Don’t forget the lesson we learned a month ago!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her authority among the students was clearly strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the students offered no objection and simply reformed their line behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Luo De.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After accounting for everyone, Milinda politely bid Luo De farewell and resumed her field study journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just before leaving, the teacher with dark red hair and a handsome, noble-looking black-haired boy both gave him a long, deep look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That boy was the one who had spoken those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De didn’t bother with a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the dark red-haired teacher, from fragments of conversation he learned her name was Rita.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this Teacher Rita had secretly cast a spell on him, thinking it hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could tell with your toes—it was a tracking spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Youth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching their retreating backs, it oddly reminded him of school-organized spring outings from his childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Invisible Constant Yin Yin] suddenly activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It expelled a faint ripple of magical energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This spiritual technique dispels negative magic; Luo De had never used it here before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far away, Teacher Rita froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked back from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo De didn’t bother to look at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gema the goblin and the half-dragon Xia Li arrived that evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were dusty and exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Luo De quietly sipping hot tea by the lake, they were taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good heavens, Mr. Luo De, how did you get here so fast?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gema said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her magical puppet was missing one arm and bore numerous scorch marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Li the half-dragon was better off—only her left leg was bandaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We accidentally triggered a labyrinth rule while avoiding monsters; just escaping took a full day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Li chuckled bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of labyrinth rule?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De had Tally bring them hot tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held a high-level access pass and could largely bypass the labyrinth’s rules, but that didn’t stop him from being curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adventurers call it the ‘Gate of Time.’ The rule is that time in a certain area suddenly accelerates or reverses, trapping people inside—they must find the pattern to escape.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sounds not too hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This rule ignores rank. Don’t underestimate it—many have died because of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Li’s expression turned serious, then she remembered the man before her held an access pass—he clearly wasn’t afraid of labyrinth rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guess what? I ran into a field study group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Tally cooked them a meal, Luo De recounted his encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Baha Dur Magic Academy—the top magic academy in the Aiselong Kingdom, with an extremely low admission rate. And, heh, many say they discriminate against non-human races.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gema sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled a thick, unusually large puppet arm from her spell satchel and fiddled with how to attach it to her own puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder the field study group had only humans.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My cousin once took their entrance exam—she ranked in the top twenty for both theory and combat, yet she failed. Meanwhile, a human ranked outside the top hundred got in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren’t goblins incapable of casting spells? Why take a magic academy entrance exam?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De didn’t ask outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally, ever attentive to her master, noticed and whispered in his ear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dwarves can’t cast spells, brother~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, thanks. No—can you read minds?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally giggled and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though a succubus, her behavior was restrained—even her kiss didn’t extend her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Luo De felt a restless itch inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it because her face looks so much like mine?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a human academy, after all. I heard humans aren’t the only ones there—halfings are the second most common race.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Li the half-dragon remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her energy had faded; she shed her leather coat, kicked off her boots, and sprawled lazily in the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Heavenly Flower Kingdom, which loudly promoted equality among all races, racial equality has always been a heated topic of debate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Aiselong Kingdom left public opinion unchecked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Non-human races within the kingdom, lacking ideological guidance, were not particularly interested in discussing such topics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation quickly shifted to “Why a magic academy, not a spiritual one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because magic is powerful, of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Li said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half-dragons, like true dragons, have innate magical talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This half-dragon with diluted dragon blood was especially unfortunate compared to her peers—she hadn’t awakened even one powerful native spiritual technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the goblin Gema, who had traveled far and wide, was far more experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since it’s a human-built academy, it naturally follows the human advancement path—damn it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She overdid it and snapped off the already damaged head of her magical puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Li burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laughter stopped abruptly when Gema calmly pulled out an identical magical puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As everyone knows, at the seventh tier, spiritual energy undergoes a qualitative change. Magic, as a form of spiritual energy, has been artificially optimized, and the path to seventh tier is far clearer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A legendary mage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Legendary is one path. There are also Field Mages and Arcane Mages.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De had never heard this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because he wasn’t a mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Think of it this way—Legendary Mages represent the peak of individual power; Field Mages require building a mage tower and govern regions—all court mages are Field Mages; Arcane Mages are researchers who study the original state of spells.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about someone like me—a regular spiritual warrior? Is there a path?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De asked eagerly, intrigued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goblin smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No path, Mr. Luo De. Spiritual warriors aren’t like mages who split into branches and schools. There’s only one path—stronger, harder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were a game, this would be a far duller class than magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Tally brought the thick soup to the two women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wrapped her arms around Luo De’s shoulders from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I like stronger and harder~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De smiled, breathing in Tally’s familiar sweet scent, gently stroking the back of her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have the Domination Spell—I can obtain all native spiritual techniques in full state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why chase after the strength of magic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1081,"2026-06-20T19:55:30.170Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","637f334111a542760d28623ea204fe48dd7b2d0596e2bf74a919b5d27f2dc4b2","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-68","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-66",704,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-cover.jpg"]
