233 Chapter 233 - The Perfect Match (1/2)

That awesome image the students had of Gu Fei in their minds wavered slightly due to what they deemed as him casting 'off-target'. Gu Fei naturally did not know of their thoughts and merely pointed to Ah Fa the Blazing Tree of a Thousand Inferno spell that had not managed to burn off even one monster, ”See that?”

When Ah Fa nodded his head, Gu Fei waved his hand toward all the students, ”Go and fight the monsters!”

This was how the operation 'exterminate the Brigands' officially began. Gu Fei did not idle. Confident that his Spell Damage could not insta-kill any of the monsters without his sword, he would occasionally cast a few spells to help everyone.

It was fine if he did not provide them assistance, but everyone's heart chilled further when he did.

Some of the slightly knowledgeable students toward gaming saw that the monsters Gu Fei had struck were unfazed by his spells and thoroughly assumed that Gu Fei's Spell Damage was average.

Since Ah Fa had the greatest gaming knowledge among the students, he could see this most clearly. As a fellow Mage, he even estimated that Teacher Gu Fei's Spell Damage was lower than his.

It was not just that, though. Gu Fei would retreat to the side, fished out fruit from his dimensional pocket, and munched on it every few spells he cast. His smooth actions signified that this was something he was very used to doing. A Mage's mana would only deplete this quickly if it was low to begin with. Only one reason could cause this, and that was not adding points to Intelligence. A Mage that had low Intelligence was no better than trash… There was no need to argue over this fact. No matter what type of character a Mage was currently building, it was impossible for him or her to disregard Intelligence.

Ah Fa continued to fight a few Brigands as he moved toward Gu Fei who was currently eating an apple, feebly asking, ”Sir, how did you allocate your stat points?”

”I've put them all into Agility,” Gu Fei answered.

Ah Fa nearly coughed up blood when he heard this; the word 'trash' was on the tip of his tongue and he forcefully swallowed it down. Pausing for a bit, he stiltedly asked, ”Why?”

”What do you mean 'why'?”

”Why are you putting all your points to Agility?”

”To increase my speed!” Gu Fei answered.

”Speed…” Ah Fa muttered to himself. He could not think of a reason for a Mage to value speed to the point of forgoing Intelligence. Just as he was about to ask for more details, Gu Fei suddenly cried out, ”Behind you!” He then tossed his half-eaten apple over to a student.

A student somehow lost track of the Brigand he was fighting and stood there in a daze, not knowing that the Brigand had already gotten behind him. The half-eaten apple Gu Fei had thrown struck the said student's head and cleared his muddle-headedness. At the same time, the student registered Gu Fei's warning and quickly turned around with the weapon in his hand held horizontally, blocking the incoming attack of the Brigand.

The other students around him rushed to give him a hand and they very quickly dispatched the Brigand. Gu Fei nodded his head approvingly when he saw the students helping one another. At the same time, he told Ah Fa who was beside him, ”Go and help them fight the monsters! You're the strongest among them, so why are you just standing here?”

Ah Fa kept the question he had and joined the skirmish once more.

The operation progressed smoothly with everyone's united effort. All counted the monsters they still needed to kill to fulfill the quest requirement.

”Two more left!”

”Only one more now!”

Ah Fa inhaled a sharp breath. The Brigand leader had yet to reveal itself. Perhaps, the second part of the quest would only be triggered after they killed all the one hundred Brigands for this first part? Thinking that they would have to depend on Gu Fei now, Ah Fa's heart beat with trepidation. He sneaked a glance at Gu Fei as another spell was unleashed.

”One hundred!” everyone cheered.

Gu Fei, who had not provided much help throughout this process, became highly vigilant at this moment. He came to the same conclusion as Ah Fa that the Brigand leader would only appear after the first part of the quest was completed.

Once the one hundredth Brigand fell down, he did not remain motionless like the others; instead, this Brigand reached into his waist and threw something in the air.

A piercing sound was heard as the thrown object soared through the clouds. Only then did the Brigand fall to the ground and die. All the students looked at the direction that the flare had disappeared to with restlessness hearts. No matter how strong the Brigand leader was, there was no way for him to fall from the sky, so Gu Fei focused his eyes on the deeper part of the valley, instead.

In no time at all, they heard the heavy sound of footsteps coming from within the valley. The students were quite shaken when they heard this thudding sound. No matter how they put it, this was not the sound anyone would expect from just one person!

”Melee job classes, quickly move to the front! Priests, head to the back. Archers and Mages, get to either side!” Ah Fa commanded his fellow classmates to face the enemies in his panic. Gu Fei, at this point, imposingly stepped forward and told the students, ”All of you, retreat to the side.”
