Chapter 6
After the bell rang, Feng Ping Lan went back to the classroo, as well as meet up with the six deone Kaido was still there, as if he had purposely waited for him
Kaido glared at Feng Ping Lan, looking like he wanted to say so entered the classroom just on time He could only s the words in
“Bye-bye, see ya tos, he waved at Kaido
Kaido returned a dark look Sly, he turned to leave
“I hate hi twisted his mouth
“You hate everyone You dislike anyone you look at” Byriel immediately pointed out
“Who says, I quite appreciate this person called ‘Big Mike’”
“Who’s that?”
“Met hio to his aquariuems either”
“I don’t say anything when you stealLan protested
“Sure, but you’ll raise three swordfish in the next day!” Conglong y”
“Stop gossiping aboutstyle was that!” Morris complained discontentedly
“Aiya, I don’t even have a base in s up This is y, humph humph humph!”
“That isn’t called a strategy, it’s calledaround! You’re lucky you didn’t break your ars!” Morris reprimanded
“Alright alright, I’ll do better next time, I’ll do better next time”
The group of people ates to the bus stop
The bus arrived at the foot of theup the mountain, the demons lazily used their powers to return to the residence
Feng Ping Lan thought that he’d slowly climb up the rest of the road, but instead, Morris extended a hand to him
“What?”
“Your hand! I’ll bring you up!”
“Ah?”
“Even though you messed around today…” Morris spoke aardly, “But you were quite the kind, I ade…”
Si Lan is very brave…”
Feng Ping Lan froze He then lifted his lips into a happy smile, “Thanks!”
Morris hooked his ar Lan’s entire person up fro an extraordinary kick to ju in just a few minutes
Feng Ping Lan lifted his head to look at the still-dark third floor, so a little dejected because of that
Quetzal wasn’t there…
But he i his smile up Nevermind, he still had stuff to do anyway
Feng Ping Lan returned to his roo at his desk
He turned his neck once or twice, breathed in deeply, before flipping his notebook open
The pages were thickly dotted with notes The things written in it were coleaned from Shadow Acadeht through speech, so he had recorded everything they had said, circling things he did not understand,down the explanations that he had inquired
He had only gone for two nights’ worth of classes, but the thick notebook was already filled in by two-thirds
As Feng Ping Lan studied the things written in the notebook, he worked hard to build the scattered knowledge in his brain into a syste it for half a day, it was still a s of information
Looks like it wouldn’t be so easy…
Feng Ping Lan smiled wryly
Spell-casting was so that a hu out soh some kind of incantation, to realize different sorts of spells
He wasn’t sure if this hat every human could do, or that it was only applicable to Summoners
The basics of spell-casting were very si about it was that there were different sects, different variations of different types of spells It would require a lot of brainpower to memorize them all
Magic ability was much more troublesome
When demons were summoned to the human world, they were bound by a contract The contract was like a house that imprisoned demonic powers, and the size of that house decided the lie of powers in the human world
The demons could freely use those powers in the house, but the master of the house was the Summoner For Summoners to take the de Spell’, ‘Guiding Spell’ and the ‘Sealing Spell’, these three spells to use— before entering the house, they had to release the heavy lock on the doors, enter to receive the demonic power, then place the lock back This process ate up a lot of Summoners’ power
Feng Ping Lan stopped there, scratching his head in distress The incantations involved in this part were too many, and the theories in itself were pretty complicated He couldn’t make a clear-cut principle for how it operated Also, his situation was different from a common Summoner His Contracts weren’t Summoned here, the contents of his contract were very loose and there wasn’t a single condition set to the the specifications of the contract and the su his head spin
He looked at the notebook, frowning
He felt like the procedures were incredibly troublesome… Weren’t there any uncomplicated methods?
Why did a Summoner have to personally obtain a demon’s power? Wouldn’t it save trouble for the demons to provide it themselves?
Oh, right, because a demons’ poas already limited by the contract They didn’t have the freedom to wield all of their power by themselves
Ahh! Troublesome!
Feng Ping Lanhis objective onto so else
He took out a spare nail gun fro a screw to dis each and every part
When the eyes that stared at that screw and cos He took up the clothes clipper, quietly heading to the rooftops
The evening as quite pleasant, subtly chilly The diht penetrated a thin layer of clouds
Feng Ping Lan breathed in the fresh air of the night, stirring hiinary opponent to cut down on it He violently attacked one
to the side to avoid in another He looked like he knehat he was doing, but it was in reality just rando the air
In the darkness, a pair of cold eyes stood in the dark corners of the shadows, silently watching Feng Ping Lan’s each and every move
This was the place Quetzal frequented to think He was used to gazing at the cityscape fro about their current progress, and, prudently and cautiously thinking about the future he hoped to attain
He had thought that this moment, this place, wouldn’t be interrupted by anyone, wouldn’t be interrupted by Feng Ping Lan He had thought wrong
He didn’t know the reason why Feng Ping Lan was up this late He even more so did not understand what he had come to the rooftops for
But when he saw Feng Ping Lan start to wave that uessed why
This guy was using a ridiculous and clumsy method to prepare for the match tomorrow
Quetzal was originally going to ignore hi secretly But he stood there for so
The sight before hi ago It was aafter he had been taken in by Prince Shuekan
He hadn’t had a favorable impression on the Royal Clan at that ti collected into the palace
After all, the Feathered Serpent Clan had been banished by the Royal Clan He wouldn’t feel grateful towards the Royal Clan because of this The reason that he was here was probably just a short period of interest on the little prince’s part
He had a lot of freedom in the palace, and Prince Shuekan seldom summoned him The only time he had done that, was about a ame
“Theyour enehtily
“That will depend on what you are dealing with,” Quetzal replied indifferently
If this was just to catch barbarous beasts during the hunt, he did not need to ask this froh to handle them
“Everything” The young prince s barbarous beasts, those who think of ht now, the enehter them”
This was a command, but also a request
Quetzal’s heart ed by those insane words, in that short period of ti of it as the words of an egotistical royal
He took out his sword and started to perfor his swordsmanshi+p in front of the little prince, the hter
From that day onwards, Prince Shuekan had not sum what they preached was one of the Royal Clan’s characteristics
Right until the day of the hunting game, where Prince Shuekan captured an abyss creature all by hi all of the assassins sent by the other princes, shocking the entire imperial household
Prince Shuekan looked just so unruffled, cal was under his control
Quetzal felt astonished at this kind of outcome
Then, he found a scrap sword due to excessive use, as well as bloodied bandages, in the innermost part of Prince Shuekan’s palace
So Prince Shuekan had been secretly training He did not let others see his oeakness, and the hard work that cost him
He suddenly understood, Prince Shuekan’s goal to beco
That was an iht he revised his own view of Shuekan
Seeing Feng Ping Lan like this, a feeling of fa that he had only ever manifested for Prince Shuekan
Looking at the Feng Ping Lan as doing his utmost best to wave the metal rod around, he couldn’t help but recall Shuekan’s thin silhouette back in those days
“Hah! Hei! Ha! Huah!”
Feng Ping Lan brandished the stick, at the sa out weird noises Sweat soaked his entire shi+rt, but there was still no progress in his actions
Aiyaya, this didn’t seem very effective…
Feng Ping Lan halted hisas he stood
“…Why do you not use a sword?” A low voice rang out quietly
“Gah!” Feng Ping Lan got a shock, thehis head around in alar that it was Quetzal, he smiled shakily, “So it was you, Quetzal! Hahahaha! You almost shocked me to death!”
Quetzal coldly looked at Feng Ping Lan, regretting to have voiced out at all
After Feng Ping Lan calmed down, he smiled and replied, “Why don’t I use a sword? Because I don’t like the feeling of it going through a body! It feels weird, like when you use a plastic bag to pick up dog feces That feeling will transfer onto your hand Scary!”
Quetzal frowned slightly
What sort of stupid reason was that…
“Besides, I don’t want to hurta rod won’t injure as much”
“The enemies you encounter will not be just your classly
Shallow, short-sighted… completely different from Prince Shuekan
“But, you guys one before we meet any real enemies You’ve said this before, that you’ll leave when you find Prince Shuekan” Feng Ping Lan sth and powers have gradually recovered You’re also now under the Shadow Acade Prince Shuekan wouldn’t take too ht leave the next day If I learn how to hurt the other students, for such a short few days, incurring hatred and such, this wouldn’t be very hile”
Quetzal furrowed his brows
Looks like this guy didn’t seeht about ould happen in the future, which hy he had planned things this way Although Feng Ping Lan’s expected outco that outcome were absolutely stupid It was obviously incredibly disadvantageous for himself
There was plainly an easier method for it…
“Why do you not commandit, feeling astonished at his oords
He
words
He had felt this kind of confusion so o, and had asked Shuekan the same question
There is plainly an easier method, why did you choose the hardest path to take?
I want to know my capabilities You won’t sit stably, nor will you sit for long, relying on someone to ascend the throne
That was the answer Shuekan had given him
“I want to try forLan replied with a brilliant smile, “Because you will return to your oorld at any time, and I will return to my normal life, so I have to seize the opportunity to try It’s like going to a the it is to watch others play, nothing beats experiencing it for yourself!”
Quetzal froze Closing his eyelids, avoiding Feng Ping Lan’s gaze, he was silent for a long time
“…Quetzal?” Feng Ping Lan called out tentatively
Had he angered the other again? Aiyaya, looks like his answer had been too frivolous
“If you want to use a metal rod to handle your classmates, you can,” Quetzal muttered suddenly, the hollow of his palm placed on the floor
The shadow on the ground gradually expanded, ting-shaped shadows protruding out of it, then, a black line rose out of the center of one of those wing-like things The black line started to whirl inthe spiral, slowly shrinking, like wool being spun on a spindle, and at last the entire shadow shrunk into a black hexagonal crystal the size of a pinkie
Feng Ping Lan couldn’t tear his gaze away, his eyes resplendent with an excited and novel light, glittering brightly In the next ether
“Do not clap,” Quetzal warned, turning his palrasped the crystal, , “Awaken”
The crystal in his pal into an entirely black sword
He offhandedly tried it out a few ti a ‘Restrain’, and the black sword iinal body of crystal
Quetzal turned his head to look at Feng Ping Lan
“This is how you use it Re it The blade will only da down on them”
He tossed it at Feng Ping Lan
Feng Ping Lan raised his hands, fu it firmly
“T-t-t-this, this… f-forso much that they were about to fall out
“You will come across real enemies one day” Quetzal said apathetically, “If the Third Prince’s soldiers launch an attack, and we have not yet left, you will have to defend yourself—”
“A present! Quetzal gave me a present! Ahhhh!”
Quetzal’s words were cut off by Feng Ping Lan’s overly-excited cries
Feng Ping Lan raised the crystal in his hands high, happily running circles around the rooftop
“Goodness! A? Someone, please punch me so I can wake up!”
“Shut up!” Morris pushed hisopen, roaring into the open, “I’ll punch you between your legs if you don’t shut up!”
“Oh oh, sorry!”
Feng Ping Lan stretched his head down to shout an apology, then continued to look at the black crystal in his hands
“I’ it up and put it on onna place it on oodness! What’s the date what’s the onna circle it up on the calendar and put a hundred stars on it! I’ll rerandson’s grandsons, I’ll empty this day of every year, I’ll make ame this present!”
Yes, just like that!
“Ah, Quetzal, how about we take a photo together? I’ll make a hundred copies of it, and then I’ll paste it all over my room and my notebooks! Quetzal… Quetzal?”
