23. The Cruel Academy (Middle)
Even though the two major factions were in full swing, Zhang Longqian, who was full of thoughts about becoming stronger, was still unmoved, taking advantage of the suspension of classes in the whole academy, she spent more time going to the wooden character practice field, but she no longer walked over like before, but asked Ji Haiyun to take her to teleport around directly.
While this is undoubtedly a better way to avoid the two factions that are fighting, it is still fraught with risks.
At first, Ji Haiyun didn't want to agree, but seeing Zhang Longqian's resolute attitude, thinking that he was sure to protect her from those students who were not mages at all, he reluctantly teleported with Zhang Longqian once. Ji Haiyun, who was ready to face a bunch of enemies as soon as he appeared, saw an empty wooden practice field when he arrived, there was no one in all the venues, and it was like this for the next few days, as if both sides of the battle had forgotten about this place, which made Ji Haiyun breathe a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance, so he stayed in the venue with Zhang Long and practiced with her until late every day.
It lasted like this for nearly a week, and the battle between the two factions finally subsided.
Zhan Gongzi is still Zhan Gongzi, Guan Rongtu has not tasted defeat, but the family faction has not won either.
There was no strategy used in the real battle, in terms of strength alone, the family faction led by the prince Guan Rongtu should have had enough advantage this time, but to everyone's surprise, the result this time turned out to be a tie.
Those who watched the fight quickly discovered the cause of this unexpected outcome.
Two new students who joined the Shichuan faction, disciples of the Quanzhen faction, Song Lin and Wang Juehui.
That is, in the quiz of the foundation of spells, the other two elementary students of the first-class Yin class who passed with Zhang Longqian with a full score.
It is said that in the most critical large-scale battle, these two people dragged He Guang and Xue San, who were in the second and third positions of the family faction, for a long time, and gave Liu Rafter Song enough time to come to the rescue, which turned the tide of the battle and was able to draw with the family faction.
He Guang and Xue Sanneng can be the second and third leaders of the family faction, their strength is absolutely undoubted, and the two junior students who entered the school last quarter can actually hold them back, which means that they can barely be on par with them, even if Song Lin and Wang Juehui are both disciples of the Quanzhen Sect of the famous family, such strength is too unbelievable, and it immediately attracted the attention of all parties.
Of course, there is no Zhang Longqian among them.
She couldn't even remember the names of the two classmates who were only concerned about strengthening her spells, how could she care about their strength.
Looking at Zhang Longqian, who was seriously repeating the same spell and constantly trying, Ji Haiyun, who was standing on the sidelines, finally couldn't help but speak with admiration.
"Miss, I didn't expect you to be so calm."
Zhang Longqian, who was pinching the seal, turned his head and glanced at Ji Haiyun: "Huh? What did you say? ”
"This time, of course. The Shichuan faction and the family faction are about to overturn the entire academy, and you are still so indifferent, what should you do, you don't care about them at all, I really admire it. ”
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Longqian looked very surprised.
"What do you mean? The family faction and the Shichuan faction have fought? When was this? ”
She was surprised, but Ji Haiyun was confused.
"What 'when'? Isn't this still fighting in the morning? ”
After saying it as a matter of course, he found that Zhang Longqian's face was shocked, obviously not joking, Ji Haiyun couldn't help but make a somewhat absurd guess.
“…… Miss, you don't know what's going on these days, do you? ”
Ji Haiyun guessed correctly, she really didn't know.
If Zhang Longqian had been paying attention to these things, of course she would have known about the incident immediately at the moment it happened, but now that she was thinking about practicing spells, she didn't have the heart to think about anything else except for the safety of her friends, after all, this matter didn't break out in front of her, unless someone reminded her, she would never be able to realize it.
However, who would have thought to deliberately emphasize such a big event known to the whole hospital to Zhang Longqian?
So Zhang Longqian, who was full of the word "become stronger" in his head, thought that the academy had been closed for a few days for some reason, but she was not interested in what the reason was, but she was just happy because she had more time to learn spells.
Looking at Zhang Longqian's expression that he really didn't know anything, Ji Haiyun really didn't know what kind of expression to put on.
"Miss, since you haven't found anything, why did you ask me to take you to the practice ground?"
"Isn't that time-saving? I thought that this was a rare opportunity, and I had to make the most of my time! ”
"Then why don't you let Miss Zhou Miao go to Zongheng's house to do experiments?"
"Classes are all suspended, so isn't there a teacher in charge of the Zongheng family? What if you let Xiao Miao go over and encounter those scumbags again? ”
mentioned a few more countermeasures that should have been taken in consideration of the factional strife, but the answers he got from Zhang Longqian were all so ordinary and natural, and they had nothing to do with the factional strife, Ji Haiyun couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"To be honest, in a way, I really admire you......"
"Don't admire it yet." Hearing these things, he didn't have the heart to practice spells for the time being, Zhang Longqian looked at Ji Haiyun seriously, and frowned slightly, "You said that you only finished the fight yesterday, what is the situation?" Which side won? ”
After sorting out his thoughts a little, Ji Haiyun briefly told her about the past few days, and after listening to it, Zhang Longqian couldn't help frowning deeply.
"I guessed that it would be a tie, after all, Liu Raftersong's city is very deep, and it is impossible to fight a battle that he is not sure of. But...... You say there are dead people in this fight? Is this true? ”
Ji Haiyun nodded.
Zhang Longqian's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Isn't it forbidden for the academy to fight privately? Why is it that no one cares about such a big thing this time? It's already dead, isn't it? ”
Seeing Zhang Longqian's somewhat excited appearance, Ji Haiyun sighed: "Miss, you still don't understand what kind of place the 'academy' is......"
"What kind of place? Isn't it the place where the people of the Dao Dharma Realm teach their spells? It's like a mortal school......"
"Have you ever seen a school that allows competitions?"
This calm rhetorical question made Zhang Longqian choke.
The sunny smile on his face disappeared, and Ji Haiyun looked at Zhang Longqian's eyes seriously and solemnly.
"This is not a mortal school, and it is not just a 'place where spells are taught', this is a testing ground in itself, a testing ground where the winner is king and the loser is the loser."
