A stinky cultivator has arrived in the magic world.

Chapter 44 Covert Targeting

Even high-level mages, without learning specific magic, have physical attributes that are only comparable to ordinary people, at most a little stronger and more resilient. But compared to Lorne, who uses spiritual energy to cleanse his body and nourish his life essence, they are completely insignificant.

In the distance, a blond youth and several students who looked slightly more mature stood together, observing the entire situation.

One person mocked the blond youth:

"Cryseth, your underlings are really useless. They're much worse than ours this year. They can't even handle a peasant."

The blond youth was Chrysace, who remained expressionless, only coldly retorting:

"Didn't you also get turned away by him three days ago, and be rudely thrown out of the cafeteria by a waiter?"

Hearing this, the mature-looking students were quite embarrassed and unwilling to say more. Then Chrysace frowned and asked:

"What's so special about this freshman that makes us all target him? He's just an ordinary citizen. The Dawn Cup is about to begin, and I don't want to cause any more trouble."

Upon hearing this, one of the older students coldly replied:

"It's the president's order. He has the resonance of the four elements. The president said that this talent is extremely special and may be helpful to the mentor's research. It's best not to let him have too profound magical skills, otherwise he will be difficult to control."

Upon hearing this, Chryseth shrank back slightly, seemingly somewhat afraid of the president and mentor he had mentioned, and then said:

"He does seem rather extraordinary. I wonder if he's become a magic apprentice. I haven't seen him cast any spells, nor have I sensed any elemental fluctuations, yet he managed to repel all my companions. Could this be some kind of talent related to the resonance of the four elements? Senior, if I were to attack him, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything to him unless I used magic. But if I were to use magic to harm him, I'm afraid I would be punished by the academy."

Silver Academy does not restrict students from using magic within the academy, but students are prohibited from harming each other with magic. If discovered, the consequences range from academic penalties to confinement and expulsion.

A senior student pondered for a moment, then took out a piece of parchment about the size of his palm, handed it to Chryseth, and hesitated, saying:

"I can't tell whether he has successfully achieved enlightenment or not. Logically speaking, with his level six spiritual affinity, it should be impossible for him to achieve enlightenment now. But this guy has four elemental resonances, so it's not surprising that he has already achieved enlightenment. Moreover, there is his performance in alchemy. We can't underestimate him."

"Now that so much time has been wasted, it's impossible for them to reach the Wood Elemental Tower on time. This magical item is a magic carpet with speed. You can use it to lure him onto the carpet and create an accident to make him fall. Even if he has become a magic apprentice now, he will be unable to attend classes for at least two or three months. At that time, we will naturally have a way to control him."

Chryseth quickly took it, then said worriedly:

"But I mocked him in class before, and my classmate has a grudge against him. What if he doesn't want to?"

"Hmph, then he'll just be late. Professor Sylvie hates students with a bad attitude towards learning. If Professor Sylvie dislikes him, she might just take back the badge she gave him before. It's not a loss."

Chryseth solemnly accepted it, straightened his collar, checked himself over, and then walked forward.

Lorne felt he had been low-key enough. Since enrolling in school, he had avoided going out unless absolutely necessary in order to reduce outside attention. He didn't expect that he would still attract so many prying eyes, and he didn't even know what the purpose of these prying eyes was.

After teaching the group a lesson, Lorne prepared to leave with Viola and head to the classroom. They had only taken a few steps when they were blocked by a figure.

Frowning, he saw it was Chrysace. His golden hair shone brightly, his clothes were clean and tidy, his smile was polite, and he had an elegant demeanor. He held a magic wand in his hand, from which faint starlight flickered. Clearly, he had already made some progress in his magical training, surpassing his peers.

"Cryseth, teach this brat a lesson!" shouted one of the boys who had gotten up. The others also stood around Chryseth and began to attack Lorne.

"Break his hand! It was this hand that pushed me just now!"

"He must have practiced some kind of superhuman strength magic, or he has some kind of magical artifact on his arm. Be careful!"

Lorne and Viola frowned. They were already a little late, and if they continued to entangle themselves with these guys, they wouldn't be able to get to class on time.

Surprisingly, Chrysace ignored his henchmen, instead glaring at them fiercely before bowing slightly to the two men with an apologetic smile.

"I am truly sorry, students. On behalf of my companions, I apologize for their offense. Such behavior is utterly unbecoming of nobles and lacks proper manners. I will certainly educate them on behalf of the student council."

The boys around him stared at him in disbelief, completely unprepared for the fact that their boss had betrayed them and apologized to Lorne, even though they had been following his orders!

Chryseth said sincerely:

"It's getting late, and Potions class is about to start. How about we call it a day?"

Lorne, unsure of his intentions, frowned and remained silent. Viola, on the other hand, watched the blond man warily, gripping her wand tightly like a vigilant kitten.

Opposite him, Chrysace took a palm-sized roll of parchment from his waist, shook it, and the parchment unfurled in the wind, transforming into a flying carpet about three meters long and two meters wide.

The carpet was embroidered with exquisite silver runes, and its edges were inlaid with a ring of tiny magic crystals. It emitted a soft blue light and hovered a few inches off the ground, completely still. It looked incredibly beautiful and was clearly a precious magical artifact.

"This is a 'Silver Pattern Flying Carpet' gifted to us by our senior members of the student council. It's a second-tier magic item that can take you from the West Ring Road to the South Ring Road in just a little over half a magic hour."

Chryseth gracefully stepped onto the magic carpet, turning to the side and extending his hand to Lorne and Viola:

"To express my apologies, I sincerely invite the two students to ride the flying carpet together. After all, it's never good to be late for Professor Sylvie's class."

Viola's delicate brows furrowed; her intuition told her that this blond-haired man had ill intentions.

However, the time constraints are also a fact. Being late for the first class will definitely leave a bad impression on the instructor. Even if Lorne and Professor Sylvie have a special relationship, it won't matter. Perhaps the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment, and that would be bad.

As she hesitated, Lorne stopped her and refused outright:

"No need, we won't be late."

Viola was puzzled, while Chryseth sneered inwardly. He didn't think Lorne had any special abilities. He had found out that Lorne had been staying in his dormitory and hadn't left. The dwarven alchemy workshop hadn't contacted him either, and he hadn't had any contact with the other academy teachers. It was impossible for him to have a magical item like a magic carpet like him.

Lorne is definitely going to suffer this loss; all the goodwill he's worked so hard to build with Professor Sylvie will be gone!
