Chapter 31 - Meeting with Orianna! Good Lord, Both Light and Dark Attributes?!

Chapter 31 Meeting with Orianna! Good Lord, Both Light and Dark Attributes?!

This was probably what it meant to be a victim of one’s own cleverness, huh!

Li Huan was now standing on the podium of the mobilization event while Professor Nano and the Dean were both looking at him from below the stage, their faces full of pride.

The student mission team was going to set off the next day, so how could they decide on the team leader just the day before?!

So it was a trap that had been set for him in advance! They had just been waiting for him to walk into the trap!

After he had agreed since he didn’t have another choice the day before, Professor Nano had shooed him home and ordered him to get a good rest. She even told him to look through the mission contents in detail if he had time, and prepare a mobilization speech before setting off.

Today, the minute he arrived at the academy, he had been dragged into the classroom right away. The eager faces of the students below the stage actually scared him a little.

Could they not be so enthusiastic? They should really listen to what those people were saying about him – he was a mere teaching assistant who spent his days in the library and amounted to nothing! They were causing him to be despised more by cheering and jumping up and down upon hearing that he was leading the team!

“Ahem. Everyone, quieten down! Quieten down!” Although he felt extremely uncomfortable and unwilling, he had to at least go through the motions.

When they heard Li Huan start to speak, the entire classroom instantly became quiet. No one wanted to leave a bad impression on him.

Sigh, what the hell was a mobilization speech anyway? Putting these students aside, Li Huan himself had been reading books on reaching home the day before. To be honest, he had only looked through the mission contents when he came to work today.

“Everyone should be clear about our mission objective this time, right?” Li Huan made himself seem to be high-spirited. He couldn’t act like he was displeased before his superiors, right? After all, he still had to hang around here for some time.

“Our mission location is about 150 kilometers away from the Imperial City and is in the depths of the forest. The nearest town that can directly provide supplies is 30 kilometers away from the mission location. All of you have taken field survival skills courses, so I won’t say anything more about what you should know. However, everyone should take extra notice of the mission objective this time.”

It was fortunate that the mission location was not too far away from the Imperial City. If anything went wrong, it would be easy for them to return as soon as possible.

The parchment had clearly indicated the objective of their mission this time. A werewolf tribe in the forest had originally been just a pack of wild wolves, but recently, their leader had suddenly evolved into a werewolf. Since then, they had been causing trouble for the surrounding villages and people. Li Huan had a vague impression of the werewolf leader such that it was probably below level 15. The parchment had said that it was level 12, which was close to what he had thought.

“Our mission is to clear their territory. The pack of wolves led by a werewolf will be more tactical than the average wolf pack. During the mission, everyone must pay attention to safety. Is there any problem?”

“No problem!”

Below the stage were a group of novice students. It was probably their first time participating in such a mission, so they were all rubbing their fists and eager to set off immediately!

“As expected of Li Huan! I’ve heard of him long ago. This new teacher is quite innovative and is also very capable of execution. He doesn’t say much crap either, so I like him!”

Who were they? Did he need them to like him anyway?

Li Huan looked curiously at the female student who stood up while clapping.

“Teacher Li! Please, let me introduce you. This is Orianna, the youngest member of the Mage Council!”

Oh! No wonder she looked so familiar! So this was Lana’s sister Orianna, the future big boss!

Li Huan nodded and shook hands with Orianna who walked up.

The moment their hands met, his sharp perception told him that the woman before him was not simple!

Her class was clearly that of a Holy Priest, which was a typical light attribute class, but why did it feel like the dark attribute was flowing in her body?!

In this world, everyone was born with an attribute. If one chose a class that suited one’s attribute, it would be very easy for one to level up compared to choosing the other classes. As such, no one would be so adventurous as to choose a class that did not suit their own attribute.

Only a small number of people would have two different attributes! This meant that if such a person wanted to, the person could do dual cultivation! Dual cultivation was something that was simply unavailable to the other single-attribute classes!

Now, not only did Orionna, who was before him, have dual attributes, but her two attributes were mutual-restraining attributes, light and dark!

As an experienced Summoner, Li Huan was of the spirit attribute. He knew very well that people who were born without two attributes could only try out dual cultivation in the later stages. After all, such a thing could only be fulfilled when one’s main attribute was so strong that it defied the heavens, because only then would one have the resources and energy to practice another attribute.

Yet Orianna was born with two attributes! She was truly a one in a million talent!

Orianna laughed awkwardly. Only then did Li Huan notice that he was still holding her hand tightly. Knowing that he had lost his composure, he quickly let go of her hand. So it seemed that Lana’s sister had such a powerful talent. It was truly a blessing from the heavens! No wonder she could turn into the trauma of the world in the later stages. How interesting.

“I believe everyone has heard what Teacher Li Huan had said just now! This mission is actually a joint operation between the Kingdom and the Mage Council. It just so happened that this mission isn’t that difficult, which was why it had been assigned to the Royal Magic Academy! This is a chance for all the courageous students a chance to obtain credits and a higher GPA!”

Cheers erupted from the audience. This was different from those black-hearted factories that sought child labor. A mission like this that was completely within the control of the teachers was something that the Magic Academy all but wished for. The Mage Council would save time and effort while the Magic Academy would receive a subsidy. At the same time, the students would be able to gain experience in actual combat. They would also be able to earn credits and get a higher GPA.

Li Huan was probably the only one who was suffering a loss in the whole matter.

“Your favorite teacher, Teacher Li Huan will lead the team this time, but don’t expect him to help you. He will only be in charge of supervising and scoring during this operation. Everyone, don’t think of doing anything bad!”

It was great that someone had stepped forward to say everything for him. This was all that he could wish for.

“Alright! The operation manual has been distributed to everyone! Please do remember to gather at six o’clock in the morning sharp at the entrance of the Academy!”

Li Huan gradually understood that unfair grading might be an issue in missions like this. As such, his character as a cold and aloof prince charming in the Academy probably made him the most suitable for the job.

Seeing that the students had left, Professor Nano, the Dean, and Arionna all took turns to come forward and pat his shoulder.

It was just a simple mission. Was there a need to act like he was approaching his end?! With them acting like this, he seriously had to doubt the danger level of this mission!
