Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Chapter 66: The difference between us

After Xiao Mei collected all the cards, the students looked toward Liu Yang with triumphant glances.

"Junior Liu Yang, what do you have to say about that?" Fan Gu said arrogantly, he thought that after showing this performance, Liu Yang would show more respect for them.

"As I said before, your performance is pretty poor. Look closely "Liu Yang activated the sphere again, it began to release much more magical energy than before.

"You !!!" Fan Gu couldn't take it anymore, he was about to explode when he saw Liu Yang release much more magical energy than before. The number of creatures that were attracted was twice as many as before.

"I'll show you why your performance is so poor" Liu Yang looked at the number of wind creatures running towards him, he just stretched before waving the hand.

Thirty-eight knives and two wind spears appeared, the spears had more concentrated power than usual.

"What he is doing?? How can only knives of magical energy defeat these creatures? "

"He is overestimating himself"

Many private conversations arose after seeing what Liu Yang was doing. Only Xiao Mei understood what Liu Yang did, she understood what he was showing her.

When the creatures reached ten meters away, Liu Yang waved his hand and the knives fired first.

Shuooooo !!!! Shuooooo !!!! Shuooooo !!!!

The knives rightly pierced the weaknesses of each of the creatures. The thirty-eight golems and wolves fell, then both spears fired.

Shuooooo !!!! Shuooooo !!!!

The speed of the spears was much faster than the knives. Before the snakes could reach a meter from the group, they were pierced and defeated.

In just a few seconds, all forty creatures were defeated. Liu Yang took all the cards, the number of points he earned was very great.

The spectators gaped and their eyes were almost popping out of their sockets to see what Liu Yang had just done, to them it was like a dream. The speed that all forty creatures were killed was only a few seconds.

After this scene, the other groups realized that Liu Yang must have achieved an absurd amount with his method of defeating the creatures. Some even started to feel greed, but when they remembered who Liu Yang was, they calmed down a little, but the thought of stealing Liu Yang's black card was still on their minds.

"Did you understand why your performance is so poor?" Liu Yang spoke only those words, but each was like a mountain pressing on their minds.

(Is that the difference between us?) The group members wondered, even Xiao Mei asked this question to herself. They realized that the distance between Liu Yang and they was very large.

"You may think this year's competition theme is not right for you, but you need to remember one thing. A mage always needs to be prepared for any kind of situation. If you only trained the power and the casting speed, I can only say that you are a terrible mage. "Liu Yang spoke harshly. As a control mage, Liu Yang had to focus not only on controlling his power but also on the amount of magic energy used, speed and power.

Liu Yang had to learn to control all these factors to become a control mage. For him, a mage needs to have a balance between the three factors, but he did not fit this standard because his cultivation was sealed and he could not use his powers any way he wanted.

Before a mage could cultivate a Great Mage, mages needed to train the three pillars of the magic, which was power, speed, and control.

Before following one of the three paths and focusing only way of it, mages need to find out which way of fight and training best fit the mage. This was a personal choice, the mage, who had to decide which method was most appropriate for him.

Liu Yang and Liu Xia were one of the exceptions, both trained early on to be control mage. Liu Xia liked this method and accepted training, in the case of Liu Yang, he was forced to accept this method because of Liu Xia.

As his cultivation was sealed and he could not waste magical energy, he was forced to learn to better control his powers.

Each mage had a different type of focus depending on the element, but a balance between a mage's three pillars was important, control, speed, and power.

Each type of mage had its unique characteristics, they had their strengths and weaknesses.

Speed mages were the ones who were quick to cast spells, they were versatile in defeating opponents quickly, but over time, they are exhaust because they can't control their powers properly.

Power mages were the ones who had the most destructive and powerful spells, but it took a while to cast and they had the largest reserve of magical energy of the three types.

Control mages could control the amount of magical energy by using their powers, they can increase the power of a spell the way they want. This type of mage was above the previous two because they had both speed and power, they can control the amount of magic energy used in their spells, powers can be increased or decreased depending on the mage, and this can increase or decrease the casting speed.

Control mage was the hardest type to train because the control of magical energy was too difficult to do and the time was too long to master. Because of the harsh requirements, many did not choose to become this type of mage.

After Liu Yang showed some of his skills, the East School group was silent and did not dare to be arrogant as before. They realized the difference between them and Liu Yang.

The group just focused on fighting the wind beasts in a focused way, they were trying to improve themselves after that vision. Even though they didn't become control mage, in the end, they still needed to train that pillar a bit.

The scene of Liu Yang defeating the creatures using only the power of the elements was still in their minds. He showed that a mage did not only have to use his spells to defeat an opponent.

Only the most prominent mages of the powerful clans had a different mindset, for they were those who would be trained to be clan successors or great mages. These members would be trained from the outset to have the three pillars before becoming Great Mages, this was to help them understand which of the three types of mages they want to be in the future.

It took the two groups of students a few days to completely clear the great tide of creatures. They got an absurd amount of points.

This scene was not only happening at the element of the wind but also at the other four elemental locations. This was one of the extra challenges for competitors to get more points.

But since there were only three locations in each of the elemental locations, a school couldn't achieve more than one special location within the elemental territory. Because the number of creatures was too large and it took a long time to clear everything, schools had to decide which location they would try to clean. However, there will always be a place that will have more than one school at the same time, in the end, a big fight will happen to see which group will fight against the creature of rank 4.
