Dalaran, which used to be bustling with activity, was now shrouded in an interesting and strange atmosphere.
"Hey! Did you hear? That Duke Marcus is going to have an open class in the Dalajan! "
"Open class? Which Duke Marcus? "
"Idiot! He's the deputy commander of the newly established Lordaeron Alliance, Sir Marcus! "
"Ahhh!"
"He's a super wizard who fought against demons and killed a large number of elite beastmen."
"Is he really that powerful?"
"It's a free open class anyway. It's a waste not to attend."
Any wizard who was a Sky Wizard or above was qualified to attend the open class in the Dalajan's high-level magic academy. Every day, there would be announcements of all kinds of open classes on the academy's bulletin board.
Because of the favoritism of a certain elf prince, and because Duque was sufficiently famous, Duque's open class was placed on the front page of the magic bulletin board all over the academy. Not only did it have a dazzling red border, but there were also many Hands of Magic, which symbolized Duque's signature skill, releasing fireballs to attack the image of a scarecrow.
Naturally, this attracted a lot of attention.
The Dalajan would decide the grade of the open class in a very simple way, and that was through student voting. Any apprentice or wizard could press their magic seal on the bulletin board to show their interest in the class. The day before the class started, they had to go to the Dalajan's curriculum system to confirm the class.
The academy would confirm the location of the class the night before according to the number of people participating in the open class.
The result of Duque's open class was, of course … popular!
It was very simple, Duque was famous enough.
He killed the Demon King Sargeras, the successor of Karazhan, the Duke of Stormwind, the deputy commander of the Alliance, the youngest peak Sky Wizard of the current generation, the victim of 200,000 beastmen, and the wizard who could best use magic to coax peerless beauties …
Any one of these could attract the attention of apprentices and wizards, not to mention all the glory and fame.
The result of the unprecedented popularity of registration was that the number of applicants far exceeded the capacity of any Dalajan lecture hall. The Kirin Tor Council (which was actually Kael 'thas) had no choice but to announce that official mages would be given priority to attend the class, and the remaining places would be given to apprentices. They would be ranked according to their results, and the best batch of apprentices would be given the right to attend the class.
Three days later, more than 12000 people attended Duque's lecture in the Dalajan's largest central lecture hall. The auditorium, which originally had a capacity of 10,000 people, had an additional 2,000 standing tickets.
The auditorium was packed with people.
As the central auditorium of the Dalajan people, its specifications were definitely off the charts. Even Duque was flabbergasted by the things that seemed scientific but were actually unscientific.
For example, a Sound Transmission Spell that could surround the entire auditorium would allow the voice on the podium to be clearly transmitted to every corner of the auditorium.
Another example would be a huge magical image: In the auditorium of 10,000 people, Duque was just a small person to the friends sitting at the top of the mountain. But behind the podium, there was a huge screen that was as tall as 20 meters, which could magnify Duque's figure to an imposing extent. Even the audience in the last row could clearly see the hair on Duque's face.
As for the central auditorium, it was usually only used in two situations:
The first was the annual opening and ending ceremony of the Dalajan. Large numbers of apprentices, their attendants, friends, and followers would fill the auditorium.
The other was when an important figure would give a lecture or a speech to the entire Dalajan. In the past ten years, only Antonidas had enjoyed such treatment.
Now, there was a situation that could be considered as the second one: Duke!
In terms of battle achievements, Duque was definitely qualified. However, Duque only had the magical undulations of a Sky Mage, which made many Morning Star Mages very unhappy.
When Duque arrived at the scene with Ilusia, someone immediately made a move.
As soon as Duque went on stage, the wooden floor under his feet seemed to be under unimaginable pressure and was creaking. It wasn't just the wooden floor. The stone wall, the curtain, the door, and the huge glass window not far from Duque were all trembling as if they would fall apart at any moment.
Ilusia's face instantly turned pale.
Prince Kael 'thas, who had arrived early in the first row in support of Duque, furrowed his long golden eyebrows.
Spiritual attack!
It was a common method for Mages to test the strength of their opponents.
For a moment, Kael 'thas wanted to stop it, but he immediately gave up.
Respect was not something that could be obtained by talking big. Duque enjoyed almost the same lofty treatment as Antonidas, so he naturally had to bear the corresponding pressure.
Even though Duque was also a Mage, and the Dalajan welcomed any Mage to study in this sacred land of magic, Duque was, after all, not one of the Dalajan.
After inheriting Karazhan and the inheritance of the Guardian Medivh, who had once stood against the Dalajan, it was inevitable that Duque would be viewed with hostility by the Dalajan Mages.
In a sense, as a member of the Kirin Tor Council, Kael 'thas should also help those guys.
In the end, Kael 'thas chose not to help either side.
In the eyes of the group of Morning Star Mages, a single Morning Star Mage was enough to make Duque, a Sky Mage, depressed and make a big joke of himself.
It would be best if Duque left, so that an outsider would not be able to strut around here.
No one would have thought that in the field of magic, Duque was actually an out-and-out weirdo.
In terms of the 'quality' of mana, Duque was indeed lacking. In other aspects, Duque completely surpassed most Morning Star Mages.
What was spiritual force?
The definition of ordinary spiritual force would not be discussed here. In the field of Mages, the strength of spiritual force reflected a Mage's maximum mana, mana recovery speed, the strength of magic, and the ability to use magic.
Logically speaking, Duque should not be too strong.
However, when Duque released his spiritual force, the expressions of all the Mages in the first ten rows changed.
In their field of vision, there was nothing but a smiling Duque.
However, in the perception of spiritual force, the hundreds of Mages seemed to see a gigantic creature suddenly pouncing out from Duque's body.
It was not the simple form of condensing spiritual force into an awl or a net, like most Mages.
The spiritual force creature formed from spiritual force had a pair of enormous wings that spanned a full fifteen meters. Every time the wings flapped, the turbulence of spiritual force was like a storm, sweeping across the entire auditorium in the tens of rows above.
The high temperature of the spiritual force easily caused the temperature in the air to rise. With just a flap of the wings, it dispersed the spiritual force of the Morning Star Mage who had provoked it.
Following that fellow's blood-curdling scream, he went limp in his chair and even lost control of his bladder. All the high-ranked Mages gasped at the same time.
"What kind of spiritual force is this?!"
