Chapter 21 - Why Is He in First Place Again?

Chapter 21 Why Is He in First Place Again?

Almost at the same time, a few exhausted freshmen climbed up the hill.

The clothes of the two men and two women were in an even more sorry state than Li Pu’s. It was obvious that they had suffered a lot when facing the plant magical beasts that went berserk.

That being said, they were still able to make it here on time given the circumstances, which showed that they were among the best in this batch of freshmen.

If one were to exclude some exceptions, these four people would be the leaders of this batch of freshmen in terms of combat strength for at least one to two semesters.

The boy in the lead was called Fulde. He had blonde hair and blue eyes and was half Rue.

The Rue region was the second largest region in the Federation, second only to the Hua region.

Fulde’s father was from the Hua region, so his surname was Fu, while his mother was from the Rue region and had the word “Elde” in her name, so she gave him the name “Fulde”.

Also, this guy was a son of a rich man. He was one of the few new students who had not used the blue beginner talisman. Instead, he used the designated summoning talisman that his family had bought with a huge sum of money. The so-called designated summoning talisman didn’t mean that one could specify and summon a certain beast. Instead, the summoning talisman would filter through some related terms and summon the summoned beast that fitted the related terms.

Fulde’s summoned beast was a C-grade Fire Katydid. It was an insect-type summoned beast that had nine fire attributes and one earth attribute, making it almost entirely made up of fire.

The Fire Katydid’s physique allowed Fulde to be like a fish in water in this competition, killing all the plant-type magical beasts. “Although it’s hard, at least we’re the first to reach the finish line. It’s worth it,” As he stood on the hill and looked at the circle of tents, Fulde was very pleased.

The other three nodded in agreement.

“That’s right. To be honest, I noticed several

small groups along the way, and they were

quite strong.”

“Yeah, it’s a good thing our skill level is

higher.”

“It’s all thanks to Elde’s Fire Katydid. Without it, we probably wouldn’t have arrived so

quickly.”

“You’re flattering me. Your summoned beast was also very important. If it wasn’t for its continuous healing of the other summoned beasts, even my Fire Katydid wouldn’t have been able to last that long.”

All in all, this was a friendly team, and no one tried to take all the credit. However, no matter how friendly they were, they had to face a problem at this time: Who should be given first place in the competition?

Although being in the top four meant that one could choose any course one wanted, being the first place had a special meaning and was an honor. Getting first place would be a source of pride, at least for some time. Perhaps even the teachers and seniors would give one special attention.

“I think the first place should go to Fulde. After all, his summoned beast contributed the most this time, and he also contributed the most in the battle,” The other male student expressed

his opinion.

“No, no, no, I don’t think so. Healing, illumination, and combat support are all equally important factors for our current results. We wouldn’t have succeeded without

any

of them,” Fulde himself shook his head.

“I think so too. Without your summoned beast to light up the way, we might have taken a

detour.”

“Healing is the key to fighting.”

“The support that gives the enemies negative buffs is also an indispensable part of the

battle.”

At this moment, the four of them stood where they were and acted courteously to each other. To be honest, boys and girls of this age would more or less want to pursue glory. But at the same time, they were embarrassed. Each of them wanted to get first place, but all were too embarrassed to say it. As such, they could only praise others infinitely but not themselves.

“Stop arguing. Since that’s the case, let’s say the four of us are tied for first place,” In the end, it was still Fulde who proposed a compromise and ended the dispute.

The other three could only nod in agreement. Although being tied for first place wasn’t as glorious as being the only first place, it was

still fair.

“Wait… look over there,” However, just as they

finally came to a conclusion, one of the girls on the team was stunned.

Just now, she had inadvertently caught a glimpse of a limping figure coming out of the

tent.

Silence. All four of them suddenly fell silent.

“Eh, how can it be him?” After a few seconds, someone finally broke the silence.

There probably wasn’t a single freshman who didn’t remember Li Pu.

“Cripple”, “first”, and “last”. These were all easy-to-remember labels.

“This is too much. To think he even got first place in the course selection competition?!” “And it looks like he’s moving alone?”

The four of them observed and found that the

other party’s condition was much better than theirs.

His clothes were much tidier, unlike their tattered clothes. Moreover, his back was straight, and he didn’t seem to be tired at all.

This situation made the four of them suspicious. “What’s going on? Could it be that he didn’t

run into any berserk magical beasts because he took a detour?”

“Are you an idiot? Didn’t the teacher we met just now say that all the plant-type magical beasts in the entire forest have gone berserk?”

“That’s right, even if he took a detour, he would still encounter berserk magical beasts. There’s no way he would be fine.”

“The point is that there’s only one path in the final stretch of the race. I didn’t see him overtake us..”

“So you’re saying that he really took a detour?”

“If he took a detour, wouldn’t he have to run a longer distance? But he’s a cripple…’ “Stop arguing. Since that’s the case, let’s say

the four of us are tied for second place,” In the end, it was again Fulde who ended the discussion with a helpless tone.

A tie for second place was a lot more awkward

than a tie for first place. It would even be embarrassing to say it out loud. “By the way, has he finished choosing his

classes?” At this moment, one of the girls among the four asked.

“Sure enough, everyone thinks the same. He

chose Flash. If that’s the case, then I’ll also

choose the same teacher,” Fulde stated his decision.

Flash was the course he wanted to choose. If he

could be in the same class as Li Pu, that would

be even better. This was because he yearned to

find an opportunity to experience the other party’s strength.

“Hey, you guys, look. He didn’t seem to have chosen Flash,” However, just as Fulde was thinking about it, the girl spoke up again to remind everyone. Everyone looked at Li Pu again and saw him

walk into the tent next door. “Umm…” x4

This time, the four of them were speechless.

Was he sure he saw the words on the tent? Wasn’t it too outrageous to choose a

Summoner skill like this? A cripple chose to learn Sprint???
