Chapter 1: The Awakening of the Young Man! Thaumaturge...

  In the dimly lit rebound ball hall, Ailing stood with a determined look on her face, her eyes flashing with a faint green light.

  After seeing Kurisu, thinking of the look on her face when she was satisfied with just two pieces of chocolate, and remembering what she said "There's no special trick, it's just a matter of using all the time you have in practice until you can't stand up anymore", he felt his whole body fill with motivation.

  Until he can't get up no matter what, this sentence sounds simple, but Ailin knows how difficult it is to really do it.

  Apart from his own motivation, there was also a plate of roasted sausages in front of him, emitting waves of enticing aroma.

  For Ailin, who was so hungry that every tiny molecule in his body seemed to be tearing and devouring each other, any food was the most precious reward in the world.

  His current goal for himself is to last thirty minutes in this rebound ball hall, and to protect the pot of roasted sausage in front of him from being smashed by the black ball!

  "Come on! Heroes under the starry sky!"

  He looked at Bero with a faint green gaze after glancing at the fragrant roasted sausage in front of him.

  "Idiot!" Berro stepped down hard on the pedal.

  "Ah!"

  A black ball burst out and heavily fell towards Ailin's head.

  "Really?"

  Bailu's pupils suddenly constricted!

  He saw that the black ball was directly grasped in Ailin's hand!

  "Ah!"

  The second black ball was also caught directly in Ailin's other hand!

  "How's this! Haha, this is my latest idea!"

  Seeing Bailu's face as if he had been suddenly stepped on, Airing burst out laughing triumphantly.

  "Ah!"

  But elation breeds sorrow, just as he was proudly laughing at Beroha, his attention distracted for a moment, two black balls struck his left face like lightning. He let out a miserable cry, and his left face instantly swelled up.

  "Idiot is just an idiot." Berom muttered a curse, but in his heart, he had already been muttering to himself that this guy, although slow-witted, would always come up with some unexpected methods.

  "Don't think you can knock me down like this!"

  "This sausage is mine!"

  "Get out!"

  With wave after wave of painful cries, Ailin's hands and feet turned into whirlwinds again.

  "As expected, you're going wild again." Berolt couldn't help but sneer as soon as he saw Eren's uncontrolled blows.

  "Really?"

  But immediately, his pupils contracted again.

  Ailing's performance was surprisingly much stronger than yesterday in almost the same way.

  The vast majority of black balls were actually kicked out by Ailin's fists and feet, and very few really fell on Ailin's body, especially around that plate of sausages, not a single black ball was able to fly in.

  "Unbelievable... it's really possible!"

  "It's actually surpassed its usual limits!"

  This time, Ailin didn't notice Beru's stunned expression at all. In his eyes, there were only the approaching black shadows and that plate of sausages. Under the temptation of those waves of fragrance, every tiny molecule in his body seemed to go crazy, bursting out with strength he never had before. The potential that was suppressed within him was squeezed out!

  Ten minutes!

  Twenty minutes!

  Thirty minutes!

  Bailu thoroughly petrified!

  In the history of Sheng Li Ming College, the highest record for a freshman to bounce a ball in the gym was only thirty minutes without dropping it, and Ailing actually did it!

  To know that this non-stop continuous explosion is completely equivalent to a person's full-speed sprint, the later it gets, the harder it is to sustain.

  Although Ailin's face was now completely swollen, tears streaming down his face, pain twisting his features, and his whole body shaking uncontrollably, looking rather comical, he had succeeded, and the plate of sausages in front of him was intact!

  "Is it time? Have I reached my goal?"

  It wasn't until all the black balls stopped bouncing and several minutes had passed that Ailin uttered these words in a daze, her voice vague and unclear.

  "Can we eat now?"

  Ailin's face was covered with glistening water marks, all of which were sweat and tears born of pain.

  "Ah!"

  After seeing Beru nodding, he suddenly sat down on the ground, using his last strength to eat the roasted sausage.

  "My mouth has already turned into sausage, and I still have to eat sausage." Berro let out a heavy hum, turned around and walked out.

  When he saw the clear sky outside, the boy wearing glasses slightly narrowed his eyes, but somehow admired the guy inside.

  "This academy which has almost forgotten what courage is, finally has someone who's somewhat decent!" He muttered softly.

  ……

  Huston walked listlessly on the road with a lunch box in his hand.

  After suffering a fatal blow from the same person, he became unconfident and gradually became submissive. Since being frightened by Ailin at dinner that time, he even dared not think of ways to deal with Ailin anymore.

  "Teacher Houston!"

  Suddenly someone called his name.

  "Ah!"

  He almost reflexively jumped to one side: "What are you going to do again! Are you going to scare me with another ghost face?!"

  It wasn't until he had completely come back to his senses that he saw the one waving at him was not Ailin, but a fairly good-looking female intern teacher.

  He was suddenly filled with suicidal impulses again.

  The female intern teacher with a mysterious expression had a black line all over her face and wanted to strangle him to death on the spot.

  ……

  In the midst of a dense forest, Lin Luolan sat on a branch in a daze.

  He wiped this branch clean with a handkerchief, and also applied some insecticide to the side closer to the trunk of the tree, so that even ants would not climb onto this branch.

  Suddenly, his body moved and he jumped up, standing steadily on the branch, posing a vigilant posture as if ready to strike at any moment.

  At this moment, a strong gust of wind blew by, and in front of him, not far away, there was an amiable young teacher.

  "Teacher Kate."

  At a glance, Lin Luolan saw the attire and face of the person who came, and she relaxed instantly, but her complexion was still icy cold, with an untouchable appearance.

  "I know what happened between you and Difei that night." Kate nodded at him and said gently.

  Lin Luolan slightly lowered her head and asked in a crisp and cold tone: "Is there any punishment?"

  Kate was taken aback, forced a smile, and thought to herself that this guy was indeed as hard to get close to as he looked. He immediately shook his head and said, "Our Sheng Li Ming College is generally not strict about such things, I came to find you to ask you a question."

  Ling Luolan raised her head and looked at Kate, asking: "What's wrong?"

  Kate looked into his good-looking eyes and said seriously: "Are you willing to join our Sheng Li Ming College team to participate in the Starry Sky Warrior Cup?"

  Lin Luolan shook her head: "I am a newcomer."

  "There has never been a rule that freshmen can't participate." Kate explained patiently: "It's just because the strength of freshmen is not enough, so there are very few freshmen in each college team, but from your performance that day, as long as you agree, within three months, I will definitely make your strength surpass most members of the team."

  "Sorry, I'm not interested."

  Kate stared at Lin Luolan in shock, her voice suddenly stopping.

  This was completely beyond his expectation reaction.

  "If there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave first." Lin Luolan lowered her head and calmly said this sentence before turning around to leave.

  Kate looked at his back, even more shocked.

  "Isn't it frustrating? A renowned elite teacher personally comes to invite a freshman to join the college team, only to be rejected so bluntly." A voice came from not far behind Kate.

  Kate turned around, and just by the sound of her voice, he knew it was Jiaran who had come.

  "Logically, who wouldn't want to participate in this competition? Even I, thinking back to the matches I've participated in or watched before, still can't help but feel my blood burning with excitement." Kate took a deep breath and said slowly, "Even if someone thinks this competition is too dangerous, they would at least hesitate for a moment. I didn't expect him to refuse so resolutely and decisively."

  "Daring to defy Houston and get into a fight with senior students, he's not the kind of person who lacks courage." Galen looked in the direction where Lin Luolan had disappeared, "There must be a special reason."

  Kate nodded, "Ailin's progress has been terrifying these past few days, but I haven't seen Lister at all. What is this guy up to?"

  "He's gone on a mission." Galan twirled the ring on her left little finger and said, "According to what I've heard, that power has appeared again."

  "What!" Kate was taken aback instantly.

  Jialan fell silent for a moment, but then changed the subject again. "Since Lin Luolan is not willing to join the academy team, I suggest you focus your energy on Beiro recently."

  "Berro?" Kate shook her head with a bitter smile: "He's the real nutcase, like how he'd actually go out every night after getting hurt and spend months digging a hole just to disrupt the Warbeast assessment. Nobody knows what's going on in his head, or why he's been so obsessed with training Ailin lately. And besides, his strength isn't even enough."

  "You can't even understand, let alone your opponent." Galan looked at Kate and said: "And now the strength is not enough. If you can make him condense his yuan particles before the game, plus if he can achieve autonomous frenzy, imagine what the result would be?"

  Kate's expression turned serious, "Less than three months' time, autonomous berserk...this is too difficult."

  "So I suggest you put all your energy on him and give him special training." Galan said, looking at him.

  "What about Ailin? Do you think he can condense the Tao Yuan particles within three months?" Kate asked hesitantly.

  "It's almost impossible, the time is too short, it's too forced." Jialan shook her head: "However, for him, I also have a suggestion, you'd better not interfere with his practice, don't teach him some techniques prematurely."

  Kate looked puzzled and asked in surprise: "Why?"

  "I think that would be detrimental to his growth, so let him temporarily become the kind of person who relies on instinct rather than skill to fight. He has a strong ability to learn, and if I teach him too many skills, he will naturally become complacent and rely on those skills to defeat his opponents. Without skills, he will have to struggle more when facing any opponent or challenge. The more he struggles, the more difficult each battle becomes, the more benefits he will gain, and the greater his progress will be. I think he will far surpass us in the future." Galan said with some emotion, "I just saw him practicing at the training hall before coming here. In the rebound ball hall, he lasted for thirty minutes without using many skills."

  Kate was suddenly speechless.
