Chapter 156 New skill - Charring Field
He shook his head and sighed, even though he didn't like this, however, the attraction of the magic academy was something he couldn't resist.
The first round was the talent test. Lathel knew his talent was very high; however, he could not surpass Alec.
If he competes with Alec, then he will become a villain. And of course, the ending of villains is often... not good.
The second round of competition, of course, is also the time when the male main character, Alec, will shine brightly. He possesses the magic-swordsman talent, and he can engage in close combat and use magic.
Besides, Alec also possesses the black Rose Flame, so his fighting power is almost unrivaled compared to new students.
Finally, the third round—perhaps this round will be public so everyone can watch.
And Lathel can be sure of one thing: this will be the round where Alec can flex to the point that everyone will remember him.
Lathel sighed: 'Being a male protagonist is great, always being noticed, admired, and even loved by others.'
'Ah! Okay, I don't need to be jealous; I just need to focus on my goal.'
'If Alec is famous, then surely there will be many villains and others approaching him. Maybe... then he won't care about me anymore.'
After thinking about these things, Lathel felt extremely comfortable and looked forward to tomorrow.
'Hm... Tomorrow, should I show off how talented I am?'
He started thinking: 'If it shows up as 'Earth' Rank F, it will be too difficult to approach pretty girls.'
'But if my talent is too high, I'm afraid it will make Alec uncomfortable.'
Lathel sighed. 'Alec is like a crazy dog who wants to bite everyone. If I let him know that my talent is very good, I'm afraid he will bite me too.'
'Hm... But my highest talent is only B; will he be jealous of me?'
If other magicians were to know what Lathel was thinking, they would drown him in saliva.
'It's just B'... is this something a human can say?
You must know that Rank D talent can make someone a famous adventurer, and they'll lead a prosperous life.
Lathel shook his head and put the scroll back into the storage space. He continued examining the space gem that Ryne had given him.
This gem is yellow like gold, but it was somewhat transparent, and it emitted a somewhat beautiful aura.
Above the gem, there were also a few strange white characters that were constantly moving, like some kind of simulated projection.
"Kid, this space gem is no ordinary thing. Its rank is definitely A, or even higher."
"Heh?!" Lathel heard Cauldron speak and was startled: "Rank A? Is it that incredible?"
"That's right." Cauldron explained: "The quality of this gem is Rank A, but it is equipped with many types of spells to recognise you as its owner."
"Those spells also have the function of protecting this gem, preventing theft, and locating it. Moreover, the gem is equipped with a type of magic that can protect people from a fatal attack from a level 80 master or more."
Hearing that, Lathel took a deep breath. He felt that this space gem was wonderful.
"Ah! Ryne... thank you." He muttered.
Lathel also did not think that Ryne would give him such a precious thing while he could not help her yet.
He shook his head and thought in his heart that if Ryne needed help in the future, he would try to help her out.
Lathel was even more surprised when he looked inside the space gem. Inside, there were many elemental stones, and some were suitable for his talent.
Suddenly Anna roared, then flew into the sky, colliding with the word 'Fire'.
However, there wasn't any explosion like he thought; Anna easily absorbed all the light from the word 'Fire'.
This process happened very quickly, according to Lathel's estimate, it probably only took about 10 seconds.
After absorbing the word 'Fire', Anna rushed down, flew around Lathel, and said: "This skill is very simple; I can help you use it without too many complicated rituals. "
"Of course..." Anna stretched out her long tongue and licked his neck: "I need your permission to use your energy."
Lathel shivered; he felt the hot sensation that burned his skin coming from Anna's tongue.
"Next time... please stop licking me." Lathel said in an annoyed tone.
"Hahaha... are you shy? Or... are you afraid of me?" Anna said her voice seemed to have become much more feminine and seductive than before.
Lathel frowned and said: "Both. Okay, I'll let you use my energy, but what is this skill? I don't even know what kind of skill it is."
"Look closely!" Anna said, then she turned into a stream of flames, and flew into the sky.
BAM!
The flames exploded, turning into nine fireballs that fell to the ground, each fireball was more than two meters in diameter.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
...
Explosions rang out continuously. There were nine explosions, and nine holes in the ground. Even though Lathel stood far away, he could still feel the terrible temperature of those fireballs.
"This is amazing, this skill is only Rank D, why is it so strong?" Lathel muttered.
"It's thanks to me." Anna appeared next to him again, startling him.
"You..."
"Hehehe..." Anna giggled: "This skill is called 'Charring Field'."
In fact, this skill is a wide-range attack skill, and each fireball is less than 50 cm in diameter."
"However, thanks to the power of a Beast Flame and my ability to control fire, the power of this skill has increased many times over."
"Currently, it is comparable to a Rank C skill."
Hearing that, Lathel felt excited. He asked: "So... what do I have to do to use this skill?"
"Very simple..." Anna hovered in front of him, stretched out her long tongue, and gently licked his chest.
Lathel shivered and shouted angrily: "I said... don't lick me!"
"Hahaha..." Anna smiled and replied: "I was just joking with you."
Lathel frowned. He felt that Anna was becoming more and more strange. Before, she was looking at him with eyes full of hatred, but now she was teasing him.
Lathel sighed and said: "Okay, stop joking."
Anna nodded and said: "Just use your thoughts and give me orders. I will follow your orders and help you use magic freely."
"That means..." Lathel suddenly thought of something, he said: "Don't I need to use a magic staff and recite magic incantations?"
"Basically..." Anna nodded and replied: "you don't."
