Chapter 110 : Chapter 110
Chapter : 110
Yan Yunqing didn't chat with his newly acquainted classmate, Quinn, for too long before he was called away by Lin Nuo.
He took Yan Yunqing to Buma City to buy more daily necessities for the dormitory.
In the afternoon, he showed up on time in Class A's practical magic spells classroom. It was an extremely spacious room, with more than enough space even after leaving a certain distance between each person.
When Yan Yunqing walked into the classroom, he immediately felt that the atmosphere was much more relaxed than it had been during the Magic History exam in the morning.
Anyone who could get into Class A had considerable strength and was not at all afraid of this kind of practical class.
Yan Yunqing once again spotted Demetrius hiding in a corner, growing mushrooms. He couldn't help but walk over to his side.
Demetrius: ?
Demetrius's eyes showed confusion and bewilderment, as if he couldn't understand why Yan Yunqing would sit next to him, especially when he had been chatting happily with someone else in the morning.
Demetrius couldn't help but glance at Quinn, who was chatting animatedly with others in the distance and hadn't noticed that Yan Yunqing had joined their class again.
Then he looked back at Yan Yunqing, as if asking why he didn't go find him instead.
Yan Yunqing tilted his head, "What are you trying to say?"
Demetrius: "...Not going?"
"I don't understand, can you be more specific?"
They say I-people are born to be E-people's toys.
Seeing the socially anxious Demetrius, Yan Yunqing couldn't resist going over to tease him.
Demetrius: ...
Demetrius understood the smile in Yan Yunqing's eyes.
He continued to withdraw into himself, no longer attempting to send Yan Yunqing over to Quinn's side.
Yan Yunqing was amused, feeling that this roommate was really quite fun. He couldn't help but ask:
"What time did you leave this morning? It seems you were already gone when I woke up. What were you doing out so early? Were you secretly grinding?"
The word "grinding" did not exist in this world, so Demetrius didn't understand what it meant, but from Yan Yunqing's tone, it was clearly a word used to tease him.
Demetrius: ...
Demetrius looked at Yan Yunqing faintly, his gaze seeming to say, "Why must you ask this question?"
Yan Yunqing was even more amused. He waited leisurely for Demetrius's answer, his gaze bright, giving the other no chance to evade the question.
Demetrius answered dryly: "...Mm."
Yan Yunqing was taken aback for a moment before realizing that Demetrius was responding to his last question, "Were you secretly grinding?"
"Pfft-cough..." Yan Yunqing almost burst out laughing, quickly pretending to choke and coughing a few times.
This roommate of his was indeed quite amusing.
Just then, a woman with long, gray-blue hair rushed in like a whirlwind, "I'm not late, am I?
Oh my, I was just concocting a magic potion and accidentally lost track of time. Thank goodness, thank goodness, I'm not late yet."
She patted her chest, taking a few heavy breaths, not at all like a self-proclaimed noble mage, but more like a reckless swordsman.
But at Sigret Academy, you could meet all sorts of teachers.
Because of Lucy's good temper, a student below joked with her:
"Teacher Lucy, to make up for almost being late today, how about adding ten points to everyone's total score today?"
Lucy also chuckled, "You wish. How about you come up and be the first to demonstrate for the test later?"
The joking student immediately became a bit timid, "Huh? Me? That's not a good idea, is it?"
Lucy put her hands on her hips: "What's not good about it? It just so happens you want extra points. How about this, as long as your demonstration is good, I'll directly add these ten points to your score, how about that?"
"If I could demonstrate it well, why would I even need extra points!" that student wailed.
The others burst into laughter.
"Alright, no more struggling. It's decided, it's you!" Lucy pulled a magic wand from her magic robe and pointed it at the student. "If you refuse again, I'll have to deduct ten points first, you know!"
Only then did the student nod reluctantly.
Lucy hummed: "Kid, you're still too young to fight with me!"
After saying that, she scanned the classroom and said, "Everyone should know that today is the magic spell test, right? The magic spell we're testing today is... huh?"
Lucy's gaze fell on Yan Yunqing in the corner, and she couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
She tapped her magic wand lightly in Yan Yunqing's direction, and a small ball of light landed in front of him. "This student looks very unfamiliar. Are you from another class?"
Everyone's gazes followed Lucy's words to the corner. Demetrius unconsciously lowered his head, trying hard to hide his presence.
When Quinn saw the great beauty again, his eyes instantly lit up. But since the teacher was still here and a test was about to begin, if he wasn't careful, he might follow in the footsteps of the brother before him and become one of the candidates for the test demonstration, which would not be good at all.
So he shut his mouth, merely turning his head to wink repeatedly at Yan Yunqing: "Hey, we meet again, bro."
It looked like he was about to start a segment of Ru A Pu on the spot: Hey, friend, if it's really you, please say hi!
Yan Yunqing looked at the halo of light that had landed in front of him and reached out to touch it with some curiosity.
"No, I'm a student of Class A, just newly enrolled."
Lucy thought for a moment and came to a sudden realization:
"Oh, so you're the student recommended for admission that Teacher Walkley and the others were talking about. Have you passed the assessment now?"
Yan Yunqing nodded. The surrounding people all showed confused expressions, especially Quinn.
He had always thought of Yan Yunqing as someone who came to sit in on the class, and now learning that Yan Yunqing was really in Class A, he couldn't help but show some shock.
Lucy tapped her staff again, "It seems your strength is quite good. I heard the assessment you got was quite difficult. Have you done an elemental affinity test before?"
Yan Yunqing was confused. What was that?
Seeing Yan Yunqing's confusion, Lucy was a little surprised. She had only asked this question casually.
After all, a student who could pass the recommended admission assessment and be placed in the magic academy couldn't possibly have not undergone an elemental affinity test.
After all, without undergoing an elemental affinity test, how would one know which major category of magic to practice?
Would it be the more offensive fire-based magic, the more healing and supportive water-based magic, or the wood-based magic with weak attack power but the best crowd control ability?
Could one really pass the difficult recommended admission assessment without targeted learning of the magic with higher affinity?
But looking at Yan Yunqing's confused expression, Lucy was genuinely unsure. Could it be that this student really hadn't been tested and simply learned whatever came his way?
In that case, this student could be called a magic genius!
Thinking of this, Lucy felt a flicker of anticipation. She beckoned to Yan Yunqing, "In that case, you don't have to participate in the test today.
After I assign the test content to them, I'll give you an elemental affinity test to see which kind of magic you're more suited for."
With that, Lucy quickly turned around and wrote today's test question on the blackboard:
Use your most attuned magic element to form a Kami Beast, and have it complete a set of movements on its own (the choreography of the movements can be freely created).
After writing, Lucy tapped the blackboard, "Pay attention, you can choreograph this set of movements as you wish, but the basic preparation time is only twenty minutes. After twenty minutes, anyone who wants to be assessed can come to me. Those who haven't finished can continue."
"The test score will be determined by a comprehensive assessment of your preparation time, the completeness of the Kami Beast, and the difficulty of the movements. The result of this test will be included in your final grade. If you want your final grade to look a little better, please do your best!"
After Lucy finished speaking, she asked the student who had been joking earlier to come up and demonstrate the Kami Beast he had formed with his magic power.
The student walked onto the stage dejectedly and tried his best to use the earth element to form a Kami Beast made of mud.
The Kami Beast was a very common small animal in Ailman. It had a round and cute appearance, a pair of long, outward-facing wide ears, and a fluffy tail.
It looked a bit like the fennec fox from Blue Star, but its body was round and chubby, and it usually fed on wild fruits and shrubs.
Because its reproduction rate was very fast, it was similar to rabbits on the Ailman Continent, both being a delicacy on the common person's dinner table.
Such a cute little beast, yet in that student's hands, it was formed into a grotesque shape out of mud.
Its outward-facing wide ears were short and thick, its round and cute body became exaggeratedly so, and its four limbs were three long and one short.
The student controlled the mud Kami Beast to perform a nondescript dance, making Lucy frown.
The other students below, however, roared with laughter, amused by the strange thing made of mud.
Yan Yunqing also pursed his lips to hold back a laugh.
Mainly because this mud Kami Beast was just too bizarrely charming, looking a bit like that god-like person who "studied animation for three years and painstakingly created the Tita〇nic."
Lucy was at a loss for words. She said to the student: "Your aesthetic sense truly surprises me. If you still produce such a strange thing in the test after twenty minutes, I might consider giving you a failing grade."
The student's face scrunched up into a ball: "Nooo, teacher!"
Lucy raised an eyebrow, "Then why aren't you hurrying back to practice?"
"I know!"
Watching the student sit back down, pulling his hair while fiddling with the mud Kami Beast in his hands, Lucy couldn't bear to look and averted her gaze.
She tapped the blackboard again, "All of you, be serious. If anyone's creation after twenty minutes is the same as that one just now, you can all wait to retake this course next year."
Once this harsh statement was made, the originally laughing and joking students immediately became serious and began to earnestly manipulate the magic elements in their hands.
Seeing this, Lucy nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Yan Yunqing and beckoned to him again, "Come, new student—oh right, what's your name?"
"Xavier, teacher."
"Alright, Teacher Xavier, come on over quickly, I'll give you an elemental affinity test."
Yan Yunqing, who was halfway there, was almost tripped by Lucy's words. He stumbled a few steps and looked up helplessly: "Teacher, my name is Xavier."
"Hahahahaha," Lucy laughed heartily.
Yan Yunqing had a feeling that he had once again become this Teacher Lucy's toy.
Could it be that if you treat people as toys, you will always be treated as one?
Demetrius was fiddling with the ball of water in his hands. If anyone were to notice the ball of water in his hands at this moment, they would be surprised to find that the small ball had already taken the shape of a Kami Beast, small, cute, and lifelike.
He heard the conversation between Lucy and Yan Yunqing and looked up for a moment, the corners of his mouth lifting imperceptibly.
