Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Early the next morning, the bad student Xie Yan decisively chose to skip class.

And because the Orb of Deception cannot be used, the troll Zalak can only hide in the dormitory secretly, preparing for the ultimate dream of "blow up the school".

Blake and Kanrisade went to take classes with Instructor Deliana honestly.

The pirate also plans to complete the "Magic Rune Literature" course today, get the certificate of completion, and then sneak into Dean Alya Blue Moon's side, waiting for an opportunity to steal the key to the treasure house.

While mingling with a group of yawning elf apprentice souls on the way to the classroom, Blake saw a haggard-looking Natalie Serling.

The latter looked like he hadn't slept all night, and he was rubbing his eyes and dozing off.

He looked around, stepped forward and asked:

"How is it? Is Dean Lanyue easy to deal with?"

"Look at your bad idea!"

The black-robed ship's doctor clenched her fists, intending to punch Blake, but finally gave up. She lamented and said:

"I made a magic paper all night last night, I really should let you try it!

Dean Lanyue is so strict. Every mistake must be explained to me clearly. I only learned last night that there are seven different ways to release a holy light spell.

Let’s not talk about this anymore. I will go to her office for class later.

By the way, Dean Lanyue seems to know about the curse. She said some very strange words to me last night.

But she seems unable to resist the power of this curse. "

"Ignore her for now, take the opportunity to figure out the structure of the dean's office, find the location of the treasure house, it's important to find the treasure. Be patient with the papers, be a good student, please her, and wait for news from me."

Blake gave Natalie a few words of advice.

If I want to say more, I feel a gust of cold wind blowing. The dormitory administrator Fellridge, who always has a gloomy face and is very serious, is holding his own cat that also drowned ten thousand years ago in his arms. Looking coldly at Blake and Natalie in front of him.

He warned:

"The first class is about to begin. Arrange your robes and prepare for class. Credits will be deducted for being disheveled. In addition, the college prohibits first-year students from falling in love.

If they are so sneaky again, both of them will have their credits deducted.

If you want to graduate successfully, please abide by the rules of Nathalas Academy. "

This scolding made Natalie roll her eyes and made Blake sigh sadly.

The pirate looked back at the elf apprentices who had failed to graduate in ten thousand years. Seeing those ghosts dragging their tired bodies to the classroom, he couldn't help but feel despair for these unlucky ones.

That’s weird!

Seeing the unlucky looks of these elves, Blake felt very happy.

He just likes to bully elves and sissies, and he doesn't know where this bad habit came from.

Soon, as the indifferent instructor Deliana walked into the classroom on elf high heels and holding course handouts, the ring classroom that was noisy just now immediately fell silent.

"Captain, do you still want to challenge the final test of the magic runes course?"

Kanrisade, who was sitting next to Black, asked in a low voice.

Blake nodded before he could.

"Snapped"

The sound of a wand slapping against the podium sounded, and Blake and the thin boy who were whispering were immediately alert. The next moment, a magic ball was thrown like a flying piece of chalk and hit Blake's head.

The latter held it accurately in his hand and crushed it open with the movement of his fingers.

It's not him who spoke, so why throw it at him?

Hey, this is too obvious, okay?

The cold voice of the upper elf ghost Driana came from the podium:

"What are you two freshmen talking about? Do you think the knowledge I impart is too boring? Or do you have a deeper understanding of magic runes?

Do you want you to come up and talk, and I'll go down and listen? "

The entire classroom was silent. A group of old ghosts who were intimidated by Deliana, a famously stern instructor in the academy, did not dare to say a word, not even a whimper of dissatisfaction.

But the next moment, with everyone watching in astonishment, Blake Shishi, who was wearing the Corruptor's robe, stood up, wearing the full-covering hooded faceplate, and said to the equally astonished Mentor Deliana:

"Geniuses have genius learning methods. It doesn't matter if I can't take this magic rune class. Now I'm applying for the course graduation assessment, and I have to choose the twelve most difficult runes!

After I finished, instructor Deliana had to give me an A+ score as agreed. "

"Agreement? What agreement?"

The upper elf ghost mentor raised her eyebrows in confusion, but then she sneered and said:

"Very good! Very energetic. I appreciate this confidence that I don't know where it came from. I haven't seen such a confident freshman student for a long time.

There's going to be an assessment, right? Come on then. "

The ghost waved his hand, and the large space between the podium and the student seats in the entire circular classroom was cleared.

The bookshelf and other sundries placed there were lifted into the air by the extremely precise magic hand, and then placed in the corner at the command of Deliana's finger.

On the ground made of special stone, there are three super complex large runes, which are the runes of arcane, fire and ice magic.

This knowledge is also taught in Dalaran.

However, when human spellcasters learn magic runes, it is enough to teach them up to six levels of consistent runes. No matter how complex the compound runes are, apprentices cannot master them.

And this Nathalas Academy is doing the opposite.

The graduation standard for the magic runes course for first-year students is seven levels of runes. If you want to get high scores, you have to challenge more complex ones. Black is going for an A+, which means he's going to draw the terrifying twelve-fold matching rune.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Antonidas, the current leader of human spellcasters, comes over, it may not be possible to complete it in one go.

"Don't be impulsive, Captain!"

Kanrisade hurriedly pulled the sleeves of Blake's robe and whispered:

"You couldn't even finish drawing one level of runes yesterday. Don't go up and embarrass yourself."

"Calm down."

But Blake wasn't afraid.

The captain snorted coldly and arrogantly.

He picked up his drawing pen and walked towards the twelve-fold arcane rune, under the indifferent gaze of mentor Deliana and the exclamations of a large group of elf apprentices.

The pirate lay there, picked up the drawing pen without hesitation, filled it with magic ink, and began to draw with his head down.

A standard rune drawing pen made by Narthalas Academy, after absorbing enough ink, can just complete the drawing of this extremely complex magic rune.

Not a drop more, obviously designed to be like this.

This means that if Blake makes even the slightest mistake, the challenge will fail.

He will be severely ridiculed by the sharp-tongued Driana, and become a laughing stock in front of a group of apprentice ghosts who will never graduate in ten thousand years.

but.

"The freshman started to draw! Queen Azshara, he still drew with his eyes closed!"

An exclamation rang out from the student seats, causing surprise in the classroom. However, Deliana glared hard and told the students to quiet down so as not to disturb the freshman Blake who was drawing.

The pirate was literally drawn with his eyes closed.

But this was not a deliberate show-off on his part.

Instead, he was facing this super complex twelve-fold magic rune in front of him. The interlaced lines were too complicated. In this case, his body's vision would deceive him.

He must complete this painting with another vision that can better overlook the field of vision.

"As expected of you, Captain!"

But Kanrisade had seen through it all, and he couldn't help but applaud the captain's dark wisdom. The captain is using the new knowledge gained after 10,000 years to complete this challenge from 10,000 years ago.

And the cold and strict Deliana would frown.

The upper elf realized that something was wrong, but did not interrupt the examination process in front of him. Nearly ten minutes later, the pirate finished drawing the twelve arcane runes perfectly with his eyes closed.

An extremely complex, extremely beautiful pattern that resembled a blooming violet flower and was still shining with arcane brilliance appeared in the circular classroom.

Amidst the applause that resounded throughout the classroom, Blake put on a calm posture, waved his wrist, and began to draw ink into the drawing pen again, preparing to complete the drawing of the remaining two runes.

"etc!"

Deliana walked down quickly from the podium.

Under Blake's stunned gaze, the upper elf stretched out his magic hand, followed the inaudible magic thread, and clasped the hidden and floating thing in front of the pirate with great precision.

The dark green Eye of Kilrogg, which had been treated with warlock skills and was very penetrating, was captured by the elf from its magical concealment.

"Nice trick, neat deception."

Black thought that Deliana would be furious, but the high elf was unusually calm at this moment, and even a glimmer of admiration flashed in her illusory eyes.

But maybe the pirates were wrong.

Because the next moment, this indifferent elf ghost returned to its previous harshness and inhumanity.

She pinched the pirate's Eye of Kilrogg and twitched her delicate chin.

Said to Blake:

“Unfortunately, cheating is cheating.

For students, this is a terrible sin that cannot be forgiven! Go ahead, after drawing the remaining two runes, I will allow you to complete the course and give you an A+ score.

But if you can't draw it, first-year freshman Blake Shaw, because of your academic fraud, I will revoke your admission qualifications and expel you from Narsalas College! "

The classroom fell silent.

"You elf don't have martial ethics!

It just said that the test must be passed, but it did not say that other methods cannot be used. This is a loophole in the rules of your Narthalas Academy. I found a loophole in the rules you set and took advantage of it.

How can it be called cheating? "

Blake patted his chest and retorted righteously:

"Although you are a mentor, you can't frame me with such a terrible crime. Who doesn't know in my hometown that Black Shaw is the most honest and studious child.

You are insulting my character.

Besides, this is a magic test, right?

Is there any problem with me passing the exam using magical means that you have never seen and knowledge that you have never heard of?

This is the confrontation between knowledge and knowledge!

This is the motto of Nathalath Academy. Are you going to violate your own code? "

"Well, although it is a quibble, it does make some sense. This is indeed a loophole in the academy's rules."

Deliana wasn't angry.

She glanced at the Eye of Kilrogg in her hand and gave it back to Black.

But the next second, the elf reached out and released a weird magic, accurately cutting off the magic line connection between Kilrogg's Eye and Black, temporarily sealing the use of the warlock's magic.

She made a "please" gesture to the pirate and said:

"Then continue, I will use my knowledge to seal your knowledge, and you can try to reconnect the magic thread, or use your true wisdom to complete this exam.

But I want to remind you that the exam time is only thirty minutes. "

Looking at the stunned pirates, Deliana no longer spoke venomously at this moment, but said with sincerity:

"Or you can choose to give up, return to the student seat, listen to this lesson honestly, and accumulate bit by bit knowledge that you can truly integrate.

You have to remember, freshman.

All knowledge is sacred.

You cheat them and they punish you. "

Kanrisade, who originally wanted to cheer up the captain, fell silent after hearing what Deliana said.

Blake glanced at the Eye of Kilrogg with a toothache that had its magic thread cut off. It would take at least several minutes for him to reconnect the magic thread of this thing. In this way, there would not be enough time to draw the remaining two runes. .

The pirate thought that he had made a big mistake today, but he also thought that he would not remember the scandal tomorrow, so he put down the drawing pen without a care, planning to try again after the cycle ends tomorrow.

But he heard Xalatas whispering in his ear with a short laugh:

"What's wrong? My omnipotent little master.

Are you ready to give up your actions, to be influenced by the ghost who has been dead for ten thousand years, and then decide to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and become a warm-hearted and rule-abiding paladin in the future?

Well, that's not what Shadow and Darkness wanted to see.

You are a pirate.

My little master, honesty is never a virtue you should pursue.

Besides, don’t you still have me as your loyal servant? Grab that pen and let's join forces to teach this pesky elf a lesson. "

Xal'atath whispered:

"These elves curled up and died in their despair. They were the remnants of being swallowed up by the malice of the world and saw no other way out. But even the long-lived dead, they were too arrogant.

How dare you say such reasonable words in front of my little master is a terrible sin, and such arrogance needs to be punished.

Her ectoplasm filled with painful memories was destined to be delicious.

I want this soul. "

"If you want it, I'll give it to you?"

Blake chuckled lightly, and under Deliana's astonished gaze, he picked up the drawing pen filled with ink, leaned down and began to draw the second twelve-fold flame rune.

In a whisper, Blake whispered:

"How could such a good mentor fall into the hands of a villain like you? I'll give you a few vicious souls some other time as a reward for helping. Let's seal the deal?"

"I will always listen to my little master's arrangements. You can use me however you want. It is my greatest honor to be able to contribute to your cause."

Xalatath whispered in a very lustful voice:

"Of course, deal."
