Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Fighting with someone seems incredibly childish and immature.

However, when Wang Yi thought about his current identity: a fifteen or sixteen-year-old blond kid, it suddenly felt reasonable.

Damn it, how many more time bombs has Wang Yi planted for himself?!

Grass (a type of plant)!

However, this Zombie King has quite a few connections; he was able to smooth things over. And this Qi Xiaohao, from what I can see, is a rich second-generation with a sharp tongue and no backbone.

I think I have a good relationship with these people; I can feel their concern for me between the lines.

The messages kept popping up, and Zombie King Jiang Chen successfully steered the conversation toward the duel.

The domineering and imposing Qi Xiaohao: "Bullshit, do you think my brother E is a coward?"

My favorite is chestnut rice: "Everyone in my circle of girlfriends is saying that Wang Yi and Wu Guan's duel was because of Fang Yu. Is it true or false?"

The domineering and imposing Qi Xiaohao said, "Of course it's true! Manager Wu actually dared to steal my E-ge's woman! He's really ungrateful! If we don't take him down, who will we take down!"

Learning makes me happy: "Wu Guan is an offensive mage who has successfully absorbed common spells such as Fireball and Lightning Spear. He might even have rare-grade spells hidden away. His output is explosive, and he excels at soloing."

Favorite: Chestnut Rice: "And also, Wu Guan's academic performance is consistently among the top five in the first-year high school class."

The domineering and powerful Qi Xiaohao said, "So what if he's an offensive mage? Aren't I one too? Who's afraid of who? Just wait for Brother E to absorb some magic, and I'll take him down."

The domineering and imposing Qi Xiaohao said, "So what if I'm in the top five in my grade? Can I kill Brother E with a test paper? Can good grades ruin Brother E's relationship with Fang Yu?"

Zombie King Jiang Chen: "Come on, stop flattering Wang Yi. What love my ass! It's just Wang Yi relentlessly pursuing Fang Yu. Love is mutual. I'd believe you if you said Fang Yu had a crush on Wu Guan, but if Fang Yu had a crush on Wang Yi, I'd do a handstand and poop."

The domineering and imposing Qi Xiaohao: "Screenshot taken, Brother Wang, I want to see it!"

Favorite Chestnut Rice: "Screenshot taken, Brother Wang, I want to see it!"

Learning makes me happy: "Vulgar! But... I've already taken a screenshot, Brother Wang, I want to see it!"

The sapling won't grow straight without pruning: "Screenshot taken, Brother Wang, I want to see it!"

"A sapling won't grow straight without pruning." He continued, "Also, for playing on your phones during class, all four of you need to write a 5,000-word self-criticism and bring it to my office tomorrow."

Learning makes me happy: "No problem. Also, anyone who needs my help with writing, please make an appointment in advance. Same price as before, one beginner-level magic crystal. A one-month-old store, honest and trustworthy."

Zombie King Jiang Chen: "Are you kidding me? Who pulled the old teacher into this group? Are you out of your mind?!"

The domineering and powerful Qi Xiaohao: "@Little tree won't grow straight if it's not pruned, teacher, I was wrong! I'll definitely hand in the apology, please don't call my parents!"

My favorite is chestnut rice: "@Learning makes me happy, Brother Jiang Yue, can you give me a discount? QAQ"

The domineering and powerful Qi Xiaohao: "@Learning makes me happy, Lao Jiang, the self-criticism is up to you. Deduct it from my balance. Also, make one for Lily too."

My favorite is chestnut rice: "Thank you, Brother Xiaohao! (heart emoji)"

Under the tyrannical influence of their homeroom teacher, Bai Yu, the group chat finally fell into a rare silence.

Wang Yi, who had been spying on the screen, was unable to calm down for a long time.

It felt as if there was a breath stuck in my chest, something I desperately needed to exhale, but I just couldn't.

What kind of human suffering is this?

I was transmigrated into this world and they didn't let me inherit the original owner's memories, that's bad enough, I'm penniless and powerless, my parents are dead, that's bad enough, but why am I being asked to participate in some random duel?

The worst part is that this is a magical world, and the people here know magic!

Well, I'm new here. Besides being a good eater, I can also do something else!

From their conversation, we can tell that Wu Guan, our future duel opponent, is an offensive mage.

They know fireball and lightning spear spells.

What if someone conjures a fireball the size of a washbasin and slams it into my face, then unleashes a 220-volt lightning bolt? How am I supposed to fight back? With my head?

I'm not a 250-volt electrician!

Why not just admit defeat and ask the Zombie King to act as a peacemaker?

"No, I can't just back down like that. I don't think the original owner of this body is the type to back down, right? What I do next can't deviate too much from the original owner's behavior."

Thinking of this, Wang Yi felt endless sorrow again.

"I wonder if this magic is easy to learn. But my homeroom teacher said I was a star student at the magic high school, and Qi Xiaohao also said I could easily handle any magic I learned. I'm sure he wasn't exaggerating, right?"

Thinking of this, Wang Yi felt somewhat comforted.

I think I should be portrayed as someone with exceptional talent.

Moreover, the duel is scheduled for next week, so there's still some time to prepare; it's not going to be a face-to-face fight.

It's just magic, right? After a week of intensive study, I'll be able to understand all kinds of offensive magic perfectly.

Furthermore, if I fail to learn the Magic Assault skill, I can simply fight casually once the duel begins and then stubbornly admit defeat.

Surely we shouldn't be denied even the chance to admit defeat.

They're all students, a bunch of kids. You can't just go and kill them right away, can you?

This way, you can save face a little and not appear too cowardly.

At most, it's just that they were outmatched and had to back down, barely managing to maintain the original character's persona.

While Wang Yi was diligently gathering information and devising countermeasures, Bai Yu was comfortably leaning back on the reception sofa in the principal's office, holding a bottle of blue beverage in her hand.

He stared at his phone screen with a sly smile, taking sips of his drink every now and then.

The office was empty except for Bai Yu.

Just then, the sturdy wooden door to the office was suddenly pushed open, and an elderly man stepped in.

The old man looked to be around sixty years old, with short, grayish-brown hair, an upright posture, a slightly serious expression, and was dressed in a black suit, making him appear exceptionally energetic.

He wore a rectangular badge with gold lettering on his chest that read "Principal: Bai Jingting," and the school emblem of Lanling Magic High School was printed on the buttons on his cuffs.

"Grandpa."

Upon hearing the noise, Bai Yu raised her eyes. After recognizing the person, she immediately put away her phone and her cunning smile, and then greeted them.

Bai Jingting turned his gaze to Bai Yu on the guest sofa, his brows furrowing slightly, and his already serious expression became even more stern.
