Chapter 125: Ultra Long-Distance Casting
“This is ultra long-distance casting. When you have the chance to learn the 【Advanced Contract Studies】 course, you will have the opportunity to master it.”
Hearing this, Jia Na couldn't help but purse her lips slightly.
If following the Principal's current progress in teaching 【Introductory Contract Studies】, Jia Na didn't even know if she would have the chance to finish the subsequent courses before graduation.
“Right, I learned 【Advanced Contract Studies】 at the White Tower. I signed a confidentiality agreement, so our academy cannot teach this advanced course—the same goes for 【Advanced Medical Studies】.”
Hearing this, Jia Na couldn't help but feel a little confused.
“But, I saw the exchange channels for these two advanced courses on the Magic Tower's crystal wall—””
“That's fake.”
Then what is real?
All courses at White Coral Academy, once exchanged, will not have their credits refunded. What if an unsuspecting apprentice becomes a scapegoat and wastes credits for nothing?
“Don't worry, those exchange channels are also fake. Even if you actually exchange them, the academy will refund your credits.”
As if her psychological activities were seen through, looking at Anthony-Black Sparrow who was still looking straight ahead, Jia Na immediately used the 【Muscle Control】 talent to adjust her expression to a calm look that no one could discern any emotion from.
“Bang bang bang—”
As time slowly passed, surging Witchcraft energy also exploded in various parts of the Mist Forest, continuously attacking the Shadow Creatures, giving those apprentices who were still putting up a desperate fight a chance to escape.
“It seems the other two academies have also started to act.”
Not only that, in order to protect the City of Turin and the academy from the invasion of Shadow Creatures, Grace-Eva, Mary-
Margarita and a group of First-Level Wizards from White Coral Academy also acted under Anthony-Black Sparrow's command, eradicating the endless stream of Shadow Creatures with lightning speed.
“Release one more, then let's go back.”
“Okay.”
Taking the special rune handed over by Anthony-Black Sparrow again, under rapid casting, a blue and white firework several times larger than before suddenly bloomed in the air again.
Like countless sparks across the sky, it made the dark night seem like day.
“Puff—”
The sharp claw covered in crimson scales pierced through the human head. With the cooperation of the Undead Guardian and Richard-Eva, Solo-Flame finally completed the final blow, tearing apart the Double-headed Magic Snake's head.
“Richard, are you okay?”
Wiping off the ink-like snake blood from his hands, after confirming the Double-headed Magic Snake's death, with a light leap, Suo Luo-
Lie Yan jumped back to Richard-Eva's side.
“I'm fine, just a fractured leg bone, it doesn't affect anything.”
Seeing that the Double-headed Magic Snake was dead, the Undead Guardian, whose skeleton had been scattered dozens of times, returned to the necromantic world in a pale white light after picking up its bones.
“Let's go, it's already the second emergency recall order. If we don't hurry back, the vine tunnel might be sealed.”
Looking at the starry blue and white Flame in the air, Richard-Eva gave a reminder, then directly spread his bat wings,
and quickly flew out of the Mist Forest.
“Wait for me!”
Seeing Richard-Eva leave, after Solo-Flame took out the Double-headed Magic Snake's magic core, he also quickly ran towards the outside of the Mist Forest.
Under the joint siege of the Formal Wizards from each academy, any Shadow Creature that dared to show its head was completely wiped out.
However, there were still some apprentices who, in the end, couldn't wait for the academy's rescue and silently perished in the Mist Forest.
Fortunately, because Anthony-Black Sparrow acted quickly, and because the apprentices of White Coral set off later than the apprentices of other academies, they were recalled by the forced summoning order cast by Jia Na before they could truly go deep.
This also meant that in this sudden incident, the apprentices of White Coral Academy suffered the least damage.
As for the Black Bone Forest Apprentices who received the news earliest and began exploring the depths of the Mist Forest, they were not so lucky. Most of the casualties occurred almost entirely in the Black Bone Forest, which can be said to have suffered a severe blow.
“You go back first. When the time comes, I will have the Raven notify you and your team to collect the Black Bone Forest's rewards—of course, that also includes the part I promised.”
“Thank you, Principal. Then I will head back first.”
Jia Na, who returned to the academy along the vine tunnel, could feel the lively atmosphere inside the academy as soon as she got back.
Even though everyone was more or less injured, the joy of hunting high-level Shadow Creatures with the cooperation of the Principal's Undead Guardian was enough to cover up these insignificant injuries.
“Right, the rewards—””
Although the rewards promised by the Black Bone Forest and the Principal have not yet been received, Jia Na had only glanced at the readily available rewards from the task system before due to time constraints and hadn't studied them carefully.
“Let's go back to the dormitory first.”
Looking at the bustling crowd around her, Jia Na first found a Raven on a tree, then after paying zero point one credit, she entrusted the Raven to deliver a message to Vivian and Bell-Moonshadow, letting them know she had returned safely.
“It seems necessary to train Afu to take on the role of a messenger in the future—”
Since Jia Na didn't know Bell-Moonshadow's dormitory location yet, this time she still chose to spend a little credit to entrust the Raven with delivering the message.
“The Principal said that if I master anchor point positioning, theoretically, I can completely summon Afu directly to their location through the technique of 【Ultra Long-Distance Summoning】—”
Of course, this technique belongs to the 【Advanced Contract Studies】 course. If Jia Na wants to learn it, according to Anthony-Black Sparrow, she can only learn it by studying further at Dordogne-White Tower.
Not only that, but the situation is the same for 【Advanced Medical Studies】. This couldn't help but give Jia Na the illusion that all advanced courses were monopolized by these high-level Wizard Gathering Places. “Perhaps it's also because White Coral Academy, and even Turin, this third-level Wizard Gathering Place, is too small—””
There are only four second-level Wizard Gathering Places on the Western Continent: Phoenix City, Dordogne, Atlantis, and Florence. However, beneath these four second-level gathering places, there are hundreds of third-level Wizard Gathering Places attached.
These third-level gathering places, whether large or small, although far apart from each other, competition is everywhere.
After all, there are only so many resources. A medium-to-small third-level Wizard Gathering Place like Turin, which is relatively middle-ranked, will certainly not be able to enjoy too many resources.
If it were an academy in a top-ranked third-level Wizard Gathering Place, it certainly wouldn't be reduced to a state where it couldn't even obtain the learning permission for 【Advanced Courses】.
Of course, there are also numerous Wizard Gathering Places that are even worse off than Turin.”
