After stretching a little, Zhang Yang opened a Portal again and returned to Kamar-Taj.
He had barely stepped out of his single dorm room when Mage Hamill appeared from nowhere and caught him.
"I was just about to look for you!"
Mage Hamill took Zhang Yang by the hand and led him in a certain direction. "I'll take you to see the Special Class. You'll be attending class with them this afternoon."
"So soon?"
Zhang Yang was somewhat confused, but he still followed Mage Hamill's pace.
As they walked, he realized this route looked a little familiar.
When a great hall finally appeared before him, Zhang Yang recognized it. Wasn't this the teleportation hall?
He had come here just yesterday!
"The Special Class is in another dimensional space."
Mage Hamill gave him a rare explanation before pushing open the doors to the teleportation hall.
At that moment, the apprentices who had undergone the graduation assessment yesterday, as well as those who had taken it early, were gradually returning. The most eye-catching among them were the Ice and Fire Sisters.
Pinochio, usually as passionate as fire, now looked like a wilted eggplant, completely devoid of energy.
Krah was the same. In fact, everyone in their team looked half-dead.
"Did you hear? The Ice and Fire Sisters' team ran into Chino!"
"Chino? That monster built like a tank?"
"Damn, that's an ace unit of the Dark Legion. They actually encountered something like that in the graduation assessment?"
"Chino is nothing! My uncle, Mage Daniel, said someone closed a dimensional wormhole during this assessment and even knocked Dormammu flat!"
"Shh! Can you just say a Dimensional Demon God's name like that? Be careful, that one might notice you!"
"My bad, my bad. I was so shocked that it just slipped out."
"The person who knocked that one flat... could it have been Zhang Yang, the top newly admitted Mage Apprentice?"
"That's him! The Ice and Fire Sisters would have definitely taken first place in the graduation assessment after defeating Chino, but because of Zhang Yang, they could only get second."
"That's incredible! But then why did Zhang Yang take the graduation assessment? Didn't he just join Kamar-Taj?"
"My uncle said he took it because he was joining the Special Class."
"Tsk tsk, the Special Class..."
As Zhang Yang passed by those Mage Apprentices, he overheard some discussions about himself.
Most of them were shocked by Zhang Yang's accomplishments, while a smaller number sympathized with the Ice and Fire Sisters.
Just as Zhang Yang entered the teleportation hall, someone finally realized and gasped softly, "Isn't that Zhang Yang?"
"So he really joined the Special Class!"
When everyone turned around, all they saw was his carefree retreating figure.
In a dimensional space lush with greenery, Zhang Yang finally saw the so-called Special Class.
"Uh..."
Seeing the slovenly middle-aged man before him, dressed in a khaki trench coat and reeking of unpleasant nicotine, Zhang Yang's eyes widened.
"This is one of the Special Class's instructors, John Constantine."
Mage Hamill introduced him. "He is one of the most powerful exorcists and once rejected Satan's invitation."
"So this is the kid?"
Constantine lit a cigarette. "He looks... not that impressive?"
"Hey, wake up! Time for class!"
The ash from Constantine's cigarette turned into a magic circle, summoning six demons from Hell. They passed through a spatial gate that had appeared at some point.
It seemed this was how Constantine woke the Special Class students.
Zhang Yang glanced at Mage Hamill and found no surprise on his face. Apparently, this happened often.
A moment later, sounds of battle came from within the spatial gate. Before long, a proud man with a dark expression stepped out of the Portal.
"Damn you, Constantine! How many times have I told you not to wake the future God King this way?!"
The man wore golden armor, and his helmet resembled a Christmas reindeer's. The moment he stepped out of the Portal, he exploded in rage. "You will pay for what you have done!"
"Assuming you can become king."
Constantine did not care in the slightest. In a flippant tone, he said, "Loki, you were slower again. At that level, you still want to fight Thor for the throne?"
"Damned mortal..."
As if his sore spot had been hit, green energy surged around Loki.
"Sooner or later, I'll throw you into the heavenly prison!"
"I'll be waiting for that day."
Constantine tossed away his cigarette and turned to the other two spatial gates. "If you two don't come out soon, I'll have the demon Etrigan wake you up!"
"Instructor Constantine, you're being far too rough!"
A very gentle voice came from one of the Portals, though it carried dissatisfaction. "How can you treat a girl like this?"
"That's right!"
A voice came from the other Portal as well, filled with helplessness. "Yesterday, we followed Instructor Lucifer to Hell and cleared out plenty of demons. Can't you let us rest properly today?"
"That's why I used demons from Hell today instead of angels from Heaven!"
Constantine looked as though he had deliberately done so. "I just wanted to see what you learned under that bastard Lucifer!"
"I heard that, John!"
A Portal opened, and a handsome man in a suit and tie stepped out. "You're badmouthing me in front of the children again!"
Constantine rolled his eyes. "Lucifer, can you stop showing off like that? And aren't you afraid those people will take over your territory while you spend every day in the human world?"
"Others may want to come to the human world."
Lucifer did not care about Constantine's words. "But can they? Aren't they afraid of being taken out by Mage The Ancient One, God King Odin, and the others?"
"As for territory?"
"If I didn't need the identity of Hell's lord to sustain my life, do you think I'd be willing to fight those bastards?"
Constantine was speechless at this lord of Hell who had abandoned Hell's authority, preferred living in the human world, and had even fallen for a police officer. Rolling his eyes, he waved a hand. "It's my class today. You can go back."
"You must be the new apprentice."
Lucifer looked at Zhang Yang with a friendly smile. "I'm Lucifer. We'll... see each other in three—no, four days!"
Lucifer waved to Zhang Yang and returned through the Portal.
At the instant the Portal closed, Zhang Yang caught a glimpse of the scene inside.
It was a bar. Lucifer sat in one of the booths, surrounded by beautiful women.
Tsk tsk, what an enviable life.
