Magicians never make wishes

Chapter 129 This time it really won't work

"Now, I have banished the summoned skeletons to the realm of the dead—"

The Cursed Eye Instructor demonstrated and explained at the same time.

"Skeletons summoned by low-level monsters generally don't have very high intelligence, so the longer they are banished, the less likely they are to return."

"Basically, once a necromancer is promoted, especially a necromancer, if they summon a high-level undead creature, they will choose to banish it."

"High-level undead creatures possess greater intelligence and strength, allowing them to thrive in the undead realm without facing significant survival crises."

"At the same time, once a higher-level creature has subdued its subordinates, it can bring them back with it when you summon them."

At this point, the Cursed Eye Master added a remarkable anecdote: "The 204th headmaster of the Undead Kingdom once banished a powerful lich in his youth. Years later, when he summoned it back, he found himself commanding a lich army, which greatly increased his power, leading him to the path of immortality—"

The apprentices listened with great interest, wishing they could be the protagonists in the story.

"Regarding the issue of banished creatures subduing subordinates in the undead realm, I will explain its advantages and disadvantages in detail later —"

Now, you need to learn the spell "Necromantic Exile" first.

His tone changed, and he said, "From my demonstration just now, you should have noticed that the casting process and specific details of 'Necromantic Exile' are actually the exact opposite of the Summoning Skeleton spell. If you have already mastered the Summoning Skeleton spell, you can easily master 'Necromantic Exile'."

"In today's lesson, we have plenty of time to analyze this magic in detail for you in class."

"So—would anyone like to come up and demonstrate?"

As the Cursed Eye Instructor finished speaking, he swept his gaze across the entire lecture hall.

In an instant, a large number of freshmen lowered their heads in panic, not daring to meet his gaze, and some even pretended to be busy with other things.

The Cursed Eye Instructor seemed to have anticipated this situation, a cryptic smile playing on his lips. "Since no one's raising their hand, I'll have to call on someone, hehe—"

He picked up a list from the podium, which was originally a sign-in roster, but now seemed to have become a life-or-death book for the new students.

After all, understanding the theory is one thing, but putting it into practice is another.

The Cursed Eye Instructor didn't care what his apprentices thought.

His gaze swept back and forth across the roster, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Ferguson, please come up and demonstrate for everyone."

Ronan didn't see anyone stand up, which he found rather strange.

The next moment, Ba Quan stood up tremblingly.

"Master of Cursed Eyes, I'm not good enough—"

"Ferguson, be brave and try. Failure is nothing to be afraid of. I have corpses here specifically for demonstration purposes, so it won't consume your own resources."

As the Cursed Eye Master spoke, he took out another goblin corpse from his storage bag.

Since the instructor had said so, Baquan had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to the podium.

At that moment, he couldn't help but recall the scene from when they were in a team, where they tried to summon the ghoul's corpse, but none of them succeeded.

"Mentor, actually—I'm not even very proficient at the 'Skeleton Summoning' spell."

Once on stage, Ba Quan weighed the pros and cons and decided to be honest with his mentor.

To avoid not only embarrassing yourself, but also potentially being punished.

"Ferguson, we have plenty of time today. Come on, try out your 'Skeleton Summoning' spell first."

The spellcasting instructor gestured for the Overlord Fist to begin his demonstration.

Judging from this, he doesn't seem to be planning to change people easily.

"Skeleton Summoning Spell"

"Skeleton Summoning Spell"

"Skeleton Summoning Spell —"

Overpowering Fist repeatedly cast spells on the goblin corpse.

Inside the lecture hall, everyone stared intently, and no one laughed at him.

If they were called up to the stage, they might do even worse than Ba ​​Quan.

Ba Quan roared hysterically, his throat dry.

With each failure, his face grew paler and paler.

In addition to suffering a severe psychological blow, his mental strength was also being constantly depleted.

Seeing this, the spellcasting instructor couldn't help but remind him, "Ferguson, try to maintain a stable output of magic power and then cast the spell again."

Ba Quan nodded, clearly indicating that he was willing to listen to advice.

The Cursed Eye Master saw through his problem.

Ronan had previously summarized the reasons why Baquan and the others failed to cast spells, which coincided with the advice given by the Cursed Eye mentor at this time.

"Skull Summoning Spell!"

This time, following the advice of his mentor, the Curse Eye Master, the spell worked immediately.

The bones were extracted from the goblin's corpse and reassembled into a new goblin skeleton.

"I did it! I did it!"

Ba Quan's face, which had been ashen, regained its vitality.

"Very good, Ferguson."

The Cursed Eye Master nodded and smiled, "Then, please reverse the entire process you just successfully completed and try casting the spell."

Ba Quan's expression froze instantly.

This really stumped him.

After several attempts, he found the whole process to be bumpy and he couldn't even cast a spell.

This is like having just memorized an article and suddenly being required to memorize it backwards; a normal person simply cannot adapt to it in a short period of time.

"Mentor, I'm not really good at this—" Ba Quan said frankly.

His face showed no despair or resentment, only sincerity and earnestness.

This time it really won't work.

The Cursed Eye Master also saw through it, so he stopped pressing the matter.

Having just mastered the "Summon Skeleton" spell, it's quite challenging to have him completely reverse the casting process all at once.

"It's alright." The Cursed Eye Instructor waved his hand, signaling him to go back.

Ba Quan escaped as if he had been granted a pardon.

Immediately afterward, the Cursed Eye Instructor looked at the others and asked, "Anyone else want to come up and try? If not—"

There was still no response.

Everyone thought that the Cursed Eye Instructor would have to give up on this demonstration.

However, he said, "Then I'll continue taking attendance."

The apprentices' hearts jumped again.

This time, the Cursed Eye Instructor didn't look at the roster again, but instead let his gaze wander among the apprentices.

A moment later, his gaze settled on a girl, and he said, "Grina, you should have already mastered the Skeleton Summoning spell, right?"

The Cursed Eye Mentor chose a face he was familiar with.

Without looking at the roster, it's obvious he's not a freshman.

The girl was petite, with chestnut-brown hair that was styled in two braids.

Although he wasn't a freshman, he was sitting not too far from Ronan.

She stood up somewhat nervously, secretly glancing at Ronan's location, and answered softly, "Yes, mentor."

"Then, you will demonstrate the spell 'Necromancer Exorcism'."

To encourage her, the Cursed Eye Mentor led the way in clapping, and the others quickly realized what was happening and joined in, secretly relieved that they had escaped a calamity.

Grina walked quickly to the podium.

Her gaze seemed unfocused, yet every now and then, intentionally or unintentionally, it would sweep towards Ronan's position.
