Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Chapter 65: Show proof

Strong, bitter winds blew in, the low grass mowed from time to time by the power of the wind. The hurricane was already near, but before reaching it, the participants had to pass through the previous creatures. Hundreds of feet from the hurricane were a thousand golem, wolf, and snake creatures. Seven hundred golems, two hundred and fifty wolves and fifty snakes.

The five schools split into five groups, each school bringing its students together in one of the hurricanes, which was to help increase the chances of defeating the level 4 creature that lived in the hurricane. At the wind element place, there were a total of three hurricanes, at least one hurricane will have more than one group in the competition.

The group of East School students was in the same hurricane as the Central School.

Liu Yang's group was two hundred meters from the creatures. They were discussing the strategy to beat the creatures before they hit the hurricane.

"Liu Yang, what are we going to do?" Xiao Mei asked she had more confidence in Liu Yang than in the other teammates. The other members, especially the male ones, didn't like the way Xiao Mei favored Liu Yang. The treatment between them was completely different.

"A week has passed since the start of the competition, we have three more weeks before the competition is over. Do any of you have contact with members in the other areas? "Liu Yang asked curiously, he only kept in contact with Liu Xia and Xiao Mei, as for the others, he didn't even care.

"Didn't you use the communication equipment the school gave us to keep in contact?" Xiao Mei was surprised to hear Liu Yang's words.

"Big sister, are you talking about this?" Liu Yang pulled a small communicator out of his pocket. It looked like an old radio communicator.

"Yes, the messages from the other members of our school are recorded in this. You only need to listen and talk when you need it. According to the other members, they are also at their respective locations to fight the creature of rank 4 "

"I see I haven't used it since the day the competition started. I just need to do my job and I don't have time to care about others besides Little Xia and you. "Liu Yang spoke truthfully. He didn't need to care about the other team members, he only cared about the safety of Liu Xia and Xiao Mei.

"Junior Liu Yang, we are a team, the total points will be summed up from all the team cards, you can't ignore your teammates," A senior said, he didn't like the way Liu Yang spoke of his colleagues.

"Can I ask you something?" Liu Yang looked at the veteran and asked.

"Ask"

"How many points did you get? All of you together "Liu Yang asked casually, he had a vague idea from the fight he saw a few days ago.

"The total sum of our points is forty-three thousand, rounding down." The young man said proudly, having scored that many points in an eight-member team were considerable.

"I don't want to brag or anything, but your performance is pretty poor." Liu Yang made his comment, to him, that comment was realistic if compared to himself. But to others, the comment was an insult. The other students disliked this comment and were resentful of Liu Yang.

Only Xiao Mei understood what Liu Yang's words mean, she understood that he alone got a lot more points than all of them together.

"Junior Liu Yang, you make it look like you got more points than all of us to put together," Another student said sarcastically, he didn't believe Liu Yang's words. The other students were skeptical as well.

"Whether you believe it or not, that is your choice."

"Junior Liu Yang, if you have any proof, why not show us? If you can provide us with any proof, we believe you. "

"I have no reason to show any proof because when the competition is over, you will see for yourself. There are only three weeks left, just wait. "Liu Yang preferred not to show any proof, as the people watching the competition already knew how many points he had already scored.

"Junior Liu Yang, as you cannot show any proof, I ask you to remove the words you spoke before." The young man did not like the fact that Liu Yang spoke arrogantly and did not provide proof for his words.

"What's your name?" Liu Yang didn't answer the young man's question and asked his question.

"My name is Fan Gu, I am a third-year student from one of the East School branches." The young man did not speak arrogantly, because unlike Liu Yang, he was a student in one of the branches and not in the main school. Fang Gu knew the difference between him and Liu Yang.

About ninety percent of the students in the five main schools were young people who came from influential and powerful clans, while the other ten percent of the seats belong to young people who came from common backgrounds. This was not a mandatory division, but the estimate of government data, as young people who came from influential clans had more resources to train.

For the average youngster to get into one of the main schools, that only showed one thing, his talent was exceptional.

Another factor was that the selection to be a member of the competition team was much more intense than the branches, as many students in the main schools were extremely powerful, much more than in the branch schools. To get one of thirty places, the student had to be very exceptional, especially for a freshman.

The vacancies were defined as follows, ten students for each of the three school years. That is, there were only a total of ten vacancies for each year.

To get the place, Liu Yang had to fight against one hundred and seventy-nine students, and he succeeded as a novice mage, which was the scariest factor.

Because of these reasons, Fan Gu knew he was much weaker compared to Liu Yang. He could not defeat nine intermediate and advanced mages at the novice level, ever.

"So you are a senior. Senior Fan Gu, do you know what this is for? "Liu Yang drew a sphere of energy from the wind element. The other students were curious to know what Liu Yang wanted to do. As a member of a powerful clan, Xiao Mei had a vague idea of what Liu Yang will do.

"This is an energy sphere, right?" Fan Gu knew what the sphere was, but didn't know its usefulness right now.

"Yes, it is a sphere of energy. Right now, the best thing we can do is this. "Liu Yang threw the energy sphere three meters ahead and activated. The energy of the sphere began to spread and move toward the creatures.

Roar !!!!! Roar !!!!! Roar !!!!! Roar !!!!!

Feeling the energy of the sphere, the nearby creatures began to agitate and charged toward the Eastern School group. A total of twenty creatures carried, fifteen golems, four wolves and one snake.

"You can attack if you want, or you can sit down and rest," Liu Yang said casually, he was sitting in a wooden chair as he watched the dozens of golems and wolves carrying him.

"You are crazy????!!!!!!! Why did you do that??? We'll be damned !!!! "Fang Gu shouted in alarm. The other students were also scared to see this scene.

The other groups saw what Liu Yang had done and was startled but soon realized that this was the best way to clear the area before moving on to the hurricane. Those who realized the significance of Liu Yang's action belonged to the influential groups, as they were instructed to do so as well, even if it is a waste to use an energy sphere to do something like that.

"What are you going to do? Fight or run? That's the only way to get to the hurricane. "Liu Yang lay back in his chair as if enjoying the sight.

"Junior Xiao Mei, what are we going to do now?" Fan Gu asked for Xiao Mei's opinion since she was the group leader.

"We only have one alternative left: fight." Xiao Mei stood up and prepared to fight. The other members of the group could only sigh and get up, they were afraid that students from other schools might take this opportunity to make a surprise attack. They could only look at Liu Yang with looks of resentment and anger.

"Wind Blade !!!"

"Piercing Spear !!!" The students used their spells, they put as much magical energy as possible to deal the most damage.

When the creatures reached ten meters away, they launched.

"Attack !!!!" Everyone shouted at the same time. Green lights flashed before the wind blades and wind spears flew toward the creatures.

Shuooooo !!!! Shuooooo !!!! Shuooooo !!!!

Each one cast only one spell, but each one was powerful enough that it managed to pierce the creatures' bodies and hit the creature behind them. After the first round of spells, almost all creatures were defeated, only the snake remained.

"Piercing Spear !!!" Right after the first round of spells, everyone used mid-level spells, as it was the fastest way to defeat the snake. Before the snake could get close to them, the spells were cast.

"Attack !!!" The eight shouted at the same time.

Shuooooo !!!! Shuooooo !!!! Shuooooo !!!!

The wind spears pierced several parts of the snake's body at the same time, and some pierced its weak point. The snake disappeared seconds later.

"Senior, take the cards," Fan Gu said, as Xiao Mei was the strongest member of the group, she was more likely to escape if someone attacked. Xiao Mei waved no and all the cards were absorbed by her black card. The group got a lot of points.

The other group, which was on the other side, and some students from other schools did not dare to attack the East School group. Because it was very risky and no one wanted to be disqualified.

The other group that was hundreds of meters away also did the same, they drew a sphere of wind energy to attract the creatures.
