Magical Cat

After finally getting through get out of class, Li En wanted to try it out immediately, but Elaine grabbed her and hurriedly took her out of the classroom.

As soon as she stepped out of the classroom, Elaine subtly patted Li En's buttocks twice.

"You naughty little kitten, why are you so disobedient? I told you not to listen!"

Elaine muttered criticisms to Li En and slapped him several times before she felt somewhat relieved.

But Elaine didn't know that there was a switch on the kitten's butt.

Li En looked scared, but secretly she was overjoyed.

This is different from the pleasure of absorbing magic; it comes purely from the body's primal instincts.

Elaine watched as Li En wiggled his hips and rolled his eyes slightly upward, mistakenly thinking he was really scared, and felt a little sorry for him.

"You can't be naughty in class anymore. Professor Brian is a good teacher, and we can't cause him any trouble," Elaine said softly, as if instructing a child.

Li En, savoring the lingering sensation, nodded obediently, thinking to himself, "So that old man's name is Corbyn."

The morning's theory class is over, and there will be a practical class in the afternoon.

This is the second practical lesson I'll be attending since the last one.

Li Enke hadn't forgotten that Elaine and Weber had made a bet to settle their differences in the afternoon class.

If Elaine loses, the excellent evaluation she received in class last time will go to Weber.

But if he wins, Webber will not only have to apologize to Elaine in public, but he will also have to give her a huge sum of money, a gold coin.

During this time, Li En also learned about the local monetary system.

1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 10000 copper coins.

Elaine only spends five copper coins on a meal in the canteen.

One gold coin was enough to cover Elaine's food expenses for two whole years.

How could Elaine not be tempted by such a huge sum of money?

Excellent classroom feedback is also important to Elaine, but ultimately it doesn't carry the weight of a gold coin.

If I could get this money and send it home, it would greatly improve my family's living conditions.

Therefore, Elaine took the afternoon's bet very seriously. After lunch, she took Li En back to the dormitory and focused on meditation to adjust her state to the best.

While Elaine was meditating, Li En got out of bed and continued his experiment.

He first used his Quantitative Eye to look at his belly, but the value was still the same.

【6】

Next, Li En began to cast the wooden spike magic.

After a period of preparation, a splinter grew out of the ground.

After successfully casting a spell once, things become much easier afterwards, and it feels like the elements are much more obedient.

Li En chuckled, then looked down at his belly, and the readings had indeed changed as he had predicted.

【5】

He looked at the wooden splinter on the ground; the value was still the same as before.

【1】

"I understand. The wooden spikes do indeed show the mana consumption. This quantification eye is really useful. It shows a person's mana level and a spell's mana consumption."

After several experiments, Li En finally figured out the function of the Eye of Quantification.

Li En continued to stare at her stomach, and then saw the number change back to six after a dozen seconds.

"Hey, my mana regeneration speed is pretty fast, it must be because of my mana perception."

Then, he turned to look at Elaine, who was meditating.

Elaine's stats remained at thirteen, unchanged despite meditation.

However, through his magic perception skill, Li En was able to sense that magic was constantly gathering around Elaine, slowly expanding her magic limit.

"It seems that the precision of my Quantification Eye is not enough to quantify such subtle changes. Perhaps it will be different if it can be upgraded in the future."

Li Enke has never forgotten that both of his newly acquired skills are adorned with the word "Silver".

Either the skill can be upgraded, or there are even rarer skills.

Regardless, Li En is filled with anticipation for her future growth.

"Is this my talent as a magical beast?"

"Absolutely outstanding!"

Li En, supporting himself with the wooden spikes he had conjured, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, feeling sorry for the other magical beasts.

To be considered one of the same kind as such an outstanding being is such an injustice and a source of despair for other magical beasts.

"Hehe~"

……

In the afternoon, Elaine arrived at the training ground for the practical class on time with Li En.

However, compared to the last class, there were more than twice as many people today.

"Why are there so many people in class today?"

Li En stood on Elaine's shoulder, looking at the at least fifty or sixty people on the training field.

To improve teaching efficiency, the Royal Magic Academy distributes students from different grades across different classes.

An ideal class size is 20 to 30 students.

Large lectures like today's are truly rare.

And clearly, Li En wasn't the only one with the same question.

"Why are there so many people in class today?"

"These guys were all temporarily rescheduled to come and watch the fun."

"You mean the bet between Weber and that commoner? Is it really that serious?"

"How could it be? News of what happened in the last practical class has spread, and our grade has become a laughing stock. A commoner won first place, and the whole college is laughing at us. Those who weren't in that class are naturally indignant, saying that we good-for-nothings dragged them down and made them the laughing stock."

"Bullshit! Whoever came in, the result would be the same!" Several students who were originally in this class complained indignantly.

At this moment, someone nearby chimed in.

"What are you if not good-for-nothings? You got outplayed by a commoner in the practical magic class. You were playing in the mud when you were kids, weren't you?"

A tall, beautiful girl spoke up.

Judging from her attire, you could tell she was a wealthy woman.

The girl's profound presence, along with the other women in similarly flamboyant styles, made them all seem quite extraordinary; each of them held their heads high and looked down on others.

Li En also looked over in the direction of the sound and found that these people were all unfamiliar and obviously not his classmates.

"Barbara and the others are here too..."

The people who were being talked about immediately fell silent after seeing Barbara clearly. They dared not argue anymore, as it was obvious that she was quite tyrannical.

There was still some time before class started, and the training field was noisy as everyone talked about Webber and Elaine's bet that day.

As one of the main characters, Elaine still became the center of public opinion despite her low-key approach.

Many people made no attempt to hide their opinions about Elaine, and some even uttered some harsh words.

Barbara, in particular, stirred up quite a stir.

"Barbara, don't forget that Safina, who was first in the grade last class, also lost to that commoner. What makes you think you're better than us?"

The students who had previously been in the same class as Elaine were also belittled, and unable to bear it any longer, they started arguing with Barbara.

In their view, Elaine's performance, though unexpected, was better than the others.

Some people now say that their incompetence highlighted Elaine's supposed mediocrity, which is naturally unacceptable to them.

Barbara tossed her long blonde hair and said dismissively, "Safina only got first place in the theory classes last semester, but that doesn't mean she got first place in the practical classes either."

Ultimately, a magician's true worth lies in their practical skills; mere theoretical knowledge makes one a bookworm!

As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Safina, full of provocation.

Last semester, Safina ranked first in her grade.

Barbara is 15 points behind Safina.
