Chapter 239: Chapter 166: The Powerful Magic Fighter
The instructor’s brow furrowed even more. He acknowledged Long Yi and was quite familiar with his character. He knew that Long Yi was not the type to cause trouble without reason but that he was someone who bore grudges. There must be someone who screwed up here!
"No one wants to answer? So that’s the kind of students I’ve raised! Well, all of you will do! The target is Long Yi! A barehand combat! Get started!"
If no one was going to admit it, let them all bear the consequences!
At this command, someone finally couldn’t bear to be the scapegoat any longer.
"Instructor, the boss did it!" someone shouted.
"Bullshit! Who’s the boss?" cursed the instructor, even though he knew there was a hierarchy within each class, it was never openly discussed.
"Sorry Instructor! It’s Kast!" The student shrunk his neck and shouted.
"Kast?" The instructor remembered the leave record from the morning. Kast, who seemed to have no issues, suddenly claimed to be unwell and needed to go to the hospital. The instructor had agreed since Kast usually performed well. However, it now seemed as if Kast had run away.
"You three! Go find Kast for me! Even if he’s dead, bring me his corpse!"
The instructor pointed randomly at three students standing together, who ran away as if pardoned from a death sentence.
"And you! Long Yi! Look at yourself! Leading a group of little girls! What kind of show are you running!" The instructor couldn’t just take Long Yi’s side; he needed to balance the scales.
"Instructor, I also just entered the fourth grade, my name is Ai Lin!" Ai Lin stepped forward.
"Instructor, I’m an exchange student named Mina, I can pick whatever grade I want!" Mina also swam forward.
"Instructor, I’m Little Zi, the master’s maid. You don’t need to worry about me, I’m just a servant." Little Zi respectfully said.
"Instructor, I’m just an artifact made of pure metal, you don’t need to notice me." The Golem spoke.
The first three people spoke normally, but Long Yi almost burst into laughter when the Golem spoke, seemingly becoming a comedian.
The instructor saw the crowd around Long Yi, but noticed that both Bajie and Xiaoyou were standing lazily off to the side, showing no Dragon Clan consciousness. The instructor suddenly felt speechless towards Long Yi.
In fact, instructors of all grades usually gather together. Long Yi, as a man of the moment, was naturally the topic of their conversations. The evaluations of Long Yi from the first to the third grade instructors were simply speechless.
If it’s about fighting, Long Yi learned faster than anyone else, hardly needing any training, could easily defeat ten people at a time. This leads to Long Yi often being idle during training classes- afterall no student dare to spar with Long Yi. And if the instructor sparred with Long Yi, the first-grade instructor already proved that it wasn’t a good plan.
Moreover, now, even the instructor is not necessarily Long Yi’s match anymore.
The only weak point of Long Yi now is aerial combat. Long Yi excels in any other training but has a zero in aerial combat. But after all, aerial combat is only an elective course before the sixth grade; students can choose not to study it, so one can’t be too demanding.
So, am I going to do the same as the previous three instructors, letting Long Yi freely choose his activities?
Even though it seemed to be the most effective method, the instructor still couldn’t feel satisfied.
Just then, Ai Lin stood up.
"Instructor!" Ai Lin called out loud.
"What is it!"
"Instructor, since it’s boring, I wish to have a competition with all of the fourth-grade Dragon Knights!" said Ai Lin.
Long Yi was surprised at Ai Lin’s decision, but after seeing the look in Ai Lin’s eyes, he couldn’t help but laugh. These were supposed to be his lines, but Ai Lin had said them first.
Scanning Ai Lin, the instructor had heard of her, the granddaughter of the Iron Blood General, who had entered the school as a wasted talent but had somehow suddenly transformed into a young Magic Fighter.
"You? Can you handle it?" The instructor looked at Ai Lin’s tiny frame, not very believing, especially considering Ai Lin’s outfit. It was overly sexy and not very defensive.
"I can’t speak for anyone else, but against these guys, it’s more than enough!" Ai Lin tried to mimic Long Yi’s tone. Of course, she knew she wasn’t allowed to use any vulgar words.
However, when those words came out of the mouth of an apparent fragile little girl, they were instantly filled with mockery.
Some dissatisfaction started to murmur in the crowd, but no one said anything. After all, these words were spoken by a beautiful girl. If it had been Long Yi, they would have cursed him out by now.
No, the crowd had already started cursing.
"Shameless Long Yi! You’re letting a girl fight for you!"
"Long Yi! You’ve lost face all the way to your grandmother’s house! Do you have no decency left?"
"Our boss doesn’t allow us to fight you, so you get a girl to fight! That’s low!"
"You’re simply a bastard!"
The crowd decisively found the right object to vent their frustration. They couldn’t possibly curse Ai Lin, while Long Yi was right there in front of them like a punching bag, and it wouldn’t feel good not to curse him.
"Instructor, do you have any other questions?" Ai Lin asked with a smile.
"You ten! Come and have a friendly competition with Ai Lin! Be careful not to overdo it!"
The instructor was speechless but couldn’t reasonably refuse, so he decided to select ten participants. The ten students chosen were brimming with excitement. After all, Ai Lin’s pure and sexy image was extremely attractive to them.
However, the next moment, the instructor’s eyes widened in surprise.
Ai Lin was a she-devil!
Ai Lin’s movements were too fast to guard against. Her attacks were interspersed with explosive spells. Within a blink of an eye, only one of the ten remained standing, clutching his stomach in pain and totally out of fighting spirit.
"Instructor, you might as well let them all come at me at once. After all, I do have 18 tiers of mana." Ai Lin said.
Eighteen tiers of Mana!
The moment these words were spoken, the entire training ground was silent.
This level was already overwhelming for a fourth-year student. In the Dragon Knight Academy, seven-year students were considered eligible for military service, and the threshold for enlistment was a single Dragon Mark. Ai Lin being at tier 18, only being two tiers away from a Dragon Mark, indicated extreme strength. There was no fourth-year student who could match her! Even Kast, the strongest in the fourth year, had only thirteen tiers of Fighting Aura. How could he win?
The instructor finally realized that he had underestimated this delicate-looking little girl.
"Everyone listen up! The target is Ai Lin! Show me some courage! I just taught you how to face a powerful opponent’s siege. If you can’t win today, don’t even think about having dinner! You all will stay in the training ground until midnight!" The instructor roared, and the training ground shook.
Ai Lin gave a smug grin, her fists forming into an Armguard with the Crystal Core. This time, she was going to get serious!
Long Yi, sitting on the ground, was smiling from the beginning till the end. This was the first time Ai Lin had provoked a fight. Regardless of winning or losing, Long Yi would not interfere. He trusted Ai Lin, believing that she would leave the battlefield in glory!
On the other hand.
Kast seriously did hide! Ever since Long Yi defeated the Golden Brothers, Kast had been feeling uneasy. As the top student in the fourth-year, he was not stupid and had collected a lot of information about Long Yi. His conclusion was simple: Don’t mess with Long Yi.
That giant bastard was powerful and incredibly hard to deal with. Everyone who had ever provoked him ended badly. The worst-case scenarios being the third Crown Prince, who had been sidelined by the royal family, and Joseph of the Hagrid family, who was still in prison.
Kast spent restless nights due to being targeted by such a daunting figure. Over the past month, his training and academic performance had drastically declined. The instructors and tutors were all puzzled. What had happened to Kast, whom they had pinned so many hopes on?
Then, one day, he learned that Long Yi was going to take a temporary exam. He asked for leave in the morning and skipped the afternoon training. That afternoon, Long Yi appeared.
When the instructor’s men came looking for him, Kast wished he could beat the hell out of that bastard. Why did he find me so soon? Couldn’t he just take a stroll outside and pretend he couldn’t find me? What should I do after being found by him?
After hesitating for a while, Kast made up his mind. Whether it was good luck or bad luck, he couldn’t avoid it. Come what may!
When he returned to the training ground with a deathly pale face, Ai Lin was radiantly glowing amidst the battlefield littered with wailing students.
This was the glow of advancing!
Nineteen Tiers of Mana!
Ai Lin, panting slightly, looked at her hands with joy.
She was one step away from a Dragon Mark!
This battle was not an easy victory for Ai Lin. There were several times when these students almost drove her into a corner!
But, they had only almost managed to.
Who was Ai Lin’s combat instructor?
Long Yi!
What kind of siege had Long Yi not encountered before? These were experiences summed up from life-and-death situations! No forced mistakes could shake Ai Lin’s determination. This time, she was going to win!
No matter the pain, Ai Lin gritted her teeth and persevered.
And in return, she achieved a glorious victory, along with 19th tier of Mana!
What the hell! Where is justice? Where is righteousness?
When I advanced to the 19th tier, as a sacrifice, I had to endure three months of torment in that terrifying space! Only barely did I preserve my one-tier advantage over Ai Lin for merely a month, and she has already advanced again!
Long Yi felt like crying but didn’t. At this rate, Ai Lin might surpass him and reach a Dragon Mark before he could!
Where’s the dignity of a man?
Actually, as a Magic Fighter, Ai Lin was naturally a combination of a Mage and a Fighter. She could benefit both from researching spells and from combat. As a natural talent in magic with a Half-Dragon Body, Ai Lin had an intrinsic affinity for spells. For combat skills, she had Long Yi, an unstoppable opponent, to spar with. It was not surprising for her advancement speed to increase rapidly.
Ai Lin looked at Long Yi with expectation in her eyes, and Long Yi responded by giving her a thumbs up. Seeing Long Yi’s gesture, joy bloomed in Ai Lin’s heart. However, she still maintained her politeness, bowed and thanked the distressed students around her before returning to Long Yi’s side.
"Awesome!" Long Yi said.
"Hehe—" Ai Lin shyly lowered her blushing head. Even though she was looking forward to Long Yi’s praise, she was still a bit shy. The intense battle left Ai Lin somewhat exhausted, but Long Yi’s praise seemed to have re-energized her. (This is the end of this part.
