Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Bai Jingting looked at Bai Yu lounging on the sofa like a slouching Ge You and couldn't help but scold, "You're so old, and you still have no manners. You're a high school homeroom teacher now, not a student anymore. You have no sense of professional discipline. What will others think if they see this!"

And I've told you so many times, at school, you should address people by their titles.

"Isn't there no one else here?" Bai Yu pouted, then deliberately raised her voice and said, "Okay, Bai Yu!"

"Drinking these junk drinks again!"

Bai Jingting's brow furrowed as he spoke reprimandingly, and with a gentle wave of his hand, the blue drink in Bai Yu's hand flew directly into the trash can.

"Hey, hey, I haven't finished my drink yet! Don't waste it!"

Bai Yu hurriedly stood up and rushed forward, trying to catch up with the blue drink in the air.

Unexpectedly, she hadn't run two steps when she suddenly stopped, as if she had bumped into a transparent glass. She then clutched her forehead and squatted down in pain, tears streaming down her face.

"All you do is bully people, so what if you're extraordinary!"

Seeing the blue drink smoothly disappear into the trash can, Bai Jingting walked past Bai Yu, who was squatting on the ground rubbing her forehead, and went behind his desk, pulling out a chair and sitting down.

"Being extraordinary is amazing. If you're not convinced, then work hard to cultivate and become an extraordinary mage as soon as possible, so you won't be hindered by my petty tricks."

Bai Yu stood up, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and muttered, "You should say that to my uncle and my dad, or at least my cousin. It's not my place!"

"Their talent is not as good as yours. If they are unlucky, they may be stuck at the high-level mage level for the rest of their lives."

Bai Jingting casually gave a reply, then picked up a document from the upper left corner of his desk and began reading, while also asking Bai Yu, "How is that student from your class who jumped off the building doing now?"

"With Director Zhang here, my body has certainly been cured." Bai Yu returned to the sofa and sat down, but this time her posture was much more upright.

She wouldn't mention that Director Zhang had also taken Wang Yi as a live teacher. If this old-fashioned grandfather found out about such a blatant violation of regulations, even Director Zhang would inevitably get a scolding, and might even receive a major demerit and a public reprimand.

"Hmm, Director Zhang's medical expertise is indeed very trustworthy." Bai Jingting picked up a pen, wrote a few words on the document, put it aside, and then picked up the next document to continue reading.

"Well... there are some aftereffects." Bai Yu hesitated for a moment, but still continued.

"What are the possible long-term effects?"

"Because he landed headfirst, his brain was the most severely damaged. Although he was later cured by Director Zhang, the neurological damage is the most complex. Director Zhang said that it is possible that he will experience intellectual decline and slow reaction after waking up."

"Is it that serious?" Hearing this, Bai Jingting put down his pen, looked up at Bai Yu, and asked, "Is this student awake now?"

"He's awake now. I talked to him briefly and it seems his intelligence hasn't been impaired, and his reaction speed is normal. He's just lost a lot of his memories, which I suspect is due to severe brain nerve damage."

"Also, I don't know if it's because of amnesia, but the way he looks at me is much more composed and clear, and his personality seems a bit different too. It feels like he's a completely different person. I think that's a good thing, after all, this child was before..."

"It's someone else?" Bai Jingting subconsciously clenched his fist, interrupting Bai Yu with a slightly serious tone.

"Uh, it does seem a bit like it. Of course, that's just my feeling. But speaking of which, it's really strange that this student would suddenly jump off a building. Although this kid is unruly, flamboyant, and has some ulterior motives, he doesn't seem like the type to commit suicide. He wouldn't jump off a building just to attract attention, would he? And..."

As Bai Yu spoke, she suddenly noticed that Bai Jingting's expression was becoming increasingly serious, even solemn.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yu asked, puzzled. It was the first time he had ever seen such a solemn expression on his great-grandfather's face.

Although it's not common for students to suffer amnesia after jumping off buildings, it can still be considered a major safety incident at the school, which might be used by some people to make a fuss.

But surely it shouldn't make my great-grandfather so nervous, or even as if facing a formidable enemy?

"Do you still remember the Battle of Liyuan twelve years ago?" Bai Jingting took a deep breath, and some long-forgotten memories slowly surfaced in his mind.

"Are you referring to the battle in which China suffered the greatest loss since the beginning of the magical era? I remember the records saying that the Battle of Liyuan, which wiped out the entire Tianfu Army, was mainly caused by Lin Qingyu, the former commander of the First Division of the Tianfu Army. In his early years, Lin Qingyu was invaded by the mind of a spiritual sacred beast and then remained dormant for decades, which led to..."

At this point, Bai Yu paused for several seconds, then belatedly opened her mouth wide in realization: "You suspect that Wang Yi might also have had his mind invaded by a mental-type sacred beast?"

"But why him!"

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Bai Jingting asked with slight surprise, "Is there anything special about this Wang Yi?"

Bai Yu explained to Bai Jingting, "Wang Yi is the orphan of a martyr. I remember in his file, his parents were soldiers serving in the Tianfu Army. I think his parents must have also sacrificed their lives on the Liyuan battlefield when he was only four years old."

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, even Bai Jingting, who had experienced many trials and tribulations, was filled with mixed emotions and remained silent for a moment.

After a long silence, Bai Jingting finally spoke, "After all, this is still just suspicion. Perhaps I'm being too sensitive. After all..."

Bai Jingting seemed to see the image of Lin Qingyu, who was once as radiant and dazzling as the sun.

Although Bai Jingting and Lin Qingyu didn't have a deep relationship, as contemporaries, who could ignore the name Lin Qingyu?

Bai Jingting was also once overshadowed by the genius named "Lin Qingyu," and the harder he tried to catch up, the more powerless he felt.

At that time, almost all of the high-ranking officials in China believed that Lin Qingyu would eventually grow into a forbidden mage, responsible for protecting the land, safeguarding the people, and defending against demonic beasts.

Until twelve years ago.

In the twelfth month of the 84th year of the Magic Calendar, in the Battle of Li Yuan, the Tianfu Army was almost completely wiped out, with very few survivors.

This once top-three elite military force in China was completely wiped out.
