It's so hard being a hero!

The male teacher's expression changed, as if he had remembered something.

"Oh, Sophia? You're the freshman with all-elemental affinity from yesterday?"

"It should be me."

The male teacher fell silent.

He did hear yesterday that they had taken in an extraordinary student this year—a twelve-year-old, bronze-level, with affinity for all elements, and all affinity levels above ninety.

At the time, I thought the data might have been overstated, but now I've seen it with my own eyes.

The surrounding students then realized what was happening and erupted in chaos.

In practical classes, there are usually several classes in session at the same time, and there are many people of different ages around.

"Holy crap, was that a fire dragon's roar just now?"

"I haven't even mastered level three yet, and she's already using level five magic?"

"She looks much younger than me."

The surrounding chatter grew louder, while the male teacher's eyes were filled with admiration.

“Sophia, since you have this ability, don’t hide it.”

He gestured toward the open space in the center of the training field.

"Show me all your skills. I'd like to see just how far your all-elemental affinity really goes."

Sophia looked at the teacher's expectant eyes and the curious eyes around her, knowing that refusing at this moment would only seem pretentious.

"OK then."

She walked to the center of the field and took a deep breath.

She unleashed all sorts of magic, including wind, earth, darkness, light, water, and lightning.

Each one is smooth and precise.

The entire training ground was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard.

The students' expressions went from shock to numbness.

The male teacher remained silent for a while before slowly asking, "Are you sure you're here to be a student, and not a teacher?"

Sophia withdrew her magic and scratched her head.

"Um, teacher, I'm just practicing casually."

"Just practicing casually?"

The male teacher's lips twitched slightly.

After teaching for so many years, this was the first time he had ever experienced what it meant to be attacked from a lower dimension.

Chapter 84 The Price of Fame

The number of onlookers at the training field is increasing.

Even students from other classes and older students gathered around.

Seeing this, Sophia sighed silently to herself.

She hadn't originally planned to be so high-profile.

But she also felt that pretending to be capable when it came to real ability was too hypocritical.

Generally speaking, third-year graduates of Tianxing Academy who graduate before the age of sixteen and reach the Bronze level are considered to be at the top of the graduation standards.

Su Lan was at this level back then.

However, not many people can reach the Bronze level at this age, because Tianxing Academy stipulates that the minimum age for enrollment is 12 years old, and most 12-year-olds are already doing well if they can reach the initial level, and are generally apprentices.

Graduating at the Bronze level at a relatively young age is already considered top-tier.

But in reality, there are relatively few students like this.

If you are at the advanced level when you enter school at age 16, but only reach the bronze level when you graduate from the third year at age 19, then you fail.

However, it also depends on the age and level of understanding at the time of enrollment, as well as the age and level of understanding at the time of graduation.

She just demonstrated the seven elements of magic: wind, fire, water, earth, light, darkness, and lightning, each starting at level three.

Some of her classmates on the training field hadn't even fully mastered level three magic yet. Seeing someone her age casually wielding level five magic was naturally a huge blow to them.

And so, Sophia dominated the atmosphere of the class for several hours.

"Alright, that's enough for today."

The diamond-level male teacher cleared his throat and announced.

"Everyone, go back and digest today's content properly, don't just focus on shocking others."

The students then seemed to snap out of their daze, but each of them couldn't help but glance at Sophia.

Someone muttered under their breath, "How can we even compete like this?"

"Stop talking, stop talking, or I'll really drop out of school."

Sophia listened to the discussions, pretending not to hear them, and packed her things to leave.

But the male teacher called her over.

"Sophia, wait a moment."

Sophia turned her head and saw the male teacher walk up to her, push up his glasses, and look a bit more serious than before.

"The seven-element magic you just cast, with its precise control and release of each element, is beyond what can be explained by mere talent."

He paused, as if carefully choosing his words.

"I'd like to ask, how long have you been practicing these spells?"

Sophia thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, I started learning when I was five years old, so it's been seven years now."

The male teacher nodded and didn't ask any more questions, but his gaze towards her was noticeably more meaningful than before.

He's been a teacher for over twenty years; what kind of geniuses hasn't he seen?

But I've never seen anyone like Sophia who could control all seven types of magic so skillfully at the age of twelve.

Some people are born to be magicians, while others are born to be monsters.

"Alright, you can go back now."

The male teacher waved his hand.

Sofia thanked them and turned to walk out of the training field.

As soon as she stepped out the door, Lilia and several of her classmates swarmed around her, their faces beaming with excitement.

"Sophia, you're amazing! That fire dragon roar was the most powerful magic I've ever seen."

A round-faced girl waved her arms and gestured.

"And that lightning, crackling and popping, it was so cool."

Another girl with a ponytail had stars in her eyes.

Lilia then took her arm and whispered in her ear, "Do you know that the other classes were practicing on the training field just now? Several second-year students were peeking at you, especially those boys, their eyes were practically glued to you."

Sofia's lips twitched.

"Are second-graders here to watch too?"

"Of course! You made such a commotion that the whole training area heard it. Who wouldn't be curious?" Lilia said matter-of-factly.

Sophia sighed inwardly.

She's about to become completely famous.

Sure enough, on her way back to the dormitory from the training ground, she could clearly feel that the students passing by were looking at her differently.

Even some senior students who looked several years older than her would slow down and take a second look at her when they passed by, their expressions filled with curiosity and scrutiny.

Sofia pretended not to know anything.

When she returned to the dormitory building, she had just stepped onto the steps and hadn't even entered the room when a somewhat arrogant voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Hey, are you the freshman named Sophia?"

Sofia stopped and turned around.

A group of students in second-year uniforms walked over from the tree-lined path next to the dormitory building.

Leading the way was a blonde girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a bright red coat.

She was more than half a head taller than Sophia, her chin slightly raised, looking down at Sophia with an air of innate superiority.

There were six or seven girls following behind him, all of them in the second grade.

Sofia's first reaction was: This person is here to cause trouble.

In a place like Tianxing Academy, where geniuses gather, if you stand out, there will definitely be people who will be dissatisfied.

Especially for those who also consider themselves geniuses, they can accept that their teacher is better than them, but it is difficult for them to accept that a peer or even someone a few years younger than them is better than them.

“Yes, that’s me,” Sophia replied calmly.

The blonde girl stopped in front of her, crossed her arms, and scanned her face with obvious scrutiny.

"My name is Isabella, I'm a second-year student in the genius class, and I'm also the princess of the Kingdom of Velt."

When she introduced herself, there was a sense of self-righteous pride in her tone.

The companions behind her also puffed out their chests, as if to match her aura.

"I heard you can use all seven types of magic? And even level five magic?"

Sophia nodded.

"Well, it's barely usable."

"Barely usable?"

Isabella chuckled, but there was a clear sense of competition in her smile.
