Substitute Teacher Elf
"Family!" Fu Linyuan kicked open the classroom door, ignoring the door's accusations against him, and excitedly ran to the podium. He knocked on the podium with frightening force, "Listen to me, everyone, listen to me quickly. Jingyu has to go on a business trip for something important, so he won't be able to attend classes these few days~"
"And the substitute teacher is said to be even stronger than Jingyu, a master!"
"Where did you hear that?" Yan Ning was still a little unconvinced. Neither she, the class monitor, nor Xi Zhou, the class representative, had heard of this.
"How could a person like me, who is chosen from thousands of people, be so careful to fabricate something?" Fu Linyuan patted his chest proudly, "I ran into him on the road, and he told me so himself!"
Xu Suian introduced Fu Linyuan to the phrase "picking four out of a thousand", saying that it means extremely rare, and it also expressed it with just the right amount of modesty. It is an excellent word.
Fu Linyuan remembered it very clearly, and it came in handy at this moment.
Regardless of anything else, Fu Linyuan was still very reliable this time. Not long after he finished speaking to everyone, Yan Ning and Xi Zhou also received news from Jing Yu, saying that he had already left. They were told to go to the playground and wait for the substitute teacher to arrive.
The substitute teacher is an elf, tall and capable, but with a more lively temperament.
"Jingyu is not here today, so let's just relax and play some games," he suggested.
"Great!" the whole class cheered.
"?" Yan Ning felt that there seemed to be other meaning in the substitute teacher's words.
Before I could think, everything went dark and I found myself alone in the maze. Then the teacher's voice came from the sky. "Whoever comes out first will be dismissed first. Let's go!"
It seemed to be a space composed of black and white: the ground and sky were white, while the walls were black. Apart from that, nothing could be seen.
She took out a folding stool, sat down on the ground, and began to think seriously. After a long time, she chose to find a normal way out after considering "could I fly up there" and "could I dig a hole in the ground."
She had a hunch that if she didn't follow the beaten path, she might receive special attention.
He took out a pen from the space ring, made a simple mark on the wall, and then walked forward, touching the wall with his right hand.
She has never believed in her luck, and the right-hand rule is a method she is familiar with and relatively requires little luck.
Yan Ning just prayed that this was a single-channel maze with no loops.
After turning two corners along the wall, he ran head-on into the tall and strong beast inside.
This one looked like the black-backed flying tiger our history teachers had talked about. It was completely white, with only a black line on its back. Its wings were so large that they could almost cover the tiger's entire body.
This kind of tiger has no spiritual power and is not much different from an ordinary tiger in the galaxy.
Damn it!
How can a normal tiger fly?
Yan Ning was so frightened that he put up three layers of shields on himself in one breath. Only then did he muster up the courage to hide while silently reciting various spells, his gestures barely keeping up with his lip movements.
"Blizzard!"
"Ice!"
"Wild wind!"
“Ouch!”
The ice pierced the tiger's eye at an extremely tricky angle. It was in great pain, and after failing to pull it out with its claws, it immediately covered its eye with one paw and ran away on three legs.
Yan Ning, who was preparing the fourth spell, slowly put down his hand and found that things were not as terrible as he thought.
"I don't know if there is such a thing as a crystal core, but the teachers haven't mentioned it, so maybe there isn't one." Yan Ning muttered to himself, feeling relieved.
Yan Ning felt deeply regretful for missing out on an opportunity to make money.
He touched the copper coin on his neck and decided to ignore the tiger whose eye injury would heal soon, and continued walking forward.
"Yan Ning?"
Yan Ning saw a familiar figure in front of him, his long, slightly curly black hair blowing in the wind. He immediately recognized the person in front of him as Xi Zhou and hurriedly quickened his pace.
The two met, hit it off, and started walking together. Xi Zhou, who was not good at finding his way, instantly found his way and followed Yan Ning's pace.
They had a perfect rapport. Xi Zhou possessed sharp senses, boasting a 5.3 vision and excellent hearing. Yan Ning, on the other hand, possessed unstoppable firepower, his signature attack of violent storms leaving opponents helpless. Often, Xi Zhou would sense a premonition before even encountering a monster, and Yan Ning would immediately unleash his full power.
After dealing with three groups of monsters, the two were tired and sat down to rest.
Xi Zhou finally asked, "You have to use your ultimate even on small monsters. Don't you feel tired? Don't you run out of energy?"
Yan Ning recalled his past experiences of playing games late at night. "You don't understand. I have a fear of insufficient firepower. When I played games before, it was okay if I had CDs, but now as long as I'm stubborn, I can output like crazy. It really makes me feel at ease."
"If your spiritual power is really exhausted, you can just take over. I'm counting on you, a 95% friendly master~"
Xi Zhou couldn't refute it.
As a lazy person, ever since she came into contact with spiritual arts, she would never use a second move if the problem could be solved with one move, and would not run two kilometers if the problem could be solved by running a thousand meters.
It's like after a high school exam, no matter how much time you have left, you're too lazy to review it again.
He and Yan Ning, who are full of spiritual energy, are like two extremes.
Xi Zhou believed that if Yan Ning was the first among all people to upgrade his spiritual power level from Ling Yuan to Xing Yuan, it must be at least half due to her output.
Regarding this matter, Xi Zhou also couldn't understand why Yan Ning's physical fitness class was as bad as hers. It was obvious that he got much more training than her in the spiritual arts class.
Yan Ning sighed at the two people's vastly different ways of casting spells, "We have such different ideas, I don't know how we became friends."
"Not much different. At least we both like to let our imaginations run wild. We used to love arguing about all sorts of things. Before I met you, I didn't dare to say anything nonsense for fear of being called a nitpicker."
Yan Ning was amused. "Being argumentative is human nature. Xi Zhou, you should learn from Fu Linyuan, sweep away morality and liberate your personality."
She had almost rested, so she stood up, straightened the hem of her school uniform, and, imitating the etiquette her etiquette teacher had taught her, invited Xi Zhou to hold her hand. "Come on, let's keep going. Girls team up, and fighting monsters is never tiring!"
"I'm definitely not tired."
The substitute teacher found a recliner and was lying there comfortably, occasionally glancing at everyone's situation in the maze and listening to their interesting speeches. It was really pleasant.
He thought to himself, Jingyu really doesn't know how to enjoy life. Why bother working so hard on something that can be done by something else?
He held up his head and thought about the wording, considering how to comment on everyone's performance, and then closed his eyes.
Unlike Xi Zhou and Yan Ning's normal maze-walking pattern, Fu Linyuan was unlucky and frequently encountered opponents beyond his ability, which caused him to become increasingly embarrassed after a short while.
"When will Jingyu come back?" Fu Linyuan's eyes were dark, and he kept regretting that he was happy about the homeroom teacher's business trip. This seemingly considerate teacher who even suggested playing games seemed even more terrifying.
"Teacher, I miss you so much." Fu Linyuan shouted to the sky.
"Why are you thinking about him? Are you dissatisfied with me in some way?" The substitute teacher appeared behind Fu Linyuan with a "whoosh", put a hand on his shoulder, and spoke in a gloomy tone.
"No, no." Fu Linyuan smiled awkwardly, "But, teacher, isn't the level of your maze a little too difficult?"
The substitute teacher nodded, half-smiled, "Who told you to say bad things about your homeroom teacher and me? I'm unhappy, so naturally you have to be sad."
Fu Linyuan now discovered that the substitute teacher was as elusive as the head teacher, and had a worse temper than him.
How can you target him like this?
Fu Linyuan, who only remembered the food and not the beating, started a fight on the spot, and the result was even more brutal than the last time. He also successfully gained the new teacher's attention, and Jingyu must have been in dire straits before he returned.
I've already beaten him up, and now you're asking him what he's dissatisfied with?
Not satisfied with anything!
Fu Linyuan was dissatisfied in his heart, but he smiled with a servile look on his face, "No, no, I'm very satisfied."
Upon hearing this, the substitute teacher nodded in satisfaction, quietly made a note behind his name, and then disappeared into the maze in the blink of an eye.
Fu Linyuan looked at the maze in front of him, the end of which he had no idea. He felt regretful again and had to reflect on himself while looking for a way out. "I thought I was a very cautious person, but I didn't expect to make so many mistakes recently..."
“Hahahaha!”
"Who?" Fu Linyuan's body reacted faster than his brain. He immediately rushed over and realized that the laughter was very similar to Heshun. He looked and saw that it was indeed him. At this time, he was sitting in the corner eavesdropping like a thief, with half a bag of melon seeds and half a bag of melon seed shells in his hand.
Obviously, Heshun has been here for a long time.
He Shun saw that Fu Linyuan had discovered him and greeted him happily. Then he said in a sly tone, "I am a very cautious person."
Fu Linyuan was speechless.
He always felt that he was particularly unlucky recently, and good news never spread far, but bad news spread far and wide, causing everyone to mistakenly think that he was an unreliable kid.
However, when he thought of his bad luck in this maze, he did not yell back, but instead asked him to form a team.
Heshun didn't want to make things difficult for himself at all, and refused sternly, "You're unlucky, it's your own fault, don't try to implicate me, I, I heard everything, I will run faster than the wind!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the person in front of Fu Linyuan completely disappeared.
No, is it that serious?
Fu Linyuan had to think about his popularity again.
He Shun quickly fled the scene and soon met Xi Zhou and Yan Ning. They both looked very tired, especially Yan Ning.
"Hey~ Can you add me?"
The two girls exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. They were both nearly depleted of both their physical and spiritual energy, so having another free combatant would only benefit them. Heshun was also a reliable person.
The three of them worked together and walked out of the maze in a short while.
The substitute teacher on the recliner clapped their hands for them, muttering "congratulations".
"Are we first?" Heshun asked happily.
"No, the pink-haired, blue-haired, and the purple-haired man came out together."
The pink-haired one is Hua Shaoqing, the blue-haired one is Yu Huiyan, and the purple-haired boy is most likely Jing Hong.
Let's put the substitute teacher's nickname aside for now. Thinking about the fact that these three people were all magical, He Shun suddenly felt that not being number one was no big deal.
She turned around and high-fived Xi Zhou and Yan Ning to celebrate their victory.
"yeah!"
