Chapter 3: Getting Stronger Just By Awakening?!
"Oh, this new transfer student is really handsome!"
"Exactly, exactly! I originally thought Mu Bai's good looks were already impressive, but I didn't expect Lu Sha to be even more handsome than Mu Bai! I'm in love!" (The male character's appearance is simply described as handsome, but the audience is just as handsome!)
Mu Bai's expression turned ugly upon hearing this.
Lu Sha's arrival completely stole his thunder, and judging by the homeroom teacher's expression, this Lu Sha's identity was not simple.
Zhao Kun San, who was good at reading people, knew his chance to flatter had come. He immediately praised one while stepping on the other in front of the entire class:
"Hmph! What's the use of being handsome?! If he awakens a Water Element or Light Element, at most he'll just be a pretty face! Mu Bai is from the Mu Family, so he's definitely awakening the Ice Element!"
At crucial moments, a lackey was indeed useful. Mu Bai felt a surge of satisfaction and subtly looked towards Lu Sha on the stage to see his reaction.
But Lu Sha paid no attention to such clowns. Mu Bai and Zhao Kun San were no different from mischievous children in his eyes.
Let alone Mu Bai, he had never even taken the Mu Family of the Imperial Capital seriously.
With the Sahara Emperor as his backing, not to mention the Mu Family, he could even stroll through the Holy City without incident.
"Ahem, the Awakening of Magic will now begin. Next, I will call out names in order from the roster. Students whose names are called, please come forward automatically."
Xue Musheng ignored the chatter of the crowd. Instead, he cheerfully opened the newly compiled roster in his hand and began calling names:
"Lu Sha, why don't you go first as a demonstration."
Earlier, Principal Zhu had told him that Lu Sha's talent was very strong, even more outstanding than Mu Ningxue of the Mu Family! He was told to pay close attention.
Little did he know, Principal Zhu's meaning was that Lu Sha was so strong he had already surpassed ordinary mages, and was mistakenly believed to be a scion of a great family out for experience.
"Alright." Lu Sha nodded. Before Xue Musheng could finish speaking, he placed his hand above the Awakening Stone, indifferent to what magic his third Element would awaken.
Lu Sha did not possess Mo Fan's innate dual-Element talent. He awakened single Elements. His primary Element was Earth Element, and his secondary was Sound System.
His Earth Element was High-level Rank 1, and his Sound System was Intermediate-level Rank 3. Even his spiritual realm had already entered the Second Realm!
Among his peers, there really wasn't anyone who could contend with him. Both his cultivation and combat experience were impeccable.
Mu Bai, Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, and others below the stage all cast various gazes towards Lu Sha.
"Hey, Fan-ge! What Element do you think Lu Sha will awaken? His aura is so strong, is it possible he'll awaken a Fire Element or Lightning Element or something similar?"
Zhang Xiaohou asked excitedly.
"Look at his confident, fearless demeanor. I'm afraid this guy isn't simple." Mo Fan shook his head, his expression slightly thoughtful.
"Haha, Mu Bai, don't worry too much. This new guy hasn't figured out the situation yet, so let him go up and test the waters first. That way, when you demonstrate your Ice Element magic, it will highlight your strength even more!"
Zhao Kun San's mind was very sharp. He had never lost when it came to flattery.
"Heh heh, well said." Mu Bai thoroughly enjoyed this feeling, a humble yet confident smile on his face.
But before he could be happy for long, if nothing unexpected happened, an unexpected event occurred.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
At this moment, the originally dim Awakening Stone suddenly erupted with dazzling, moon-white light. The light, like a bright moon, poured down, instantly illuminating the entire classroom.
"What Element is this? I've never seen it before."
"I don't know either."
Some people in the class had already begun discussing what magic Lu Sha had awakened. They usually only had contact with the seven Elemental Elements, and knew nothing about other types of magic.
"Summoning Element." A smile played on Xue Musheng's lips. Awakening the Summoning Element at the elementary level? The significance goes without saying, right? Principal Zhu truly didn't deceive me!
"Good! Very good! Lu Sha has awakened the Summoning Element, which belongs to dimensional magic. If used well, he can essentially be invincible among his peers."
"Holy moly, that strong?! Wouldn't Fire Element and Lightning Element be like little brothers in front of it?"
The female students who had already thought highly of Lu Sha were now even more infatuated.
At the same time, Mu Bai's expression wasn't much better. Seeing the homeroom teacher give such a high evaluation, if it was his turn to awaken and he didn't get Ice Element magic, he would be the one losing face.
"Hmm, you could say that. But the Summoning Element requires far more resources in the early stages than ordinary magic, so Lu Sha needs to work even harder!"
After speaking, Xue Musheng told him to step down and find an empty seat.
"I will." Lu Sha nodded with satisfaction.
With the Sahara as his backing, he could say that resources were the last thing he lacked, especially contract beasts. When he returned to the Sahara, he would ask the old man to help him find a young Emperor-level bloodline beast to contract, and he would immediately take off.
At the same time, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind again:
"Ding."
"Rookie Mage, congratulations on successfully joining Tianlan Magic High School and smoothly awakening magic. The mission reward has been issued."
It's done already?
Lu Sha casually found a seat in the back row by the window and sat down. With a thought, he delved into the Sahara pendant. Sure enough, seven faintly blue fireflies floated in mid-air.
As for the Stardust Magic Tool, he didn't deliberately check it. This item was very useful for elementary mages, but he wasn't an elementary mage. It was more suitable for charming girls.
However, at this moment, the system's voice sounded in Lu Sha's mind again.
"Ding, a new mission has been issued."
"Novice Guidance (2): Rookie Mage, congratulations on officially becoming a mage. But please do not be arrogant. Quickly control the seven stars to truly become a qualified mage!
Mission requirement: Cast Summoning Element magic once.
Mission reward: Summoning Element Level +1"
It can be like this? Control the seven stars to get a free level?
On the other side, the Awakening of Magic was still in full swing. After Lu Sha stepped down, it was Mu Bai's turn to go on stage. He successfully awakened the Ice Element.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. Keep up the good work!" Xue Musheng said indifferently.
If it had been in the past, his expression would have been harder to suppress than an AK, but after seeing Lu Sha's Summoning Element, he felt that the Ice Element was just so-so.
This contrast made Mu Bai's mouth twitch involuntarily.
Following him were Zhou Min, Zhang Xiaohou, and others, just like in the original story.
All seven Elemental Elements, except for Lightning Element, appeared one by one. Finally, when it was Mo Fan's turn to nervously go on stage to awaken magic, a Lightning Element appeared in the next class, diverting a lot of attention from him.
