Chapter 195: Class Twelve Monitor

There was another reason he selected leather: Xiao Lin’s combat style was going to be dual cultivation. Even though Lu Renjia was shocked when he mentioned it, he still gave his best recommendation, which was that leather would be the best option.

Of course, it was just the current situation. Lu Renjia had given Xiao Lin quite a lot of information over the few days. Making gear was a very complicated process, and the material chosen would basically determine what the end product would do.

For instance, heavy armor than had metals as a base would not interact well with spells. Even if they could, it would be high-leveled metals, which were not within Xiao Lin’s budget.

For that reason, leather was currently his best choice. It would at least have higher defensive capabilities than a mage’s robe.

Lu Renjia slaved away making his gear. Xiao Lin was obviously not idle during the last week as well. He resolved to use his remaining time on spell-related training, so he asked for a dozen vials of intelligence training potions from Fei Yawen. The woman seemed absolutely disinterested in whether or not he was dual-cultivating, and only cared about the experiment’s results.

Xiao Lin had not been to any Basic Meditation classes for quite a while, and that week he would once again attend them. The teacher, Li Mailing, was an arrogant Lolita, and Xiao Lin had a deep impression of her, mainly that she did not like him.

He used his class monitor privileges to check on everyone else’s basic meditation. Compared to physical skills, everyone’s progress with basic meditation was quite slow. Most of them were only at LV3 or LV4, and Xiao Lin’s was at LV4. It seemed that he was in a decent spot, but Xiao Lin had not trained his basic meditation for more than a month.

Of course, the sole exception was Gu XIaoyue. She was already at LV7, which was something that absolutely eclipsed everyone else. There was already a lot of discussion on the forums, and all of them determined that, no matter what Gu Xiaoyue’s results in the other classes were, and no matter if she was a class monitor or otherwise, the title of best mage in the entire year was definitely hers.

Xiao Lin had deliberately gotten up early on the day so he could maintain a low profile. He headed to the classroom to locate a solitary and quiet corner, but someone had gotten there first.

“Hi! Xiao Lin! You’re a rare sight. I haven’t seen you here for a long time!” A young man waved at him.

Xiao Lin looked at the sky outside, which was still dim before furrowing his eyebrows as he smiled. “You’re really early.”

“Haha! Aren’t you too? This class is nothing like the other classes. It’s way too hard to level up.”

“Indeed.” The man seemed to know him well, but Xiao Lin really could not remember who the young-looking boy was. After trying hard to remember, all he could be sure of was that he was not from his own class. In the end, he asked awkwardly, “Who exactly are you?”

“Huh?” The man stared blankly, not knowing what expression to make. “My gosh, we might not have met a lot, but your memory is really bad. It’s Chen Dao.”

“Chen Dao?” Xiao Lin vaguely recalled before exclaiming, “Class Twelve’s monitor, Chen Dao!”

“That’s right! You finally remembered.”

There were not many acting class monitors who chose magic. There were only three or four even, including Xiao Lin. He had only attended basic meditation classes two times, so Xiao Lin obviously could not remember.

“Sorry, I don’t really see you normally. Oh, I mean I don’t see you with Cheng Ming’s group usually.” Xiao Lin referred to the group of acting class monitors who were close to Cheng Ming. He usually saw them together, but not all the monitors were in that group.

“They don’t really know magic, so I don’t have much to talk to them about.” Chen Dao frowned, not wanting to go deep into it. A bright glint flashed in his eyes when he said, “I heard you disappeared for a month because you went to the New World. Come on, tell me what it was like!”

Xiao Lin felt that Chen Dao had probably just turned into an adult. To be more accurate, he was probably a university student before entering Dawn Academy. After all, Dawn Academy’s recruitment process did not take age into account. However, among the current first years, there were very few university students.

Chen Dao did not seem to have ill-intentions, and he was right at the age where he would approach everything new with curiosity and excitement. He passionately dove into magical training after he entered the academy. Thanks to him being a talented student as well, his meditation level was not low, and was probably second only to Gu Xiaoyue.

Xiao Lin remembered a similar topic on the forums, since most of the students enjoyed spreading gossip on the forums when they had nothing to do. Chen Dao was like an unfortunate individual that was always overshadowed. If Gu Xiaoyue did not exist, Chen Dao would definitely have been the best mage among the new students. It was a pity that he had been eclipsed by Gu Xiaoyue; even his class monitor title did not help much.

Chen Dao did not know what went through Xiao Lin’s mind. Seeing Xiao Lin’s distracted expression, he said, “So, do you have any pictures? Let me see some pictures of the New World!”

“Ah, pictures!” Xiao Lin laughed dryly. Even though there were some laws regarding transferring objects from Earth to Planet Norma, he did not feel like a camera would drastically affect things. However, he had gone to New Washington for the sake of making money, so he did not even think about a camera. Xiao Lin could only put his hands up and shake his head.

“What? You didn’t get any pictures? What, how could you be so behind the times? How could you go to the New World and not go out shopping or take some pictures as a souvenir!” Chen Dao widened his eyes in disbelief, and quickly and sadly sighed. “Ah, I really want to go to the New World. I even go there in my dreams!”

Everyone wanted to go to the New World, but few people expressed it as directly as Chen Dao. Being young really is different!

Xiao Lin vaguely felt like he was getting old. On Earth, he was just a fresh graduate, but he could not compete with Chen Dao. He suddenly asked curiously, “Why do you want to go to the New World? You want a vacation? I know a lot of people have wishes like that, thinking they’re visiting an alien world. However, the New World isn’t heaven; it’s filled with danger.”

Xiao Lin thought the boy too naive, so he could not help but warn him. However, Chen Dao quickly shot him a look, saying, “Of course, the natives are definitely our enemies! However, that’s fine. It’s better that they’re enemies. It would be much harder if they were our friends.”

“Huh? What are you saying?”

Chen Dao’s face was full of longing. “I heard that elven women are gorgeous! There’s even a fox tribe in the beastkin who are extremely sexy. When I think about the noblewomen and princesses...”

Xiao Lin was speechless.
