Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 115 The teacher's discussion on Li Yu
"Director Li, Director Jiang, your Wind Department and Summoning Department have produced two outstanding talents this year!"

Dean Xiao paid close attention to the battle situation below and praised.

Li Ye, director of the Wind Department, and Jiang Yunming, director of the Summoning Department, were also very happy to hear this compliment. They all knew how high Dean Xiao's vision was and knew Dean Xiao's preferences even better.

Simply having a high talent for magic is unlikely to attract the interest of a strong man like Dean Xiao, because he himself is such a person, and no matter how talented one is, it is difficult to surpass him. This year, there are many geniuses like Mu Nujiao who are direct descendants of large families, but they have not received any special evaluation from Dean Xiao.

There is no other reason. These geniuses are only relative to ordinary people. In the eyes of Dean Xiao, they are just relatively superior products produced in the factory assembly line. They appear every year, just like harvesting leeks over and over again.

Dean Xiao is not a person who sticks to the rules. He likes changes and hopes that the students of Mingzhu Academy can show more possibilities. He is very happy that there are students who break the rules in Mingzhu Academy, because this is the ultimate reliance for reaching the limit on the road of magic.

At the welcome ceremony, Mo Fan's arrogant and domineering behavior certainly made him notorious among the students in the Qing campus, but many teachers knew that Dean Xiao liked this unconventional student very much. He was passionate and motivated, and his character of not caring about other people's opinions was something that many Mingzhu students who seemed excellent but were actually timid lacked.

In today's main campus assessment, Li Yu, a student from the Wind Department, showed another trait, not his personality, but his expansion of the application of magic.

The mainstream use of wind magic has always been to contain, interfere and dodge. A small number of outstanding wind magic students mainly rely on high-level wind magic or other offensive magic to complete the attack. Wind magic plays more of an auxiliary role.

But Li Yu is different. For him, wind is a means to help him get close to the enemy. As long as the enemy shows a gap, his wind track will instantly spread in front of the enemy like a shark smelling blood. Combined with Li Yu's speed far beyond his peers, that kind of overwhelming and all-pervasive offensive is enough to defeat any magician in a short period of time. It is a magician's nightmare.

The reason why Dean Xiao decided to arrange such a battle on a whim might be to give special instruction to the students of Mingzhu.

Li Yu's rival Mo Fan is well-known in Qing Campus. He is the Great Devil of Mingzhu and defeated more than a hundred freshmen of the same period alone in the welcome ceremony. He arrogantly and ruthlessly snatched away all the public resources of all freshmen in the department. Perhaps many freshmen would scold him for being a rude person, but absolutely no one would doubt the strength of Mo Fan.

However, Mo Fan, who was so powerful in frontal combat, was forced to flee everywhere under Li Yu's swift attack. The intermediate magic he was proud of was of no use at all. The root cause was not the high-grade magic-slaying tool in Li Yu's hand. The result was still the same when he replaced the magic-slaying tool with a fruit knife bought for ten dollars in the supermarket. What was really terrifying was the speed and flexibility.

In any case, this battle at least proved to many students to a certain extent the practicality of Li Yu's relatively alternative use of wind.

However, the head of the Shadow Department, who is also the ghost teacher, said sourly:

"Forget about that kid named Li Yu, at least he has been using the wind system. This Mo Fan is clearly using the shadow system. His summoned beast was knocked down by Li Yu at the very beginning."

"Old Ming~"

Obviously, these words did not have much effect on Jiang Yunming. As the teacher who recruited Mo Fan into the Summoning Department, Jiang Yunming was quite satisfied with Mo Fan as a student.
"Ming, I know you're not happy, but I am! My summoning department actually attracted a student who is naturally gifted with both departments. I feel relieved! How about I treat you to a meal today?"

Jiang Yunming's mentality is like this. Since I recruited them, they are my students. You, who are from the Shadow Department, can just stay aside. Didn't you see that the director of the Thunder Department next to you didn't say anything?

Ming Jinhua, the head of the Shadow Department, snorted coldly.
"So what if you are his student? You are still being chased around by that wind-type brat."

These words accurately grasped Jiang Yunming's pain point. No matter how exaggerated the words were, the fact was that Mo Fan was chased and fled in a panic.

In the end, Jiang Yunming could only defend Mo Fan.

"Mo Fan just encountered an area he is not good at. If he were to use his destructive magic, Li Yu would have to run around."

"Running around? Are you sure?" Ming Jinhua, director of the Shadow Department, smiled.

Mo Fan caused such a big fuss at the welcome ceremony. Afterwards, the top management of Mingzhu Academy had already checked Mo Fan's experience. The fact that he was born with two major systems could not be concealed at all. But so what?

"That Mo Fan is born with two magics, which should be Fire, Lightning, Summoning, and Shadow. I won't talk about the Summoning Wolf Beast, and there's nothing I can do about the Shadow. The Lightning Magic is a single-target attack magic, and the only large-scale magic is the Fiery Fist, which has an attack range of 20 meters and is 100 meters away. With the speed of that Wind guy, are you sure you can hit him?"

"This..." Jiang Yunming looked up at the floor tiles under his feet. It turned out that the builder's craftsmanship was quite good, and the floor tiles were laid neatly.

He couldn't say anything against his conscience. Li Yu's speed was astonishingly fast even judged by the most strict and picky eyes. Let alone a hundred meters, with the attack range of the Fierce Fist, as long as he was not released close to the face, he could easily jump away.

At this point, many teachers began to discuss Li Yu's uniqueness.
"Dean, how come this kid named Li Yu is so fast? I don't think he's using any magic tools, right?"

A teacher asked proactively.

Dean Xiao smiled but didn't say anything directly.

"Since this is a question related to the wind system, why don't we let Director Li explain it to everyone?"

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on the smiling Li Ye. As the director of the Wind Department, his understanding of the Wind Department was the highest among everyone present except Dean Xiao. He indeed knew the answer, even though the answer was a bit unbelievable.

"If my guess is correct, Li Yu's elementary wind track magic should already be at level 4, and its speed is twice as fast as the normal level 3 wind track."

"Level 4?"

The teachers present were all veteran teachers, and they were also powerful magicians, so they naturally knew what the fourth-level wind track meant. "It should be a natural talent, a special star that can increase the level of the magic it releases by one level? I remember that there seems to be someone with this talent in our Mingzhu main campus."

As for the other answer, no one dared to think of it.

"No, this is not a natural talent, but is strengthened by using the essence of a servant-level demon."

No one questioned this answer because the person who denied their guess was Dean Xiao, an authority in the magic world.

but……

"How can it be!"

"One spirit spirit costs five million, and strengthening seven star seeds costs nearly forty million. He is crazy! A top-level wind spirit seed only costs more than twenty million."

A teacher said in horror.

But some teachers noticed something.

"That guy doesn't look like someone who is short of money. Look at the demon-slaying tool in his hand. It is definitely high-end stuff. The wind-type spirit seed is probably not bad either. He spent a lot of money to build the configuration according to his own combat system."

"That's true."

"That's right."

"..."

After a careful look, several teachers also confirmed the fact that this Wind Department student was not short of money.

“But is the wind track of the fourth level that fast?”

Some teachers still raised doubts. With their eyesight, they could easily see that even if the wind track speed was doubled based on level three, it would still not be enough to reach Li Yu's current speed.

This speed...

Not to mention mid-level mages, even high-level mages may not be able to react if the distance is too close.

Even though Mo Fan was able to jump around despite Li Yu's pursuit, it was because he was in luck. For a shadow mage, at night, especially in such a shadowy environment, his movement speed was almost comparable to teleportation.

Try it in broad daylight?
Li Ye also gave an explanation for this.
"Li Yu's physical fitness is much higher than that of ordinary wind mages. His basic speed crushes ordinary mages. With the bonus of wind magic, this speed gap will be further magnified."

"Oh yeah, I remember now, how did that kid knock down the Phantom Wolf Beast in one go?"

Speaking of physical fitness, one teacher recalled the shocking scene at the beginning.

A mid-level wizard, relying purely on physical strength, single-handedly gave an advanced ghost wolf a shoulder throw. Is this a humanoid demon?
However, Dean Xiao was unable to give an accurate answer to this question.
"There are two possibilities. The first is that this student is born with supernatural powers."

"What about the second one?" The teachers looked at Dean Xiao with curiosity like elementary school students.

The latter watched Li Yu's every move and narrowed his eyes.

"It's probably his natural talent. His natural talent is probably the enhancement of physical fitness through magic power or mental strength. That's why he has the power to overthrow advanced demons when he is a mid-level magician."

"Strengthen your body? Is there such a natural talent?"

"It's not hard to understand. As magicians improve their level, their physical fitness is no longer as weak as it was at the beginning. Perhaps this student's talent has strengthened this characteristic. Innate talent varies from person to person. Even the most senior magic scholars cannot confirm whether a certain innate talent exists or not."

"That's true what the dean said." Dean Xiao's viewpoint was also shared by many teachers. The magical world is full of wonders, and if a magician has any inexplicable characteristics, they can just explain it by saying that they are born with talent.

"This kid is really lucky."

Some teachers said enviously.

The biggest difference between a magician and a demon is physical strength. As the physical fitness becomes stronger, the ability to survive on the battlefield also increases. Which magician does not desire higher physical strength?

Dean Xiao's words set the tone for the incident. No one was concerned about Li Yu's strength anymore and everyone continued to watch the battlefield. At this moment, a cry of surprise came from outside the iron cage. The teacher who turned his head was extremely surprised and was busy congratulating Li Ye, the director of the Feng Department.
