Mo Fan’s classes on Magic Theory did not have good attendance, but he could not have cared less about that. Ever since he had learned that they were allowed to combine the three classes into one, he had asked Mu Bai to handle Magic Theory while he focused on magic duels and demon creatures. The shift was extremely effective.

The public class for magic duels would be held the next Friday. Being a public class not only meant all students were allowed to participate in it, but even other lecturers and leaders of the school could attend. It was an important class at the school. The quality and scale of the class would decide the lecturer’s reputation.

Mo Fan’s group held another excursion before the public class. A lot more students showed up this time. Almost all of them were eager to see the Earthworm Gully, as rumors about the previous excursion had already spread wildly among the students.

More students signing up for the excursion meant more money for them!

When Ritchie lost to Herr Casa, Zhao Manyan had lost half of the gold he had saved up for them. He decided to earn a portion of it back through the excursion. Otherwise, they might not have the capital to take part in the betting for the upcoming class.

“We’ve earned ten thousand gold from the excursion. Those assh****, not only am I going to beat the crap out of them and ruin their reputation, I’ll make them lose all their gold too!” Zhao Manyan promised.

They put in a lot more effort in the excursion to satisfy the students. Not only did they bring the students out to see the rare Half-Lunar Bone Beasts, every student also went back to the school with full hands.

Their only goal was to get revenge.

They were representing their country as part of their cover. They could not afford to shame their country’s name!

——

It was finally Friday. Nelson, hailing from the Institute of Liberty, was a reputable teacher of magic dueling. Almost every young Mage who was interested in becoming a fighter wanted him to be their teacher.

Mo Fan could not help but scoff at the statement.

What a bunch of idiots! One could only learn the necessary skills to be a fighter by going through real wars and ferocious battles! If they really wanted to become fighters, they should go roaming in the wilderness alone or fight against the hordes and kingdoms of demon creatures. They would easily learn a great deal as long as they could come out alive!

Bai Hongfei was an unreliable guy like that at first, but his temperament had changed completely after he paid a visit to West China. If he had not been a few years behind them and had a weaker cultivation, his strength would be on par with theirs now!

One had to be covered in blood before they could become unbeatable. Mo Fan had been through all kinds of situations. Meanwhile, Nelson was living like a prince while using his mouth to teach. Why would he be afraid of Nelson?

The public class was being held in a huge stadium. The students were seated around the dueling ground like the Colosseum. The stadium was easily big enough to hold an international tournament.

Nelson and two eye-catching assistants stood at the center of the dueling ground. The two assistants were wearing tight-fitted fighting outfits which delicately displayed their impressive curves, making the other lecturers envious of Nelson.

They had no idea if Nelson had coerced the two assistants for sexual favors, but they would be satisfied if they also had assistants like them standing at their sides on such a big occasion.

“Today!”

Nelson’s voice echoed in the stadium. There were over a thousand students in the stadium. The front rows were occupied by the school personnel and the lecturers from other factions. They all treated Nelson with great respect.

“I’ll be demonstrating Magic Seals to everyone. What are Magic Seals? First, let’s conduct a simple experiment. Is there any student who’s willing to volunteer for this?” Nelson asked.

A lot of teachers and students quickly raised their hands to volunteer for the experiment.

Nelson picked a male student in the end. Mo Fan knew who the student was. It was the same guy who tried to mess with him with a difficult question on his first class, Simpkins.

Simpkins walked to the center of the stadium calmly, like he was used to staying in the limelight, yet his eyes were glittering proudly.

“Lecturer Nelson, what should I do?” Simpkins asked respectfully.

“Attack my assistants with a few Intermediate Spells,” Nelson said.

“Got it!”

Simpkins looked at the two assistants and decided to target the brunette on the left.

Simpkins started channeling Intermediate Spells. He purposely added some fancy light to his spells to show off his outstanding control. The spells looked spectacular and dangerous!

The brunette was a Wind Mage. She moved as agilely as a gust of wind. She had no trouble dodging Simpkins spells, regardless of their speed and accuracy.

Simpkins was not pleased with the outcome. He began to attack with his quickest spells, yet the brunette was able to dodge them easily, even when the spells sprang forward with the speed of light.

The other assistant suddenly appeared behind Simpkins, diving at him with a beastly aura.

It took Simpkins by surprise. He was forced to withdraw his attacks and defend himself.

“As you all have observed, many spells have difficulty landing on the enemies when they are moving at high speed. Spells that are slow are completely useless. However, if you focus too much on speeding up your spells, you might overlook the potential threats around you,” Nelson said.

The students nodded. Not being able to land their spells was a very serious problem.

Most spells had obvious signs when they were being channeled: the Star Patterns, Star Constellations, and Star Palaces! Not many people could attack their enemies without alerting them. If their enemies were smart, including demon creatures, they could dodge the spells by observing their signs. It was often a struggle to land spells on agile targets.

“Today, I’ll be teaching you an advanced technique, the Imprint Magic I’ve invented myself!

“There are many kinds of Magic Seals. The simplest kind are the Seals that contain our Will. When we focus on a single target, we can see through its movements with ease, but when we are going up against multiple enemies, we can’t focus on a single target for a long time. Therefore, I’ve invented the Seal Tagging Technique. It works by tagging the enemies with a Seal so you can lock your spells on the target to improve your accuracy.”
