Things about the female knight in black stockings

Valencia sat upright with great interest, and Chiba also widened her eyes with dark circles, staring at the five magic crystals, as if guessing which one was hers.

After a brief explanation, Xio picked up one of the five magic crystals without any further ink.

"First, No. 5, Ryan-san."

After looking at the descendant of the Sword Master with approval, Xio activated the magic crystal.

The eyes of others were also cast on Ryan at this moment. Ryan himself was quite calm. He was neither happy nor frustrated about the No. 5 result, and could not see any thoughts.

As the magic crystal began to operate, a magic projection about two meters in diameter appeared in front of the classroom.

Just like the most popular martial arts action movies, the projection begins with a fierce battle, with hundreds of heavily armed police members besieging one person.

It was Ryan.

He fully demonstrated to everyone what it means to be a descendant of the Sword Master. A long sword that looks ordinary is like a magical weapon in his hand, like electricity and magic. Each sword can kill people with a single blow with minimal consumption.

While more than 30 first-year students in the Advanced Soldier Department were stunned, Ryan's battle lasted for three full days.

First it was the garrison, then it was the city defense army, then it was the private soldiers of the nobles and adventurers, and finally it was ordinary people who were unlucky.

In the past three days in the fantasy city, Ryan did not do any fancy plots and tricks. He just chopped with a sword from head to tail, killing almost all the armed personnel in the fantasy city.

Can't do it, really can't do it.

The students looked at it and shook their heads... Since the difficulty of setting up the fantasy city is very low, the strongest person in the city is only a candlelight level. It is no problem to kill most people in the city with unparalleled power.

But such high-intensity continuous fighting for three days is not enough. In fact, many people will be exhausted if they can't hold on for even half a day.

Valencia didn't think she was that durable, so she kept observing Ryan's movements carefully when watching the magic projection, and even used enhanced senses.

A little gain, but not much.

Valensa was still a little confused as to what exactly happened. She could only roughly tell that Ryan used an extreme technique.

"Is this the secret of your sword master lineage, classmate Ryan?"

With an appreciative smile, Valencia looked at Ryan:

"It's amazing."

"Classmate Valencia received the award. Actually, this is not a secret."

Ryan smiled calmly, with the style of a master:

"Use the least consuming movements to attack the most fatal weakness, and at the same time adjust your breathing so that you can recover a small amount of physical strength in each movement gap, that's all.

It sounds difficult, but as long as you train more and make these become body instincts, it is something that can be done with hard work...it is considered a basic skill of our family. "

So your family is the Sword Saint family!

You've got it.

Valencia was vomiting in her heart, but she could only continue to smile on her face.

At this moment, the magic projection that had been played to the end also officially ended.

"……how to say."

After putting away Ryan's magic crystal, Xio's tone was a little complicated:

"To be honest, even I didn't expect that someone could get into the top five in this way... but this is also the most unsolvable of the various situations we will face in the future.

The enemy is overwhelmingly powerful. Even if we risk our lives and use all our methods, we can't even delay the enemy's footsteps and buy time.

Combat crushing is the simplest and most effective of all carnival-level crimes.

Such incidents happen rarely, but not without...most of them occur in some remote villages and towns where daily life is relatively peaceful. Those villages and towns lack experts, and often a star or even a lighthouse can be created by completely letting go and killing like crazy. A massive tragedy with no survivors. "

"..."

There was silence in the classroom for a moment.

After a long while, a boy dressed in a slightly rustic manner raised his hand:

"Then what should we do if we encounter this situation, Teacher Xiu? Do we want to be like the members of the garrison and the soldiers of the city defense army in the projection just now, knowing that we are losing but still loyal to the kingdom?"

"……Do not."

Xio shook his head, his expression suddenly very serious:

"You must draw your sword and charge in the face of an invincible enemy. This is the bravery that ordinary soldiers need. You, the leading soldiers, have a more important responsibility in this situation..."

Xio did not state the answer directly, but looked around the classroom, and finally landed on Valencia:

"Chief student, what do you think? As the most talented top soldier student in a century, evaluated by many teachers, what would you do if you encountered this situation?"

"I will find a way to survive first."

Valencia answered without any hesitation:

"If I have the opportunity, I will also observe the enemy as much as possible to confirm his strongest fighting method and his possible weaknesses to collect intelligence for subsequent victory."

"Wise judgment."

Xio nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the boy who just asked the question:

"Do you understand? As a leading soldier, of course you need courage, but more importantly, you need wisdom and a view of the overall situation.

Many times, in order to achieve tactical or even victory in war, we must endure disastrous defeats in battle. "

Chapter 157 Chief Student, what do you think?

Do you think about the overall situation...

Xio's words made everyone think deeply.

As a tactical unit that often operates alone or in small groups, vanguard soldiers have a high degree of independent judgment authority on the battlefield.

In this case, looking at the overall situation is indeed very important.

The success or failure of a war is often determined by the details of each battle, and in many cases victory in a local battle does not bring an advantage to the war, and vice versa.

For example, sometimes an unplanned raid may be able to wipe out a small group of local enemies, but it will frighten most of the enemy's main force, causing them to change their route and avoid the ambush encirclement.

Sometimes, multiple local battle failures are just to test the enemy and collect intelligence so that they can be fully prepared to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

After letting everyone digest the insights gained from Ryan for a while, Xio picked up a magic crystal again and activated it:

"Next is No. 4, Herleman-san."

Everyone's eyes turned to a handsome red-haired boy by the window. Harry, who was sitting in front of him, turned around and gave him a high-five to express congratulations.

This red-haired boy Valencia is no stranger to him either. He is Harry's new friend after entering the academy. He has also chatted with Valensa and the others several times during recess.

Herleman is also an elemental mage, and his strength is similar to Harry's in all aspects. The two often compete in cultivation together, and they are both friends and rivals.

Unlike Harry, who specializes in fire, ice, and wind, Herleman majors in fire magic and knows how to set fire most efficiently. He also knows some wind magic, all to assist the fire element.

So before the projection of the magic crystal was completely generated, most students had already guessed what would happen in Herleman's virtual city.

really.

From the very beginning, the projected image was full of fire, as if the whole city was burning, and people's shouts and cries were heard.

The virtual city in the fantasy world is similar to King Fran in this regard. Whether civilians or nobles, most of the houses they live in are made of wood, and they are very afraid of fire.

Herleman took his arson talent to the extreme, lighting fires everywhere in the virtual city, and constantly using wind spells to spread the flames. In the end, almost half of the city was burning, and it burned all night long.

Countless people were turned into foam in the fire, and even more died from the smoke.

Herleman's arson in one night was more than the number of people killed by Ryan in three days of sleepless nights.

Unfortunately, Herleman's endurance was not good. On the second day, he was unable to continue setting fires due to excessive consumption of magic power. He was also chased everywhere by the virtual city's security team, and he spent the next two days running for his life.

The projection playback of No. 4 ends here.

"It's really a coincidence... I obviously didn't arrange it specially, but the methods of your top five are all quite representative."

Xio chuckled and put away the magic crystal, while summarizing the case of Herleman:

"Fire can be said to be the starting point for human civilization, and it is also a common disaster that has caused various losses to human beings from the beginning. Human beings have often battled wits and courage with flames.

Today in the Kingdom of France, almost every town has a magician who specializes in the water system. Other spells may not be very good, but rain spells are the only ones that are very skilled and are specially used to fight fires.

The vast majority of fires caused by accidents and arson by ordinary people will not cause any trouble in front of these magicians who specialize in putting out fires... In most cases, as soon as there is a little flame, it will be brought by the rain spell. extinguished by torrential rain.

But just like Herleman, there will always be some geniuses among human beings who are very knowledgeable about how to set fires efficiently. They are the main force behind enemy lines on the battlefield, interspersed with destruction of wild animal supplies and food and grass transportation.

Unfortunately, not everyone uses their talents to benefit society, such as carnival revelers who often harm others without benefiting themselves.

You should all have heard of Reveler Firestone. He is currently the craziest and most vicious arsonist in the continent of Frenoia. Less than half of the city and more than ten villages and towns were reduced to ashes in his hands.

According to the information currently available, Huo Shi is not only a star-level magician who majors in the fire system, but also a very powerful alchemist.

A soft solid he researched by himself is an extremely efficient combustion accelerant, which can make large blocks fall into flames in the blink of an eye. It can also make the flames no longer afraid of water, and even explode after contacting water, causing greater damage.

So here comes the question... If you encounter a dangerous arsonist like Flint, what can you do to stop the fire? "

How to control a fire that can instantly cover a city block and is not afraid of water...

This question seemed quite difficult. The students were all frowning and thinking, and the classroom was silent for a while.

Xio squinted her eyes and waited for a few minutes. When no one answered, she named Valencia again:

"Chief student, what do you think?"

Valencia, who had expected this, sighed:

"I don't know much about alchemy, and I don't know how to stop that special accelerant... but I know that to solve any problem, we should start from the source... so I will find a way to kill the arsonist first.

Just like Mr. Herleman, although the magician who majors in the fire system is extremely destructive, his own defense and endurance are relatively weak... If he attacks by surprise, there is still a chance even if the opponent is very strong. "

"Hmm...that's a decent answer."

Xio frowned slightly and nodded:

"According to your method, it may be possible to solve the fire from the source, but the fire that has already occurred will also cause huge damage, so it is not the best answer.

If you think about it again, if you don’t know about the fire itself and the unknown accelerant, is there really no way to prevent it? "

It's still possible to stop it, but it's definitely very dangerous.

Valencia vomited in her heart.

As a time traveler from technological civilization, she knows how dangerous chemical fires are. Explosions when exposed to water are only the most common ones. Those poisonous gases that kill people invisible after burning are even more terrifying... Therefore, firefighters have always been a part of technological civilization in peacetime. The occupation with the highest death rate.

So if there is such a fire, Valencia would like to stay away from the fire and only help people evacuate or try to kill the arsonist. The fire itself should be handled by more capable people.

But if Xio insists on giving an answer from Valencia, it’s not like Valensa can’t give it.

She pretended to think for a while before answering again:

"Different combustion accelerants will give the flame different characteristics. It is very dangerous to mess with it... but it is not completely impossible.

As far as I know, Frenoa's flames are actually divided into two categories. One is the manifestation of fire-attribute magic power. This kind of flame is the purest and the best to solve.

The second type of flame is a natural phenomenon. It has different properties depending on the combustion conditions. In some cases, it can be very dangerous, but there are still common weaknesses. "

Chapter 158 Did you peek at my lesson plan?

"The first is pure magic flame composed of fire elements."

Seeing that Xio had no intention of stopping her, Valencia continued:

"This kind of flame is actually the best to deal with. In most cases, it can be dealt with with a dispersion spell, or a fire magician can absorb the fire magic. At worst, it can be neutralized with other elemental magic.

There is also a misunderstanding here, that is, the two attributes of water and fire restrain each other in the common sense of many people. Strictly speaking, this is actually wrong... Any two different magic elements can react and cancel each other out, but the performance of water and fire is the most intense and intense when they collide. It's just obvious.

Therefore, in the face of pure magical flames, the best countermeasure has never been water attribute coverage, but dispersion.

This is also the main reason why although there are many magicians who are good at fire-based magic, there are not many who are as good at arson as Herleman-san.

Arson also requires talent and skill. Magic flame is a good ignition source, but it is much worse than natural fire when used to cause fire. "

"Well, that's a very correct understanding. As expected of you, chief student."

Xio nodded with satisfaction, without any stingy appreciation, and then asked:

"As you said, pure magical flames are indeed easy to deal with, but fires that really cause heavy losses are often natural fires with various characteristics... Did you say before that these natural fires also have common weaknesses?"

"Yes."

Valencia smiled confidently, and the temperament she instantly revealed was particularly charming, making almost all the male classmates look obsessed, and many female classmates also subconsciously rubbed their legs.
