Chapter 1613: Chapter 1614: Side Effects
After a chaotic battle, everyone awkwardly discovered that the only one still standing on the field was Feng Yuan. Although he could have helped Qi Chen during the fight, he didn’t do so.
He couldn’t always be by Qi Chen’s side. Although the brawl was chaotic, it was still under the teachers’ control. If the battle turned dangerous, they would definitely intervene to stop it.
It was precisely because of this that Feng Yuan didn’t bother with Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan in the fight. Looking at the students sprawled on the ground, a few teachers exchanged awkward glances and said,
“Next time, let’s not have a grade competition.”
“Agreed. This batch of students is a bit hard to manage.”
Although there weren’t any major issues at the moment, all the teachers knew that it would be difficult to get them to the finish line. After this round of attacks, no one besides Feng Yuan was still capable of moving.
“What should we do about the rankings now? Should we cancel them?”
One teacher asked this thorny question. If they canceled, what about the promised rewards? If not canceled, they also couldn’t rank under the current circumstances.
After much discussion, the teachers ultimately decided not to continue. Given the current situation, pushing forward held no meaning. As for the rankings, fortunately, to avoid disputes, every collective activity was fully recorded. Coupled with their own judgments, it wasn’t particularly difficult to rank based on performance, which would be acceptable to everyone.
After deciding on this, they commanded their Beast Tamers to guard them while phoning the academy’s medical staff to come and pick up the students.
The medical staff, who had been resting, were taken aback when they received the call from a teacher. After hanging up, they checked the number, realizing it was from someone teaching freshmen, leaving them puzzled. What was going on? Why were there already such big troubles so soon after school started?
Despite the confusion, they immediately arranged personnel to head up the mountain to retrieve people. Although there were various dangerous environments and Beast Tamers up there, those were just the academy’s setups. When the medical staff went up, they would not encounter so many obstacles, and those beasts would even actively assist.
The only problem was that there were quite a few people to retrieve this time. According to the teacher, all the freshmen had temporarily lost their ability to move. This truly posed a problem for them…
Cleaning the debris from Xiao Ji’s feathers caused by the battle, Feng Yuan sighed and said,
“You really should learn from me and sneak attack from the side, don’t you think?”
Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan, exasperated, and said,
“If it wasn’t for that bell, you wouldn’t be so relaxed right now.”
“Hehe~ it’s called skill~”
“How about some Rain of Life? Seeing how you all are now, I doubt you’ll recover by the evening.”
Remembering something, Feng Yuan suggested to Qi Chen, who thought for a moment and then refused,
“Let’s not. A large-scale Rain of Life would be quite a burden on Agunas, wouldn’t it?”
He didn’t think Feng Yuan could use Rain of Life on his own, and asking Agunas to do it would make him feel guilty.
Besides, even though he had taken quite a few hits, thanks to Ah Mu’s power, his injuries were still lighter than most. As for Dou Yanlan, with his protection, she was less hurt than him.
At this moment, the academy’s medical staff arrived. Had they not taken some time gathering personnel, they would have been here long ago.
Watching as they carried away the injured, Feng Yuan shook his head and said,
“Didn’t expect emergency treatment to be unable to restore their mobility. They truly are…”
“Are you sure it has nothing to do with you?”
Looking at Feng Yuan, exasperated, Agunas said, all too aware of how he continuously unleashed Divine Beast Techniques. If not for him later drawing techniques from less common Divine Beasts from other areas, the teachers would have stopped his antics.
Glancing displeased at Agunas, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but complain,
“Of course, have you ever seen my ultimate move affect the battlefield? It’s just for show.”
He certainly wouldn’t use a complete ultimate move for an attack; otherwise, after a few Divine Beast Techniques, not only people, but the entire mountain would be gone.
After the turmoil at the end, today’s off-campus practical class had to wrap up hastily. Knowing they still had lessons tomorrow, students who finally made it back to the dorms started discussing how to handle the other classes. As for Class 1? Well, that would depend on the situation.
If Class 1 kept provoking them as before, they wouldn’t mind dealing with the most dangerous ones first.
The Little Husky, lying on Big Cat’s round belly, yawned as it watched messages from classmates in the group chat on the phone.
Even though they were talking enthusiastically now, Feng Yuan was sure that they wouldn’t be able to recover fully by tomorrow, yet they still dreamt about fighting again?
Don’t be fooled by how badly Class 1 got beaten today. That was because they had more people and the commander used military tactics. If not for that, they would have long been crushed by Class 1.
Even so, they couldn’t avoid an important issue—the recovery ability of Class 1 students was much better than theirs. After all, they valued powerful skills over merely high offensive power.
Recovery capability, as a crucial aspect of combat, shouldn’t be overlooked, and only techniques involving combined ultimate moves which require teamwork were deemed unnecessary by them, not only because they despised them but also because these methods, relying on numbers to moderately increase power, grew less effective as one’s strength increased and eventually had no effect.
In their view, such techniques that would have no practical use in the future didn’t warrant learning.
It was more suitable for them to devote time to more important training tasks.
If it wasn’t impossible, they would surely try to use the Time Series ultimate moves to continually increase their training time.
In any case, Feng Yuan couldn’t fathom the point of their extreme pursuit of power.
Swinging its tail, the Little Husky continued lying on Big Cat’s belly, watching the messages. Agunas looked at Feng Yuan, exasperated, and said,
“If you do that, won’t it feel uncomfortable?”
Big Cat turned its head on the carpet and meowed at Agunas as if to say it didn’t mind. Veronia glanced at the phone floating with telekinesis on Big Cat’s head and said,
“It might be just as happy as Xiao Ji. Look at its expression.”
Following Veronia’s direction with curiosity, the Little Husky’s wagging tail stiffened, suddenly noticing Xiao Ji, who had finished its training, standing at the backdoor, looking at it with a face of resentment.
Flicking its ears, the Little Husky suddenly closed its eyes with a soft whimper, amused by the other’s clumsy acting. Unhappy, Xiao Ji chirped loudly at Feng Yuan. If it weren’t an independent villa with good soundproofing, he would really worry about accidentally disturbing others’ rest.
Eventually, the commotion ended with Feng Yuan apologizing and consoling. Nestled in Feng Yuan’s arms, Xiao Ji’s tail feathers twitched, showing its dissatisfaction. Rubbing Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said amusingly,
“You, really… never mind, I’m going to take a bath. Do you want to come too?”
Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji immediately pushed him away with a look of disdain. Laughing, Feng Yuan put Xiao Ji down and dusted off his hands, saying,
“Tomorrow’s class might be purely theoretical. If you find it uninteresting, Agunas can bring you back.”
While not certain, Feng Yuan guessed that tomorrow’s class wouldn’t have much practical involvement, considering many were yet to recover from the previous day, as evident from the questioning in the group by the homeroom teacher.
He just hadn’t expected an alternative solution besides switching to theory.
After finishing his bath, when he saw the revised class schedules, Feng Yuan paused before chuckling and saying,
“Didn’t expect them to value off-campus practice so much, it’s really surprising.”
“Lack of practical experience means the situations they’ll face next won’t just be minor injuries like now. I agree with their approach.”
Glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas commented, concerned more about Wild Spirit Beasts, though it wasn’t wholly indifferent to human matters, merely not involving itself often.
Seeing the changed class, Feng Yuan reluctantly found his book, realizing he couldn’t afford to bring nothing to tomorrow’s Potion class.
