A little girl at a magic school, she's a goofy troublemaker who can do anything.

"I am Ruiyuan, a freshman from Canghai Academy."

The third student raising the flag wore glasses, spoke sparingly, and had a calm, unassuming expression, showing little reaction.

He looked indifferently at the students below the stage who were staring at him curiously, and casually took out a pill-shaped magic potion from his pocket.

It was dark and round, with an unremarkable appearance.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Ruiyuan raised his hand and threw the potion like a firecracker, silencing everyone around him and making them stare with bated breath.

The once towering flagpole shrank, becoming a pole that Ruiyuan could easily hang the college flag on without even raising his hand.

After he slowly and methodically hung up the college flag, the flagpole grew back to its usual height.

I will not raise the flag myself; I want the flagpole to bow down to me.

Unbeknownst to them, their arrogance was extreme.

-

"Where did this deity come from?"

Mu Feng was already used to being shocked, and asked Qin Guanyu questions with ease.

Qin Guanyu introduced him with ease: "Ruiyuan is a remarkable person among the new students of Canghai Academy. Generally speaking, potions are either taken externally or drunk, but he is used to using potions in a snap-on manner, which can be used on people or objects with perfect accuracy."

"There are so many extraordinary people in this year's freshmen," Pei Yuan raised an eyebrow with interest. "It's lively."

Mu Feng complained, "Pei Yuan, don't boost the enemy's morale. We're about to reach Li Wenyin."

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "But then again, this Ruiyuan gives me a feeling similar to Senior Nangong."

"The tradition of Canghai Academy," Pei Yuan said, "is one of calmness and composure to the point of indifference."

Stereotypes have been reinforced.

-

Seeing that the flag bearers from the three colleges ahead had all completed their flag-raising ceremonies.

It's Li Wenyin's turn.

Li Wenyin's mind went blank for a moment as she thought about how she could avoid appearing completely crushed in this situation.

Kneel down and kowtow a few times; would that lessen the feeling of brutality?

Li Wenyin looked solemnly at the Obsidian Academy flag in her hand.

Forget it, whatever. Whichever professor from Obsidian Academy had the misfortune of choosing Li Wenyin to raise the flag, since they chose her, they shouldn't blame her for embarrassing Obsidian Academy. She's never been shameless.

"Good morning, fellow students and teachers. I am Li Wenyin, a first-year student from Obsidian Academy."

Li Wenyin shouted loudly, gripping the corner of the Obsidian Academy flag tightly with her hand and unfurling it.

The flag fluttered in the wind in her hand, while Li Wenyin raised her wand in her other hand.

"What I'm about to do might be a bit beyond your imagination, I'm sorry everyone."

"Here it is!"

She suddenly threw the college flag into the air.

"Homage to the unparalleled free will of Kokuyoin!"

It's ignition magic.

Li Wenyin burned the Obsidian Academy flag!

-

The Obsidian Academy's flag was set ablaze in the air, the crimson flames spreading like wildfire as they rapidly consumed the flag.

Under the incredulous gazes of the students, it turned to ashes in mid-air.

"Holy crap, is she insane?!"

"How could she burn the college flag in public! That's the flag that symbolizes the college! Our sacred and inviolable honor!"

"A madman, a complete madman!"

"What is the background of this new student? Such an astonishing move is unprecedented in history."

The people below the stage, including Mu Feng and Pei Yuan, were so shocked they were practically splitting in their boots.

"Damn it, someone go and pull Li Wenyin down! Looks like we can't escape this solitary confinement cell." Mu Feng was dumbfounded.

Qin Guanyu's face turned unusually pale: "I...I'll go plead with Teacher Wuya..."

Yu Zhiyuan remained silent, quietly watching Li Wenyin on the stage.

"What's the rush?" Pei Yuan pulled the two flustered people along. "Keep watching."

-

Li Wenyin's fiery rage was as fierce as a gluttonous beast, devouring the academy flag in just a few bites.

And when the last bit of ashes disappeared.

Li Wenyin raised her head and looked at the top of the flagpole.

Ignoring the uproar from the audience, she raised her wand and waved it outwards.

"exhibition!"

The Obsidian Academy flag, which had been completely burned, was now flying perfectly intact atop the flagpole. At her command, it was suddenly unfurled, displaying a magnificent and imposing presence.

Just then, a fierce yet cool breeze came.

The school flag fluttered and rose, Li Wenyin's school uniform billowed, and her hair danced wildly in the wind.

I am mysterious and unpredictable, I am an inextinguishable wildfire, I come from the Obsidian Academy.

The flag-raising ceremony was a great success and amazed everyone.

Freshmen from the four colleges have distinguished themselves, showcasing the charm and capabilities of their institutions.

The geniuses of Oakwood Academy are arrogant and overbearing.

The peerless beauty of the Poppy Garden.

The extraordinary person from Canghai Academy is incredibly arrogant.

Kokuyoin's mental illness is unparalleled in the world.

-

After the flag-raising ceremony, several of Li Wenyin's senior classmates happily ran towards her.

Mu Feng was overjoyed, even more so than if he had gone on stage and shone brightly himself.

"Li Wenyin! Do you know how handsome you were just now?!"

"Well," Li Wenyin smiled shyly, "I do know."

She was confident, brave, and fearless, and she heard the cheers that suddenly erupted after the silence.

"Burning the college flag—that's certainly the first time in history," Pei Yuan asked. "How did you manage to conjure the flag again afterward? What kind of magic did you use?"

Li Wenyin smiled mysteriously: "It's a secret."

-

This goes back to a month ago, before Li Wenyin entered the Obsidian Academy. In order to get a chance to enroll, she accidentally cut up the materials for the Poppy Academy's flag.

She was reported to the student council and then put in solitary confinement for reflection.

While reflecting in the solitary confinement room, Li Wenyin asked the student council president who was supervising her how she should be compensated for cutting down the Poppy Academy's flag.

Yu Chiquan told her that she didn't need to worry about that, as the materials for the damaged college flag had already been disposed of.

The college flag symbolizes the college's glory and represents the students. There will always be a flag flying on the flagpole, just like the students' continuous vitality.

The important thing is not that Li Wenyin cut up the Poppy Academy's flag materials, but that what she did was somewhat desecrated the meaning of the Poppy Academy's honor.

He spoke gently and kindly, and at first glance, his words didn't seem to have any special meaning; they were just words of comfort.

But Li Wenyin, with her skillful and daring mind, wondered after hearing Yuchi Quan's words if this wasn't a spiritual statement, but rather meant... that there was some kind of magic on the flagpole or the college flag.

If one school flag disappears completely, another will appear, ensuring that there is always a flag that will always be flying.

Whenever Li Wenyin passed by, she could see the college flag always at the top of the flagpole, and it was always intact, no matter the wind or sun.

This further solidified his belief that there must be some kind of magic on it.

Once this side is burned, the next side will surely appear.

This is an extremely bold guess.

Apart from Li Wenyin, no one dared to think that way. Even if someone guessed a little, they would never dare to try it.

But Li Wenyin dared.

She wanted to test her ideas in front of everyone; she wanted to burn the flag to ashes like wildfire, all to explore the curiosity in her heart.

Anyway... at worst, I'll just embarrass the entire Kokuyo Academy and end up in solitary confinement!

Fortunately, Li Wenyin guessed correctly.

-

The flagpole is very tall, and if your eyesight is good and there are no buildings to block the view, students in the college's teaching buildings can see the college flag at the top.

Mu sat on the classroom windowsill, holding a carton of milk, looking in the direction of the school flag.

The somewhat obstructive raven then approached.

"Aren't you curious about who will be the flag bearer for our college during the flag-raising ceremony?"

"Li Wenyin," Mu said with certainty.

He saw that the flag on the flagpole of Obsidian Academy was brand new, a completely new flag that succeeded its predecessor, Xiaozong.

"Oh? So sure?" Wu Ya smiled and glanced out the window. "You revealed the secret of our school flag?"

"No," Mu tilted his head and thought for a moment, "...maybe?"

Wu Ya chuckled and sighed, "How could you tell everyone so easily? It involves our school's secrets; you should at least keep it a secret."

Mu stared intently at the school flag: "I didn't say anything; she figured it out herself."

Under any circumstances, the resurrection of the dead, the rebirth of the deceased, and the inexhaustible power of magic for eternal life are all taboo.

If the world knew that there was a kind of magic that could make things regenerate perfectly and eternally after they were destroyed and exhausted, it would inevitably cause disaster.

For some reason, the school used this forbidden magic on its school flag, keeping it a secret.

Now, Li Wenyin has stumbled upon this secret.

"I just got back from watching the flag-raising ceremony."

The raven clicked its tongue in admiration.

"This year's freshmen are really something else, you should definitely go see them."

Mu looked out the window quietly.

Are they the rising suns of new life?

He smiled gently.

-

I was overjoyed that the first flag-raising ceremony of the new semester did not embarrass the college, but I was devastated when I struggled with the first exam of the month.

Li Wenyin walked out of the examination room with a bitter face.

Groups of students were still gathered in twos and threes in the corridor, checking their answers.

Li Wenyin overheard several times, and her heart sank. She quickly got up and went to find a quiet place.

On the way, I ran into Zi Sangtang.

The flag bearer who represented Poppy House on stage in the morning was a senior student who liked to transform her school uniform into a Hanfu style.

"Li Wenyin?"

Zi Sangtang called out her name with some surprise.

"Hmm?" Li Wenyin stopped. "Senior Zisang? Are you also taking the exam around here?"

Zi Sangtang smiled and said, "We are both first-year students, why do you call me senior?"

"I enrolled a few days later than you, so it's only right that I call you 'senior'," Li Wenyin said. "Senior Zisang, how did you feel about that History of Magic exam just now?"

"Hmm...not good."

Li Wenyin breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that everyone felt the same way as her; the root of the problem was that the history of magic exam was just too difficult!

Zi Sangtang continued, "If one year is filled in incorrectly, you might not get full marks."

Li Wenyin: "..."

"What a pity," Zi Sangtang said again, "the test was much easier than I expected. I thought a perfect score was a certainty."

Li Wenyin: "..."

She's finishing off the enemy! She's still finishing them off!

However, Li Wenyin couldn't show any fear when she entered the room. She had to pretend to be confident and say that she felt the same way.

At the end of the conversation, Zi Sangtang said, "Li Wenyin, I really enjoyed your flag-raising ceremony. I hope to face you in the inter-school competition next week."

Li Wenyin shook hands with her, and the two said goodbye.

The inter-college competition is a team competition, which is part of a large-scale examination and a great opportunity to bring glory to the college.

Teams of five or six people draw lots to determine their opponents. Two teams are drawn from two of the other three colleges, and a total of two matches are played. The winner earns one point for their college.

Finally, the academic year rankings of the four major colleges are also based on the points accumulated in each college competition.

With the rivalry between the academies so obvious, Li Wenyin certainly didn't want them to draw a very strong team.

Regarding the squads of the other three flag bearers from this morning, no, no, absolutely no.

-

On her way back to the examination hall for the next exam, Li Wenyin was thinking about Zi Sangtang.

After a brief interaction, Zi Sangtang seemed quite easy to get along with.

She is very pretty, beautiful and elegant, and her distinctive features include wearing a Hanfu school uniform and a magic wand on her head like a hairpin.

With a compound surname, her family background must be quite good. Li Wenyin recalled the plot about Zi Sangtang in the novel, and it seemed that she had only seen this name on some kind of award certificate column.

After all, Zi Sangtang is not in the same grade as the main characters of the novel, so the competition is not obvious and there is no conflict between them. Therefore, her plot description is minimal, and she is just a background character who is forgotten in the corner of the plot.

Not only Zi Sangtang, but also the other two flag raisers, Yu Lanxie and Ruiyuan, were like this—characters without names in the novel, background figures who were never mentioned.

If mentioned, it would probably just be a brief mention of an outstanding student from the previous year.

But Li Wenyin has now witnessed their brilliance and dazzling presence firsthand.

It shone brightly right in front of me.

The morning flag-raising ceremony dispelled the drowsiness of every student present, and brightly told all the students, "Look, you are pearls, you can shine brightly, your brilliance can be witnessed by heaven and earth and cannot be hidden by the sun and moon."

Even though the monthly exam gave Li Wenyin a huge headache and completely ruined her good mindset, she ran into Zi Sangtang again and recalled the flag-raising ceremony she had seen that morning. She still found it unforgettable and felt deeply moved by witnessing it with her own eyes.

Li Wenyin is growing to love magic and this school more and more.

There are so many interesting people not described in the novel, so many interesting things not mentioned in the novel, and many real people who, after getting to know Li Wenyin, feel completely different from the characters in the novel.

Whether they are friends, enemies, or classmates you just passed by.

The teenagers gathered together, radiant and energetic, busily studying and taking exams, their brilliant and spirited demeanor shining through.
