Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 13 Magical Beasts
Chapter 13 - 13 Magical Beasts
The practical drill in Saji Forest was going quite smoothly.
There were indeed many low-level and mid-level magical beasts in the outer area, and they were not of particularly ferocious types. Stronger hunters could deal with them. Even for the more troublesome mid-level ones, Rex's magic could defeat them. Naturally, Su Lian just needed to be in the front ro
w easily.
According to their progress, as long as they moved steadily and surely, they could reach the passing hunting requirement in three days.
In fact, that's exactly what they did.
Su Lian was also glad to have some leisure time. When he had nothing to do, he would chat with Josh and also show some knowledge of alchemy to create common topics. After all, he was a junior alchemist and could perfectly pretend to be a high-level warrior interested in alchemy.
"Wow! In just three days, we've hunted enough magic crystals to pass the requirement!" Zhuo Sandi had just taken stock of the spoils.
It was already night, and they were sitting around a bonfire.
"There are naturally many magical beasts here and their strength is not strong. This is the result of the academy's intentional control. As long as you hunt normally, you can basically pass. After all, you've just entered the academy not long ago, and the requirements won't be too strict," Josh said
with a faint smile.
In this world, there are two types of magical beasts.
One type is natural magical beasts.
They are monsters born from the magical power gathered by various complex magic elements between heaven and earth, which finally condenses into a magic crystal.
When this kind of magical beast is defeated, its body will quickly turn into magic elements and dissipate, leaving only the condensed "magic crystal".
At the same time, due to the uncertainty of the appearance of natural magical beasts, even in human activity areas where the magic power is stable, or even in cities, magical beasts may be condensed and born.
Therefore, the magical beasts temporarily summoned by common summoning magic are usually this kind of natural magical beasts. It's just that the magic crystals condensed by summoning magic generally won't last long, and the summoned magical beasts will dissipate.
The other type is breeding magical beasts.
They are born through the combination and reproduction of magical beasts, and of course, there are also special cases such as splitting birth.
After this kind of magical beast is killed, its body is not much different from that of a normal beast, and it can even be eaten. However, usually, the stronger the breeding magical beast, the sturdier its body is.
Similarly, they also have magic crystals in their bodies, but these crystals are nurtured along with the growth of the magical beasts, so they are more stable and suitable for the production of magic arrays, magic items, etc. Therefore, the magic crystals of breeding magical beasts are generally als
o called "magic cores".
For summoning magicians, it is impossible to temporarily summon breeding magical beasts. If they want to control and summon them, they need to defeat them in advance and sign a contract, which is a very troublesome and difficult thing.
As for which is stronger, natural magical beasts or breeding magical beasts, there is no clear evaluation.
Because there have been extremely terrifying existences in both types!
...
"Then we can take it easier later," Su Lian said with a faint smile.
"Huh? Aren't we going to strive for a good ranking? It can also raise our average credits," Zhuo Sandi asked in confusion.
During these three days, she could clearly feel that she was fighting with all her might, and Rex had also been on edge all the time.
But only Su Lian really gave people a very relaxed and carefree feeling. He could even chat with Josh during the battle.
It seemed that... he didn't care about the result of this practical drill at all.
"The credits don't have to be high. Passing is enough," Su Lian said in a seasoned tone.
"I think so too," Rex chuckled.
"You two boys are so boring. Humph!" Zhuo Sandi was a bit unhappy.
Josh just smiled beside them. He was also feeling very relaxed in his heart.
Because originally he was just here to get credits in this aspect. As long as the junior schoolmates and school sisters he was escorting were all safe, he could also get his credits normally.
Huh?
At this moment!
Su Lian's archmage-level spiritual power detected a trace of powerful magical power fluctuations.
This feeling... is it that kind of magical beast?
This is interesting. Hehe.
...
"Ah~ I'm sleepy. I'm going to bed first," Su Lian pretended to be very sleepy and lay down under a big tree.
"So early?" Rex was a bit surprised.
"Humph, I'm going to bed too," Zhuo Sandi was still a bit unhappy.
"Go to sleep peacefully. I've placed magic items around here that can detect danger," Josh said with a smile.
Originally, the escort mission was to protect secretly, and under normal circumstances, they couldn't interfere. But Josh was not a combat student. In order to better ensure the completion of the escort mission for this kind of students, they were allowed to provide some help within a certain extent
.
"Good night," Su Lian waved his hand.
"Good night."
The others also responded briefly and leaned against the big tree to fall asleep.
About half an hour later.
A faint magical fluctuation quietly spread out.
It was a low-level wind magic - Sleepy Breeze.
At this moment, Su Lian opened his eyes.
Spiritual perception!
Have they all fallen asleep? The magic that enhances sleep is a bit redundant.
Su Lian gently stretched his body and then left the place.
It was a low-level dark magic - Dark Vision.
...
On a small rocky hill in Saji Forest, several adventurers dressed in different clothes, who even seemed to be a temporary team, were sitting around a bonfire.
"Haha! You lost again. Hand over the gold coins quickly!"
"Damn it! Your luck is like you're cheating!"
They were playing a kind of card game, similar to poker, but unfortunately, there was no such thing in this world.
"Yo, good evening, uncle and... oh, there's no auntie," Su Lian greeted them when he arrived.
"What do you want, kid?" The uncle, who was happily collecting the money, asked casually.
They had already noticed Su Lian, but they just continued playing their own game.
"Ten gold coins. Can you please also keep an eye on the safety of my classmates and senior? I have a little matter to attend to," Su Lian said as he threw out a small bag, which landed precisely on the stone where they were playing cards.
"Oh? Do you have a target for independent hunting?" The uncle looked at Su Lian meaningfully.
Su Lian was a warrior and couldn't easily detect any special magical beasts that they hadn't noticed yet either.
You know...
They were the secret bodyguards of noble kids like Connie. They naturally followed along during the practical drill. But with the presence of teachers and seniors, they were a bit bored, so they just gathered together.
"It's just a special magic item," Su Lian said as he casually tossed a magic item whose function was unknown.
He meant that he had discovered something with this magic item.
The uncle squinted his eyes and looked at Su Lian, and the other people also looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
This kid...

Is he a noble? Or a son of a wealthy merchant?
He doesn't look like either. It's a bit strange.
"All right, go ahead. We'll take this task. But if your teacher counts this as hiring external help and deducts your credits later, don't blame us," the uncle said.
He directly divided the five gold coins, giving two to each person.
Who cares about his identity? As long as he gives the money!
"Then..." Su Lian drew the long sword from his left waist with his right hand and pulled out another shorter sword from his back with his left hand.
In a fighting stance!
"Thanks!"
Immediately, he rushed towards the dense forest at an extremely fast charging speed!
...
"An interesting little guy," the uncle smiled.
"That posture doesn't look like a pampered noble young master."
"Who cares? As long as he doesn't threaten my young master, I don't care if he burns down the forest."
"Let's keep playing cards. We have money again just in time."
Soon, they forgot that Su Lian had been there. They just paid a little more attention to Zhuo Sandi and the others while fulfilling their task of protecting their respective young masters and ladies.
