Chapter 4

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

More than ten minutes had passed in the classroom. Including Lorne, only eleven students had successfully awakened their elves. The remaining few were still trying.

“Ah, ah… Help!”

At this moment, a student suddenly shouted.

Lorne saw that the student was screaming with his eyes closed in horror. Everyone looked over.

Suddenly, the student emitted a puff of black smoke that spread out from his body. Immediately, there was an uproar. The student’s scream also came to an abrupt end.

“Oh my God! He lost control!”

“It’s over, his magic lamp is pregnant with an evil spirit!”

“What should we do? Run!”

“…”

The classroom was suddenly in chaos. This was the first time most people had seen such a scene. They were so scared that their legs went weak. Some wanted to run outside. Then, something even more exciting happened.

After losing control, the black smoke lingered all over the person’s body. His eyes became empty, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then, he reached out and grabbed the nearest ordinary student. He opened his mouth and was about to bite the student’s neck. The student resisted with all his might, wriggling in fear.

“It’s over. He’s been possessed by the demon.”

“Run!”

For a moment, the classroom became even more chaotic. No one noticed that when the student lost control of his awakening and began to chase after the others, the middle-aged spirit envoy stood on the podium with an indifferent expression. He was coldly looking at the chaotic scene in the classroom as if it had nothing to do with him. He did not display an intention of making a move.

“He’s not even making a move?” Lorne muttered.

This middle-aged man was definitely a powerful spirit envoy. Otherwise, he would not have been arranged by the school to organize the awakening ceremony.

However, in the face of his student losing control of his awakening and even killing people, he did not make a move. What was he trying to do?

[ Mission announcement: Dispel the newborn demon and kill it. ]

[ Reward for completing the mission: 100 experience points, basic swordsmanship: 1. ]

The system’s voice sounded in Lorne’s mind.

“Kill the demon that has gone out of control?”

Lorne looked at the guy who was possessed by the demon and was chasing after the others. Then, he looked at the middle-aged man.

‘It shouldn’t be too dangerous,’ Lorne thought.

Such a judgment was mainly based on the middle-aged man’s reaction. He was still watching the show on the podium. Perhaps he wanted to test if there was anyone in this group of students who could deal with this out-of-control demon.

In comparison, there were already eleven students who had awakened. After Lorne figured it out, he rushed toward the out-of-control student without any hesitation. At the same time, Nita, the Light Elf on his shoulder, followed Lorne.

Feeling the wind behind him, the student who was possessed by the demon suddenly turned his head and stared at Lorne with a pair of eyes that were not white. In the next second, he rushed toward Lorne with billowing black smoke.

Seeing that he was about to get close, Lorne called out to Nita. Nita clenched her hands and a transparent barrier appeared in front of Lorne. The barrier blocked the demon’s sudden attack. The person became even crazier and accelerated to hit the barrier. Not long after, the barrier shattered with a bang.

However, in this short period of time, Lorne gained the best opportunity to attack. After the system’s mission reward, Lorne’s physical fitness had been greatly improved.

Lorne took a side step and went behind the demon. He raised his fist and hit it hard on its back. Then, the demon staggered backward. This punch also directly broke the arm of the student who had lost control.

“He actually has a good physical fitness. It seems that not only is he talented, but he’s also very hard-working. He’s a good seedling.”

The middle-aged man praised Lorne.

Lorne adjusted his posture and was observing if there were any suitable weapons around when he heard Nita on his shoulder. A ray of light shot out from Nita’s hand, aiming for the demon.

“Roar…”

The student who was illuminated by the light roared in pain. The black smoke on his body seemed to have encountered something terrifying and instantly dissipated. After losing the control of the demon, the student’s body returned to normal, and then he fainted.

[ Mission completed. Reward: 100 experience, basic swordsmanship: 1]

[ Your elf Nita has killed a newborn demon. Her ability has been strengthened. ]

The system’s voice sounded.

“Big Brother, I’m a little tired.”

As Nita had just awakened, she had used up a lot of power killing the demon. She flew to Lorne’s shoulder, lay down, and closed her eyes to rest.

“Quiet! The demon has been killed.” The middle-aged man’s voice finally sounded.

All students stared at Lorne with wide eyes. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

“Not bad, you’re very outstanding!”

The middle-aged man looked at Lorne and did not hide his surprise and praise.

“The higher the level of an elf, the more powerful the spirit envoy can be. The first time you awaken, your elf can destroy a demon. You can even use the purification ability. This is very rare. This is enough to show how outstanding you are.”

In the classroom, the other students looked at Lorne with surprise, envy, and jealousy.

“But what is even more rare is your courage! In comparison, the performance of the others has disappointed me to the core!

“It’s just a newborn demon and not the grown demons found outside. If you go to the battlefield like this, you’ll be deserters!”

The middle-aged man’s voice suddenly became stern as he mercilessly criticized the other ten who had successfully awakened. The few students immediately felt ashamed.

“If you guys worked together in the beginning, you could’ve completely subdued it. However, other than him, you only know how to run around aimlessly. This batch of awakened is really too shameful!”

The middle-aged man looked around and said sternly. The ten awakened lowered their heads even more.

However, this was the first time they had actually seen a demon. Such incidents of losing control of the awakening did not happen every time.

After the middle-aged man finished reprimanding them, his tone softened, “From today onward, all of you will no longer be flowers in the school, but official spirit envoys. Go back and rest for a day. Report to the outer city the day after tomorrow. You’ll learn how to deal with demons in your abilities. If you want to become stronger, you can only continue to grow through constant combat and training! Alright, today’s awakening ceremony has been completed. It’s over!”

The middle-aged man took one last look at Lorne, then strode out of the classroom.

Once the middle-aged man left, a few people in uniforms walked in from outside the classroom and carried the fainted student away.

What happened today had a huge impact on these students who had just turned fifteen. After the awakening ceremony, many people’s fates were about to go their separate ways.

Out of more than 50 students, only 11 had successfully awakened their companion elves and become spirit envoys.

The remaining ones would either choose to become ordinary people or spend a huge amount of money to obtain a magic lamp to see if they would be lucky enough to successfully awaken one year later..
