This beautiful misunderstanding, at least for now, would not be exposed, and he had already gone to take the release assessment.
His skilled control and release earned him a score of "A+!"
Of course, he could have achieved an S if he wanted to, as his magic release was truly proficient.
He had completely mastered the second level of elementary magic.
But such a score was already enough to charm a crowd of fangirls; there was no need to push himself further.
After the assessment ended, everyone dispersed. A few days later... Tang Miao, without any surprise, was assigned to the advanced class.
This class had about seventy or eighty students, who attended lectures in a large classroom and practiced in a large training ground.
Those who made it to the advanced class had basically controlled seven star points, though some were not yet perfectly skilled in releasing magic.
So, whenever there was a practical lesson, the top students from each department would showcase their abilities!
And Li Li, who initially disliked Tang Miao's constant flirtatious remarks, had now completely changed her attitude. In fact, if Tang Miao were interested, a teacher-student romance wouldn't be out of the question.
Thanks to Tang Miao, she also successfully got to be a teacher in the advanced class.
This was a significant leap for her; it was a miracle that her short legs managed to cross such a chasm.
After a brief introduction to the new students, Li Li took out the Star Dust Magic Tool. Then, looking at everyone, she said, "This assessment's first place goes to Tang Miao. Second place, Dongfang Hui... The higher the ranking, the longer the usage time."
After explaining, Li Li placed the common-grade Star Dust Magic Tool in front of Tang Miao.
It wasn't until the end of the day's classes, as Tang Miao was preparing to leave, that Dongfang Hui approached him. A delicate fragrance wafted over before she even reached him.
As Tang Miao turned, sniffing the fragrance, he saw two beautiful women approaching. One was Dongfang Hui, and the other was her little fangirl?
Looking at Tang Miao, she said, somewhat unconvinced, "This is the first time I, Dongfang Hui, have been completely outclassed by a peer, but it will be the only time!"
Tang Miao heard this and waved his hand, not very interested, saying, "Oh, then good luck!"
He had originally thought she was admiring his strength and wanted to talk about life and ideals in a small hotel, but it turned out she was just unconvinced... What was there to talk about then?
Tang Miao turned and left, while Dongfang Hui and her little fangirl beside her were somewhat taken aback.
After all, someone like her was the goddess of the new students! Not many people could get her to initiate a conversation, but this Tang Miao was actually not very interested!?
Dongfang Hui comforted herself, "Hmph, he must be playing hard to get, trying to get my attention!"
He didn't think much of it. After all, before he had enough strength, unless it was given freely, he had no interest in provoking daughters of influential families. That would purely be inviting humiliation... After leaving school, Tang Miao headed back to the apartment Tang Yue had rented for him in Magic City.
After returning home, taking a nice bath, and lying in bed, Tang Miao looked at the Star Dust Magic Tool in one hand and the jade pendant in the other, thinking, "Does this jade on me have no intention of devouring it?"
The reason he came to this world was because of this stone... oh no, it should be this jade! Ever since he came here, it seemed to have disappeared. It only suddenly reappeared from his body when he awakened his magic.
That had given Tang Miao quite a scare... Although he wasn't sure what this thing was, seeing the Black Totem Snake's timid demeanor and how it always followed him around, it clearly proved that the origin of this jade was definitely not simple!
Moreover, it seemed to be due to this jade that Tang Miao felt his cultivation speed was so fast.
After thinking for a moment, Tang Miao took out his phone and called Tang Yue.
"Beep beep..."
"Beep beep..."
After a series of rings,
Tang Yue answered the phone, "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?" A sexy and gentle voice drifted over, but it seemed to carry a hint of sleepiness.
"I miss you. You haven't come to see me in a long time."
Tang Yue seemed to have been woken from a pleasant dream, and there was a hint of annoyance, "If you keep being cheeky, I'm hanging up!"
"Alright, alright. I have something on me. It seems to be a Star Dust Magic Tool, but I don't quite understand it, so I called to ask you about it." Knowing Tang Yue was getting her beauty sleep, Tang Miao had no choice but to give up on teasing her verbally.
"Oh?"
Tang Yue paused, then said, "When did you get a Star Dust Magic Tool? Why didn't I know about it?"
Tang Miao's mouth twitched slightly, but he couldn't blame Tang Yue. After all, no matter where he threw this jade, it would always appear in his magical star river... It wouldn't show up unless he summoned it with his thoughts.
"This Star Dust Magic Tool seems to be a companion. It's always in my mind. If I summon it, it appears. Of course, this was after magic awakening; I forgot to tell you last time... When do you have time? Should I come to you, or will you come to me?"
Tang Miao had always been completely open with his future wife.
Upon hearing what Tang Miao said, Tang Yue's sleepiness instantly vanished. She then said, "I'll come to you tomorrow. Get some rest first. Don't tell anyone about this."
Finally, Tang Yue reminded Tang Miao, as it's essential to keep wealth hidden, regardless of whether it's a good thing or not.
"Okay, I know. Don't worry. Good night~"
"Good night."
"..."
The next day.
Because he was expecting Tang Yue, Tang Miao took the day off directly.
Speaking of which, there wasn't much to learn at school. After all, theories were about how to deal with demons and how to use magic rationally, but... for a man like him with innate multiple elements, wasn't just getting stronger enough?
The best way to pass the time was, naturally, cultivation.
Normally, a person could only meditate for one hour a day. But he was different; with this Star Dust Magic Tool, he could almost reach four hours!
And after Tang Miao finished his cultivation, Tang Yue also arrived in a hurry. Seeing her dusty appearance, Tang Miao smiled and said, "Why the rush? I didn't go anywhere today; I've been waiting for you."
Tang Yue took off her coat and sat on the sofa. Tang Miao got a wine glass and took out her favorite red wine. He poured a glass for her and asked, "How's your mission going?"
Tang Yue said somewhat dejectedly, "No progress..."
Tang Miao smiled and sat beside her, wanting to explore the changes, "It's okay. At least you've become even more beautiful since we last met."
Although Dongfang Hui was also very charming, her allure was clearly inferior to Tang Yue's. Even though Tang Yue was still a young woman, she already possessed the charm of a mature woman~
Seeing Tang Miao reach out, Tang Yue decisively slapped his hand away and glared at him, "Show me your jade. I want to see it."
She just didn't understand. Did these two mounds have such a great attraction? Wasn't he tired of it every day? And besides, they had serious business today!
Tang Miao sat next to Tang Yue with a playful smile. The reason he hadn't revealed his true nature in the academy was that there wasn't anyone worth flirting with... He finally found one, but she happened to be from an influential family. Why waste time on a girl who wasn't easy to fool?
Then Tang Miao concentrated his thoughts, and a piece of jade appeared in his hand.
"This is the jade I told you about. It seems to accelerate my cultivation. But I'm not sure if it's a Star Dust Magic Tool..."
Tang Miao was actually just curious if the jade in his hand could absorb spirit essences and remnant souls, like the jade in the protagonist's hand... After observing it for a while, Tang Yue nodded and said, "It is indeed a Star Dust Magic Tool, and there seems to be a powerful magical pressure on it... I have a student who also has a strange Star Dust Magic Tool..."
Tang Yue had already seen Mo Fan's Star Dust Magic Tool. She then explained the whole story.
"You think highly of this student?"
Tang Miao naturally knew the whole story, but his focus was different!
Seeing Tang Miao's displeased expression, she chuckled and said, "What, are you jealous?"
"Yes!" Tang Miao didn't deny it and directly nodded in acknowledgment.
Tang Yue snorted and retorted, "I just thought this student had good potential and paid a little attention to him, and you're already jealous. Then what about you, flirting with girls all day long?"
"Uh..."
Tang Miao's mouth twitched slightly, then he said, "I'm just learning to socialize."
"Pfft, you scumbag! I really don't know who taught you these things."
Tang Miao waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this." He wasn't someone who guarded his chastity, and Tang Yue would never betray him, so there was no need to dwell on some things.
As for Tang Yue and Mo Fan's relationship, with him around, they could only be ordinary friends. He had that much confidence!
After listening for a long time, Tang Miao said, "So you mean my Star Dust Magic Tool can also grow?"
Tang Yue nodded and added, "And, if I'm not mistaken, its growth should be related to the totems we protect!"
At this point, Tang Yue understood why the Black Totem Snake was so obedient to Tang Miao. It must be because of this jade. However, even among their group of guardians, they didn't know much about the totems.
Tang Miao generally understood, but Tang Yue wasn't sure if this thing could absorb spirit essences or remnant souls. However, Tang Yue did point him in the right direction. Once he was strong enough, he could just try killing a demon to find out!
Tang Miao was also stunned for a moment; the answer to this question indeed seemed to be that simple.
But it was definitely not possible now; the demon territory was not something to be trifled with...
