Scamming the Demon (1)

Anna learned from Natalie the next day that the demon had beaten up a lot of mages after she left.

Natalie’s small face was full of regret: “It would be great if we hadn’t left at the time. I heard that Mage Raymond easily defeated the three-star mages who challenged him. And because it was too fast, they hadn’t had time to reflect on how powerful he was; one after another, they uncontrollably stepped forward to challenge him, and then almost all the three-star mages present were beaten. Mage Raymond’s mental power was able to last for so long. He’s really amazing and talented. It’s really enviable!”

Anna thought to herself, if they didn’t leave at that time, who knew if the one who was beaten up would be the one who angered the demon, aka her.

However, from the perspective of watching more actual combat and increasing experience, it was indeed a pity that they did not see those battles yesterday.

Anna once saw a battle between two four-star mages, one of which was a demon. Yesterday, she also saw a demon fight with a three-star mage in the body of a two-star mage. She discovered something: combat fighting between mages relied mainly on imagination.

In fact, the spell circuits she learned were highly adjustable, which laid the foundation for the variability of spells in actual combat.

Here, there was no such thing as a battle where you stand and chant a spell, you cast a big spell and I cast a big spell back. There was also no such thing as a storage space or storage ring in this world.

What was compared in actual combat was mental power and imagination.

The amount of mental power determines persistence, the richness of imagination, and the degree of flexibility in combat methods.

As far as she had seen, natural elements could be condensed and “thrown” out in various shapes, and natural elements could be condensed to develop different actual combat powers with their respective intrinsic attributes.

As for the huge fire dragon that the demon created in front of her when he had been possessing Ulysses, it was really useful to scare people with; she had been frightened, anyway.

The battle between Raymond and the mages yesterday seemed to arouse the fighting spirit of the mages. Today, many people had applied to battle in the arena.

Anna originally wanted to study today, but the ultimate goal of the theory was to practice. After hearing Natalie say that such large-scale actual combat was typically very rare, she went to watch it with Natalie.

The first thing the two watched was a battle between two-star mages. This battle lasted for more than ten minutes. Anna couldn’t help but yawn after seeing it.

Compared to yesterday’s battle between the demon and Hansen, this one seemed to be playing around. They lacked imagination. Although they didn’t just stand there and cast spells, it still looked a little boring.

Later, after watching a duel between three-star mages, Anna realized that the demon was actually very powerful in actual combat.

Even if he only had the mental power of a two-star mage, he could use the vision and experience of a four-star mage or higher to display a strength far surpassing that of an ordinary two-star mage.

Anna once watched a confrontation between two four-star mages, and despite only wanting to run away at that moment, she still remembered the urgency and calculations that couldn’t be described.

And the scene with the demon yesterday was far more exciting than what she saw today. Even his opponent at the time, Hansen York, was able to have a back and forth, showing that his strength was not weak.

So, the competition between these people in front of her, ignoring the fact that their spells were flying all over, full of special effects, in actuality, they looked like chickens pecking at each other.

Natalie didn’t see much actual combat in the past, but now she watched it with gusto, and after being pulled away by Anna, she came back to her senses.

“Let’s go back to reading those books, these actual combat duels are boring.” Anna said.

“But… aren’t they fighting pretty well?” Natalie asked puzzledly.

“It’s not like this is a performance show, what’s the use of appearing to fight well? Let’s go.”

Anna left after speaking. Although she was reluctant to go, Natalie followed.

On this day, Anna finished reading two books and spot checked with Natalie. The test was very conducive to learning. It was best to be tested on the same day. Their learning efficiency could be improved a lot.

In the next few days, Anna and Natalie practically lived in the library, reading the books on the list at the rate of one to two books a day, and completing a test that day.

In terms of theory, Natalie was the strongest among all subjects. Being in the library for so many years was not for naught, so she managed to keep up with Anna’s progress.

After reading all the books on the list, Anna took out the notes she made when flipping through the book for the first time, added more details onto this foundation, and produced a mind map, combining the brief contents of the fifteen books.

Natalie told Anna that the theoretical papers for the promotion examination mainly consisted of filling in the blanks and short answers, which were more tests of memory. Anna produced a mock exam based on the mind map. She reviewed it during the process of writing the exam, so this exam was for Natalie alone. Anna timed Natalie for two hours according to the real theory test of the promotion assessment and asked her to take the mock test.

In the end, Natalie scored eighty-one points on the paper with a total score of 100, which was considered in the middle.
