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

"Is Xiaofeng still unable to break free of the magic circle and chant spells independently?" the witch asked.

Mu Feng nodded awkwardly: "I can only use the magic array to chant incantations after I've drawn the array. If I chant incantations and cast spells alone, the magic power will run wild in my body and flow down involuntarily."

Upon hearing this, Li Wenyin suddenly said in a profound and enigmatic tone, "You... you've lost your composure!"

Listening to Li Wenyin, who seemed to know quite a bit, Mu Feng looked over curiously: "What do you mean? What do you mean?"

Li Wenyin rhymed, "Then, he'll fart!"

"............"

The other three people present fell silent, staring at her quietly.

"I'm joking."

Under the gaze of the three people, Li Wenyin shrank her neck uncomfortably.

"I'm never joking again."

-

Wu Ya adjusted his monocle thoughtfully, stared at Mu Feng, and said, "This isn't good for your studies, little Feng Feng. Adding an extra step of drawing a magic circle greatly reduces the real-time nature of casting magic."

Upon hearing this, Mu Feng slumped down, resting his chin on the table, looking utterly dejected.

"but......"

Wu Ya and Li Wenyin spoke at the same time.

Li Wenyin shrank her neck and glanced at Teacher Wu Ya. Wu Ya smiled and asked her to speak first.

So Li Wenyin spoke first.

"But, Senior Mu Feng, you can automatically convert spells into magic circles in your mind without any teacher, so why don't you make good use of this talent?"

This is the genius of Mu Feng, the magic array prodigy in the novel.

He doesn't need anyone to teach him; as long as he sees a spell, he can automatically know how to draw its magic circle. And the magic used through the magic circle is much more effective than casting spells by simply chanting the incantation.

Wu Ya paused slightly, his monocle reflecting light as he squinted and smiled at Li Wenyin, suddenly becoming very interested in the girl he had picked up.

Mu Feng looked at Li Wenyin with surprise and suspicion: "Hey, junior, how did you know?"

Li Wenyin: "I have discerning eyes."

"You have this talent?" Pei Yuan chimed in. "Then you should specialize in magic arrays from now on."

"But isn't this a burden—who specializes in magic circles these days?"

Mu Feng muttered listlessly.

"The spells that others can perform by simply chanting a mantra in their minds, I have to spend time drawing them out; they're outdated."

"You're going in the wrong direction," Li Wenyin advised. "You shouldn't be thinking about how to change your habit of using magic arrays, but rather how to quickly draw magic arrays."

Mu Feng: "What?"

"I agree with Xiaoyinyin's opinion."

Suddenly, the raven spoke up, looking at them with a smile.

Mu Feng raised his head: "Teacher Wu Ya, you say so too?"

"Since you have such talent, why not try to go down this path completely? No need for pen and ink, just use your wand to draw arrays directly in the air. The speed will increase as you practice, and it will be no different from chanting spells, plus you'll get a significant boost."

Wu Ya smiled and spoke patiently.

Li Wenyin nodded deeply; she shared the same thought, and Mu Feng was the right person for this role.

In the novel, it seems that Mu Feng realized this truth himself in the second semester of his first year, after taking the wrong path for half a year and wasting half a year of his studies.

Now that she's helped push things forward, hopefully Mu Feng won't have his Dao heart shattered when he meets the male lead in the future.

This can be considered a thank you gift for him using the magic circle that restored the wild boar's ability to eat.

It's just that the name is really unpleasant to hear; if only Li Wenyin hadn't been told it.

With Teacher Wu Ya's approval, Mu Feng perked up again.

-

The practical application of classroom teaching results is still indispensable.

Let's start with Mu Feng, who found his own path of specialization.

Mu Feng still couldn't draw a magic circle directly with his wand. He hesitated for a long time, then drew a magic circle on the flowerpot with a pen, and then gently touched the magic circle with his wand to infuse it with magic power.

Teacher Wuya said that the plant magic spells he taught were basic spells, and each person could conjure up different plants, depending on their own imagination and mastery.

A tender green sprout emerged from Mu Feng's flowerpot.

Mu Feng was overjoyed: "Teacher, I did it!"

Pei Yuan and Li Wenyin immediately leaned over to look.

Could he really be a genius?

The tender green sprout grew taller and taller at a rapid pace, and its leaves gradually took on a shape, with contours and curves, eventually growing into the shape of a woman's body.

This plant doesn't look like a plant at all; it looks more like a woman figurine woven from leaves and growing in a flowerpot.

Li Wenyin and Pei Yuan both fell silent.

Mu Feng was stunned: "What's going on?"

The raven explained with a smile, "Plant magic is based on the appearance of the plants you envision, and it is closely related to the thoughts in your heart."

It means that Mu Feng is thinking about women.

Li Wenyin: "Oh my, senior, you..."

Pei Yuan: "Pah, you lowly man."

"I didn't! I didn't!" Mu Feng waved his hands frantically, his face flushed red. "I clearly meant for a flower to grow!"

Li Wenyin chuckled, "I understand, beauties are like flowers."

"Get down here, and don't tell anyone I'm your classmate when you get out of here," Pei Yuan said, kicking him while he was down.

"What the hell, you two!" Mu Feng said angrily, his face flushed as he looked at them.

The raven explained cheerfully, "It's not that the main idea will affect the magic. It's normal for beginners to be influenced by insignificant distracting thoughts when they first start using magic."

Teacher Wuya cleared Mu Feng's name, and Mu Feng was moved to tears.

He yelled, "Did you hear that! I really didn't think of it! It's just that this impression was in my head!"

"I understand, I understand," Li Wenyin patted his shoulder, "He's just a young man."

Pei Yuan shook his head and sighed: "If it were just a private matter, I could let it go, but in class, I can't say anything."

Mu Feng was speechless with anger, his face flushed red, and he stared at the two of them with wide eyes, his ears practically steaming with rage.

Li Wenyin and Pei Yuan laughed happily.

Seeing the three of them bickering, Wu Ya wasn't angry at all. Instead, he watched with a smile, then offered some advice:

"Actually, the appearance of a plant is not important. What matters is its essence. Little Maple, use your magic to investigate. The plant you created only has an outer shell and no core. In other words, it is just a shell with the appearance of a green plant. It is not a plant, let alone a magical plant."

Upon hearing this, Mu Feng looked at it intently, seemingly lost in thought.

Wu Ya laughed and said, "It's nothing serious. Try practicing more and grasp the secrets."

-

It was Li Wenyin's turn.

Under the watchful eye of Teacher Wuya, Li Wenyin nervously gripped her newly acquired magic wand, silently chanting a spell in her mind.

Magical plants? What exactly qualifies a plant as a magical plant, and what kind of appearance is considered ideal?

Classic magical plants... classic magical plants...

Li Wenyin hesitated for a moment before casting the spell.

Several large green leaves sprouted from her flowerpot, then a thick stem grew out, and finally a huge... pea-like thing appeared on top.

But this pea was very strange; it had a wide-open mouth, two eyes squeezed out of its face, and a small green leaf fell behind it.

After it fully grew out, it was still gently swaying in the flowerpot.

This is......

Li Wenyin was dazed.

Peashooter!

Pei Yuan and Mu Feng stood on either side of the crowd, watching.

"Junior, why does your plant look so ugly?" Mu Feng stared at it.

Pei Yuan complained, "It looks really weird."

"That's a Peashooter, it's so cute," Li Wenyin said curiously. "Isn't there a Plants vs. Zombies game in this world?"

Pei Yuan and Mu Feng looked at her with confusion.

It seems there isn't one.

Li Wenyin felt a pang of nostalgia looking at it; she hadn't seen the plants from Plants vs. Zombies for many years, and seeing them now brought back a sense of familiarity, like being back in her hometown.

Mu Feng trembled at the sight of Li Wenyin's satisfied and gratified expression.

What's cute about this thing? A plant with a human face and dull, beady black eyes—it's enough to trigger the uncanny valley effect in him, yet the little girl thinks it's cute? How...how scary.

"The taste is quite unique, but unfortunately, like Xiao Fengfeng's problem, it only has an outer shell and no core," Wu Ya commented.

Li Wenyin also thought so.

My pea shooter only shakes mindlessly and doesn't shoot peas; I need to find a way to make it shoot peas.

Finally, there's Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan performed the best; he conjured a small white flower. Teacher Wu Ya commented that his small white flower was the only one among the three that was a real plant, containing the core of a plant.

However, its drawback lies in its ordinariness; it's just a plant, without any magical effects.

Finally, the class ended, and Teacher Wuya gave them a task: to figure out how to improve the method within three days and successfully grow magical plants using plant magic. He would come to check on them three days later.

That's considered homework.

The three of them gathered together to discuss and even named their plants: Pei Yuan's Little White Flower, Li Wenyin's Pea Shooter, and Mu Feng's Enchanting Beauty Plant.

Mu Feng strongly protested against the name, but Li Wenyin and Pei Yuan smiled and said no, the name was particularly suitable.

-

After finishing their classes at Kokuyo Academy, they still had to attend general education classes.

General education classes are held in the common teaching building, and students from the four academies attend together. The content includes things like the history of magic, basic spells, basic potion-making, and mental health education for wizards.

The difference between general education courses and college-specific courses lies in elective courses and major courses. College students mainly take college-specific courses, but they should not neglect general education courses.

Pei Yuan was a second-year student, so he didn't take the general classes with them anymore; Mu Feng and Li Wenyin went instead.

While walking, Li Wenyin and Mu Feng were still discussing that unfortunate magical plant.

But once they stepped outside Obsidian House, discordant voices began to emerge.

"It's her? She's really been admitted to the hospital?"

"This is probably the first time since the school was founded; it's a huge exception."

"Does she have any connections? Why did the school make an exception for her?"

"If I remember correctly, wasn't she a special student? She has no magical background, so does she possess some amazing talent?"

"If someone has amazing talent, how could they not be assigned to a college by the Fluorescent Panel?"

"Could they have used some underhanded methods...?"

Mu Feng grew impatient.

He glared at the people next to him who were covering their mouths and gossiping.

"Hey, what are you saying? Want to fight?!"

The group of people who had been talking immediately fell silent and shoved each other as they left.

"Alright, senior," Li Wenyin stopped him, "You can't keep acting so belligerently and impulsively, or you'll suffer a great loss in the future."

If she meets the male lead next year, she'll suffer a terrible fall.

Mu Feng stubbornly hugged his magic wand.

"I just can't stand students from other departments complaining about people from our department."

He is still a student under Teacher Wuya, just like him now!

Upon hearing this, the few remaining Obsidian Academy students in the corridor sharpened their gazes and glared at the people around them who were discussing Li Wenyin.

Regardless of what Li Wenyin did before or how she got into the academy, she is now a student of their Obsidian Academy, and students from other academies are not allowed to speculate.

Li Wenyin thought for a moment.

The novel does indeed mention that there are significant conflicts and obvious antagonisms among the students of the four academies, with each academy tending to defend its own.

They idolize and worship those who bring glory to the college, and despise those who bring shame to the college, but they do not allow students from other colleges to despise them.

It's like a sect in a cultivation novel.

For example, the main characters of the novel all entered Canghai Academy together, formed a group to make Canghai Academy famous and bring glory to it, and became big stars of Canghai Academy.

"It's alright, I'm shameless. These little storms can't shake my firm resolve," Li Wenyin said confidently.

Mu Feng said, "You can't tolerate students from other academies. We're all from the Obsidian Academy."

"That's narrow-minded. Being shameless isn't about tolerance; it's my weapon."

Seeing that Mu Feng didn't quite understand what she was rambling about, Li Wenyin started to boast boldly.

"Nangong Zhi, you know Senior Nangong, right?"

"I know," Mu Feng nodded blankly. "A third-year senior from Canghai Academy, a very impressive person. He's not a member of the student council, but he became an unofficial member of the student council early on."

Li Wenyin patted her chest and said, "You've heard about what happened between me and Senior Nangong, haven't you?"

"I've heard about it," Mu Feng nodded. "I saw the scuffle at your college division ceremony, and I've also heard that you've been haunting him ever since."

"Hey~" Li Wenyin waved her hand, "That's because you only know one side of the story."

Mu Feng's curiosity was piqued.

"How so?"

Li Wenyin started bragging: "Look, Senior Nangong is so aloof and cold, yet I can keep pestering him. What does that prove? It proves that our relationship is not shallow, that I'm special. To tell you the truth, Senior Nangong is one of my biggest connections in Canghai Academy!"

Mu Feng was speechless.

He stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, actually swayed by Li Wenyin's impeccable logic.

Wow, I didn't know you were this amazing.

Li Wenyin nodded: "Of course."

Then, the next second.

They walked side by side at the next step around the corner of the corridor.

Then they encountered Nangong Zhi walking towards them.

Li Wenyin: "..."

Nangong Zhi's icy gaze swept across her face, his superior perspective revealing his familiar impatience, indifference, and disdain.

Just as Li Wenyin was filled with anticipation, thinking that he must not have heard, Nangong Zhi spoke up:

"Am I a major connection for your Canghai Academy?"
