Princess's Struggle for Survival-Chapter 236: Touching Something Incredible

A clear and transparent crystal ball, inside it, the sun-like dazzling flames burned on the plain, rumbling thunder tore the sky like a spider web, steep rocks protruded from the ground, and the storm and rain slid over the ridge in the thunder.

This was the first time the crystal ball had shown such a rich picture, even the professor in charge of the test unconsciously sat up straight, his eyes fixed on the scene projected inside the ball.

In addition to the professor, other students present also saw the changes under Astrid’s hands, each of them opened their eyes wide, and even the originally slightly noisy team became silent at this moment.

Although they were all freshmen, the noble children who had been exposed to magic through private tutoring were no fools.

After watching so many people’s elemental affinity tests, they could naturally feel this obvious difference.

This was certainly not a good quality affinity, at least it had reached excellent, and judging by the light inside the ball, the elements that Astrid was close to were not a few.

Could it be that this princess Astrid, who once thought that studying magic was too time-consuming and gave up voluntarily... was actually a one-in-a-million magic genius...

Standing at the end of the line, with her excellent eyesight, Lyra, who saw Astrid’s test results, slightly opened her pink lips, stood straight, and gently grabbed the cuffs of her coat with her fingers.

Princess Astrid’s elemental affinity is indeed very high, no wonder she casts spells so fast every time.

But... even with such high elemental affinity, Princess Astrid can still cast very few spells at once...

Does this mean that her mental power reserve is even less than she thought.

Just as everyone was thinking differently, the crystal ball continued to change inside, as deep as ink, black dyed the crystal into a light-tight ball, and it seemed that no light could penetrate the surface from one end to the other.

As one of the two advanced elements, the test of light and darkness was always difficult, and there were very few people with high affinity.

Looking at the strange light in the ball, the tester did not speak for a long time, the talent that Astrid showed had surpassed all the freshmen who had tested elemental affinity in the past ten years, and it was difficult to estimate her future achievements.

At the same time, a faint light came out of the darkness, although it was small and weak compared to the deep darkness, it did exist and was faintly shining.

Astrid’s dark element affinity was certainly excellent, and the fact that she could exist in such a concentration of dark elements, her light element affinity should not be bad, at least it was considered excellent.

Wait... the fire, thunder, hurricane, rainstorm, the solid ground, and the two elements of light and darkness...

Where is the ice element particle?

Could it be that even geniuses have a lack of an elemental system?

Noticing the tester’s slightly stunned gaze, Astrid gently spoke.

"Is it done?"

Hearing the clear female voice, the man came back to his senses and nodded with difficulty.

"Yeah... it’s done..."

Originally, his respect for Astrid was only because of her noble princess status, but now it was somewhat different.

Such a high elemental affinity would certainly make Astrid learn any type of magic with half the effort, and it was almost certain that she would surpass him, a small spell caster in the future.

Hearing this, Astrid raised her hand, a slight "click" sound was clearly audible in the classroom that was silent enough to hear breathing.

A few ice chips fell from the woman’s fingers, falling on the ground like broken diamonds.

The man swallowed, looked at Charlotte next to him, who had a faint smile on her lips, as if she had known everything in front of her.

"Professor Charlotte... you see..." The tester opened his mouth, with a bit of solicitation in his eyes.

This situation was beyond his understanding, and someone with a deeper understanding of magic was needed to make a judgment.

Charlotte’s knowledge was sufficient, and her strength had reached the level of an Arcanist mage, the gold content was real, and she was the perfect person to make a conclusion.

Hearing this, the countess did not immediately respond, but held the quill and wrote quietly, the man saw the handwriting on the parchment, the column of ice element was written with a beautiful handwriting with a line of explanation.

The active ice element affects the reality through the crystal ball, the effect shown on the scene has surpassed the excellent level, I temporarily define it as, beyond the standard.

Even Professor Charlotte thinks so... so...

The man calmed his mind and signaled the recorder on the left who engraved the information to prepare.

"Respected Princess Astrid Calliste... excellent in six elements of water, thunder, wind, fire, earth, light... dark element affinity has reached Superior..."

"The ice element, because the affinity shown has far exceeded the excellent level, there is no suitable record for it, temporarily defined as..."

"...beyond the standard."

The deep voice echoed in the classroom, after complete silence, there was a rustle of conversation, Astrid nodded when she heard this, greeted Charlotte and left.

"What is beyond the standard?"

"The affinity is higher than the superior level, it seems that no one in the history of the empire can do it."

"Could it be that Princess Astrid inherited her father... the Frostfall Knight of Crimson Blood?"

Walking to Lyra, seeing the pink-haired knight standing quietly, Astrid glanced at her and whispered.

"Stay with me for a while."

Originally, Astrid was ready to go out and wait, because now most people’s discussion focus was on her, and it was always uncomfortable to stay, but considering that she had seriously affected the plot, perhaps there would be someone in this freshmen class who was not in the original plot but worth paying attention to.

Lyra obediently replied with a yes and continued to accompany Astrid to watch the test.

In fact, Astrid was thinking too much, except for herself, the evil princess who should not be in the freshmen team, everything was going according to the original plot.

After finishing the elemental affinity test, the next one was the magic theory test, after waiting for a while, Astrid got the news that she and Lyra were assigned to different test rooms.

Walking to Lyra’s test room, Astrid turned around and said calmly.

"Remember what I said, do your best."

"Yeah, I know, Princess Astrid..."

I don’t know if this is encouragement, Lyra walked into the classroom, found her seat, turned her head and saw the silver figure walking to the other side, eventually disappearing behind the wall.

In fact, she would work hard without Astrid saying it, Lyra picked up the pen and silently cheered herself up.

Since talent cannot be changed, we can only rely on the acquired efforts.

The next two tasks must be done with all her strength to have a little chance to be assigned to the same class as Princess Astrid.

Come on, Lyra!

Half an hour later, the test site.

Astrid, who got the magic theory test paper, put the tip of the quill into the ink bottle, gently dipped some ink, and carefully looked at the test paper questions.

Because it was the basic test before the class assignment, the difficulty was low, most of the questions Astrid could see the answer at a glance, flipping to the second page was some advanced questions, obviously to filter out some people, to put it more clearly, it was the medium difficulty questions.

In the original plot, Lyra could not answer even the simplest questions, if it was not for the excellent fire element affinity to help, she might not even enter the second-to-last class, only to the bottom class.

But that was not necessarily a bad thing, Lyra’s foundation was weak, it needed more time to consolidate the foundation, the slow pace of the course was conducive to her growth.

After quickly answering the simple questions, Astrid estimated the score, deliberately answered two or three medium-difficulty questions, flipped over to see the last few "high difficulty" questions.

Try to answer the intermediate spell of the Sorcerer, the complete plane element arrangement and the slowest frequency of mental power transmission of the fire.

Fire is an advanced spell typically used by top-level Sorcerers and mages. It’s far beyond what apprentices usually understand, making it clearly unsuitable as an exam question for their level.

Astrid looked at the magic spell written in common language and Elders Speech below, and the small part of the element arrangement deliberately revealed for students to refer to, thought for a moment, gently put down the pen.

Because she had read the books about spells in Charlotte’s study, these questions were not difficult for Astrid, and she thought that those geniuses should be able to do it.

After sketching the diagram and inferring the related frequency according to the diagram and the characteristics of the fire element, Astrid continued to look at the next question, seeing the question, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, and her lips slightly opened.

Infer the partial characteristics of the spell according to the following Elders Speech information.

"You are the beginning of everything, and the end of everything, the mother of all things, the father of all gods, the source of all matter and energy, the master who controls time, life and death."

A simple sentence was laid out on the slightly yellow parchment, but it made Astrid wave a huge wave in her heart.

Is this... a magic spell?

Translated, it seems like a Bible or the beginning of a hymn.

If it is a common language spell that praises the elements as the main purpose, it is not surprising to have a similar praise format, but the line in front of her is Elder Speech, and all the Elder Speech that Astrid has seen is interpreted in simple and easy-to-understand sentences explaining magic, not praising or meaninglessly pointing to an elemental master.

The blood in her body seems to be temporarily solidified, Astrid faintly felt that she has touched something incredible, a feeling of electric numbness quickly spreads throughout her body, even the hand holding the pen has a little sweat.

According to the records of the Valeria Empire Encyclopedia, most of the ancient spells that have been handed down today have been compiled by Lady Gemini into common spells that can be chanted by modern mages, which leads to almost all mages to think that Elders Speech is a tool created specifically to release magic, not the daily communication language of ancient magicians.

The sentence she had seen just now... is it really a magic spell?

Astrid looked at the familiar handwriting on the parchment, the heel of the high-heeled shoes gently touched the floor, once again realizing that the world is more complicated than she thought.

Whether it is or not, as long as she sings it, she should be able to get the answer.

No, it’s not possible... it’s not appropriate to do so...

If it is really some kind of spell, she will sing it cheerfully, and it is likely that something beyond control will happen...

Compared with the spells that have clear common language "translations", Astrid knows very little about the consequences of chanting it, and out of prudence, she does not intend to experiment easily under the state of transmitting mental power.

Wait until you know more, judging by the appearance, this spell will certainly not be a low-level spell, if the chanting process pulls out her already little mental power, she is afraid no one can save her.

The blood-red eyes slightly lowered, Astrid silently went through the related spells in her mind, and her mood gradually calmed down.

But to get back on track, does this question have any meaning on the test paper?

Who can answer it?
