Chapter 29: Sightseeing Training

……

Time passes quickly; in the blink of an eye, the first semester of the second year has ended, and the one hundred students of the elite class have ushered in the field training activity arranged by the school.

Hmm, an activity—a sightseeing activity.

After all, a group of kids who cannot even stably release Magic yet would be nothing more than a buffet if they truly faced demons.

Xuefengshan Yizhan.

After a round of self-introductions, Chief Instructor Zhankong began to explain the content of this training assessment.

"I know you are all the most outstanding young Mages in Bo City, and I believe you have enough strength to handle this assessment. Besides, I am a kind-hearted person who doesn't like to make things difficult for others, so your assessment this time is very simple!"

Upon hearing this, the accompanying teachers had an extremely ominous premonition.

"I have received a bounty here, the difficulty of which is the lowest on our bounty board. As long as one person among you one hundred can complete it, your training evaluations will all pass, and the grades will all be 'A'."

Just as Zhankong finished speaking, before the students in the plaza could react, the veteran Hunter Mages outside who were there to watch the fun were no longer calm.

Let a group of brats complete a bounty mission?

Are you kidding?!

Even the lowest-difficulty bounty mission is not something these students can complete; even their experienced Hunter Mage squads have a high risk of failure!

"Really? As long as one person completes it, we all get an 'A'?"

A female student below doubted her own ears.

"Yes," Zhankong said.

"As long as one of you can complete the bounty, everyone gets an 'A'. Conversely, if you cannot complete the bounty, then all of you will fail!"

"Yay!"

Hearing Zhankong's confirmation, the students present cheered immediately.

The faces of teachers like Xue Musheng and Tang Yue were also somewhat strange.

Although the idea of letting students complete a bounty was somewhat beyond their expectations, as long as one person completes it, everyone passes?

It seems that the school board member Deng Kai really has pulled some strings.

"Are these kids crazy?"

Looking at these cheering students, the Hunter Mages outside were all stunned.

What is there to be happy about?

"You look very happy?" Zhankong's tone suddenly became heavy.

"I know there is a special person among you whose existence can almost easily carry all of you."

While speaking, Zhankong and the students present all focused their gazes on Lv Cheng, who was at the back of the team looking at the scenery.

"Lv Cheng!" Zhankong shouted in a low voice.

Lv Cheng turned his head and took a deep breath.

"Here!!!"

A response that almost resounded through the clouds directly shocked the students present until their legs went weak, and they almost couldn't stand steady.

"Good spirit!" Zhankong was very appreciative.

"But it's a pity, I have learned about your situation. Your strength is truly a bit excessive for this kind of assessment, so, regarding you, I have an interesting... *cough cough*, a new assessment method!"

The corner of Lv Cheng's eye twitched, "What kind of game?"

"You cannot send your sub-dragon into battle!" Zhankong said.

"In the upcoming training operation, you cannot let your sub-dragon fight; otherwise, the grades of the students in your team will be directly judged as failing!"

"……"

"What?!"

Before Lv Cheng could speak, the other students exploded instantly.

"Why?!"

"Exactly!"

"Quiet!" Zhankong's face hardened.

"Do you really think an 'A' grade is so easy to get? Want to lie back and win?"

"Get your identities straight! You are Magicians! The duty of a Magician is to fight! To fight against demons!"

"Look at how you looked just now, and look at how you look now! Where is there any sign of a Magician? Each and every one of you is thinking about taking shortcuts and reaping the benefits without working!"

"If you are thinking about lying back before you even graduate from school, then when you encounter danger in the future, will you need ordinary people to protect you bunch of trash!"

"If you all hold this kind of mentality, you might as well roll back to school early and drop out voluntarily!"

Trash who only think about lying back and winning?

These words deeply stung those students who had just excitedly retorted, and one by one, they lowered their heads with flushed faces.

"Chief Instructor, I can understand that your restriction is to let other students be independent, but isn't it a bit too unfair to Lv Cheng?" Tang Yue said.

"He can choose not to participate in this training and hide back at school to be his genius; after all, the results of this training are irrelevant to him," Zhankong said.

A Summoning Element Initial Stage Mage who produces something like a sub-dragon—those top-tier academies are probably already secretly discussing snatching him up.

This news had already spread half a year ago, but until now, Lv Cheng has still been staying safely at school. Based on his understanding of those noble families, it is highly probable that someone wants to pull Lv Cheng into their own family.

After all, the strength of the Summoning Element, or rather, the strength of Dimensional Magic, is closely related to Spiritual Power. To be able to produce something like a sub-dragon at the Initial Stage, this Lv Cheng's spiritual talent...

It is unimaginable!

"Can I choose not to participate?" Lv Cheng asked doubtfully.

"Of course," Zhankong said.

"I have also heard the news from the Magic Association; you have already faced a Giant-Eyed Rat and killed it. For you, this training itself has no meaning."

The main purpose of this field training is to let these students experience the fear and pressure when facing demons. When Lv Cheng faced a demon in the city, his first reaction was not to run away, but to release Magic to attack. His psychological quality no longer needs to be doubted.

"Giant Eyed Rat?"

"Lv Cheng killed a Giant Eyed Rat? When?"

"I seem to have heard of this..."

"..."

Hearing Zhankong's explanation, the expressions of the students in the square varied.

They hadn't even seen a real demon beast yet, yet Lv Cheng had actually already completed a kill?

Isn't this gap a bit too large?

"Then I won't participate." Lv Cheng gave up very decisively.

He had come here this time mainly to get some Spring of Mania, and incidentally to see the scenery; after all, having grown up this much, he had never left the urban area.

Night fell.

Lv Cheng left the accommodation area alone and came to the edge of the cliff.

"What's wrong, in a bad mood?" Tang Yue quietly followed him and sat down beside Lv Cheng.

Lv Cheng turned his head, "You have been a bit too attentive to me lately."

Tang Yue's attitude toward him had become increasingly strange recently; she had maintained a distance before, but lately, she had started probing.

When there were no outsiders around, Tang Yue always intentionally or unintentionally initiated contact with him that could easily lead to accidents.

Can't hold back anymore?

"Is that so?" Tang Yue felt a little embarrassed.

"Yes." Lv Cheng leaned back and looked up at the starry sky.

"If it weren't for my firm willpower, I'm afraid I would have been executed on the spot by you last week."

The three elements of love: responsibility, ideals, and sex.

Don't think that love is some kind of sacred thing; humans themselves are animals driven by various physiological hormones to carry out activities, and love, as defined by humans, naturally cannot be anything sacred. Only those who have never experienced love would embellish it, making it seem beautiful and spotless.

In reality, there is no such thing as perfection; even Liu Yifei needs to eat, drink, and defecate.

Appetite and sexual desire are both biological instincts; there is nothing shameful about them.

If one lacked these desires, then that person would truly have a problem—either something is wrong with their brain, missing some neural centers, or something is wrong with their body, unable to produce the corresponding reactions.

He is a normal person, a normal man, and Tang Yue is a normal woman; a handsome man and a beautiful woman, in the prime of their youth, and without hating each other, it would be strange if they didn't have feelings after spending so much time together.
