Winter Castle Academy, which is located on the huge towering reef platform in the ice sea north of Winter Castle. The rock pontoon bridge between the academy and the coast is connected by only a few magic wells. When necessary, the mages can even use magic to control and reclaim the pontoon bridge to the vicinity of the castle and completely cut off the only passage between the academy and the outside!
Because of this magical magic design and superior geographical conditions, ordinary troops have no chance of capturing this castle from the outside. In addition, the appearance of the main building of the academy is designed in the shape of a fortress fortress, which is no different from the fortress of the lords of the brother territory. Therefore, the Winter Fort Academy is often called the Winter Fortress by outsiders?
And this is also the real reason why the Winter Castle Academy can be equal to the lord status of the territory where it is located!
For the mages with powerful magical power and strong fortresses, they are usually completely free from the control and dispatch of the Winter Fort Lords. For countless years, they have maintained a relatively transcendent position in Skyrim Province, as if they are a country in the middle of a country.
Fortunately, the relationship between Winter Castle Leader and Winter Castle Academy is not too bad.
Usually, the mages occasionally help the lords, and even send court mages to the lords of various territories or provide necessary magic assistance... Therefore, in the small town outside the Winter Fort Academy, which was formed by survival based on the Winter Fort Academy, there are also Winter Fort soldiers responsible for guarding and maintaining the basic public security situation near the academy.
At the same time, because it is built on towering giant reefs, under the constraints of geographical conditions, Winter Castle Academy cannot be built too large. It is mainly composed of two dormitory buildings and a large teaching building connected together.
The lower parts between the three main buildings are connected by corridors, and the upper floors are connected by rooftops, which forms the basic appearance of a fortress from the outside.
In the academy, the teachers' dormitory is called the 'Face Hall', and the other student dormitory is called the 'Achievement Hall', which is mainly composed of separate dormitory compartments surrounding a magical small patio.
Outside the three main buildings is surrounded by a large courtyard. In the center of the courtyard is a magic well with beacon effect, and behind the well is a statue of the founder of the college, the mage, about five meters high. Behind the statue is the teaching building. The main hall of the teaching building is the classroom "Element Hall". The right staircase in front of the element hall leads to the chief wizard (principal) dormitory and the foreign (Somo) consultant dormitory on the third floor. The staircase on the left leads to the library, and the rooftop is the rooftop...
above,
It was all the basic information Anne learned after the advanced wizard Mirabelle took her, the new student, to get to know the dormitory and visited the Winter Castle Academy!
However, the high-level wizard Mirabelle didn't have much time to accompany her. Isn't that? After just a short while, Annie was brought to the Elemental Hall impatiently by the other party, and the so-called teacher who was about to throw it to her?
‘!!’
‘Hmm?!’
‘Milabel? Is there anything you have?’
Just as he was about to start class, the magic tutor Tovdir, who was interrupted by the visitor, turned his head and saw that Mirabelle was walking in with a strange little girl and walking towards them. This made him feel a little strange and stopped the class, and instead asked hesitantly.
‘Hello, Tovdir…’
‘I’m sorry to disturb you in class. Actually, that’s the case. I brought you a new student… You probably haven’t had class yet? That happens, I just took her around the academy. She is now a new student of the academy. Her name is Anne. I have arranged her dormitory and bed. Then I will hand her over to you now?’
After greeting Tovdir with a smile, the high-level wizard Mirabelle pointed to someone behind him who was constantly curious about the elemental hall of their Winter Castle Academy, and said, "A little girl who looked at the classroom."
‘!!’
'etc!'
‘Milabelle, are you serious?’
‘Just she? A little girl, a new student?!’
Tovdir seemed a little incredible, and then ignored the three students in front of him and pointed directly at a little girl who was wandering around the elemental hall and looking at the classroom, not paying attention to the conversation between them at all and exclaimed.
'Yes!'
‘I’m very sure she is the new student of our Winter Castle Academy!’
The advanced wizard Mirabelle just smiled and nodded, but refused to say more.
‘…’
‘But she is still so young, she looks only seven or eight years old. Can you really be sure that she can keep up with our course?’
Tovdir didn't want to start with the most basic knowledge. He didn't want to control a little girl who had no magic foundation and was still at the age of playing! So, if the other party was a child of a lord or a powerful person, then the other party could take him away now, and he would definitely not have so much time to deal with such a guy.
‘Don’t worry!’
‘I asked, she knew magical arts, she passed the test of Falauda, ​​and she had the qualifications and mana to become a student of the Winter Castle Academy.’
“!!”
‘Are you sure? She is a little girl, is this possible?’
‘But that’s the truth!’
‘…’
‘That’s it…’
‘Tovdir, do you have any other problems?’
‘Not yet, thank you…’
Although hesitated and was not willing to believe that such a young girl could really learn something when she came to Winter Castle Academy. However, after hesitating, Tovdir, who had not thought of a reasonable reason for rejection, finally had to nod, as if he had taken over the student.
'very good!'
‘Then you are busy first, I won’t disturb you in class for now.’
Seeing that the other party finally expressed his willingness to accept the little girl student he brought, the high-level wizard Mirabelle finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, after completing her mission, she turned around and walked out, no longer caring about the little girl who had bothered her for a long time.
Now that the handover has been completed, she has to do her own business, and she believes that Tovdier will handle the rest well.
“…”
"Little guy, have you seen enough? Come here first, believe me, you have time to observe and study here in the future... But now we are preparing for class, so you'd better come here first."
"By the way, your name is Anne, right?"
After watching the high-level wizard Mirabelle leave, Tovdir had to wait and say hello to the little girl who was still looking around in the elemental hall not far away.
“Eh?”
(.)??
"Hello! Master Tovdir!"
(▽)
When Annie, who had almost seen it, she wandered around the other side of the hall with pillars surrounding the hall, large floor-to-ceiling windows and a magic well in the middle.
There are no seats in this classroom, it is just a hall. If the sequels next to the surrounding pillars can be called seats, maybe the students can be allowed to sit on it when there are too many students?
However, there are also places that are worthy of praise. For example, the magic wells that are present in dormitories, courtyards and classrooms, as well as the rich magical arcane energy that radiates out. I am afraid that only the high elves of Quelthalas in the Azeroth world and their Sun Well can have similar effects?
Unlike the strong and abnormal Ancient elements of the Sun Well and the huge range that covers the entire Quel'thalas, the numerous magic wells in this Winter Castle Academy can barely fill the entire Winter Castle Academy and provide students and professors with some convenience and help when learning and studying magic.
"Well... Mirabelle introduced me to you just now?"
"That's good!"
"I won't talk anymore..."
"First of all, you are welcome to join us. We just planned to attend class. Before we could start, you can stand here and listen together... Yes! Just stand here, don't be too restrictive."
After signaling the little girl to come and stand, Master Tovdir continued to say:
"Anne, this is Anmond, this is Brelina, and the one over there is Jay Zag. They are all students like you. There are not many students in Winter Castle Academy now..."
"But you have anything to say to go back and say it. Now let's start class first."
“…”
"You all listened carefully..."
"First of all, as I said in the last lesson, the first thing you do when you learn magic is to understand the essence of magic, and its essence is a very unstable and dangerous existence!"
"And if..."
After briefly introducing her three other classmates to the little girl, Master Tovdir began his long speech in a daze, but what he said was that a little girl didn't continue to listen after just one sentence.
“Ahhh…”
??(?0`??)??
“…”
('-w?)
After hitting a little, Annie, who felt a little sleepy, rubbed her eyes.
She was not intentionally distracted, but because she felt that the knowledge about magic that the other party said was full of loopholes and mistakes, and she felt that the other party was not very capable, and she seemed to have nothing good to say, and she didn't want to correct the other party's mistakes. She just privately expects the other party to finish and finish the get out of class quickly, while thinking about it all...
Although it was a bit bad to pray that get out of class had just begun, she was really a little sleepy, so she couldn't blame this!
(…)
(?)
“…”
(′～`●)
“…”
(??)??
However, Annie, who felt that she was not good at speaking during class and was a little uncomfortable with sleeping while standing, began to distract herself and turned to look at her "classmates".
The first one standing on her right was the handsome guy named Anmond. She didn't know about his ability, but she had to be an apprentice at Winter Castle Academy and learn that kind of wrong magic knowledge. I guess his ability was definitely not very good.
╮(╯▽╰)╭
As for the second one, the pretty sister Brilina... I'm afraid the situation is similar, right?
|?w??`)
As for the Jay Zag on the right, the guy who seemed to be a cat, that was just a guy who didn't know whether it was a male or a female... Well, Annie gave up after taking a look, because the other party seemed to be completely different from the super cute cat that Annie had seen on TV before. She was fierce and ugly, and she didn't have that cute feeling at all?
(＿＿*)?
“…”
(?w‖)??
The cat is so sorry for the audience at all... Even the little bear in her family looks a little more obedient than the other party!
(…)
(°??°〃)
“…”
“We must be careful to control our desires, or disaster will come…”
“?!”
"Ahem!"
"Class Anne?"
“??”
"Student Annie? What are you thinking?!"
Finally, after too long, Tovdir, who was talking about something important, was about to continue talking, suddenly, he saw a primary school student who seemed to have not put his eyes or attention at all?
So, he had to sigh, interrupt the speech, and began to call on a little girl who was traveling outside the sky...
"ah!!"
!(;??o??)o
"Hey? Hello, you! Is there anything wrong? Dear Master Tovdir?!"
(?▽?)?
After being touched by the young man named Anmond beside him with his arm, Little Annie barely came to her senses, blinked her cute big eyes, and asked the magic professor who was innocent of learning and not going to class to explain well, and insisted on distracting her.
(…)
(￢??￢.)
“…”
"Student Anne, I think you just seemed to be thinking about something very 'focused'. Do you have any different opinions on what I just said?"
Tovdir sighed in his heart.
Actually, he didn't want to make things difficult for a little girl, but since the other party came to Winter Castle Academy, since the other party was listening to the class under his own hands and paid the expensive tuition, he must be more responsible and strive to teach the other party some practical and effective magic skills.
Besides, from now on, the other party can be said to be a mage from the Winter Castle Academy. If the other party can't learn it in the end and then says to be a mage from the Winter Castle students after going out, then they will be more or less embarrassed, right?
"view?"
Σ(￣д￣;)
"What do you think? Did you just say something very important? But, I haven't listened from the beginning, so where did I know what you were saying..."
o((⊙﹏⊙))o.
‘!!’
‘…’
‘…’
It would be fine if Anne didn't say the very honest words. Once she said it, not only did the face of the Thofdir suddenly turn dark, but even the Anmond who had just reminded her, Miss Brelina and the cat star Jay Zag all looked at her with such disbelief.
Although in the past, they often dared to put forward different opinions in class or question some of the teachers' opinions during class... However, this is the first time they have seen it like the other party, just using extremely impolite words to confront each other.
“…”
"Oh well!"
"Maybe what you said just now is right. We can try it now. I think we can do some magic exercises that have more practical significance?"
Maybe it was because the little girl was angry, or maybe it was for some other reason, Tovdir suddenly sighed and looked at a little girl who was still confused.
“???”
(.)??
Anne still didn't know what was going on.
(…)
e=(?'●))) Alas
"Now, let's continue our defense class in the last class..."
"We will start with the magical protection barrier, which is an effective spell that can defend against spell attacks, which can save your lives when necessary!"
"so……"
"Student Annie, do you know that kind of magic defense barrier?"
Maybe it was to serve as a warning, or maybe it was to give a profound lesson to a little girl student? So, the wizard Tovdir once again pointed the finger at a new guy who had not listened since class and was distracted.
“Eh?”
∑(??△)?!
"Yes, there are many magic defense barriers, so what's wrong?"
く(＾_??)ゝ?
Annie didn't know what kind of magic protection barrier the other party was talking about. Anyway, Annie knew many kinds of things, such as in addition to the lava shield she was best at, she used to fool the curved light barriers that were guarding the dawn, there were also those ridge barriers, flame protection, ice protection, truth words: shield, dark shield, etc., which can be called defensive barrier spells, but she rarely used them.
“Many kinds?”
"That's good..."
"Since you sound familiar with barrier spells, can you help me demonstrate to other students?"
"Now……"
"Just stand there, and I'll cast a spell on you, and you need to use the barrier you are best at to defend, let's get started quickly, okay?"
A little girl dared to speak wildly and knew many magic defense barriers, and dared not listen to the lectures in class. This made Master Tovdir feel that he needed to teach the other party a little bit?
However, he will carefully control the power of the spell later, so that it can not only play a demonstration effect, but also give the other party a deep enough impression without hurting the other party!
"What you are best at..."
!(;??o??)o
"Is this OK?"
(??ˊ??)
With a wave of her hand, a dark red, translucent lava shield appeared beside Annie, directly covering her. What she is best at is obviously the lava shield she created that integrates attack and defense. Whoever hits her will be unlucky!
"very good!"
"I can see that it is a very good fire defense barrier, right?"
"So, let's start..."
"Don't move, don't talk, keep it up, you stand there, the others disperse, I don't want you to be hurt by me by mistake."
"Very good! Anne, I can tell that this is indeed the magic barrier you are best at, you seem to be relaxed? Then, let's start now!"
"You must continue to maintain your magic barrier, otherwise it will be meaningless. Although I will try my best to restrain my strength, I really don't want to hurt you..."
As he said that, after finally glanced at the circle of fiery red magic shield on the little girl's body, Master Tovdir pondered for a moment, then resolutely grabbed a ball of fire in his hand. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the little girl could still maintain the shield, he smashed it directly at the other party.
Although he didn't know the strength of the opponent's magic barrier, he knew that the fireball in his hand was not very powerful, and even if it could penetrate the opponent's shield, it would probably not cause too much damage. As for the problem of such a spell as the little guy was so young, he could only wait to explore it later.
"etc!"
=??(*)
Suddenly, Annie seemed to have thought of something. Just as she had time to speak, the other party's small fireball hit her viciously and hit her lava shield!
boom!
The fireball exploded instantly, from the shield that was still moving, as if there was no influence, Annie could see that the other party had indeed restrained his power, but...
??
Whoosh~!
The opponent's strength does not mean that Anne's lava shield will also be restrained. Therefore, the fire flashed on the shield. Almost at the moment the opponent's fireball exploded, another fireball instantly reflected back at an extremely fast speed and hit the opponent's face...
Bang!!
"Well……"
After sighing, although it might be because of some enchanting or defensive means on his body, the wizard Tovdir's face was still red with scalded eyes, and his eyebrows and hair staggered directly on the floor of the Elemental Hall, and soon he stopped moving.
‘!!’
‘??’
‘…’
In addition to being shocked, the Sanming student, Namond, Brelina and Jay Zag looked at a little girl with unbelievable eyes.
"ah……"
(°〼°〃)
"I really didn't mean it! He insisted on using the shield he was best at... And I just forgot to say that this lava shield can automatically reflect ordinary close-range physical attacks and magic attacks..."
??°(°?°)°??
Annie really didn't mean it. She really didn't have time to say it. She dared to swear in the name of her little bear Tibers!
Moreover, it can't be entirely blamed on her. Who made the opponent's attack so simple? It was just a small ball of fire that was smashed by the magic mechanism and talisman energy reflection array on the lava shield? If the opponent uses more complex magic, he will definitely not be counterattacked.
