WTYTIAAN Chapter 122

Chapter 122

Hearing Reid’s words, the classroom erupted in an uproar.

All sorts of gazes fell on Yan Yunqing, filled with curiosity, inquiry, surprise… and other emotions.

At the same time, the completion rate of Yan Yunqing’s [Sigrett: A Stunning Debut (One)] mission was rapidly increasing. Before long, the remaining half of the astonishment value was also filled.

A Stunning Debut mission complete!

Yan Yunqing didn’t expect this mission to be completed in this way.

Meeting Reid’s strange gaze, Yan Yunqing smiled awkwardly.

That’s not right, is it? Did he write something on the exam paper? Why was he taken away by Teacher Theresa?

Wait… uh… um…

Ouch!

He seemed to have gotten a bit carried away in the latter part, accidentally writing in a bit too much detail.

A drop of sweat slowly trickled down Yan Yunqing’s forehead, and he suddenly understood how Demetrius had felt just now.

Fortunately, the surrounding gazes didn’t linger for long. Their homeroom teacher, Diuer, reappeared in the classroom.

Diuer swept his gaze around the students, confirming that the numbers were correct. He announced something expressionlessly: “The date for the outdoor training exercise for all first-year students this semester has been set. This time, the Magic Academy will go to the Norman Forest together with the Swordsman Academy. The time is set for one month from now.”

Outdoor training exercise?

Yan Yunqing was stunned. Wait, what forest did he say?!

Diuer continued, “The grades for this training exercise are very important. They will become a crucial assessment material for your promotion to the second year next year. I hope you will treat it with caution.”

“Afterwards, you will be divided into groups together with the students from the Swordsman Academy. Each group will consist of two mages and three swordsmen. If you have someone you want to partner with, you can submit a team application. The deadline is ten days from now. Please consider carefully who you team up with!”

“The group score is closely related to the individual score. You had better team up with people who are about the same strength as you. Of course, if you do not submit a team application, the academy will randomly assign you teammates after ten days.”

Diuer glanced at everyone, his gaze pausing slightly on Yan Yunqing, before quickly moving away. If Yan Yunqing weren’t so sensitive to gazes, he might not have even noticed Diuer’s subtle pause.

“I’ll emphasize one last time: choose your teammates carefully.”

[Sigrett: A Stunning Debut (Two)]

Description: Sigrett’s annual outdoor training exercise is about to begin. As a future legendary student of Sigrett, how can you shrink back from such a challenge?

『The reward mode for this mission is stage-based. The higher the final score, the richer the rewards.』

Again?

……

The grades were handed out, and Teacher Diuer had finished speaking. There were no more classes, and the students of Class A could leave.

However, everyone didn’t choose to leave immediately. The vast majority of Class A students were experiencing this outdoor training exercise for the first time, and they all excitedly gathered together to chat about the upcoming exercise in a month.

Yan Yunqing was wondering if there were any other forests called Norman Forest on the Ermann Continent… probably not? Maybe.

Norman Forest, wasn’t that the outskirts of the forest where the elven territory was located?

So, was he going to Lillian’s lair this time?

Yan Yunqing stroked his chin, denying this statement in his heart. Just going to the Norman Forest didn’t count as Lillian’s lair, after all, the Norman Forest was still some distance away from the elven territory.

After thinking about it, Yan Yunqing sent a message to Lillian.

[Good day (Private)]: Lillian?

Considering that Lillian might still be sleeping at this time, as elves in the growing stage were indeed more prone to sleepiness, Yan Yunqing didn’t send a lengthy message to avoid disturbing her, but just called her name.

After waiting for a few minutes, Yan Yunqing didn’t receive a reply from Lillian.

It seemed she really was sleeping. Yan Yunqing regretfully closed the chat system, when Quenn next to him called out, “Xavier, have you thought about who to team up with? If not, do you want to team up with me?”

Quenn’s Magic History grades were terrible, but his strength was indeed good. Perhaps because he had a father who taught “Advanced Magic Languages and Runes,” Quenn was the fourth to complete the assessment in the magic practice the day before yesterday, with excellent results.

He said he wanted to team up with Yan Yunqing simply because he wanted to carry Yan Yunqing, probably considering that Yan Yunqing was new and didn’t have any close friends who could form a group with him.

Hearing Quenn’s words, Terrence sensed something amiss, and keenly looked at Quenn, accusing him with his eyes: You don’t want to abandon your brother and team up with someone else, do you?

Quenn became a little unnatural under Terrence’s gaze, “Why are you looking at me? I’m just asking! Asking!”

Quenn thought Terrence still thought he liked Yan Yunqing, and couldn’t wait to prove his innocence: He really just thought this new classmate was particularly good-looking, and it was particularly comfortable to be with him! Absolutely nothing else!

Terrence: …Who wants to talk to you about this?

A sense of helplessness and vicissitudes was revealed in Terrence’s eyes. He glared at Quenn, thinking: We’ve been brothers for over a decade, and I’ve never seen you turn around and ask me if I want to team up with you!

Yan Yunqing took in the reactions of the two, and shook his head, “No need, you two team up. A group can only have two mages. If I’m with you, what about Terrence?”

Quenn looked at Terrence, “He has plenty of friends! How could it be my turn?”

Terrence: …Is the world turning upside down?

Terrence wiped his face, and finally admitted according to his brother’s words: “Yes, I have many friends, you don’t need to consider me specifically, I still have many people I can team up with.”

Quenn looked like: See, what did I say?

Terrence gritted his teeth.

Yan Yunqing still shook his head: “No need, I can team up with my roommate. He probably doesn’t have anyone to team up with either, the two of us can just form a group.”

“Huh? Your roommate?” Quenn was stunned, “Who is it?”

Terrence looked at Yan Yunqing, he was also very curious. Speaking of which, he really hadn’t seen this new guy walking close to anyone. He thought Yan Yunqing’s roommate wasn’t in Class A, after all, this new guy also had a dark gold badge, he should be living in a small villa like the top students of each grade… huh?

Top student?

Terrence subconsciously cast a glance towards the corner of the classroom. The person who had been sitting there in a low-key manner had long since disappeared. He must have taken advantage of the time when Teacher Diuer was finished speaking to leave directly.

Speaking of which, Demetrius was also a top student, but he was usually too low-key. Unlike the flamboyant or gentle personalities of the other top students, he had almost no presence.

If it weren’t for the fact that this gloomy guy always managed to get first place in every test and assessment, making a sufficient presence, it was estimated that the people in Class A would have completely forgotten about Demetrius not long after the start of school.

“It’s Demetrius.” Yan Yunqing confirmed Terrence’s guess.

Quenn opened his mouth in surprise, not knowing what to say.

Terrence was also surprised for a moment, then understood: “So it’s him, uh, Demetrius’s strength is indeed very good, he’s also the top student of the first year, your grades should be good if you become teammates with him.”

Quenn: ? Is this good brother here to sabotage him?

Terrence glanced at him: Don’t you dislike him? Why do you insist on teaming up with him?

However, Terrence still gave a fair assessment: “It will be a bit harder to team up with Demetrius, you should also be able to feel that Demetrius’s personality is a bit… um, strange?”

“In this regard, I think it would be easier for you to team up with Quenn.”

Brother, I can only help you this much.

Yan Yunqing blinked his eyes, avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial, “No, actually Demetrius is quite cute.”

Quenn: ?

Terrence: ?

Terrence: Well, it’s not that your brother won’t help you, it’s just that your brother really has no other way! Quenn, you’re not even as good as Demetrius, tsk tsk.

Yan Yunqing looked at the time, and said to the two of them, “Sorry, I have something to do this afternoon, I’ll leave first.”

Nodding, Yan Yunqing took his things and left, not giving Quenn a chance to continue speaking.

Terrence looked at Quenn sympathetically, “Did you hear any sound?”

Quenn came back to his senses, “What sound?”

He pricked up his ears and listened intently, bewildered, “Is there any sound? Why didn’t I hear anything?”

Terrence looked mysterious, “The sound of an ignorant heart breaking.”

Quenn: “Huh?”

Terrence patted Quenn’s dog head, “Forget it, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you, go play.”

Quenn: ???

*

Yan Yunqing detoured from the Magic Academy to the Swordsman Academy, preparing to continue to attend classes, but was intercepted by Teacher Barnett on the way.

Teacher Barnett, the teacher who caught him when he was half a class late for the swordsmanship combat class the day before yesterday.

“Teacher Barnett.” Yan Yunqing called out politely.

Barnett sized up the student robe on Yan Yunqing’s body. Sigrett Academy issued two sets of clothes to its students, one was a short robe, with a very sophisticated cut, which was more solemn and formal when worn.

The other was a short suit, which was more convenient for large-scale movements than the skirt pants of the student robe, and was suitable for swordsmen to carry their swords around to hack.

Therefore, the students of the Magic Academy generally wore student robes, while the swordsmen wore short suits.

Although there was no specific distinction in clothing, this seemed to have become the consensus of all students in Sigrett.

And Yan Yunqing had just come out of the Magic Academy, and the student robe on his body hadn’t been changed yet, making him out of place in the Swordsman Academy.

Compared to a swordsman, this kid seemed more like a mage?

This thought flashed through Barnett’s mind, and then he threw it behind him. How could a mage swing a greatsword as easily as wielding a magic wand?

Those delicate and weak mages, let alone being able to lift a heavy sword made of heavy iron wood, even a magic wand made of heavy iron wood could not be used for a long time due to the mage’s physique.

So this kid must not be a mage!

He was born to be a swordsman!

Barnett asked with a smile: “Did your teacher tell you about the outdoor training exercise? How is it, have you thought about who to team up with? Do you want me to recommend a few teammates to you?”

Yan Yunqing’s eyes lit up, “Tell me about it?”

He just happened to be short of three swordsman teammates, and was worried about whether to wait for automatic matching, or go and get to know some swordsman friends.

With the A Stunning Debut mission hanging in front of him, Yan Yunqing felt that random matching was not very reliable. What if he matched with three noobs?
