Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage 205 A small test for students

The group was surrounded by a large group of green snakes with black stripes, each snake was ten meters long and thick as the feet of an adult elephant. Its appearance was like that of the ancient Anacondas of the Amazon Rainforest, but with a small difference, poison. These snakes have poison.

After the Great Change, many wild animals mutated and received upgrades. One such example was snakes.

Anacondas of the old era were just big and super powerful, but they were not poisonous. Now, these snakes were big, super powerful, and also had poison. An extremely powerful paralyzing and somniferous poison.

After Liu Yang and Ivy had a small talk with Hao Jia, the other members of her group started to wake up.

The group ate breakfast before leaving for the deepest parts of the forest. They only walked a few minutes before encountering a large group of giant snakes.

zzzzzzzzzz

The group was surrounded by the snakes, they were making squeaking sounds as if they were prepared to attack their prey. The snakes were on the ground and wrapped in tree trunks, the group had a total of nine giant snakes.

"Watch they scales, they release the poison through the scales" Shen Wu warned again. He recognizes the species of snakes around.

The students were already prepared to fight. Their bodies glowed colorful colors, they were waiting for the teachers' orders to attack.

Hao Jia and Shen Wu looked at their students solemnly, the two were wanting to see their students' performance in real combat.

On the other hand, Liu Yang and Ivy were sitting on the branches in a nearby tree. Ivy was sitting on Liu Yang's lap while she was hugged, the two looked like a couple in love.

Occasionally, young men would look towards the couple. They just felt jealous and envious of Liu Yang because he was enjoying his time in an intimate way with Ivy.

Hao Jia asked the couple to do this, she was testing the students' minds. If they get too distracted looking at the couple, it shows that they had no focus.

This showed that she was absolutely right. Her students did not have much focus despite being university students. One or other still managed to focus on the wild beasts on their fronts.

"Focus on the creatures around you, forget about distractions. If you get distracted while fighting, death is certain. Even though these giant snakes are only wild beasts of rank 2 and intermediate level, their bodies are extremely resistant. Common magic cannot damage their scales" Shen Wu continued to warn the students. He liked Hao Jia's plan, but it was too dangerous. 

"Professor, these snakes are only rank 2 creatures. We are at least Advanced Mages. Killing these things is a piece of cake, "Xu Bao said in an arrogant, disinterested way. It looked like they had already won the fight before it even started.

"That's right, professor. These snakes are only creatures of rank 2. We are Advanced Mages, we can defeat any of them with just any spell "

"That's true. Advanced Mages can defeat rank 2 creatures as if they were nothing "

Some students were also thinking about the same thing. As beings much more powerful than their opponents, it was normal to think that the fight was already won before it even happened. This was a big mistake that can result in disasters and even deaths.

The other students who have faced many challenges in their lives knew that those guys were talking a lot of nonsense. A creature of rank 2 is not easy to defeat as they are saying, as there are many variables that need to be analyzed. These students were analyzing the situation to think about the best way to deal with it.

The teachers did not comment on the words of these arrogant students. They just focused on the students and the creatures.

If something goes wrong, they will act immediately. This fight was like basic training for students to see what a real group fight is like in the most dangerous forest in the world.

"You will fight this fight alone. Professor Hao and I are just going to look at what you guys are going to do. This will be an assessment of you "Shen Wu and Hao Jia were also looking at their students from afar.

"Professor, won't those two do anything?" A student pointed to Liu Yang and Ivy.

"They are analyzing the surroundings so that no other creatures will intervene. We are also doing the same thing on this side. You need to pass this little test alone "Hao Jia replied.

As two temporary members, Liu Yang and Ivy agreed to do this job. Liu Yang agreed to do this in order to travel more smoothly, at least before the two sides parted.

The group of students has a total of seven students while the group of snakes had eight. Snakes had an advantage by number, while students had the greatest strength. The outcome of the fight will be decided by the decisions of how the students will fight.

"We are just going to attack with our advanced spells and destroy these snakes quickly. We can't keep teachers waiting, "Xu Bao spoke authoritatively.

As the strongest student in the group, he felt like he was the leader of the group. It would make sense if he was not inexperienced in group combat against a group of wild beasts.

Xu Bao was the first to act, he showed Hao Jia or one of the girls that he was powerful as a Great Mage. He took out a wooden staff with a red gem at the end and pointed it at the snakes.

A strong light shone from his body and the energy of a Great Mage exploded.

"Fireball!!!!" As an arrogant young master, Xu Bao showed magic equipment in front of everyone. He wanted the most humble students to see this.

A large ball of fire appeared on the staff. The fireball was as bright as a beacon.

(Idiot) Liu Yang and Ivy looking at each other and laughed after seeing this scene. They already know the result of this stupid Xu Bao's action.

The two teachers only sighed when they saw this scene. They also already know the result.

"A medium quality magic device" One student exclaimed.

"Is this magic equipment of average quality?"

"Yes. Just look at the power of the Fireball. An initial spell with the power of a Great Mage is not so great and powerful. "

"That's true. It seems that that magical equipment is increasing the power of the fireball. "

…

The most humble students started to comment on Xu Bao's magic equipment, it made him feel good.

"Take this !!!!!" Xu Bao was in a good mood after hearing the words of the other students. He threw the giant fireball at the snakes.

zzzzzzzzzzz

The snakes squeaked and moved away from the fireball.

Booooom !!!!!

A big explosion happened when the fireball hit the trees. A big fire started.

The surrounding trees started to catch fire. The fire soon spread.

Zzzzzzzzz ...

The snake's hissing sounds become silent. It seemed that they hid and prepared to attack their prey.

zzzzzz ...

The only things that were heard were the sound of trees burning. The sound of hissing decreased until it was not heard.

"Professor, what are we going to do? The forest is on fire !!! " A student shouted in alarm. He didn't know if that was a big problem or not.

"You don't have to worry about a forest fire. Because it won't happen "Shen Wu already knows what will happen next.

"Professor, what does that mean?"

Seconds after the fire started, the flames started to go out. Nobody understood why this happened.

"Professor, what just happened?"

"These trees are special. They have the power to absorb flames to make them more resistant to fire. " Shen Wu commented.

"..." The students were surprised to discover this. If trees are uprooted to be used as material to forge magical equipment. Someone may be immune to fire.

"I hope you don't even try to do that. The Union of Latin American Nations can mulct and imprison you. If any of you try to remove these trees "Shen Wu understood the thoughts of his students after hearing his words.

"..." The students understood that something like that was very difficult to be stolen.

If so many people enter the forest every day, but none of them try to steal these trees. That means they don't even try because they know it is impossible to do that.

"Ahhh!!!!!!"

"Ahhh!!!!!!"

Two students cried out in pain when they felt something holding their feet too tightly. They had one of their legs broken.

Bang !!! Bang !!!

The students were suddenly thrown towards the trees and hit the logs hard.

"What happened???!!!" The students were frightened by this sudden event.

"Your fight is not over yet. The snakes are still hidden on the spot "Hao Jia did not try to save the students, as their lives were not at risk.

Roar !!! Roar !!! Roar !!!

To make matters worse, several dozens of sounds were heard seconds after the two students suffered the attacks.
