Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 121 Conversation in the Dean's Office

"Senior, I'm grateful for your kindness."

Li Yu calmly retracted his sword and looked at the equally dumbfounded teacher beside him.

"Teacher, you can announce the results now."

"okay."

Teacher Li came back to his senses and nodded quickly. Although there were not many spectators here, the process still had to be followed.

"The winner of this challenge is Li Yu!"

After Teacher Li announced the result, he secretly looked at Yu Feng, who seemed to be stunned, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

"Boy, you encountered a monster~"

In Teacher Li's opinion, there was nothing much to say about this match. It was a complete crushing victory in terms of speed. The entire battle ended within one second, which is estimated to have directly broken the record for the shortest duration of all previous challenge competitions in the school.

Just from the positions of both sides at the end, it can be roughly seen that this new speed has caused a considerable shock to Feng. Yu Feng's wind track may have been formed, or may not have been formed, but he was definitely aware of his crisis and prepared to avoid it.

but……

His speed and physical reaction could not keep up, and due to the brief panic, he even forgot to summon his own magic tools. Otherwise, he would not have been killed in one blow.

But Teacher Li believes that no matter whether it is Yu Feng or anyone else in the top ten of the Wind Ranking, the result will be the same even if the current number one on the Wind Ranking is brought over.

This new student who suddenly appeared had freak-level speed. The invincible psychic system in single combat might be able to rely on its own advantages to compete with the opponent in the speed of drawing star tracks, and then persist a little longer.

As for other magic systems, they can only pray that their foundation is strong enough. With more magic tools, they can hold out for a few more moves. With fewer magic tools, they will naturally be killed in a few moves.

Teacher Li began to wonder whether he should ask to be transferred to the Qing campus to see if he could find some good talents in advance and take them in as apprentices.

But no matter what, from now on, the main campus of Mingzhu Academy will most likely change. Let alone a mere Fengbang, even if it is the top three in the overall ranking of Mingzhu Academy, it is not a big deal as long as the freshman wants to.

The top spot in the overall ranking of Mingzhu Academy, which is known to be filled with experts, was actually won by a freshman. Tsk tsk tsk tsk...

It’s a pleasure to think about it.

Here, Li Yu was about to leave the ring when Yu Feng suddenly called him from behind.
"Wait a moment!"

Li Yu paused and turned around.
"What's wrong, senior?"

Yu Feng licked his dry lips.

"Your strength is enough to challenge the first place, not to mention the top ten. Why do you want to challenge me, who is not even the eighth place?"

"This..."

Li Yu's attitude when answering seemed extremely sincere.

"The senior sister said that among all the seniors in the top ten of the Wind Ranking, Senior Yu Feng's style of doing things is the most upright. You won't have to get back at me later, which is less of a worry."

Li Yu was afraid that some of the top ten contestants would refuse to admit that they were inferior to him because they lost to him, and would instead believe that his method was enough to kill on first sight. Then, the unwilling opponents would challenge him again and again. Li Yu tried his best to avoid this kind of annoying thing.

"what?"

Yu Feng's mouth twitched. What could he say?
This weird junior challenged me and I am honest and will not cause trouble for him afterwards?
So good guys should be pointed at with guns?

"I'm really looking forward to the day when you get first place in the Wind Ranking and the overall ranking of the whole school."

Li Yu said something right. Yu Feng is indeed an upright person. At least he will admit defeat when he loses. When there is an obvious gap in strength between the two sides, Yu Feng will never get entangled.

On the contrary, Yu Feng was looking forward to the scene where Li Yu would trample the number one on the Wind Ranking or even the overall ranking under his feet. At least then, it would not be too embarrassing for him, who was ranked eighth, to tell others about his loss.

However, Li Yu was not very interested in this proposal. The reason why he was vying for the top ten position was simply for the seven days of Three-Step Tower training time every month for the top ten. Since the first and tenth were treated the same, there was no need for him to create trouble.

Of course, Li Yu did not realize that, after an unknown number of days, the eighth place on the Feng Academy list of the major departments in the main campus of Mingzhu Academy was overthrown by a freshman. The shock caused by this news was enough to cause a major earthquake in the entire Mingzhu Academy.

Afterwards, the students who were paying attention to the various rankings discovered that the eighth place on the Wind Ranking was no longer Yu Feng, but was replaced by the unfamiliar name Li Yu. When the name of Yu Feng, who was originally ranked eighth, appeared below the Wind Ranking, the entire Mingzhu was in an uproar.

People who knew Yu Feng asked about the details of that battle, but Yu Feng just shook his head silently and said nothing. After all, how much practical experience could he, a guy who was killed in one move, have?

But it was Yu Feng's silent attitude that aroused the curiosity of all the students in the school. Those with powerful backgrounds had already begun to inquire about who Li Yu was and whether he belonged to any powerful force. They were ready to send people to pay a high price to recruit him.

……

On this day, Li Yu received an email from the school's official channel, informing him to go to the dean's office.

As soon as he entered the door, six or seven old men and women with an average age of over 60, white hair and beards, and bright spirits all stared at him with shining eyes, as if they saw the most precious treasure in the world. This is not a rare treasure, but a student who can make it into the top ten of the list when he just entered the main campus. It has been many years since such a genius appeared in the history of Mingzhu Academy. The old professors must take a good look at him.

Li Yu shuddered when he was suddenly stared at by such eyes.
"President Xiao, what are you doing..."

Dean Xiao said with a smile:
"nothing."

"I heard that you passed the challenge and successfully entered the top ten of the main campus rankings?"

Li Yu nodded.
"Yes, is this what the dean is looking for me for?"

Dean Xiao shook his head and denied it.
"No, no, no, of course not. This is just a passing mention."

"The reason why we asked you to come here is that there is a three-month exchange meeting between our Pearl Academy and the Imperial Capital Academy. We need to select some freshmen from the main campus to participate. I would like to ask if you are willing?"

"Exchange event? When?"

"At the beginning of the year."

"At the beginning of the year?"

The beginning of the year is only ten days away.

Li Yu said regretfully:
"I'm afraid that won't work. I need to solve some problems with my cultivation at the beginning of the year and must return to my hometown. I don't think I'll have time."

"Problems with cultivation?"

Hearing this, the teachers present all changed their expressions, and Dean Xiao also hurriedly asked:

"What's the problem? Tell us and we'll try to solve it for you."

Li Yu is now a treasure in the eyes of many teachers. If something unexpected happens to him, it will be difficult to deal with it more than a year later.

"It's not a big problem. I just need to go back and help a friend of mine complete some experimental tests. It may take a long time."

"Experimental test? Is it dangerous?"

Dean Xiao was a little worried.

"Of course not." Li Yu said firmly:

“I started assisting with labs when I was in high school, and there were no problems.”

"Okay then. Since you don't have time, we'll select someone else. Remember! Your own safety is the top priority."

"Thank you for your concern, Dean."

When Li Yu left the dean's office, Dean Xiao looked at the old men sitting in the office.
"What do you think, mentors? Does he meet your requirements?"

"That boy is quite capable, but is there something he is hiding?"

An old man asked hesitantly with a gleam in his eyes.

Dean Xiao did not deny it, but said:

"We at Mingzhu Academy shouldn't delve into students' personal secrets. We just need to make sure that the students don't violate the mage code. No matter what the students do, the academy shouldn't interfere."

"And how can you be sure that this student has not gone astray?"

The old man who spoke had a very stubborn temper and was obviously of a high status. Even Dean Xiao would confront him without hesitation, without any ambiguity.

"I think this student is a good person with pure intentions, but he is a bit paranoid."

While Dean Xiao was arguing with the old man, the only old lady in the room spoke up. When she spoke up, the old man snorted coldly, while Dean Xiao smiled slightly.
"It seems that Teacher Ling agrees with my idea?"

The old lady nodded slightly.
"As long as that kid is willing, I can use my connections."

This old lady Ling seemed to be the most prestigious elder among the people present. After she spoke, no one spoke, but only thought deeply. Dean Xiao did not interfere too much.
"This proposal today is just a small request from me. All the teachers are veterans of Mingzhu Academy. Some things can be decided by yourself and are not forced. I hope you can consider it carefully."

"Careful consideration? A request?" Old Lady Ling looked at Dean Xiao meaningfully.
"Dean, please invite us old guys over here..."

"You don't sound like a request."

Dean Xiao smiled but said nothing, and the old men quickly and slowly left the dean's office.
