Tang Yue saw the boy's face clearly and froze for several seconds.

He was, without question, the most striking boy she had ever seen. Yet beneath his calm expression lay an air of distance, as though no one could get close to him.

A moment ago, he seemed to have thought of something pleasant while lost in a daze, and the corners of his mouth had lifted slightly.

Sunlight fell across him. Now he looked almost angelic, his earlier icy aloofness gone.

What luck, ending up as his teacher.

Tang Yue recognized Mo Xie, and Mo Xie recognized her too.

When Mo Xie looked up and saw Tang Yue, he felt a jolt of surprise. The beautiful woman he had happened to save half a year ago was Tang Yue?

Wasn't that a little too much of a coincidence?

"What's your name?" Tang Yue asked with a smile once she recovered.

"Teacher, my name is Mo Xie."

Mo Xie stood politely to answer.

"Mo Xie, pay attention in class."

Mo Xie nodded and sat down.

"You only awakened six months ago, and none of you can cast magic yet. But I want you to understand that possessing great power doesn't mean you can use it well. If you fail to control it, you may even get burned..."

Teacher Tang Yue settled in remarkably quickly and soon found her rhythm as she taught.

Her earnest, serious manner brought many of the top students back to their senses.

But when she turned to write several key points on the blackboard, the whole class nearly had nosebleeds.

This was torture! That curve, that roundness—who could stand it?

Every normal boy in the class had much the same image flashing through his mind.

Sensing several heated gazes behind her, Tang Yue tugged down the hem of her skirt, hurriedly wrote a few large words, and turned back around.

She was no naive young girl. She knew how striking her figure was, but being stared at by several boys still made her a little uncomfortable.

She had not dressed up today, either. It was just a simple women's business suit with a skirt, and a fairly conservative one at that.

The entire morning was devoted to practical magic lessons. After so long listening to an old man lecture, the students finally had a beautiful teacher instead, and they listened with unusual attention.

Once the theory lesson was over, Tang Yue took everyone to the main field to demonstrate how to cast magic.

The field was really a training ground, divided into several sections by mysterious magical barriers.

The invisible barriers absorbed any stray power, preventing it from injuring students who had no means of defending themselves.

"Watch closely. Today I'm demonstrating the beginner Fire Element skill—Fire Burst!"

Tang Yue stood before the class, while the students formed a semicircle behind Teacher Tang Yue.

Whether they were all watching the start of her casting, though... that was another question!

Tang Yue stood perfectly straight and still. Her graceful curves were especially striking beneath her slightly snug skirt.

Perhaps she had chosen her clothes in a hurry before coming to teach. Whatever the reason, the students were enjoying the view.

"Calm your mind. Be at peace. Focus. Even while I'm speaking to you, my mind is entirely focused on my Fire Element Nebula... ah, my Stardust."

Teacher Tang Yue's voice reached every student. Suddenly, her curled hair began to stir.

There was not a breath of wind on the field, yet her hair spread outward as if lifted by a wave of heat.

"Take control. At this moment, you are the one giving the commands. Have your stars obey you and open the Fire Element Mana Gate!"

Teacher Tang Yue's voice changed from gentle to stern, carrying an imperious certainty that everything before her would burn to ashes!

Every student's eyes widened. They stared at the beautiful teacher in alarm.

They felt the aura pouring off Tang Yue wash over their faces.

It inspired surprise and awe, along with a commanding presence that no one dared treat lightly!

Everyone had assumed the newly arrived Teacher Tang Yue was just an ordinary teacher.

They thought she would teach the same jumble of theory as that old man and might even make mistakes when she cast magic herself.

But the young, beautiful teacher before them seemed to have wielded this power for years.

She could instruct them while controlling her stars. Once she completed the opening motions, the heat surging from her was on a completely different level from the old man's!

"Remember, once your stars are in position, you must not let your focus slip. Immediately lock onto the spot you're aiming for!"

"Fire Burst—Scorch!"

Her voice rang through their minds like a tolling bell.

At the same moment, a crimson Star Orbit appeared around Teacher Tang Yue.

It flashed around her, then swiftly converged on her fair right hand.

As her fingers curled, a mass of blazing red energy grew rapidly in her palm, wild and violent!

She flung out her arm, sending the flame flying like an arrow from a bow. A brilliant streak of crimson cut through the air.

Then it struck the wooden dummy with the precision of a bullet, piercing straight through its body.

For a second, silence fell. The dummy showed no reaction to the Fire Burst, a stark contrast to the force of its release.

"That's it?"

"Why isn't anything happening?"

"But it hit!"

Amid the doubtful voices, Tang Yue slowly turned around.

Facing the still-young faces of the entire class, she wore a bright, confident smile.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

All at once, a startling crimson blaze erupted from within the dummy.

It was no slow-burning fire. The flames danced furiously, as though determined to consume everything that could burn in a single breath!

In less than two seconds, the human-shaped dummy had been completely devoured!

The dazzling red glow lit up Tang Yue's beautiful curls and cast a vivid flush across her fair face.

Behind her lifted smile, flames burned unchecked. Against that backdrop, the already dazzling teacher could only be described one way—[beautiful beyond words]!

Every boy in the class felt his heart pounding. It was not only her beauty that captivated them, but also the confidence and commanding grace she radiated as she wielded fire. They felt admiration, fascination, and awe!

If a woman was merely beautiful, she stirred the imagination.

But if she held power beyond anyone else's reach, she became a poison no man could resist...
