WTYTIAAN Chapter 132

Chapter 132

The magic academy and swordsman academy combined have over four hundred first-year students, plus teachers, making it nearly five hundred people.

That’s quite a large group.

However, the Norman Forest is large enough that even with nearly five hundred people entering, it’s like a drop of water merging into the ocean.

Squad A and three other squads were assigned to the same instructor, who was someone Yan Yunqing knew well—Teacher Walkerly.

“Good morning!” Teacher Walkerly was as energetic as ever, patting Yan Yunqing’s shoulder. “I heard you’ve been causing quite a stir at the school lately?”

Yan Yunqing was utterly confused: “What?”

This was a total injustice! He hadn’t done anything!

Teacher Walkerly laughed heartily, “I heard that Professor Theresa hasn’t left her room for a month because of you, and Reid has complained to me more than once.”

As he said this, Walkerly mimicked Reid, frowning and complaining: “My teacher seems to be crazy. She actually believes that something a student casually wrote is real—how is that possible? How could the great Eternal Lord possibly subdue Lady Sylph with tricks!”

“This world is definitely insane!”

Yan Yunqing: …

Yan Yunqing guiltily looked away.

Walkerly put his arm around Yan Yunqing’s shoulders: “Do you have anything to say about Reid’s accusations?”

“Ah… well, this…” Yan Yunqing coughed twice, “Um…”

Walkerly looked at Yan Yunqing stammering and unable to say anything, shook his head, and didn’t press him. He said with a chuckle, “Never mind, let’s not talk about this. The external training is about to begin. How are your preparations going? Although you joined the academy halfway through, the term-end grades are still calculated annually. Poor grades will affect your course selection next year!”

Yan Yunqing blinked, “I’m well-prepared.”

“Do you have a goal?”

“First place, I guess.”

Walkerly raised an eyebrow, “Big words, I’ll be waiting for your good news.”

After speaking, he leaned closer to Yan Yunqing and reminded him in a low voice, “Principal Penelope is also coming this time, remember to perform well.”

Yan Yunqing wasn’t surprised; he had already learned this information from Quinn in advance.

Back in the team, Robin came over, eagerly offering a cup of warm water: “Squad Leader, have some water!”

Ever since Yan Yunqing had transferred him some points, this kid had become like this, so attentive it was unbelievable, determined to cling to the thigh of this wealthy patron.

Yan Yunqing politely declined: “No need, I’m not thirsty right now.”

He sized up Robin’s luggage, which was empty, with nothing extra in his hands, “Did we bring everything we need?”

Robin had shown him the menu when preparing the supplies. Because Yan Yunqing had given him a large sum of points, the supply menu Robin prepared was very extravagant, making Yan Yunqing’s eyes widen. He carelessly transferred a few thousand more points to Robin.

Robin nodded, took out a few gemstone bracelets from his pocket, picked one and put it in Yan Yunqing’s hand, explaining, “These are spatial bracelets, newly researched by the Academy Alchemy Society. They reduce the consumption of rare materials, but the space isn’t large, only about three cubic meters. I used some connections to borrow five.”

“Borrow?” William frowned upon hearing this. “Do we have to borrow this kind of equipment? Just buy it outright. You can never have too much spatial equipment.”

Little Bird Robin rolled his eyes at William the little blockhead, “Do you think spatial equipment is easy to buy? This stuff isn’t mass-produced at the Academy Alchemy Society. It’s not even for sale yet. I could only borrow five because I have strong connections. No one else could get these five spatial bracelets.”

Little Prince William was stunned: “Is it that hard to get?”

Little Bird Robin said earnestly: “Of course, what did you think?”

Rowena slapped Little Bird Robin’s head down, “Alright, stop fooling William, or he might turn on you.”

William asked, full of questions: “What do you mean?”

Rowena sighed: “Robin did borrow these, but he paid a rental fee. Because this external training is in the Norman Forest, many people find it inconvenient to carry their things, so the Alchemy Society created this spatial bracelet.”

“It’s true that they can’t produce enough, but there are quite a few already made. The Alchemy Society hasn’t opened it for sale in order to save them for the external training of the second and third years. They only opened it for rental. Didn’t you see that many people aren’t carrying any luggage?”

William looked around and saw that many people indeed weren’t carrying any luggage, unlike them, who were carrying some things in their hands.

“You lied to me!” William glared at Robin.

Little Bird Robin spread his hands innocently, “I can’t really say I lied, right? I did use some connections to rent five spatial bracelets in advance, ensuring that each of us has one. There are still many people who haven’t rented them and have to share one with their teammates!”

William was sulky and wanted to say something, but Yan Yunqing interrupted him, “Alright, Teacher Walkerly is about to announce the external training precautions, stop arguing.”

With Yan Yunqing speaking, Robin stopped bickering with William and quickly distributed the bracelets, whispering, “I’ve put all the supplies in these spatial bracelets, one share per person. The rest is with the squad leader. If you’re missing anything, you can ask the squad leader for it.”

“The method of use is simple: mages use magic power, swordsmen use qi to touch the spatial bracelet.”

Yan Yunqing tried the method taught by Robin, using magic power to touch the spatial bracelet, and a line of prompts immediately popped up.

[You are using ‘Spatial Bracelet – Green’. Spatial equipment detected. Would you like to bind it?]

Yan Yunqing was surprised. Spatial equipment can be bound?

Yan Yunqing directly chose “yes”. The spatial bracelet in his hand didn’t change at all. Yan Yunqing shook the bracelet and suddenly found that his backpack had nine more slots, and all the items only took up one slot, displaying as [A pile of sundries].

…So this is the binding?

There are even props that can expand his backpack slots?

But what the hell is [A pile of sundries]? These are their upcoming supplies; they were directly and crudely classified as a pile of sundries by the system.

Yan Yunqing shook the bracelet in his hand, keenly noticing that the slight magical fluctuation on it had disappeared.

…Could it have been absorbed by his backpack?

Yan Yunqing went to his roommate’s side and poked his shoulder, “Let me see your bracelet.”

Dimitrius was puzzled but didn’t hesitate and handed over the bracelet.

Yan Yunqing took the bracelet, and this time there was no system prompt. Yan Yunqing tried to touch the bracelet with magic power again, and the system backpack didn’t react at all. Instead, a small space-like model was constructed in his mind.

It seems his backpack can only absorb the same spatial bracelet once; more is useless.

Yan Yunqing regretfully returned the bracelet to Dimitrius. He was originally thinking that if he could absorb a few more, he would rob the Alchemy Society when he got back. At most, he would just pay them a little more points, anyway, Yan Yunqing has as many points as he wants.

His backpack is currently in a state of being full after a week of not tidying up. If there are really items that can expand the space, Yan Yunqing would definitely find a few more.

It is said that all fear comes from insufficient firepower. Yan Yunqing also likes to hoard various weapons and props in his backpack, which is often full and needs to be cleaned before he can continue to put things in.

The people in Squad A were checking the things in the space, and incidentally stuffed the luggage they were carrying into the spatial bracelet. Yan Yunqing didn’t need these, as he had put all his belongings into his backpack from the beginning.

After the items were checked, Teacher Walkerly happened to start emphasizing the upcoming external training rules: “Next, we will conduct fifteen days of external practical training, and the destination is the Norman Forest.”

“The west side of the Norman Forest is adjacent to Dragon Valley and the Sea of Death. Even though a border line has been established in the middle, the two great empires and the academy’s seniors and teachers have people stationed there for a long time. However, because the border line is too long, many magical beasts still cross the defense and enter the Norman Forest, including high-level magical beasts. Once these magical beasts leave the forest, they will threaten the nearby residents.”

“The content of your external practical training this time is to kill these magical beasts. The final grade evaluation will be based on the number of magical beasts killed by your team and the strength of the magical beasts, and a comprehensive calculation will be made to determine the ranking.”

“Now I will issue an emergency call device, please carry it with you. Once you encounter a danger that you cannot solve, contact me in time through the call device. At that time, the academy will send a rescue team that can reach your side within ten minutes. During this period, the call device will generate an adult-sized shield, which will last for twenty minutes and can protect your life safety.”

Sigret Academy can be said to be the highest institution in the entire Ermann Continent. The students who can enter it are all the top elites and geniuses of the continent. The academy wants to train these students’ combat capabilities, but it will not just throw a group of children who are used to staying in the safe academy directly onto the battlefield, regardless of their life or death.

The fact that so many teachers are following indicates that the academy attaches great importance to the safety of the students.

Teacher Walkerly issued a palm-sized device to each person. The thing was not heavy and could be directly fixed on the clothes on the chest.

“Of course, if you don’t encounter any danger, don’t use the call casually. Once this call is activated, the results of your team will be invalid, and you will have to come again next year!”

Teacher Walkerly said with a smile: “This is just the last insurance the academy gives you, please use it with caution.”

Yan Yunqing put the call device into his backpack. To avoid accidental touch, it would be the same to take it out from the spatial backpack in case of danger.

During Walkerly’s speech, many team leaders had already set off in advance, which made William a little anxious. Although the external training time was very long, these ten minutes in advance would not affect anything at all, but watching others leave one by one, while he was still listening to the instructor’s nonsense, the urge in his heart kept surging.

It’s like during military training, other classes have been let go to eat, but only their class is still left on the playground to bask in the sun, enduring hunger while having to listen to the instructor’s nagging, which will make anyone anxious.

Yan Yunqing expressed that he could understand very well.

Walkerly gave some more regulations for the external training, and seeing William looking around from time to time, he couldn’t help but clap his hands, attracting everyone’s attention: “Alright, we should set off, some children can’t restrain themselves anymore.”

Yan Yunqing felt that he was especially like a teacher taking kindergarten children out for a spring outing.

Don’t say, the nature is quite similar.

William’s ears turned red, he puffed out his cheeks and lowered his head. Fortunately, his emotional intelligence was low, but he also knew not to conflict with the teacher at this time.

Teacher Walkerly led them to the teleportation hall. This time, the teleportation location was not Buma City, but another place.

Yan Yunqing only felt a dizzy spell, and when the scene in front of him became clear again, he found himself in a huge square, with countless giant magical beasts squatting or standing in the square.

Scanning around, Yan Yunqing saw many precious flying magical beasts, griffins, fire wing birds, wind eagles, winged horses, and so on.

It seems they were going to the Norman Forest on these flying magical beasts this time.

Yan Yunqing’s Squad A was assigned two griffins as transportation, and Teacher Walkerly also rode with them.

The griffin’s breeder glanced at Teacher Walkerly and patted the griffin next to him that kept rubbing its head against his neck, “Alright, old buddy, we should work, if you keep being spoiled today, you won’t have any good fruit to eat.”
