“Ding! Dropped item detected. Will you pick it up?”
Dropped from Hart!?
Meng Lei was a little surprised but picked it up nevertheless!
“Ding! Assimilation successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Earth-Element magic talent!”
What?
Meng Lei was stunned!
Earth-Element magic talent?
I’ve picked up fatty’s Earth-Element magic talent?
What the hell!?
Meng Lei didn’t know what to say. Magic talent light balls were rarely seen. From the time he had acquired the system until now, he had only picked up one magic talent light ball!
This was the second one, meaning this type of item was very rare!
Picking that up was a good thing. Who would mind that they had too much talent?
Moreover, the little fatty’s Earth-Element affinity was high-grade, second only to superior-grade. This was top quality talent!
“Fatty, weren’t you complaining about how many classes you have? I will accompany you to the Earth-Element Class tomorrow!”
“Ah?”
...
Meng Lei arrived in the classroom early in the morning!
There were not many students in the class who had thunder magic talent. Including Meng Lei, there were only seven. The huge classroom looked empty and felt a little deserted!
Meng Lei took out his textbook and looked at it carefully. Not long after, the thunder magic teacher walked into the classroom. “Hello, everyone. I am your thunder magic teacher, Horatio. Over the course of the year, I will be teaching you the Thunder Magic Course!”
Mr. Horatio was straight to the point and talked endlessly. “Our thunder magic is the most powerful and domineering type of magic among the ten elements. There is no one...”
Meng Lei listened attentively!
Although he could perform spells with the system’s help, he did not know anything about spells!
In short, he could perform them, but he did not know the nature of magic. Therefore, the basics, underlying nature, principles, and laws of magic described by the teacher were exactly what Meng Lei urgently needed to know!
Meng Lei absorbed all of this eagerly, like a thirsty man!
During class, Meng Lei discovered the benefits of strong spiritual power. He learned things quickly and could remember the content after hearing it once from the teacher!
“Spells are like troop formations!
“The magic elements between heaven and earth are like scattered soldiers, and our spiritual power is the general. The process of unleashing spells is like ordering and arranging the soldiers into a formation...”
Time passed by quickly!
Busy days always passed quickly!
Unknowingly, it had been three months since Meng Lei had arrived at the magic academy!
“Brother, tomorrow is the mid-term examination, are you nervous?”
After class that day, during which the class guide had announced the upcoming mid-term examination, the little fatty came over to Meng Lei, looking very nervous!
“What is there to get nervous about?”
Meng Lei gave him a squint and continued to skim through an ancient spellbook. This book was called The Encyclopedia of Thunder Magic, which he had borrowed from the library three months ago. It recorded all the spells from the first to the ninth grade!
Chapter 29: Examiner Was Extremely Strict
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Though neither long nor short, three months was the longest time that Meng Lei had spent after arriving at Heaven’s Vault Continent!
Over the last three months, Meng Lei had familiarized himself with everything about the academy—his classmates, teachers, classrooms, and library. He had become extremely familiar with everything!
During these three months at the Fire Dragon Academy of Magic, he seemed to have returned to his university years, comfortable, peaceful, and carefree!
There’s no need to worry about making a living!
No need to endure the antics of his boss!
No need to work late into the night!
The only thing he had to do was to study, learn about spells, accumulate magic power, and raise his spiritual power!
Each day was busy but fulfilling!
Meng Lei cherished this kind of life and seized every possible opportunity to strengthen himself and his abilities!
Within these three months, his various attributes had undergone earth-shaking changes, and tomorrow was the time to assess these!
...
Meng Lei got up early and went to Training Ground No.11 with Hart and Daniel. When passing through other training grounds, they saw that they were already filled to the brim!
The mid-term examinations were also taking place for students of other grades!
The teachers’ rebukes, the students’ excuses, the explosions of magic... all kinds of sounds were mixed together, resonating around the training grounds and making people feel nervous!
Hart wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, shivering, “I heard that those who fail the mid-term examination would receive severe sanctions. I wonder how they will punish us!”
“You are still worried over that?” Daniel raised his eyebrows and teased laughingly. “Haven’t you been working hard over the last few months? Wouldn’t it be easy to pass this mid-term examination?”
“How can it be so simple? The academy seems to be lax on the outside but intense on the inside. On ordinary days, they don’t usually restrict us, letting us allocate our time freely and learn independently!”
Hart had a pained expression as he continued. “But when it comes to examinations, the standards are extremely strict and high. I heard from a second-year senior that only six people successfully met the standard for their class mid-term examination last year. The rest failed!”
“What the hell! So strict?” Daniel got a fright too!
“Six people made it?” Meng Lei was stunned. “In that case, more than 40 people failed?”
“That’s right, 44 people!” Hart nodded rapidly. “I heard from the senior that our academy attaches great importance to examinations and is very strict in this aspect. If the teacher dares to lower the difficulty, it is not as simple as deducting wages and bonuses. He or she could even get fired!”
“Oh my dragon god! This is too terrifying!”
Daniel also became nervous!
“So,
