Chapter 262 Efit's Commission
Shu Li returned to the magic academy with a heavy heart.
The necromancer and the monsters went to the Wobba Canyon, apparently having received the news of the Demon Lord's death.
Efit said he and his cub encountered them while passing through the Kingdom of Cecilia. The demon named Sarn possessed a powerful dark power, rivaling even that of the Demon Lord.
And that necromancer was at the level of a magic saint, and was more powerful than any he had ever encountered before. His strength was probably close to that of a magic god.
Shu Li couldn't help but worry about Efit and the dark elf cub.
Fortunately, the two guys were in a hurry to get on with their journey and did not make things difficult for them.
In addition, Efit told him that the reason the cubs were hunted by the Demon Lord was that they collected a blood-red grass three thousand meters below the ground in the canyon.
For this grass, the Demon Lord and the monsters chased the cub for two days and two nights.
This shows that this grass is very important to the Demon Lord.
The necromancer and the monster named Saan traveled all night, perhaps not only for the dead demon lord, but also for this grass.
Fortunately, before meeting them, Efit put the grass into his high-level storage ring, isolating the smell from leaking out.
After returning to Wanaku, he searched through all the herbal books but could not find any information about this herb.
After careful consideration, Efit chose to give the herbs to Shuli.
"Perhaps the Elf King knows its origin."
Shu Li accepted the box of herbs.
Efit's decision was a wise one.
If we were to ask who in this world knows the most about herbs, it would be the Elf King.
During the years that Shu Li studied dark magic with the Elf King, he often asked him questions about other knowledge.
The Elf King is a walking dictionary; no problem can stump him.
The herbs that monsters value are of great importance, and their origins and uses must be discovered as soon as possible.
The daytime in the courtyard is the night in the kingdom of elves. Shu Li didn't want to disturb people's sweet dreams, so he could only wait patiently until night.
Shu Li released his original power and changed from a tiny thing into a human size. He changed into a school uniform magic robe, cleaned himself up, and left the bedroom.
A new week has begun and classes start today.
He walked into the living room and looked towards the sofa as usual, and sure enough, he saw his roommate.
The morning sunlight shone through the window onto the blond boy, casting a soft light on him and creating a warm atmosphere.
He didn't seem to notice Shu Li and was concentrating on flipping through the book in his hand.
A strand of hair fell in front of his forehead, causing some trouble for him in reading. He casually tucked the strand of hair behind his ear with his slender fingers.
His ears have beautiful lines and clear contours, showing an exquisite beauty. If they were a little more pointed and long, they would be comparable to elf ears.
A look of confusion appeared in Shu Li's eyes.
Why does a human have such a unique appearance and aura?
Unlike any human he had encountered so far.
Although both are young noblemen, Hector is completely different from him.
Perhaps because Shu Li had been staring at him for too long, Ace noticed his gaze, closed the book, looked up at him, and smiled gently.
"Good morning, Sperian."
"…Good morning, Ace."
Shu Li glanced at the title on the cover of the book, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Ace is good at everything except his special hobby, which is to read some weird books.
For example, the book in his hand, "The Story I Must Tell My Elf Teacher", does not sound like a serious book just by looking at the name, but he read it with great interest.
The Elf King also loves reading, but his reading list is much more advanced.
Sometimes Shu Li would sneak a peek and feel dizzy at the obscure text.
Yesterday he had been wondering whether Ace was the Elf King. He tried many times but failed. After a good sleep, he decided to let nature take its course.
It is unfair to your friend to look at him with suspicion.
At least, all speculation is in vain until conclusive evidence is found.
Today's magic class was as difficult as ever.
As soon as Elio entered the classroom, he took out a stack of test papers and said to the class of magic apprentices with a smile, "Newbies, today we have a basic test. Let me see the results of last week's training."
"What? An exam? There was no notice last week!"
"Wow, I'm not prepared at all, I'm dead!"
“What is the scope of the exam?”
"What were the results of last week's training? Running and magic training?"
"Are the questions difficult? Is there any punishment for failing the test?"
"You can't escape punishment! Don't have any illusions about our magic mentor."
The human students were talking among themselves, while the goblins looked calm.
Hector couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you surprised?"
Shu Li replied calmly: "You'll get used to it."
Despite his gruesome personality, Ilio's teaching methods were second to none. He treated every student equally, pinpointing their weaknesses and shortcomings, and providing targeted training to significantly improve their abilities.
The process was a bit painful, but the results were remarkable.
As long as you can withstand his taunting mode, the gains will be immeasurable.
Angel patted Hector's arm and encouraged him. "Believe in yourself, you can do it! Don't be discouraged if you fail the exam, because the next one will only be harder."
Hector: ...
Instead of being comforted, I became even more worried.
"Quiet." Ilio clapped his hands, and in an instant, the classroom was silent. The magic apprentices were as quiet as chickens, waiting for his speech.
Elio raised an eyebrow and said amiably, "Don't worry, the questions I give are very simple. As long as you study hard, you can pass them."
A student bravely asked, "Teacher, what is the passing score?"
Ilio smiled. "The test has a total score of 100, and 90 is a passing score. It's not difficult."
As soon as he finished speaking, a wailing sound suddenly rang out in the classroom.
Ninety points is a pass! Isn't that hard enough? It's simply inhumane!
"Um...is there any punishment if I fail?" a girl sitting in the front row asked timidly.
Her voice was small, almost drowned out by the wailing, but Ilio, an elf with keen hearing, heard her question clearly.
"No punishment," he said.
"Really?" the girl was surprised.
Disio glanced at the girl.
It is better to believe in pie in the sky than to believe in what Ilio says.
As expected, Ilio's answer was: "Students who failed the test will all go to the back mountain of the academy to have a friendly exchange with Warcraft."
Without waiting for the student's response, he raised a finger and added, "Level 3 Magical Beast."
A group of students were feeling miserable, but they had nowhere to vent their grievances, and they couldn't even cry out.
Shu Li looked at the annoying smile on Ilio's face and felt great sympathy for her human classmates.
For the goblin, communicating with Warcraft is not really a punishment.
They understand animal language and can communicate normally with monsters.
As for Amanda, he is a dragon. When the monsters see him, they don’t even have time to escape, so how could they dare to communicate with him?
However, humans, especially those with average strength, belong to the bottom of the food chain. When they encounter monsters, not to mention communicating, it is even a question of whether they can survive.
When a magic apprentice faces a level three monster, it’s basically Game Over!
Of course, Ilio wouldn't actually send his students to die.
This punishment condition is probably proposed to train students' courage and ability to respond to danger.
If there is danger, he will definitely be the first to jump out to protect the students.
In short, no matter how bad their personality is, they are still kind spirits at heart.
Seeing the students' sad faces, Ilio was in a good mood. He recited a short wind spell and the test papers were automatically distributed to the students.
"Huh? Don't we have any test papers?" Budno looked around and found that there was nothing in front of the members of Team Light.
"We don't have to take the exam?" Hector's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
It’s such a surprise that there is such a good thing!
Siti and Nasha looked at each other, feeling that Ilio wouldn't be so kind.
Ace held a high-end feather pen in his hand, calmly watching his "disciple" come up with new tricks to torment Team Light.
Shu Li had a bad feeling in his heart.
Elio walked slowly to the front row, holding a stack of papers in his hand, and personally distributed them to the Light Team.
"Here are your papers, answer the questions carefully." He said specifically.
Shu Li got the test paper, looked down, and almost vomited blood.
[Please write down five recipes for making healing potions.]
[To kill a rank 7 fire monster, which magic attack takes the shortest time?]
Why do you think the Dark God started the war? Was it simply out of jealousy of the Light God?
Is this an exam paper for magic apprentices?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Shu Li turned to look at Hector's paper and found that the questions were completely different.
[How many magical attributes are there? Please write down the characteristics of each attribute in turn.]
So simple?
It is indeed a targeted test!
Shu Li stretched his neck and glanced at Kumandi's paper. Seeing the complex and difficult questions, he gasped.
Kumandi’s paper was even harder than his!
"This...this...how do I answer?" Amanda had a sad face and read the test paper from beginning to end, her eyes as bright as mosquito coils.
The dragon race has a strong physique and superior combat power, but they become poor students when it comes to academic subjects.
These questions were too difficult for him and he couldn't answer them at all.
He tugged at his hair and picked up the pen resignedly.
After the exam, he will eat ten sea fish and let the delicious food comfort his self-esteem.
Fortunately, his brother Tosperion brought him fresh seafood, so he could eat to his heart's content again.
The other goblins also looked troubled. Although they were not unable to answer the questions, it was quite tiring to use their brains.
When Ace got the paper, he quickly glanced through it and looked up at Ilio meaningfully.
Feeling guilty, Ilio returned to the podium and thoughtfully reminded everyone, "Everyone, answer the questions carefully and strive to pass."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but once he mentioned "passing", the students felt even more stressed and were all sweating profusely.
In order to avoid facing the monsters face to face, the human magic apprentice worked hard and only regretted that he did not study hard enough.
Shu Li frowned and answered cautiously.
Ilio is so idle. The test paper is full of traps. If you don’t read the questions carefully, you will probably fail.
Among the 45 students in the class, Ace was the most relaxed.
It would be like showing off one's skills in front of an expert for a disciple to ask questions. Knowing that his ability was limited, Ilio simply gave a simple test paper for a magic apprentice.
However, he added a little thought to the last question.
[When everyone's fate is determined and destined to end in destruction, what will you do?]
Ace finished writing the first part, looked at the last question, and put down his quill.
Ilio, who was always keeping an eye on him, tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingertips, his eyes dim and unclear.
Is the prophecy really unbreakable?
While he was pondering, he saw Ace pick up the feather pen again and write a line of domineering elf words on the blank space of the paper.
Find someone beyond your destiny and rewrite the ending.
