Chapter 213 End of Phase 1
Chapter 213 End of Phase 1
"I know you're all confused." Teacher Li pointed toward the door. "That's understandable. After all, this happened so suddenly that even I didn't anticipate it."
Teacher Li paused for a moment, then continued, "After all, you're not from the Fire Element Academy, so I can't tell you the specific reasons. Just treat this as a drill."
"exercise?"
Qi Yu and the others looked at each other, then Qi Yu turned and asked softly, "Then, Teacher Li, how long will this exercise last? What about our training?"
Teacher Li gestured to calm down and said, "This exercise will continue until the Trial of Fire begins. As for your training..."
Teacher Li held up a finger and said, "I've been observing your training these past few days, and I have to say you're quite perceptive. I think you've all learned my 'Simplified Chanting'."
Except for Qi Yu who was a little hesitant, everyone else nodded to indicate that they had learned it.
Seeing this, Teacher Li did not doubt him, but just thought that Qi Yu was a little embarrassed. After all, Qi Yu was the slowest one among them to learn "simple chanting".
But it is true that he learned the technique the slowest, but it is also true that he succeeded in learning it. She witnessed with her own eyes that the other party released the second-level Forest Fury through simple chanting. Therefore, she would never think that Qi Yu had not yet learned it.
"You should all feel your improvement in combat, so I won't say much." Teacher Li pointed to the ground.
"So, the first phase of training ends here, and the second phase of training will begin here next."
As soon as Teacher Li finished speaking, Qi Yu received a notification from the system: "Ding! You have completed the first stage of exchange student training. Strength +5, Agility +5, and the skill "Forest Fury" has gained a new mode - Simple Chanting, which can be switched at any time."
The long-lost system prompt sound made him slightly stunned. During this period of time, the system had been silent and he almost forgot that he had such a system.
In fact, he had noticed before that the system in his body was completely different from those he was familiar with.
For Qi Yu, it is purely auxiliary. Whenever he has some experience that improves his strength, it will pop up to remind him. In this case, he is more inclined to quantify Qi Yu's own strength through numbers rather than bring about improvement out of thin air.
Of course, it does provide some help in learning skills and absorbing magic crystals, but compared to those systems that directly cheat for the protagonist, this help is nothing.
Qi Yu opened the character panel and saw that his strength attribute had increased from 30 to 35 points, and his agility had also increased by 5 points to 34.
Looking at the intelligence of only 26 points, Qi Yu suddenly had a feeling that this attribute ratio should not appear on a mage like himself, but more like a warrior.
Just as Qi Yu was thinking, Teacher Li continued, "The second phase of training will continue until the Trial of Fire begins. During this period, you must complete the training content here and are not allowed to leave until the training is completed."
Hearing this, Qi Yu was shocked. He felt that this sounded more like house arrest than concentrated training.
In response to this, he glanced around and found that Zhou Xi and the other person had no change in expression and still looked normal.
Seeing this, Qi Yu hid his surprise, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Teacher Li, what about our usual meals? Should we eat here as well?"
"Someone will deliver the food to you. Do you have any questions?" Teacher Li glanced at Qi Yu, then looked at the other two.
Seeing that the three of them had no problems, Teacher Li nodded slightly and said, "Since there are no problems, let's disband for today. I will tell you the specific training content tomorrow."
After saying that, Teacher Li turned around and pushed the door open, leaving the three of them standing helplessly in the hall.
"What do you think?" Qi Yu looked at the direction where Teacher Li left and asked Zhou Xi and the others.
"Exercise? I don't believe it." Zhao Ran chuckled and shook his head.
"But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. This is the Fire Element Academy's headquarters. What else can we three outsiders do besides obey their orders?"
Qi Yu nodded and looked at Zhou Xi. Seeing Qi Yu's gaze, Zhou Xi said softly, "It's okay."
After saying that, without waiting for the two to react, Zhou Xi took the lead and walked upstairs.
"Okay, Qi Yu, she actually replied to you, which means there's hope. She ignored me when I talked to her before."
Zhao Ran came over, put his hand on Qi Yu's shoulder, and said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, I understand. I will keep it a secret from President Su."
"Don't talk nonsense, we are just chatting normally." Qi Yu glanced at Zhao Ran sideways, then also walked upstairs.

Teacher's Office
At a desk by the window, Teacher Li was looking down at a magic book made of parchment, his eyes jumping back and forth between the lines.
Opposite him, Chen Yanjun, who was wearing the robe of the dean of the Fire Element Academy, was sitting upright in a chair. Seeing that Teacher Li's eyes never left the book, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Hey, teacher, could you please pay attention to me?"
Teacher Li glanced at him and said sarcastically, "Oh, Dean, you are so welcome. I am sorry for not welcoming you, old lady."
Hearing this, Chen Yanjun smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, please don't embarrass me. Even if I am the dean, you are still my teacher."
"I don't dare to accept it." Teacher Li turned the book to the next page and continued, "You've grown wings. My strength is not as good as yours. Now you want to interfere with my teaching."
"How dare I?" Chen Yanjun quickly waved his hand and explained, "It's mainly because this is an emergency. I've received news that there are people from the Moon Worship Sect lurking in the academy, and they are very likely to bring great disaster to the academy in the near future."
Teacher Li closed the book in his hand and looked at Chen Yanjun: "Is your information reliable?"
"Eight or nine out of ten," Chen Yanjun replied seriously.
Teacher Li was silent for a moment before he spoke, "So, you suspect these three exchange students are Moon Worshippers? That's why you forcibly interrupted my training and locked them up?"
"After all, their arrival was too coincidental, and they happened to be outsiders. For the safety of the academy, I had no choice but to resort to this last resort." Chen Yanbing said in a serious tone:
"Teacher, I know this doesn't fit your teaching style and will disgust you. After all, if you hadn't accepted me as your disciple against all odds, I wouldn't be where I am today."
"But," Chen Yanjun changed the subject, "the survival of the academy and your safety are the most important. So, I can only apologize."
Teacher Li frowned as he listened to the other party's words and asked, "I've been with them for almost a month now, and I don't think they're dangerous. Besides, can a few spies from the Moon Worship Sect subvert the entire academy?"
Chen Yanjun shook his head. "Teacher, you're not in a management position, so I can't go into details. How about you take on the role of Vice Dean, and I'll tell you everything?"
"That's fine!" Teacher Li waved his hand quickly. "Forget it. You're in a high position now, and you can see things farther than I can. I'll just do as you plan."
Hearing this, Chen Yanjun's expression relaxed slightly. He was afraid that the other party was stubborn and would not listen to him at all. If he used force, it would be disastrous for both sides.
"But during their exchange, I have to teach them!"
Before Chen Yanjun could relax for long, Teacher Li's voice came again.
Chen Yanjun felt a dull headache: "Teacher...you..."
"I don't care who they are. To me, they are my students. I want to teach them, and no one can stop me." Teacher Li said firmly.
Hearing this, Chen Yanjun immediately recalled his past self. At that time, his father was the vice-president of the Fire Element Academy, and was only one step away from becoming the dean. As the son of the vice-president, he was also placed with high hopes.
But the good times didn't last long. For unknown reasons, my father betrayed the Fire Element Academy. After causing a large-scale chaos, he fled with a large amount of supplies.
As his son, his status plummeted in an instant and he suffered a lot of exclusion. Those who once flattered him also treated him coldly.
In the end, he was even expelled from the Fire Element Academy. He knelt at the gate of the Fire Element Academy for three days and three nights, begging to be allowed to return to the academy, but all he got in return was cold eyes and abuse.
Just when he was completely desperate, Teacher Li appeared in front of him. It was Teacher Li who had spoken in such a decisive tone and accepted his traitorous son against all odds.
It can be said that it was Teacher Li who gave him hope, and he was indeed very hardworking. After going through numerous hardships and obstacles, he finally achieved what he has today.
At this time, he sighed slightly: "Okay, teacher, you can continue to teach them, but I will send an assistant to protect your safety."
"Then it's up to you." Teacher Li waved his hand. "It doesn't matter whether you have an apprentice guard the gate or send someone as an assistant teacher. Just don't disturb my teaching."
"Okay, go back to your work. I want to rest." Teacher Li stood up gently, turned around and looked out the window, then ordered everyone to leave.
Chen Yanjun was slightly stunned by this, then he could only bow and leave the office.
