A violent collision sound echoed through the Magic Department's training room. "Do it again!" Rein roared, crossing his arms to absorb a heavy blow from the magic training dummy.The three-layer shield spell exploded in front of him, and the aftermath sent him staggering back, leaving a scorched mark on the ground."You're not fast enough." Fengke commented calmly from the side, "Come on, was that thing designed for me?" Rein gasped, "You even simulated the [High Frequency Fist Path], how is that different from real combat!""It is different." Elphi entered the room, holding the latest communication magic scroll she had just received, "The difference is that you only have seven days, and a real opponent's attack doesn't follow any rules."Fengke took the scroll and scanned a line of text:['Flame Commander Jiu Zhen, Second Executor of the Combat Department Tactical Class, aka 'Gray Fist', whose fist path integrates deconstruction spell techniques and explosive runes, has passed two [Surface Killing Certifications] and is now officially assigned to challenge the Magic Department."Evening, North Side of CampusAs Rein walked out of the Academy's main building, the sky had turned dark.He was about to head to the cafeteria, but he noticed the shadows in the alley in front of him twisting."Spell concealment?"He immediately formed seals, opened his spell eye, and a gray shadow suddenly charged out!"--!"The punching wind roared like thunder, and before the magic wall could form, Rein was blown aside, crashing into the stone wall, a sweet taste surging in his throat, and he spat out blood.The opponent, dressed in a gray cloak with rune-carved gauntlets and a cold expression, was none other than - Flame Commander Jiu Zhen. You have some guts." Rein struggled to stand, pain radiating through his back. "This is not a duel." Jiu Zhen said coldly, "It's a reminder.""You from the Magic Department just hide behind your formations and play tricks - when it comes to fighting, it's about who can knock the other down first.""I hate wizards, especially idiots like you who 'talk big on paper.'"He raised his hand and unleashed another punch, the air crackling.But just as his fist was an inch from Rein's cheek - "Stop." A cold voice rang out from the side, instantly freezing the air.Fengke had appeared behind Jiu Zhen, his left hand forming a seal, creating a spatial rupture that blocked the punch's momentum."This is a deliberate attack before the official battle; I can take this up with the instructor for spell accountability." Fengke's eyes were icy.Jiu Zhen stared at him for two seconds before finally withdrawing his fist and sneering, "You're much calmer than I imagined. Don't bring a corpse to fight." The gray shadow vanished in an instant. Fengke turned to look at the barely conscious Rein and crouched down to set up a formation to heal him."He's not only hitting you, he's hitting all of our stances.""We declare this battle as the first proactive counterattack of the Magic Department - the goal is to crush the [Gray Iron Fist]." Character Quote - Flame Commander Jiu Zhen "I don't hate magic, I just want to smash your theories that you use to escape failure with a single punch."
