magic high school

Chapter 23: Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird, Life Isn't Easy

"Awakening a toy by luck, does he really think he's a mage..." Although he spoke very softly, Li Ge, Xiao Ye, and even Yi Lian, who had keen senses, all heard him.

This one sentence dealt a devastating blow to them all.

It was just an accident. Valerie apologized, and the other party complained at most, and that was it, since this was the Blue Dormitory area.

However, his previous "staring blankly while playing in a wheelchair" was actually quite offensive.

Li Ge looked at his badge, which was shaped like a book, a traditional badge.

The emblems for the three major departments are: the sword for the Noble Phantasm faction, the book for the traditional faction, and the monocle for the mystical faction.

Among them, the mystical school is relatively closed and secretive; they seem to prefer to shut themselves away and tinker with their own mystical and superstitious things.

However, the traditionalists and the Noble Phantasm faction had more frequent contact, which led to some friction.

For example, on campus forums, if someone says "traditionalists are all test-taking experts" or "those who use magic weapons are all wheelchair users with vacant eyes", the post will quickly start to stir up controversy, arguments, and online wars.

So Li Ge immediately frowned, his golden eyes illuminating, while Xiao Ye slowly connected with her own shadow. As for Yi Lian, he seemed to be searching for something, then immediately blocked Valerie's path, saying with a mocking expression, "Who do we have here? It's just a senior about to be kicked out of the Blue Dorm! I remember your average score is already below 75?"

These words seemed to completely ignite the other party, whose face instantly turned as red as a monkey's bottom, as if he had instantly entered a state of blood rage and intense heat.

"Do you know him?" Li Ge asked quietly.

"I know him. When I first came to Blue Dorm, he sold exam preparation guides and acted as a 'senior' to brag to the freshmen. But when I looked him up, I found out he was a second-year student, but his grades were about to drop out of Blue Dorm, and he still wanted to maintain appearances in front of others," Yi Lian whispered.

The school's dormitories are not fixed. They are evaluated every six months. Those with an average score of 80 or above are kept in blue dormitories, those with a score between 60 and 80 are in yellow dormitories, and those with a score below 60 are in red dormitories.

Furthermore, the school focuses more on the average score, so Valerie and Xiaoye were able to be promoted to the Blue Dormitory if they both scored above 90 in the monthly and midterm exams.

According to Yilian's intelligence, his average score has reached 75 points. For a second-year student, unless he gets close to full marks in the next exam, he can only retain his right to stay in the blue dormitory. Otherwise, he will have to be transferred to the yellow dormitory.

As for his seemingly internet-savvy behavior, his opening line was something like, "I've been playing with my wheelchair so much that my eyes have gone glazed over"...

Li Ge looked at him with her lion-like eyes, and without any hesitation, opened the box and checked the ingredients.

[Student], [Traditionalist Monk], [Demerit/Disciplinary Action], [Destroyed Treasure].

It seems this senior has quite a story. Although Li Ge only saw these four labels, the labels "Disciplinary Action" and "Destroyed Treasure" made Li Ge instantly imagine a whole story.

At the same time, Li Ge could understand why he exploded at the slightest provocation. This person was probably already on the verge of exploding because of the disciplinary action and the damage to his treasure. In addition, he was about to fall into the Yellow Dormitory and saw Valerie and Xiaoye wearing the Yellow Dormitory uniforms, which made him furious.

And the long-standing disdain of traditional mages towards those who rely on Noble Phantasms...

In an instant, the senior student became like a powder keg that had been lit, his eyes bloodshot and his breathing labored.

While she understood, Li Ge wasn't going to indulge him. She stood up directly beside Yi Lian and said, "Sorry, I have a Noble Phantasm, and my Noble Phantasm is a wheelchair. I've played with my wheelchair so much that I've lost my mind. Do you have one?"

In fact, to outsiders, Li Ge's words were just a normal retort, and the retort was not even very strong; it sounded like she was being coquettish.

When traditional mage players on the forum say that those who rely on Noble Phantasm attacks are "playing with wheelchairs to the point of having a vacant stare," those who rely on Noble Phantasm attacks often retort directly: "I have a wheelchair, why shouldn't I play with it?"

I already have a wheelchair. If I don't use it to play magic, how can I become a grandmaster?

However, these words struck his most sensitive nerve precisely, because his Noble Phantasm was damaged and he didn't know if it could be repaired, and at the same time, he was about to fall into the Yellow Dormitory.

Li Ge's simple words were a hundred times more damaging than Valerie's accidental knock and Yi Lian's sarcastic remarks. It was like a critical hit to his heart and soul, causing him to bleed continuously.

It's like taking your father-in-law to a brothel or taking a cripple for a run.

This seemed to completely enrage the senior student. His eyes turned bloodshot, he was panting heavily, and roared, "You're asking for it! You're insane!"

"Third brother, third brother, don't get excited, they're using Noble Phantasm techniques!"

"Garlic bird, garlic bird, Third Brother, you can't beat them."

"Third brother, you're not in good shape right now, and you're still a traditionalist. Those Noble Phantasm users could knock your dinner out of the night before..."

"Garlic birds, garlic birds, life isn't easy for anyone..."

His teammates kept stopping him, telling him not to be impulsive. After all, if the traditional build were to go head-to-head with the Noble Phantasm build, the Noble Phantasm build would be laughing all the way to the bank. Even though they were a year older, they knew their own strengths and weaknesses.

At the same time, Xiaoye helped Valerie up and said, "It's nothing, just a clown."

"You...you!" He seemed genuinely angry, but having calmed down a bit, he didn't dare mention the fight.

"If there's a problem, we can schedule a time. I'll be at the training ground, waiting for you, senior. See you there," Li Ge replied.

That one sentence seemed to kill the game. The senior was pulled away by his teammates and left the spot amidst repeated "Garlic bird, garlic bird" pleas.

It seems that on their way away, they said things like "You've already found your way to death," "You're a born evil brat who relies on Noble Phantasms," and "You have absolutely no respect for your senior," filling the air with a cheerful atmosphere...

But no matter how you look at it, it's just the lament of a defeated dog.

After the farce ended, Li Ge didn't even bother to look at this senior.

Li Ge even felt a little relieved. Wow, finally met a total idiot! During her time at school, Li Ge felt that everyone she met and everyone she came into contact with was pretty good and spoke nicely. She really felt like she was living in heaven. During the Teletubbies time, she even felt a sense of unreality.

I've finally met an idiot! I knew it! No matter how good an organization or society is, there will always be fools. And today I finally met one. It's not easy!

And that's how the sense of realism comes about.

Yi Lian nudged Li Ge and said, "Li Ge, you've got some skills. Why is it that your two seemingly harmless sentences actually broke that guy's defenses?"

Li Ge didn't answer directly, but looked at Valerie, who seemed somewhat guilty: "Let's continue our meal. Don't worry about this. It's just a senior who might be expelled trying to maintain his last bit of privilege."

Yi Lian instantly realized something and asked, "What did your eyes see?"

"A demerit and damage to the treasure."

"Hiss... I finally understand why he broke down..."
