Magic High School.

"Finally finished. So, can we eat it in about ten days?" Valerie said, holding a shovel.

"Probably. I'll cook it for you myself once the food is ready." Looking at the dishes, Li Ge once again felt a sense of satisfaction from her DNA.

"You can cook? Dude, I didn't know that." Yi Lian teased Li Ge. "Then I won't go to the cafeteria tomorrow night. I'll buy some groceries and have you cook."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Li Ge refused outright. He was indeed a good cook, but he was forced to do so. After all, he had traveled back to the Holy Empire, where the food was truly indescribable. Can you imagine that someone could surpass 99% of people with just jam mixed with lettuce? How desperate must the food culture of this country be?

The school food wasn't great, but it was at least better than what the Holy Empire had.

It was in this environment that Li Ge developed the habit of cooking for herself.

"It's getting late, let's go back." After saying that, Xiaoye prepared to drag Valerie back to the dormitory.

"Please take care, sir!" Li Ge continued spouting nonsense.

"Then I won't come next time." Xiao Ye immediately followed up by contradicting Li Ge's nonsense.

"Tsk..."

……

For the next few days, they spent their time in such a fulfilling yet intense atmosphere.

The morning classes are "Introduction to Magic" and "Basic Knowledge of Noble Phantasms," which are basically pure theoretical classes, while the afternoon classes are various practical training sessions.

Li Ge underwent gravity field training, escape training, and intelligence analysis training. After this period of time, Li Ge felt that if he were to throw his magic seal into the chaotic world, he might be able to escape and hide in a place where no one could find him.

Although it's unclear why the school has such high requirements for the escape abilities of intelligence personnel, and even offers special escape training courses.

As for gravity training, Li Ge is now able to walk slowly in a 3x gravity environment to exercise all the muscles in his body.

During this period, there were no more practical training sessions that required team formation, but there were still plenty of various preliminary training exercises.

Li Ge often complained that this was no longer a small test every three days or a big test every five days, but rather a daily in-class quiz.

No, who made magic schools so rigorous? Do you think senior year students are too relaxed?

Li Ge's biggest complaint these days is about the school's system.

A week later, Li Ge even felt as if she had lived through another world.

In just one week, he was able to train briskly in a 3x gravity field, and his escape ability was rated as excellent. Intelligence analysis was also his comfort zone.

He also added a new course, "long-range shooting course".

It all started when Valerie casually remarked during a dinner party, "Aren't we a bit lacking in long-range firepower?"

So Li Ge added a long-range shooting course, mainly because he felt he needed to improve his self-defense capabilities. Not for the sake of how much damage he could inflict, but at least to be able to protect himself, and incidentally to supplement the team's long-range capabilities.

The effect was surprisingly good. Li Ge's shooting skills were not great, but Lion's Eye would directly mark the label on the field of vision, so Li Ge could point the gun at the label without thinking and guarantee a headshot every time.

The shooting instructor thought he had struck gold and even wanted to convert Li Ge from an intelligence officer into a full-time gunner or sniper.

However, Li Ge rejected him.

After every six days of classes, there is a day off, which is called God's Sunday and is a day of rest for everyone.

When Li Ge heard the news of the holiday, his lips twitched. The feeling of being a senior in high school was even stronger. However, his senior year in his previous life was even more outrageous. He had 13 days of classes before getting a day off.

After a few days, Li Ge also discovered that the vegetables she bought were indeed growing very quickly.

The peas have already formed pods, the watermelons have already produced fruit, the sunflowers have already blossomed, and the cabbages are ready to eat.

So, after training today, Li Ge decided not to eat the terrible cafeteria food anymore and instead cooked for himself.

This move naturally garnered the approval of everyone else.

After all, they wanted to see Li Ge's cooking skills; at the very least, it wouldn't be worse than the school cafeteria food, right?

So the group decided to have dinner together in Li Ge and Yi Lian's dormitory that night. Of course, the vegetables from the garden alone were not enough, so they also needed to prepare other ingredients.

After class, the group wasn't in a hurry and decided to go buy some groceries together.

The school does have places that sell lettuce and meat, quite a few of them. Although it may sound a bit abstract, they can indeed buy a lot of ingredients there.

As the group carried large and small bags of groceries toward the Blue Dormitory, Valerie excitedly twirled around in circles.

She had been waiting for this day for so long, and she was determined to eat her fill today.

"Oops, I'm sorry!" Seemingly overly excited, she seemed to lose her balance and accidentally bumped into someone else.

"You..." The person who was hit was still holding a magic book, which fell straight to the ground.

He immediately got up angrily, dusted off his clothes, and his friends seemed to have noticed their teammate fall and came over.

"I'm so sorry," Valerie apologized with a silly grin. She had indeed moved too much and lost her grip on the meat.

"Tsk, so he's just a guy from the Yellow Dorm, and a Noble Phantasm user at that..." the person muttered, seemingly looking down on the people from the Yellow Dorm.

Xiaoye and Valerie's expressions instantly fell.

This is the Blue Dormitory area, and their yellow school uniforms are already quite conspicuous.

"Never mind, they've already apologized."

"Alright then." The man seemed to notice the sword badge on Li Ge and the others, and muttered under his breath, "A bunch of guys who've gotten so dazed from playing in wheelchairs..."

Chapter 23 Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird, Life Isn't Easy

"Awakening a toy by luck, and you really think you're a mage..." Although the words were spoken very softly, they were heard by Li Ge, Xiao Ye, and even Yi Lian, who all had keen senses.

This one sentence dealt a devastating blow to them all.

It was just an accident. Valerie apologized, and the other party complained at most, and that was it, since this was the Blue Dormitory area.

However, his previous statement about "looking dazed while using a wheelchair" was actually quite offensive.

Li Ge looked at his badge, which was shaped like a book, a traditional badge.

The emblems for the three major departments are: the sword for the Noble Phantasm faction, the book for the traditional faction, and the monocle for the mystical faction.

Among them, the mystical school is relatively closed and secretive; they seem to prefer to shut themselves away and tinker with their own mystical and superstitious things.

However, the traditionalists and the Noble Phantasm faction had more frequent contact, which led to some friction.

For example, on campus forums, if someone says something like "traditionalists are all test-taking experts" or "those who use magic weapons are all so engrossed in using wheelchairs that their eyes are glazed over," the post will quickly start a heated debate, arguments, and even an online war.

So Li Ge immediately frowned, and his golden eyes lit up. Xiao Ye slowly connected with his shadow. As for Yi Lian, he seemed to be searching for something. Then he immediately blocked Valerie's way and said with a mocking expression, "Who do we have here? It's a senior who's about to be kicked out of the Blue Dorm! I remember your average score is already below 75."

These words seemed to completely ignite the other party, whose face instantly turned as red as a monkey's bottom, as if he had instantly entered a state of blood rage and intense heat.

"Do you know him?" Li Ge asked quietly.

“I know him. When I first came to Blue Dorm, he sold exam preparation guides and acted as a ‘senior’ to brag to the freshmen. But when I looked him up, I found out he was a second-year student, but his grades were about to drop out of Blue Dorm, and he still wanted to maintain appearances in front of others,” Yi Lian whispered.

The school's dormitories are not fixed. They are evaluated every six months. Those with an average score of 80 or above are kept in blue dormitories, those with a score between 60 and 80 are in yellow dormitories, and those with a score below 60 are in red dormitories.

Furthermore, the school focuses more on the average score, so Valerie and Xiaoye were able to be promoted to the Blue Dormitory if they both scored above 90 in the monthly and midterm exams.

According to Yilian's intelligence, his average score has reached 75 points. For a second-year student, unless he gets close to full marks in the next exam, he can only retain his right to stay in the blue dormitory. Otherwise, he will have to be transferred to the yellow dormitory.

As for his seemingly internet-savvy personality, his opening line was something like, "I've been playing with my wheelchair so much that my eyes have gone glazed over"...

Li Ge looked at him with her lion-like eyes, and without any hesitation, opened the box and checked the ingredients.

[Student], [Traditionalist Monk], [Demerit/Disciplinary Action], [Destroyed Treasure].

It seems this senior has quite a story. Although Li Ge only saw these four tags, the two tags, "Disciplinary Action" and "Destroyed Treasure," made Li Ge instantly imagine a whole story.

At the same time, Li Ge could understand why he exploded at the slightest provocation. This person was probably already on the verge of exploding because of the disciplinary action and the damage to his treasure. In addition, he was about to fall into the Yellow Dormitory and saw Valerie and Xiaoye wearing the Yellow Dormitory's uniforms, which made him furious.

And the long-standing disdain of traditional mages towards those who rely on Noble Phantasms...

In an instant, the senior student became like a powder keg that had been lit, his eyes bloodshot and his breathing labored.

While she understood, Li Ge wouldn't indulge him. She stood up directly and stood with Yi Lian, saying, "I'm sorry, I have a treasure, and my treasure is a wheelchair. I've played with wheelchairs so much that I've lost my mind. Do you have one?"

In fact, to outsiders, Li Ge's words were just a normal retort, and the retort was not even very strong; it sounded like she was being coquettish.

When traditional mage players on the forum say that those who rely on Noble Phantasm attacks are "playing with wheelchairs until their eyes are glazed over," those who rely on Noble Phantasm attacks often retort directly: "I have a wheelchair, why shouldn't I play with it?"

I already have a wheelchair. If I don't use it to play magic, how can I become a grandmaster?

However, these words struck his most sensitive nerve precisely, because his Noble Phantasm was damaged and he didn't know if it could be repaired, and at the same time, he was about to fall into the Yellow Dormitory.

Li Ge's simple words were a hundred times more damaging than Valerie's accidental knock and Yi Lian's sarcastic remarks. It was like a critical hit to his heart and soul, causing him to bleed continuously.

It's like taking your father-in-law to a brothel or taking a cripple for a run.

This seemed to have completely enraged the senior student. His eyes turned bloodshot, he was panting heavily, and roared, "You're asking for it! You're sick in the head!"

"Third brother, third brother, don't get excited, they're using Noble Phantasm techniques!"

"Garlic bird, garlic bird, Third Brother, you can't beat them."

"Third brother, you're in bad shape right now, and you're still a traditionalist. Those with Noble Phantasm-based attacks could knock your dinner out..."

"Garlic birds, garlic birds, life isn't easy for anyone..."

His teammates kept stopping him, telling him not to be impulsive. After all, if the traditional build were to go head-to-head with the Noble Phantasm build, the Noble Phantasm build would be laughing all the way to the bank. Even though they were a year older, they knew their own strengths and weaknesses.

At the same time, Xiaoye helped Valerie up and said, "It's nothing, just a clown."

"You...you!" He seemed genuinely angry, but having calmed down a bit, he didn't dare mention the fight.

“If there’s a problem, we can schedule a time. I’ll be at the training ground, waiting for you, senior. See you there,” Li Ge replied.

This one sentence seemed to kill the game. The senior was pulled away by his teammates and left the spot amidst repeated "Garlic bird, garlic bird" pleas.

It seems that on their way away, they said things like "You've already found your way to death," "You're a born evil brat who relies on Noble Phantasms," and "You have absolutely no respect for your senior," filling the air with a cheerful atmosphere...

But no matter how you look at it, it's just the lament of a defeated dog.

After the farce ended, Li Ge didn't even bother to look at this senior.

Li Ge even felt a little relieved. Wow, finally met a total idiot! During her time at school, Li Ge felt that everyone she met and everyone she came into contact with was pretty good and spoke nicely. She really felt like she was living in heaven. During the Teletubbies time, she even felt a sense of unreality.

I've finally met an idiot! I knew it! No matter how good an organization or society is, there will always be fools. And today I finally met one. It's not easy!

And that's how the sense of realism comes about.

Yi Lian nudged Li Ge and said, "Li Ge, you've got some skills. Why is it that your two seemingly harmless sentences actually broke that guy's defenses?"

Li Ge didn't answer directly, but looked at Valerie, who seemed somewhat guilty: "Let's continue our dinner. Don't worry about this. It's just a senior who might be expelled trying to maintain his last bit of privilege."
