magic high school

Chapter 155 Why are you all so skilled?

Thinking about the monthly exams set by that bastard Abaddon as the test setter, Li Ge suddenly felt that nothing was surprising anymore.

After all, this guy has recently done a lot of outrageous things, from becoming a cuckold to having his memories exposed, from the national fortune arena to showing off forty tons of magic potions in a single day —

Abaddon probably felt his soul was incredibly powerful, and no amount of stupidity or idiocy could stir any emotion in him, so he wanted to hone the character of the other students to be as strong as his own.

Li Ge thought this was very likely.

So this monthly exam was probably far more outrageous than I imagined.

Li Ge swallowed hard, realizing that the situation was not simple.

Therefore, the mental hospital should never have released him.

"Judging from your reaction, you seem to know this professor?" Xiaoye seemed to notice the trouble on Li Ge's face and asked directly.

"Yeah, it seems like Li Ge is going to pursue a double degree recently and keeps going to the Mysterious Academy. Do you know any professors at that Mysterious Academy? What's his style of setting exam questions like?" Valerie asked with great interest.

Li Ge: "————"

Could this be a chaotic brawl within a mental hospital?

"No—I don't know him—" Li Ge looked embarrassed.

After staring at Li Ge suspiciously for a while, the others let him go for the time being. Besides, they didn't know anything about the Mysterious Academy.

In any case, the reputation of the Mysterious Academy in the Noble Phantasm Department is quite strange. Some people think that it is a large group of eccentric people performing shamanistic rituals, while others think that it is like the Demon King's executive base, full of secret meetings held by people who do not meet, surrounded by strange mists that can cover their faces and bodies, and there is also a King of Mysteries or something.

However, Li Ge recalled the mysterious academy.

The senior who summons a succubus and chatters away with her in broad daylight —

The Order God Cult, with its obsessive-compulsive tendencies akin to robots —

Almost all of the upperclassmen wore monocles —

And that insane Abaddon—

Well, it would be strange if that place had a good reputation. Unlike the Noble Phantasm Department, which is very modern, going to the Noble Phantasm Department is basically like entering an engineering school.

Add to that the already mystical rituals and sacrifices, like divining before a fight and asking a god to possess you, and it's no wonder that this godforsaken place is misunderstood.

The group chatted as they walked towards their dormitories. Their dorms were right across from each other, making it very convenient to visit each other or even get a free meal.

It even felt like a shared dormitory. Valerie and Xiaoye often came here for meals, and Lige and Yilian would occasionally go to their fruit trees to pick some fruit to satisfy their cravings.

At the entrance of Lan's dormitory, Yilian seemed to see an acquaintance again.

"Hey, Senior Tu, Senior Hai," Yi Lian greeted them.

Li Ge also looked over and found that it was the earth elementalist he had met once before, but now he was appearing in the form of a stone man. However, no matter how you looked at it, this stone man seemed to have slightly different-sized eyes.

As for the other one, he was a sea elemental, and he was only half-humanoid, with his hair and lower body still in the form of waves, which made the other companions feel strange.

"You little brat, did you provoke a fairy with my treasure?" the earth elemental asked rudely as soon as they met.

"Uh—" Yi Lian scratched her head awkwardly. "What's wrong?"

"Hey, it's nothing really, it's just that Ah Tu got challenged by the Fairies today. Their dorm is right across from his, and they've had a lot of unpleasantness going on before. This time, Ah Tu thinks they're too arrogant, so he's going to accept the challenge," Hai Yuansu explained from the side.

Others: "————"

The fairies' reputation has gotten so bad that even the honest earth elementalist, known for his gentle and good-tempered nature, can't stand them.

"It's nothing, they're just too arrogant—" After getting to the point, the Earth Elemental wondered if he had overreacted, scratching his head with his rock-like arm.

"By the way, we've known each other for so long, where is your dormitory?" Yilian asked, which also aroused the curiosity of the others.

Both elements pointed in the same direction, which was probably across the street from Li Ge and the others, near the stream and rocks halfway up the mountain, where their dormitory was located.

"Our dorms are almost next to each other, but I'm on the west bank of the river, and A-Tu is on the east bank, near the mountain. Two fairies live right across from us," Hai Yuansu continued, pointing in different directions. Seeing this, Li Ge and the others felt even more how small the world was.

Unexpectedly, other fairies lived just one house away from them, only a few dozen meters away, and they hadn't even noticed before.

Whether by coincidence or not, just as they were all staring at the fairy's dormitory as if it were a monkey, the door opened, and Li Ge and the others immediately saw Daphne and another fairy wearing glasses and dressed in pink velvet walking out together.

The group: "————"

I never expected we lived so close, but it's been almost half a year and we haven't run into each other at all.

Upon noticing the situation, especially when the pink fairy with glasses saw the earth element, she immediately frowned and looked displeased.

But she held her head high, passing by the group without flinching or avoiding them, just like a swan. The fairy named Daphne even frowned and lingered on Li Ge's mask for more than a second.

As they were about to leave, the pink fairy said, "You bumpkin, watch out so I don't see any more mud and dirt you leave behind, or I'll get rough!"

After saying that, he strode away, leaving everyone with only his arrogant and haughty back view.

The group: "————"

Especially when Li Ge and the others noticed the Earth Element senior, they found that his entire face had turned into obsidian, and they wondered if this was the Earth Element Red Temperature.

To be able to provoke the usually good-natured earth element to this extent, it seems that fairies all have this kind of nasty personality.

She seems far inferior to the sweet and soft-spoken Mori-senpai.

"Sigh, that's the contradiction. Ah Tu can't do anything about it. Even though he's trying to control himself, no matter how much he tries, there will always be some soil residue and turbulence in the places he moves or lives. That's a characteristic of the earth element," the sea element explained, shrugging.

"They're like lunatics, they'll cause me trouble over the slightest trace of dirt," said the Earth Elementalist. "How could I possibly leave not a single speck of dirt behind? Besides, the main gate is cleaned and refreshed every day, it doesn't bother them at all—"

That was the second demon Li Ge had encountered; all I can say is, well, equally wicked and unbearable.

"Perhaps they have mysophobia?" Li Ge asked slowly.

"If she's sick, she should go get treatment. Turn left to the Medical Department, Mental Hospital," the Earth Element senior said without much politeness. "I'll teach her a lesson then. Xiao Hai, let's go."

"Oh." Hai Yuanshu greeted the others and followed them, leaving a trail of water on the ground.

Li Ge and the others: "————"

Looking at the water stains and inconspicuous dusty footprints on the ground, they realized that although there was nothing seriously wrong, they suddenly felt that the elemental spirits actually lived a very tiring life in civilized society.

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do, that's just how elemental spirits are." Yi Lian shrugged, then continued. Even water and earth elementals like them, who are already the most adapted to school life, still encounter many problems.

For more extreme elements like fire and lightning, it's practically impossible to move an inch.

"Actually, this is quite normal. Different races have completely different habits, cultures, customs, etc., which is perfectly normal. The so-called academy doesn't require everyone to follow a uniform standard. We should seek common ground while reserving differences, accommodate each other, and allow people of any race to become friends. I think this is the result the school wants," Li Ge said, with his hands behind his head.

"But it seems the fairies don't agree with that. They seem to think the whole universe revolves around them, and everyone else has to act according to their will," Valerie remarked.

"So, that's the contradiction." Li Ge shrugged. At first, he wasn't used to some of Yi Lian's habits, but over time he stopped caring. Sometimes he would step into a puddle when he went out and thought it was normal.

The group put the little incident behind them and returned to their dormitory.

The group returned to their dormitory and immediately got to work.

Only Li Ge slumped onto the sofa, unwilling to move.

The virtual arena is great in every way, except it consumes a lot of psionic energy. The injuries and other effects are fake, but the tactile feedback and psionic energy consumption are real.

Just now, he was the one who had expended the most energy among everyone.

After all, he is still slowly replenishing his psionic energy base, and his blue bar is currently only at an average level.

"So next time, just wait for everyone to come properly," Xiaoye said irritably.

"Okay, okay." Li Ge casually let the mask blend into her face, then took off her trench coat.

Xiaoye took the trench coat directly and seemed to habitually hang it on the hanger.

"What do you want to eat today?" she asked, turning her head as if she were asking Li Ge, but also as if she were asking everyone.

"Whatever, just add more meat." Li Ge didn't care. Anyway, everyone's tastes were different, and they all ate it with their own dipping sauce after it was stewed.

This series of actions left Yilian and Valerie completely stunned.

"This isn't right—" Valerie suddenly said, "When did they become so close?"

"There's a problem, there must be something wrong." Yi Lian looked suspicious. It seemed like there was nothing they didn't know during this time, so why were you so familiar with it?

"What are you doing?" Xiaoye suddenly asked. "We're asking you what you want to eat."

"Xiao Ye, why are you suddenly so nice today?" Valerie suddenly said.

"Yeah, why are you the one cooking? Isn't it usually Li Ge who does this? And are you even capable of doing it?" Yi Lian complained.

They all agreed that something was wrong!

Xiaoye: "?"

It's hard now, it's hard now, my fist is hard!

Yi Lian and Valerie exchanged a glance and tacitly retreated behind Li Ge.
