Chapter 8

"Smack!" The loud sound of pounding suddenly startled everyone.

"Shut up, the topic of Digital Magic has been raised long ago, and it has even been applied in military to create main cannon carriers. As students of the strongest academy in the imperial capital, don't you realize that human progress is still too slow?"

"Qin Yang, although Digital Magic was not introduced recently, it is a topic for university students. For us high school students, this..." The students below raised their doubts, mostly because they didn't want Digital Magic to suppress traditional Magic.

"Let me ask you this, how many third-year students are at the Sub-Saint rank?"

"...” The students below fell into silence.

"Do you understand what the Sub-Saint rank means compared to gods and demons? You are not even on par with underage Celestial children! Oh, you may think that our academy has exchange students from gods and demons, but do you know they are all mixed-blood with human heritage hindering their innate potential? Do you know that? I am not asking for everyone to accept 'L' particles, but you can't obstruct it!"

"Qin... Qin Yang's momentum is as if he is the ruler of a nation." The students below cautiously discussed, afraid of being overheard by accident.

"Human progress is too slow! You must remember this. As the new force of the empire, you must give it your all. The Human Realm needs to truly stand on equal footing with gods and demons, not be manipulated puppets!"

The word 'puppets' instantly struck everyone's hearts. Yes, all the young heirs of prominent families present knew that none of their families were without the influence of gods and demons. They had always been content with being controlled, but the gods and demons were truly too powerful.

I left the podium. It wasn't in vain being a substitute teacher for two months!

"Everyone, cheer up!" Guffy stepped up onto the stage again and said, "Students, The Chishin Academy doesn't accept weaklings. In the end, I'll say it again, feel free to duel on campus, make all the noise you want as long as there are no fatalities. I don't have the energy to deal with it. But there's an additional condition this year, whoever can defeat Qin Yang will be exempt from the final exams!"

"Hey, hey!" Startled, I turned around and saw pairs of seemingly lecherous eyes staring at me. What's all this commotion?

"Students, the prohibition here has different levels. Magic is permitted for those above the God rank! Goodbye!" I immediately disappeared from everyone's sight.

"It's quite lively down below." Nana stood on the rooftop of the yard, silently listening to the commotion below.

"Yes, it's quite lively. Why are you standing on the rooftop?"

"It's my duty." The wind on the rooftop carried the scent of spring, the intense fragrance of grass and trees contrasting with Demon Dragon's memories. One hundred and fifty million years ago, the same place had an incredibly polluted atmosphere, as humans used the most contaminating energy source in the world.

"I gave you a school uniform, why do you insist on standing here instead of being a student?"

"I don't think it's necessary."

"If it's not necessary, then why are you wearing the school uniform I gave you?" I sat at Nana's feet and gently tugged at her skirt.

Nana ignored me and kicked me twice with her foot.

"What's wrong? You're wearing such a short skirt, isn't it normal for someone to tug at it a few times?"

"What do you think about the skirt you gave me?"

"You never measured me, I had to estimate, do you expect me to have a ruler in my eyes?" I widened my eyes and stared at Nana's skirt.

"Oops! Don't look there," Nana said, while holding down her dress that was fluttering in the wind.

"Oh! I can look anywhere I want," I replied.

"Ah!" Nana fell into my arms, and her contract suddenly lit up.

"Let this mark be the proof that you belong to me."

"You're really shameless. I doubt you even set up any timing device from the beginning."

"Whether there was one or not, based on the temperature of your cheeks right now, I believe you wouldn't mind my contract." My forehead was pressed against her face.

"You..."

"Qin Yang is up there!"

"Oh, I just realized that I'm up here. These students are not quick enough to react." We both looked down at the group of students below.

"They are just acting recklessly. If they can be defeated so easily, then being their bodyguard would be pointless."

Soon, the rooftop was filled with students, and colorful magic appeared in an instant.

"Buzz!" The sound of the impact of the iron blocks had echoes in the spacious area.

Nana spun like a gust of wind, and all the students in the front row were sent flying like rockets.

Her skirt flew, displaying a beautiful scenery. However, the sunlight was a bit dazzling today, causing me to see a glare in front of my eyes.

The girl with a long sword and a black shield, paired together, was something the students had never seen before.

"I can't tell which level she is. What about you guys?"

"She must be at a higher level than you."

"You talk as if you can see it."

Well, I think she's so beautiful. Look at her sword and shield, the craftsmanship doesn't seem to be made by humans. It looks so powerful! I'm so excited." The surrounding students gave him a disdainful look.

"Sister, in the imperial border, there are military ranks, right?" The light in Nana's eyes made them shiver. A girl who had been in the military, these students would suffer a terrible fate.

"Nana, why don't you help me pack up for the dormitory move?"

"Qin Yang..."

"It's a good opportunity for them to try the 'L' particles."

"Whatever!" Nana's blade swept across, and black aura filled the air.

"She disappeared! She's a Dark magic user."

"Classmates, take this opportunity to experience it. The one leading the new era of human magic is definitely digital magic! In the past, the appearance of a space magic user was rare, but now things will change!"

I activated my ring and used particle-controlled space magic to instantly float outside the crowd.

"There are so many of us, let's attack!"

The students continued to attack me! A massive tornado appeared beneath my feet, created by a joint magic spell cast by five students in the back row.

"Only this small tornado from five people?" Golden flames spread their wings behind me, and I flipped upside down to enter the tornado.

Inside the eye of the storm, I used digital magic to control it in reverse and make it disappear.

Afterwards, the students flew out one by one from the rooftop. I flew out at a speed of over one hundred meters per second, effectively getting rid of some students with lower flight abilities.

I smoothly maneuvered through the buildings, with fewer and fewer students following behind. However, there was an earth magic user setting up a defense in front of me. Hundreds of students simultaneously cast magic, and a wall of earth rose from the ground. I pressed against the wall and soared into the sky. With a swipe of my palm against the wall, particles stuck to it, and wooden pillars broke through the wall, directly hitting the students who failed to decelerate in time. This large-scale wood magic required a fusion of water and earth magic, but I only used one-tenth of my usual magic power.

The students suddenly came to a halt in midair, staring blankly for a moment...

"Boom!" A massive blast of dark magic pierced through the clouds, and the students' instinctual sense of danger told them to run!
