The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality

Xu Feng subconsciously nocked the arrow again and prepared to aim.

This scene inevitably drew whispers from the surrounding students.

"This fraudulent gentleman, though tall and imposing, is nowhere near as muscular as Warren. How can he even draw a bow? That's the fifth arrow already! I remember Warren could only shoot three arrows in a row, wasn't he?"

"Do you think this fraudulent gentleman might have cheated using magic? Otherwise, how could he have fired five arrows in a row?"

"I think so too. After all, the Gentleman of Deception always likes to use magic to gain popularity. He must have cheated with magic."

Upon hearing this, Warren broke out in a cold sweat. He had actually cheated. What shocked him even more was that, with his average magical aptitude, he couldn't detect the slightest magical fluctuation around Xu Feng.

Surprisingly, there was no trace of magical energy emanating from Xu Feng's body.

There are only two possibilities now. One is that Xu Feng's magical aptitude is stronger than his, that is, a mid-to-high grade magical aptitude, or even a top grade magical aptitude, which is why he couldn't see that Xu Feng was cheating with magic.

That's absolutely impossible. You have to understand that Xu Feng is just the son of a baron. His magical talent is at most low-grade, how could it be average?

You should know that his mother had an affair with a member of the royal family and gave birth to him. To say it was an affair was really just a case of surrogacy.

Because members of the royal family all possess exceptional magical aptitude, generally ranking in the upper-middle range.

That's why Warren was able to possess intermediate magical aptitude.

It's impossible that the Thomas family also borrowed offspring from the royal family, right?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

How could such a useless family as the Thomas family possibly obtain royal blood?

In other words, there is only the second possibility left: Xu Feng is exceptionally gifted!

Thinking of this, the arrow flew out with a "whoosh!" This time Xu Feng was lucky and hit the target directly.

The target exploded with a loud "bang," sending straw fragments flying everywhere as the entire target shattered in the middle.

The arrow, carrying bits of straw, pierced the target, its momentum undiminished, and plunged directly into a large tree a hundred meters away, embedding itself deep into the wood.

The mentor, Peter Pan, standing to the side, also stared wide-eyed in astonishment:

This looks like the Explosive Arrow spell?

I'm not sure, I'll take another look.

Seeing the brick being thrown with such force, one of the students watching couldn't help but mutter:

"I knew it. That fraudulent gentleman definitely cheated with magic. He even used Explosive Arrow."

"You're kidding, right? Didn't you say the Deceptive Gentleman has no real skills? What the hell is Exploding Arrow? Isn't that a magic skill only high-ranking rangers learn? How could the Deceptive Gentleman know such magic?"

"My goodness, is this the legendary Exploding Arrow? With this kind of archery skill, he could easily revitalize a baronial family, right? Why does this deceitful gentleman have to resort to magic to attract attention?"

"It's easy to look down on deceitful gentlemen, but who wouldn't want to rush into marrying someone as capable and deceitful as him!"

"If you can't find someone you like, why not just marry a con artist? His archery skills are so superb, he must be pretty good in that area too."

Xu Feng, the person involved, was completely bewildered, realizing that he had simply shot the target with too much force.

How did it get mistakenly called an exploding arrow?

Kind of outrageous.

Xu Feng shot more than a hundred arrows in a row before he barely completed the task.

At this moment, all the students around were stunned.

"Fire over a hundred arrows in a row? And every arrow that hits is an explosive arrow? Is that even possible?"

"Doesn't this guy get tired?"

"Oh! I see! That damned gentleman of deception won't fool me. He must have used magic to restore his energy!"

Warren was already questioning his existence. To be able to master a spell like Explosive Arrow meant that the other party's magical skill was extremely high.

In other words, the other party is very likely to have a higher magical aptitude than oneself.

What a joke! That damned fraudulent gentleman is also an unacknowledged member of the royal family?

No wonder the Thomas siblings grew up without a mother.

Eloun looked at Xu Feng with a puzzled expression; this deceitful gentleman actually possessed such superb martial arts skills.

Why didn't Your Highness send him to fill in the gaps, but instead sent him here to perform a mission?

It's such a waste that such a good filler seedling isn't used as a filler baby.

Well, Her Highness must have her reasons for sending this oddball brother and sister to carry out the mission with them.

This is not something that we can question.

Filonia, meanwhile, gently praised him from the side:

"Honey, you're amazing."

However, as she drew her bow, she shot five arrows that hit the bullseye.

Xu Feng couldn't tell whether Fei Luoliya was praising him or making sarcastic remarks.

With a hit rate of five out of one hundred arrows, Xu Feng became even more convinced of his idea that he was indeed not suited for ranged attacks and that melee combat was his true calling.

Chidori Ayase glanced at Xu Feng with a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes.

She felt that Xu Feng seemed to be deliberately hiding his talents, but he didn't do it well enough; his attempt to hide his talents was rather foolish.

At the Canary Magic Academy, the first month consists of theoretical classes, and the following month is dedicated to practical classes.

After archery class came swordsmanship class.

The instructor for their class was Serius, the épée instructor. Looking at this unshaven, unkempt, and seemingly ordinary middle-aged man, Xu Feng's face flashed with a look of seriousness.

According to the intelligence Tom has gathered on the powerful figures in the capital over the past month, this Serius is a super reclusive powerhouse.

Its predecessor was Serius, a legendary adventurer from the Adventurers' Guild, known as the Dragon Slayer.

This person's strength is probably on par with Peter Pan, comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings, and no less than mine.

Serius recognized Philolia, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face.

Unexpectedly, he, a dragon-slaying hero, was defeated by a student whose magic had gone berserk.

He glanced at Xu Feng standing next to Fei Luolia and thought angrily, "If I can't beat you, can't I beat your little boyfriend?"

Thinking this, Serius spoke calmly:

"This lesson is very simple: get familiar with the sword in your hand. The best way to get familiar with the sword in your hand is through sparring."

"Um... Gentleman Deception, come here and help the teacher practice with the students around you."

Xu Feng didn't think much of it. He wanted to test the strength of this powerful expert, so he picked up the iron sword from the weapon rack and walked over.

Serius gave a confident smile:

"Attack!"

Xu Feng nodded:

"good!"

Mads Mikkelsen is skilled in hand-to-hand combat and wields a short blade.

However, he is not proficient in fighting with long blades. He only has basic skills, but he has not reached the master level like he has with short blades and hand-to-hand combat.

Xu Feng's longsword combat technique can almost be described as Xia Ji's Eight Slashes, because the speed is so fast that the technique is not very useful.

He had suffered a lot of losses in close combat with Qianpo and Feiluolia before.

Xu Feng didn't think much of it. He raised his sword, took a step, and almost instantly created a series of afterimages as he attacked.

Serius originally thought that he was just a student and there was no need to take him too seriously.

Xu Feng's sudden speed really startled him!

Seleus held his sword horizontally, narrowly blocking the attack with a loud clang, feeling a slight numbness in his hand from the impact.

Their gazes met in the air, their pupils reflecting each other's images, accompanied by a burst of sparks.

Xu Feng's black, tousled hair fluttered slightly, his expression calm and composed, as if his attack had been casually delivered, causing Serius's pupils to contract slightly.

Holy crap, are all students these days monsters?

Although the attack is straightforward, its power and speed should not be underestimated!
