
After finishing the topic, Isabella was thinking about how to arrange the guild's personnel to investigate the three suspicious students who were at the level of junior magicians.
"It's getting late. I have class at 8 o'clock tomorrow. I should go to bed early..."
A few people looked at the clock hanging high on the wall. The time was already 10:15 pm...
Isabella returned to her room, locked it, and set the alarm for herself at 7:30 in the morning. The alarm clock was mechanical, and she was a little amazed that this world actually had a certain level of technology. Her mother had told her that the people who designed the machinery were the dwarves from the westernmost part of the empire.
After changing into a new set of clothes, Isabella opened the gap in space.
Go to the Guild Hall of Wanjing Sky Island.
By coincidence, he ran into Ling Yi who was collecting monster materials.
Isabella chatted with her about neighboring countries.
"...The Coreroman Third Empire is also quite strange," Ling Yi complained, "They have two national-level magicians, but they still can't take down the royal family of the old power. There is only one possibility, and that is to suck away their wealth. In August, the magic fog and black cloud appeared in the Coreroman old power territory, and they lost hundreds of magic warriors. In the end, the magic fog and black cloud fled to the new power territory in the west and could only be successfully resolved."
"It's a bit... unexpected." Isabella was a little interested after learning about the history of the neighboring country. "How did they calculate the location of the magic fog and black cloud? Can Azelia Academy predict the future?"
"Azelia's Star Spirit Department can monitor the spatial fluctuations and magic flow on the ground all over the world. It can detect whether there is a lack of magic power or abnormal fluctuations in an area of 100 kilometers. A label will appear on the Star Spirit Department's world map. Finally, mathematical calculations can be used to determine the time and the strength of the monster leader."
"Why are you asking this?"
Ling Yi asked back at last. Ling Yi knew that Isabella usually didn't care about things that had nothing to do with her. If she cared about Corey Roman's Third Empire, she would realize that she might have encountered something.
"What is the relationship between the Corey Roman Third Empire and the Oberic Empire? How do the two countries maintain their bottom line when the neighboring country is so powerful?"
"you ask me?"
Ling Yi's eyes were dizzy, and she didn't know how to answer: "This is a matter between the powers that be. The relationship with the Oberic Empire is still normal, and there is mutual trade. The driving force behind the split of Corey Roman was given by your empire."
"What's wrong today? Are you asking about the neighboring country? Do you want to go play?"
"No... I'm just asking out of curiosity," Isabella glanced at the time, "Time is running out, and I need to go to bed early. I came back just to see everyone and to tell them to do something."
After briefly speaking to Ling Yi, Ling Yi put four bags full of elite monster heads and horns into the space and left the guild.
Isabella called Erwin and Merlin.
"You two will go on a mission. I will take you to Avilato to investigate the three junior magicians in the first grade of the Fire Department of Briffin College. You will investigate secretly. If you have enough evidence to prove that they have ill intentions, catch them and let the college deal with them."
"Briffin College..." Merlin said hesitantly, "This mission is very difficult. Avilato has many high-level magicians with the All-Seeing Eye. Our magic source is hidden. If we encounter someone stronger than us, we will be easily seen through. The uniforms of Briffin College students are all customized... Investigating secretly is as difficult as eating food on the table of guests in a restaurant under public view."
Isabella listened to Merlin's analysis and realized that this task was indeed easier said than done.
"I will transform you into the two boys in our class and control your magic power to the entry level. If you release magic stronger than the entry level, you will be exposed. The academy does not require all students to live on campus, so you can live outside for the time being."
A few minutes later, Isabella dressed the two of them in casual clothes and took them to the villa residential area along the riverside road.
"Yanjiang Road... No. 28," Isabella clearly sensed that the three of them lived in this villa, "It's quite close to where I live. Their residence is not in the row of houses by the river. Is it because it's relatively cheaper..."
"We remember their appearance," Erwin saw the three of them through the gap in the curtains, "They acted sneakily, it's hard not to suspect that they are spies sent by Corey Roman and the Third Reich..."
Finally, Isabella explained the secret code and meeting place at the academy to the two, opened the space gap and returned to her own room.
The next morning, the class was a theoretical course on lightning magic.
This world's theory of electricity is equivalent to the Blue Planet in the nineteenth century.
All theory class teachers list their course plans.
Within one year, you will learn the history of magic, how to quickly release magic, how to strengthen magic, and the functions of magic sources at different stages.
How magic elements attach to living beings and then gradually transform into the source of magic power for humans.
Just like how eating caloric food can become a source of magic power in the body.
The application of lightning magic in life, processing technology, and what materials can be made with lightning elements.
The main courses in the first grade are swordsmanship, magic release, and scroll classes. In the future, there will also be magic tool making, alchemy, and flying cloak courses.
There is a three and a half hour break at noon, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, there is a sword-fighting class.
The college arena is about the size of a football field, but is a standard circular shape with stepped seating on the east and west sides, and can accommodate 15,000 people.
The swordsmanship teacher is a compact female teacher with brown hair tied up in a bun, about fifty years old. Her job is the court magic swordsman instructor. She is a high-level magician, and eighty percent of the knights-general of the Imperial Knights have come from her teachings.
"…In Briffin Academy, you can call me Teacher Tiguwei. If any of you are lucky enough to enter the palace and become a court magic swordsman, you can call me by my title!"
She can use any sword weapon, no matter its size or thickness. The academy's sword skills requirement is to learn to use a 1.2-meter-long swift sword.
"…We will not be teaching any sword techniques today. Does anyone in your class have the basics of sword techniques?"
After she finished speaking, boys and girls raised their hands one after another. Isabella also raised her hand silently. Isabella looked around and saw that twelve people, including herself, had raised their hands.
The swordsmanship teacher stood at the front of the team, and everyone stood with their heads held high, even the seventh prince was no exception.
She didn't seem like an ordinary teacher at the moment, but more like she was talking to everyone in the capacity of the palace magic swordsman instructor. The position of court instructor could only be held by those nominated by the Knights Templar and finally approved by the King. After all, she was the teacher of the palace magic swordsman and could not tolerate compromise.
Isabella knew clearly that ordinary swordsman teachers could not teach this class, mainly because of the existence of the Seventh Prince.
"Your class has a strong foundation. Now... I need your class to elect a sword class representative."
Teacher Tiguwei was on the left side of the team, walking with her hands on her back.
"The twelve of you who think you have the basics of a swordsman, step forward and compete one-on-one. The loser of the first round will have a resurrection match, and only one person can enter the next round."
A few minutes later, all the participants put on protective gear, which were thickened Neerhuai plate armor, and the swords they used were ordinary forged steel, unsharpened swords.
In the first round, Isabella faced a slightly fat boy. She knocked him down quickly with only three moves: a stance, a rebound attack on the lower abdomen, a sword-flipping move to knock the sword out of his hand, and finally a reverse-handed sword against his shoulder. Teacher Tiguwei, the referee, blew the whistle and the game ended.
In the next two rounds, Isabella also won several moves easily, but she was not even as durable as the first boy. The impact of the chopping was very strong, and those who didn't hold their hands firmly would be shaken and their arms would become weak.
Isabella had already restrained herself enough, but her body had absorbed too many powerful monsters...
The third round of confrontation was with Julius. Isabella remembered that his father was a rider of the Eighth Dragon Riders. He had good skills, but unfortunately he lost to Isabella's strength.
In the final, it was the boy who was defeated in the first round. He lost to Isabella once and wanted to win.
He exerted his strength and swung his sword continuously to attack Isabella. Isabella did not dodge but blocked with her sword. Only a head-on confrontation could convince everyone.
After Isabella defended for two minutes, he became tired and reduced his attacks.
He swung his sword again, and Isabella's sword collided with his. The violent collision made his body a little unstable. Only then did he start to get serious, turning around and swinging his sword up and down continuously.
Isabella felt the crisp sound of swords colliding with each other. She took all his attacks and knocked him down with the same method she had used to defeat him in the first round.
The whole audience burst into applause. For the inexperienced students in the class, Isabella's swordplay was fierce and pleasing to the eye. Although there seemed to be a physical difference, her swordplay made up for it.
"…Isabella Bairina will serve as the swordsmanship class representative for Class 1 of the Lightning Department," Teacher Laguwei announced the result directly. "There will be future classes scheduled and swordsmanship competitions held by the academy. Isabella will be responsible for handing over to the academy and your classmates. In the remaining time, you will collect your own equipment and practice freely. Return it to the weapons room after class."
After the breakup, Tiguvi looked for Isabella and had a private chat.
"...Heroda Bailina turned out to be your father. No wonder I saw a familiar shadow in your swordsmanship," Teacher Tiguwei was a little relieved and secretly sighed, "When he was in the Magic Military Academy, his swordsmanship was among the best. He always lacked the ability to fight against monsters. You are now the same as he was back then. Alas, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."
"I still have a lot of shortcomings in swordsmanship. If I were on the battlefield, I would definitely use magic and not rely on swordsmanship. I can't be compared with my father..."
"I have high hopes for you. If you train well, you can replace me as the palace swordsmanship instructor in the future."
At the end, Teacher Tiguwei saw a griffin knight landing nearby. He told her some work arrangements in the palace, picked up Tiguwei and left the academy early.
Isabella looked at the clock tower in the center of the academy. It was soon time for the get out of class to end, so she asked everyone to pack up their equipment and go to eat early.
If anyone in the class was dissatisfied, they would just say it with a smile, and if a real confrontation came up, they would just slip away as a joke.
The boy who lost the two games came from a family that owned a weapons forging factory. He had used all kinds of swords in the world, but he still felt dissatisfied and blamed the academy's weapons for not being suitable for him. He promised to take away the position of swordsmanship class representative the next year.
Isabella, who became the swordsmanship class representative of the first grade of the Lightning Department, gained another little fan girl, Marianna. Her father was the deputy commander of the Knights Templar, and his family was only one level lower than Isabella's. She was passionate about swordsmanship.
Isabella thought: "Let's go to the cafeteria first... otherwise all the delicious food will be gone." After saying that, she glanced in the direction where the boys were gathered and saw the Seventh Prince and several of his armored attendants.
After school, like Figgins, she followed Isabella...
