Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 64: The Training of a Junior

"Brother Luo, where are Boss Zhankong and the others?"

Li Yu asked questions to the familiar military magician figure in front of him.

Until Luo Yunbo's appearance today, Li Yu suddenly realized a problem. It seemed that he had not been in contact with Boss Zhan Kong for some time, and the other party's arrival also seemed to foreshadow some problems.

Luo Yunbo also heard about the commotion Li Yu caused in the examination room. He admired this young man who was much younger than himself but much stronger. He lamented that the Military Control Commission had not made a mistake in choosing him and had not forgotten his mission this time.

"Xiao Yu, the Military Control Commission is carrying out a secret mission and cannot contact you for the time being."

"Also, this is what the Military Control Commission asked me to give you, as well as this letter."

letter?
Li Yu knew that Zhan Kong never had such a traditional habit of writing letters.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Luo."

"What are you thanking me for? You call me brother after all. There's nothing to thank me for for such a small thing."

Luo Yunbo laughed and said goodbye. The Xuefeng Mountain Post Station was even busier now, so he couldn't leave for too long.

After returning home, Li Yu did not open the box that was restricted, but took the lead in opening the envelope and reading it.

The content of the letter was not long, and the flying and phoenix-dancing handwriting was very unrestrained and uninhibited.

"Boy, my boss has some tasks that require me to go out into the wild. It will probably take a while. Don't worry if you can't get in touch with me. I'm not that strong, but it's easy for me to run.

Also, as agreed upon originally, I am giving it to you one year late. This thing is pretty good and it took me quite some time.

I hope that when we meet next time, you will be stronger than me as the boss.

Also, that beautiful girl named Mingzhu whom you took the initiative to tell me about last time, I’m waiting for her to call me big brother.

Finally, be careful with yourself.”

"Huh."

After refolding the letter and putting it away, Li Yu smiled. His boss was still so frivolous. What pretty girl from Mingzhu Academy? Did he have that intention? He just wanted to establish a good relationship with the senior sister in advance.

Afterwards, Li Yu opened the restricted box, and the force of the wind blowing in his face made him instantly sober.

The flowing green wind was like scattered drizzle, and when it hit the face it felt like being strangled by a thin wire, messy and sharp. The name of this spirit seed was engraved on the box: Fenglan.

……

Pearl Academy, main campus.

Ding Yumian is facing the nagging questions from her best friend.
"Yumian, why hasn't that junior come to see you during this period of time?"

"It can't be that you never gave him a chance, so he gave up out of despair, right?"

Huang Xingli's eyes were full of teasing, and what she said made Ding Yumian hold his forehead with his hand.

"You!"

Reluctantly, he tapped Huang Xingli's forehead.

"I've said it so many times. He and I are just communicating and learning from each other. It's not as complicated as you think."

"Communicate? Study?"

After Huang Xingli's appraisal, it was obviously fake at first glance.

"There are so many brothers and sisters in our Fire Academy, why don't I see you communicating and learning with them?"

Unexpectedly, Ding Yumian rolled her eyes at Huang Xingli.
"Tell me, which of our Fire Academy brothers and sisters often come to the library?"

"Can they explain the operating principle of the Wind and Thunder Circulation Array? Do they know the differences and common features between the Earth Demon Wolf and the Mountain Demon Wolf? Do they know the specific relationship between the characteristics of the spirit species and the environment in which they were born?"

"This one……"

If it was other things, Huang Xingli could still talk to her bestie, but she had nothing to say about these. As for visiting the library, Pearl Academy was a famous university after all, and students from the main campus would come here from time to time, but most of them came to look up information.

Many people are already working hard on meditation, practicing magic, and earning resources on a daily basis. How can they have so much free time to go to the library and read books?
For the vast majority of students, just remembering what the instructor taught in class is enough to deal with more than 80% of the problems.

Ding Yumian is the only one in Mingzhu who has a calm personality, likes quietness, and spends his time in the library.

Three consecutive questions, spanning the three areas of magic circles, demon habits, and the birth of spirit species. Who else can answer these questions if they are not old bookworms in the library?
It was not until then that Huang Xingli began to admire the junior brother whom she occasionally saw sitting and chatting with Ding Yumian. He was able to keep up with her bestie's thinking and knowledge. No wonder Yumian became a friend who could joke with him in less than half a year.

Even if the real purpose is not to drink, and they are secretly doing it under the banner of exchange and learning, no one can do it to this extent.

Huang Xingli even wanted to look at the superficial men in the main campus with contempt, look at them, look at you!

You’re not even willing to come to the library more often, and don’t try to find ways to create common topics. How dare you say you won’t marry anyone but your best friend?
It would be fine if it was really for the purpose of improving their strength, but one by one they were pinned to the ground and beaten by their best friends who had just entered the main campus, and all that time spent on training was wasted.

She has no ability and doesn't know how to please others. She deserves the unrequited love of those males in the main campus who are jealous of her best friend.

Ding Yumian naturally had no idea that her best friend was making up stories about the relationship between her and her junior in her mind, otherwise she would have sighed helplessly again.

At first, Ding Yumian just felt that the junior who was looking at him absentmindedly was a little strange. However, as they met every few days, their communication became more and more frequent, from not interfering with each other to being just nodding acquaintances, and then just exchanging a few words.

From the very beginning, the other party had her hands full of manuscripts of magic circle calculations, and she was studying alone with a stern look on her face. Then, with an unnatural expression, she came over and asked, as a senior student, to give a little help to her junior student.

After getting to know each other a little, the other party asked him to recommend books in various fields. Although Ding Yumian did not have much confidence in the former, he still recommended several books in a serious and responsible manner.

To her surprise, this junior actually read the books one by one according to her suggestions.

She also confirmed in the unintentional test that the other party was not pretending, but really learned it. This made Ding Yumian, who was guiding a junior for the first time, feel quite accomplished.

Until a month or two ago, the other party was able to communicate with me in certain areas, rather than just accepting guidance unilaterally.

In half a year, Ding Yumian witnessed the detailed process of this junior fellow's growth from complete ignorance to extensive knowledge. Whenever he thought of the active role he played in it, he felt an indescribable sense of relief in his heart.

Could it be...

Is this the legendary cultivation?
Thinking of this, Ding Yumian suddenly felt ashamed. When did she get infected by her best friend?

"Yumian, what are you thinking about?"

Huang Xingli's questioning voice woke Ding Yumian up, but the latter just shook his head lightly, with little expression on his calm and indifferent face.

"nothing."

However, Huang Xingli still did not give up the idea and asked:

"Yu Mian, seriously, could it be that that junior fellow is really so discouraged that he doesn't want to come anymore?"

Huang Xingli still likes watching the younger brother interact with her sisters. Although they don’t meet often, he looks like a well-behaved boy, which makes her like him very much.

Who knows, her sister might get together with him in the future, and she can take out the photos in her phone and reminisce about the past with her good sister, and maybe she can threaten him with a couple of meals.

"I told you, there's really nothing between us."

Ding Yumian weakly reiterated it again, but she knew in her heart that her best friend would not give up this great opportunity to gossip, and then said:

"My junior needs to go back to take the college entrance examination, so he is not in Shanghai during this period."

Huang Xingli widened her eyes.

"College entrance exam?"

"He's still a high school student?!"

Ding Yumian never mentioned it and usually just addressed him as his junior. Huang Xingli only thought that he was a student from the Qing campus. Who would have thought that he was actually a high school kid who wasn't even a student of the academy?

My best friend is a little young to develop this habit!
