In the evening of the Maguno School of Magic, the calm lake reflects the starry sky, and the occasional insect chirping can be heard to set off the tranquility of the surroundings.

As Qin You ran to the door of the dormitory, looking at the magic lamp lit up in the door, a trace of uneasiness flashed in Qin You's heart, and he knocked on the bedroom door with the mentality of being a thief.

"Bang bang bang. ”

With a squeak, Nancy opened the bedroom door.

Nancy saw Qin You at the door, and stood in a daze, the two stood inside and outside the door, looking at each other, but no one spoke.

With Nancy's "Ah!", Shirley on the side was alarmed, and when she saw Qin You standing at the door, she suddenly froze. Then I heard Shirley's voice with a hint of anger.

"Ike, where are you dead!!"

"Well, the situation is quite special, I don't have time to tell you ......," Qin You hurriedly explained.

"Do you know how worried the teachers and principal were today?!You've been missing for two whole days!" Shirley's little face was full of anger, but then she hugged Qin You in relief.

"It's good you're back......"

Nancy on the side also stepped forward to hug Qin You and echoed: "Yes, Sister Shirley and I are very worried about Brother Ike, Sister Shirley searched for a day yesterday and Brother Ike couldn't find it, so I cried ......" Then Nancy was immediately deliberately interrupted by Shirley.

"Contact Mr. Kevin and the principal, they're looking for you right now!"

Only then did Qin You react that the day of his absence must have alarmed the school. If the student suddenly disappears, the school will definitely send someone to investigate...... So Qin You said to the two of them: "You wait for me, I'll go to the dean first!"

Immediately, Qin You left the dormitory and ran to the dean's office.

Just as Qin You was wandering in front of the door of the dean's office and thinking about how to make up a reason to prevaricate, a voice suddenly came from the office.

"Come in, little Ike. ”

Although Qin You's scalp was numb, he still mustered up the courage to step into the dean's office.

"Where have you been in the past two days?" The dean on the side was expressionless, and his face was like an ancient well without any fluctuations.

Hearing the dean's words, although Qin You's brain was in a mess, he quickly began to make up stories.

"That, Dean Marcus...... I don't know where I went, I just remember coming out to the bathroom two nights ago, and suddenly fainting while walking. Qin You pretended to be innocent and said.

"Then I woke up and found myself running into the wilderness, but luckily I knew where Maguno was going, so I ran back on my own...... Believe it or not, I still have a cut on my clothes because of the battle when I encountered a monster. Qin You recounted selectively based on the memories of the past two days.

Dean Marcus stared at Qin You, mobilizing his magic power and using the Life Demon to carefully examine Qin You's soul. Marcus judged from the faint aura of demonic beasts on Qin You's body and the soil under his feet that Qin You should not be lying when he said that he fell into the wilderness.

But Marcas remembered the Ryder aura that had flashed on Qin You's body, and couldn't help but be cautious, but after carefully examining his soul, Marcas found that not only did he not have any evil aura as before, but even, Marcas also experienced a completely opposite and somewhat familiar breath of life. And this breath shocked Marcas, as if he had encountered the most unbelievable thing in his life!

For a moment, Marcus was shocked and almost forgot to ask about Qin You's disappearance.

Dean Marcas's eyes widened, his pupils constricted, and his mouth opened slightly, as if he was subconsciously saying "impossible". But after Dean Marcus was sensed many times, Dean Marcus slowly picked up the hand holding the table and touched his forehead, feeling very complicated and shocked.

"Do you know the four special sacred beasts of Elda's world?" asked Marcas, who was churning in his heart, but didn't know where to start.

"I don't know. Qin You couldn't see through what Marcus was thinking, so he replied honestly.

"Well, very few people know about this anymore. After a pause, Marcas said: "Now everyone knows that the intelligence of high-level demonic beasts is no less than that of humans, and even the existence of high-level demonic beasts such as dragons can not only transform into human form, but their intelligence even surpasses that of humans. However, above the existence of the giant dragon, there are four holy beasts, namely the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Xuanwu, and the Vermilion Bird. Dean Marcus said as he fell into memory.

After hearing this, Qin You was shocked in his heart, the four holy beasts of the Blue Dragon and White Tiger Xuanwu Vermilion Bird were not the incarnations of the stars that were once recorded in China? Why did the Elda Continent have their records, and they seemed to be living creatures!

"The legend of the Four Sacred Beasts basically disappeared four or five thousand years ago, but I will never forget it. Immediately, Dean Marcus looked at Qin You in shock, and confirmed the Vermilion Bird aura from Qin You's soul again.

"Because, the life and fire magic inherited by the bloodline of the Marcus family originated from Suzaku at the earliest. Finally, Dean Marcus told this fact, which shocked Qin You even more.

Suzaku Qin You suddenly thought that the ability to kill death once in seven days was very similar to the legendary Nirvana rebirth and the heat that erupted...... Could it be...... Yueli is related to Suzaku?!

"It's only for a moment, but when I first inherited the power of the Suzaku, the breath of the Suzaku I felt was exactly the same as what I felt on you. The dean looked at the student in front of him, and recalled the incredible talent that Qin You had displayed during the initial test, and the evil spirit aura that had been there, as well as the current Vermilion Bird breath, thinking of this, Dean Marcas couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Before that, I also felt an evil aura from you, and now it seems that I should have been overly concerned, it is impossible for an evil spirit with millions of lives to be compatible with Suzaku's evil extinguishing flame and life energy. At that time, it is more likely that the aura on your body resonated with the power I used, the reaction I triggered after I completely burned Ryder. "The dean was originally worried that Qin You's disappearance was related to Ryder, but he accidentally detected Suzaku's breath after Qin You's disappearance returned, and Suzaku's evil extinguishing fire helped Qin You clear his suspicion.

However, the dean's words after that shocked Qin You very much.

"Child, I don't know what happened when you disappeared for the past two days, and why you have the power of Suzaku, but as long as it has nothing to do with Ryder, it doesn't matter, I have the right to be a child naughty and wander around. I have a more important question for you now, though. The dean looked at Qin You very solemnly and said in a slow voice.

"You, are you willing to learn the life magic of the mystery system and the advanced magic of the fire system? I mean—are you willing to be my apprentice?" Qin You looked at Dean Marcus who was smiling, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

Then Qin You said with lightning speed: "Good master!"

After thinking about it, Qin You thought that Dean Marcus had no reason to harm him. In this case, if there is a chance to hug his thighs, Qin You will not miss it, after all, he is the master who gave it for nothing. Moreover, Qin You also wanted to follow Dean Marcus to investigate Yueli's origin.

......

The next day, the school year exam came as scheduled, and the students were led by Mr. Kevin to the entrance of Maguno Forest.

"Listen! Today, you need to hunt Warcraft through your own abilities on the outskirts of the forest, a team of three, the time range is three days, and the location cannot exceed the outer area, otherwise you will bear the consequences! Finally, your score will be determined according to the Monster Crystal Nucleus you have hunted. Do you hear that?" Mr. Kevin shouted to the students in the open field.

"Got it!" As the entire grade replied in unison, Mr. Kevin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good! Now, it will be up to me and Mr. Judy to check whether the students have brought crystal nuclei before entering the forest, and if anyone has brought them, hand them over immediately! Otherwise, once they are caught cheating, they will be directly suspended from school!"

Just when the preparations here were in full swing, Levi Wright was silently planning on the side, as he expected, the school dispatched all the teachers, and the manpower was still not enough to take care of the entire forest periphery, and he had already bought the adventurers in advance, so that they could take the initiative to take over the school's protection tasks, so that they could install people to participate in the big exam in advance and bring the prepared crystal nuclei in advance...... and Ike, a classmate who finds an opportunity to "protect" himself. Thinking of this, Levi finally couldn't help it, and his slightly distorted face smiled very gloomily.

"Hahaha! I'm going to let you figure out where you stand this time!Untouchable!" Levi thought of his plan, and finally couldn't help but laugh.

At the same time, Qin You was still silently thinking about the words of the dean yesterday, originally he thought that this was a pure other world, but now it seems that it is not so simple, from the escape of the giants in the first cycle of the solar age, to the giants who came here to find the souls of their companions, as well as the various ancient Chinese star holy beasts that appeared. These all reveal that this world and the earth once had a very close connection, although he still doesn't know what exactly happened, but in the dark, Qin You feels that there is a force, constantly pushing in the shadows to let himself continue to discover the secrets of the past.

"It would be nice if I was strong enough, so that I could go around investigating, I really want to grow up quickly, it's still too troublesome to hold this 11-year-old body. Qin You thought about things over and over again, and muttered and sighed.

"Brother, let's go inside. Immediately, Nancy's gentle and sweet voice on the side interrupted Qin You's thoughts.

Immediately, Shirley, Nancy, and Qin You marched together and came to the outskirts of the forest.

After the three of them walked into the forest, they followed the long journey to a valley. Qin You came to a big tree, made sure that it was a leeward place to make a fire, and had a wide field of vision, and was close to the water source, so he called Shirley and Nancy to prepare to install a tent here.

"The solid earth, turn it into my shield—— the barrier of the earth!" As Qin You's earth-based magic chanted, he didn't erect a wall of dirt from the ground as usual, but instead a flat layer of soil directly appeared on the uneven ground.

It turned out that Qin You directly changed the vertical direction of the earth barrier and turned it into a horizontal direction, so he naturally leveled the land, and thanks to the strengthening of Noah 715, the strong spiritual power made Qin You's control over magic also very strong.

Immediately, Qin You and Shirley Nancy set up a tent in this leveled place.

"It's a leeward place where we can make a fire, we have a water source and a great view, so it's great for pitching a tent. However, because there is a water source, there may also be demonic beasts coming to drink water, so I will set up a line of defense. After setting up the tent, Qin You said to Nancy and Shirley based on the knowledge he had learned and the experience of being attacked before.

"Brother (Ike) be careful!" sounded with the sweet and concerned voices of the two little Lori. Qin You also gradually walked around the valley.

"Yueli, you and I feel around a little bit to see if there are any monsters. Qin You's sea of consciousness and Yue Li communicated.

"Good master!" Yueli replied, then sensed the life around the valley with her divine sense.

But I didn't want Yueli to find out that when she spread her divine sense, the surrounding beings seemed to sense something scattered away.

"Master, after I spread my perception, the surrounding demonic beasts ran away......"

After listening to Yueli's slightly aggrieved complaint, Qin You was speechless for a while, is it really a high-level coercion related to Suzaku...... But then he comforted in the sea of consciousness: "Okay, then you should be vigilant around and don't need to take the initiative to detect." ”

At the same time, an adventurer holding an azimuth plate and wearing light armor was moving forward all the way according to the positioning of the azimuth plate, judging from the trajectory of his movements, the destination of his trip was the camping place prepared by Qin You.

The adventurer held a gem that glowed black in his hand, and muttered, "Boy, I'm sorry, I'm just taking money to do things for others, if you can't escape, I don't care......"
