The next morning, Year 3 Class 9
"Brother, good news?"
Chen Ran actively leaned forward, nudging Ye Mingqiu with his elbow and asking.
"How did you know?"
"Co on, we’ve been classmates for two years. How could I not know what you were like when you were in school? You’re in such good spirits today; there must be good news." Chen Ran said with absolute certainty.
"How did you know I’ve beco a Spiritualist?" Ye Mingqiu asked, feigning "surprise".
"Huh?"
Chen Ran was montarily stunned, then widened his eyes and said incredulously, "No way! How long has it been? Since you started trying, it’s been only about a month, right?"
"Stay humble, stay humble."
Ye Mingqiu replied with a smile.
Right at this mont, a rhythmic knocking was heard, and the attention of the classmates in the classroom was drawn to the doorway, where a towering muscular guy, about six-foot-three, was standing and smiling, saying, "Hey! Is Ye Mingqiu in class? Co out and let’s go to the Little Spirit Realm for training!"
"Coming."
Ye Mingqiu stood up and replied, walking out with Lei Peng, leaving behind a classroom full of silent and puzzled students.
Suddenly, soone began to speak, "If I rember correctly, only by becoming a Spiritualist can you go for training in the Little Spirit Realm, right?"
"Spir... Spiritualist?"
"How is it possible in such a short ti!"
"You’ve got to be kidding, he was at the bottom of the rankings before. How did he beco a Spiritualist so quickly! It can’t go up so fast even without using any drugs, right?"
"Who knows, maybe he just threw enough money at it."
In the classroom, Chen Ran watched Ye Mingqiu’s departing figure and swallowed hard, as his gaze gradually hardened with determination. Today, he planned to make a brave decision.
....
"Brother, you’ve got serious skills, your class ranking was so low before and you beca a Spiritualist so quickly. I hear you’ve reached Lord Level, that’s really strong." Lei Peng remarked sincerely.
Being a Spiritualist, different categories have various standings. Lord Level Warriors are like temp workers earning five thousand a month; Lord Level Tanks are like formal workers earning five thousand; Lord Level Support are on payroll. But Lord Level Mage... well, he’s not a true Mage!
Even Hero Level wouldn’t qualify soone as a true Mage?
"Just by luck."
Ye Mingqiu replied humbly, then asked: "Where are we heading for the Little Spirit Realm next, and do I need to prepare anything beforehand?"
"Not far, it’s in the mountains north of the school, just need to take a bus to get there. As for preparation... it’s best to have two days’ worth of Spirit Realm food, the kind you can store in a Storage Space; otherwise, carrying them might be inconvenient."
Lei Peng paused, then continued: "Though it’s okay, Spirit Realm food isn’t expensive, just costs a few Spiritual Points, so if you don’t have any now, you can buy so later."
"Thanks, I already have them."
"...."
Lei Peng suddenly halted, turned back, his gaze becoming sympathetic as he looked at Ye Mingqiu, letting out a deep sigh and patting his shoulder without saying much before moving on.
Consoled
Ye Mingqiu had just beco a Spiritualist and had rely undergone the Spirit Realm trials, having Spirit Realm food ant it likely ca from a treasure chest. It’s hard to get treasure chests during Spirit Realm trials, and if it contained food, it would be a real loss.
Getting Spirit Realm food isn’t too difficult, but obtaining food that can be stored in a Storage Space is sowhat more challenging. For soone entering the Spirit Realm for the first ti, opening a treasure chest is almost the sole way to acquire it.
Thus, Lei Peng showed empathy and comfort, but after a few steps, he made a peculiar sound.
"Were you just secretly laughing?"
Ye Mingqiu asked.
"No, not at all. I’ve undergone strict training; no matter how unlucky you might be, I won’t laugh." Lei Peng turned his face solemnly to reply, yet he soon added:
"Unless I really can’t hold it in."
Ye Mingqiu: (눈‸눈)
....
Tang Ruobing’s exclusive training room, resting area
Lin Feng and Ke Fanxing sat on the sofa chatting, occasionally grabbing snacks from the coffee table. On the other side of the table, Tang Ruobing was seated in a chair flipping through "Advanced Application of Telekinesis Techniques", with another chair conveniently placed next to her.
Lei Peng swiftly sat on the sofa at lightning speed, with his large physique filling up the space, leaving no empty spot. He turned to Ye Mingqiu with an apologetic smile.
’Sorry, I didn’t want to sit over there.’
Coward!
Ye Mingqiu cursed silently, then sat in the chair next to Tang Ruobing, his gaze inadvertently falling on the girl beside him. Her aura as a scholarly achiever was strong, coupled with a unique charm that seed to silence those around her to obediently study.
Hiss... there indeed seems to be so pressure...
anwhile, Lei Peng, Lin Feng, and Ke Fanxing chatted while enjoying snacks, with Lin Feng actively explaining: "No rush, she’s studying, definitely don’t disturb her now, or she’ll get angry."
"But you guys are loud too."
Ye Mingqiu retorted.
"It’s okay, when she’s focused on studying, she can’t hear external noises. Mages have strong Spiritual Power, if trained from a young age, their Concentration can reach trendous levels." Lin Feng continued to explain.
"Oh."
Ye Mingqiu nodded, while looking at Tang Ruobing studying earnestly beside him, subconsciously recalling how she instantly replied when he ssaged her before.
Perhaps, her focus isn’t perfect and maintains a slight connection with the outside world.
Rather than disturbing, he more desires to watch her silently study. This calm atmosphere feels quite nice, with the occasional sound of flipping pages turning into a musical symphony cleansing a restless mind.
If I also had a book in hand to study together, perhaps it would be even better...
Oh no!
I’ve been infected by the study virus!
Not long after, Tang Ruobing closed the book, her gaze eting Ye Mingqiu’s, pupils slightly trembling, but she quickly adjusted her mindset, put the book away, and cleared her throat a couple of tis, attracting everyone’s attention before speaking:
"Sorry, I was too absorbed in studying just now, and occupied so of your ti."
"No worries! Only a few minutes, no biggie." Lin Feng replied with a smile.
"Yeah, the captain of the team next door even made them arrive an hour early, requiring each to write a detailed report and essay for him." Lei Peng said with a laugh.
"Writing reports and essays?"
Tang Ruobing pondered a mont, then said, "Doing so indeed can slightly enhance our overall team combat capability, preparing for the battles ahead."
"No way boss! I’m just a rough guy, asking to write essays feels like asking for my life!" Lei Peng said with grief.
Tang Ruobing chuckled and said, "If you don’t want to write essays, you must perform well in the upcoming training, or else... don’t bla for being ruthless."
