Just as I finished speaking, everyone looked at me with shock in their eyes. I coughed awkwardly a few times and then looked at Madol and Lima.

"This is not a battle at all, you guys are just using money to crush your enemies. Madol, count and see how many reagents you've used."

"Oh." Madol took out a test tube rack from her ring, and it was lined with empty test tubes.

"Probably more than 50."

"Don't these cost money?"

"Well... most of them were collected from the waste materials in my father's lab, so the money spent is just for the test tubes."

"Waste materials..."

My goodness, it seems that I can't understand the aristocrats in this country with trial and error. Looks like I'll have to find out where the treasuries of each noble house are located.

"And what about you, Lima? I saw you switching several magic books earlier, and magic was flying everywhere. I don't think the magic stones in those books are waste materials, right?"

"Well... actually, these magic books were leftovers from the magic troops, so..."

"Alright, I understand now. I know your fighting style, and I know your weaknesses. Do you want to experience your weaknesses now?"

As I spoke, I took out my crossbow.

"First, Madol, get ready for battle. I'll try to explain your weaknesses in a simple way."

"Yes!"

Lima nodded and left the battlefield, and I approached Madol.

"Let's begin."

"Yes!"

After saying that, Madol tossed three test tubes into the air. Judging by their colors... they were ice-based. It seems that her strategy is to weaken the opponent's speed while causing some damage.

However, this is exactly what I anticipated, which is why I chose a crossbow.

The biggest weakness when using test tubes is when they are thrown. The flight path of the test tubes is a parabolic trajectory if you consider the target as the reference point.

Then...

I aimed my crossbow and shot three arrows. The test tubes burst in mid-air and turned into three large chunks of ice that fell to the ground.

At the same time I shot, Madol also fired two arrows at me with her crossbow. But I just smiled slightly and raised my hand. A sturdy ice shield appeared in front of me, and the two arrows only managed to penetrate a little. They weren't powerful enough to pierce through.

Compared to a bow, a crossbow is more accurate and has a higher firing rate. However, its power decreases as a result. Regular arrows couldn't pierce my ice shield, let alone a crossbow.

Of course, the elves' bows and crossbows are not within the scope of my explanation. I have no idea how to explain why their racial technology is so powerful.

Madol, frustrated that her arrows failed to penetrate, put away her crossbow and took out a test tube. She threw it directly at me.

But while she was shooting, my mana was slowly recovering, and the ice shield itself didn't consume much. By the time she finished her shot, my mana was fully restored.

Of course, I wouldn't use Blink in front of everyone. I took a smoke bomb out of my ring and threw it on the ground. While the smoke filled the air, I used Blink to appear behind her, pointing my crossbow at her.

"You lose."

I laughed.

"What..."

The person turned their head to look at me in surprise.

"When...how did you end up behind me?"

"In any case, let's talk about your weaknesses. In summary, it's that you're too easily seen through."

I dismissed the combat enchantment and continued, "Both test tube magic and crossbow arrows are attacks that can be easily seen through. Let me think, generally speaking, as long as a mage who knows defensive magic observes and fights you, it's not difficult. Does that mean I have an advantage when fighting a warrior?" replied the person.

"Well, as long as the opponent hasn't realized that you're using test tube magic for the attacks, then yes. Otherwise, evading them with their speed is definitely not difficult. Well, as for ways to improve, I'll let you know later. Now, moving on..."

I was about to call it a day when suddenly I heard the school bell ringing outside.

"Huh? Is it already the end of class?" I looked at the time, it had only been two hours.

"Cough cough, the practical class was originally meant for students to test each other and for the teacher to give guidance. Only you, the teacher, give individual instruction," said Hede who was familiar with the situation.

"Of course, I'm not saying this is a bad thing. On the contrary, I think it's more meaningful than before."

"I'm glad to receive such a frank answer," I smiled.

"Alright, class dismissed. By the way, can I assign homework?" I asked.

"Although you can, it's probably better...not to?" Hede's reaction felt very student-like.

"Okay, then just write a paragraph about how you would defeat Miss Madol and Lima using your own skills. And then, class dismissed."

As soon as I finished speaking, everyone quickly left.

Only Oyado and Princess Cher stayed behind. Oyado quickly came up to me and asked, "Brother! Did Oyado perform well today?"

"Yeah, today was thanks to Oyado's help," I said, patting her head.

"Um...Fir, my father the King will come to the academy today and he specifically mentioned that he wants to talk to you. Can you come to the Medor Hotel outside the academy tonight?"

"The King...did he say what it's about?"

"How could he tell me," she replied.

"Alright, I will go. Don't worry."
