Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

"Lingnan Shaqiao is a passage between two worlds located in the southern suburbs of our Lanling City. Classmates, since it has 'bridge' as a suffix, what can we know from that?"

"Yes, the name 'Lingnan Sand Bridge' indicates that it's the lowest-level interdimensional space passage. So, what are the two characteristics of the lowest-level space passage?"

"That's right, the smallest area, the biggest restrictions."

"The specific restriction is: only beginner and intermediate level magical beasts and mages are allowed to enter."

"Next, I will guide you through a detailed introduction to the types of monsters in Lingnan Sand Bridge."

"The main monsters in Lingnan Shaqiao are..."

On the podium, the teacher was giving a serious lecture to the students, with various Warcraft images and videos constantly appearing on the teaching PowerPoint slides.

Aside from a few students who appeared listless and drowsy, most students were listening attentively to the lecture.

Wang Yi was one of the students who listened attentively.

After cramming online last night, Wang Yi is still struggling a bit with the lessons, but at least they're not as incomprehensible as listening to gibberish.

The teacher on the podium was the same frameless, bespectacled, refined middle-aged male teacher who taught the last class yesterday.

Last night, Wang Yi specifically looked up information about Lanling Magic High School. According to the teacher information published on the official website, the teacher's name is Peng Wanli, and he is a teacher of basic magic courses.

Compared to regular high schools, magic high schools, in addition to regular academic courses, also offer basic magic academic courses and basic magic practical courses.

The basic magic culture course is mainly divided into magic history, magic geography, basic magical beast explanations, basic magic crystal illustrations, and basic magic summaries.

Although they seem to study more than regular high school students, the proportion of regular academic courses is actually not large; it's just to prevent students from becoming disconnected from mainstream society.

The exams mainly test basic magic skills.

Besides the basic cultural courses on magic, the most important courses are the basic practical courses on magic.

It is used for students to absorb magic crystals, study magic, and practice combat.

Of course, Wang Yi currently does not have any practical training courses.

After all, it's only been a month since the start of the school year, and many of the first-year high school students have only just been exposed to magic. Many students are still not proficient in using ordinary-grade magic, let alone in actual combat.

Basic magic practice classes also have teachers. Although magic cannot be acquired through self-study at present, some experience and skills in casting spells and controlling magical power can be taught by teachers.

In addition to studying magic, the practical classes also involve physical training and learning basic combat skills.

It is unreasonable to simply train mages to be mere turrets that can only stand still and unleash magic, in order to promote holistic development through quality education.

Ring ring...

As the bell rang, Peng Wanli closed his laptop on time and said with a smile, "Class, it's time for lunch. Try to eat your fill, because the practical class this afternoon won't be easy."

The students dispersed in a flurry, and Peng Wanli also left with his notebook.

"Teacher, wait a minute." Peng Wanli had only taken a few steps out of the classroom when he was stopped by a voice behind him.

Turning around, Peng Wanli was slightly surprised, but still smiled and asked, "Wang Yi, is there a problem?"

"Teacher, do you know which magical beast's magic crystal this is?" Wang Yi asked, taking out the magic crystal he had brought that morning.

"This is..." Peng Wanli pushed up his glasses, then took the magic crystal and examined it carefully, saying with some surprise, "It's actually the magic crystal of the Flame Cloud Qilin."

"The Flame Cloud Qilin?" Wang Yi asked curiously, "Is it a very powerful magical beast?"

"Of course!" Peng Wanli nodded, then explained, "The Flame Cloud Qilin is a high-level magical beast in its infancy, and it is basically an extraordinary magical beast after adulthood. Among the sacred beasts discovered so far, there are also Flame Cloud Qilin."

Peng Wanli stroked the magic crystal in his hand: "Judging from the condition of this magic crystal, it should be a high-level magic crystal, from the young Flame Cloud Qilin."

This magical beast mainly roamed the Abyss, but unfortunately, after the Abyss collapsed, the Flame Cloud Qilin became rarely seen, and its magic crystals became increasingly scarce, causing its price to increase more than tenfold.

At this point, Peng Wanli seemed to have become interested as well. He handed the magic crystal back to Wang Yi and then extended an invitation: "Come on, let's go have dinner together. I'll tell you about the Flame Cloud Qilin in detail."

Wang Yi naturally wouldn't refuse; that was precisely his goal.

It was only after seeing the various restrictions placed on mages in China last night that Wang Yi dared to do this.

At least under the Chinese system, in magic schools, there wouldn't be a situation like "a child carrying gold through a busy market".

Even a single high-level magic crystal wouldn't be this significant.

Wang Yi's decision to bring the magic crystal to school was certainly not simply to have a teacher identify the magical beast to which it belonged.

With the system's blessing, he knew better than anyone the magic contained in the magic crystals, but he wasn't very interested in which magical beast they originated from.

However, there are still doubts about the system's true capabilities, and some knowledge is needed to make inferences.

However, these things could not be found online, so Wang Yi wanted to subtly inquire with a professional teacher.

Wang Yi and Peng Wanli went to the office together, put down their computers, and then went to the cafeteria together.

It's lunchtime now, but the cafeteria is quite large, and the number of students at the magic high school isn't as high as in a regular high school, so it doesn't feel crowded.

Students and teachers were getting their meals, chatting, and eating in small groups in the cafeteria. When Wang Yi saw this, he immediately understood why the food in the cafeteria tasted so good.

Because, apart from the students, the school leaders and teachers actually eat in the same cafeteria as the students!

Wang Yi and Peng Wanli each ordered their favorite dishes, then found an empty table and sat facing each other, eating and chatting.

"When the Flame Cloud Qilin was first discovered, it was named so because this magical beast looked very much like the Qilin in our local legends, and because it was surrounded by flames and walked on clouds after releasing magic."

Peng Wanli took a bite of rice and, while eating, explained the magical beast to Wang Yi in detail.

Wang Yi wasn't actually very interested in the information about the Flame Cloud Qilin; he just needed to use this topic as a starting point to discuss what was to come.

As they chatted, Wang Yi felt like he'd seen a ghost. The teacher was eating and talking, yet it didn't affect his refined and scholarly demeanor at all.

What a refined and cultured middle-aged man; he'd probably be very popular with young girls.

In comparison, Wang Yi's eating manners were quite ordinary.

This made Wang Yi feel a little ashamed, and he even became a bit awkward in his sitting posture.

However, Wang Yi quickly relaxed, not because he deliberately adjusted his eating manners, but because a guy with even worse eating manners came over.

"Brother E, Teacher Peng, what are you talking about?"

Qi Xiaohao squeezed into Wang Yi's world with his plate, placing it next to Wang Yi and taking up two-thirds of the long side of the table.
