It has been two days since the last monthly trial. The result of the battle was that Bexia took the first place. Looking back now, Bexia even feels that she won too easily, almost without exerting much effort.
Although it was a chaotic battle, the four participants were actually divided into two teams. Bexia's fight against Galo was honestly not exciting at all. Galo had thought that he could defeat Bexia with his fast attack speed, but his high-speed sword technique was ruthlessly defeated by Bexia's blade dance. In the end, Bexia managed to knock Galo out with a single strike of her Falling Petal Palm.
As for the fight between Carter and the noble girl Zeya, it was better than Bexia and Galo's. After all, their battle was so fast-paced that most people couldn't even see clearly what happened, and Galo lost.
The battle between Carter and Zeya caught the attention of many people. At the beginning, they were evenly matched, but later Zeya, relying on her higher magical power, defeated Carter. This was a big blow to Carter's masculinity, and he lost the opportunity to compete for the first and second place.
As for the following battles, there was almost no suspense. Zeya and Carter were exhausted from their fight, while Bexia hardly exerted any effort. She resolved every fight with lightning speed.
Zeya didn't even fight against Bexia. After defeating Carter, she immediately conceded. She didn't have the intention to compete for the first place. Among the noble students, there were more than a handful with equal or higher strength than her, so getting the second place was already good enough for her.
Besides, did she even have the chance to compete for the first place in her current state? It would be better to give up rather than embarrass herself.
So, Bexia won another victory without even fighting, securing the first place again. This made the commoner students exclaim in surprise. Bexia once again became a celebrity in the school, and this time, she did it with her own strength.
As Rosé mentor had promised, Bexia and Zeya received physical and magical secret medicine as rewards. As for the intermediate combat techniques of the top twelve, they would be taught during the daily practical classes. To avoid any inconvenience, the combat techniques taught by Rosé were universal techniques called "Shattered Impact," which could be used with any weapon and were more offensive in nature.
"So, how does the physical secret medicine feel?" Carter looked at Bexia with envy. It was the physical secret medicine! He estimated that after becoming a true adventurer, he would have to save up for a long time to afford it.
"The taste is just okay, and I feel like the effect is not as good as the magical secret medicine. After drinking the magical secret medicine, I really felt a significant increase in magical power!" Bexia recalled the chief reward she had already consumed. The two bottles of secret medicine tasted really bad, especially the physical secret medicine, which was even harder to drink.
As for the effect, there was no noticeable change in her physical abilities. She didn't even feel any difference. On the other hand, the magical secret medicine increased her magical power quite significantly, making her feel more substantial than the physical secret medicine.
"Are you mocking me? Don't you know that the effect of the physical potion slowly changes and enhances the physique? How is it possible to have an immediate and obvious effect?" Carter looked at Bexia speechlessly and rolled his eyes expressionlessly.
"But it seems that your magical power is increasing rapidly. It hasn't even been a month, and you are already a Five-Star Magic Apprentice like me," he added.
"Ophelia sister gave me a special secret medicine. It accelerates the cultivation of magical power," Bexia replied.
In reality, that bottle of Elven secret medicine had no effect at all. It was absorbed by the Void God Essence as soon as she drank it. What truly made Bexia progress so fast was the peculiarity of the Void God Essence, which could absorb any magical power and elemental power. If others absorbed magical power like sipping water, then Bexia was gulping it down like a wolf. Although most of the magical power went into the Void God Essence, the amount she absorbed was still enormous.
Currently, Bexia could feel that the black magical power within her Void God Essence was at least five times more than the white magical power in her body. She had even tried the effect of the black magical power at some point, and the result surprised her!
Originally, he was just trying to channel black magic into the wooden sword, but the result was completely unexpected. The originally sturdy iron fir sword turned into a pile of sawdust in a matter of seconds, visible to the naked eye.
He then tried with an iron sword, but it was also affected by the black magic. It broke after a few uses, and even though it was a new sword, it became rotten and degraded, almost like a piece of rotten wood.
This was the first time Bexia had truly used black magic, and the result surprised him. He had only felt that black magic was stronger than white magic, but he never expected this level of power.
He went to the library specifically to find books on this subject. He learned that some people naturally possess special attributes in their magic, such as the power of fire or light. This type of magic is called variant magic or elemental magic. Those with such magic have extraordinary talents in practicing corresponding spells, and even without resting magic, their magic is much stronger than ordinary people.
But when Bexia searched for types of variant magic, he couldn't find any records of magic with the same attributes as his. The books in the Asman Academy library were very extensive, and if he couldn't find the answer here, it was unlikely he would find it elsewhere.
After that experiment with magic, Bexia never touched the black magic in the Chaos God Grid again. Originally, he wanted to use it in battle to test it out, but after that incident, he suddenly realized that using this black magic might not be a good idea. He had a feeling that if he unleashed this black magic, something major might happen.
"By the way, where did you go yesterday afternoon?!" Bexia didn't want to dwell on this topic and intentionally changed the subject. Yesterday afternoon, Carter didn't train with Guno as usual, and Bexia didn't know where he went. He only returned when it was time for bed, which had never happened before.
"It's nothing... I just had something urgent to attend to." Carter was unusually embarrassed.
"Is that so? But I heard from Guno that someone went to see Zeya yesterday!" Bexia continued in a sarcastic tone, "I heard that someone went to flirt with girls under the pretext of preserving their dignity, even disregarding their own mentor..."
"I... I...!"
