Volume 2: Magic Tower Chapter 20: A Battle with Tyson

  My arrow was unhesitatingly blocked by Tyson's magic shield, and in fact I didn't expect this attack to be useful against Tyson. My goal was to consume his magic power. In order not to be discovered by him, I had to shoot an arrow and change my position. My arrows kept shooting at him, and the magic shield on his body flashed with a blue light from time to time. Finally, Tyson's magic shield dimmed, and his magic power was no longer abundant. He had to leave some magic power to entangle with me, so he didn't bother to resist my attack anymore.

  The final blow, the shield on Tissen is about to be broken by me! My feathered arrow flew out, and the magical shield on Tissen's body flashed and disappeared. I immediately shot the fireball technique that I had prepared long ago towards him, this time it was enough for him to suffer, although my fireball technique wasn't very powerful, if it hit the enemy without any resistance, it would also make the enemy feel unbearable pain, the high-temperature flames could burn a person until their face turned black and their body smoked. Thinking of Tissen being hit by the fireball, I felt somewhat pleased with myself.

  But just as my fireball spell was about to hit Tyson, a new shield suddenly opened up in front of him - he had been prepared! And because victory was within his grasp, I exposed my own position when I released the fireball.

  As expected, Tyson's fireball technique followed immediately. To have some restrictions, the teacher did not allow Tyson to use intermediate or higher attack magic, and defensive magic could only be used with a magic shield. However, even so, I found that Tyson's fireball was bigger than a washbasin, and I clearly saw the white dazzling light emanating from the core of the fireball, which was a compressed fireball! Good guy, I was scared and hurriedly rolled into a small ditch on the side, and the fireball burned out a long line of fire where I stood. If I stood there without moving, I'm afraid I would have become a pile of charcoal by now.

  My heart still racing, I quietly wiped away a cold sweat. This was deliberately trying to get rid of me, how vicious. Luckily I dodged it, otherwise the fish that had been roasted for years would have ended up roasting itself.

  Since it's already exposed, I might as well walk out openly, pick up my bow and arrow, and aim at Tyson. The arrowhead shone with a cold light, targeting Tyson. I recited the prayer of the spirits, and the wind element rotated around me, quickly concentrating on the arrow. I released the bowstring, and the feathered arrow turned into an afterimage flying towards Tyson. At the same time, I released the Wind Blade technique that I had prepared earlier. The pale blue Wind Blade followed behind the feathered arrow, and if one didn't look carefully, it would be hard to detect. Meanwhile, Tyson's Wind Blade also flew in front of me.

  I could do nothing but dodge to the side and avoid most of the wind blade's attack, and raised my hands to block in front of my face. The wind blade almost touched my arm as it swept past, cutting my sleeve into shreds. The torn fabric fluttered before me like a few butterflies dancing gracefully.

  Tissen wasn't so lucky, he didn't notice the Wind Blade following behind the Feathered Arrow. The elf's magical arrow technique broke through his defense and the subsequent Wind Blade hit him when he was completely unguarded. Unfortunately, my Wind Blade's power was too small, only managing to knock him to the ground, but compared to me, he looked much more disheveled.

  I drew out the one-handed sword on my back and rushed to Tissen's front, placing the sword on his neck before he could open his magic shield again.

  Tissen didn't move, his face still calm, as if the one who failed wasn't him at all. He just looked at me and said, "You actually used a bow and arrow to attack me, not like a magician at all. Remember to teach me how to roast fish."

  I also know that winning isn't everything, but Teacher Ankara didn't say I couldn't use a bow and arrow, so I found a loophole.

  I grinned and sheathed my sword, extending a hand to Tissen: "Anyway, as long as I can beat you, that's all that matters. Just using magic against each other, I'm not your match, your magical power is originally much higher than mine, and with the magic shield, even if we only use primary magic to fight, I have no hope."

  Tissen held my hand and stood up, saying: "Now that you've obtained the primary magician qualification, you can start learning intermediate magic. Tomorrow I'll teach you Magic Shield. Let's go see Teacher Ankala."

  Mr. Ankara was still lounging in his recliner reading a book, when we came in he didn't even lift an eyebrow, just told us to sit down in front of him.

  Ankara closed the book and looked up at Tyson, saying: "Tyson, what did you gain from this?"

  Tissen's mouth twitched slightly as he said, "I underestimated Alick. His attack method was very unexpected."

  Ankara nodded: "You're about to take the advanced magician assessment, and if you pass, after getting the advanced magician badge, it's considered that you've graduated from my place. At that time, you can choose to stay in Floating City or travel on the mainland. Today is also the last lesson I can say I'm giving you, remember, anyone has unknown potential, don't underestimate opponents with lower levels than yours. In battle, as long as you can defeat your enemy, any means are acceptable. If Alick were just a magic apprentice, or just an intermediate archer, or a beginner swordsman, he wouldn't be your opponent, but his comprehensive abilities have the chance to defeat you."

  Tissen looked at me and said to Teacher Anka: "Teacher, I remember, I won't make the same mistake again."

  Ankara smiled contentedly, turned her head to look at me and said: "Your magic level has already reached that of a primary magician, I knew this long ago. The reason why I let you fight a hopeless battle was just to make you feel the difference between a primary magician and an advanced magician, so as to find direction and goal for your future efforts. But what surprised me is that you were able to think of ways to defeat Tissen, even though I restricted Tissen to only use primary magic attacks on you and intermediate magic for defense. Still, I didn't think you could beat him."

  Saying that, the old man smiled slyly: "Even if you lose this time, I will still make you a primary magician. Really didn't expect, your potential is quite big."

  Shit, so that's how it is! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have worked so hard. Teacher Ankara is really despicable, making me busy for nothing. In my heart, I contemptuously raised my middle finger at the old man in front of me, but the expression on my face still looked humble and respectful.

  However, the slight resentment and complaint in my heart were quickly dispelled by the copper-colored magician badge handed over by Teacher Ankara. I took the badge in my hand and turned it over repeatedly, although it was made of copper, but it was much more exquisite than the badges of archers and swordsmen.

  A small star surrounded by wind, fire, earth, water and wood five elements pattern, the star also has a faint golden light shining on it, it's really beautiful.

  As I was admiring the badge, Teacher Ankara's voice sounded in my ear: "I've already submitted your registration file to the Larsen Magician Association. From today on, you're an official junior magician."
