Firefly Journey

In the chilly autumn wind, the dutiful squad leader led Lin Yuanran to the training ground.

The so-called training ground is actually also a place for classes.

Different professions have different environmental classifications.

For example, "Fire Mage" is an extraordinary being whose abilities are all related to fire. If there is fire element in the surrounding environment, their abilities will be significantly enhanced.

Similarly, the same applies to other elemental mages.

"Fate Mage" and "Support Mage" do not require a specific location because their magic is more profound, involving the spiritual level. It cannot be strengthened by external forces alone; they can only gradually improve through their own arduous cultivation.

“You are a ‘Fire Mage,’ so I specially brought you to this lava training ground. Now try to activate the Oracle and see if its power is the same as what you usually use,” Sabrina said. She was very interested in seeing how capable this new student her teacher had found was.

"Ok."

Lin Yuanran answered and glanced around. It was only the first day of school, yet many students were already practicing here, truly diligent. What he didn't know was that the academy didn't close during the holidays. In fact, St. Louis Academy had a very good atmosphere, with students constantly striving to improve.

Only Lin Yuanran's Class 29 was full of geniuses. Some were lazy, some were rebellious, and there was no competitive atmosphere at all.

As Lin Yuanran activated his magic power, he immediately felt completely different. The flames on his fingers, which looked no different from usual, were surging with boundless energy. Lin Yuanran clearly sensed that if he were to throw the fireball, its power would be at least three or four times greater than before!

This is truly a wonderful place for spiritual practice.

Lin Yuanran didn't throw it out, but extinguished the flames, and then couldn't wait to unleash the Great Flame Dragon.

A dragon formed from red magic coiled between Lin Yuanran's arms, ferocious and violent.

“Throw it at me,” Sabrina said.

Lin Yuanran hesitated for a moment. The power of the enhanced Great Flame Dragon should not be underestimated. It could at least melt a large crater in the ground. Does the class monitor have any questions?

He soon realized he was overthinking things; the other side had all his information and wouldn't fight a battle they weren't sure of winning.

So Lin Yuanran went all out and pushed the Great Flame Dragon toward the girl.

"Be careful."

"Well come."

Sabrina said approvingly. The raging fire wave rushing towards her from directly in front of her made her very excited. Sure enough, a teacher is a teacher, and her judgment is never wrong.

It's quite remarkable that Ario has mastered the Oracle to this level without any systematic training, relying solely on a few pointers.

The fiery dragon was about to devour the elegantly dressed girl when its head suddenly fell into a blue vortex, followed by its entire body.

Sabrina bent her palms and made a strange gesture, creating a blue vortex that absorbed all of Lin Yuanran's attacks.

The Great Flame Dragon, which was at least four times stronger, was neutralized... "Truly worthy of being the class monitor," Lin Yuanran exclaimed.

Sabrina withdrew her hands and said, "Not bad, my 'Whirlpool Mirror' could only barely block it, proving that you have already trained the Great Flame Dragon to its limit."

Oracle. Vortex Mirror? Blue magic power... She is a "water mage," Lin Yuanran answered in his heart.

Lin Yuanran smiled wryly, "The fire-attribute magic power here is abundant, which is my home ground. Even so, I still can't break your divine decree, class monitor. I still need to improve."

Sabrina smiled slightly: "There's no need to belittle yourself. Time will carry you forward quickly. Right now, you've only awakened the Fire Mage path, so I won't take you to the other training grounds. If you need to go in the future, you can go there on your own. By then, you'll probably be familiar with every corner of the academy."

Lin Yuanran nodded, indicating that he understood.

Sabrina continued, "Let's go to the library first. There are all sorts of methods for casting oracles there, but the more powerful ones require points to obtain. By the way, let's get to know your roommate."

"Points? What are those?" Lin Yuanran asked, more interested in the new term in the class monitor's words than his strange roommate.

Sabrina explained, "You can think of points as the currency within the academy."

"Simply put, each student will receive a points card, starting with zero points, which can be earned by completing tasks issued by the academy, and can also be given to each other."

Points can be used to redeem daily necessities, as well as some rare divine scrolls or magical artifacts.

Lin Yuanran roughly understood that a kind of "money" circulating among students was a benefit for ordinary students, allowing them to survive well in the academy regardless of their family background.

The library is a standalone building, still with a dome and double doors.

The main door is never locked, and there is a sign in Pema script that says "Please be quiet." The interior space is huge, with rows and rows of bookshelves standing tall and close together.

The two ventured into a jungle of books, and after a few turns, Lin Yuanran became disoriented. With bookshelves all around, he had no idea where he was.

"Where is that strange person?" Lin Yuanran asked.

“The school library is open year-round and doesn’t need any supervision except for the core area. Mr. Blair usually does some editing work, so he’s probably buried somewhere next to a bookshelf right now,” Sabrina replied. “Let’s look for him slowly. If we can’t find him, we’ll go back first.”

Ji Linyuan nodded; that was the only way for now.

After taking two steps, Lin Yuanran suddenly stopped, and then saw a scene that sent chills down his spine.

The bookshelf in front of him was double-accessible, and just as he passed by, a withered hand reached out and took a book from it.

It wasn't a real hand, but a hand bone without skin or flesh covering it, segment by segment, making for an extremely bizarre sight.

Lin Yuanran wanted to ask Sabrina what was going on when a pair of eerie lights shone from the empty space where the books had been pulled out. Lin Yuanran instinctively stepped back and bumped into the bookshelf behind him.

"Rash and unruly, a freshman?"

An aged voice came from the other side.

“He has never seen you, Mr. Blair,” Sabrina said from the side.

Mr. Blair? Even if you're the administrator, you can't dress up as a ghost in broad daylight! It's terrifying, you know?

Lin Yuanran said dejectedly, "Sorry, I'm a coward."

A gentle breeze swept by, and Blair, completely shrouded in black robes, was instantly beside the two.

He curled up completely inside his robe, wearing a hood, his head bowed and buried in the shadows, his face completely hidden.

Lin Yuanran didn't want to see it either; the hands were all bones, and the head was definitely a skull. Looking at it too much would give him nightmares at night.

“There are no rooms left in the boys’ dormitory in our class, and the dormitory manager wants to arrange for him to live with you,” Sabrina said.

"No problem, I don't usually stay there." The undead Blair was nonchalant, not taking the matter seriously.

"Thank you," Lin Yuanran said politely.

“Hmm, is there anything you need? If not, go outside. The library isn’t a place for idle chatter,” Blair said.

"Let's go now." Sabrina pushed Lin Yuanran.

Once outside the library, Lin Yuanran remarked, "He really is a weirdo!"

Sabrina said, "Don't worry, you won't see him more than a few times during the time you're studying until you graduate."

"That's good." Living with a skeleton with a weird personality just makes me uncomfortable.

"It's still early, you can go back and pack your things first. I'll come with Fengling to help you move them later. Also, there's a welcome party in the school auditorium tonight, let's go together, everyone in our class will be attending."

"Okay..." Lin Yuanran felt grateful, not expecting that his affairs had already been arranged.

"See you later."
