Chapter 12: Chabao's First Battle
Battle Club.
The full name is Aislyn Magic Academy Magic Combat Discussion Club. It is called a club for friends, but after years of development, the famous Battle Club has become a super large club with a thousand members. They were often led by several college instructors, with sixth- and seventh-year seniors as the main force, and took the third- and fourth-year witches to the front-line battlefield to collect benefits.
That’s right, it’s taking advantage of the situation. The witches' way of warfare is very different from that of humans - this is a story for another time. In short, after years of development, the Battle Club has become a super club that stands on par with the four major secondary professional clubs.
"The medical facilities here are quite ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) complete. Even if you accidentally kill the witch, there is a nurse who can bring your soul back."
When the Battle Club was mentioned, the blonde loli's expression became excited, and she enthusiastically introduced Jiang Cha to the Battle Club's complete safety measures - although the girl and He Qin agreed that it would be very unsafe if they could accidentally kill the opponent.
"What if it's too late?"
"The president will lead people to blast open the gates of hell and get the people back from the Styx."
Lina answered as if it was a matter of course, completely ignoring how much shock this light-hearted remark brought to the girl.
"Well, it's my fault for questioning the witch's magic."
The witches who can nail fate and even block the river of time will not be surprised by anything they do now.
The Battle Club covers a large area. From the outside, it looks like an enlarged version of the Roman Colosseum. The magical information emitted in the air is so complex that Jiang Cha's brain instantly goes into overclocking state.
She could even vaguely see the afterimages contained in the magic information. It was a series of witch battles. The thrilling and dazzling magic afterimages almost dazzled her eyes.
The vigorous fighting spirit and bloodthirsty murderous intent contained in it even made her extremely calm brain boil with blood. It took her a few seconds to barely suppress the urge to find someone to fight.
"Chabao, how high is your mental level? Most witches can't be as calm as you when they first come to the Battle Club."
Seeing the girl acting as if nothing had happened, Lina exclaimed in great surprise.
"This probably has nothing to do with the mental coefficient."
Jiang Cha spread her hands: "It's inherent magic."
"Oh~ Then I won't ask anymore, hahahaha~ I'm looking forward to fighting you more and more!"
"Stop it."
He Qin frowned and patted Lina's little head. The huge fighting spirit and the remaining bloodthirsty murderous intent here made her very uncomfortable. She didn't have as convenient magic as Jiang Cha, so she had to rely on her willpower to suppress the impulse.
It was similar to the infection brought by witch knowledge. If a weaker race came here, they would most likely lose their minds and go crazy on the spot.
Lina, however, stuck out her tongue awkwardly as if nothing had happened - after all, she came here for no reason, and the environment could not affect her at all.
"Lina, are you bringing your classmates to fight again?"
"Hahahaha~ You don't look like a fighting witch. Don't bully your classmates."
"I won't!"
The golden-haired loli is still very popular in the battle club. Senior students kept greeting her along the way, and she pretended to be angry and responded to the senior students who teased her.
Everyone walked to the door of the Battle Club and saw a tall witch wearing a short top and shorts, revealing a large area of white skin that sparkled in the sun.
"Hey~ Who are these two, Lina-chan?"
"It's my roommate, Senior Cathy. I'm here to recruit new members for our battle club. Chabao~ fill out a form."
Lina responded casually, and handed the girl a surprisingly simple form. There were only a few lines of text on it, with basic information such as name and grade, and it didn't even ask about inherent magic.
After hesitating for a while, Jiang Cha filled in [Close Combat] in the fighting style he was good at and handed the form back to Senior Sister Casey: "Is it that simple?"
"It's not that easy. The assessment of the Battle Club is very strict..."
Casey looked back and saw many witches who were curious and came to watch the fun all took a step back. Then her eyes returned to Lina: "Come on, it's up to you. Go and fight with your roommate and let me see."
"Hey! I’m a newbie! Is that really okay?"
Lina screamed on the spot, the assessment of newcomers is a very troublesome thing.
"Why so much nonsense? Just go when I tell you to."
Casey kicked her on the butt, directly kicking her from the twenty-meter-high platform to the fighting stage, and then turned her head to look at Jiang Cha: "Why, you want my help too?"
"No, no, no."
Jiang Cha didn't want to be kicked twenty meters away and fall to the ground, so she jumped onto the fighting stage swiftly.
The space on the battle stage was not very large, only about the size of a football field. It was definitely not enough for the senior students, but it was enough for the two first-year witches who had not learned much magic.
"Oh! Very neat! Chabao is indeed a good candidate for battle!"
"I told you I wouldn't make a mistake."
"But I haven't even learned a few magic tricks yet."
The girl spread her hands helplessly. A few was an understatement. During her intensive review last night, she had only memorized four spell models from the textbook, two of which were the [Cleaning] and [Solidification] which had no combat effectiveness.
"It's okay~ I don't know any magic..."
Lina had just said half of her words when Casey impatiently rang the bell to start the battle. Jiang Cha opposite her reacted extremely quickly and shot out the [Lightning Arrow] with just a raise of her hand.
The distance between the two was only a few dozen meters, and the lightning arrow reached Lina in just a few tenths of a second.
This instantaneous speed is the benefit brought by Jiang Cha's inherent magic. The speed at which she constructed the spell model was incredibly fast, and her reaction speed almost reached the limit of her body.
However, this sneak attack was still too conspicuous, and the flying speed of the lightning arrow was so fast that the witch could not react to it.
"Wow! This is dangerous!"
While shouting, Lina tilted her head to avoid the lightning arrow that left a charred mark on the ground and scattered electric currents.
"Then I'm here too. Be careful, Chabao! This is inherent magic."
Before she could finish her words, four fireballs appeared in Lina's hands and rushed towards Jiang Cha at a speed faster than the lightning arrow. This was not over yet. In just a few tenths of a second, the four fireballs even changed their trajectories, blocking all the girl's escape routes. At the same time, another round of four fireballs appeared in Lina's hands.
Fourth Ring Magic [Fireball Continuous Spell]. With Lina's witch-level magic power and the high utilization rate of her inherent magic, she can almost become a rocket car with unlimited firepower, bombarding her opponents continuously.
"It's not that easy after all."
Faced with such a dangerous attack, the girl even had time to pout. Just when the fireball was about to hit her face, the scorching plasma flame almost scorched her hair that was protected by magic.
Jiang Cha bent down instantly and avoided four fireballs floating in the air by almost flying close to the ground. Four lightning arrows appeared one by one around her and were fired continuously.
Of course, the power of first-level magic cannot be compared with that of fourth-level magic, but as long as the casting speed is fast enough, it is not difficult to cast low-level magic continuously.
"That kid has some tricks up her sleeve."
Casey whistled leisurely, slightly surprised. Although she knew that the assessment would not be difficult for Jiang Cha since Lina dared to bring her, she did not expect that a transfer student could actually fight with Lina, who had trained in the Battle Club for a month.
Although this golden-haired loli looks silly, she is a genius in fighting.
"Are all the new students nowadays monsters? Hey, could you do that when you first entered school? Continuously firing lightning arrows."
"How can it be possible!"
"It's impossible for someone to be so neat, right?"
"Go, go, go, you're talking so much, do you have what it takes to have a fight?"
The two senior sisters were watching and were about to start fighting.
He Qin's expression was still nervous. The assessment was not important as long as Jiang Cha was not injured.
"Chabao, are you so strong?!"
Even Lina, who was running and shooting at Jiang Cha on the court, was surprised.
"With the convenience of inherent magic, I am now in a state of dual casting."
The girl's voice was somewhat... cold? Indifferent? None of them were right. To be more precise, it was more like a machine, without any emotion or fluctuation.
The clear indigo light on her body also showed that what she said was not false.
"Being able to perform double casting is already a freak!"
Lina yelled in dissatisfaction. Is this guy in Versailles?? Dual casting, running two spell models at the same time, and can also achieve instant and continuous casting.
What kind of monstrous level of control is this! She has only been in school for less than 24 hours!
However, having said that, Lina still has the upper hand on the scene. Fourth-level magic is fourth-level magic after all. Not to mention its power, the magic power contained in each fireball is several times that of Jiang Cha's lightning arrow.
The durability of her magic is also on a different level. Her fireball can even smash a lightning arrow head-on and continue to fly forward.
The reason why Jiang Cha was able to maintain the situation was because of the super computing power brought by her inherent magic. She cleverly used the shooting angle to make the lightning arrow hit the fireball from the side, deviating its attack trajectory. At the same time, she kept moving to avoid the explosion and was able to barely protect herself.
"Hey, Jiang... Lina's roommate."
At this moment, Casey, who was standing on the platform, suddenly spoke with an amused expression on her face.
"The principle of enhanced spellcasting is very simple. You just need to charge more magic power into the spell model. As long as the spell model does not collapse, you can charge more magic power. The specific amount of magic power you need to charge to avoid collapse depends on your control."
Lina's intuition immediately told her that something was wrong. Although she didn't believe that a witch could master the skills of strengthening the spell on the spot, but...
"Fuck! Chabao, you are really capable!?"
Looking at the lightning bolt that paused for a moment in the center of the girl's palm and then suddenly changed from azure blue to purple, Lina couldn't help but curse out loud.
"Then there is multi-casting, as long as..."
"Cathy-senpai!!"
Lina yelled in exasperation, and the fireball in her hand instantly grew larger, colliding with the enhanced lightning arrow, causing a violent explosion. Because she reacted a beat too late, she suffered a bit, and even the hem of her magic robe was slightly ignited.
"Okay, okay~"
Casey spread her hands and looked at Jiang Cha, looking helpless.
"I think I know."
The girl's voice was still inorganic.
But the lightning arrow behind her... suddenly split into four!
