Oh no! I've become the witches' sickly, unattainable ideal man!

As Qiu Feifei was talking, she suddenly gave Su Ran some advice.

To be honest, this suggestion was quite appealing to Su Ran.

After all, she could take this opportunity to earn academic credits and save money at the same time. If she missed it, there wouldn't be another good opportunity like this in a short period of time.

Most importantly, there are quite a few people in the stadium now, so I don't need to worry about not having any opponents when I go on the court. Moreover, Bai Yun and Evelyn don't seem to have any intention of getting up and leaving.

So, Su Ran walked to an empty arena and gestured to anyone who wanted to spar with her.

Su Ran's appearance caused a stir, and it was clear that many people had already recognized who this girl was.

Su Ran, a third-year transfer student who has recently risen to fame on the North Continent Academy's intranet, broke the record for the highest magic element utilization rate and easily defeated Zhong Ji. It's hard not to be impressed by Su Ran, and it's definitely not because she's just too beautiful.

After she went on stage, a murmur of discussion arose from the audience, and Su Ran's heart pounded.

Is there really no one willing to challenge me? That can't be right. I see that quite a few people want to challenge Sister Qiuqiu too.

Just when Su Ran thought his money-making scheme was about to fall through, a petite girl walked onto the stage and stood opposite him.

Bai Yun exclaimed softly upon seeing the newcomer, "Yan Yin? Why is she back? Didn't she say she wouldn't be back until after school started?"

Many students quickly recognized the girl when she walked onto the stage.

"Yan Yin! She's back! I thought she wouldn't be back until a few days before school started. If she had been at school last time, Zhong Ji wouldn't have had a chance to make a move."

Yan Yin stepped onto the arena and stood opposite Su Ran. The two looked roughly similar in build, but the surging magical energy around her made her appear stronger than Zhong Ji.

"I heard you took care of Zhong Ji very easily. After that, I hoped to have a chance to fight you. I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon."

"Since you've stepped onto the arena, you must be here for the practical training credits, right? I happen to have quite a few credits; how about I transfer 100 to you if you win?"

To help Su Ran give her all, Yan Yin even offered her own academic credits.

Faced with such a good opportunity, Su Ran naturally had no objections and readily agreed. Qiu Feifei had already placed the bets for her, and all Su Ran needed to do was win the match.

"Alright, let's begin!"

After saying that, Yan Yin took the initiative and stomped on the ground. She shot out from her spot like an arrow, making a dazzling display of left and right thrusts.

But the target remained unchanged, pointing directly at Su Ran. Two bright silver lights flashed faintly in Yan Yin's hand.

Since Su Ran couldn't see Yan Yin's figure with her eyes, she simply gave up on observing her with her naked eyes and instead opened up her mental perception, which spread across the entire stage like a spider web. No slightest change could escape Su Ran's perception.

The delicate threads of the soul, as fine as spider silk, are touched. This sensation is fleeting, and if one doesn't realize it, most people will dismiss it as an illusion.

But Su Ran was different. Following the direction of the soul perception being touched, she conjured a solid ice wall out of thin air, blocking Yan Yin's path as she rushed forward.

With a clang, the ice wall was shattered by the dagger in Yan Yin's hand, but Su Ran seized the opportunity to exploit the opening in Yan Yin's figure.

The shattered ice wall suddenly exploded, and the arena was momentarily obscured by the spray of ice mist.

"Do you think this method will work? I also have mental perception."

Yan Yin's voice echoed through the icy mist, and a surge of her spiritual power appeared, locking onto Su Ran as she approached her.

No matter how much she struggled, Su Ran couldn't escape her grasp!

In the dense icy fog, a shadowy figure appeared behind Su Ran, wielding two daggers aimed at Su Ran's slender, white neck. If this strike landed, Su Ran would lose the arena.

"is it?"

Su Ran's voice drifted over softly.

Yan Yin knew something was wrong! She felt as if the frost from all directions had suddenly come to life and began to surge towards her.

Su Ran's purpose in blasting open the ice wall was never to obstruct her movement. Since Yan Yin misunderstood her intentions, Su Ran was happy to see it.

Her real strength lies in the ice mist formed after the ice wall explodes, which is the best stage for the Tide Mist Technique to shine.

Frost and moisture filled the entire arena space, and anyone who stayed there would be affected by both.

At this moment, Yan Yin, who was behind Su Ran, had been frozen into a human-shaped ice sculpture and crashed to the ground with a thud, causing the entire arena to tremble.

"Xiao Ran won?"

Qiu Feifei couldn't see clearly what was happening on the stage, but she saw a figure resembling Yan Yin fall to the ground. Her beautiful eyes flashed with indescribable surprise; she hadn't expected Su Ran to win so easily.

"Quickly, quick, Yang Jintao, settle the bill for me!"

As she spoke, Qiu Feifei pulled Yang Jintao aside and urged him to hurry up and pay her bill.

"Stop shaking, I'm getting dizzy. The outcome is still uncertain, don't open the champagne so soon."

Following Yang Jintao's words, Qiu Feifei looked towards the stage.

Su Ran turned her head and found that Yan Yin was not in the ice sculpture that had fallen to the ground, which meant that the latter had not been affected by her mist spell.

At the critical moment, Su Ran remained vigilant and dodged a dagger attack by shifting to the side.

"You know Yan Yin's teleportation magic; she's used it to dodge countless fatal attacks."

"In Yan Yin's opinion, it's not difficult to dodge an attack like Su Ran's, which is a slow and erosive one."

"Unless someone is as steady and defensive as Zhong Ji, Yan Yin will find him troublesome."

After Yang Jintao reminded her, Qiu Feifei, who was initially excited, realized that Yan Yin also possessed the Instantaneous Movement Magic, a tricky type of magic.

Su Ran on the stage didn't know Yan Yin's background, but she could tell from the shattered ice shards on the ground that Yan Yin must have a way to escape.

Is it similar to the magic built into the Flash Bracelet? But it's more like an escape magic than teleportation.

In a split second, Su Ran made up her mind that since that was the case, there was no need to worry that Yan Yin would be unable to dodge in time and get hurt.

The exquisitely crafted musket fell into Su Ran's hands. The gun was decorated with rose and vine patterns, and its deep blue color indicated that it was made of ice crystals.

Two shots rang out, bullets radiating frost all over their bodies were fired, suppressing all the frost on the arena.

The soul threads on the arena still existed, and the bullets shot out followed the threads to Yan Yin's location.

"Let me see your true strength."

With only one dagger left, Yan Yin did not dodge the bullets fired by Su Ran, but instead ran straight into them.

With a bang, the first bullet was deflected by Yan Yin's dagger and, combined with her teleportation magic, moved to the edge of the arena.

However, before she could catch her breath, a second bullet came right after her.

This time, the teleportation magic was activated again to buy Yan Yin some time. She approached Su Ran and shot a spell from her fingertips, just in time to catch Su Ran turning her head.

Su Ran neither dodged nor evaded, letting Yan Yin's magic strike her face.

A pristine, icy mirror stood between the two.

The mirror magic, the same magic used to defeat Zhong Ji, is now being used by Su Ran to end this battle.

To ensure absolute safety, several ice shards appeared around Yan Yin, completely blocking her escape route.

Regardless of appearance

Chapter 401

Whether Yan Yin took a hit of her own magic or chose to dodge, she eventually faced Su Ran's ice spikes and had no way out.

Several icicles engulfed Yan Yin's figure, rendering her teleportation magic useless.

When the smoke cleared, Yan Yin reappeared, her entire body submerged in the arena, its surface covered with ice crystals.

The only part of Yan Yin's body that could move was her eyes. The frost that Su Ran used did not cause her any real harm, but being frozen in place without being able to move was not a good experience for Yan Yin.

The only one still standing on the stage is Su Ran; she has undoubtedly won this match.

"I'll come back to challenge you again after school starts."

After lifting Yan Yin's frozen status, she readily and decisively transferred 100 credits to Su Ran.

Su Ran received the money she had won in the student council from Qiu Feifei, making a fortune this time.

The only downside was that the match against Yan Yin was so quick that the student council kept lowering their odds, meaning they could only make money this once with the same method.

At the same time, because the match against Yan Yin was one-sided, not many people were willing to go on stage to continue giving Su Ran credits.

"I should have hidden it a little longer."

With no one challenging her, Su Ran could only purse her lips and leave.

"Be content. After school starts and people from other classes come back, there might be people who are willing to spar with you."

Qiu Feifei rolled her eyes at Su Ran when she heard her words. Based on Su Ran's performance on the stage, even five of her combined might not be able to beat Su Ran.

All the magic is almost instantaneous, requiring no preparation whatsoever. For students, it's far too overpowered; an ordinary student would just be giving Su Ran credits.

"I was just saying that."

As Su Ran and Qiu Feifei talked, they walked toward where Bai Yun and Evelyn were.

"It's almost time, Evelyn, shall we go back?"

As soon as Su Ran approached Evelys, she unceremoniously plopped down in the seat next to her.

The visit to Beizhou College took up the whole afternoon, and it's almost 6 p.m. Now if we go back, we can get back to Jiangbei Hotel before dinner.

"Have you had enough fun?"

Eve tilted her head.

"I'm here to have fun?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran's tone suddenly rose.

I came to North Continent Academy to do serious business, how can you say I came here to play?

"First they came to see an injured student, then they toured the school, and finally they even went into the ring and got into a fight themselves. Isn't this just playing around?"

Eve, expressionless, started counting on her fingers in front of Su Ran, breaking down and analyzing every single thing that had happened to Su Ran since she came to Beizhou Academy. Su Ran was somewhat ashamed after listening to her.

From Eve's perspective, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with her saying she came to North Continent Academy for fun.

"If you say so, then it is."

Unable to refute, Su Ran could only puff out her cheeks and cross her arms in front of her chest.

Seeing Su Ran and Evelyn getting along, Bai Yun looked at them with some surprise. After spending some time together, Bai Yun had begun to get used to their way of interacting.

"But Xiao Ran is right, it's time for us to go back to the hotel."

Eve abruptly changed the subject, making a complete 180-degree turn, and then bid farewell to Bai Yun.

When Evelis wanted to leave, Bai Yun did not try to stop her. Instead, she got up and led the way, preparing to take them away from the main gate of the academy.

Seeing that Su Ran was about to leave, some students finally couldn't hold back and stood up.

Su Ran's eyes lit up. Could it be that she wanted to spar with me? Did she rush over to stop me because she saw me leaving?

"Su Ran, wait a minute!"

Just as Su Ran had expected, things did indeed begin when she was called out, and everyone's attention was focused on this female classmate who dared to stand up.

"What can I do for you, classmate?"

The girl in front of her was wearing glasses and holding an autograph board, and Su Ran immediately had a bad feeling.

The female classmate's subsequent remarks further confirmed Su Ran's premonition.

"Su Ran, you look very familiar. Are you Ran, the popular maid from Sakura Cafe? You both have the character 'Ran' in your names. It can't be a coincidence!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran's expression froze, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment. The three people who knew the truth also had different expressions on their faces.

Eve remained expressionless. According to the established setting, she did not know that Su Ran had worked as a maid at Sakura Cafe, so she silently observed everything.

Compared to Eve, Bai Yun wore a mocking expression, as if she were watching a good show and waiting for Su Ran's performance and explanation.

"You actually knew about this?"

Compared to the previous two, Qiu Feifei completely exposed Su Ran's true colors, leaving him with absolutely nothing.

Wheat is so fast.

Upon receiving a positive answer from Qiu Feifei, the female classmate's eyes lit up, and she immediately grabbed Su Ran's hands: "Sakura Cafe has been closed lately, and I haven't been able to see Xiao Ran. Could you please give me your autograph, Su Ran?"

Faced with the enthusiastic female classmate, Su Ran had no reason to refuse, so she picked up a pen and signed her name on the signature board.

With the first person taking the lead, the rest of the students followed suit and lined up.

Su Ran never refused any student who came to ask for her autograph, and she always obliged.

"Su Ran, I heard you're a master of Naruto, could you teach me?"

Another girl suddenly asked a question after Su Ran finished signing her name.
