Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 10 The First Practical Combat Drill
Chapter 10 - 10 The First Practical Combat Drill
The normal academy life was rather comfortable for Su Lian.
After all, unlike the military academy and the Knight Research Institute, which had all kinds of strict requirements, the class schedule of Polaris Academy was from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with a long lunch break and a nap time in between. In fact, he had quite a lot of free time in a day.
There were also ways to make himself even more idle. For example:
"Next, I will teach you the basic theory of magicians. Do you all have your textbooks with you?" A young male teacher said expressionlessly.
"Teacher, we are warriors. Is it necessary for us to learn the stuff of magicians?" A student asked in confusion.
"Exactly! The things about magicians make my head ache just looking at them." Another student also joined in the make an uproar while holding the textbook.
Indeed, compared with warriors who tended to focus on training, magicians who were more inclined to research were really boring to them.
"Since you are all warriors, you should know that one day you will confront magicians. In the end, if you don't even understand the magic of your opponents, are you going to pray that they will fight you by hitting with their staves?" The teacher said coldly.
"Ah—"
All kinds of strange cries sounded. Obviously, they were reluctant but had no reason to refute.
"Then open the table of contents of your textbooks. I will first show you an overview of what we will be learning this semester." The teacher prepared to continue the lecture.
"Teacher, you haven't introduced yourself yet?" Su Lian raised his hand to indicate.
"Oh." The teacher was slightly taken aback: "My name is Jay Christie. You can just call me Teacher Jay."
"Teacher Jay, I happened to have studied these because I used to want to be a magician. This is the score of my written examination at that time. Can I apply to study this course by myself in the future?" Su Lian took out the old written examination score and said.
"Oh? Let me have a look?" Teacher Jay was a bit disbelieving.
"Here you are." Su Lian stepped forward.
Teacher Jay looked at it carefully and suddenly noticed a detail.
The written examination record from the year 3243?
Jay was slightly shocked in his heart. Was this little guy only five years old at that time?
"Is there any problem?" Su Lian asked.
I hope he doesn't notice that my grandfather used magic to change my name, Su Lian thought with a bit of nervousness.
"Sure. You can arrange your study of this class by yourself in the future. However, if you don't pass the final examination, you will have to make up the lessons and take the make-up examination during the vacation." Jay didn't ask too many questions and returned the written examination record to Su
Lian.
At the same time, he asked the other students.
"Do any of you, like classmate Su Lian, have taken the written examination for the junior magician by yourself? If so, give me your written examination record. You can also study this class by yourself in the future. Of course, the consequence is the same if you don't pass the final examination." Te
acher Jay said.
"Is this really possible? What about my score which was just barely passing at that time?" A student asked.
Naturally, there were some people who had once yearned to be magicians and studied in advance, but there were relatively few of them.
"Can you guarantee that you still remember it? You need to have at least a medium-level score." Teacher Jay refused coldly.

"Ah!?" The student let out a strange cry and reluctantly put down his raised hand.
"Then I'll be leaving, Teacher Jay." Su Lian bowed politely.
"Okay, go ahead." Teacher Jay said.
The other students could only watch enviously as their classmate left to enjoy the right to study by himself.
"Hmph! Lucky guy. Next semester will be the basic theories of intermediate and senior magicians. Let's see how you can show your records then!"
There were those who were envious, and naturally, there were also those who were jealous, but they were just muttering to themselves in a low voice.
If Su Lian heard this, he would definitely give a polite but contemptuous smile.
Intermediate? Senior? I'm already a Magic Instructor myself. How could I not pass those written examinations?
However, Drossandi looked at Su Lian who was leaving, and there was a bit of doubt in her lovely big eyes.
Su Lian, he isn't a noble, right? The knowledge of magicians couldn't be learned by ordinary people before entering the academy. Could he be the child of a merchant family or something?
...
Leaving the classroom and returning to the dormitory.
Su Lian took out a thick textbook from his magic ring. It was a textbook about knight modification.
Although he wasn't studying at the Knight Research Institute anymore, he had taken a copy of all the main textbooks that he could bring with him.
"Hmm! Although the magic in this world is wonderful and fascinating, what attracts me the most is still the mecha. After the railway transportation starts to make a profit, I must buy the best materials to build a mecha that belongs only to me."
"The cost-effectiveness may not be high, but it's so cool!"
"And in terms of individual ability, a fully-fledged knight mecha must be extremely powerful. Otherwise, it wouldn't have changed the previous wars."
"I still have to learn what I should learn..."
"Sigh, the road to conquering the world is long and arduous."
Su Lian let out a slight sigh and then plunged back into the ocean of knowledge.
There was no way. He might not be very interested in learning other things, but this was about mechas, mechas!
What man could refuse a mecha that was so huge that he could only look up at it!?
No!
Absolutely not!
How could men who could watch an excavator at work for half a day refuse this romantic mecha!?
...
Just like that.
Su Lian used various similar reasons to turn all the courses related to magic into self-study classes. Although it was a bit high-profile, it also freed up a lot of time for himself.
At the same time, this high-profile behavior would only be temporary.
Because...
When a classmate was often absent from some courses and didn't chat with others in normal times, most people would forget about him.
There was no way. Su Lian basically only communicated and got to know people he thought were valuable, and completely ignored the others.
So, before long, he became an insignificant existence in the class.
Soon.
Two months of the first half of the semester passed in a hurry.
...
"Today, it's your first practical combat drill outside, which will last for five days."
"The academy will also arrange teachers and knights to accompany you. At the same time, senior students will also go with you to perform their escort tasks."
"Now, check again whether you have all the survival supplies in your magic rings and backpacks? We will set off on time in half an hour!"
The teacher in charge finally announced on the stage.
Theory and academy exercises definitely couldn't meet the growth needs of normal warriors or magicians. Practical combat drills were naturally one of the necessary courses. The practical combat drills of Polaris Academy were basically carried out in the surrounding areas.
For example, the place they were going to this time was the "Sarge Forest" to the east of the academy.
There were quite a few magic beasts of different levels from junior to senior in the outer areas. For the freshmen whose admission requirements were at least Middle-level Warriors, they could basically handle them on their own.
Of course, because it was real combat after all, there was still a probability of death. So the academy would take it more seriously, arranging teachers and knights to accompany them, and even giving protection tasks to senior students to let them join the escort team.
However...
Su Lian's eyes were completely attracted by those five mechas that were six meters tall!
Wow!
It's the retired and modified version of the previous generation of Frost Blade Knights! As expected of Polaris Academy, it actually managed to get the retired military knight as the academy's escort!
This version was taller, and the giant sword it could wield was heavier. The armor protection and the power of its built-in magic attacks were even stronger. It's a pity that it was lacking in speed and was a bit more expensive to manufacture, so it was retired.
But this taller feeling!
It's so damn cool!
