Ch. 103 - Tae-Ryung’s Divine Art(6)

After the completion of the second round of exams, a new subject was added to the curriculum: "Magic Practical Training."

From this point forward, they were immersed in a plethora of practical subjects, and Baek Yu-Seol must admit that it was filled with all sorts of tedious tasks.

For someone like him, who found solace in dozing off at his desk, the increased workload was undoubtedly disheartening.

Standing at the heart of Stella Dome, Instructor Hanwol addressed the Class S students.

"Assemble here, those who have united under the sacred belief and duty to eradicate dark magic, for you have become true magic warriors. However, not all warriors have held steadfast to their beliefs. Some may choose to betray the magical realm and succumb to a life of crime, while others might find themselves in conflicts between territories and nations, leading to battles between mages."

He continued, "Regardless of the circumstances, if you live as magic warriors, there will come a time when you cannot avoid facing fellow warriors in combat. To prepare for such situations, you shall now undergo Mage Duel Training."

Suppressing a smirk, Baek Yu-Seol tried to maintain a composed demeanor.

As someone who typically loathed attending classes, this one, however, seemed rather appealing.

After all, magic duels, akin to PvP in gaming terms, were his forte during his gaming days.

He relished the thrill of hunting down dark mages and engaging in intense duels in the virtual world.

"In this training, Instructor Han will guide you on various strategies for magic battles and teach you how to wield magic effectively to secure victory."

Drawing a comparison to the game "Aether World," this phase felt akin to advancing through a main storyline quest, gradually leading them to the "Online Server Duel Arena."

It was like a tutorial, offering valuable tips for excelling in magical battles.

A few days ago, he might have felt a lack of confidence in breaking through a magic shield due to insufficient offensive power.

However, things had changed now.

With the acquisition of Tae-Ryung’s Technique and mastery over Mana Concentration, he could deliver powerful blows.

Yet, Baek Yu-Seol must admit.

He still couldn't employ Tae-Ruung's Magic efficiently during real battles.

It required him to stand still and focused for a few seconds to trigger the magic temporarily.

One misstep, and the skill would dissipate immediately.

Nevertheless, practice was practice.

As this training didn't pose any life-threatening risks, even if he ended up looking a bit inept while handling the skill, it wasn't a matter of life and death.

He had to use these safe opportunities to hone Tae-Ryung’s Magic to perfection, so he could wield it effortlessly during critical battles in the future.

"The most effective form of training involves facing each other's magic head-on. However, starting from scratch and battling Class S demons immediately would be inefficient."

Fortunately, it seemed that they wouldn't be pitted against formidable Class S demons right from the start.

Just like a game of Soul Chess, magical battles required not only the mastery of powerful spells but also the wisdom to choose the right magic at the right time and situation.
