Chapter 89: Chapter 24: Possessed by a Female Bandit
Upon hearing the approaching voice, Gu Fengās face lit up with joy, but then he hurriedly ran up as if he were a little man, shielding Yun Sheng who had seemingly popped out of nowhere.
His voice was stuttering severely: "Why did you... sneak... in here... Run away fast... these people... are no good... Iām here for you!"
Even though he said so, Gu Feng stood guard over Yun Sheng, his little chubby legs shaking uncontrollably, clearly showing his fear.
Seeing him protect her like a little mother hen, Yun Sheng instantly felt a surge of laughter, but at the same time, warmth blossomed within her; this little fatty sure had a sense of loyalty!
"Are you taking the hits, or are you standing in for me? I didnāt sneak in; Iām a new public student just like you, also a member of the Magic Group 13," Yun Sheng couldnāt help but admire the little fattyās courage, though playing the hero obviously didnāt suit him.
"Ah... youāre that bratty kid..." Gu Feng was startled.
"Another public student, a bunch of paupers wanting to learn magic," Song Jie and the others sneered contemptuously at Yun Shengās ordinary clothing and luggage.
"Letās show these two clueless public students the prowess of our Combat Department!" They drew their Magic Wands, aiming at Yun Sheng and Gu Feng.
A Magicianās duel naturally called for the use of magic.
Song Jie was among three people, each holding a Magic Wand in their hands, while Yun Sheng only had herself on her side, with Gu Feng lacking a Magic Wand, barely making up one of the three.
Nevertheless, Yun Sheng didnāt think she would lose.
Because Song Jie and the others were Magicians, they needed time to chant before casting magic.
"Little Black!" Just as Song Jie and his companions finished chanting, ready to unleash their Magic Attacks, darkness suddenly enveloped the surroundings.
Before they could understand why it had suddenly gone dark, Song Jie and his gang were thrown into disarray.
For a moment, red Fireballs, green Wind Blades, and blue Water Arrows whizzed through the darkness, creating a lively chaos.
Gu Feng, pinned to the ground by Yun Sheng, could only hear cries and yells filling his ears.
"Ouch, who set my clothes on fire!"
"My butt, struck by an arrow!"
"My hair!"
By the time Little Blackās Combat Skills concluded, the ground was strewn with three "living corpses" in disarray.
Seeing the sight, Gu Fengās mouth hung open in shock; those students from the Combat Department sure had it rough.
They were all still Beginner Students, having joined the Magic Royal Academy not long ago, each had only learned basic Attack Magic, none knew any Defensive Magic.
It seemed Song Jie had been hit by a large Fireball, his entire body scorched black.
The other two, one had his hair sheared haphazardly as though gnawed by a dog by the Wind Scythe, and anotherās buttocks were pierced by a Water Arrow, leaving a big hole.
"Todayās incident teaches us magic is dangerous and must be used with caution," Yun Sheng grinned, her dimples flashing with each smile, and by her side was a small black dog that had appeared out of nowhere, its expression almost as mischievously evil as Yun Shengās.
Gu Feng smacked his lips, surely his eyes were deceiving him; how could a demon beast possibly display a human-like smile.
The smiles of the human and beast fell into Gu Fengās eyes, yet he felt chills running down his spine.
Seeing several people unconscious on the ground, having lost awareness, Yun Sheng unapologetically began to search their bodies.
"You... what are you... doing?" It took Gu Feng some time to recover from the recent "violent incident," and seeing Yun Sheng acting like a bandit scared him terribly.
"Of course, Iām looking for something. They broke your magic wand, we need to find some compensation, donāt you think suffering losses is a matter of fortune. Eh, whatās this thing?" Yun Sheng pulled out a beautiful card from Song Jieās embrace.
The card felt cool to the touch, as if made of water, and right in the center, it depicted the Central Magic Tower.
"Thatās a Basic Magic Card, there should be 5 Water Magic Performance Points on it. Students can use the Performance Points to exchange for practice time inside the Magic Tower," Gu Feng said, his voice full of envy as he saw the card.
Because his own performance was too poor, even though he had been at the academy for nearly two months, his Magic Potion Group Thirteen had never had the opportunity to enter the Central Magic Tower for training.
Though he did not know what exactly this thing was for, seeing Song Jie keep it close to him meant it must be valuable.
Yun Sheng unceremoniously took the Magic Card, and then weighed the money pouch on Song Jieās body, finding thirty to forty silver coins and two gold coins. Judging by the ladās attire and the magic wand he used, it was clear his family was well-off.
"This magic wand isnāt bad, a pity itās made from the bone of a water-attribute demon beast, which doesnāt match your element and will affect your use of magic. However, the soul stone embedded in it is quite decent; letās dig it out," since Song Jie broke Gu Fengās magic wand, Yun Sheng did not hesitate to disable his as well.
Song Jieās two lackeys werenāt as well-off, only a few silver coins were found.

"This... might not be so good... Song Jieās family... holds a high position... His sister... Song Xiangru is... a member of the Magic Fighting Association... She is very formidable," Gu Feng worriedly muttered, it didnāt matter much that his wand was destroyed, but he didnāt want Yun Sheng to get into trouble with the Magic Fighting Association just after joining the Magic Academy.
Within the Royal Magic Academy, there were many clubs and associations, where first and second in commands are often Intermediate Students, not only well-versed in Basic Magic but also in Intermediate Magic.
The Magic Fighting Association had the greatest number of members and the most significant influence among these.
Song Jieās sister, Song Xiangru, is one of the key members of the Magic Association, which is why Song Jie, as a Beginner Student, could bully others so brazenly, especially the Beginner Students from the Magic Potion Department who were not proficient in Fighting Magic, suffered the most.
"If he has the nerve, let him call his sister over; if the sister comes, weāll face the sister, if the dear father comes, weāll face the dear father, one down, the whole family to go. Donāt look so bitter. With the fuss just now, Iāve already been delayed reporting to the Public Student Dormitory, come on, lead the way," Yun Sheng urged Gu Feng.
Unbeknownst to Yun Sheng, this unintended fight had set the stage for nearly two years of ongoing tension and scuffles between the Magic Potion Department and the Magic Combat Department, only subsiding somewhat after that particular incident occurred.
Right now, Yun Sheng wasnāt worried about Song Jieās revenge; she was concerned about the reaction of Master Mei Li, who had a temper as fiery as a fighting bullās, upon learning that Yun Sheng was late on her first day of reporting.
Yun Sheng had only seen Mei Li once, and if she remembered correctly, this female Magic Tutorās temper was far from pleasant.
Yun Shengās guess was spot on; indeed, at that moment, Mei Li was seething.
The damn brat! Late on the first day of reporting, wait and see how I deal with you later, donāt think just because you were brought by Feng Kuo, Iāll be afraid to lay my hands on you.
Today youāll get a taste of Master Mei Liās methods!
A sly smile flickered across Mei Liās beautiful face,
