Chapter 42 Magic Academy
Seeing the shocked and confused faces of the new students below, Lulu couldn't help but chuckle. She flapped her wings reassuringly, "Don't worry, everyone. Thanks to the improvements made by the Magic Academy, alchemy is much simpler now. Go ahead and try it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little Locke players in front of the alchemy platform sprang into action.
Everyone raised their hands to summon their star charts. Pale white starlight flowed, and a small contract mark slowly emerged from the center of the star chart, carefully merging into the half-finished Gulu Ball.
Lin Feng, however, never took out the star chart. He stood quietly next to Mia and watched her operate it.
This unusual scene was instantly noticed by a simply dressed freshman in the crowd.
He thought to himself: This person doesn't look as impressive as he boasts. He's obviously from a noble family, and his family is helping him build up his reputation!
Little Locke squeezed forward two steps, pointed at Lin Feng, and raised his voice, deliberately making sure everyone around could hear: "Hey! Why don't you take out your star chart? Don't tell me... you don't even have a star chart?"
In short, it's like a pebble thrown into boiling water.
The surrounding chatter abruptly ceased, and countless gazes were fixed on Lin Feng, some filled with doubt, some with mockery, and some with curiosity.
Only Locke, who was at the academy's headquarters at the time, knew how strong Lin Feng was, but their words couldn't silence the common Locke's mouths.
Because those who could get to the shopping street in advance all had some money at home, they believed that these people were conspiring to cheat them.
Since we're all Locke, why are you so strong? You're obviously just bragging!
Mia's face flushed instantly, and she glared at the freshman: "What nonsense are you spouting! What right do you, a weak and unambitious low-level Locke, have to question Lin Feng?"
She said angrily, "Furthermore, Lin Feng's DuckGigi can undergo leader evolution. Without a star chart, it can't use the power of evolution. You... ignorant low-level Locke, you should stay underground!"
Seeing that Lin Feng did not take out the star chart to prove his innocence, the new student became even more convinced of the fact. His tone became more and more sarcastic, "Then why don't you make him take out the star chart?"
Who doesn't know that the astrological chart is fundamental for a magician? Someone who doesn't even have an astrological chart must have bribed the teacher to get in, right?
He turned to the surrounding new students and loudly incited them, "I think he was able to defeat Teacher Louis not because of his own strength, but entirely because of the elves his family raised for him. It's even more likely that Louis was in cahoots with him!"
"Shut up! You lowly Locke!" Mia trembled with rage, her blonde hair slightly disheveled. "Lin Feng's strength is all due to his own hard work! What gives you the right to say that!"
"I speak with facts!"
The argument between the two escalated, and the whispers and murmurs among the surrounding freshmen grew louder and louder.
"No horoscope? How can I learn magic then...?"
"No wonder he used such strange alchemy just now; it turns out he didn't even have a basic horoscope."
"I knew it! How could someone be so amazing without even going to school? Turns out it's all thanks to their family."
Lin Feng remained standing in place, his expression calm and his eyes unwavering. It was true that his astrological chart was flawed, but it was also true that he could defeat these low-level Locke using only magic, without needing elves.
Just like the male Locke he met at Listening Wind Manor, he wasn't like the saintly protagonist who could tolerate being provoked so openly.
Are you kidding me? If you've learned magic and still get provoked by Locke, then all that magic you've learned was for nothing?
A spark ignited from his fingertips. His face darkened, and he raised his hand, snapping his fingers at the freshman.
"boom!"
Crimson magic runes continued to spread from his fingertips into the air, and fire magic rapidly spiraled, turning into a vortex of flames, as if an invisible hand was stretching the vortex into a flaming spear!
The raging fire ignited along with Lin Feng's emotions. He moved his lips slightly and said, "Fire magic, Flame Spear."
"What?"
"don't want!"
The flaming spear shot out suddenly, drawing a golden line in the air before exploding in front of the new student.
Lulu appeared in front of the little Locke and used a magic shield to block the attack, which naturally blocked the fire spear.
Lulu cried out in terror, "Lin Feng, what are you doing?"
Behind it, little Locke collapsed to the ground, pale-faced and terrified. He screamed, "You...you're going to kill me?"
"uh-huh?"
Lin Feng frowned and was about to snap his fingers again.
"Stop!"
Some of the freshmen were even more anxious than Lin Feng, and they all said in unison, "We can't make a move!"
"You'll get fired!"
"They might even get arrested and imprisoned by the Ministry of Magic!"
Mia sneered from the side, "What, why didn't you say that earlier? Is it acceptable for the weak to provoke the strong? If every low-level Locke questioned Lin Feng, he would have been exhausted long ago!"
Lin Feng lowered his hand, coldly looking down at Little Locke, and narrowed his eyes, saying, "I hope that next time we meet, you'll have the ability to match your mouth."
Little Locke felt a sense of relief at escaping death, and he somewhat regretted stepping forward to be the first to speak out.
Even when Lin Feng used powerful fire magic, he still firmly believed that Lin Feng was a fraud without a star chart.
They still don't take out their birth charts, either because they're ashamed to show them to others, or because they don't have one.
Lulu wiped away a bead of cold sweat. This new student seemed to be a troublemaker. Composing itself, it loudly reassured, "Stop arguing immediately and proceed to the magic anchor point to complete the new student assessment!"
It cleared its throat and reiterated the rules: "Activating the magic anchors of the three attributes—normal, wing, and ghost—will activate the portal of the dilapidated spaceship, and then teleport you to the magic airship."
Most of the freshmen quieted down their chatter, but they still couldn't help but glance at Lin Feng frequently, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
Many new students, who hadn't had enough Gulu Balls to collect all three types of Pokémon, headed towards the ecological park.
Lin Feng released three Gulu Balls (actually Elf Backpacks) from the air: Fugui, Green Winged Bird, and Little Spirit Face.
He was the first to walk to the magic anchor point. The other freshmen, who had also finished their preparations early, were all frightened by Lin Feng's cold and ruthless demeanor and dared not move forward.
Only Mia, in that state, is Lin Feng at his most handsome, okay!
The first magic anchor point is Normal.
"Come out, wealth and honor."
The purple duck Gigi leaped onto the stage, quacking twice. Sensing that the magic anchor in front of it required normal magic, it injected normal magic into it.
"Buzz!"
A light shone, the magic anchor floated up, and it was activated; there was also a normal-type symbol inside.
The first anchor point was successfully activated.
The second is the wing system.
The magic-winged bird spread its wings and swept across the wind-elemental magic anchor, instantly unleashing a pale blue halo.
The third is the Ghostly System.
A dim white light flashed, and Little Spirit appeared, illuminating the last anchor point completely.
Three magical anchor points lit up simultaneously, their light intertwining, and the dilapidated magic airship formed a portal.
Lin Feng walked to the portal and sensed the magical energy emanating from it. "Hmm... this level of portal is still a bit immature."
He turned to Mia and said, "Remember to hurry."
After saying that, he went inside.
"Whoosh!"
A powerful suction force emanated from the portal!
The light distorted, and Lin Feng passed directly through a wooden door. He was thrown out by the residual suction force, staggered for a moment, and then stood up straight inside.
Before your eyes, a huge wooden magic airship slowly appears, its hull engraved with intricate magic patterns, and its deck is so wide that it can accommodate dozens of elves fighting at the same time!
New students from other regions had already boarded the ship early, creating a lively atmosphere.
Many energetic young Rockers had already started Pokémon battles on the deck, but the Pokémon's levels were generally low and their moves were rather rudimentary.
Mr. Louis, dressed in a wizard's robe, strolled slowly across the deck, gently maintaining order. He nodded slightly when he saw Lin Feng.
Mia quickly emerged from the portal and immediately found Lin Feng. Seeing that Lin Feng wasn't interested in Pokémon battles, she suggested they find a room to rest first.
Soon, Lin Feng and Mia found their respective empty rooms on the airship.
The airship sailed smoothly among the clouds from daytime until late at night.
Those freshmen who were unable to gather all the Pokémon in time also successfully completed the assessment with Lulu's help and boarded the airship.
The next morning, the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the airship's portholes.
The airship slowly docked in the harbor in the clouds, and the magical light from its engines gradually subsided.
Lin Feng walked onto the deck, his pupils trembling.
into the eye.
Inside the massive city walls, red walls are interspersed with Gothic buildings with dark gray spires.
The pointed towers pierce the sky, white stone lines outline the building's shape, and arched windows let in a pale blue light, giving it the unique solemnity and retro feel of a magic academy.
The white clouds, like mist, shattered the sunlight that shone in, scattering it evenly across every corner of the tower.
"So beautiful..."
