Each mana artifact has grades. Grade C being the lowest and Grade A as the highest.
The mana artifact that the soldier was using was all Grade C. It was ranked not only about it's capability but also complexity. It must be said that a Grade A mana artifact has extremely complex magic that would put average magicians in trouble when being used.
Aside from that fact, a standard combat magicians was only capable of weilding 2 mana artifact. Even with the finest brain-boosting magic structure for 4th gen artifact, it could only allow 3 mana artifact to be weilded by average magicians at best.
The soldier on the recording was wearing the standard uniform of their own country, Zairus. Every soldier in Magic Corps also has the standard 2 mana artifact provided by the country. It was the 2 bracers that the soldier was wearing, a Grade C artifact that can be used by any combat magicians.
Wallace also noticed the other mana artifacts which was the ring on his left index finger, necklace, dagger, and a gun.
He tried remembering the fight that has occurred. The soldier can actually release all the magic skill he has but when it reached about two meters radius at the cloaked man, the magic disintegrates and will be a formless wave of mana would instead touch the mana sh.e.l.l of the cloaked guy giving no damage at all.
It was the perfected version of Magic Jammer. Apparently, the soldier doesn't seem familiar on it. The cloaked guy did not interrupt the magic casting of the soldier and instead allowed him to waste his mana pool. After the soldier spent a huge chunk of his mana, the cloaked guy used only a weak magic skill to penetrate the mana sh.e.l.l of the soldier.
It can be seen here as well that although the defense of the cloaked guy can be said to be almost perfect, he doesn't have enough destructive power in his offense. Wallace wasn't sure if the cloaked man spent all his money on the magic jammer and has to purchase a cheap mana artifact in exchange. He even entertained in his thoughts that the cloaked man was using multiple magic jammers.
"Well, if I would be the soldier... once I have noticed that the enemy was using the rare magic jammer, instead of me throwing skills randomly to test how much the cloaked guy could take, I would have utilized the surroundings to attack him. After all, magic jammer can only stop magic skills. Mana sh.e.l.ls has limitation, I could have used the dagger imbued by Wind Blade IV to close in for close combat.
That was for me who was highly trained in close quarter combat. But I doubt that it was the answer you are looking for." Wallace answered but was not finished speakinh yet.
It was obvious that since a magic jammer can block skills, you can still fight them on close quarter. But standard magicians mostly relied on their mana sh.e.l.l to defend themselves from close range attacks and has several skill to have a distance from the enemy.
Wallace thought of all the scenario and could only think of one opportunity to defeat the cloaked man without relying on close quarter combat.
"That was the time when the cloaked guy attacked. That man switching to offense means he cancelled the magic jammer, even the perfected version was not capable of allowing the weilders to be immune in magic jamming. The man obviously has weak offensive skills and relied on exhausting the soldier's mana pool to deal real damage. He may have miscalculated the soldier's mana pool and allowed it to escaped. If the soldier did not panic due to low mana pool, he could have used that opportunity to counterattack.
Especially the ring that the soldier was wearing, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the recently popular Molten Ring that has instant cast skill called Heat Wave so instead of using the bracer's stored mana to escape he could have used it differently." Wallace was done a.n.a.lyzing the battle and answered upon the best of his knowledge.
The bracers that soldiers of Zairus was wearing has a stored mana that can be used for emergency. He was sure that the soldier could have dealt damage to his enemy as Wallace observed how fast his magic invocation during the battle. The soldier could've just quickly stabilize his mana sh.e.l.l for defense and simultaneously attacked the cloaked man.
"Haha! You have a good eye Wallace. I won!"
It was Humphrey, the ethics officer who happily voiced out his thoughts. He has a fine build for a 17 year old student. It seems that he was working well with his close combat skills as Wallace noticed some callous in his hands too.
"It only means I lack real combat experience. It can be helped." Aaron said as he further explained to Wallace who was confused.
"You can actually be a member of our student council since my cousin highly recommended you. We also know that you topped the recent ranking in your cla.s.s in forging 5th gen artifact. We just wan't to ask you that as we have varying opinions."
Wallace nodded at this and don't know what to say about their carefree att.i.tude. He was actually expecting a strict and difficult council members to obstruct him from accomplis.h.i.+ng his mission.
"Fill this up and just 'submit' it." Aaron gave a tablet computer to Wallace and saw in the panel display screen the form he has to fill up.
