After the initial shock wore off, Zi Tong forced herself to calm down before she slowly spoke.
“Alright, you can go now.
The other students need to be tested too, we can’t delay.
I’ll report your situation truthfully to the academy’s higher-ups.
Also, I hope you won’t get arrogant just because your magic element is special.
Everyone is equal.”
“Okay, I will.
Thank you, Teacher Zi Tong!” After saying that, Bai Ling slowly walked off the podium.
Honestly, for Bai Ling, who had memories from her previous life, something like this was impossible.
No matter what, having been a commoner in her past life, Bai Ling understood this principle even better.
Besides, Bai Ling’s dream in her previous life was world peace, so she rarely got involved in conflicts.
Otherwise, things wouldn’t have turned out the way they did.
Now, Bai Ling didn’t think the world was peaceful at all.
This world was just like her previous one—survival of the fittest.
Without enough power, you didn’t have a say in anything, and you couldn’t even guarantee your own safety.
In a world like this, how could Bai Ling ever feel at ease?
That’s why Bai Ling wanted to get stronger—so strong that no one could threaten her.
That way, she could protect the people she cared about from getting hurt.
After learning about the healing magic’s effects and abilities, Bai Ling made a decision: as long as it was within her power, she’d use her magic to heal as many people as possible.
Even if that couldn’t bring world peace, contributing her part would be enough.
Instinctively, Bai Ling still hoped for world peace.
That was the kind of world she longed for.
All the fighting and killing every day was just pointless.
She walked over to Lin Qiufeng and looked at her, still in a daze.
Bai Ling couldn’t help but laugh.
“What? Still not over the shock?”
Looking at Bai Ling in front of her, Lin Qiufeng stared back a little strangely, and the two of them just looked at each other like that.
When Lin Qiufeng awakened her powers, she thought she was a genius.
But compared to Bai Ling’s healing magic, her own wood element was just so weak.
Even though they were both the same level, the magic elements weren’t on the same tier.
Healing was called the strongest magic element, after all.
How could Lin Qiufeng possibly stay calm?
“You…” Right now, Lin Qiufeng really didn’t know what to say.
She felt like she was nothing in front of Bai Ling.
“Me? What about me? Is there a problem?” Bai Ling tilted her head in confusion, looking adorably clueless.
With that innocent look on her stunning face, she almost made Lin Qiufeng, who was also a girl, fall for her.
That look—no one could beat it.
Such a beautiful face paired with such an innocent expression, it was just too cute.
Lin Qiufeng couldn’t help but feel the urge to take her home, or even just to look at her would be enough.
When Lin Qiufeng snapped out of it, her cheeks were burning.
What was wrong with her just now? Was there something wrong with her orientation???
Luckily, that state didn’t last long, or she really wouldn’t have been able to pull herself out.
“Ahem, it’s nothing.
I just think you’re amazing, Bai Ling.
You actually awakened the strongest magic element.” To cover up her embarrassment, Lin Qiufeng pretended to answer calmly.
“It’s really nothing.
I still have to learn magic with you guys.
The magic element doesn’t mean everything, you know.”
“You can’t say that! You have to realize, this is the so-called strongest magic element.
It’s super rare!” Lin Qiufeng looked at her with longing.
“But to me, it’s all the same.” Bai Ling was a bit helpless.
She really didn’t get what Lin Qiufeng was thinking.
Of course, that made sense.
Bai Ling had abilities from her previous life, so she didn’t feel much about this world’s magic, which led to her current attitude.
After a whole morning of magic awakening tests, it was finally over.
A few more students with decent awakening levels showed up after that, but the highest was only B-rank, nothing compared to those earlier monsters.
So when it was all over, Teacher Zi Tong said, “This afternoon we’ll be sorting into classes.
The class lists will be posted on the academy’s bulletin board, so you can check for yourselves.
Just go straight to your class this afternoon.
The opening ceremony is tomorrow.
Those who passed the test can explore the academy and get familiar with it.
Those who didn’t pass, please come with me—I’ll take you to your class.”
Those who didn’t pass could still stay and study at the academy, but they wouldn’t be learning magic.
Plus, they wouldn’t be in the same building as the successful students, since the courses were different.
Obviously, Zi Tong was taking that group of students to another building.
As the students started leaving, Lin Qiufeng turned to Bai Ling and asked, “Bai Ling, what are you planning to do between lunch and afternoon classes?”
“Hm? …I’ll probably just eat and then wander around campus.
Nothing else to do anyway.” Bai Ling thought for a moment before answering.
“Oh, then we can go together!” Lin Qiufeng said playfully.
“???” Bai Ling looked at her, confused.
“I was planning to do the same thing as you.” Maybe seeing Bai Ling’s confusion, Lin Qiufeng explained.
“Oh, sure, that works.
It’s nice to have company.” Bai Ling smiled too.
Having someone with her would definitely make things less lonely.
Of course, she hadn’t forgotten her real reason for coming to the academy—to find her sister and stand by her side.
That was important, but there was no rush.
Bai Ting wasn’t going anywhere.
Besides, they were in the same academy.
It’s not like she wouldn’t see her.
Thinking that, Bai Ling decided to put that matter aside for now.
“Yeah, let’s go!” Lin Qiufeng naturally hooked her arm through Bai Ling’s.
Feeling the touch on her arm, Bai Ling was a little surprised and instinctively tried to pull away, but when she saw the happy smile on Lin Qiufeng’s face, she gave up on that idea.
Honestly, it didn’t feel bad at all.
“Mm.” She responded softly, letting Lin Qiufeng pull her out of the classroom.
