Chapter 66 The Irritable Fire-Type Guys
Chapter 66 The Irritable Fire-Type Guys
"How did you know I was going?" Mu Qianjin asked, somewhat puzzled. She was annoyed that she had been silenced before she could say anything.
"I don't know if you want to go, I'm just letting you know I won't be taking you."
I've never been to the Helan Mountains.
Su Ming nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. And then?"
"Then I'll go first," Mu Qianjin said angrily. "It's not that I'm not strong enough. I've been stuck in the wind element for a long time. I just happen to want to break through, and this might be my chance."
"Oh, go see if there's anywhere else we can go. Helan Mountain is such a godforsaken place, it's too dirty and not suitable for girls. I'm leaving now, talk to you next time."
Su Ming laughed for a couple of minutes and then ran off.
It's best to spend less time with Mu Qianjin. That guy Mu Qiannian might be watching from somewhere. Taking Mu Qianjin out of the ancient capital is much more dangerous than letting her wander around in the demon territory.
He would never do something so stupid.
We should think about how to recruit more members.
Su Ming left immediately, which made Mu Qianjin stomp her feet in anger. She also wanted to go to Helan Mountain, not because she had a special fondness for it, but because her older brother had been keeping her confined to the ancient capital for the past few months, not even letting her see the dead, which had made her very bored.
Now that her brother has finally managed to go out on a mission, she's free. Not satisfied with just looking for the undead, Mu Qianjin has always wanted to leave the ancient capital and see more of the world.
When I was a kid, I didn't care about my older brother making things for me, but now that I'm older, I have my own ideas.
Somewhat rebellious?
Mu Qianjin took her brother's words seriously, but she also had her own thoughts.
It just so happens that Su Ming is going to Helan Mountain, and she has to go too. She definitely has to go. It's easy to encounter danger if you go alone, so it's better to go with three or five friends.
Mu Qianjin decided to wait for Su Ming near Helan Mountain, so that he wouldn't be able to refuse her even if he wanted to.
I'll ask Su Ming how many people he has later, and then I'll bring a few more over.
Thinking this, Mu Qianjin skipped and hopped to find her best friend.
After shaking off Mu Qianjin, Su Ming arrived at the Fire Department Academy on the main campus.
There were a few students there whose reviews were pretty good, so Su Ming decided to check them out and see if they were willing to join him.
……
"Huh? Helan Mountain? Are you out of your mind? Going to a place like that, are you bored and want to die a few times? What do you know about the horrors of demons and monsters? Don't come to me with this kind of thing. Get lost, you're bad luck."
Hearing this person call him to that godforsaken place, Helan Mountain, for some vague totem beast, Qin Huai was furious. He thought, "I'm perfectly fine staying in the ancient capital, why would I go to that place to suffer? That's just plain stupid."
Only an idiot would go there.
"Is this kid crazy? He doesn't think Helan Mountain is dangerous, but he doesn't even bother to check it out. It's guarded by a special army, and even those fearless hunters rarely go there. He's not even fully grown yet, and he thinks he's some kind of chosen one. He'll be dead before he even knows how he died."
"If I encountered someone like that, I would just curse them out. What's the difference between sending me to Helan Mountain and sending me to my death? It's only because you're a freshman that you'd be able to leave this fire-elemental academy."
This group of people kept hurling insults at Su Ming, which made him somewhat emotional; the fiery temper of fire mages was no joke.
Even asking a simple question gets you a scolding.
"Get out of here, don't stay, it's bad luck." Someone suddenly pushed Su Ming, and Su Ming was caught off guard, so he leaned against the seat behind him to avoid falling to the ground.
The person who pushed him showed no remorse whatsoever and even wanted to push him again.
This made Su Ming unable to tolerate it. He could just say a few words and let it go, since he was the one who took the initiative to ask. It was wrong of him to take it personally and resort to violence.
No matter the situation, Su Ming wouldn't tolerate anyone who took action. He stood up and punched the person who pushed him in the face.
The force was so great that it sent him flying four or five meters, where he lay on the ground howling in pain.
This commotion naturally attracted the attention of others, who simply stood by and watched the spectacle.
"Wow, is this guy a junior from elementary school? He's so handsome."
Some girls' exclamations were immediately refuted by others, who were very disapproving of this kind of momentary behavior. "What's the use of being handsome? These days, it's all about ability. He's just a freshman who dares to come to the Fire Academy on the main campus to cause trouble. He'll be paralyzed when he leaves."
"It's not necessarily true. Maybe they have a true form. There are mid-level mages among the freshmen," the girl retorted.
"hehe."
"What good is that? Don't you know where you are? Which of those people is a good guy? Qin Huai is a star student ranked in the top five in the Fire Department. What does it mean to be ranked in the top five in the Fire Department? This is the number one department in the ancient capital academy. This freshman is doomed."
"Good lad!" Qin Huai exclaimed, looking at the person who had been beaten.
He slowly stood up, his eyes fierce, gritting his teeth: "Have you fucking thought this way about dying?"
"Hehe, it's okay if you haven't thought it through yet, I'll think it through for you."
"Sizzle..."
The man roared, preparing to unleash his magic.
"Qin Huai, this is a classroom. Casting magic here will be punished and criticized. If you have something to say, go outside." A voice made Qin Huai stop casting magic.
He clicked his tongue, looking at Su Ming with displeasure, and said arrogantly, "Kid, come out here. Today I'll teach you a lesson and show you why flowers are so red!"
Go out? I'll give you an answer.
Su Ming didn't reply. Just as Qin Huai turned to leave the classroom, Su Ming darted behind him and swept him to the ground.
thump...
The head hit the ground first, making a crisp sound. Everyone else felt a pain in the back of their heads and couldn't help but rub them.
Su Ming kicked him in the stomach and shouted.
"Get out! Do you think I'm stupid? I'll kill you right here in the classroom today!"
After saying that, he kicked her again.
"Serves you right for showing off."
Su Ming punched him several times.
"I was just asking if you guys wanted to go, what are you pretending for? Do you think you're so great just because you're a senior student?!"
Su Ming beat Qin Huai until he went from cursing angrily to begging for mercy, and only then did he stop making a sound.
As for the others, they just watched, and no one offered to help.
"Phew." Su Ming exhaled a breath of stale air, looked at the others, and said, "You all saw it, he attacked first, I was just forced to defend myself."
The others looked at Su Ming, who was unharmed except for a little blood on his hands, which wasn't even his.
Looking at Qin Huai lying on the ground, barely alive, he thought to himself that this person was truly ruthless.
This wasn't done with magic; they were beaten down by a mage with their bare hands. They had never encountered anything like this since becoming mages.
Logically speaking, Qin Huai, as a mid-level mage, should only be hit by ordinary punches, and he should have no problem condensing a low-level fire spell while being hit.
Even after being beaten up like this, Qin Huai wouldn't give up fighting back just because magic couldn't be used in the classroom.
What they didn't know was that Su Ming's eyes were flashing with a silver light when he was hitting people. That kind of light only appears when spatial magic is used, and because Su Ming had his back to them, they couldn't see it.
It was precisely because of the spatial magic in his hands that he was able to beat Qin Huai into being unable to use magic.
