Chapter 1: The Awakening of the Young Man! Magician...
"Have you heard? There's a newborn with the Gluttonous Bloodline."
"You've got to be kidding me, I've never even heard of a Gluttony-type Bloodline before."
"It's true, it's said that Mr. Houston himself said it, the new student is really formidable, yesterday when Mr. Houston was teaching, he intentionally picked on him and gave him a few thousand chicken legs to eat, but the result was that the new student actually finished eating them all, which made Mr. Houston lose face, now even Mr. Houston doesn't dare to easily pick on him..."
……
Moss walked down the road to the Beast Training Hall with an unprecedented sense of depression, and every time he heard these discussions along the way, he always had a urge to vomit blood.
It only took one day for Ailing to finish a whole train of chicken legs, which made Houston lose his composure. The absurd thing had already spread throughout the entire Saint Dawn Academy, but it became more and more exaggerated as it was passed on, from the initial few hundred chicken legs to several thousand now.
The Gluttonous Beast is just a low-level monster in the Southern Forest with an unusually large appetite, and it's fundamentally impossible for it to possess Bloodline Inheritance or Bloodline Power. However, because Huston was driven half-mad by Ailin in the end and shouted out "Are you a Gluttonous Beast?", many people in the Academy are now spreading rumors that Ailin possesses the Gluttonous Beast bloodline.
If it goes on like this, I don't know what kind of shape it will end up in.
What's most crucial is that he has absolutely no relation to Ailin, nor does he have any connection with Berro, who always seems so enthusiastic. However, Houston somehow thinks that he and Ailin are in cahoots with Berro, and that they intentionally try to make him look like a fool during class. He can't even begin to comprehend the logic inside Houston's head, but one thing is for sure: a man as sinister as Houston, who has earned the nickname "Little Notebook Teacher", will exact even more twisted revenge on them in class if he hears about how they humiliated him outside of class.
Originally, there were no classes today, and he went to the Beast Training Hall because he heard that there was a "War Beast Assessment" for third-year students. Like most colleges, Saint Lumina College also captures and raises some ferocious monsters and beasts. Starting from the third year, some combat technique department students will receive training with these monsters and beasts.
This training is necessary because any kingdom's wilderness, wasteland, especially some remote areas, have a large number of monsters and beasts, and the mages who perform tasks in these areas may encounter battles with these monsters and beasts at any time.
Inside the academy, fighting against these monsters and beasts can also cultivate students' courage in battle. Of course, "War Beast Assessment" is also an important examination that students of the Battle Technique Department must pass; if they fail to pass such an assessment and perform too poorly, those students will be eliminated to other departments, and it's likely that they will never become legendary heroes in the future.
Lower-grade students are allowed to watch the "War Beast Assessment", in fact, at Sheng Li Ming College, many high-grade assessments allow lower-grade students to observe, which can also accumulate some experience in advance. Some of the assessments, because they are usually invisible, especially the "War Beast Assessment" such a big exam, for most lower-grade students who have never seen monsters and beasts before, it is very novel and exciting, so over time, it has become like a holiday at Sheng Li Ming College. Students at Sheng Li Ming College even call the "War Beast Assessment" the "Monster Festival".
It is said that the students of the third-year combat technique department of Saint Luminous Academy were tested by a monster called "Shimos", which was newly discovered in the border area between Aichi Kingdom and Lin Dong Kingdom. Not to mention the freshmen of Saint Luminous Academy, even in the entire city of Saint Lauren, there may not be many magicians who have seen what this monster looks like.
Moss's dream was to become a formidable combat mage who could go anywhere, a renowned hero across the continent. He usually had an interest in various monsters, but hearing the discussions on this road made his mood more and more depressed, and he almost lost interest in watching the "War Beast Assessment".
"Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to 'Tiehe Shed Area'?"
Just as Morse was hanging his head in despair, thinking about his miserable fate from now on, a voice suddenly entered his ears.
"Really?"
Mo Ke subconsciously lifted his head and found that five people were walking towards him from right in front of him.
These five people were not wearing the azure uniforms of Saint Lumin Academy, and they all looked like they were sizing each other up as they walked. The one who spoke to Mos was a boy with golden hair tied back in a ponytail, looking about the same height and age as Mos, extremely handsome, with an enchanting smile on his face.
But just as he exchanged glances with the handsome blond boy, a strong and inexplicable sense of pressure and fear suddenly filled Morse's body.
Moss's body suddenly stiffened, and his back heart involuntarily broke out in layers of cold sweat, even breathing became difficult.
It felt as if standing in front of him wasn't a boy of the same height, but a monster that could easily tear him apart!
"How can I have such a feeling?"
"What's going on here!"
For a moment, Moss only felt that his hands and feet were getting cold, if he hadn't controlled himself with all his might, his body would have probably started shaking uncontrollably.
"Excuse me, do you know how to get to 'Tiehe Shedu'?"
Seeing Moss didn't respond for a moment, the blond boy asked again.
"Just keep walking in that direction and you'll get there." Moss struggled to raise his hand and pointed, saying.
"Then thank you." The blond boy smiled at Moss, then didn't say anything else and walked past Moss with the other four people in the direction Moss had pointed.
It wasn't until the five people had walked a long way from Moss that he finally came back to normal, panting heavily and turning around with cold sweat, looking at the backs of the five in disbelief.
"What kind of university students are these?!"
"Who is that guy anyway?"
These five people were not wearing the uniform of St. Lumin's Academy, did not know where 'Iron Box Inn' was, and since St. Lumin's Academy's 'Iron Box Inn' was originally used for travelers and students from other schools to stay in, plus their age, Moss could almost be certain that these five people were definitely students from another academy.
Among the five people, the blonde boy who spoke up was under so much pressure that he couldn't even breathe, his heartbeat seemed to be stopping, and he didn't notice what the other four people looked like.
Such pressure... can only prove that this person's strength far exceeds his.
This person must have not only successfully refined the "Dao Yuan grain" to become a true Daoist, but also be an extremely formidable existence among Daoists, and may even have cultivated some powerful secret techniques.
Where did such a terrifying student suddenly come from?
Five people! The Starry Sky Brave Cup Academy Tournament!
"Could it be that these five people are the contestants from Nanji Feng Academy?!"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Morse's mind, and his body became even colder, shaking uncontrollably.
Tomorrow is the match between Seirin High School and Shoyo Academy, and only by defeating Shoyo can Seirin qualify for the official preliminaries. Shoyo Academy is just a second-rate school in the southern part of St. Lauren City that doesn't have much of a name, nor has it had any outstanding results before, otherwise they wouldn't need to play an additional match against Seirin.
Moss was also well aware that the upperclassmen at St. Luminous Academy, especially those who were qualified to enter the academy's competition team, were many times stronger than himself. Some of them already had enough strength to defeat the average teachers in the academy. But Moss had also seen Chris, who was nicknamed "The Goddess-like Girl".
Even when facing Chris, he didn't feel such terrifying pressure.
Looking at the five figures that were gradually disappearing from view, Mo's entire body felt cold as he thought that Saint Dawn Academy's team wouldn't stand a chance against such a team.
……
"The environment of Sheng Li Ming College is very good and it's bigger than our college."
The five people who made Moss shiver with fear walked slowly along a gravel path towards the "Iron Box District" in the back of Sheng Li Ming College. The blond boy took out a lip balm and applied it, looking rather unenthusiastic: "Not even one interesting or impressive person has been seen, it's really too boring."
"Xī Dīng Hán, don't underestimate Shèng Lí Míng College." One of the four people beside him, a tall and sturdy boy with exceptionally thick eyebrows and light red hair, said heavily: "The divine-like girl Chris and Koriein are still very strong."
"Strong? That's nothing for you ordinary people like Captain Hansson, but for a genius like me, it's just child's play, haha." The blond boy smoothed his hair and gave a charming smile as he said this.
"Can't you be more humble?"
The tall and robust boy with thick eyebrows, along with the other three people, seemed to be accustomed to the blonde boy's words and deeds. Upon hearing him say that, they just glared at him for a moment and muttered something under their breath.
"The beautiful girls in these colleges will definitely scream for me and fall in love with me thoroughly after seeing my performance."
But when they heard the blond boy's next mutter, these people still couldn't help but have a black line all over their faces, and they would have liked to throw this blond boy into the roadside ditch.
