Magical Cat

boom--

The golden light flashed again, and seeing that it was the same familiar target, everyone's hearts sank.

Once or twice is one thing, but three times in a row is beyond the explanation of luck.

As time went on, more and more people landed spell critical hits, but the number of times they accumulated was still very small.

Elaine landed her third spell critical hit, securing the lead.

After delivering the critical hit, Elaine sat down to meditate again, recovering her composure and remaining calm and collected.

Seeing this, many people secretly sized up Elaine.

"It seems she only fires one fireball at a time, and then sits down to meditate."

"Is it to maintain peak condition?"

"Could this be the secret to her consistently devastating attacks?!"

The public has shifted from questioning Elaine to analyzing her every move.

To be honest, who doesn't want excellent reviews?

Moreover, if you perform well in this class, you may even receive special instruction from Ms. Melina.

This is an irresistible temptation for all students.

And Safina was naturally among those observing Elaine.

It should be said that Safina was the first person to seriously observe Elaine.

Ever since discovering that Elaine's magical beast was unusual, Safina had been looking for opportunities to observe it up close.

It's just a pity that Li En was very fierce to her, and all she did was breathe on her.

Thinking about this, Safina couldn't help but feel wronged.

But this lesson finally led her to some discovery.

Safina adjusted her thick glasses, her gaze fixed firmly on Lee En's figure.

Actually, her glasses are a magical item that not only provides attribute bonuses but also has many practical abilities.

One of his abilities is the ability to vaguely observe the flow of magic.

Safina adjusted her glasses. She had clearly seen that Li En also possessed obvious magical power, which was being injected into Elaine's body in a rhythmic and melodic manner.

If Safina is right, this is the secret to Elaine's ability to land three critical hits in a row.

As a top student, Safina already had the answer in her heart.

"By infusing enough magic power, the magic can deal damage far exceeding normal levels, thus achieving a critical hit."

And that cat had a magic wand-like effect…

Safina also has a wand, but she uses it less often in class.

Moreover, unlike other students who only knew how to use wands but didn't understand their principles, she had a very solid theoretical foundation. Therefore, she knew what the special rhythm and cadence meant when Li En infused Elaine with magic.

Safina's calm mind had already given her the answer, but her racing heartbeat clearly rejected this rationality.

"But how is that possible?"

"The juvenile magical beasts have no support abilities at all, and that cat's magical power is also wrong; it's almost as strong as some students."

"Magic power far exceeding that of a child, wand-like auxiliary abilities, and perfect harmony with the master during spellcasting..."

The more Safina thought about it, the more excited she became. Her heart pounded like a war drum, trying to shatter the established theories and perceptions in her mind.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to a confident top student.

Safina's hand trembled slightly as she adjusted her glasses, and one incomprehensible "why" after another surfaced in her mind.

The fact that Li En was abandoned by Weber had already spread throughout their grade, so Li En's incubation time could be determined with certainty.

Even the fastest-growing magical beasts may pass through their juvenile stage within a few days, not to mention that Li En was once abandoned.

Safina felt her brain trembling slightly; her immense thirst for knowledge kept her eyes glued to Li En.

The more she looked at Li En, the more she couldn't help but think of her magical beast.

Although Safina's magical beasts are of excellent quality and have extraordinary potential, they can only ask her to replenish their mana; they can't do anything else.

This is why other students, unlike Elaine, don't bring magical beasts to class.

If, during practical classes like this, magical beasts were crying out for mana to replenish, it would be a real headache just to think about it.

Compared to his own magical beast, Li En was already able to provide Elaine with such assistance.

It's true that comparison breeds trouble, and contrast breeds disdain.

While Safina was observing Lee, Barbara was also observing her.

Seeing her biggest potential rival standing at the shooting range staring blankly at Elaine made Barbara breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt a little unhappy.

From the moment she arrived for this practical class, Safina hadn't given her a second glance.

"So what if you beat me by luck once? What's there to be so smug about!"

A complex mix of emotions surged within Barbara, a mixture of resentment and jealousy.

But when asked who she was jealous of, Barbara couldn't say for sure whether it was Safina or Elaine.

The practical lesson continued in an eerie atmosphere.

The training ground was much quieter than before, but everyone's mood did not improve at all.

Apart from Lee Eun and Elaine.

Meditation, critical hit, meditation, critical hit...

The human and the cat worked together like a precise machine, executing perfect teamwork time and time again, making the target on the other side glow with golden light.

Li En also confirmed that as long as the fireball spell is infused with enough magic, the target will light up with golden light.

The so-called spell critical strike isn't as mysterious as it sounds.

Of course, this applies to Lee En and Elaine.

For others, spell critical hits are purely based on luck, because they simply don't have the possibility of compressing double the magic power after casting a fireball.

Even Safina, the top student with the most solid theoretical foundation and the highest level of magic, is no exception.

Unless she uses her wand for assistance, but then her shot wouldn't count as a score.

As Elaine unleashed spell critical strikes with a slow but determined rhythm, Waver's expression grew increasingly grim.

No one cares about the bet between the two anymore.

The outcome is already quite obvious, isn't it?

Webber has been working himself to the bone and has only managed two spell critical hits so far, while Elaine is almost at the standard for an excellent rating.

This was after Webber secretly drank two bottles of magic potion halfway through.

These two magic potions together are worth one gold coin.

Waver still had magic potions on him, but he didn't plan to drink any more.

The magic potion can only restore his magic power, but it cannot guarantee that he will land a critical hit.

Even if he drank all the magic potions, he still had no hope of turning the tide.

Weber looked dejected, glanced at Elaine, but quickly looked away.

The commoner girl in the faded magic robe school uniform struck him as particularly jarring.

Weber couldn't help but recall the series of questions Melina had asked him earlier, and suddenly he didn't even feel angry anymore.

"What noble or commoner? In the world of magicians, I'm just a piece of trash weaker than her."

At that moment, Weber even wished he wasn't a nobleman.

If that were the case, perhaps it wouldn't be as painful as it is now.

Regardless of what others thought, Elaine continued to repeat her actions, and the target kept flashing with golden light, making everyone feel increasingly numb.

Finally, just an hour and a half into the class, Elaine successfully landed her tenth spell critical hit.

"Eleanor, you were the first to complete the class assignment. Excellent!"

Melina announced the same result as the previous lesson.

No one was surprised by this result, because they had become numb after an hour and a half.

Many students with solid theoretical knowledge guessed the secret behind Elaine's critical strike, but they just couldn't do it.

At the same time, the best result besides Elaine's was Safina's five times.

She could only try her best to compress her magic and increase the probability of her spells hitting critically, but she was no match for Elaine, who had Li En's assistance.

But then, Melina dropped a bombshell, severely shocking her apathetic classmates.

"Eleanor, I am very satisfied with your performance in these two practical lessons."

"Come to my office at 8 a.m. on Saturday. There is a special two-day lecture for you."
