Chapter 15: You Have to Kill Demonic Beasts Alone
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After entering the César Forest, the surroundings fell silent.
The feeling of the quiet surroundings was fine at first.
After all, they had just entered the forest. It was normal for there to be no demonic beasts.
But ten minutes later, it was still as quiet as when they first entered the forest.
Roddy and the magic students behind him were puzzled.
Logically speaking, the demonic beasts in the forest should have attacked the humans when they saw them entering.
But after entering the forest for so long, they did not even find a single demonic beast.
What was going on?
However, Roddy did not think too much about it.
After all, the strongest in the periphery of César Forest were only low-level demonic beasts and would not pose any threat to them.
At this moment, Roddy had already led the students into the forest for a distance.
Arriving at an open area in the woods, he put his hands behind his back and spoke to the twenty mage apprentices and the mage seniors behind him.
“Alright, students.”
“We’ve already entered the forest for two kilometers. This area is usually where low-level demonic beasts run rampant. It’s very suitable for your mission today.”
“Your assessment today is very simple.”
“Next, I will lead you to find suitable demonic beasts.”
“After that, you will hunt them down and obtain the crystal cores.”
“At the same time, this can also be considered to be a test of your cultivation results today.”
After he finished speaking, the magic students in front of him also revealed a look of understanding.
The mage seniors were still alright. Naturally, they had already experienced this kind of test in the past. They stood silently at the side.
On the other hand, the expressions of the students who had come from Laner Town lit up immediately.
After all, they had learned all sorts of knowledge from magic books and understood the characteristics of many demonic beasts.
After countless practice lessons of using magic in the classroom, this was the first time they followed their teacher out to hunt demonic beasts.
Immediately, all the magic students looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.
They also wanted to test their own magic abilities. After a month of professional training, they had become real mages, how strong had they gotten?
Looking at the magic students who were discussing softly, Roddy also cleared his throat, interrupting everyone’s discussions before continuing.
“Alright, everyone calm down.”
“Let me explain the specific arrangements for this mission.”
“This time, we are here to test your learning results.”
“So, from capturing to hunting the demonic beasts, and even extracting the cores from the corpses of demonic beasts without any wastage, you need to utilize the knowledge you’ve learned in this month.”
“Furthermore, even as your teacher, no matter what kind of danger you encounter, I will not step in.”
After Roddy finished speaking, the faces of the magic students in front of them changed slightly.
Among them, some female mages had been studying healing spells for a month. They were focused on saving people and did not practice any offensive spells.
On the other hand, some magicians cultivated formations, and if they wanted to kill enemies, they had to set up a magic formation beforehand.
There were even some cowardly mages who were not confident that they could hunt demonic beasts alone.
If they really had to face a demonic beast alone, what would they do?
Many people started to worry.
Seemingly noticing the worries of the magic students, Roddy smiled at the same time and added.
“However, there are some students who don’t have the ability to hunt demonic beasts alone. You don’t have to worry.”
“I will help you solve this problem, but before that, I want to ask you a question.”
After saying that, Roddy’s expression turned serious.
“Why are we humans able to survive the attacks of countless other races and thrive more and more without losing to them?
“Is it because we humans are constantly working hard to cultivate magic?” One of the sorcerers answered subconsciously.
“No.” Roddy shook his head.
“Then, teacher, is it because of the compatibility between swordsmen and mages?” A mage answered based on the knowledge he learned in books.
“Not really.” Roddy shook his head again and explained to the students.
“Actually, what you all said is not wrong. However, it is not the main point.”
“We, as humans, have been able to survive from the threats of all the other races ourselves. Other than the two points you’ve mentioned, there is another important point.”
“That’s right, unity!”
“It is precisely because we humans are united and unified that we can win all our battles!”
“It is because of this unity that we humans have been able to prosper to this day.”
After saying that, Roddy turned to look at the others.
“This time, although I cannot assist you in hunting demonic beasts as your teacher, I have not imposed any restrictions on you, nor have I ever asked you to hunt demonic beasts alone.”
“All of you magic students can hunt alone or team up with your companions to hunt demonic beasts.”
“You can choose freely.”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the magic students looked at Roddy.
The timid students were no longer afraid. Instead, they clenched their fists and looked confident.
These words also stirred the emotions of the other students.
As long as they were united, even if they encountered a powerful demonic beast, it would not be a problem for them!
All the magic students were excited as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
Looking at the expression of reverence from the magic students, although Roddy’s expression did not change, he could not help but feel happy.
Hehe, he had been a teacher for many years, and he had also taught many students.
Every year, there would be a few students who would be afraid and back out at the last minute.
In order to stir the students’ confidence and fighting spirit, he had already become extremely proficient at giving motivational speeches that were sincere and encouraging.
Furthermore, he had only said that he would not protect them.
He would still help any student who was in danger if a situation arose.
After hearing his speech, the students in front of him was full of confidence.
After that, Roddy seemed to be able to imagine that the students would quickly complete their mission, and then he would leisurely return to the Magic Academy for tea.
“Alright, students. Now, I will activate the Spirit Vision spell to find demonic beasts for you.”
“When we find a suitable demonic beast, it’ll be up to you to deal with it!”
Roddy immediately smiled and used Spirit Vision to search the surrounding few kilometers for any demonic beasts.
At the same time, at the periphery of César Forest, within the territory of Jobs.
At this moment, there were only about thirty demonic beasts left in the surrounding 15 kilometers.
These pets were raised by Jobs and each of them received a different degree of evolution.
Although it was only an elementary evolution, they already had greater combat strength than ordinary low-level demonic beasts.
This group of demonic beasts had been seriously guarding Jobs’ territory.
In just a single day, they had already hunted down no less than a few low-level demonic beasts from outside the forest. At the same time, they had also captured a few demonic beasts with potential for nurturing, waiting for their master to rear them.
It was also at this moment that the detection of the Spirit Vision spell swept over them!
