god of tomorrow

This week, Gao Wen spent his days in the library and gymnasium, and his evenings were filled with meditation and tutoring. His cultivation progressed steadily and quickly, pushing his basic stats forward by a significant margin once again.

The only downside is that because the senior students who were wronged by Gao Yiquan kept getting beaten up, Gao Yiquan's reputation spread throughout the gymnasium, which made it difficult for him to get any assignments recently.

The reason is simple: those weaker than Labb know they are no match for Gawain and don't want to spend money on a tryout only to get beaten up; those stronger than Labb are constrained by the training room rules and cannot give their all, so trying out for Gawain is not very meaningful.

Without any new "big enemies," Gao Wen could only reclaim and reuse a few familiar "big enemies" from his senior classmates, barely managing to complete his daily tasks.

The system protested this behavior, stating that "a good horse doesn't turn back to eat the grass it already grazed," and "yesterday's days cannot be retained." The host could still issue tasks, but would no longer receive an S+ rating, and the normal rewards would be halved.

This is outrageous! This is utterly deceitful!

Gao Wen shouted, "He earned his money through hard work. Every bit of experience and every gold coin is a symbol of his friendship with those bastards. How can you say that a good horse won't eat the grass it already grazed?"

In the end, Gao Wen accepted the system's arrangement. He could assign himself tasks and create various suitable excuses for the rewards, but if he went too far and wanted everything, it would only deplete his own life force.

The consequence of Gao Wen's compromise was low profit but high volume, and the wronged senior students were recycled several times.

Nobody wants to keep getting beaten up, not even the biggest bastard. On Friday, Gao Wen didn't see a single bastard in the gym.

Unable to sustain the exploitation of the people, Gao Wen, after much painful reflection, decided to block them again another day!

Gao Wen was so busy during the day that he was constantly on the go. He basically skipped both the history class in the morning and the three major classes in the afternoon, which made the two teachers very dissatisfied.

Mr. Booth and Mr. Leo didn't react much; one sweated whenever he saw Gawain, and the other wished he would never see Gawain again.

The discontent stems from the divorced couple, history teacher Glen and meditation teacher Frey.

Because Teacher Ge Lan was just a skeleton, she had no desires, rarely got angry, was usually calm, and never showed any dissatisfaction.

Teacher Frey is different. She's been neglected for years and has an unusually short temper. I heard that the meditation class that day was very turbulent, so much so that the students in the front row didn't dare to blink.

Ms. Frey made a stern statement: if Gao Wen is not seen in the meditation class next week, she will deduct his credits, causing him to fail the meditation class and have to retake it in his sophomore year.

Skipping class is nothing, it's just about credits, Gao Wen isn't worried at all.

Once he passes the four tests and becomes a formal mage, Frey will no longer be his teacher, and without the threat of credits, everything will be alright.

Gao Wen's skipping of class was not in vain; the first floor of the South District Library had been mostly swept clean. His strategy of fast and steady cultivation had allowed his meditation to reach a bottleneck last night.

Once the empty container is filled, the internal and external pressures are balanced, making it difficult to hold any more of the four elements.

Even the empty city ruse was useless. The four elements looked outside the city gate and shook their heads, unwilling to be fooled.

Gawain has reached the end of this phase.

At this point, he could only continuously circulate the existing magic power within his body, gradually cleansing his physical form until the magic power broke through the threshold and the current bottleneck was overcome, allowing him to continue his fast and stable cultivation strategy.

Once the threshold is exceeded, the magic threads converge into a stream, forming the basis for a magic circuit, which can then be sacrificed to learn order magic.

At the same time, they also possess the foundation to control the release of magic, becoming a true, formal mage, rather than just receiving a formal mage certificate issued by the school.

Only then will Gawain have the qualifications to compete for the Cavaliers' rankings, remove the training room rules, and not be afraid to face Labour in a one-on-one fight.

Gao Wen sensed that the bottleneck was right in front of him. As long as he tried a little harder, put in a little more effort, and made one more push, a whole new world beyond this barrier would open up for him.

"Whoo~~~"

Gao Wen let out a long breath. He tried, but couldn't break through. Today wasn't the right time. He would try again tonight.

When I opened my eyes, Hervy was sitting in a chair by the window, tilting her head to look at me, just like last Saturday.

If I remember correctly, Lily was sitting in the same position that night!

Aside from their differences, the sisters are quite alike.

"..." x2

The two stared at each other, Gao Wen's eyes gradually turning dead, and he got up to go to the bathroom to wash up.

Herwie, not getting a chance to complain, added with dissatisfaction: "Gawain, you haven't seen me this week, don't you want to say anything?"

"Thanks to the president for letting me off the hook, I've made rapid progress these past few days and will soon become a formal mage." Gawain squeezed out some toothpaste, looked at Hervy leaning against the bathroom door in the mirror, and hoped that she could understand the unspoken meaning in his words.

"No, you should explain that you didn't go to the news agency this week, otherwise, not only will you not get your salary, but your bonus will be deducted!" Herwi threatened fiercely. That damned Gawain, he hadn't seen her for five whole days, and he didn't even pretend to be happy.

That's absolutely outrageous!

"I thought it was because the school newspaper's sales had been rising at the end of last month, and the editor-in-chief saw how hard I was working and gave me a week off," Gao Wen said, foaming at the mouth.

"I didn't understand."

"Normally, if I dare to be late, the president will arrest me... You haven't come looking for me for so many days, what else could it be but a holiday?"

"Ugh!"

Herwi sighed, "My roommate is sick, and I have to take care of her."

Roommate?

Your best friend Lily, right? She was quite ill; she almost burned to death on the spot.

Gao Wen raised an eyebrow, rinsed his mouth with water, and asked, "Who's my roommate? How's his condition? Is he better yet?"

Wreath or flower basket?

I hope everyone is alright!

"She had a persistent high fever and said she got heatstroke from being in the sun."

At this point, Hervy's brows furrowed with worry. She knew Lily too well; there was absolutely no possibility of her having a solar syncope. Her sudden illness and persistent high fever must have some hidden reason.

Lily wouldn't say anything, only that she had heatstroke. She also said that it was a blessing in disguise, as her magic circuits were being reorganized, greatly reducing the time it took to break through the seal. She added that if possible, she would like to sunbathe more often in the future.

Hervy didn't understand; she just thought riddle-makers were really annoying.

"It gets heatstroke in April or May? What kind of nocturnal creature is this? Won't it burn to death in August or September?"

Upon hearing that Lily had suffered a great deal, Gawain's heart immediately relaxed. That night, Lily not only pinned him down, bit him, drugged him, and made him bleed, but she also shuddered all over him...

It's good that he was rescued. The gender bullying has reached such an outrageous level. He will definitely take revenge on this in the future.

After Gao Wen finished washing up, he saw Hervy staring at him intently and couldn't help but roll his eyes: "I know, you want to eat big sticks again, don't you?"

"Yes, and big bananas too."

"Don't move around in the room, I'll be right back."

The scene shifts, and Hervy is enjoying the large pork knuckle, bananas, and jianbing (Chinese crepe) set meal she wanted. She eats and takes some, saying, "I'm so sorry to have taken care of your lunch. How about this, I'll treat you to dinner."

"I'm busy, I don't want to leave the school."

Gao Wen shook his head decisively; his cultivation rhythm was excellent, and he didn't want to be interrupted.

"Going to the stadium again? What's so good about it?"

Hervy was very unhappy. Being with her meant no worries about food and drink, which was much better than being at the gymnasium.

There were rumors circulating that the two were dating, and that their couple photos were plastered all over the food street. She held back from hitting them, but Gao Wen still complained.

"The gymnasium is great. Everyone there is talented and speaks very nicely. I love going to the gymnasium." Gao Wen spoke the truth. If there were beds available for rent, he would have settled down there.

Of course, there's a reason why everyone speaks so kindly.

People only listen when they have real ability. Otherwise, who do you think you are, babbling on and on? Get lost.

Gao Wen believed he knew Hervi well. He thought Hervi was flamboyant, domineering, and possessive. She was capable of doing things like climbing through the windows of the boys' dormitory for a small goal of ten million. But she wasn't completely unreasonable. As long as the pros and cons were made clear and more money was offered, the little red-haired girl could be easily controlled.

"President, I'll be very busy lately. I'll need to take leave from the news agency, and I won't be able to go out to eat with you on campus anymore."

"reason."

"I'm going to bring my talents to the Cavaliers Ranking Tournament!"

"But you're only a freshman!"

Hervy was dumbfounded, not understanding how Gawain had suddenly developed heatstroke.

It shouldn't be contagious. She had never mentioned Lily's name to Gao Wen. When asked, she said it was just a roommate, and she firmly believed that the two had never met.

There's no mistake!

“That’s what I said at the time, but Senior Labu didn’t think so. He said…”

"Wait a moment."

Herwi raised her hand to stop them, frowning as she said, "Who is Labun? Where did he come from? Have you been making friends behind my back?"

"Why would I hide my friendships from you? It's so novel. Why would I make friends behind your back?"

"..."

Yes, that's true.

"Senior Lab is a third-year law student and a top 100 player in last year's Knights Ranking Tournament. He comes from the Woodlow family of the Bauhinia Province. President, you should have heard of this family."

"Why would I have heard of this family? Are they in the restaurant business?" Herwi asked, looking completely bewildered.

"..."

But the records show that you are also from the Bauhinia Province. You two are from the same hometown. Moreover, I have investigated and found that the Woodlow family is quite famous in the Bauhinia Province. The family really does have a catering business, and it is a buffet chain. You couldn't possibly not have heard of it.

Gawain's heart skipped a beat, realizing that Hervy's file was very problematic. Everyone has secrets, so he didn't press the matter. Instead, he said, "Senior Lab told me a lot about the rules of the Knight Ranking Tournament... blah blah blah... If you rank well, you can graduate in your first year... He even recruited me, telling me to follow him in the future, saying he would cover all the expenses."

"There's such a thing... How come I never thought of that!"

Hervy's eyes lit up when she heard that she could legally pack up and take Gawain away. She jumped for joy.

Gao Wen's gaze moved up and down: "President, stop jumping! It's so loud! I still have roommates to watch!"

"What's wrong with 'dong dong dong'? It keeps saying things I can't understand."

Hervy raised her fist and blew on it, then suddenly raised her voice and said fiercely, "Raab, huh? You've got money, huh? Fine, fine, you dare to poach our staff? Let's see how I deal with you."

He stormed off.

What do you mean, "rabbi"? Where did this random guy from on the street come from? How dare he steal the person Hervy has her eye on? Does he even want to stay in the South District anymore?

"President, where are you going?"

"I'm going to law school!"

boom!

In the living room on the first floor, Xiu got up early and saw Hervy rushing downstairs with an angry look on her face. He simply pushed open the door and left, took a sip of bitter coffee, and sighed softly.

Although he didn't want to be influenced by Hill and evaluate what happened this morning from Catherine's perspective, he had ears and wasn't blind; the process and the result were obvious.

This morning, Gao Wen and Herwi had a friendly chat, but Gao Wen quickly called it a day. Herwi was unhappy that it was over so abruptly and stormed out, slamming the door behind her.
