Versatile Mage: Unlimited Swordplay, Deconstructing Everything!

Chapter 189 First Spell: Is it a True Forbidden Curse? No way, it's not too late for Lin Ling to confess!
"Oh? Isn't this the world's national champion, the world's youngest super-level mage?"

"I've already banned the spell," Lin Ling said, scratching his temple.

Dean Xiao froze instantly, and the pen in his hand slipped and slammed onto the table with a loud bang.

He hurriedly got up and ran outside to see if anyone was passing by. Then he turned around and locked the door. He ran to the window, peeked out and cautiously looked around before closing the window and even pulling the curtains shut.

Only then did he return to his desk and ask in an uncertain tone.

"Is it really a forbidden spell?"

"It's true."

Dean Xiao, refusing to believe it, released his senses, and Lin Ling did not stop him, allowing Dean Xiao's senses to probe his cultivation level.

Upon experiencing the boundless darkness, Dean Xiao slumped into his chair as if he had lost his soul.

"Really, Xingyu? This can't be right. How long ago did you reach the Transcendent level? I could understand even Transcendent Level 3, but isn't using a Forbidden Spell a bit too exaggerated?"

Xiao Yuanjiu was stunned for a long time. Reality was even more unreal than a dream. A forbidden spell mage in his twenties!

None of the ancient emperors, or even the First Emperor in his youth, were as exaggerated as Lin Ling.

Could it be that he has really been tainted by some evil or forbidden magic?

"Lin Ling, you're still young. You should confess and be treated leniently." Dean Xiao looked like he understood perfectly, put his arm around Lin Ling's shoulder, and said meaningfully.

"Please make sure your imagination is accurate, it's just that I recently had a tiny bit of good fortune." Lin Ling squeezed Dean Xiao's hand away with a hint of disdain.

"Whose fortune could directly break through the forbidden spell?"

"Dean Xiao, let's talk about this first. What's the deal with this letter? I did win a championship, after all."

"That's what they say. Of course, there are policies in place to give preferential treatment to the graduates of the championship-winning students, regardless of whether you have completed the full course hours. But there's a problem. Mu Nujiao and Mo Fan at least attended classes, selected courses, and participated in the ranking competitions, leaving their mark on the academy. Mr. Lin, have you left your mark?"

"Um... does enrollment count?" Lin Ling asked awkwardly, her toes gripping the ground.

He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that, indeed, there shouldn't have been any other experiences.

"I wanted to help you get preferential treatment, but I couldn't! If we followed the rules, I could handle it if you left a record, but apart from your enrollment registration, the academic affairs office can't find you in the system. If I didn't know you were still enrolled, people would think you were a ghost attending school!" Dean Xiao said irritably.

"Wait! Dean Xiao! Didn't I also participate in the Beast Fighting Tournament? And I even went on stage myself!"

"That's because it's a hidden identity, so there's no record of it. It just so happens that it's graduation season right now, so you can be the team leader and leave a record while you're at it. That way, it'll be easier for me to handle things. If possible, bring Mo Fan and Mu Nujiao along too. You're both champions this year, so it'll be perfect to get the three of you to graduate early, saving me from having to worry about this and that every day."

"Alright." Knowing she was in the wrong, Lin Ling also knew that this was Dean Xiao's good intention, so she immediately agreed.

Dean Xiao is, after all, the dean of Mingzhu Academy, and belongs to the Dragon Kingdom system. He still has to act according to the rules, otherwise he might be targeted. Although it's not a big deal, it's best not to bother others.

Watching Lin Ling leave, Dean Xiao sat in his chair for a long time without saying a word.

"Let's keep it from the Forbidden Spells Association for now, but what about this one?"

Dean Xiao picked up an application for retention at the university, and the name written in the name column was Ding Yumin.

"Isn't it getting better? Being confined to an ivory tower will only make things worse."

The next day, Lin Ling, Mu Nujiao, and Mo Fan gathered in a classroom in the teaching building of Mingzhu Academy.

This time, their role is to lead the team and is responsible for solving the problem of the water circulation array that Dean Xiao set up in Tongxiang County. Since the core of the array is the water source in various places around Tongxiang County, some of the water sources are located outside the security zone.

Humans cannot live without water, and so can demons; most land-dwelling demons have not yet evolved to the point where they can escape the limitations of water.

Therefore, it's easy to encounter powerful demons in the Anjie Water Source area. Thus, the difficulty of this graduation mission perfectly meets the requirements for excellent graduation from Mingzhu Academy.

"Although, as the teachers leading the team, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to drink during the day?"

Mu Nujiao rubbed her temples, looking at Lin Ling and Mo Fan sitting on the podium, clinking glasses repeatedly, and a sense of powerlessness inexplicably rose in her heart.

She had a strange feeling that the biggest challenge of this mission, compared to solving the problem of the obstructed water circulation array, was how to keep the two of them from drinking too much alcohol during the mission.

Mu Nujiao wasn't worried that the two of them drinking would affect the mission, after all, Lin Ling was still a Hunter King.

Her worry was that the two students would drag the trainees who were coming later away to drink, and that would be the end of them.

The alcohol Lin Ling and the others are drinking is making her feel dizzy just from the smell, which shows how strong it is. If she were to actually be dragged over to drink with them, news like that would spread throughout Shanghai tomorrow.

"A university professor forced a student to drink alcohol, causing the student to fall into a deep coma. Is this a sign of distorted humanity or something else?"

This kind of news will probably spread throughout Shanghai, and Dean Xiao will probably regret pairing the two of them up.

Tread~tap~
Footsteps echoed down the corridor and grew closer.

"The students are here, you should stop drinking!"

As soon as Mu Nujiao turned her head, the empty wine bottle on the podium had disappeared, and the spilled wine stains were no longer visible.

Even the overpowering smell of alcohol that permeated the air was swept away, replaced by a refreshing aroma.

Lin Ling and Mo Fan, who were just clinking glasses, had straightened their clothes and sat down in chairs with elegant yet handsome postures, as if what had just happened was all a dream.

"Jiaojiao, we are the team leaders, how can we drink alcohol in the classroom in broad daylight?" Lin Ling said seriously.

"That's right, Mu, watch your mouth. What crime are you going to be accused of if we do?" Mo Fan asked in a low voice.

“Slander,” Lin Ling replied.

"Yes! I'll sue you for defamation!"

Swish~!

Just then, the classroom door was opened by a tall, fair-skinned boy. He immediately saw Lin Ling and Mo Fan sitting on the podium, and his eyes instantly went blank.

First, she blinked, feeling a sense of unreality, then slammed the door shut, glanced at the sign at the classroom door, and confirmed that she hadn't gone to the wrong place.

He suddenly opened the classroom door, looked around carefully, and then closed the door again.

"Bai Hongfei, what are you doing? Why are you opening and closing the door back and forth? Is the mentor not here yet? We can go inside and wait." A cute girl with dimples couldn't help but complain about Bai Hongfei's strange behavior.

"No. I don't know if it's because I'm so excited, but I think I saw Lin Ling inside just now."

"Who?"

"Lin Ling."

"That Lin Ling?"

"Yes, it's that Lin Ling."

"!!!"

　Let's transition with a short scene.
