"Because I like you." Chen Enxuan did not hide her Hyōhime's feelings.
Ji Dong stared blankly for a moment before saying, "You like me? Like a drunkard? "
"I don't care what you are. I like you." Chen Sixuan said stubbornly. For the past month, she had thought about many things. However, she really did not know how to pursue a man. Hence, she chose the most direct method — confessing.
Without a doubt, this was undoubtedly the clumsiest method in the relationship between a man and a woman, and the chances of success were very low. However, if this method was spoken by a perfect and peerless beauty like Chen Sixuan, its lethality was not inferior to a supreme killing move.
"Get out." Ji Dong's voice suddenly turned cold. Like an ice storm, the temperature in the room dropped rapidly.
Chen Sixuan could not believe her ears. He actually scolded me like that? Subconsciously, she still thought of herself as the Flaming Bar.
Ji Dong glanced at her coldly. "I asked you to get out. Didn't you hear me?" As he said that, he waved his right hand. Instantly, an undercurrent seemed to appear in the room. In an instant, it wrapped around Chen Sixuan's body and forcefully pushed her out of the door. The door slammed shut less than an inch in front of Chen Sixuan.
"He actually did this to me?" Chen Sixuan could no longer hold back her tears. With a swoosh, they flowed out of Chen Sixuan's beautiful eyes. Ji Dong did not even want to say another word. He directly threw her out. The strong contrast was extremely difficult for her to accept.
If she was still in the Flaming Bar, she would be very happy to see Ji Dong's palm strike. This was because Ji Dong's palm strike did not release any element. It was completely pure Chaotic Energy. It did not even have the characteristics of creation within Chaotic Energy. It was the purest form of energy. It did not mean that this energy was very powerful. However, being able to use it in such a manner proved that Ji Dong's understanding of Chaotic Energy had reached another level. He was getting closer and closer to being able to truly control Chaotic Energy.
But now, Chen Sixuan couldn't feel happy at all. She had been chased away by him, verbally abused, and directly banished.
After standing outside Ji Dong's door for ten minutes, Chen Sixuan's emotions gradually calmed down. She quickly wiped the tears off her face, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She suddenly understood something. Ji Dong's rejection of her confession could only mean one thing: he loved the Flaming Bar. Even if the beauty in front of her was not inferior to that of the Flaming Bar, it would not change his mind. Why should she be angry? He still loved her!
"Ji Dong, you bastard. You've made me cry again. However, I won't be sad because of your rejection anymore. I'll only be happy."
However, when she thought about how Ji Dong had rejected her just like that, Chen Sixuan couldn't help but frown as she thought about how she could make him fall in love with her in the future. It seemed that the evil god's condition was not that easy to fulfill!
She was really conflicted. On one hand, she hoped that Ji Dong would continue to reject her, but on the other hand, she hoped that he would say those three words as soon as possible so that she could be with him again. With this kind of mood, Chen Sixuan returned to the dormitory.
Although the students of Class 1 didn't complain, it didn't mean that no one knew about Ji Dong's conduct. The news had already spread in the academy. As a teacher, he only had one class a month. Many teachers had already approached Zhu Rong to complain about the problem. As the dean, Zhu Rong also felt the increasing pressure. He couldn't go on like this. Ji Dong's condition didn't seem to be improving. He couldn't let him continue to be like this.
Several days later, the academy suddenly announced that the freshmen would undergo a group trial. Moreover, it would be a trial with rewards. It would be the most important part of the first year's comprehensive assessment.
The announcement was directly posted on the bulletin board outside the entrance of the freshman building. Three days later, the ten teachers of the first year would lead a hundred students to the Southern Fire Empire's famous magic beast habitat, Mt. Almans, to undergo the trial.
The trial's objective: hunt magic beasts on the outskirts of Mt. Almans. Every two classes will form a group. The ranking will be based on the number of magic cores obtained from hunting magic beasts. The teachers of the two classes will supervise each other. Only students can take action, while the teachers will protect them from the side. They are not allowed to directly hunt magic beasts. After the final trial, a summary will be made. The top ten students with the most harvests will be rewarded. The rewards are extremely generous, all of them are different level skill books. The top three rewards even include a magic weapon equipment.
Just from this reward, one could see Blazing Academy's wealth. The Southern Fire Empire's support for Blazing Academy could be said to have spared no effort.
When the announcement came out, it immediately aroused the excitement of the freshmen. Let alone the rewards, being able to personally hunt magic beasts instead of cultivating in the academy was already enough to pique the interest of these youngsters. As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. With a teacher following them, they wouldn't worry about their own safety.
According to usual practice, this kind of group trial should be led by the teacher of the first class of the same age, or by an expert sent by the academy. But this time, an exception was made. The person in charge wasn't the teacher of the first class, Ji Dong, but rather the teacher of the second class, the head of the geng metal department, Xuanyuan Xin.
Regarding this arrangement, Zhu Rong could be said to have taken great pains. He hoped that through the experience outside, he would be able to somewhat ease Ji Dong's mood, but he was also a bit worried, so he gave the task of leading the group to Xuanyuan Xin. At the same time, he personally ordered that the first and third class would be grouped together, which was the class that the head of the second wood department, Tang Yilian, would be in charge of. Of course, it was announced to the public that the grouping would naturally be decided by drawing lots. Grouping the first and third class together was already a great advantage. Regarding this arrangement, Xuanyuan Xin was very dissatisfied. Tang Yilian wasn't only the head of the second wood department, she was also his wife. He was already very dissatisfied that his wife wasn't placed in the same group as him, let alone that drunkard. These were Xuanyuan Xin's original words.
However, to be in charge of all the new students, Xuanyuan Xin was quite satisfied. He secretly decided that this time, no matter what, he would give Ji Dong a show of strength. This drunkard wasn't suitable to be a teacher at all, the position of the teacher of the first class should have been his.
For this trial, Zhu Rong personally went to find Ji Dong. What made Zhu Rong slightly relieved was that although Ji Dong was still drinking, his mental state seemed to have improved a bit. At least his mind was relatively clear, but he still didn't want to come in contact with anything outside.
"Teacher, do I have to go?"
"You have to go, Ji Dong. You should understand how much hope your teacher ancestor, teacher's wife and I have for you. I understand that the death of the Queen of the Flaming Bar was a great blow to you, but you still have to live your life. If you continue to be like this, forget about avenging her, I'm afraid that you will become a cripple yourself."
"Alright, I'll go."
Three days later.
All the new students of the first year of Blazing Academy as well as the ten teachers were ready to go. Altogether one hundred and ten people were waiting on the field for dean Zhu Rong's instructions. Among these one hundred and ten people, there were two who received the most attention. Without a doubt, Touki Saintess, the number one beauty in the world, Chen Sixuan, was one of them.
Hundreds of students had been courting Chen Sixuan over the past month, not just the freshmen, but also some of the more arrogant students. It was said that Touki Saintess had received nearly a thousand love letters. Outside Class One's classroom, there were always bouquets of flowers. However, Chen Sixuan had never opened any of the love letters, nor had she accepted any gifts. She turned a blind eye to all the pursuers. Aside from attending classes, she spent most of her time in the dormitory. Her life was extremely simple, and she didn't even participate in the Southern Fire Empire's royal family's invitations. As a result, not many people had actually seen Chen Sixuan in the past month. This made the five male students of Class One even more envious. After all, they were in a favorable position to be able to enjoy the benefits.
Today, Chen Sixuan was dressed in an aqua blue outfit. Her long, dark green hair hung loosely behind her. Even though she was standing in the crowd, almost everyone's brilliance was overshadowed by her. Her peerless beauty left many people dumbfounded.
Other than Chen Sixuan, the other person who received attention was undoubtedly Ji Dong. The reason why Ji Dong received attention was the exact opposite of the reason why Chen Sixuan received attention. The reason why Ji Dong received attention was very simple, not only was this class teacher holding a wine bottle, his white hair was also messy, and it was unknown how long it had been since he had changed his clothes, but there was also a strange smell to it. No matter how one looked at him, he looked like a beggar, not a teacher, especially when he was standing beside Chen Sixuan. This extremely beautiful and extremely sloppy side by side, the contrast was even more intense, and there were even people who had the urge to kick Ji Dong away from Chen Sixuan, so as not to dirty the beauty's eyes.
Zhu Rong's speech was very short, just a few simple words of encouragement. After the speech, everyone set off.
Xuanyuan Xin led his Class 2 students at the very front. Class 7 was in the same group as them, so they naturally also walked in front. A group of more than a hundred people majestically left Blazing Academy, left Blazing Fire City's south gate, and went straight southwest. Almans Mountain was located six hundred kilometers southwest of Blazing Fire City, the distance was still quite far.
Just as they left Blazing Fire City, Xuanyuan Xin immediately ordered: "Everyone, run." Just by walking, when would they be able to walk six hundred kilometers? The students were all Magicians, running wasn't a big deal.
Walking side by side with Ji Dong was Class 3's homeroom teacher Tang Yilian. She didn't know how many times Xuanyuan Xin complained at home, but deep in her heart, she was still very curious about Ji Dong, this teacher who only knew how to drink every day. This curiosity mainly came from her trust in Principal Zhu Rong. A homeroom teacher personally appointed by Principal Zhu Rong, how could he have some ability?
Right now, she was walking side by side with Ji Dong. Ji Dong's messy white hair and the strange smell on his body really made people not dare to compliment him. She couldn't help but ask: "Teacher Ji Dong, how long has it been since you last took a bath?"
Ji Dong raised his head and drank a mouthful of wine. He basically didn't pay attention to her, continuing to move forward. Right now, Xuanyuan Xin's team had already started running. Their speed wasn't slow, but this didn't affect Ji Dong's ability to continue drinking. Moreover, his strides couldn't be seen to be longer, but he was still able to keep up with the team. Regarding this point, the Class 1 students actually didn't feel it was strange. Although they still didn't have a good impression of this homeroom teacher, it seemed that the things he taught weren't completely useless. Not to mention that he still promised to teach them that mystical footwork.
"Teacher Ji Dong, I'm talking to you." Tang Yilian's complexion was somewhat unsightly. No matter what, she was still one of the department heads of the academy.
Ji Dong finally reacted. He indifferently swept a glance at her, saying: "Whether I take a bath or not, what does it have to do with you?"
"You … …" Tang Yilian's complexion immediately paled, so angry she couldn't say anything.
"Teacher Ji Dong, please pay attention to your image. Don't forget, in your class, there's a princess from a neighboring country. If you act like this, how will the neighboring country view our Blazing Academy?"
"Princess?" Ji Dong stared blankly for a moment, saying: "Does our Class 1 still have a princess?" While speaking, he turned his head to look at the Class 1 students behind him.
As class monitor, Chen Sixuan naturally followed behind Ji Dong. She didn't find it strange that Ji Dong didn't know her identity as a princess. Looking at Ji Dong's empty and lifeless eyes, her heart couldn't help but be filled with tenderness. She said in a low voice: "Teacher, I'm the princess of Dongmu Empire."
"Oh." Ji Dong responded, saying: "So you're still a princess. However, in the academy, you're only a student."
"I know." Chen Sixuan didn't say anything else. After being rejected by Ji Dong last time, she prepared to change her strategy. With her understanding of Ji Dong, she naturally knew that this guy Ji Dong was a master who could be persuaded by reason but not by force. Blindly pursuing him, it would be better to use gentleness to gradually change his impression of her, subtly influence him. First, she couldn't make him hate her.
Tang Yilian's breathing clearly became a bit heavier. This guy actually didn't even know that Chen Sixuan was the princess of Dongmu Empire. Looking at his appearance, it didn't seem like he was pretending. This was simply too outrageous.
"Teacher Ji Dong, I'm very suspicious of your work attitude. After this trial is over, I'll report your problem to the academy committee." As department head Yue, Tang Yilian still had considerable authority in the academy.
After listening to her words, Ji Dong just glanced at her and threw two words at her: "Do as you please."
In the academy, Tang Yilian had always been known for her good temper. At this moment, she couldn't help but have the intention to explode. Clenching her fist, she glared at Ji Dong, but he didn't even look at her. He still stubbornly drank his wine, as if nothing had happened.
Xuanyuan Xin's style was undoubtedly very unyielding. This run lasted no less than four hours. After running for a full fifty kilometers, he ordered to rest and reorganize on the spot. Although the students were all Magic Masters, continuing to run for such a long distance still made them feel that they couldn't bear it. When they sat down, complaints were heard everywhere. Only the students of Class 2 restrained themselves a bit.
"Teacher, here's your wine."
