Chapter 20 - Failing The Course

Chapter 20 Failing The Course

Selection

Li Pu himself, of course, didn’t know what kind of trouble he had caused.

Moreover, strictly speaking, it was caused by the tiny Treant, so what did it have to do with him?

He only knew that it had not been easy for him to get to where he was.

Along the way, he encountered several waves of violent plant-type magical beasts. Fortunately, he had run fast enough.

In fact, Li Pu wasn’t that afraid of fighting them head-on. After all, they were all weak magical beasts. However, he and his

summoned beast lost out to them in terms of number, hence they chose not to fight against them.

“Wait, something’s wrong.”

“Did I forget something?”

When he looked around, he realized that it was empty.

Scarecrow couldn’t run as fast as him, and he had no idea where and when it started lagging behind.

“Forget it, it can’t keep up.”

He thought for a while and felt that Scarecrow shouldn’t encounter any big problems while making its way back to him.

That beast of his had an attribute of 10 wood and had a very good affinity with plant-type magical beasts.

He felt that the probability of it joining the berserk army was higher than the probability of being attacked by them.

Thus, Li Pu continued to climb up the hill and

finally reached the top.

However, he didn’t see any new students on

the top of the hill.

Only a few teachers were standing in front of their tents and chatting. Some of them were so engrossed in their conversation that they

didn’t even notice his arrival.

“Could it be that I came too late and the show ended?”

He couldn’t help but worry about the situation.

After all, he had been delayed by the tiny Treant for too long, so it was only natural for him to be in last place.

After looking around all the tents, Li Pu finally chose one with the words “Flash” on it.

However, when he lifted the curtain, there was no one inside.

“It’s over, it’s over. There’s really no chance.”

Upon seeing that no other teachers were around, Li Pu felt that he was really in last place.

However, after some thought, he decided to open the other [Flash] tent.

“Huh?”

As the curtain was lifted, he saw a mature and

beautiful young woman.

“Come in,”

The other party’s words dispelled Li Pu’s

hesitation.

There seemed to be a chance?

He limped in.

“It seems that you’re the champion of this

competition.”

Ms. Bai’s words made Li Pu realize that the

situation wasn’t what he had expected.

The others haven’t arrived yet? Why are they so

easy to win against?

He had never expected that he would still be able to get a first place after such a long delay.

At the same time, Ms. Bai had the same question in her mind.

According to previous years, it was normal for the first-place freshman to arrive at this time.

However, didn’t they just say that the plant-type magical beasts were going on a rampage?

Did he not encounter any magical beasts?

After carefully sizing up the young man, Ms. Bai found that his clothes were dirty and worn out. It was obvious that he had experienced a lot of hardships and did not seem to have a

smooth journey.

Both sides had their own thoughts. After a long silence, Li Pu finally thought of an opening

speech.

“Hello teacher, I would like to learn [Flash].’

“Let’s not be impatient. Fill up this test first.”

Ms. Bai took out a test paper from the drawer. As a responsible teacher, she had her own way of doing things.

Compared to the ranking of the competition,

she was more concerned about whether the freshman was suitable for the course she was

teaching.

It was true that [Flash] was a very powerful

skill, but in fact, it was not suitable for all Summoners.

In particular, the first Summoner skill that the

freshmen chose to learn might have a

significant impact on their lifelong combat

style.

Therefore, she hoped that Li Pu would finish

the paper so that she could get some reference from the test results.

Of course, if Li Pu insisted on choosing her course, Ms. Bai had no right to refuse.

This was the school’s rule to respect the

students’ own choices.

“Okay, teacher.”

Li Pu took the paper and pen and started to

answer seriously.

[Question 1: There is a magical beast chasing

after you, and there is a 10-meter wide canyon in front of you. Under the circumstances that you can only jump 7 meters, and [Flash] can

only reach 1 meter, what would be your decision?]

After reading the first question, Li Pu raised his

eyebrows.

This was simply a free-point question.

It felt like anyone would know to choose D or

E.

“I hope you will follow your heart and choose the first option you thought of.”

“Also, this question is just a simple test of your compatibility with the [Flash] I will be teaching you.”

“The final score will not affect your right to choose your course.”

However, at this moment, Ms. Bai gave

him a

warning. Compatibility, following one’s heart, does not affect the course selection.

These keywords changed Li Pu’s mind. Without a pause, he ticked F.

[It’s impossible for me to fall into such a desperate situation.]

There was nothing much to say. Yours truly was just that confident.

In fact, there was no accurate answer to this question or these options.

The more reasonable ones were D and E. However, D’s method of using the environment to find an opportunity to escape was a decision that was full of uncertainty and the unknown.

E, on the other hand, had a certain risk. Using

[Flash] three times in a row under a very short period of time might exhaust one’s energy and cause the summoner to faint during the

process.

These two options were the only two options in this question that would give points.

To be honest, other than D and E, there were a

few people who might choose A. However, Ms. Bai had never seen a new

student who chose F.

Hence, when she saw Li Pu pick the first question, she frowned slightly.

Five minutes later, Li Pu had finished checking

all 20 questions.

||

…

However, Ms. Bai, who had been watching him make his choice, was completely silent. Now, she felt that what she needed to consider

was not whether this freshman was suitable to learn [Flash].

Instead…was this guy really suitable to be a Summoner?

o points. This was Li Pu’s final test score.

First of all, she had to admit that the test paper

that she had come up with was not perfect, and it was not without loopholes. However, getting 0 points was too ridiculous.

This was the first time she had encountered a student who could get o points.

Li Pu had an ‘I knew it’ expression on his face

when he saw his results.

In fact, he had already noticed it when he was

halfway through the question.

This teacher’s style was clearly not suitable for

him.

There were a total of 20 questions, 17 of which flashed backward, while the remaining three flashed left and right.

In other words, [Flash] was only a skill for

escaping.

However, what Li Pu wanted to learn was to flash forward.

He would flash into the other party’s arms and

give them an uppercut.

“Um…Why don’t you reconsider your decision?”

“I will. Thank you, teacher.” Ms. Bai gave Li Pu a way out and he took it instantly.

…

“I didn’t expect that I would have such a bad start.”

Li Pu couldn’t help but sigh when he walked out of Ms. Bai’s tent.

However, he remembered Wu Guinan had said

that this female teacher seemed to be the Head

of some Department.

Logically speaking, the tents on both sides of the Head of Department’s should be of similar strength and status, or just second to her,

right?

He had already checked the tent on the right,

which had the same words [Flash], and there

was no one there.

“In that case…’ II

Li Pu turned his gaze to the tent on the left.

Putting aside whether the teacher inside was good or not, just looking at this skill, it was

quite to his liking.
