Liu Sen vanished from the teaching building, and a beautiful woman turned around the corner of the wall, her face showing complex emotions. He did not go to the backyard yesterday, because if he had, he would be like a dead pig now, only able to drool and unable to move half a step!
The snakes in the backyard are Idiot Snake. Although they are a type of magical beast, their magic crystals are of extremely low value, only useful for medicinal purposes, which is why not many people are interested in them. However, these snakes move swiftly, are highly aggressive, and live in groups. Whether one is a mage or a swordsman, encountering them spells trouble. A bite from these snakes causes the victim's entire body to stiffen, the face to deform, and saliva to drool, resembling an idiot, hence the name "Idiot Snake"!
Interestingly, these snakes are not fatal. A single bite turns one into an idiot for a day, two bites for two days, and a hundred bites require one to sleep for more than three months, but they are not deadly. Therefore, these snakes are also the most commonly used tool for pranks.
Gesu was bitterly wondering why he didn't go. Could it be that he knew about this tool in the backyard? Logically, a new student wouldn't know about it. Students of the magic academy have little knowledge of it since the snakes are nocturnal, and no one visits the desote backyard at night. Moreover, to prevent frequent pranks among students, the academy prohibits teachers from disclosing such information.
Unless his excuse of consulting on auxiliary magic st night was just a makeshift pretext. If he truly wanted to learn how to practice auxiliary magic and received her secret guidance, he definitely wouldn't miss trying it out. Not going meant that he avoided the Idiot Snake's attack, indicating his guiltiness and making up excuses. Why feel guilty? There's only one reason: he specifically went to peep on her bathing!
If he went to consult her and incidentally peeped at her bathing, the Idiot Snake could be used for retribution. But specifically going to watch her bathe and then fabricating a lie afterwards is far more serious. How should he be dealt with?
Gesu clenched her teeth, her thoughts unknown to others, but Liu Sen in the cssroom sneezed loudly.
The fragrance around him was rather irritating. Whenever Reynos was teaching, Liu Sen felt the aroma was particurly strong, naturally coming from that little vixen. After being forcefully dragged by Liu Sen into the room of magical elements and humiliated, the girl wouldn't even gnce at Liu Sen, occasionally casting hateful gnces, but Liu Sen didn't care.
"Today we'll discuss the two basic uses of primary wind magic!" Reynos said. "This is a retively simple topic. I believe everyone knows: Wind Bde and Wind Shield! Wind Bde is an offensive magic, and Wind Shield is a defensive magic. First, about Wind Bde, it's a bde-shaped condensation of magical elements that attacks the enemy with its unique explosiveness. The more magical elements, the greater the speed and penetration of the Wind Bde..."
Liu Sen was focused today because he was interested in the topic. Regardless of his feelings towards the instructor, the magical knowledge taught was still necessary for him.
However, after a long expnation by the instructor, it was still of no use to him. To enhance the practical value of Wind Bde, it was necessary to condense more magical elements, which again brought up the old issue of elemental affinity. As soon as the instructor mentioned elemental affinity, some students showed amused smiles, likely reminded of Liu Sen's impressive expnation in a previous css. The girl's face started to turn dark red.
Reynos was internally furious, repeatedly so. Magic csses are different from regur ones; not much is taught, and students are expected to understand on their own. Sometimes, it takes days for just one lesson, and elemental affinity undeniably occupies a significant portion of the curriculum. But with this kid's malicious action, he found the css challenging!
He was one of the academy's better instructors because he could make the dry and dull magic theory lively. But now, making the css interesting was difficult because he couldn't engage the students more than this vulgar and lowly kid.
This was an embarrassment he had never encountered in his teaching career.
Elemental affinity was briefly mentioned, and the topic shifted to Wind Shield. Basically, it involves the condensation of magical elements. The denser the condensation, the stronger the Wind Shield's resistance to attacks. To achieve denser magical elements, one must return to the issue of elemental affinity. Oh, what a dilemma; this css was impossible to continue!
Instructor Reynos intentionally reduced the content twice, sparking the students' interest. The cssroom began to exchange knowing looks and smiles, making the remaining time rather unbearable. Finally, when it was time to end the css, Reynos was the first to leave with his magic book, feeling a tremendous relief upon exiting.
Liu Sen was unaware that he had already earned the disdain of two instructors (the boy arrogantly believed that the buxom beauty liked him more, having taught him genuinely useful magic training methods), and these were his only two instructors (basic magic was retively simple, requiring only three types of csses: theory, practical, and introductory auxiliary magic, with advanced magic csses like Wind Feather Art, Rope of Wind, Wind Listening, Wind Seeing being handled by other instructors).
He was quite pleased with himself, having spent an hour under the supervision of an instructor he disliked without dampening his spirits, thanks to the excellent training he received st night. Going up to the third floor of the dormitory, a beauty emerged from her room, the one who helped him tidy up. Liu Sen didn't forget to compliment her, "Miss, you look exceptionally beautiful today!"
Sometimes, happiness means learning to be grateful, even capable of joking with an auntie!
"After bringing a woman into the room, remember to take a bath first!" the dy left sternly, carrying his bedsheet.
Was it a misunderstanding? Bringing a woman into the room? With the bedsheet dirty with mud and soil, did she think he preferred making love in the mud?
The dy passed another beauty, who also had a stern face: "Return my hairpin!"
Liu Sen called out, "Bosti, we're good friends, right? It's not worth frowning over these little things, right? You've already put on another one!" She had a new hairpin on her head, but he still kept the pair for a reason.
"What does it matter to you whether I have another one?" Bosti retorted. "Why did you take my things? Give them back!... If you can't, you'll see!"
Liu Sen, feeling helpless, went inside and came back out shortly after, with a pair of shiny silver hairpins in hand, offering them: "Stingy, here!"
Bosti didn't accept, but the stern expression on her face gradually disappeared. After a while, she stuttered, "You didn't give them... to another girl, did you?"
"Using your hairpins to gift another girl, am I that disgraceful?" Liu Sen excimed. "Besides, these hairpins are too ordinary!"
"Ordinary, yet you stole them?" Bosti challenged.
Liu Sen, tired of expining, asked, "Do you want them or not?"
"Keep them, I... have others!" Bosti ran off.
Liu Sen shook his head and went back inside. What was going on? Initially, she demanded them, but when offered, she refused!
No matter, he still needed them for tonight's training! Training with a girl's hairpins, if he could become a master, that would be quite interesting.
