I Swallowed This Book!

Zhao Kun San was Mu Bai's lackey. Ever since Song Jie had taken first place, this guy had stopped deliberately targeting Mu Bai and turned his attention to Song Jie instead.

Still, he really had seen demons. Whether others believed him or not was none of his concern.

Seeing that Song Jie did not refute him, Zhao Kun San became even more arrogant. "See? I called it, didn't I? You don't even draft your lies before spouting them. If you've really seen a demon, I'll eat this book!"

"Zhao Kun San, Brother Jie just can't be bothered with you. Don't push your luck!" Zhang Xiao Hou said indignantly on Song Jie's behalf.

Zhao Kun San shot Zhang Xiao Hou a disdainful look. "Zhang Xiao Hou, Song Jie himself hasn't said anything. Why are you getting so worked up?"

At that moment, everyone looked toward Song Jie, thinking he would explain himself.

Yet Song Jie did not pay Zhao Kun San any attention at all, acting as though he had heard nothing. This made them suspect that Song Jie might really have been bragging.

"Oh, right. There's something else I need to tell everyone."

Teacher Tang Yue, who was standing at the podium, suddenly said.

Hearing this, everyone raised their heads to look at Tang Yue.

"I only just received the news. One of the students in our class was incredibly brave and actually killed a demon!"

The moment Tang Yue finished speaking, everyone present froze!

Killed a demon!

One of our students!!

Suddenly, some students could not help glancing at Song Jie...

It seemed like he had just said that he had seen a demon...

"How could that be? How could it be him? That was a demon..." Even though Zhao Kun San did not believe it was Song Jie, he still unconsciously swallowed.

At that moment, Mo Fan, Mu Bai, Xu Zhao Ting, and the others in the class all looked at Song Jie as well!

They were all top students in the class, but they knew they had not killed any demon!

"You don't seriously think a Light Mage could kill a demon, do you?" Zhao Kun San said.

Suddenly, everyone came to their senses. Although Song Jie ranked first in grades, he truly was a Light Mage!

If he had been a Lightning Element or Fire Element mage, it would have been understandable, but he was a Light Mage!!

How could he kill a demon!

Thus, all of their speculation vanished in an instant!

They all felt it was impossible!

"Teacher Tang Yue, who was it?" a girl hurriedly asked.

After all, this was a classmate who had killed a demon. They could cling to his coattails!

"It was Song Jie." After Tang Yue spoke, she, too, looked at Song Jie with some disbelief.

She remembered that he was a Light Mage. How could he possibly have killed a demon?

But!

The moment she finished speaking, the entire classroom erupted, and everyone stared at Song Jie!

It really was him!

"Brother Jie, you actually killed a demon!!" Zhang Xiao Hou exclaimed excitedly.

Zhao Kun San was completely stunned. He looked around, wondering if he had misheard what was said.

But seeing everyone's reactions now, he knew full well that it was all true!

How was that possible!

"Zhao Kun San, shouldn't you make good on what you said just now?" Zhang Xiao Hou asked with a smile.

"Yeah, you said that if Song Jie killed a demon, you'd swallow that book whole!"

"That's right, I heard it too!"

The others chimed in one after another. They all wanted to cling to Song Jie's coattails!

They would be going on field training next week, and they did not want to end up getting eaten by demons!

Zhao Kun San remained silent. There was no way he was going to eat a book, so he stood to the side, playing dumb.

Tang Yue asked, "Student Song Jie, could you share how you killed that Giant Eyed Fish Rat?"

As soon as she said this, many people nodded. They also wanted to know how Song Jie, a Light Mage, had killed a demon!

Song Jie said, "I didn't kill that Giant Eyed Fish Rat. When we encountered it, it was already injured. Then I assisted Mu Ning Xue, and we barely managed to kill it."

"Mu Ning Xue!"

At that moment, everyone became even more excited!

They all knew that Mu Ning Xue was Bo City's favored daughter of heaven. Now it made sense!

"I knew it. How could a Light Mage like him possibly kill a demon? So Mu Ning Xue was there!" Zhao Kun San instantly straightened his back and spoke with righteous confidence.

"Zhao Kun San, what are you showing off for? Can you walk around with Mu Ning Xue?" Zhang Xiao Hou said, looking at Zhao Kun San.

"I..." Zhao Kun San wanted to retort, but he had no idea how to.

Mu Ning Xue was the Mu Clan's favored daughter. What right did he have to walk around with her?

However, Mu Bai's expression turned rather ugly. He knew that Mu Ning Xue had taken Song Jie home that day!

It was very likely that they had encountered a demon on that occasion and had luckily managed to kill it!

"Song Jie, do you know Mu Ning Xue?" someone began asking gossipily.

"Song Jie, what level is Mu Ning Xue at now?"

Faced with everyone's questions, Song Jie sucked in a breath and had no desire to answer at all.

Teacher Tang Yue interrupted the students' questioning. "Enough. That's someone else's privacy. It's not good to keep asking about this and that. You should focus on preparing for next week's training instead."

Everyone lost interest, but they did not continue asking.

Zhao Kun San escaped disaster and let out a sigh of relief, stuffing the book on his desk back into the drawer.

The week flew by, and they soon welcomed their training assessment.

The students of the advanced class had already gathered on the field and were lining up to board the buses.

"Students, hurry up and take your seats. We're leaving," Tang Yue said from the front of the bus.

Very soon!

The bus started up and drove out of the school.

After reaching the outskirts, they passed through the mountains and finally spotted a small village in the distance.

"Teacher Tang Yue, is that where we'll be training?" someone asked, pointing at the small village ahead.

"Yes. That place is called Snow Peak Mountain Small Village, and it is Bo City's defensive line," Teacher Tang Yue explained.

This small village was not some crude rural settlement, but a fortified town standing between two towering cliffs!

"Teacher Tang Yue, is this training going to be dangerous?" someone asked.

"Of course it's dangerous, so you must take it seriously. Don't panic when something happens..." Tang Yue reassured the students.

But! They were panicking like crazy inside. If they really encountered demons, they did not even know what they should do.

After a while, several buses drove into Snow Peak Mountain Small Village one after another.

They also saw quite a few mages coming and going, constantly entering and leaving.

"Those people are all Hunter Mages, right?"

"Probably..."

"When I graduate, I want to become a Hunter too!"

Everyone discussed it excitedly. Once the buses stopped, they got off one after another.

At that moment, several people in military uniforms stood waiting in front of the buses.

"Students, hurry up and get off. Assemble," Tang Yue urged from the bus door.

Song Jie got off behind Zhang Xiao Hou. When he looked up, he saw a familiar figure.

Is that Instructor Zhan Kong? Song Jie thought.

The person standing before them was indeed Zhan Kong, and he was currently watching the students getting off the bus.

However, just as his gaze swept over the students, his eyes met Song Jie's...
