Novel Full 313 Chapter 313: Practical Training Test
It was fortunate that the woman was not far from where Rezen is and he just slightly raised altered his path to reach that woman
“Sense the magic inscriptions on your flying stick and only inject your mana into the main inscriptions. The main magic inscriptions would then make your mana flow into the supplementary inscriptions without your control. This would make you fly faster” Rezen said causing the woman to look at him
One will expect that Rezen will stay to talk with this woman for a longer period of time but he didn’t do that. In fact, he kind of ignored her after giving a useful advice
It’s not like Rezen is a complete newbie to human psychology. In fact, there are times when he relies on manipulating another person’s train of thought to achieve what he wanted to achieve
If he comes off too strong then this woman might feel uncomfortable with him and thinks that he has some ulterior motives which he has
It was better to act as if he was merely acting out of pure kindness without expecting anything in return. This would make this woman feel more comfortable and she might also grow some trust in him
Rezen is not in a hurry. The current him is still too weak, it was better to focus on his own development and when he grew stronger he could then start focusing on increasing the forces under him
For a moment, the woman stared at Rezen’s back that is getting farther and farther. However, that didn’t last long before she tried to listen and act according to Rezen’s advice
To her pleasant surprise, Rezen was actually right. All she had to do was to inject mana from her hands into the main magic inscriptions she can sense from her flying stick and the remaining work is done by her flying stick
This method increases her flying speed and it didn’t take that long before she caught up to Rezen
“Thank you” she said while hiding her face with her mage robe. She knows how negative people view her physical appearance and she does not want to show such an unpleasant sight to someone that helped her
“It’s nothing” Rezen casually replied with a nod and the woman nodded back at him before she continue flying
Despite the fact that Rezen thinks that they are both tribal people, that woman is still better than him when it comes to the wisdom aspect
After all, even if a mage doesn’t have resources, the talented ones could still instinctively understand magic. Hence, their wisdom when it comes to the mysteries of magic could still be better compared to untalented mages with resources
Rezen has always lacked talent and he relied on resources to get to where he is now. He naturally cannot have the same level of wisdom as these talented mages have if he doesn’t have a chance to learn them from great Instructors or magic books that are no different than great treasures
It didn’t take that long before the woman increases the distance between her and Rezen quite greatly
——-
After more than ten minutes of riding on a flying stick, Rezen’s student token finally indicated that he doesn’t have to use the flying stick anymore
The 6 minutes ride is not exactly 6 minutes ride. It pertains to the average time that a mage can fly from the classroom to the site of the practical training class
As such, Rezen took more than ten minutes before he could finally travel on foot and he immediately went off his flying stick before storing it in his spatial ring
As soon as Rezen’s feet landed on the ground, winds gathered at his body and his speed exploded
There were many students ahead of him since even though he used a trick, he barely went from one of the low performing students to one of the average ones
Rezen successfully overtook several of his classmates thanks to the fact that he is a Deviant Mage in the 3rd cycle. His cultivation rank might be on the low end but he is a Deviant Mage, he is stronger than a Body or Spirit Mage at the same level and even those that are one cycle above him
Finally, after overtaking several of his classmates, Rezen reached the practical training site
It was inside a gym-like building and it seems like this gym currently is something that only Rezen’s batch will use as it only has them inside
As soon as Rezen set foot inside the building, his attention was immediately attracted by exactly fifty crystals connected to a 1-meter pole
These crystals contain the name of the students, including Rezen’s. He has a hunch that these crystals have something to do with the training that this class would provide to the students
However, since there are only students there and the Assistant Instructor was still not present, Rezen has to patiently wait
“Yoooo! Why did you just arrive now? You performed below than I was expecting” a familiar voice said and Rezen felt someone tapping his back although tap might not be the most appropriate term but rather someone hitting his shoulder hard
As soon as Rezen heard those words, he cannot help but curse in his head. He was trying not to gain attention since he did perform below what one would expect from someone that defeated 3 mages at the same rank as him. He does not want his classmates to look down on him
“I’m still tired from last night’s training, leave me alone” Rezen grumbled, using tiredness as an excuse in hopes that his classmates would buy it
“Is that so? It’s good that you train hard but don’t let it affect your performance in the class!” The woman that is one of the three mages that Rezen fought said
This woman is none other than Porenz. She and Rezen didn’t have a lot of interaction but she was acting really friendly
Well, for someone that is your typical musclehead, that is not exactly surprising. She does look like the type of person that can easily get along with everyone, especially to those whom she deemed strong
“I know, I know. It wouldn’t happen again” Rezen replied and the two chatted for a bit before all the students finally arrived
As soon as all fifty of them entered the gym, the gym’s door suddenly locked itself and the whole place lit up with a bright red color before an earthquake suddenly occurred
“Aahh?!”
“What’s this?”
“Get lost!!”
The students have similar reactions to each other as they found the ground they are standing on opening up to swallow them
Some of them did get swallowed by the ground with only their heads remaining above ground
There are also people like Rezen that has many experiences when it comes to fighting that hone their reflexes that prevented the ground from swallowing them
As a battle maniac, Poren’s instincts were also great and she too avoided being swallowed by the ground
Before the students could think that someone is attacking the academy, the ground at the end of the gym opened up and it revealed a person
This person has a very muscular body and he was grinning at everyone. Just from the vibes alone, Rezen can see that person has a similar personality to Porenz. Both of them are battle maniacs
“Hello, my young chicks. Welcome to Assistant Instructor Thereb’s first class. As my welcome gift to all of you, I will show what will happen if you are too insensitive to your surroundings!”
As he said that, the people that were swallowed by the ground found themselves floating in the air while their entire bodies are covered with rocks

Even rollercoasters would blush in shame at how fast the students were rotating all thanks to their Assistant Instructor
This situation made the students that were able to dodge in time feel relieved. If they were not able to react in time, they would receive the same fate as their poor classmates
It seems like as students of a second-rate academy, none of them can relax and lower their guards… well, aside from one person and that person is none other than Treen
Rezen doubts that Treen has the reflex to dodge the Assistant Instructor’s attack but he was perfectly fine and he is one of the lucky students
After spinning them as if there’s no tomorrow, the Assistant Instructor let them fall on the ground with some of them vomiting as soon as they can
“Today’s practical training class might not be related to a mage’s reflex but I still wouldn’t have students that are defenseless. If you are in the wild, with that kind of trash reflex, it wouldn’t take that long before the magic beasts make a feast out of your bodies”
