Chapter 43

【Another 700 VIP points and a monthly ticket from Hua Wu. Are all the big spenders planning to go on a spree together? Every time it's a thousand or more, the fragile heart of the thief can't take it!】

The next day, in the special skills class, when Luo Feng arrived at the classroom, he found another student inside.

Yesterday, he was the only one who had chosen the special skills course.

Seeing him, Luo Feng blurted out in surprise, "Arlen?"

Arlen, with his legs crossed, looked relaxed, "What, is it strange to see me?"

Yesterday, when he found out that Luo Feng had come to the special skills class, he was very puzzled. After following Luo Feng to class for so long, suddenly missing him for two classes made him feel a bit uncomfortable. Normally, he could tease him, and time would pass quickly. Without Luo Feng around, Arlen was quite bored. He also wanted to know why Luo Feng was in such a hurry to learn special skills, so he came without a word.

Luo Feng, embarrassed, said, "Arlen, you know I came to the special skills course, but what are you doing here?"

"What else can I do in the special skills class? Learn cultivation techniques?" Arlen tried to be humorous, but Luo Feng didn't find it funny, "You're just being silly!"

Arlen's face turned serious, "What do you mean by silly? You can choose, but I can't? Are you looking down on me, thinking you're better than me? Humph, after becoming the class president, you're starting to act all high and mighty!"

Luo Feng knew he liked to sulk, so he quickly apologized, "Arlen, of course, that's not what I meant. However, special skills are really hard to master. Even I might just be wasting time, so I didn't want you to waste your time either. I know you like to attend classes with me, but sometimes you have to think about your own studies and not be so capricious."

"Who likes to attend classes with you? Who's being capricious?" Arlen huffed, "I'm here to choose the special skills course on my own, it has nothing to do with you. You can sit further away too!"

"Alright, alright, it's my fault, okay." Luo Feng felt a bit helpless. This roommate, though a bit girlish, could be as stubborn as a rock, and no one could change his mind. The class was about to start, so Luo Feng sat down next to Arlen, thinking about how to persuade him to give up the special skills course after class.

The bell rang, and Simon appeared on time. He had hoped that Luo Feng would be discouraged by the extremely difficult special skills theories and methods he taught yesterday and not show up again. However, he found that not only did Luo Feng come, but there was also another person in the classroom, which made Simon very frustrated.

Moreover, Simon soon noticed that this student was also from Class 8, Grade 1, which meant he might be another waste of his time. This made him curse inwardly.

These students nowadays, all so ambitious, what do they think learning special skills is, a game?

Damn it, my easy job is over!

With a bad mood, Simon asked sternly, "The new student, please introduce yourself briefly."

Arlen stood up, "Class 8, Grade 1, Arlen!"

Simon said, "Alright, Arlen, what special skill do you want to learn?"

Arlen pointed at Luo Feng, "Mentor, whatever he learns, I'll learn too."

"What, are you sure?" Simon frowned deeply, "Luo Feng chose a five-star special skill. Do you really want to learn that with him?"

Five-star special skill?

Arlen was surprised. Yesterday, he had only followed Luo Feng to the special skills classroom without eavesdropping, as the mentors in the academy were all strong and might have noticed his presence. So, he didn't know what special skill Luo Feng had chosen.

A five-star special skill, the one that most exceeds the limits of a martial artist and is also the most difficult to master!

For him, even a five-star special skill was no problem, but for Luo Feng to also want to learn it seemed a bit overconfident.

Since he had already said it, Arlen couldn't take it back, so he nodded, "Yes, I'll learn that!"

Humph, such a capricious student, but whether it's one-star or five-star, it doesn't matter because he definitely won't be able to learn it. At least teaching the same special skill saves me some effort!

Thinking this, Simon didn't say anything more and started the class.

After two classes, just as Luo Feng was about to say something, Simon came over, "Arlen, I want to talk to you. Luo Feng, it seems you're friends, but please wait outside the classroom for a moment. It won't take long."

From the tone of Mentor Simon, it seemed he also wanted to persuade Arlen to give up the special skills course, which would save Luo Feng some effort.

Thinking this, Luo Feng nodded, "Okay, mentor."

Then, he left the classroom.

As Luo Feng had guessed, Simon wanted to reduce the number of students, but this time it wasn't because of the trouble. Since they were learning the same special skill, one more or one less student didn't make much difference. Although Simon didn't want students in his class, he wasn't a completely irresponsible mentor. Those who couldn't possibly learn special skills but insisted on trying would only harm themselves, so Simon usually tried hard to dissuade them.

Luo Feng was different. After the two classes yesterday, Simon had deliberately asked a few questions, and Luo Feng's answers had surprised him. He found that this student from the basic class had an extremely high comprehension ability, and mastering special skills was not entirely hopeless.

However, a student like Luo Feng was rare in the basic class, and you couldn't expect another one.

"I know everyone wants to master special skills, but have you thought about how much time, sweat, and effort it takes? Moreover, your efforts may not necessarily yield results. I've seen many students blindly pursuing special skills, including some with very good foundations and high talent, who were full of confidence..." Simon said the same thing to Arlen, a speech he had given to countless students he thought couldn't learn special skills, which he knew by heart.

However, this time, Simon didn't finish.

Before he could finish, Arlen activated his Aura.

A layer of colorful energy surrounded him, like a rainbow, extremely beautiful. Some parts were deep blue and water-like, some were semi-transparent and flowing like wind, and there were also silver currents and a milky white glow like the sun...

Demon Aura, and it was seven-attribute Demon Aura!

Simon's eyes widened, "Rainbow Aura!"

Arlen smiled faintly, "Mentor Simon, now, do you think I have the qualifications to learn special skills?"

Simon wiped his sweat. A first-year student had reached the Demon Aura stage, and it was even seven-attribute. If he didn't have the qualifications to learn special skills, then no one did.

Moreover, in that family, there was currently only one person with a seven-attribute Rainbow Aura.

She had already reached the age suitable for advanced studies at the academy and had received attention from many prestigious schools, but she had disappeared and hadn't attended any school. The people in the Holy City weren't surprised because the little demoness Scarlett was a capricious person.

But you had to admit, she had the capital to be capricious. Even among the generations of super-strong bloodline families, she was a rare genius. Even without attending school, she would still achieve great things.

Simon hadn't expected that she would quietly come to the Starlight Academy and join the basic class under this identity.

"Of course, you have the qualifications." Simon couldn't help but say, "But, S..."

"Shh, Mentor Simon," Arlen interrupted him, "I have my own reasons. Please keep this a secret, thank you."

"Alright!" Simon nodded, feeling very curious.

Not to mention why she was here under this identity, the special skill he was teaching now was meaningless to her.

However, the little demoness's thoughts were beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

A genius is just that capricious!

However, the basic class of the Starlight Academy had produced two oddities, and this one was even more peculiar. This would certainly make things interesting!

Seeing his roommate come out of the classroom, Luo Feng immediately went up to him, "Arlen, the mentor must have talked to you. I also think you shouldn't practice special skills, at least not now."

Arlen rolled his eyes, "No, the mentor has agreed to let me stay in the special skills class."

"What?" Luo Feng was taken aback. As far as he knew, Simon was a very demanding mentor who didn't want to teach students with little hope of mastering special skills. When he first came, Simon had tried to persuade him, and even though he had insisted on staying, Simon still seemed reluctant. It wasn't until after the two classes yesterday, when he saw Luo Feng's performance, that he finally agreed.

Now, he had agreed to Arlen's selection. What was going on?

Luo Feng frowned, very puzzled, muttering to himself, "There's no reason, how is that possible?"

"What's impossible about it!" Arlen raised his head, very proud, "I've always said I'm very capable. Mentor Simon thinks I have high talent and a chance to learn special skills. It's that simple, you just look down on me!"

"I don't." Luo Feng smiled apologetically but was still confused.

Perhaps, Mentor Simon just thought his roommate was too stubborn to be persuaded and decided to ignore him.

Arlen was probably just being stubborn. After a few more classes, he might realize how difficult it was to learn special skills and give up. Let him be capricious for a few days!
