My next updated novel, "The Emperor's Records," is now available for reading! Come and experience the happiness of an 'Emperor' for every 'Non-chief'!
This novel...
What’s the difference between this and being in your senior year or fifth year of high school?
On the first day of school, the sun was shining and the sky was clear, just like the high spirits of the students.
A full quarter of an hour before class started, all ten students were already sitting neatly in the classroom. Their eyes were each piercing, especially those of the five pure humans, led by Xi Zhou.
Their most special experiences before were either being the first in a certain subject, or speaking on the stage as a role model student, or secretly scolding the strict head teacher in private.
Regarding this, Xi Zhou sighed, "This is truly a major change that hasn't happened in a century."
"A hundred years? This must be a major change that hasn't happened in five to five thousand years!" Heshun said excitedly, "I didn't expect to learn spiritual arts in the first class."
"Hasn't this continent already chosen us? The five of us are incredibly talented! Maybe after this class, we'll suddenly have a flash of inspiration and become masters who can reach the heavens and the earth."
"Then the great master must protect us." Xi Zhou responded with a smile.
"It's time for class, masters."
Everyone was so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice the teacher coming. Only when they heard the voice did they manage to calm down.
"My name is Jingyu, and I will be your homeroom teacher from now on. I hope we can all get along well in the future."
He bowed, his eyes immediately becoming serious, “Now, there are a few most important rules that everyone needs to keep in mind.
First, you cannot hurt others at will.
Second, the school was torn apart by a space node, and there was a forbidden area of spatial chaos that could not be entered at any time.
Third, if any special situation occurs, the teacher must be notified immediately."
Seeing that everyone didn't seem to take it too seriously, the head teacher raised his eyebrows slightly and happily tightened the rules, releasing some pressure at the same time.
"Violating the first rule will result in immediate expulsion. I'm sure neither of us nor our country wants this to happen, right?"
"As for the second and third points, it doesn't matter if you want to die."
The students were stunned by the pressure and were forced to spend several minutes pondering these words.
It took Xi Zhou a while to recover, and he suddenly realized that the teacher had repeated every sentence twice. He would finish a sentence in Galaxy Language and then repeat it in Chinese and the common language of their magical continent.
The teacher said that he did this because he was afraid that it would affect the progress of the course, and that he would not take care of them so much after they had adapted for three months.
Xi Zhou was so happy about this that he cried.
Amen, I have never felt Chinese so familiar as I do today.
However, it’s too early to be happy.
After the head teacher announced the three iron rules, he completed the book distribution process with a wave of his hand.
All kinds of textbooks suddenly appeared on everyone's desk, covering various subjects, a total of 24 books, stacked high like a pagoda specifically designed to suppress them.
Xi Zhou's Mask of Pain, this is different from the spiritual arts I imagined?
The Light Spiritual Arts course includes "An Outline of the Basics of Spiritual Arts", "A Complete Collection of Low-Level Spiritual Arts Spells and Seals", and "The Basics of Comprehensive Directions".
The good news is that I only studied these three books during my five years as an exchange student. The bad news is that the thickness of these three books is, well... about the same as the three years of high school math textbooks combined x 2.
Stop joking. What’s the difference between this and continuing in your senior year or senior year of high school?
Can we tell them that this is just a false nightmare and that college life should actually be easy, beautiful and enjoyable?
Xi Zhou hadn't considered that a normal university might not be easy either, but that didn't stop her from feeling heartbroken. Being a good student didn't mean you enjoyed studying, and certainly didn't mean you enjoyed endless slogging.
In other words, the math book made her feel a little more relaxed. After all, it was compulsory education, and she felt it was not worth mentioning just three months after the college entrance examination.
As for the five people from the Magic Continent, it is not certain what they will think.
Xi Zhou took a quick glance and saw that everyone seemed equally desperate.
In short, after quietly putting the book into the space ring given by the school for free, I have lost most of my interest and only rely on this fantasy of going to heaven and earth as the last bit of spiritual support.
Fortunately, the considerate teacher Jingyu noticed everyone's disappointment and was not in a hurry to give a lecture. Instead, he first tested the students on an indicator that plays a key role in learning spiritual arts: elemental affinity.
Simply put, you can use the type of spiritual arts that are closest to you. For magicians, it's probably similar to how fire magicians generally use fire magic.
Xi Zhou, who had gotten the results the fastest, was curious about her friends' elemental affinities. She grabbed Lu Lanting's sleeve, and seeing her friend, who hated physical contact, bristled with discomfort, she asked with a grin, "I have an affinity for light, 95%. It seems to suit me perfectly! How about you?"
Lu Lanting was alert to prevent Xi Zhou from attacking again. He leaned to the side silently before saying, "I have a lot, and they are almost the same, all between 70 and 75."
"What! My highest wind element is only 75%, and the rest are less than, less than half! How can this be?!" Heshun, a classmate who already felt that his numerical value was not that outstanding, instantly frowned when he heard the conversation between his two friends.
While his own mediocrity was certainly not good, his friend's prominence was even more worrying. He muttered softly, "Can elemental affinity be improved later in life... I can't be so much worse than you guys in this life, right?"
Jingyu looked at the excitement below with a smile for a long time before slowly beginning to explain.
"Don't worry, as long as your elemental affinity is over 0%, you can practice spiritual arts of that element. If it's over 50%, it means you have extremely high talent."
The ten of them are among the top five most talented people in their continent, so of course they are not bad in talent.
Upon hearing this, Yin Zi'an, the half-god-demon hybrid who discovered that every one of her indicators was at 50%, breathed a sigh of relief. Who could understand this? She, a brilliant graduate who had infiltrated the Royal Magic Academy and was about to enter the Mage Tower, was the envied object of the world. Suddenly, she heard the ridiculous elemental affinities of her friends, and she was practically terrified.
Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with balanced development.
If the wand was not in his hand at the moment, Yin Zian might have cast a spell to calm himself on the spot.
"Everyone, don't get too excited." Jing Yu took out the "Basic Outline of Spiritual Arts" and passed his gaze over everyone. The natural pressure he released immediately calmed everyone down. "Before we begin, we need to understand what spiritual power is, what elements are, how to generate spiritual power, and what it means to be qualified to study spiritual power."
“…Qualifications?” Yan Ning, who was most sensitive to knowledge, became puzzled.
What a joke! I've never heard of needing qualifications to study. Besides, they're all talented, so what's the point of talking about qualifications? It's impossible to personally select them, then spend a day sloppily, and then send them back on the grounds that they didn't qualify, right?
"Yes, you can only use it if you are qualified to use spiritual power. But don't worry, kids, it's very simple. Maybe it's like a small test?"
Jingyu touched his chin and took the initiative to comfort the students who were not frightened. Suddenly, he turned his gentle gaze to Yan Ning and said in a more friendly tone, "Since this little student asked the first question, why don't you become the class monitor from now on? As for my class representative... shall we give the class representative of our spiritual arts class to our Xi Zhou? 95% affinity is really rare."
Yan Ning:?
No, her curiosity was strong and she wanted to ask questions. What did that have to do with being a class monitor? Yan Ning always felt that whether it was class representative or class monitor, the finalization was too hasty.
Forget it, Yan Ning thought again, she had been the class monitor in high school anyway, and she was very familiar with the class monitor's affairs.
After all, it was only a class of ten people, ten top students at that. What could possibly go wrong? He thought the job of class monitor would be a piece of cake.
Yan Ning thought so confidently and accepted the important task of squad leader.
Then, the class got back on track. The head teacher led everyone to open the introduction of the first book and gave a brief explanation of the basics of elements on the holographic blackboard.
“Elements are the basis of all things and are always in a certain regular motion.
When the laws of operation are sufficiently constant and in harmony with the heaven and earth, the elements will give birth to consciousness. These conscious elements were once called "gods". In order to distinguish them from the existing gods, they were renamed "origins" after the Second Star War.
But on the contrary, if the elements operate in an extremely irregular pattern, it will lead to elemental disorder and even the destruction of the world."
Teacher Jingyu paused and gave an example, "There's a world called Lost River Continent. Because of the disorder of its rules and elements, it became a "strange story" continent, just one step away from destruction. It almost failed to save it."
Heshun poked his deskmate on the back and whispered, "Isn't that the periodic table? If all the hydrogen in the world exploded, the world might really be destroyed."
My deskmate was speechless. "You're quite good at making connections. Stop daydreaming. Maybe the teacher can hear you more clearly than I do when you speak."
He was right, the teacher heard it clearly, but did not expose it.
After Teacher Jingyu successfully finished teaching the first two pages of the textbook and helped the previously absent-minded students unleash their spiritual energy under his guidance, he said, "The time has come!" and they all instantly fell into unconsciousness, stumbling across the table and the floor.
But he was soon lifted up by an invisible force and lay down on the table properly.
Jingyu on the podium was not surprised. She looked at the ten students below with a smile. Her eyes, one golden and one brown, flickered slightly, with a hint of pity, but not much.
It’s time to watch the show.
His mouth opened and closed, uttering a cheerful sentence: "It's very simple, kids, don't worry~"
