Chapter 19

“Um …”

He was speechless as he looked at the violent straw doll and the little Treant that had its head lowered as if it was exhausted and sleeping.

However, after thinking about it, it was more important to go back and participate in the course selection first.

Looking at little Treant’s current state, it was probably not suitable to continue being abused.

In any case, the straw doll could track it down. At most, he would come back to “thank” it when he was free in a few days.

The thick fog was now even thinner than before, so he pulled Scarecrow back the way they came.

After he and Scarecrow had left, a sneaky figure appeared in front of the Zen tree.

At this moment, it was indeed in a deep sleep, so it did not notice.

This person was Chang Shoushang.

“That’s strange. I heard that the principal loves tea as much as his life.”

“Why didn’t he care about Li Pu’s actions at all?”

He looked up and around, but Principal Cha and the female assistant were no longer in the trees.

“Since the principal doesn’t mind, should I…”

Looking at the little king Zen tree again, Chang Shoushang had an idea.

The reason why he could recognize this little Treant was that his senior had deliberately told the helpers about it after the competition had started.

At that time, she had even shown them the photo and told them that this was a magical beast that the principal had raised and that they should not harbor any ill intentions.

However, after what happened just now, Chang Shoushang felt that his senior was making a mountain out of a molehill.

It was possible that Principal Cha didn’t even care about the mere C-grade magical beast.

Otherwise, how could he be unmoved by Li Pu and the straw doll’s repeated abuse?

The principal might not be interested in C-grade magical beasts, but Chang Shoushang was.

His summoned beast, ‘Biting Flower’, was currently only at E+ grade, barely reaching a D-grade.

This C-grade plant-type beast’s material could become a great supplement for Biting Flower.

Of course, he couldn’t just kill it. After all, this was the principal’s magical beast.

However, he should be able to pick a leaf, right?

When the time came, he would give it to the people of the living type to be processed, and it would definitely become suitable fertilizer for Bitting Flower.

“One piece, I’ll take one piece.”

Thus, Chang Shoushang told himself this as he reached out to the crown of the little king Zen tree.

Thump!

However, in the next second, he was ambushed from behind. His vision went black and he fell to the ground, completely unconscious.

The female assistant, who had landed behind him at some point in time, looked at the guy lying on the ground with a blank expression.

“What’s wrong with the students these days? They’re really bold.”

As she spoke, she rubbed her wrists.

She didn’t hold back a little just now, so the back of this guy’s head would probably hurt for a few days.

…

At the final destination of the course selection competition.

This was a small grassy hill with no trees. On the top of the hill, there was a circle of single-person tents.

Each tent had a representative instructor.

The new students only needed to come to the hillside and enter the tent to choose the right instructor to complete their course selection.

When the number of instructors reached the upper limit, the tent would be removed, which meant that it would no longer accept students.

Ms. Bai was standing in front of her tent with her hands behind her back.

She was already over 50 years old but from her appearance, she looked no more than 40 because she had taken good care of herself.

According to the type of summoned beast, the school’s instructors were also divided into seven types of directors.

One had to know that not every Head of Department would come and teach the new summoners skills.

For example, in Li Pu’s cohort, only two directors participated in the course selection.

Ms. Bai was one of them. She was also the person in charge of the course selection competition.

Moreover, the [Flash] that she taught had always been the most popular choice over the years.

However, she was a little disappointed this year.

According to the past, there would be at least seven or eight new students at the finishing point by now.

However, there was not a single person.

Ms. Bai had already thought about it. When she saw the new students later, she would say a classic line with confidence, “You’re the worst batch of students I’ve ever seen.”

[Ding, ding, ding…]

Just then, her phone suddenly rang.

“Hello,” She said.

Ms. Bai turned on the speaker when she saw the caller ID.

[Bad news, Ms. Bai!]

An anxious female student’s voice could be heard from inside.

The student started explaining the situation rapidly.

[All the plant-type monsters in the forest have suddenly gone berserk!]

[So far, the cause has not been identified!]

[However, all the new students have been attacked, causing the progress of the competition to be greatly reduced!]

[And we’re almost out of manpower to rescue them!]

[Ms. Bai, please send support!]

“Alright, I understand.”

As soon as Ms. Bai answered, the other side hung up the phone immediately. It was obvious that the situation was really urgent.

“Magical beasts are going on a rampage?”

After hesitating for a second, she couldn’t help but frown.

Although the magical beasts in the southern Forest were very weak, and even if they went berserk, they would not easily pose a threat to the lives of new students.

However, she was afraid that something unexpected would happen. After all, in terms of numbers, the magical beasts far exceeded the freshmen.

At this thought, Ms. Bai also knew that this matter couldn’t be delayed.

If any of the new students were to encounter any serious danger, she would not be able to answer to the principal.

She had to quickly send support to solve this unexpected situation for the students, which was not supposed to be part of the competition.

For this kind of mission, the most suitable candidate was a teacher who was good at speed or group attack.

Unfortunately, she was not one of them.

According to her plan, there were seven or eight teachers who were very suitable candidates.

The scope of the competition was very wide, and there were many new students. Even if they considered the situation where the new students had gathered together safely and the teachers were capable of holding against the magical beasts, they had to send at least five or six teachers to be safe.

So, Ms. Bai quickened her pace and came to her tent.

In fact, there was an unspoken rule in the construction of these tents.

Based on a rough estimation of their popularity, they would be stationed clockwise.

In other words, her next tent would be the Wind Chaser teacher who also taught [Flash].

The summoned beasts of the Wind Chaser class were all very good at speed, so this teacher was undoubtedly a very suitable candidate for rescue.

As for the tent on the other side, it was…

“Ms. Bai, it’s tiring to hang out outside. Do you want to come in and sit down?”

A carefree voice came from behind the curtain of the tent.

“Forget it,” She said.

Ms. Bai shook her head.

Logically speaking, this new teacher should also be very suitable for the rescue.

Moreover, she had heard that the other party was a very powerful combat Summoner. However, this guy’s attitude was too obvious, and she was afraid that she would not be at ease if she entrusted the matter to him.

In less than two minutes, Ms. Bai gathered all the teachers who were suitable for the rescue.

After a series of instructions, although everyone had doubts, they were very efficient.

No one asked a single question and they all set off.

“Eh?”

However, just as the teachers were leaving the hill, one of them let out a soft gasp.

He saw a new student limping toward the top of the hill.

“It seems like the situation this time isn’t that serious. Didn’t a new student already arrive?”

“He’s the top student of this cohort?”

“Stop looking, let’s go.”

“That’s right. So what if he’s first? he’ll definitely choose Ms. Bai. We won’t get a chance.”

“I’m so envious of Ms. Bai. She’s going to get such a good student.”

However, what these teachers didn’t know was that what they saw wasn’t just the top scorer, but also the culprit of the chaos.
