    Chapter 110

    Yan Yunqing didn’t chat with Quinn, his newly acquainted classmate, for too long before Lin Nuo called him away. Lin Nuo took Yan Yunqing to Buma City to purchase more daily necessities for the dormitory.

    In the afternoon, he appeared punctually in the A class’s practical magic spell classroom. This was an extremely spacious room; even with a certain distance between each person, it was still more than ample.

    As Yan Yunqing walked into the classroom, he immediately felt the atmosphere was much more relaxed than during the magic history exam that morning. The strength of those who could enter A class was generally quite good, and they weren’t intimidated by this kind of practical lesson at all.

    Yan Yunqing spotted Demetrius hiding in the corner, cultivating his mushrooms. He couldn’t help but walk over to him.

    Demetrius: ?

    Demetrius’s eyes showed confusion and bewilderment, seemingly unable to understand why Yan Yunqing would sit next to him when he had been chatting so happily with someone else that morning.

    Demetrius couldn’t help but glance at Quinn, who was not far away, enthusiastically chatting with others and hadn’t noticed that their class had gained another Yan Yunqing. Then he looked back at Yan Yunqing, as if asking why he wasn’t going to find Quinn.

    Yan Yunqing tilted his head, “What do you want to say?”

    Demetrius: “…Not going?”

    “I don’t understand, can you be more specific?”

    It was said that introverts were naturally extroverts’ playthings. Seeing Demetrius’s social anxiety, Yan Yunqing couldn’t resist teasing him.

    Demetrius: …

    Demetrius understood the smile in Yan Yunqing’s eyes. He continued to be withdrawn and stopped trying to push Yan Yunqing over to Quinn’s side.

    Yan Yunqing was amused, feeling that this roommate was really quite fun. He couldn’t help but ask, “What time did you leave this morning? It seems you were already gone when I woke up. What were you doing leaving so early? Are you secretly trying to work hard behind the scenes?”

    This world didn’t have the term “work hard behind the scenes,” so Demetrius didn’t understand what it meant. But from Yan Yunqing’s tone, it was obvious that this was a teasing term.

    Demetrius: …

    Demetrius gave Yan Yunqing a silent look, as if saying, “Why do you have to ask this question?”

    Yan Yunqing was even more amused, waiting leisurely for Demetrius’s reply, his eyes bright, not giving the other party a chance to avoid the question.

    Demetrius replied dryly, “…Yeah.”

    Yan Yunqing was stunned, then realized that Demetrius was answering his last question: “Are you secretly trying to work hard behind the scenes?”

    “Pfft… cough…” Yan Yunqing almost laughed out loud, hastily pretending to be choked and coughing a few times.

    His roommate was indeed quite fun.

    At this moment, a woman with long gray-blue hair burst in, “I’m not late, am I? Oh dear, I was just refining a magic potion and accidentally forgot the time. Luckily, luckily, I’m not too late.”

    She patted her chest, breathing heavily, completely unlike a self-proclaimed noble magician, more like a reckless swordsman.

    However, in Sigrit Academy, you could see all kinds of teachers.

    Because of Lucy’s good temper, some students joked with her, “Teacher Lucy, to make up for your almost being late today, why not add ten points to everyone’s overall score?”

    Lucy chuckled, “You’re thinking pretty sweetly, why don’t you come up and give a demonstration during the test later?”

    The student who made the joke immediately became a little cowardly, “Ah? Me? That’s not a good idea, right?”

    Lucy put her hands on her hips, “Why isn’t it a good idea? You want extra points, so if you demonstrate well, I’ll just add those ten points to your score, how about that?”

    “If I could demonstrate well, why would I need extra points!” the student wailed.

    The others burst into laughter.

    “Alright, no need to struggle, it’s decided, it’s you!” Lucy took out a magic wand from her magic robe and pointed it at the student, “If you refuse again, I’ll deduct ten points from you first!”

    Only then did the student reluctantly nod.

    Lucy snorted, “Kid, you’re still a little young to fight with me!”

    After saying that, she scanned the classroom and said, “Everyone should know that today is the magic spell test, right? Today we’re testing… hmm?”

    Lucy’s gaze landed on Yan Yunqing in the corner, and she couldn’t help but show a surprised expression. She pointed her wand lightly in Yan Yunqing’s direction, and a small ball of light fell in front of Yan Yunqing, “This student looks very unfamiliar, is he from another class?”

    Following Lucy’s words, everyone’s eyes turned to the corner. Demetrius subconsciously lowered his head, trying to hide his presence.

    Quinn’s eyes lit up again when he saw the beautiful woman, but because the teacher was still there, and they would be tested later, he might follow in the footsteps of the brother in front of him and become one of the test demonstrators, which would not be good.

    So he closed his mouth and just turned his head to wink at Yan Yunqing: “Hey, brother, we meet again.”

    It looked like he was about to start singing on the spot: Hey, friend, if it’s really you, say hello!

    Yan Yunqing looked at the halo in front of him and curiously reached out to touch it.

    “No, I’m a student in A class, just newly enrolled.”

    Lucy thought for a moment and suddenly realized, “Oh, so you’re the student that Teacher Walkerly and the others mentioned who was recommended for admission. Have you passed the assessment yet?”

    Yan Yunqing nodded. The people around him showed confused expressions, especially Quinn. He had always thought of Yan Yunqing as someone who was just attending the class unofficially, and now he was a bit shocked to learn that Yan Yunqing was really in A class.

    Lucy tapped her wand again, “It seems your strength is good. I heard that the assessment you took was quite difficult. Have you done an elemental affinity test before?”

    Yan Yunqing was confused. What was that?

    Seeing Yan Yunqing’s confusion, Lucy was a little surprised. She had just asked this question casually. After all, how could a student who could pass the recommended admission assessment and be assigned to the magic academy not have taken the elemental affinity test yet?

    After all, without having taken the elemental affinity test, how would you know which major category of magic to practice specifically? Would it be the more attack-oriented fire magic, or the more healing and supportive water magic, or the wood magic with the best control ability but not strong attack power?

    Without targeted learning of magic with higher affinity, could you really pass the very difficult recommended admission assessment?

    But looking at Yan Yunqing’s confused expression, Lucy wasn’t sure. Could it be that this student really hadn’t been tested and simply learned whatever he could?

    If that were the case, this student could be said to be a magic genius!

    Thinking of this, Lucy felt a bit of anticipation and waved to Yan Yunqing, “In that case, you don’t need to participate in the test today. After I arrange the test content for them, I’ll give you an elemental affinity test to see which kind of magic you’re more suited for.”

    As she said this, Lucy quickly turned around and wrote today’s test question on the blackboard: Use your most compatible magic element to condense a Kami beast and independently complete a set of actions (the choreography of the actions can be freely developed).

    After writing, Lucy tapped the blackboard, “Note that you can freely develop the choreography of this set of actions, but the basic preparation time is only twenty minutes. After twenty minutes, anyone who wants to be tested can come to me. Those who haven’t finished can continue.”

    “The test results will be comprehensively judged based on your preparation time, the completeness of the Kami beast, and the difficulty of the actions. The results of this test will be included in the final score. If you want to make your final score look better, please try your best!”

    After Lucy finished speaking, she asked the student who had joked earlier to come up and show the Kami beast he had condensed with magic.

    The student walked onto the stage dejectedly, trying to condense a Kami beast made of mud with earth elements.

    Kami beasts were a common little animal in Ermann. They were round and cute, with a pair of long, upturned ears and a fluffy tail, looking a bit like the Fennec fox from Blue Star, but their bodies were chubby, and they usually lived by eating wild fruits and shrubs.

    Because of their fast reproduction rate, they were similar to rabbits on the Ermann Continent and were a delicacy on the table of ordinary people.

    Such a cute little beast, but in the student’s hands, it was condensed into a strange-looking thing made of mud. The upturned ears were short and thick, the round and cute body became excessively exaggerated, and the limbs were three long and one short.

    The student manipulated the mud Kami beast to dance an awkward dance, which made Lucy frown.

    The other students below burst into laughter, amused by the strange thing made of mud.

    Yan Yunqing also pursed his lips and held back a smile.

    Mainly, this mud Kami beast was so magical that it looked a bit like the divine person who “spent three years learning animation and painstakingly made Titanic.”

    Lucy was speechless and said to the student, “Your aesthetics really surprise me. If you make such a strange thing in the test in twenty minutes, I might consider giving you a failing grade.”

    The student’s expression wrinkled into a ball: “Don’t do that, Teacher!”

    Lucy raised an eyebrow, “Then why don’t you hurry back and practice?”

    “Got it!”

    Watching the student go back to his seat, pulling his hair and fiddling with the mud Kami beast in his hand, Lucy couldn’t bear to look directly at him. She tapped the blackboard again, “You all be serious. If anyone condenses something in twenty minutes that’s the same as what was just now, you can wait to retake this course next year.”

    As soon as this harsh remark came out, the students, who had been laughing, suddenly became serious and began to carefully manipulate the magic elements in their hands.

    Seeing this, Lucy nodded in satisfaction and looked at Yan Yunqing, waving to him again, “Come here, new student—oh right, what’s your name?”

    “Xavier, Teacher.”

    “Okay, Teacher Xavier, come over quickly, I’ll give you an elemental affinity test.”

    Yan Yunqing almost tripped over Lucy’s words halfway, staggering a few steps. He looked up helplessly, “Teacher, my name is Xavier.”

    “Hahahaha” Lucy laughed heartily.

    Yan Yunqing had the feeling that he had become Teacher Lucy’s toy again.

    Was it true that if you treated people like toys, people would always treat you the same way?

    Demetrius was playing with the water mass in his hand. If anyone noticed the water mass in his hand at this moment, they would be surprised to find that the small mass had already condensed into the shape of a Kami beast, small, cute, and lifelike.

    He heard Lucy and Yan Yunqing’s conversation and looked up, the corners of his mouth imperceptibly rising.
