Chapter 40

“Let me give it a try first!”

After Gargado finished speaking, a voice sounded.

It was Paige who spoke.

She took a step forward and placed her hands in front of her chest. A magic ball appeared between her palms.

“Paige, try compressing it first.”

Gargado said slowly.

Paige’s control of magic was far less skilled than Karl’s. It was still at the novice stage.

Then, Gargado started to explain some things that needed attention.

Paige listened intently.

Then, she slowly compressed the magic ball in her hand until it became the size of a fist.

Gargado nodded and said, “Not bad.”

It was just not bad.

She could not be compared to Karl at all.

Thereafter, everyone tried.

A few hours passed in a flash.

Now, they were tens of kilometers away from the base.

At this range, the magical beasts that appear would naturally be stronger.

“After Teacher Gargado explanation, I believe everyone has already mastered the Novice stage of magic control.”

Gwen said slowly, “Next, everyone can move within a ten-kilometer radius. We will mainly train our control of magic and kill magical beasts.”

“If anything happens, you can communicate with us at any time. Teacher Gargado and I will protect you in secret.”

“Students, let’s begin.”

As Gwen finished speaking, many students rubbed their palms together.

After seeing some magical beasts, even students who had never experienced actual combat were no longer as afraid as before.

Besides, in the Magic Academy, the battle against the magical beasts would only begin half a year after the official admission.

It was an exception as they were special admissions students and undergoing special training.

Thus, they all cherished this opportunity.

…

In a canyon.

“Karl, let’s do this together.”

Elena was like Karl’s tail. Wherever Karl went, she followed.

Beside her, there was also her sister Diana, and the ice mage, Paige.

After all, among all the special admissions students, the only females were Elena, Diana, and Paige.

The three girls naturally had to walk together.

Hearing Elena’s words, Karl shook his head slightly and said, “The magical beasts are a little weak for me within ten kilometers of the area specified by Teacher Gwen. I’m going further away. The three of you can move together.”

Upon hearing this, Elena looked anxious. “It’s very dangerous further away. Can you go alone?”

Karl nodded and said, “I’ll be fine alone.”

“Alright, but don’t go too far. Otherwise, the two teachers won’t be able to protect you.”

Elena pouted.

Karl nodded slowly and walked further away.

Elena watched until Karl disappeared.

“Elena, your boyfriend is really strong.”

Paige couldn’t help but say.

In front of others, her temperament was cold, but in front of the girls who had similar talent as her, she was much livelier.

“Ah?”

When Elena heard what Paige said, her heart began to race uncontrollably. Her face turned red as she whispered, “We’re… we’re not dating yet.”

Diana rolled her eyes when she saw her sister like this.

Even if they weren’t dating, they were almost there.

Diana said seriously, “Elena, your main task now is to train. Do you understand? Dating will only distract you.”

“Besides, you must work hard so you will not be much weaker than Karl. Only then will you be able to follow Karl. Do you understand?”

“He’s very strong and is already very far ahead compared to all of us. If you keep neglecting your training, the gap between you and Karl will only grow bigger.”

“I understand.”

Elena whispered.

But this time, she did not say that just to pacify her sister.

Because she had sensed it too.

Just like what happened just now, Karl said that the magical beasts within a ten-kilometer radius were no longer of much use to him.

This meant that he was simply too powerful.

Just as her sister had said, he had left them behind.

If she didn’t work hard, the gap between her and Karl would only grow bigger and bigger.

This was not the result she wanted.

Therefore, this was the first time she felt a sense of urgency towards cultivation.

Half an hour later.

Boom!

A lightning spear shot out from the forest and struck a huge Level Two magical beast.

With a loud bang, the magical beast fell to the ground.

Then, Karl came to the magical beast’s side and nodded in satisfaction.

After half an hour of fighting, he was more and more proficient in magic materialization.

And its power was growing stronger and stronger.

It would be easier to win against Rockefeller if he fought with him now.

Although Rockefeller was a 4-star mage, his magical talent grade was not high. His magical talent was at most superior grade.

That was why Karl could defeat him when he was two ranks higher.

And it was under the circumstances that the other party wasn’t very keen.

Karl won by using his strengths to attack Rockefeller’s weaknesses.

Even if Rockefeller’s magical talent was one grade higher, which was transcendent grade, it was impossible for him to be Karl’s match as well.

After all, the higher the magical talent one possessed, the faster one’s cultivation speed would be.

It also meant that their combat power would be stronger.

Later, Karl took out the magical crystal of the magical beast.

In the distance, somewhere he could not detect.

Two figures stood on top of a large tree.

“Master Douglas, this Karl is really strong.”

The person standing at the back saw Karl kill a magical beast in one strike and could not help but say, “This Mutated Rhinoceros, according to the rank of mages, is at the advanced stage two-star. He killed it in just one strike.”

After he finished speaking, the figure standing in front of him did not say anything and only looked at Karl from afar.

His eyes were filled with malice.

This person was Douglas!

The person behind him was his lackey, Tellista.

From the time they were given free time, Douglas and Tellista had been following Karl secretly.

They were waiting for a chance to get rid of him!
