Magical Cat

Waver wasn't the only one glancing at Elaine; almost everyone standing at the target position witnessed the incredibly smooth casting process.

It's no wonder Waver lost his composure; they used wands to assist them, but their spellcasting still wasn't as smooth as Elaine's.

Sometimes, the gap in talent is so desperate that it cannot be bridged simply by throwing money at it.

Humans are like this, and so are magical beasts.

Most of the students in the class did not bring their own magical beasts.

Because young magical beasts are just a burden, they can't help at all, and apart from sucking their master's magic power, they have no other use at this stage.

But Lee Eun is an exception.

With just his passive skill of magical perception, he was able to wean early and even assist Elaine.

This is nothing short of a fantasy for most magical beasts.

For these poor souls who are going to be classmates with Elaine for three years, they are in for a lot of surprises in the future.

Elaine was unaware of the astonishment her classmates had caused by her smooth spellcasting; she was simply focused on the magical target in front of her.

Li En was able to replenish Elaine's magic power, but he didn't seem to be of much help in controlling the elemental spheres and hitting the target.

He could sense that Elaine was constantly channeling her mental energy into the elemental sphere, making the magic travel further until it hit the target.

But this is easier said than done.

Elaine's Elemental Ball's range has slowly increased with each attempt, from two meters at the beginning to more than three meters now.

It seems that hitting the target in the end is only a matter of time.

However, nowadays quite a few people are able to project magic more than five meters away.

While providing Elaine with magic, Li En looked up and glanced at the others who were shooting at targets.

All the people currently shooting at targets, except for Elaine, have magic wands for assistance.

Li En could sense that the small, withered twig-like objects in their hands contained a special magical aura, enabling them to guide the elements more smoothly.

To go forward and shoot, you must successfully cast the elemental ball spell with your bare hands.

They had already used their wands to assist them in this process, making it easier.

Even now, when they're shooting at targets, these people still use magic wands for assistance.

They used their wands to conjure elemental orbs, and then used the wands to guide the orbs forward.

The fastest person has already reached a distance of five meters, almost six meters, and is not far from hitting the target.

And this person was Weber.

Li En had some impression of this comical-looking big guy.

During the morning class, Weber made sarcastic remarks about Elaine.

Moreover, based on what he said at the time, he should be the former owner who abandoned Li En.

To Li En, Weber was just a stranger.

However, since this guy dared to speak rudely to Elaine, Li En naturally had to teach him a lesson.

After observing for a while, Li En realized that even with his own supply of magic, Elaine's progress would probably be difficult to surpass those of others who had the aid of a magic wand.

He immediately nuzzled Elaine's cheek gently with his head as a greeting, and then jumped off her shoulder.

Without Li En's assistance, Elaine felt quite uncomfortable for a while.

Elaine was about to call out to Li En when she discovered that he had already wagged his tail and walked silently toward the others.

Elaine blinked, looking a little nervous.

But when she saw that Li En was just standing at the feet of the other people, staring with a pair of curious eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief.

If you disturb someone else's spellcasting in class, they might use it as an excuse to cause trouble.

That will put Elaine and Melina in a difficult position.

Li En may look dazed, but he's actually quite clever and didn't cause himself any trouble.

Seeing that Li En was behaving himself, Elaine also turned her gaze away and continued to try shooting.

However, without Li En's assistance, her spellcasting speed slowed down.

Although it was somewhat difficult, Elaine knew that she couldn't always rely on Lee's help.

Ultimately, the mage's own abilities are the most important thing.

It was precisely because of this understanding that Elaine was not jealous of others having wands to assist them.

Perhaps a magic wand could be a temporary shortcut, but Elaine firmly believed that even through her own efforts alone, she could still become a truly great magician.

Elaine's eyes were unwavering as she chanted the spell for the elemental orb.

At the same time, Li En was not idle either.

He climbed down from Elaine's shoulder, not to watch the show.

Li En moved closer to the feet of the students beside him, his eyes fixed on the wands in their hands.

Through his magic perception skill, his sense of magic was reactivated.

Li En focused all his attention on the wand, observing how it assisted the user.

This extremely meticulous observation allowed Li En to clearly see the changes in magical energy around the wand.

As he observed, his eyes gradually brightened.

He carefully examined each student's wand before finally choosing one to rest at Webber's feet.

Waver's magic attribute is the same as Elaine's—fire.

Therefore, the wand in his hand is the most relevant reference for Li En.

But after looking for a while, the agitated Webber noticed Li En at his feet.

"Get lost, get lost, stop bothering me!"

After Webber's Elemental Sphere broke through the eight-meter mark, its progress suddenly slowed down, and it was overtaken by others.

My brain was also throbbing with pain from the drain on my mental energy.

Then he saw the small piece of trash he had thrown away at his feet.

Weber had used up a lot of rare materials to hatch Li En, but he ended up with such a trashy magical beast, which made him the target of ridicule from many people.

Now that I've thrown it away, it still dares to stick to me like a leech; it's disgusting.

Without a second thought, Weber raised his foot to kick Lee En away.

But Li En was prepared and nimbly dodged the attack before running towards Elaine.

"You little bastard, you tried to kick me! You'll regret this!"

Li En sneered, already having a plan in mind.

But just as he climbed back onto Elaine's shoulder, he heard a loud bang, and a magical target opposite him flashed a blinding red light.

This made Li En's heart sink. He had originally wanted Elaine to win first place, but unexpectedly someone else beat him to it.

"Tch, these punks have magic wands, what kind of skill is that?"

Li En subconsciously felt indignant for Elaine, only to discover that the one who hit the target was actually Elaine's bookish classmate.

He turned to look at Elaine, only to find her calm and undisturbed, continuing her attempt.

Just then, Ms. Melina's voice drifted over from afar.

"Wand spells do not count towards the score; spells must be cast empty-handed."

"Teacher, I know," Safina replied immediately.

The others were used to it and were not surprised.

Li En's eyes darted around, and then he remembered a detail.

Previously, when evaluating elemental ball spells, the success of casting them with bare hands was also considered.

Webber and the others only grasped the feeling of successfully casting a spell by using their wands first, and finally went to the target position after passing the assessment of casting a spell with their bare hands.

"It doesn't seem entirely unfair," Lee thought to herself.

Just then, Li En noticed that Safina's gaze, hidden behind her thick-rimmed glasses, was fixed on him with curiosity.

He immediately bristled and adopted a fierce posture.

"ha!"

Safina was so startled that she almost dropped her wand.
