Chapter 306: High-energy strike detected on the way
"The observatory needs repairs? Get lost. This thing was only renovated five years ago. How can the department afford to renovate it?!"
"Want to borrow the Sky Dome? No matter how far away you are, it's better to go there. Using that thing once costs the department more than renovating the observatory. The stingy principal won't even give us a discount."
"Need the latest model of star-fixing instrument? Who wrote this application? I want to send him a Full Moon Shattering."
The director of the Starry Sky Department threw all the application reports in her hands onto the table and lay back on the sofa without caring about her image. She was overwhelmed and speechless by the reports submitted by the department.
The profession of mages never has too much money. If you dare to ask a group of mages to do research with an unlimited amount of money, they can come up with a plan to allocate all your funds within half an hour. Of course, there will not be any corruption in it, and all of it will be used for research plans.
However, it is well known that the wizard never likes to bargain when buying things. As long as the wizard is not being taken advantage of, it is completely normal to buy at a market premium depending on the urgency of the need.
Even street vendors know that as long as the quality of the goods is good and the wizard takes a fancy to them, it is basically the same as making some extra money.
The wizards spend money readily, so strict financial audits are naturally needed. After all, the Winterhold Magic Academy is allocated limited research funds each year, and even less is allocated to the departments.
This does not include the Starry Sky system, which is not unpopular but not very popular either.
At the same time, the Starry Sky Department has not produced a high-level wizard or a professor who has published enough papers for several years, which has made the funds allocated to the Starry Sky Department increasingly scarce.
Even Dorothy, the head of the Starry Sky Department, has to start a side business selling [Starry Sky Contract] as a subsidy for the department.
"That bunch of losers usually ask for a lot of funding, why haven't they produced a high-level mage? I can't even count on a [Legendary] level mage, but a [Heroic] level mage would immediately improve the department's funding."
Obviously, Dorothy was also very annoyed by the professors and students in her department who asked for more money but produced less results. "If you had published more papers that could be accepted and received a bachelor's degree award, you wouldn't be unable to apply for the money to renovate the observatory."
Dorothy lay down on the sofa angrily. As for those disappointing guys in her department, she just wanted to use [Falling Starlight] on them.
"Ah, give our Star System a new Heroic rank. Legendary rank is even better."
Rather than making a wish, these words are more like a daydream, and a most illogical one at that.
Even Dorothy herself did not take this wish seriously until she realized through the Star Wizard's unique keen perception of starry celestial bodies that something seemed to be wrong with the sun.
"It feels like a meteorite? Who is so reckless as to release a large-scale destructive spell in the school? Release a meteorite in the daytime. Are you stupid?"
The head of the Star Department, who felt similar fluctuations, looked through the window at the clear daytime and couldn't help curling his lips, "Whose student is this who released a meteorite in the daytime? His graduation scores must have been deducted."
The Starry Sky Mage's main venue is not in the daytime. Only when there are no clouds at night, and surrounded by the light of stars, can the Starry Sky Mage be in his strongest form.
But what she felt next made Dorothy jump up. "The sun? Spells involving the sun? Sun-level?"
Pushing open the window, without any of the grace a wizard should have, Dorothy jumped out of the window and looked at the clear, cloudless sky.
Then she saw it.
A meteorite, and not the meteorite with a diameter of less than 50 meters that the Star Wizard could summon even under the night sky.
This is a huge star that is over 300 meters in diameter just by visual estimation!
It is unknown from how high a height the meteorite fell, but the friction with the atmosphere caused it to burn into flames. There is no need to guess that when the meteorite hits the ground, it will not only shake the earth, but also spread flames across the world.
The kinetic energy of this meteorite falling from high altitude is enough to destroy a city.
When that thing hits the ground, all living things or inorganic matter, whether dead or alive, within the land area around the landing point, measured in miles , can feel Mother Earth letting go, rise directly into the sky, and then fall into Mother Earth's arms without protection.
It would be a rare experience, if anyone was still alive and conscious at that time.
But this is not the end, meteorites are not the only things falling from the sky.
The sun, which occupies the most eye-catching position in the sky, is releasing an explosive energy toward the earth. Fire is falling from the sky. The atmosphere is ignited by the highly concentrated energy, and the entire sky is red and purple.
"High-energy attack detected on the way, all teachers and students go to the nearest shelter immediately!"
"Repeat, high-energy attack detected on the way, all teachers and students go to the nearest shelter immediately!"
"Currently, the academy's protection - for military level, the level is increased, the level is increased, and the city level protection is turned on."
"The force field begins, the space transfer technique is activated, and the backup energy of the Mage Tower is turned on..."
The entire Winterburg Magic Academy was covered by a semicircular invisible force field, and all the teachers and students in the academy were forcibly transferred to the shelter.
"Target one, large mass falling, priority means: blasting, transfer."
All the wizard towers lit up, and under the protection program of the Winterhold Magic Academy, all the wizard towers fired the simplest and most brutal fireball spell together, and endless fireballs bombarded the meteorites in the sky.
Fireballs, big fireballs, continuous fireballs, and even several mage towers worked together to release a super giant fireball with a diameter of one hundred meters, like the sun on the earth, rushing into the sky and flying towards the meteorite.
“Boom!!!”
There was an explosion like thunder, and then it began to rain from the sky. Those were the fragments of the meteorite that exploded, densely impacting the invisible force field.
But without that huge mass advantage, the remaining fragments would undoubtedly not be able to cause any damage to the invisible force field.
But at this time, [Sunfire Shock] had already landed, there was not enough time to react, and there was no real countermeasure.
What the Winterhold Magic Academy's protection program can do is to absorb the energy of all the wizard towers and form a blue protective shield above the Winterhold Magic Academy.
The moment it was formed, [Sunfire Shock] hit the protective shield.
"boom!!!!"
In an instant, the earth began to shake, and a terrifying shock wave spread in all directions, crushing everything in its way.
The shrill alarms continued to sound, the wild beasts ran out, and the students who were transferred to the shelter had not yet come to their senses.
After the impact faded, the only ones standing outside the Winterhold Magic Academy shelter were Mo Cheng with an innocent look on his face and Principal Muzel with a sullen face.
Mo Cheng looked innocent, shrugged and said, "Like I said, these two spells are very powerful and I can't control them."
