Thanks for the effort.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo nodded, his expression relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu watched his casual demeanor and sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had watched this young master grow up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he’d always been lazy since childhood—preferring to lie down rather than sit up—he’d never been the spoiled, arrogant type common among wealthy heirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was always courteous and humble to servants; everyone in the household adored this little young master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d expected this awakening setback to depress him for a while, but he’d shown unexpected drive—jumping straight into an all-night leveling session after awakening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad... he’d awakened as a blank-element mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu’s eyes flickered with regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, the mage class prized “elemental affinity” above all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Affinity determined not only damage output and skill-learning probability, but also “control” over magical abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flame mage with fire affinity—even a beginner—could make fireballs obey his will, striking exactly where he aimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a blank-element mage? It was like wielding a gun with massive recoil—whether it hit depended on fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap in control grew more obvious the higher the level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young master had the will, but this innate deficiency was too difficult to overcome...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu thought silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d done her best to help him level these past few days, but reaching the legendary “Capital Supreme Academy” was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That academy had stood for centuries—and had never admitted a single blank-element mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she pondered, the two had advanced deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu halted, her expression growing serious:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master, ahead is the territory of Shadow Wolves. They’re also level 3, but famed for speed and agility—extremely troublesome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to Lin Mo and suggested:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With your current control over Fireball Spell, even if I reduce it to near-death, you’ll likely miss such a fast target.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Missing wastes mental energy and time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My advice: bypass this area and head west for ‘Ironhide Wild Boars.’ They’re slow-moving, thick-skinned—perfect for practicing your aim.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo listened, then shrugged indifferently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re already here. If we run into one, just weaken it for me—don’t waste the experience.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu still tried to persuade him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax, Sister Ye. I’ve got some confidence in my aim.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo grinned, radiating confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, last night little Fireball had already cleared this whole area—Lin Mo had zero worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu froze, staring at his confident expression, a flicker of doubt rising in her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did he get this confidence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably never faced a high-agility monster before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even an S-rank fire-affinity mage, on their first day of class, would barely hit a Shadow Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Ye Hongyu reconsidered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True—wild monsters in Verdant Grassland weren’t nearly as fast as Shadow Wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must’ve never seen one, hence this misplaced confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. Since you insist, let’s try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu said no more, gripping her daggers tightly, “If you miss, I’ll finish it immediately—no danger to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it, Sister Ye. Thanks, Sister Ye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo slapped her shoulder with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he spoke—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick bushes on the left exploded open as a gray-black shadow shot out like a released arrow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Shadow Wolf, Level: Lv.3】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu’s eyes sharpened—her body moved faster than her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kicked off, her figure darting like a ghost, daggers slicing through the air with icy gleam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow Wolf mid-leap let out a shriek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu precisely slashed its front leg and belly, then delivered a sharp side kick to its waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolf crashed to the ground—alive but battered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master, now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu shouted, stepping back to clear the killing zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though wounded, as a speed-focused beast, its survival instincts remained formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would the young master seize this chance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go, little Fire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo gave the command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 barely glanced at the wolf: Hmph.
