magic high school

Chapter 28: It's this chaotic world that ruined you.

"What kind of punishment will he receive?"

"No punishment is needed. He won't live much longer, and it has nothing to do with us. He's already riddled with holes in his body and soul from indiscriminately consuming potions. We're just giving him a final send-off." The senior student said, seemingly realizing it was time to go, "I'm leaving now. Be careful, don't harm your classmates, and don't eat anything of unknown origin. The school doesn't care about other minor issues. That's all for now."

The executive officer left in a hurry, seemingly because the information reported by Li Ge was very important to him.

Li Ge was also completely baffled, as there were too few clues for him, but he could roughly guess some things.

Could it be that all of this is a problem with the potion?

With that thought in mind, Li Ge followed the directions and arrived at the foot of a clock tower.

"Please come in," the vice principal's voice rang out.

Li Ge went inside and saw the flamboyant old man-like vice principal again. This time, the vice principal was still very approachable and gentle, saying, "Were you scared?"

"A little." Li Ge took a sip of the principal's afternoon tea. It was very bitter, but he still drank it expressionlessly.

"That's just how the Enforcement Department is. They're either arresting people or collecting corpses all day long; they've lost their sense of humor. You guys still have energy, like the rising sun, so don't bother arguing with these seniors who've already lost their vitality," the vice-principal joked. He then opened a drawer, took out something that looked like a business card, and quickly wrote runes on it.

"I'm sorry to have interrupted your training today. This is a warrant that allows you to customize magical items at the Logistics Department. With this, you'll have one chance to customize a magical item."

The vice principal handed the warrant to Li Ge and continued, "You seem to have been doing shooting training lately, right? That's good. Even intelligence personnel need basic self-defense skills. Of course, don't get too obsessed with it; it's just a self-defense technique."

The vice principal spoke in a rambling manner, sounding like an old man giving instructions.

He seemed to be looking out the window at the students who were wandering around the school during the holiday. His eyes became sharp or deep, but he quickly regained his kindness in the instant he turned his head.

Li Ge nodded repeatedly. The old man seemed to talk a lot, and Li Ge also respected this playboy vice principal.

"This warrant isn't anything special. See what toy you want, and we'll have the logistics department make it for you. A handy gun, a set of self-defense armor—anything is fine, or some other props. Consider it a small reward for your help." The principal patted him on the shoulder.

"Think carefully about what you need. A good set of equipment."

"Mmm..." Li Ge nodded repeatedly, pretending to be a good girl.

"By the way, is there anything you want to ask? I can answer some unimportant questions for you," the vice principal continued.

The bell at the top of the clock tower rang, signaling that noon had arrived. Li Ge opened his mouth, wanting to ask about the potion, but then closed it, only asking, "What's wrong, Senior Chang Gong?"

"Having taken prohibited drugs and attempted to harm his classmates, he has been expelled from the school." The vice principal paused, seemingly considering for a moment, before continuing,

"As for his condition, he has now been completely corrupted by that 'enhancing agent' to the point that we can't even get him to speak or extract any more information from his soul. That's why we asked you to help. Other people in the academy who have similar intelligence-gathering artifacts have also been called over to assist today. You'll get used to this in the future."

The principal seemed to be joking: "Special types of Noble Phantasms like yours are actually the most useful to the school as a whole. There will be many more opportunities for you to work overtime like this in the future, and the school will not treat you unfairly."

Li Ge: "..."

After leaving the vice principal's office, Li Ge even felt as if she had been transported to another world.

The senior who threw a tantrum after his disappointment yesterday has become a meme monster that may be immortal, and may become a futures material for the experimental department.

Perhaps the side effects of the potion are not limited to these; it may also make the person impulsive and irritable, or even cause them to develop a pointed head.

Just one potion was all it took to ruin what should have been a life of becoming a traditional magician, perhaps even marrying an elf and reaching the pinnacle of life. It's quite a sad story.

Sigh, senior, it's not that I've ruined you, it's this chaotic world that has ruined you.

In the end, the principal even gave him a "part-time" job, where he could occasionally use his intelligence advantage to work for others.

The vice principal even suggested that, if he didn't mind, he could give Li Ge a letter of recommendation so that he could get a lucrative job in the interrogation department, like a corpse collector.

Of course, after being rejected by Li Ge, he felt that he should focus on improving himself for the time being.

The most important thing is to improve the mage's rank and combat power.

After thinking about this, Li Ge took a deep breath.

He immediately thought of the warrant the principal had given him, which allowed him to commission a magical weapon.

Magical weapons, also known as magical items, are standard equipment for Noble Phantasm users. This is because Noble Phantasms are usually not hexagonal; they all have areas where they are not strong. To compensate for these weaknesses, magical items are the most common means of achieving this.

However, don't expect to be invincible just by getting a magical weapon. This thing can only make up for weaknesses, and the stronger the magical weapon, the greater the consumption of your own spiritual power.

So on the way, Li Ge had already decided what he wanted: a magical weapon with low consumption, high potential, and the ability to provide him with a certain level of combat power.

Just as the principal recommended, a good suit of armor or a good gun would be the best choice.

In fact, Li Ge might also get some fancy hypnotic rings or hypnotic phones, making all the ladies who see them his captives.

But he wouldn't even consider that; directly increasing combat power would definitely be the best option.

With a good gun, Li Ge could get better results in the next monthly exam and score points faster.

I should at least get an average score of 95 or higher, right?

At the same time, a good gun can perfectly complement his Lion's Eye. Li Ge's Golden Eye is not only a high beam, but as long as he activates the Golden Eye, any enemy that appears in his field of vision will be marked. For a shooter, this is like having a red frame cheat.

If he had this ability in his past life, he could have won a CS championship at the age of 16.

However, although his shooting ability is only used for self-defense now, it was his main combat strength when he was just a junior mage.

In fact, Valerie's ancestral armor and Saya's Shadow Cloak are both types of magical weaponry.

On the way, he was thinking about what kind of magical weapon he wanted while sending messages to his teammates.

Li Ge: It's nothing. Senior Chang Gong had some problems after taking a potion. I'm doing some intelligence gathering for the school, and the vice principal said there will be similar part-time jobs for me later.

Xiaoye: What did the school say about that potion?

Li Ge secretly thought to himself that this girl seemed to be very sensitive to any kind of drug, even the Nine Dragons Power that she had previously passed the school's test for.

Yilian: I have information on this. Don't ask. I can only say that those who know, know. Those who don't, don't ask either. It's said that quite a few people have already been thrown into the interrogation department.

Li Ge: By the way, the vice principal gave me a warrant that allows me to customize magical weapons. I've been thinking about it, and I'm considering either ordering a pistol or a suit of armor. Which do you think is more suitable?

Xiaoye: Gun.

Yilian: I second that! But let me borrow the gun for a couple of days first! (QwQ)

Valerie: Although I emotionally believe that armor is better, I'd still go with the gun. However, if I had the chance, I'd like to switch to a more suitable large shield.

Li Ge: ...

Li Ge: Oh, and don't touch the sunflowers outside my dorm. I'll check on them when I get back.
