Insufficient balance

  Returned home with a sense of accomplishment, Mom had already cooked dinner.

  "Back again, was today's class good?"

  "I'm being good, right? Mom, I've decided on my main and secondary magic for today."

  "Oh!! What's going on?! Hurry over here, our son has chosen his primary and secondary magic!"

  "Really? Son, son, you've chosen wind system magic?"

  Upon hearing this news, Dad rushed over quickly.

  "It's definitely not, our son must have chosen water magic, right, son?"

  Mom looked at me with hopeful eyes.

  My mom is an intermediate water-element mage and my dad is an intermediate wind-element mage, they started arguing about what kind of magic I should major in when I was just born.

  Looking at their hopeful eyes, wow, what to do? Forget about them too. My little brain turned around and thought, okay, I'll just answer them like this.

  "Not, not, none of them, the major magic I chose is neither wind nor water,"

  "What?" They looked at me with surprised eyes together.

  "So what did you choose? Was it the earth or fire system? You disobedient child, how could you not choose a system with your old mom? Your allowance for this month is gone, humph!"

  "Is your little butt itching?" Dad looked at me with a threatening gaze.

  "There's no need to be angry, Mom and Dad. I didn't choose fire or earth magic as my major. I chose light magic for a reason, it's all for your sake!"

  "What! For us?"

  "Of course, it's for you guys and also for our family harmony. If I chose water magic, Dad would definitely be unhappy, if I chose wind magic, Mom would definitely not forgive me. So I didn't choose those two. Fire magic is the opposite of Mom's magic, so I couldn't choose that either for my gentle, beautiful, kind mom. And for my handsome, elegant, powerful dad, I also couldn't choose earth magic which is the opposite of wind magic. So I chose light magic which doesn't conflict with anyone in our family. I'm thinking about the happiness and harmony of all members of our family!"

  I said while looking at my dad and mom with tears in my eyes.

  They exchanged a glance, and then Mom walked over and gently hugged me.

  "We're all grown up now and will think of Dad and Mom."

  Dad also walked over, embracing us in his arms. I love this harmonious atmosphere so much! Who would have thought that a nonsense article and two high hats could make them dizzy? Hehe.

  "Longbow, you must study hard from now on, at least become a high-level magician!"

  "Yes, Dad, I won't let you down."

  "Mom seemed to suddenly remember something. "Longbow, light system magic in the primary and intermediate stages doesn't seem to have any attack magic, now it seems like very few people are learning it."

  "It's alright, don't worry, I will definitely become a high-level magician"

  I'd rather be a ghost, I don't want to go through so much trouble, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen the light system either, hehe, let's get through this hurdle first.

  "Alright, let's eat and celebrate our choice of Longbow."

  A night without words.

  The next day, I was woken up early by the sun and my mom. After breakfast, Ode came to find me.

  "Chang Gong, go to school, today is the day for class division."

  "Here we go, let's go!"

  Just like yesterday, we stepped into the classroom on tiptoes again.

  The old witch has been around recently.

  "Alright, everyone has settled down. Now we will begin the class division. All of you students in this school have already chosen your primary and secondary magic subjects. The five classes will be rearranged according to the departments you've chosen. Generally speaking, there are three fire magic classes, two water magic classes, two wind magic classes, and one earth magic class. Now I'll announce which class each student is in. When I call out your name, please report to the corresponding department." Fire magic's attack power is unquestionable.

  Doubt, why isn't there a Light System class? A big question mark appeared in my mind.

  "Tan Di. Na Huo Xi 1 ban, Li Cha. Sen Huo Xi 1 ban...... Ao De. Lin Shui Xi 2 ban......, ......, ......"

  Translation:

  "Tang Dike. Fireworks Department 1st class, Richa. Forest Fire Department 1st class...... Aude. Linshui Department 2nd class......, ......, ....."

  Except for me, all of my classmates have gone to their own departments to report. After the last classmate left except for me.

  "Longbow, come with me. I'll take you to meet your teacher. Since you chose the Light System, which no one has chosen in over a decade, the school has arranged for a special instructor to provide you with individualized guidance."

  Oh no, it can't be! A special tutor, it has to be a teacher with a good temper, please don't let it be an old witch like that, or I'm done for (I've suffered enough at the hands of that old witch!). As I thought this, I walked out of the classroom with the teacher.

  Arriving at the 3rd floor of the college teachers' office building, oh, isn't this the principal's office?

  "Come on, Longbow, let's go in." The old witch pulled me as I hesitated.

  "Oh, okay, teacher"

  As soon as I entered the principal's office, I saw the kind-hearted principal sitting behind his desk, and he gave me a slight smile.

  "Teacher Lin, is this the longbow that your class chose to study optics? Let me introduce you. This is a great magician who majors in spatial magic and minors in optical magic, Xi Yu. Teacher Xiu."

  I followed the principal's hand and looked over, ah, so this is my future teacher? A 50-year-old old man, spotless from head to toe, spirited and wearing a purple magician robe, with four stars on the magician badge on his chest (the level of the magician can be seen from the badge, each time you upgrade a level, there will be an additional star, and magic apprentices have no stars). He had a stern face, looking quite fierce.

  "Hello Teacher Xiu, from now on I'm entrusting this child Long Gong to you."

  "Teacher Lin, don't be polite."

  "You are Longbow. Wei, from now on follow me and learn magic properly, I am very strict, hope you can study hard, I will try my best to pass on what I have learned to you."

  What can I say, I've already been stunned into stupidity. Why did I forget this? It seems that from now on, I'll be cannon fodder. How pitiful! Creator God, you're really unfair to me.

  "Thank you teacher, I will work hard."

  It seems that I will have more bitter days from now on.

  As I walked home, Ode asked me who my magic teacher was. To save face, I bragged that it was a very kind teacher. Ode envied me so much, saying their class teacher was very fierce. Fierce? Can't be fiercer than Xi Yu. This old man is something else! Now I can only hope that Xi Yu has a heart attack tonight and can't teach me anymore!

  Xiyu Shi, who was eating, let out a sneeze. "Who's cursing me?" Later historians' evaluation of Xiyu Shi is: If it weren't for the great magician Xiyu Shi laying a solid foundation for Guzhi in his childhood, perhaps there wouldn't be world peace.

  But how was this so-called solid foundation laid? After 30 years, the great magician Guangzhi couldn't help but shudder all over when mentioning Xi Yu.
