Chapter 12

The next morning, Li Pu followed the new students and brought Scarecrow to the school’s South Gate.
At this moment, about a thousand freshmen had all arrived at the assembly point.
Under the coordination of a few seniors, the crowd stood in a rather neat formation.
Although Western Capital University had the words “Western Capital” in it, it was still quite a distance away from Western Capital City due to its nature as a Summoner’s school. It couldn’t even be considered a suburb.
Outside the South Gate was a forested mountain with no end in sight.
Moreover, it was early in the morning, so there was a fog filling up the empty spaces between trees, making it hard for one to see anything.
In front of the freshmen, there was a forest passage that was more than 50 meters wide.
The trees on both sides were embedded with unknown glowing crystals, which were very eye-catching.
In particular, the light of this crystal could effectively penetrate the fog and become a tool to guide the way.
At this moment, a red-robed senior with a ponytail walked to the front of the crowd.
On her shoulder squatted a summoned beast that looked like a Porcupine, but unlike a Porcupine, its spikes were pointed forward and its body was golden.
The ponytail senior was expressionless, but her posture faintly revealed some heroic spirit. Coupled with her beautiful appearance and figure, she attracted the attention of most of the freshmen, regardless of whether they were male or female.
For a time, the freshmen were discussing in low voices.
“What a beautiful senior…”
“Ah! Senior seemed to have glanced at me just now!”
“What a bunch of worthless people, you should have taken a closer look at her summoned beast!”
“That’s right, that’s a C+-grade gold needle mouse. Its potential is much higher than our summoned beasts.”
“I heard that this type of summoned beast can immediately rise to B-grade after going through the first transition.”
In addition to the senior’s appearance, some people also paid attention to her summoned beast.
Li Pu didn’t mind either. He was a little sleepy because he had woken up too early.
At this moment, the senior calmly spoke.
“My fellow juniors, Welcome to Western Capital University.”
“Let’s just cut to the chase.”
“I will explain the rules of class selection now.”
It turned out that the course selection competition was not as simple as a race of speed.
Although the race track seemed like it would go on all the way to the end, in fact, there were many forks in the road that needed to be made.
Choosing different branches would result in different obstacles.
It could be a wild magical beast, it could be a special set trap, it could be a detour to get people back to their original point, and it could even be that they would encounter their seniors.
Of course, there would be people secretly protecting the freshmen.
However, once the protection was triggered, it would be equivalent to being eliminated.
The earlier they were eliminated, the lower their class selection order would be.
Waiting at the finishing line were the teachers whose classes were up for selection.
Each teacher had a limited number of available spots in their class. The earlier one arrived, the higher the chance of getting the teacher and course they liked.
“I heard that there are only two teachers teaching [Flash], so the total available slot is 200.”
“I’m not asking for much, just the top 200 will do.”
“I want to learn [Healing].”
“[Golden Slash ] is more impressive.”
After listening to the senior’s introduction, all the new students were eager to participate in the competition.
With the official start of the match, more than half of the freshmen instantly rushed out and disappeared into the forest.
Li Pu wasn’t in a hurry. He limped along with the rest of the group.
He was already very familiar with this kind of forest environment, so he was much calmer than the others.
Moreover, the competition didn’t sound like it was that easy. Those impatient students might have unintentionally helped the rest by rushing to the front and exploring the way early.
[Grass~]
Scarecrow was obviously in a good mood after coming to such an environment. It followed Li Pu and jumped around.
Scarecrow’s unique cry attracted the attention of many people in the surroundings.
“It’s him. He’s the one who took first place for both physical and written examination in our school.”
“It’s a pity that his summoned beast is a straw doll…”
“It seems like he won’t be able to get first place this time.”
“That’s good too. We’ll have one less competitor in the course selection.”
The story of the straw doll’s victory over the Rolling Turtle yesterday had obviously not spread yet, and the whispers of the people around were all expressing that they were not optimistic about the summoned beast.
They admitted that having the title of the top scorer in the written and physical examination was admirable, however, they had to also admit that they had already stepped into the world of summoned beasts.
Summoned beasts were the number one combat power.
A straw doll was obviously not worth mentioning.
Li Pu didn’t care about these opinions.
His Scarecrow was going to become the king of fireballs, which was not something ordinary Summoners could understand.
“Hey, which course are you planning to choose?”
At this moment, someone took the initiative to approach Li Pu.
Li Pu turned his head and saw Wu Guinan, who he had fought in the ring yesterday. Rolling Turtle was following behind him.
[Roll!]
[Rolling Turtle: Morning, Scarecrow!]
[Grass?]
Scarecrow: Morning. Do you have money?]
[Roll?]
[Rolling Turtle: I’m greeting you, and yet you’re robbing me?]
Before the two summoners started talking, the summoned beasts of both sides greeted each other.
“Actually, I have a question that I’ve been meaning to ask you.”
Wu Guinan suddenly came closer. He seemed to be a natural socializer.
“?”
Li Pu was confused.
“Your leg…”
“I was born with it,” Li Pu said.
Wu Guinan replied, “No, I want to ask if your legs can get bonus points for the college entrance examination?”
Li Pu was speechless.
“It should be [Flash], it’s the most practical.”
Li Pu ignored the conversation and jumped back to the original question.
“Indeed, everyone wants to choose [Flash].”
Wu Guinan nodded, looked around, and then lowered his voice, “I’ve heard some news. I’ll share it with you.”
“In our batch, there are two teachers who are teaching [Flash].”
“A male and a female. If you have the chance, you must choose that female teacher.”
“Because she’s the Dean of the wisdom faculty. She’s very powerful.”
“The other one is just an ordinary Wind Chaser teacher. It’s not that he’s bad, but he’s definitely inferior in comparison.”
The strength of a teacher could, to a great extent, affect the effectiveness of their teaching.
“It seems that you have done some research in advance.”
Li Pu looked over and raised his eyebrows.
“Of course, you should know that I’m also…”
Wu Guinan stopped mid-sentence and returned back to the topic, “In short, we will have a new teacher in our batch. I don’t know what skills he will teach, but it’s best to avoid him.”
“I heard that the guy came here because he couldn’t survive in the Imperial Capital. I guess he’s not that good.”
Li Pu could tell that Wu Guinan had some status, but he only nodded and didn’t ask further.
As the two of them conversed, they followed the group into the forest path.
However, they didn’t manage to go far before he realized that something was wrong.
There were dozens of new students standing in front of them. They were from the first batch of students who had rushed out.
All of them had a look of worry on their faces as they stopped in their tracks.
“Don’t come over, there are demonic beasts here!”
Seeing that the rear troops were approaching, someone on the other end shouted a warning.
However, it seemed that their warning came a little too late.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…!
The dense sound of friction rose up under everyone’s feet.
“Oh no, this is bad!”
Wu Guinan’s expression changed when he saw this. He pulled Li Pu and wanted to speed up.
However, as soon as he raised his foot, a few green vines quickly wrapped around it.
Then, he was tripped by the inertia.
“It’s a magical beast!”
While exclaiming, Wu Guinan looked at Li Pu and was stunned.
This was because the guy beside him was standing there, perfectly fine, holding two pieces of broken green vine in his hand.
What the f*ck was that?
Tearing a magical beast apart with his bare hands?
…
