Chapter 317: The Fickle Idol

【"Little Five! Little Five!"】

【"Did you hear that!"】

【"A fight's about to break out!"】

In the skill bar.

【Earth Shield Spell】adopted the posture of an elder brother.

【"Remember the supreme principle Second Brother taught you yesterday!"】

【"Handling damage—that's crude work—it's Big Brother's, Third Brother's, and Fourth Sister's job!"】

Little Earth gave earnest advice.

【"If someone casts a spell at the Master!"】

【"Immediately raise a Wind Wall! And instantly boost the Master's movement speed! Activate Wind Walk and Riding the Clouds!"】

【"Oh right, that super powerful 'Ultimate Blade Wind Armor' too!"】

【"Understood?!"】

Hearing Second Brother's teachings.

【Wind Blade Spell】immediately responded obediently.

【"Got it, Second Brother!"】

【"Little Wind will protect the Master for sure!"】

Little Wind's voice was soft and sweet, brimming with innocence.

Little Earth nodded in satisfaction.

【"Good!"】

【"I'm pleased, Little Second!"】

At this moment.

【Fireball Spell】, hearing Little Second pretending to be the elder, couldn't hold back.

【"I can't take it anymore—two cowards, so embarrassing."】

Facing Big Brother's sarcasm.

In the past, 【Earth Shield Spell】might have only retreated.

But now it's different!

Now, it had younger siblings—it was someone's role model!

Before its younger siblings, the elder brother's image must be upheld!

【Earth Shield Spell】straightened its back firmly.

【"Big Brother, you're wrong to say that."】

【"We're just clearly divided in roles—do you get it?"】

Little Earth spoke with righteous confidence.

【"You handle offense, we handle defense—that's the perfect team setup!"】

Hearing this, 【Fireball Spell】refused to argue further, snorted coldly, and ignored it.

Just then.

【Ice Spike Spell】couldn't help but chime in.

【"Ah, the cowardly leader produces a cowardly little brother."】

【"The Master should've made Little Five my personal attendant—now he's ruined."】

Saying this, 【Ice Spike Spell】spread its hands wide.

Lin Mo couldn't take it anymore.

"Enough, enough."

At the Master's voice.

The skill bar fell instantly silent.

Lin Mo sighed.

"Little Wind."

"Do you know wind is hailed as the sharpest among all elements?"

"It's the power that can cut through all things."

"Your essence should be offensive."

Hearing the Master's words.

Little Wind blinked, confused.

【"Huh?"】

Lin Mo continued:

"Of course."

"Little Earth isn't wrong either."

"Defense and speed are indeed important."

"You need to live to deal damage."

Hearing the Master affirm him.

Little Earth immediately swayed proudly.

【"Did you hear? Did you hear?!"】

【"The Master says I'm right!"】

Lin Mo ignored Little Earth's boasting and continued speaking to Little Wind:

"But."

"You can't just have defense and speed."

"You're a mage."

"You must develop your offensive capabilities."

"Learn from your Big Brother."

Lin Mo named him directly.

"Learn from your Big Brother's aura of overwhelming destruction."

"Understood?"

Hearing the Master's words.

【Fireball Spell】swelled up dramatically.

【"Hmph! Did you hear? I'm the core of this family—I'm the real elder!"】

【"You, the newcomer, better learn from me."】

Watching Little Fire's display.

Little Earth felt embarrassed.

He snorted.

【"Hmph."】

【"So what?"】

【"The Master just said my defense and speed are fine too."】

Little Earth turned to Little Wind and spoke solemnly:

【"Little Five."】

【"Did you understand what the Master said?"】

【"As long as the Master's safety is guaranteed, if you have spare energy, you can develop some offensive ability."】

【"Understood?"】

Little Wind nodded uncertainly up and down.

【"Uh-huh…"】

【"Got it, Second Brother!"】

Hearing this exchange.

Lin Mo was speechless.

Hey hey hey.

Did I say that?

That doesn't sound right.

Lin Mo began to doubt.

Was letting Little Earth mentor Little Wind a mistake?

A perfectly good wind element.

A wind element hailed as the cutter of all things—turned into a mere speedster?

Lin Mo sighed.

Whatever.

Let fate decide.

……

……

The council chamber door stood wide open.

People kept entering from outside.

Not just senior members and directors of the Youth Association.

But also some ordinary young members of the Youth Association.

They were all young people who happened to be at the Youth Association headquarters on business that day; they had all overheard the election for president and came to watch.

Not long after.

The empty council chamber began to buzz with activity.

"Chairman Yan."

"Good day, Chairman Yan."

……

Young members kept greeting Yan Lie.

Yan Lie nodded with a smile in response.

Regarding these incoming ordinary members and staff,

Yan Lie did not drive them away.

Nor did he order anyone to clear the room.

For in the Dragon Nation Mage Youth Association, presidential elections have always been open to all.

After all,

The president represents the highest combat power of the Youth Association.

He represents the prestige of all young mages.

To hold this position firmly,

one must defeat everyone openly and fairly.

One must demonstrate unmatched strength before the eyes of all.

So that every young mage in the Youth Association—and indeed across the entire Dragon Nation—will accept it wholeheartedly.

Hiding or concealing one's power is impossible.

……

As more and more people entered,

the circular tiered seating gradually filled up.

In the previously quiet council chamber, murmurs began to rise.

Countless eyes fell upon Lin Mo, who sat beside Yan Lie.

"Hey, do you know who's sitting beside Chairman Yan?"

A young mage whispered to his companion.

"Who? If he's sitting beside Chairman Yan, he must be powerful."

The companion frowned.

He racked his brain but couldn't place the face.

"Pfft! Let me tell you—he's Lin Mo!"

The young mage said proudly.

"Lin Mo? Which Lin Mo?"

The companion blinked, asking instinctively.

"Which Lin Mo? The class monitor of this year's Dragon Order class at Jingda! The one who wiped out the Seven-Nation Alliance single-handedly on the World Arena!"

The young mage lifted his chin, beaming with pride—as if he himself had destroyed the Seven-Nation Alliance.

The companion suddenly understood.

"No way!"

"He's that demon king Lin Mo?"

After a brief shock,

the companion couldn't help but complain.

"Come on."

"Lin Mo's awesome, but why are you getting so worked up about it?"

The young mage rolled his eyes.

"You don't get it!"

"Lin Mo is my idol now!"

"My greatest idol!"

Hearing this,

the companion frowned.

"Didn't you swear just last week that Chairman Yan was your only idol for life?"

"Didn't you solemnly swear just last week that Chairman Yan Lie was the only idol of your life?"

At these words,

the young mage's eyes darted away.

"Cough, cough…"

"Chairman Yan was my past idol."

"Lin Mo, that's my current idol!"

"That's called keeping up with the times—do you get it?"

The companion rolled his eyes.

"Fine, you're the boss."

"Fine, you're awesome."
