Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 124 Showdown
In the next few days, apart from cooperating with Shi Liang to complete the experiment at Shi's manor, Li Yu's only other job was to take Ding Yumian around Bo City.

"There are many restaurants with good food and affordable prices on the pedestrian street over there. I ate there from elementary school to high school. There is also a place selling handicrafts, but most of the so-called handicrafts are things that come off the assembly line. You can just listen to the merchants' propaganda. I don't need to tell you about the Yinmao Building. I believe you can see it at a glance. It is considered a landmark building in our Bo City. The merchants who can settle in it are either well-established in the local area, or they are branches of national chains in Bo City..."

Ding Yumian didn't say much throughout the whole process. Most of the time, she just listened quietly to Li Yu showing her the city where he had lived for nearly twenty years. She could feel the peace of mind and calmness that Li Yu felt when he set foot on the land of Bo City. Wandering in this city that seemed a little unfamiliar because of its prosperity, Li Yu, a local, felt like a fish in water.

"Can I visit your high school, junior?"

"High school? No problem."

Just a small request, no big deal.

After all, Li Yu was the number one graduate from Bo City a year ago, and this reputation has not been completely lost in Tianlan Magic High School. When Li Yu visited Tianlan Magic High School, Principal Zhu happened to meet Li Yu and Ding Yumian at the gate. After seeing Li Yu and Ding Yumian, two top students from Mingzhu Academy, he was overjoyed and enthusiastically wanted to take Li Yu, a graduate, to tell his younger classmates about his experience in a prestigious school and show off his own magical skills.

After an afternoon of hard work, Ding Yumian and Li Yu smiled at each other as they walked out of the high school gate again.
"I'm really sorry to bother you today, Senior."

Li Yu was pulled up to the podium, and his companion Ding Yumian was no exception, being enthusiastically watched by a group of fire students.

"No, no trouble. I feel fine."

Ding Yumian smiled and shook his head.

"Perhaps it would be a good choice for me to graduate from Mingzhu and become a magic teacher in a high school."

"High school teacher?"

Li Yu smiled.

"Senior, you must have been a high-level wizard when you graduated from the academy. Which magic high school would need a high-level wizard? It's a waste of talent. Besides, the annual salary of a high-level wizard starts at tens of millions. Which high school can afford you?"

"Then I will open my own school, be the principal, and be a teacher myself." The smile on Ding Yumian's face did not diminish at all, and instead he put forward his own vision.

"Okay then, Principal Ding, please keep a seat for me in the future. I also want to hear others call me "Teacher Li." Li Yu responded to Ding Yumian's idea without any concern.

"You can consider it."

"Thank you, Principal Ding, for taking me in."

Li Yu clasped his fists, bowed his head, and said. His serious and solemn actions seemed a little funny in this situation.

"Junior, are you willing to accompany me back to my old home later?" Ding Yumian suddenly said when the atmosphere between the two was joyful. At this moment, the other party's eyes were serious. Li Yu couldn't help but retract his smile and responded.
"my pleasure."

……

"Are you in such a hurry to leave this time?"

Today, Shi Liang went out accompanied by the old butler, which was extremely rare. He sent Li Yu and Ding Yumian all the way to the station.

"Two months is not a short time."

Li Yu smiled.
"After walking for so long, I guess there must be a bunch of guys on the main campus waiting to drag me down, and they're getting anxious."

"Okay, take this."

Then Shi Liang asked the old butler to hand over a box.
"You have already used the other two. Dilute one drop in water and take a bath after each self-strengthening. It will help your body recover and your meditation practice recover."

"The key is the small bottle of colorless and transparent liquid inside."

Shi Liang lowered his voice and told Li Yu carefully,
"This is a powerful anesthetic I extracted from the poison glands of a commander-level demon. As long as it is successfully swallowed by a commander-level demon or penetrates into the demon's wound, only 50 milliliters can knock down a small commander-level demon within ten minutes, and it will take half an hour for it to wake up. The amount in here is enough for you to use twice."

"Thank you very much."

Li Yu thanked him.

When it is not convenient to use thunder, it is still a bit difficult for Li Yu to deal with a leader alone.

"But you'd better use this kind of stuff less and don't let others know you have it."

Shi Liang reminded.

"why?"

Shi Liang sighed helplessly.
"I don't know whether you are smart or stupid. This potion can be used on monsters, so it can naturally be used on mages. The physique, size and resistance of mages are much worse than those of monsters."

"With the amount you have, as long as you use it well, you can easily defeat a group of 1,000 mages, each of whom is high-level. The most troublesome thing is that healing mages can't treat it at all."

Ultimately, healing mages can only heal human injuries, but anesthetics are not very harmful to the human body. As long as the dosage is controlled, healing magic will not be able to do anything about it. "Besides, I won't tell you anything else. The extraction and manufacturing process of this anesthetic is my unique secret recipe. If others know about it, it will only attract unnecessary covetousness."

"Okay, I understand. I will keep it separate and will not let this thing out of my sight."

Li Yu has made up his mind to put the potion into the portable space opened up by the space department. Anyway, the potion is not big. As long as he is alive, others will not be able to touch it. It will be more convenient if he dies. The things in the space will be directly drawn into the space turbulence. If you have the ability, you can fish them out yourself.

Two days later, Li Yu and Ding Yumian appeared in front of a high school in Magic City.

"Is this where you studied in high school, senior?"

Li Yu looked at the school's gate, which was much more imposing than Tianlan Magic High School, and sighed:

"As expected of the Magic City, even the Magic High School is so wealthy."

"Come with me, junior."

"Ah, aren't we going in?" Li Yu was stunned, then followed Ding Yumian who continued to move forward.

At the next stop, Ding Yumian came to a cemetery and walked straight to a tombstone. On it was a black-and-white photo of an old man. Ding Yumian placed a bunch of white chrysanthemums bought from a roadside flower shop in front of the tombstone.

Li Yu did not say anything, but quietly watched Ding Yumian placing the tribute on it, secretly guessing,

"Is this senior sister's relative?"

When Ding Yumian finished everything, he left the cemetery and continued to walk towards the next place. Unlike the time in Bo City, this time it was Li Yu who followed Ding Yumian, quietly watching Ding Yumian stop at one place after another, and then leave without saying a word. The two of them walked through the streets and alleys of this city, one in front and one behind, as quiet as if they were performing a pantomime.

Finally, as it got darker, Ding Yumian ended his seemingly aimless tour. Li Yu knew that today's main event was about to begin.

"Junior, do you know that I almost killed someone in school once?"

While walking on the road, Ding Yumian suddenly said something that made people feel cold all over. According to the normal operation of literary and film and television works, what followed was a one-on-one duel between the two people where only one could survive.

But neither Li Yu nor Ding Yumian were prepared to go through the process.

"Is it related to Senior Sister's physique?"

Ding Yumian did not answer, but asked in return,
"Are the hunter heroes of Bo City the same kind as people like me?"

"You never tell the truth, junior. You said you were just a kid hanging around in the city monster hunting team, but you turned out to be a hero who saved Bo City from countless casualties."

"Is that right? Our lightning wizard?"

Being completely exposed by Ding Yumian, Li Yu did not feel much guilt, but instead argued confidently.
"Senior sister's Psychic Department should not be intermediate level, right? She was able to snatch back some memories from the head of an intermediate level mage before the Black Church's ban was activated. Is it really something that an intermediate level mage can do?"

"Then... do we need to introduce ourselves to each other again?" Ding Yumian suggested.

On the busy street, Ding Yumian and Li Yu's spiritual power enveloped the surroundings, and Li Yu also used the power of space to create a simple sound insulation layer.

"How about I go first." At this point, Li Yu and Ding Yumian could no longer maintain the weird atmosphere created by pretending to be stupid to each other, and decided to speak frankly.

"I awakened lightning magic on my own when I was in the second year of junior high school, and I am currently at a high level of lightning magic."

"Where are you, senior?"

"I awakened psionic magic in high school, but I was born with a strong mental power and progressed quickly. Now I am a high-level psionic magician like you." Ding Yumian said, meeting Li Yu's gaze.

"Senior sister's training speed is very fast."

"Isn't it the same for my junior brother?"

The two looked at each other in silence. If we only looked at the speed of cultivation, two people who had practiced for almost the same amount of time had similar levels, so there was no need to guess what everyone was like.

Ding Yumian: "Let's talk."

Li Yu: "Want to talk?"

After the words fell, the two of them smiled knowingly again.
"Senior, do you want to have dinner? It's my treat."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
