It's weird to apply for Witch Academy as a boy

Six seconds!

What is this concept?

There are five batches in total at the beginning of the trial, and there is time in between. Is this just bombing the land in reverse?

What level of combat power is this?

Thinking of this, I swallowed my saliva subconsciously, and all my previous confidence disappeared. It turns out that Witch Academy still has hidden talents...

I may not be able to get through all five levels within at least six seconds, and I can't do it in the Fire Rain Field either.

Although I should be able to do it within ten seconds if I try hard, I really may not be able to do it within such a time limit.

I swallowed subconsciously, closed the ranking list, and then opened the Infinite Trial kill count ranking list. The count here is based on the highest number in a single trial.

And the first page in the front row is filled with numbers in the millions!

This is a million... The first thing that came to my mind was the "Book of All Laws"!

But everyone's magic source has an upper limit. Even if we take the maximum of 10,000, killing a million means that on average the utilization rate of one point of magic can reach the level of killing ten undead!

Even with recovery potions, charged alchemical items, etc., this is still impressive.

Killing millions...the number alone is intimidating.

Once the endless trial begins, the only result is to be forced to exit the secret realm, with no turning back.

I closed my eyes and thought for a while, then opened my eyes, looked at the words "Endless Trial", and clicked "Start" without hesitation.

After all, I still underestimated this trial secret realm. If the endless trial is counted, then the number of people who have passed this secret realm is "0". It is worthy of being called the trial secret realm number zero, and it is very suitable for practicing some things in it.

Only this kind of pressure can perhaps bring me new inspiration.

Chapter 262: In fact, you have nothing since you entered school

When the source of mana is limited and cannot be restored infinitely, you will be faced with two choices when facing a massive and endless stream of enemies.

Either do more things with very little energy, or kill more enemies quickly in an instant to achieve a deterrent effect.

Both of these options cannot avoid one concept, that is, energy utilization.

Speaking of utilization rate, without any magical modification, the ones that come to mind are naturally the transformation spell and the summoning spell. At this moment, I chose the summoning spell, but not the Shadow Legion summoning spell, but another spell.

My spell library is now growing. In addition to the new spell books, there are two summoning spells that I haven't used for a long time, namely the civet cat summoning spell and the falcon summoning spell.

I have always underestimated the summoning technique of civet cats. After the civet cat enters the combat state, the force of its attack is terrifyingly high. Its sharp claws blessed with extraordinary power can subdue an undead with a single heavy blow.

Of course, I still remember that the fireball I tried at that time couldn't kill a single undead. The civet cat's precise killing was in stark contrast to the effect of the fireball I threw out.

At this moment, the undead in the trial secret realm continue to emerge, which is somewhat different from the scene I expected that was like a sea of ​​skeletons. Instead, skeletons continue to emerge from the ground intermittently, which shows a certain speed of monster emergence.

If you don't consider the consumption issue, theoretically, as long as your killing speed is faster than the speed at which monsters appear, you will be safe.

I am using summoning magic at this moment to also buy time for myself.

As time goes by, I can feel that the speed at which skeletons appear is increasing little by little. So even if I have infinite magic power, there will always be a moment when I will be overwhelmed by the undead.

So I must constantly improve my methods and skills to suppress the local forces. This was my original idea.

When the Fireball Technique, which I had already fully mastered, took a step further and reached the level of Rune Ritual, I felt a wider territory originating from the Fireball Technique.

However, faced with such a huge leap, I felt a sense of powerlessness. This wider territory should have given me a new way to master the fireball technique, but I had a fatal flaw that I could not overcome.

That is, mental power cannot control magic power.

At this stage, my use of various magic powers in the spell book, whether it is resonance or conversion rate, is based on the structure of the spell book platform.

At this moment, I feel as if I have reached a state where the sky is high and birds can fly freely, and then I find out that I am not a bird and I don’t have wings to fly. It’s so embarrassing.

But there are ways to play without wings, and mental strength is something that cannot be rushed. Whether it's potions or magic potions, improving mental strength cannot be achieved overnight. It's like giving birth to a child, you can't ask ten women to give birth to a child for you in a month, right?

I continued to fight using fireball as an example, and I also took out and activated the portable geomantic system that I hadn't used for a long time.

Now I am going to reconstruct the previous Fireball spellbook model. It will no longer be a structural modeling, but a reconstruction based on rune rituals.

This means that many previous things need to be overturned and started over again, but I don’t feel sad, because now I understand that those previous things are already obsolete to me.

Although it may be a bit hectic to do this during a battle, this is also the time to fully mobilize your whole body and attention.

This state is also the one that is most likely to generate inspiration.

"There's a huge gap between a single spell and the spells in the spell book..."

At this moment, I recalled my previous attempt to construct a spell ritual independently without a spell book. Although the released fireball only produced some sparks, it at least proved that the method was correct.

But it is obvious that the spells constructed from the rituals of runes in the spellbook are more complex than simple spells.

From the beginning to now, apart from the reason of insufficient energy supply, I have always felt that this is another reason why the spell book can release normal spells.

But when I rebuilt on the leyline system and took it out separately, I found something was wrong.

This seems to be a spell book "limiter" wrapped in layers of runes!

At least such a rune ritual cannot protect against my Floating World-level clairvoyance, but I can’t open it either.

It seemed like it constituted a kind of ritual that required me to meet certain conditions before it could be opened.

This thing that is right in front of me but cannot be touched is a complete slap in the face for someone like me who claims to have fully understood the fireball spell book.

The Fireball spellbook I used turned out to be incomplete?

But based on my current superficial understanding of runes, such a combination ritual seems to be quite different from the limiter. But the existence of such a rune in the spell book that is completely useless at this stage can't be a tumor, right?

Or is it that the guy who created the spell book has a problem with his brain?

No one is a fool, and the person who creates the spell book is even less of a fool.

Therefore, the fool can only be me.

At this moment, I have discovered something more important than constantly killing enemies and stimulating spiritual light. That is to try to destroy this ritual rune and see what kind of secrets are contained in this spell book.

This is something I have never seen before, and it is well worth a try. After all, it is just a basic-cost evocation spellbook.

Thinking of this, I didn't do anything else but started to use my mental power to interfere in various ways. However, everything ended in failure in the end. Even the guiding clairvoyance of the Floating World level was useless at this moment.

The rune didn't respond until I imported magic power.

As long as there is a reaction, it means that I am on the right path, but soon I was hit again. Continuous energy supply can indeed activate this rune, but the spell book cannot withstand such a torment.

The last fireball spellbook that I destroyed is still vivid in my mind, but I still didn't give up, and kept pushing the fireball spell to its ultimate limit, and that rune seemed to have reached its final limit.

It seems that as long as I cross this limit, this rune will be unlocked by me.

This is a joke!

If we go further, the spell book will explode, and there is definitely no need to unlock the rune, so is this still a dead end?

I was stuck in a dead end and I reacted instantly. Usually at this point, you have to break down before you build up again.

But... I don't have the ability to restore this spell book to its original state after it breaks...

Giving up on this idea, I completely transformed the wasted magic power into the destructive power of fireball and threw it directly into the pile of skeleton monsters. The horrific fireball exploded and blew up several undead in an instant. Just regard it as my last gift to these undead before I leave, a huge fireball.

And I am also ready to exit the secret trial realm.

After all, I haven't forgotten why I came to the Trial Secret Realm, which was to "stretch my muscles" and try to see if understanding the runes would generate new sparks in my spell book modification skills.

There is something that Teacher Ji Niang said very well. If I find something more important than the current thing, then I will do it without looking back.

Just like the week I disappeared, who would have thought that I had simply learned the basics of runes?

And now, I seem to have found the door that makes the spellbook more powerful, but I lack the key.

Now... the only one who can answer this question for me is probably Teacher Ji Niang, right?

Before I quit, I have to take some loot.

Of course, the so-called spoils of war were not the bones, rotten wooden shields, or rusty swords, but the stone tablets.

The stone tablet is very different from those tombstones in the wilderness, and it is engraved with unknown notes and records.

After taking away all the magic power, the Trial Secret Realm will no longer produce magic power sources this week. Instead, it will be replaced by other rewards, and these engraved texts are one of them.

After finishing the photo shoot with my mobile phone, I left without any regrets.

I glanced at the time and it was already late. After all, I had spent most of the day reading in the library and had also wasted a lot of time in the trial secret realm. I hoped that Teacher Ji Niang was still here.

If it really doesn't work, I don't mind asking her on the phone, but asking this way is still not as clear as asking in person.

Soon, I rode the broom to the teaching building.

"Oh? You finally came to see me? You've been missing for a few days. How did you gain from the library?" Teacher Ji Niang asked as she saw me push open the door of her office, as casually as if we were chatting about family matters.

"The harvest is not bad. At least now, when I see common runes, I can roughly recognize them, and I can also recognize many combination patterns." I responded simply.

After all, I haven't visited Teacher Ji Niang these days, and I don't know if Teacher Ji Niang misses me. Her big spell book project has not made any progress because of me.

But maybe it’s precisely because Teacher Ji Niang is an extraordinary witch with immortality that there is really no rush now?

"Really? But I still want to say that some knowledge is yours only if you learn it by yourself. Tell me, why do you come to me again?" Teacher Ji Niang threw away the pen in her hand, leaned back in her office chair, looked at me and asked lazily.

"Um... well, I want to ask you something about the spell book."

"It's the spell book again. You don't have any new ideas on the spot, do you? Let me make it clear in advance that the spell book on your memory bookshelf was a special case. I will not help you complete other spell books in the future unless you have a legitimate reason." Teacher Ji Niang said seriously at this moment. She didn't want to be Xiao Han's employee. If it was for improving her strength, she would definitely not help.

"No, I don't want you to help me modify some spell book. I have a serious question to ask, but it's also about the spell book, and it's the fireball spell book." I shook my head quickly and said.

"Fireball?"

After hearing this answer, Ji Niang also became curious. Didn't she remember that Xiao Han had already played around with the Fireball spell book? Why was she fighting with the Fireball spell book again?

"Tell me, you don't have much time. It's already this late and I have to get off work, or I have already gotten off work, do you understand?" Teacher Ji Niang looked at the time on her mobile phone and said to me.

"I understand...it's like this." I nodded quickly and told Teacher Ji Niang about my previous discovery in the secret realm.

However, Teacher Ji Niang's face darkened as she listened to my description, and then turned into a strange look.

"Okay, stop for a moment. I roughly understand what I am thinking." Teacher Ji Niang stretched out her hand to stop me.

"Got it?" I stopped immediately. When I heard what Teacher Ji Niang said, I was delighted. It turned out that it was right to seek help from a teacher when encountering problems!

"First of all, let me correct one thing. This is indeed not a limiter as you guessed. There will be no such thing in a spell book unless it is used for special purposes." Ji Niang said.

"Secondly, congratulations on touching upon a concept that you are not qualified to touch upon now."

"You now have two choices. One is for you to ignore it and pretend that nothing happened, just like the original [Field]. The second is for me to tell you about it and dispel your curiosity. Since I'm giving you the second choice, it's because I think there will be no surprises if I tell you now."

"Um... since you, teacher, have said so, I will definitely choose the second one." I said helplessly. If I have the chance to understand it, I will definitely find out about it.

"Okay, I guess this is what you chose too... Before talking about this, let's lay the groundwork for something off topic." Ji Niang cleared her throat and said to me seriously.

"How do you think the extraordinary powers you are exposed to at Witch Academy should be classified?"

"Dividing into levels?" I fell into deep thought over this question raised by Teacher Ji Niang.

Because I don't know how to divide the levels. Is it based on the number of mana sources? But this is just the mana source, representing the blue bar, not the strength. If the level does not represent the division of strength or other things, then the level is meaningless just by simply stacking numbers and dividing them into stages. At least that's what I think.

"I see the answer from your tangled look. One point of magic power is an entry-level witch, ten points is a primary witch, one hundred points is an intermediate witch, one thousand points is a high-level witch, and ten thousand points is a quasi-witch. This is the widely circulated level division in the academy."

"Ah? Is it really based on the number of magic sources...wait, widely circulated?" I was shocked by what Teacher Ji Niang said at this moment, but besides being shocked, I also grasped the key words. Teacher Ji Niang never says imprecise nonsense.

"It's a tradition that has been passed down for a long time, but the academy adopted this division method because it is also convenient for the academy. However, no matter how many magic sources they have, all students are witches in our eyes."

“So there’s no point, right?” I confirmed.

"Yes, it doesn't make sense to us, but it does make sense to the School of Management. You don't have to worry about it. This kind of thing is just something students show off to each other. We teachers know what is important and what is not."

"Ah."

I nodded. Teacher Ji Niang's explanation made me feel relieved. At least this matter made me feel casual and absurd.

"You look relieved. What are you afraid of? Does the classification of the extraordinary levels still require your consent? You don't have the ability to do that yet." Teacher Ji Niang gave me a brief lecture and then spoke again, "But when you reach the extraordinary, or the void outside the world, the classification of levels is indeed directly related to the amount of energy you have. This energy refers not only to the source of magic power, but also to many other things."

"But... the size of energy does not determine strength..."

"It does have an impact, but that refers to qualitative change. The quantity stacking before the qualitative change has no impact."

"So don't be overwhelmed by the number of magic sources you have now! I should have told you that the spell books do not belong to you, and the magic sources do not belong to you either, because at this moment they are just items that you can exchange at any time, not powers that you control. They are just a handy tool for you." Teacher Ji Niang's tone became serious when she said this.

"Things that are not yours are just external objects after all. When the magic source was first introduced into the Witch Academy for teaching, it was just a tool for witch transformation. It was only later added to spell books that gave students the ability to cast spells. Only then did students have the current situation of holding multiple magic sources. From the beginning to the end, the magic source and spell books were not powers that you controlled yourself, but teaching tools, tools that you needed to become extraordinary witches."

"Ah."

"From your expression, you should have figured out the key to this even if I don't tell you, so I won't waste any more words on this." Teacher Ji Niang glanced at me and went straight back to the topic.
