Chapter 36: Perfect Conclusion
Editor: Atlas Studios
Du Yu handed in his gems and completed his assessment mission. At 3 p.m., the school bus returned to the dilapidated school gate with a group of students.
Under Teacher Zhang Qing's lead, the students exited the car one after another. Through the school's iron gate, they also saw Old Demon Gong standing in the middle of the field with his hands behind his back.
However, there were a total of 24 people who participated in the assessment, and only 19 people returned to the campus.
Such a tragic assessment was something that the students had not expected.
What was worth mentioning was that Wei Feng actually passed the assessment successfully. He was not one of the casualties.
His teammates Lin Shihang, Zhang Qiming, and Sun Beizhi were all disqualified from the competition and had to be reforged. On the other hand, Wei Feng ran very quickly!
He had relied on the demon crystal he had obtained from joining Lin Shiyi's team to escape from danger and have the last laugh.
Such an outcome was really interesting.
More interestingly, after Du Yu boarded the school bus, he inevitably saw Wei Feng.
Wei Feng sat in the last row by the window, looking obedient. He did not dare to look at Du Yu and did not even dare to move…
"Eh? That seems to be?" Li Mengnan got out of the car and looked at the black car parked by the roadside. She saw a tall middle-aged man beside the car and couldn't help but look curious.
"Why, do you know him?" Du asked curiously.
Li frowned slightly, as if thinking hard. "I think I saw him in my mother's wedding photo."
Du Yu was speechless.
It had to be you, Li Mengnan. No normal person could say that!
When the middle-aged man saw Li Mengnan, he smiled and waved.
Li Mengnan waved dumbly as she followed the procession.
Only when they walked past the school's iron gates did she turn to look at Du Yu beside her. "In my memory, he's tall and thin and had a lot of hair."
Apparently, Li's impression of his father was still from her fourth grade.
Du Yu turned to look. "He still has quite a lot of hair now."
"You know nothing. Back then, he had long hair and looked like a rock star," Li Mengnan muttered softly.
"Du Yu!"
"Here!" Du Yu came back to his senses and hurriedly replied.
Gong Cheng looked past the students at Du Yu. "What's wrong, Class Rep Du? Did you do well? Are you arrogant now?"
"No, no."
"Then why aren't you regrouping for me?"
"Ah!" Du Yu hurried out of the crowd. "Everyone, form up!"
Gong Cheng said, "Line up in front of the teaching building and wait for the teachers to take attendance."
Du Yu said, "Yes!"
The team of less than 20 people quickly gathered in front of the school building.
Through the glass door, Du Yu could see Teacher Zhang Qing sitting in the middle with a teacher on each side. At this moment, she was still holding the information paper in her hand, as if she was studying something.
As the roll call began, the students entered one after another.
When they walked out again, most of the students were overjoyed. They also had a tactical backpack with "Demon Academy" printed on it.
Only a few students came out with backpacks, but they looked disappointed. They'd probably been reprimanded.
The students in the queue wanted to inquire about the news, but Old Demon Gong was standing at the side. The students who came out went straight to the dormitory building. No one dared to stop, making Du Yu's heart itch.
Du Yu did not expect to wait until the end.
"Du Yu, Du Yu, go in quickly." Li Mengnan, who was the second last to enter, jogged out with her backpack. She looked like she was in a beautiful mood. "Teacher is calling you."
"Okay." Du Yu took a deep breath, puffed out his chest, and walked into the interview room.
When she saw Du Yu, the smile on Zhang Qing's face widened. She was the first to speak. "Du Yu, you did well. The teachers in the academy think highly of you."
As she spoke, she looked down at the information sheet. Above it was a summary of the various teachers' observations. "Calm, sharp, decisive, and observant.
You have a good relationship with demon pets, a good foundation in archery, a certain creativity, and occasionally amazing moves."
Zhang Qing read it carefully. "The disadvantage is that when fighting together with demon pets, the combination of the two of you is not tight enough, so you are unable to unleash the advantages of the demon pets. Your close combat ability is weak, and with insufficient experience. Their physical fitness needs to be strengthened. When carrying out missions, they need to correct their attitude."
Du Yu listened carefully, but didn't comment.
Zhang Qing put down the information. "You're weak in close combat and inexperienced. This is a common problem for all archery students. After all, your high school martial arts class only requires you to stand still and shoot. But what do you have to say about attitude?"
Du Yu hesitated for a moment before saying, "My attitude is very upright. I take this assessment very seriously."
Zhang Qing nodded matter-of-factly. "I think so too. Perhaps when you and Li Mengnan first snatched the Demon Crystal, some actions seemed to be more ridiculous. Some teachers were not very satisfied."
Before Du Yu could respond, Zhang Qing continued, "I'll ask you again. Are you interested in joining the Demon Academy?"
Du Yu nodded heavily. "Yes!"
"Alright, the teachers also value you very much." Zhang Qing nodded in satisfaction. "Seven teachers have already made it clear that they want you to be their supernumerary student. This is very rare. You should be proud of yourself."
"Ah?" Du Yu was delighted at first, but then he was a little stunned. "Outside students can have mentors? Didn't you say…"
"No, most of the young people who have awakened at your age are mediocre. Even if they become supernumerary students, they are all under the control of the Demon Academy."
Zhang Qing explained patiently, "But there are also some special circumstances. It's inevitable that there will be little gold hidden in the sand. Some teachers have discerning eyes and want to reserve students in advance. The school allows it.
"After a year of training, this student will naturally belong to that teacher. Come over here. There's a list of teachers here. You can take a look."
Du Yu stepped forward and reached for the paper.
The handwriting on the top was rather elegant and pleasing to the eye. Unfortunately, Du Yu did not recognize any of the teachers' names!
Zhang Qing said, "These teachers intend to help you and guide you through the next year's training period. Take note that while you receive special treatment, the instructor will also give you additional missions. This is the requirement of the Demon Academy for special students like you.
You don't have to make a choice in a hurry. Just give me a decision when you report to the Demon Academy tomorrow and get the custom-made demon weapon."
Du Yu was delighted. "I'm an outstanding student now?"
Zhang Qing smiled and asked, "What else?"
Du Yu nodded in gratitude. "Thank you, Teacher."
"No need to thank us." Zhang Qing waved her hand. "The choice of outstanding student is in Teacher Gong Cheng's hands. He already reported your name last night."
Du Yu was a little surprised and asked in confusion, "Registered last night? But… but the graduation assessment hasn't been carried out yesterday?"
"It's indeed not in line with the rules, but Teacher Gong did report it in advance." Zhang Qing looked up at Du Yu. "Perhaps he has already finished the assessment."
Du Yu opened his mouth, and Old Demon Gong's terrifying scarred face appeared in his mind. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Coming back to his senses, he hurriedly looked down at the list of teachers in his hand and checked it carefully again. But where was Gong Cheng's name?
This…
I thought that we knew each other in our hearts, but the mentor I hoped for didn't turn around for me?
Du Yu's emotions were written all over his face, so the teachers naturally saw it clearly. Zhang Qing explained, "Due to the storm caused by the paper cranes, the number of students has soared. Teacher Gong was temporarily sent here to help.
The level of the students taught by Teacher Gong is too high. They have to be able to go to the battlefield. The two of you are not suitable, the school will not agree to it."
Du Yu was speechless.
Teacher Zhang Qing was still gentle and tactful.
'Not suitable?'
'I just don't deserve it!'
Zhang Qing's name wasn't on the teacher list either, so… he doesn't deserve it x 2?
"Get your equipment. Follow the list and check the items."
Du Yu took the tactical shoulder bag from Zhang Qing and looked at the inventory list on his bag. It was actually all wilderness survival items.
When Du Yu indicated that the inspection was correct, Zhang Qing also took out an identification document and a phone.
The palm-sized black leather wallet was open vertically. It had the feel of a police badge.
Du Yu flipped it open curiously and also saw an exquisite card. Below his profile picture were a few simple lines of information:
"Du Yu!"
Songguta City Demon Academy
Supernumerary cadets.
Number: 531163941
"With this document, you can enter the low-level Demon Realm." Zhang Qing looked at Du Yu, who looked like he had obtained a treasure, and was secretly happy for him.
This could be considered as witnessing the process of a poor child turning over.
Thinking about how the Mutated Firefox had been chosen from her, Zhang Qing felt a little involved.
Unlike how she treated the other students, Zhang Qing instructed carefully, "You must keep this identification card well. It's your ticket to gain experience. If you lose it, you'll have to spend money to get a replacement."
Du Yu nodded repeatedly. "Of course, of course. I'll definitely keep it well."
Zhang Qing handed the phone to Du Yu. "This is a cell phone distributed by the school. It has a novice-level Demon Spirit Guide. The account number is your student number and the password is 1 to 6.
The index recorded a large number of demon beasts, demonic plants, and precious fruits.
You can identify all the living beings you encounter in the Demon Realm through the index scan and understand their basic information."
Du Yu nodded repeatedly. Such a big phone screen looked very easy to crack.
Zhang Qing said, "Especially rare fruits. When you see fruits that you don't recognize, you must scan them in advance to identify them. Don't eat them indiscriminately to avoid harming you and your demon pets."
"Yes!"
Zhang Qing said, "Alright, go back to the dormitory and pack your things. The school bus will send you back to the city later."
Under Zhang Qing's urging, Du Yu could only thank her profusely and leave.
"Heh." Du Yu let out a long sigh of relief as he walked out of the school building. He looked at the school bus parked outside the metal gate and felt extremely emotional.
Three days ago, the school bus had brought him to the training base, full of trepidation.
Three days later, it was still this school bus that wanted to bring him back. However, after returning to society this time, he was already a proper demon tamer.
He familiarized with demon soldiers, consolidating contracts, training demon skills, evolving multi-colored demon pets, piecing together the Demon Breath Battle Robe, and a dangerous combat assessment.
Thinking about the past three days, Du Yu was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
"Du Yu, Du Yu."
"Yes?"
"Awesome, we'll get better and better~"
"Wu ~!" Under the connection of the contract, Shal quietly appeared. She jumped onto Du Yu's shoulder and looked up proudly.
Du Yu's mood improved. People affect pets, pets affect people, an interesting positive feedback loop.
Whoosh ~
Just as Du Yu was secretly enjoying himself, a scorching fire demon aura suddenly rose and slowly spread out.
Du Yu hurriedly turned to look.
"Wu ~" Shal raised her head, looking high-spirited and proud. The scene was extremely beautiful.
Gong Cheng stood alone on the field and watched as the students carried bags and left the school to get on the bus.
Hearing the familiar and beautiful cry of a fox, he turned around and saw Du Yu, who was in high spirits. He also saw the waves of air spreading around Little Firefox.
A rare smile appeared on Gong Cheng's cold face.
Little rare colored Firefox, Mortal Rank--Lesser Mastery?
'Well, that's not a bad conclusion.'
