Kapitel 20: Chapter 17 We Love to Learn!
The following few days at the academy finally settled down, and everyone had started their normal studies.
Everyone had their turn to test on the fighting aura pillar, and Long Yi's six-tier fighting aura undoubtedly astounded everyone. Wesley, like most people, only had a two-tier aura, which was considered average. At the same time, the chubby and skinny brothers tested with three and four-tier auras respectively, which confirmed Long Yi's previous assessment of their abilities. They were among the best among the new students in previous years, but sadly, all their limelight was overshadowed by Long Yi's six-sided fighting aura.
In their frustration, the brothers were secretly grateful that they had no conflict with Long Yi. After all, a first-year student with a six-tier aura has a nearly unlimited future. If he manages to enter the Imperial Dragon Knight Legion one day, his rise would be unstoppable. Once one enters the Imperial Knight Order, family power becomes irrelevant!
Luckily, they noticed one of Long Yi's characteristics; he seemed quite friendly as long as you didn't provoke him out of boredom. Even when facing the chubby brother, who had minor conflicts with him earlier, Long Yi didn't treat him particularly differently. Moreover, he seemed to enjoy helping others, almost to the point of granting any request.
Since they were not enemies, it was possible to maintain a good relationship. Although the list of people to absolutely avoid from his family didn't mention Long Yi, Chubby didn't mind adding his name to it. Even though he may be outrageous, Chubby was not stupid. His craziness was backed by his strong four-tier aura. But even that didn't count for much in front of a six-tier aura! Going crazy in such a situation would be lunacy.
The training classes were pretty boring, with most of it focusing on physical conditioning. Aerial combat was very energy-demanding; even with dragon power support, it could quickly exhaust someone. Hence, physical training was critical. Long Yi, the disciplined student, received special attention from the instructor. Instead of ten laps, he ran a hundred. His training intensity was always ten times more, but he never complained. Any increase in training intensity benefited him, so why complain?
The dragon power cultivation class was the most sleep-inducing. Basically, everyone would sit holding their dragons and meditate, allowing the dragon power to enter their bodies and transform into dragon fighting aura. The amount of dragon fighting aura that a person's body can accommodate is proportional to their physique. Of course, some uniquely talented individuals are exceptions.
For example, Long Yi, who inherently had dragon fighting aura, did not require much dragon power. Each time, he would cuddle with Bajie and sleep, only to be kicked awake by the instructor.
What terrified our honest Long Yi the most was the Dragon Language class.
Their Dragon Language teacher was a female elf, tall, fair, with long pointed ears that often fluttered according to her mood. Her gorgeous golden hair seemed to glow. The new students almost worshipped this elf like a goddess.
In Long Yi's fuzzy memory, elves were one of the two races who spoke Dragon Language the best, other than the Dragon Clan.
The other race was Giants.
Remembering this, Long Yi couldn't help but feel deeply dejected, with a sense of ineffable bafflement. He occasionally felt inconsolably sad and teary.
I'm supposed to be a giant, too! Why didn't I get any knowledge of the Dragon Language in my inheritance!? Having a second language is so important these days! Why were my biological parents so foresighted? It's fine that they abandoned me, but at least leave me with some useful skills! The more skills, the better, I won't complain!
Therefore, in all other types of training, where Long Yi was always among the best, he now found himself painstakingly mastering the infuriatingly complicated Dragon Language one word at a time.
And so, Long Yi truly understood why people often say that dealing with elves is troublesome.
Whenever Long Yi was diligently learning on his own, the female elf would watch him like he was a rare flower. The most amazing thing is, she even brought a chair just to sit in front of Long Yi. With her eyes glued to Long Yi, she looked at him as though he was a little kitten or puppy. At first, Long Yi saw nothing wrong with that since he could ask her anything immediately whenever he encountered an issue with the language. He certainly didn't care about the glaring looks from his male classmates.
But later on, this female elf actually sat beside Long Yi during class, even placing her chair next to his. And what's more, something happened that shocked the whole class.
One day, the female elf tutor unexpectedly reached out and pinched Long Yi's cheek when he was not paying attention!
At that moment, Long Yi felt like his whole body's goosebumps were struggling to escape him! The male students' stares seemed to brighten the whole classroom a bit more.
Seeing Long Yi's terrified expression, the female elf acted as if nothing had happened and continued to pinch Long Yi's face in front of his gaze.
And thus, our honest Long Yi developed a psychological shadow over this course.
Thankfully, after that day, the female elf didn't pinch him again, but she still liked to sit beside him during class. Moreover, Long Yi surprisingly found each time the female elf sat beside him, she seemed quite happy.
Am I catnip or what?
Long Yi tried to communicate with her a few times, but no matter what he said, the elf just smiled without answering.
After several attempts, Long Yi, frustrated by the feeling of defeat, chose to give up.
Long Yi even started to have the desire to skip class, but Dragon Speak was something he couldn't afford not to learn.
Dragon Speak is essential for casting fighting techniques and magic. Dragon Power enters the human body, transforming into Fighting Aura or Mana. To stimulate these Fighting Aura and Mana into fighting techniques or magical skills, Dragon Speak is needed.
Of course, not all fighting techniques and magic require it, but as the techniques become more difficult and powerful, the need for Dragon Speak grows.
Dragon Clan has a wide open mouth and a thick, long tongue. Long Yi felt like his tongue was too short, and there were some pronunciations he just couldn't master.
On the other hand, Arin exhibited a gift for learning Dragon Speak. He almost remembered everything upon reading it, completely remembering any grammar or structure.
Before long, Long Yi and Arin, the pair of roommates, were dubbed as two extremes among the new students.
Long Yi had a terror-inducing physique, an unwaveringly tough personality, and the title of "new student fight king." While Arin was so physically weak that he could faint after running just two laps, he was bullied everywhere he went. Yet, his aptitude for Dragon Speak was exceptional. On multiple spontaneous tests by tutors, Arin's Dragon Speak consistently ranked first in the year.
He was clearly a magic prodigy. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, there was not a single ounce of magical power in Arin's body.
Comparatively, Long Yi enjoyed practical classes the most. Given his notorious strength, there was no one in his class who could be his match. At first, the fat and skinny duo tried to challenge Long Yi's position, but they were quickly subdued. Consequently, the pair had no choice but to settle for second and third place in the grade. It turned out the duo weren't without strength – the fat one was outstanding among their peers and even though the skinny one fell a bit short, his cunning tactics made up for his lack of strength. It didn't take them long to secure the second and third positions in the grade.
Then, there was only one person left in the first grade who could compete with Long Yi.
The instructor.
Long Yi had to admit, the instructor was very strong. Having such strength in a backward training and combat mode was enough to show his prowess.
However, if the instructor wanted to deal with Long Yi, the only thing he could rely on was his Tier 18 Fighting Aura.
The instructor would never forget the day when Long Yi approached him, complaining he couldn't find anyone to practice with.
"Um, instructor, I don't have an opponent." Honest Long Yi looked at the instructor sincerely.
"Well, what do you want to do?" The instructor laughed internally as he looked at Long Yi's honest face, wondering if he dared to challenge him. The instructor initially planned to borrow a student from the second or third year for some extra training; these students usually get extra credit for helping, and bullying their younger peers was easier than class training. There were always plenty of volunteers. But Long Yi didn't give opportunities.
"Um, can we practice together?" Honest Long Yi proposed innocently.
"..."
The instructor almost choked on his spit! This Long Yi was really bold, daring to challenge him to a practice duel!
"Alright! Let's see how it goes."
'A bit of fun.' In the instructor's mind, no matter how strong Long Yi was, asking him, an instructor, for a duel was merely a game. The instructor decided to suppress his Fighting Aura to Level 6, equivalent to Long Yi's
Practical training prohibited the use of fighting techniques to test both parties' hand-to-hand combat skills. The instructor is a veteran soldier who experienced countless battles, and although Long Yi was talented, the instructor underappreciated how much. His experience should crush this big-headed little student.
However, he underestimated Long Yi.
Once, when Long Yi parachute-landed in a hostile area after a plane crash, he blasted the enemy's ammunition depot with sixteen bullets and a military knife seven days later, also extracting much military intelligence in the process.
When it comes to combat, Long Yi is highly professional!
