Chapter 23 Principal Cha’s Request

The next day, in the principal’s office.

Li Fan casually sat across from Principal Cha while drinking a cup of high-quality tea.

Principal Cha looked at the young teacher who was in his early 30s, and his expression was quite distressed. It could be seen that the other party didn’t know how to appreciate tea at all, and was purely drinking it like water.

Li Fan was once a top graduate of the Imperial Capital Summoner’s University. Even before he graduated, he already had the combat strength of an ordinary teacher at Imperial University. He was once thought to have the potential to reach the level of a principal in the future.

In the end, he heard that Li Fan was so engrossed in playing cards that he neglected his cultivation.

Cube Cards were a very popular entertainment method among Summoners. In fact, there was a secret behind the cards that was related to the other world.

To be honest, Principal Cha himself was also a fan of playing cards, but he believed that

everything should have a limit. It was

absolutely not advisable to slack off on one’s improvement like Li Fan.

However, a starving camel was still bigger than

a horse. As such, even though Li Fan was immersed in cards, he still had a very good standard as a Summoner.

Therefore, when his old friend from the Imperial Capital asked him for help, Principal Cha immediately agreed to let Li Fan teach at his university. He just didn’t expect that this guy would be so lazy.

“Mr. Principal, why did you ask me to come here today?” On the other side, Li Fan finished his tea in a few gulps and went straight to the point.

To be honest, he wanted to light a cigarette, but he gave up out of politeness.

“Xiao Li, I called you here because I have a task for you,” Hearing the other party’s question, Principal Cha came back to his senses and said with a meaningful expression.

…

“This time, Li Fan did not dare to answer.

He had come to teach at Western Capital University only because he had lost a game of cards. He just wanted to quietly pass the days as promised, then gather a good set of cards again and go back to the Imperial Capital.

Although he didn’t know Principal Cha’s style of doing things, judging from his expression, he seemed as if he wanted to give him a very important mission.

“This mission is a personal request from me,” Seeing that the other party didn’t reply, Principal Cha continued, “I want you to pay more attention to Li Pu.”

After all, he had limited energy. He couldn’t

keep an eye on Li Pu all the time. Entrusting this mission could also be considered as letting another take charge of the matter on his behalf. “Li Pu? That strange little cripple?” When Li Fan heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

It was only yesterday that he heard that the kid was the champion of this year’s competition. The boy was clearly a cripple, yet he was still able to come in first. It was just ridiculous.

It was possible that the other party had chosen Sprint with him as the teacher with a

premeditated plan.

He couldn’t guarantee other Summoner skills, but Li Fan was sure that in the entire Western Capital University and even the Hua region, there might not be a teacher who could use Sprint better than him.

He had even modified his version of Sprint, so it was definitely not just the ordinary Sprint. “Oh? You also think that there’s something off about him?” Principal Cha saw Li Fan’s reaction and immediately agreed. When the boy had been facing the little Zen

tree, he had thought that Li Pu was a logistics Summoner. Previously, when the boy had used his bare hands to tear the entangled vines, he had also thought the Li Pu was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person. But later on, this judgment was shaken.

This was because he saw that Li Pu could not only move freely between the violent plant magical beasts, but when he met magical beasts that were alone, he would go forward and beat the beast up.

In contrast, Li Pu’s summoned beast, the Scarecrow, followed behind its Summoner the entire time and did not make any contribution. Never mind how a cripple could be so agile, just the fact that he could single-handedly defeat and crush a berserk magical beast was enough to make people gasp in admiration. With his years of experience, Principal Cha was certain that none of the summoned beasts in this batch of new students was his match.

Take note that he was comparing Li Pu, a Summoner, to the summoned beasts, instead of comparing summoned beasts to other summoned beasts.

In other words, he felt that Li Pu’s combat strength was at least comparable to a level 1 B-grade summoned beast.

Now that he was allowed to learn Sprint, Principal Cha could already imagine that the

boy’s combat strength would continue to improve. The skills that other Summoners used

to escape would probably be used by this kid as

a weapon to beat his enemies.

Of course, he didn’t tell Li Fan these things in

detail. The only request he made was for Li Fan to keep an eye on Li Pu and report to him if

there were any special situations. “I understand,” Hearing this, Li Fan nodded. “So you’re saying that I just need to

take care of that cripple in the future? It seems

||

that he is an important junior of yours. I will take care of him. Don’t worry.’ To be honest, this mission was quite simple

and easy, which made him feel relieved.

“Umm…” However, after hearing this, Principal Cha paused for a moment before saying, “As for the other child, please take care

of him too. That’s my grandson.”

…

On the campus, Li Pu was talking to Wu Guinan

table.

at a stone “After choosing our courses, we still have to

choose majors?” Li Pu was speechless after hearing the introduction.

Since he came to Western Capital University, he hadn’t learned anything. Rather, he had gone through a speed race first, and now they had to

duel. “Yes, after the duel to choose your major, only then will school officially start,” Wu Guinan nodded and took out a bundle of water spinach from his storage space and handed it to the

Rolling Turtle which was lying at his feet. [Gun!] The Rolling Turtle stretched its neck happily and held the water spinach in its mouth to enjoy it slowly.

“If I knew it would be so troublesome, I would

have chosen another school…” Li Pu mumbled

in a low voice, but it didn’t escape Wu Guinan’s

ears.

“It’s fine. There are still two weeks before the major selection process officially starts. You can rest well during this time. At the same time, you can cultivate a tacit understanding with your summoned beast,” Speaking of tacit understanding, Wu Guinan looked around and didn’t find the Scarecrow at all. This Summoner-summoned beast duo was ridiculous. He hadn’t seen the summoned beast by Li Pu’s side for even a second today.

Was it really okay to let it roam around freely

like this?

“You’re right, you’re right,” Li Pu’s attitude toward Wu Guinan was very gentle. There was no other reason than that his good classmate had lent him 1000 crystal coins, which allowed him to bestow the Bind skill that he got yesterday to the Scarecrow.

On top of that, he even had 500 points left, allowing him to further consider what other skills to teach the Scarecrow.

He remembered that apart from the Wind Listener Pavilion, among the remaining six types of pavilions, the Breaking Pavilion and

Berserk Pavilion also had the remains of magical beasts.

Now that he understood how to use the [Friend

of Magical Beasts] function, it was time to go

and take a look.

Besides, he had almost finished his conversation with Wu Guinan, and he could set off at any time.

Li Pu decided to ask the Scarecrow to come back first.
