Chapter 813: Chapter 813: Without Madness, There Is No Survival
The old lady looked up and thought for a while, and finally sighed, saying, "It’s been too long, I can’t even remember my own name, everyone here calls me Grandma Mad."
"Grandma Wind?" Qin Sisi continued to ask, "Is it the wind of Wind Attribute Magic?"
"Heh..." Grandma Mad gave a cold laugh and replied, "How would I know about any ’magic’? It’s because they think I’m out of my mind, that’s why they call me Grandma Mad."
So it was that "mad", Qin Sisi momentarily did not know how to continue, feeling that the title seemed too impolite.
Seeing Qin Sisi’s awkward expression, Grandma Mad chuckled and said, "There is a common saying, ’Without madness, one cannot survive.’ In this world, who isn’t mad about something or driven to insanity for something? Girl, haven’t you ever been madly obsessed about anything?"
Qin Sisi was stunned again, yes, she must have been madly obsessed, for Ye You.
"Sigh... ’Without madness, one cannot survive’..." Grandma Mad muttered to herself, shaking her head as she slowly walked away from Qin Sisi’s table.
Qin Sisi had not yet recovered from Grandma Mad’s words when she heard Ya Ling’s indignant voice, "Hey, old lady, why is it that she has an Illusory Colored Dream Pigeon to eat while no one else does? I want to eat it too, I can pay for it."
Grandma Mad responded calmly, "There aren’t any left, I only caught one yesterday."
"You..." Ya Ling was so furious she clenched her teeth, but she didn’t dare to lash out at Grandma Mad, only mustering the courage to complain, "Grandma Mad, this is so unfair. Everyone pays the same money, how can you give different food to eat?"
Grandma Mad looked at Ya Ling coldly and said, "This is my canteen, I make the rules."
Ya Ling was at her limit of endurance, her chest heaving dramatically with anger. She pointed her finger at Grandma Mad several times, and said furiously, "I’m going to tell the teachers, tell Master Yipiao, to have you fired, to kick you out of Heavenly Magic God’s Castle!"
Ya Ling’s voice got louder and louder, once again drawing the attention of everyone in the canteen.
"Please do." Grandma Mad didn’t even lift her eyelids, hunching her back and slowly walking into the inner room of the canteen, disappearing from everyone’s sight.
Ya Ling, feeling incredibly angry yet helpless, could only glare hatefully at Qin Sisi. That fierce gaze seemed as though she wanted to tear her to pieces.
Qin Sisi glanced at her indifferently, calmly sat down in her seat, and began to share the Illusory Colored Dream Pigeon with Xiao Meng.
Ya Ling had already been punished with double the task load for a month; anyone with a bit of intelligence would avoid causing further trouble.
Fortunately, recalling the two large rocks she had split the day before, Ya Ling managed to suppress her anger, forcing herself to sit down and gnaw on the flavorless food.
"Mmm, delicious, so delicious! I have never eaten such a tasty pigeon before."
Xiao Meng glanced at Ya Ling while using an exaggerated expression and words to describe the deliciousness of the Illusory Colored Dream Pigeon, angering Ya Ling to the point of having a lump of air stuck in her chest, unable to go up or down.
With a faint smile at the corner of her lips, Qin Sisi cleaned up her plate of golden rice cakes, porridge, vegetables, and the Illusory Colored Dream Pigeon.
Feeling content and satisfied, she let out a sigh of relief, feeling a lot more spirited, and her mood improved greatly.
However, Ya Ling’s mood was very bad, and even after they had finished eating and arrived at the magic teacher of Tianmu Mountain, the pent-up air in her heart had not settled down.
Wood Attribute Magic teacher Ru Lin, wearing a dark green long dress, walked into the classroom. Her slender figure and the gentle smile on her face made her seem approachable and friendly.
Ru Lin’s gaze swept over the faces of the nine freshmen once, her eyes lingering with deeper meaning when she saw Qin Sisi.
After looking over the nine new students, Ru Lin spoke in a gentle tone, "I believe you all already know that Wood Attribute Magic has very strong healing abilities. Mastering the Healing Skills of Wood Attribute Magic allows you to heal yourself in time during practice, quickly recovering your physical state. It’s a very important magic skill. ’Grass Shines Sunshine’, you’ve all learned it, haven’t you?"
"We’ve learned it," the nine people replied in unison. Everyone knew about the powerful healing strength of Wood Attribute Magic, so ’Grass Shines Sunshine’ was the first choice when learning Healing Skills.
Ru Lin nodded satisfactorily and continued, "Very well, then we’ll skip the learning part and go straight to the practical exercises."
After saying this, Ru Lin raised her hands and clapped three times.
The door to the classroom was opened, and several work staff from Heaven Academy who did odd jobs pushed in more than a dozen identical Demonic Beasts. The Demonic Beasts were bound on small trolleys, squinting their little eyes and squeaking noisily, instantly stirring up the classroom.
Qin Sisi was not very familiar with Demonic Beasts yet, only feeling that the one in front of her looked a bit like a pig, to be exact, a wild boar.
Ru Lin began to introduce the content of the practical exercise: "Yesterday, you should have already learned a very powerful skill, ’Vigor Gold Knife’. Use the skill you’ve just learned to injure a leg of the iron mane boar, and then heal it with ’Grass Shines Sunshine’. The injury must be deep enough to see the bone. Once meeting the requirement and after my confirmation, you may start healing."
Those who knew about iron mane boars couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
Unaware of the difficulty, Qin Sisi whispered to Xiao Meng beside her, "Is it tough?"
Xiao Meng grimaced and replied, "Iron mane boars, their whole body is covered with mane as hard as iron, very difficult to chop."
"It couldn’t be harder than stone, right?" Qin Sisi didn’t believe that the iron mane boar would be harder to chop.
Xiao Meng shook her head slightly and said, "Stones are dead, while boars are alive. Moreover, one should be more careful when chopping the flesh after the skin and fur, lest you accidentally sever the leg completely, which would be beyond help."
Qin Sisi understood Teacher Ru Lin’s meaning; in addition to strengthening the practice of Healing Skills, it was important also to try mastering the force of ’Vigor Gold Knife’.
Ru Lin’s gaze swept over Qin Sisi and she spoke loudly, "According to Teacher Yusha’s requirements, Qin Sisi, Ya Ling, and Xiao Meng, your first month tasks are doubled. Therefore, you must injure two iron mane boars each and then heal them."
After the hard and lonely night yesterday, Qin Sisi had already come to terms with the matter and simply nodded calmly.
Xiao Meng helplessly curled his lip while Ya Ling, who had just started to calm down, felt her anger surging again in her chest.
Better than yesterday, they received sympathetic looks from a few male students.
"Let’s start, students of Heaven Academy, show me your strength!" Ru Lin said in a clear voice.
The refreshing voice stirred up the pride in many people’s hearts, and they all approached the iron mane boars to chop their legs with the ’Vigor Gold Knife’ they had just learned yesterday.
The pain-stricken iron mane boars wailed even louder, making the magic classroom sound like a pig slaughterhouse with the heart-wrenching cries echoing incessantly in everyone’s ears.
