magic high school

The two started their usual playful bickering and chaotic antics again, with Li Ge laughing on the side. Suddenly, he delivered another elbow strike.

However, Li Ge managed to defend this time, blocking the elbow strike with his hand and then countering with a backhand elbow!

"Hiss!" Xiaoye gasped.

"I told you not to elbow me!" Li Ge said irritably. "Now you know what it feels like to be suddenly elbowed, right?"

"Fine, I won't argue with your chuunibyou..." Xiaoye rubbed her side chest and asked, "You were stunned when you saw that chainsaw man before? Do you know him?"

Li Ge: "..."

We're more than just acquaintances; we're practically best friends.

In his previous life, when he was in college, he even joined a "board game club (Catch the Squid Club)". Li Ge thought it was a club for Werewolf or Three Kingdoms Kill, but he didn't expect that it taught German. The first benefit of joining the club was that they taught you the famous German song "Erika".

This school must have people from all over the world here! There might even be more than one.

"Is that thing from your hometown?" Xiaoye continued to guess.

Li Ge: "..."

Why have such a vivid imagination? Don't let yourself be able to guess your identity as a time traveler in a few days.

Seemingly having found the answer she was looking for, Xiaoye couldn't help but hum softly.

After leaving the arena, the group immediately became serious, stopping their playful antics and returning to normalcy. Although they were quite boisterous and chaotic in private, they appeared perfectly normal in front of others.

After the group participated in the remaining activities, when school was over, Yilian suddenly called everyone together and said, "I've gotten some information about the midterm exams!"

"!!!"

"Let me tell you, the midterm exam is supposedly a closed-loop system, meaning the school will set up a magic-free zone, preventing the use of any magical artifacts or spells. Even if you can use them, they'll only have visual and sound effects, with no destructive power whatsoever!" Yi Lian said excitedly.

"Then we're doomed?" Valerie jumped up immediately.

She was already craving the detached room in the Blue Dormitory and the small vegetable garden at the entrance. In fact, she had been dreaming about going into the Blue Dormitory these days and turning the area in front of the dormitory into farmland so that Li Ge could come and plant lots of vegetables and fruits.

She's working hard to develop her Noble Phantasm, and then you tell me this midterm exam is a magic-free exam?

what?

"Aren't we mages? Why does the school have to create this... anti-magic environment?" Li Ge had always felt that every exam scenario set up by the school had its educational significance.

Schools aim to do more than just assess students' learning progress; they also want to subtly teach students many things through exams.

For example, Chernobyl clearly teaches them about unity and sacrifice, while the last monthly exam taught them about the dangers of cults and the redemption of others.

But this time, why is it a ban on magic? Is it to teach them how to struggle when magic stops working?

This was indeed a huge blow to them. As everyone knows, the Noble Phantasm Department relies on rapid training, so after the ban on magic, their Noble Phantasms became like oversized toys, and they could only rely on their physical abilities...

In that case, it would be completely indistinguishable from traditional sciences and mystical disciplines.

"I don't know, but the information is definitely accurate. It's said that no matter how powerful a Noble Phantasm is, it's just a matter of sound and light effects in a magic-suppressing field. Sigh, it seems like our midterms are going to be in trouble." Yi Lian started to sigh.

"Have you found out exactly what it is?"

"If I could find out exactly what it is, then it wouldn't be intelligence, it would be a leak!" Yilian complained.

The good news is that they learned this crucial information in advance, although they only knew it was a magic-free exam, which means their training will now focus on physical and stamina development.

And we will strive to have someone advance to Tier 2 Hero level within a month.

……

For the next month or so, everyone trained step by step.

However, for some reason, countless sweet girls sent friend requests every day for the past month, but Li Ge really wasn't in the mood for them, so in the end she could only disable the friend function.

During occasional holidays, Li Ge or her friends would go to see Lola in the Academy City area.

Little Lola seemed to be showing signs of becoming the school's big sister, so Li Ge and the others felt relieved. Sometimes they would take her out for a meal, and when they had free time, they would bring her to the school to play during holidays.

He even took her to play a completely immersive virtual arena game.

The little girl had never seen anything like this before, and soon became addicted to the internet just like Li Ge, wanting nothing more than to drown in the virtual arena.

Li Ge even went to training during his holidays many times, to the point that he couldn't take it anymore, but he saw that the little girl was still engrossed in the arena, carrying a gun and shooting.

"Little Lola, stop playing video games and take a break." Li Ge disconnected her, and the little girl looked unhappy.

It felt like finding your own child in an internet cafe.

"When you get the chance to enter a magic academy, you'll have endless training every day," Li Ge said.

"Really? You guys are so lucky, uncles! I definitely want to go to a magic high school someday too!" Little Lola seemed even more excited.

Li Ge: "..."

If those people who cried and complained about training heard you say that, they'd probably vomit blood.

Soon, a month had passed. Yi Lian had already become a Tier 2 mage a few days ago. He was the highest-ranking mage among all the people, but the gap between them was gradually narrowing.

Li Ge dared to reach the level of a second-tier minor mage the day before the exam, and finally his body no longer craved spiritual energy so much, and gradually returned to a stable state.

Although Li Ge has not yet learned the second-tier spirit particle enhancement, which involves conditionally covering the body or objects in contact with the body with spirit particles to achieve a state of enhancement, enchantment, and strengthening.

However, this exam is a magic-free exam after all. It doesn't matter whether you learn Spirit Particle Enhancement or not. You can make up for it later. Spirit Particles can subtly enhance physical fitness. Having this passive effect is enough.

At this moment, a message popped up on the system.

[Ding! Congratulations to student Li Ge for officially advancing to a Tier 2 Junior Mage. Your monthly points will increase by 50.]

[Currently a Tier 2 Hero, your Noble Phantasm "The Fool's Mask" has been upgraded to LV2, adding a fixed comedic ability slot. From now on, when choosing a comedic ability, it will no longer be a fixed option; you will have two comedic abilities to choose from.]

Seeing this, Li Ge was truly excited. The clown mask was his real cheat, a formal Noble Phantasm. Although its random comedic abilities were somewhat abstract, it now had selectable options!

Resilient, invincible, the strongest!

Li Ge immediately became excited and wanted to choose a new fixed ability. The last fixed ability was Lion's Eye, which gave Li Ge the power of a normal counterfeit Noble Phantasm in his normal state.

And now, he is about to possess a second counterfeit Noble Phantasm-level ability.

In other words, when I reach Tier 3, will I have a third fake Noble Phantasm-level ability?

As expected, the genuine Noble Phantasm is far superior to the fake one.

He immediately opened the system to see his new abilities.

Option 1: Noble Phantasm - Enchanting Eyes.

Bewitching Eyes (can be fully integrated into the Lion's Eyes): Once activated, anyone who looks directly into your eyes will find themselves gradually becoming more attracted to you, until they are completely captivated by your charm and want to possess you, violate you, and ultimately humiliate you.

Cost: If you rely entirely on this ability to increase affection, the other person will automatically become a yandere and a womanizer. Use with caution.

Note: Beware of yandere and harem-loving characters!

Option 2: Noble Phantasm - Hypnotic Eyes.

Hypnotic Eyes (can be fully integrated into the Lion's Eye): Once activated, people who look directly into your eyes will gradually be hypnotized and persuaded by you, making them more likely to believe what you say and gradually increasing their trust in you, until they are completely dominated by your five senses and fall into illusion.

Cost: If you successfully hypnotize someone, you will be involved in the entire illusionary world they are in.

Note: With hypnosis, some people want to rule the three realms from heaven, while others only think about hypnotizing other people's wives and school beauties.

Li Ge: "..."

I feel like I've seen both of these abilities in some anime. Is this ability even legitimate? Are you planning to introduce something like time stop, blonde wigs, or control rings in the future?
