I flew on a sword at the magic academy

Chapter 8 The Body That Attracts Evil

Throughout the entire process of the orientation, Dean Donaldson had only been watching from the sidelines, but now, in order to show respect for Shi Daohan, the exchange student from Shushan, he decided to take charge personally.

Amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shi Daohan strode towards the high platform of the church.

"Um, can I choose myself?"

Her innate spiritual roots are somewhat complex, possessing all five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as two top-grade spiritual roots: wind and thunder. There is no need to test her again.

"Sure, which academy would you like to go to?" Headmaster Donaldson looked at her with a kind expression.

Shi Daohan was somewhat surprised, not expecting the other party to agree so directly, without even the slightest hesitation.

"Only children make choices. I want to study majors from every college." Shi Daohan smiled brightly.

"this……"

Not only Dean Donaldson, but also the other elders and all the students below were stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"You mean you change the academy every week?" Headmaster Donaldson tried hard to understand what Shi Daohan meant.

"Changing the residence every week? That's not bad," Shi Daohan pondered.

"But you only have three years of schooling. You won't learn anything by switching back and forth like this," Headmaster Donaldson reminded him.

Shi Daohan waved his hand dismissively: "Three years is enough."

In less than three years, she mastered the skills of swordsmanship, music, physical fitness, medicine, military strategy, talisman, puppetry, and beast fighting in the Shu Mountain Academy to a high level.

His talent and charisma have earned him the reputation of being the greatest person in the Shushan Immortal Alliance in a thousand years.

Western magic isn't necessarily that much more profound or mysterious than their Eastern immortal arts. Learning it all in three years shouldn't be a problem.

"You think you can devour all the magical knowledge of our Horagaka Academy in three years? Young man, your appetite is far too big!" An elder glanced at Shi Daohan, feeling that she was being too arrogant.

"Big appetite? Hahaha, I think it's alright, not very big." Shi Daohan covered her mouth and giggled.

The elder-looking man frowned, glanced at the other person beside him, and whispered, "What's she grinning about? Does she think I'm praising her?"

Dean Donaldson gave the elderly men a wink, signaling them to keep quiet, then looked at Shi Daohan with a kind expression and said, "So, have you decided which academy you'll be studying at for the next week?"

Shi Daohan pondered for a moment and said, "I'd like to visit the Bixi Ci Academy, which specializes in water magic, first."

"Then I wish you a pleasant time at the Bixi Ci Mansion." Headmaster Donaldson smiled, took out a piece of white paper, and signed his name on it.

"This is my autograph. It allows you to move freely within the various palaces of Horagaka without any restrictions. This is a special privilege I've granted just for you. Take it."

After the sorting ceremony, it was already dark, and a few stars were twinkling in the sky. They were led to the dining hall of Horagaka Academy.

Shi Daohan got separated from Allen and George, but soon saw a familiar figure again.

"Hey, do you remember me?"

Kalman was startled by the sudden appearance of the figure, staggered back several steps, and almost fell on his backside.

"It's you again!"

Upon seeing that the visitor was Shi Daohan, Kalman glared angrily.

"Don't look like you've met your enemy. We're now fellow disciples. We should work together, help each other, and create a better future." Shi Daohan pulled him to his side and put a hand on his shoulder.

"What does 'fellow disciples' mean?" Kalman asked, momentarily forgetting to slap away the hand on his shoulder.

"Um... in your local dialect, we'd call each other classmates, right? Yes, classmates."

They found an empty spot and sat down. As soon as they did, a table full of steaming hot food appeared out of thin air.

"I come from the noble Pearson family, and it is because we are both in this Horagaka Academy that you have the opportunity to get close to me." Kalman held a knife and fork in both hands, cutting the steak with elegant and skillful movements.

"Now I'm the one approaching you, but soon it'll be your turn to pester me." Shi Daohan mimicked his movements as she cut her steak.

"What a joke! You don't actually think I'd like you, do you? I admit you are very good-looking, but we were born into different classes. You have no right to enter the Pearson family."

"Pah!" Shi Daohan rolled her eyes. "You look down on me, but I look down on you too."

After a pause, Shi Daohan continued, "I see that your forehead is dark and your mind is dim. A great calamity will befall you within three days."

Kalman was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Shi Daohan smiled mysteriously: "That means you're in big trouble, young man."

"Are you cursing me?" Kalman frowned, clearly displeased.

"Believe it or not." Shi Daohan shrugged indifferently and said, "If you ask me to avert the disaster for you now, I'll only charge you a thousand magic stones. But if you come to me when the disaster strikes, it will cost three thousand magic stones."

"A thousand magic stones? Are you out of your mind? The Pearson family may have a lot of money, but don't try to scare me like I'm a fool, okay?"

Kalman glared at her with disdain. He had never seen anyone make swindling sound so respectable. It was utterly shameless!

Shi Daohan laughed and pinched Kalman's cheek with one hand.

"I bet you'll come to me with three thousand magic stones in three days."

"Don't touch me with your dirty hands!" Kalman slapped Shi Daohan's hand, which was covered in ketchup, away and glared at her angrily.

Shi Daohan was in a good mood. After three years of boring and tedious seclusion, she had finally met a handsome young man who was to her liking. Moreover, he was a rare person with a body that could attract evil spirits. She was sure that she would not be bored during the next three years in Horagaka.

Within the confines of a person's spirit lies a guiding light, an innate deity born with them at birth, which the ancient sages of China referred to as the "Primordial Spirit."

The primordial spirit is usually in a daze, hidden in the deepest part of our soul, but it will slightly manifest and take over when we are focused and diligent.

At this time, the primordial spirit is carried by consciousness, but it is also very easily disturbed by external forces. Therefore, the ancient sages of China have repeatedly emphasized that cultivation begins with cultivating the mind.

When the mind is clear and the spirit is pure, the mind will naturally be clear and all evil will retreat.

However, if one's will is not firm, then the bright lamp in one's mind will become murky and unclear. At this time, the primordial spirit is very easily affected by external forces such as greed, anger, ignorance, lust, killing, stealing, and speech, and will eventually fall into the quagmire of eternal damnation and be replaced by evil spirits.

Kalman was in the latter situation; the light in his mind had dimmed, and his spirit was as weak as an old man on his deathbed.

At this point, he was undoubtedly a ready-made vessel for those unseen and intangible yet real evil spirits.

It's like a fat sheep entering a wolf's den; who knows how many evil spirits are eyeing it?

That's why Shi Daohan said he was now susceptible to evil spirits, and even dared to predict that he would face a great calamity within three days.

This is not an exaggeration. Shi Daohan is not that bored. The reason she follows Kalman is simply to make some extra money and, incidentally, improve her performance in exorcising demons and protecting the righteous path, hoping to earn more academic credits.

Kalman ignored Shi Daohan and continued to enjoy his delicious dinner.

Hi everyone!

A sudden sound rang out, and a hideous human face suddenly appeared on a plate in front of Kalman.

"I'm so happy!!"

Kalman was so startled that he swore and leaned back violently, falling off the chair with a thud due to inertia.

"call--"

The hideous face emerged from the smooth surface of the plate. It was an old man with skin as dry and wrinkled as old tree bark. A small silver knife was stuck in his left eye, and blood was constantly flowing out of it, making him look particularly gruesome.

"No! Help! Help me!!"

Kalman was pinned down by the ghost, struggling and screaming desperately.

Soon, screams and shouts came from other corners as well. Many ghosts with tragic deaths emerged from the walls and floors, floating in the air and uttering whimpering sounds that were neither crying nor sobbing.

The entire cafeteria erupted in chaos, with many students screaming in fright.

Shi Daohan frowned, his eyes turning cold as he looked at the ghosts roaming the room.

"You evil spirits dare to harm people here! I'll make sure your souls are scattered and destroyed!"

With a soft shout, Shi Daohan raised his hand, and an ancient alchemy furnace appeared in the sky above the dining hall, expanding further in the wind to a height of over three meters.

Shi Daohan slapped open the lid of the alchemy furnace, and in the blink of an eye, he had collected all the ghosts in the dining hall into the furnace.

"knock off!"

The ancient alchemy furnace, which was originally over three meters tall, shrank to the size of a palm in the blink of an eye and flew back into Shi Daohan's hands.

She pasted a talisman on it, intending to directly refine those ghosts.

"..."

At this moment, not only the students in the cafeteria, but also the professors and academicians were all stunned, and the entire room was silent.

"No! What have you done? Release them!"

One of the professors was the first to come to his senses and started yelling at Shi Daohan.

Dean Donaldson himself intervened and persuaded Shi Daohan to release the ghosts.

"They are all ghosts, and they just tried to harm people. Why should we let them go?" Shi Daohan held the alchemy furnace in one hand and looked earnestly at Dean Donaldson.

Although they were just ordinary ghosts who posed little threat, Shi Daohan would not let them go because they had just tried to harm people.

"They've always been friendly within the academy and have never hurt anyone. They were just trying to play a joke on the students," Headmaster Donaldson explained in a gentle and calm tone.

Shi Daohan understood the gist of it: "So they are your puppets? No, they should be called soldiers."
