15.The Emergency Notice
But.
William didn't notice when he left, deep in the Sage Forest, there was a strange fluctuation of magic power, filled with a sense of danger
Since it was still extremely weak at the moment, not even that Magical Instructor was able to detect it.
...
The next day.
They still carried out their normal hunting activities, but what was different was that the number of magical beasts had increased.
And not only the natural magical beasts, even the number of breeding magical beasts also increased.
It was important to know that breeding magical beasts had an extremely strong sense of territory, just like lions, and there wouldn't be too many of them in one area.
"How strange."
William stood on the branch of a large tree, responsible for scouting as he looked in the direction of the depths of the Sage Forest.
Vaguely, he sensed disturbing magical elements.
But if it was true, that magic teacher whose mental power was far stronger than his should have already discovered some sort of abnormality.
If it was in a more dangerous situation, he would definitely have ordered the termination of the practical exercises at the first opportunity, and then had the teachers and seniors evacuate with the new students.
"Anything?" Zhuo Sandy shouted from under the tree.
"Nothing, there's not much movement of magical beasts in the vicinity anymore, it should have been cleared out." William said solemnly.
"That's great!" Zhuo Sandy sat down on the ground at once and hurriedly meditated to replenish her magic power.
Her tense mood became relaxed.
Rex did the same, and only Josh, who was not directly involved in the battle, remained on alert.
William also jumped down from the big tree at that moment, stepping on some blood and splashing mud.
Right now, around them, there were a total of seven magical beast corpses, and five magic crystals that were obviously from the dissipation of natural magical beast corpses.
In other words, they had just suffered a total of twelve magical beasts!
Although they were basically all first and second rank magical beasts and were not surrounding them at the same time, there were also two third rank magical beasts, so it could be considered a bitter battle.
This number of magical beasts, compared to yesterday the difference was too great, it was obviously not right.
"WEILIAN school brother is really powerful, it's still pretty easy to look at even now." Josh couldn't help but praise.
"Usually exercise more, physical strength is just better, and I'm mainly responsible for resisting, the output is all from Rex, of course it's easy." William smiled.
Physical strength is better? Josh's complexion slightly moved.
Although he was not good at fighting, but as an alchemist and magician he was not a fool.
William's fighting ability was obviously not some newborn white boy, at least it was something that could only be shown after having professional training or even having experience as an adventurer.
Regardless of whether it was an orderly multi-angle defense against the magical beasts, or saving as much fighting qi consumption as possible to accomplish the purpose of staging, and ultimately waiting for Rex schoolmate's magic attack.
These were clearly not something a novice could do.
Zhuo Sandy schoolmate and the others weren't clear about all this yet, they just felt that William seemed to be more powerful than them, but they didn't know the reason.
Could it be that ...
he be the child of some powerful adventurer?
...
On William's side, he also noticed the change in Josh's complexion.
After all these days of fighting, especially today's high intensity battle, did he finally notice?
Then the purpose was achieved, prioritize to leave a deeper impression in his mind, and after that, just talk to him more on the topic of alchemy to draw him closer.
When it's vacation time, we can try to invite him to our home, and then together with Grandpa and the others, we can recruit him to the Research and Development Department.
A very good development.
One of the main reasons why William continued to come to the academy was to come in contact with talented people and use Prince Ursa's identity to recruit them after he had a certain level of familiarity.
Under normal circumstances, with the dual factors of a friend and a Prince-ranked noble, basically all of them could be successfully recruited.
Of course, those who were particularly outstanding would definitely be recruited by the kingdom.
As for whether or not they could be snatched at that time, it would depend on the conditions given, as well as William's own abilities.
Wind System, Fifth Order Magic - Wind of Transmission.
All the students who carried special magic props felt a connection of spiritual power at the first moment!
"Hello everyone, I am Grand Magician Bunyan Johnston, professor of the Academy's Alchemy Department."
"Now I come to give you all an urgent notice, limiting all student groups to arrive at the designated area before sunset tonight. When encountering magical beasts in the middle of the journey, do not engage in battle, and quickly reach it by avoiding battle as much as possible."
"At the same time extra for everyone to do a credit reward, the first to arrive at the group, this credit settlement additional 5%, the subsequent 1% range decreasing, so only the first five groups."
That Grand Magician, the strongest person of this drill team finally spoke!
Bunyan's words caused many students to freeze.
Whether it was the students who were scouting in the trees like William or counting the loot, they were puzzled by this urgent announcement.
The slightly smarter students, on the other hand, realized the seriousness quite directly!
...
"Why did it suddenly end early?" Zhuo Sandy was a bit puzzled.
"It's probably because some powerful magical beasts have been found infested in the Saji Forest, for safety reasons so we were told to go back early." Rex guessed.
After all, he was a child of a merchant family, his thinking was still relatively quick.
"Let's go, I'll open the way." William said as he drew the sword at his waist.
Was it really a problem in the forest? That vague sense of danger is not as simple as a powerful magical beast, which means ...
"WEILIAN schoolmate, that direction is not directly to the camp." Josh quickly took out his magic compass and indicated.
Zhuo Sandy and Rex looked at William suspiciously.
"Yes, the direction is a bit more off to the outside of the forest, because of the problem with the area we chose before, it's farther away from the rendezvous, so if there's really any danger, maybe it's safer for us to rush straight out of the forest rather than heading to the rendezvous." William said straight away.
"So that's how it is, LIAN you're so smart ah." Zhuo Sandy said with small admiration.
"Then why don't we just leave the forest and go around the outside of it?" Rex proposed.
"No, if it's not a powerful magical beast, then it definitely won't intentionally go to the meeting point with the threat of Great Magical Guide magic." Josh immediately refused.
"What? It's not a powerful magical beast ...," Drosandifroze a little.
"What do you mean Senior Caspar ..." Rex quickly thought of something!
"Magical disaster." William stated another guess quite directly!
Magic Disaster!
Drosandi and Rex's pupils shrunk at once, and a clear look of horror, emerged from their eyes.
Josh at this time looked at William, obviously very calm without the slightest color of panic, his heart is more convinced.
WEILIAN school brother, absolutely not an ordinary student!
Even he is directly considered the powerful magical beasts and magic disaster two kinds of conditions, only thought of that kind of convergence route.
Because if it was an indiscriminate magical disaster, then prioritizing going to Bunyan's side would be much safer than fleeing out of the forest on his own!
...
"Go!" William shouted outright!
"Alright ..." Drosandi nodded quickly as if in a daze.
While Rex silently followed, Josh was ready for battle, taking his staff out of his magic ring and getting it into his hand.
At the same time, Josh was experienced enough to use his magic power to help William and the others, collecting the magic crystals and magic cores gained from killing the magical beasts just now for temporary safekeeping.
Wind System, Advanced Auxiliary Magic - Dandelion Dream!
A group auxiliary magic, after Josh's chanting, was applied to everyone.
Their speed instantly increased.
With this kind of magic, Drosandi and Rex, too, were slightly more at ease.
Only William, whose mental power was continuously focused on the depths of the Sage Forest, wanted to know exactly whether the source of that feeling came from whether it was a powerful magical beast or a magical disaster.
If it was a powerful magical beast, it would be fine, but if it was a magical disaster ...
Damn, that would be dangerous!
