581: Giant Waves

“Xiao Ye, aren’t you afraid of getting a tummy ache after eating so much food?” Theresa was honestly a worried about whether the little guy’s stomach would be OK with so much food. If he got sick from overeating, the assistant principal would not spare her.

Thinking of being targeted by the assistant principal made Theresa regret not being stricter with Little Bun. She wished she hadn’t been swayed by his smile and allowed him to eat so much.

“Mom doesn’t take Xiao Ye out to play, so I can only heal my wounded heart with food.” Xiao Ye said seriously with a poker face, the spitting image of Feng Wu’s expression.

The corners of Theresa’s mouth quirked up involuntarily a few times. When did his heart get hurt ah? He ran off nearly every day and the assistant principal had students go out and search for him. He walked nearly everywhere on campus and played with the students, who inevitably always gave him snacks. With all the food he got, it would take him years to finish everything.

With such a leisurely life, how could he have a wounded heart?

Speaking of which, who taught him those words? Who talked so randomly in front of such a small child? It was easy to turn a good child bad you know.

Theresa, who was rushing back to campus, made up her mind to find the person who spoke so carelessly in front of Little Bun and give the person a good warning. Let’s see if the person dared talk like that again.

Suddenly, a tremor rocked the city.

“What is going on? Was that an earthquake?”

“It’s terrible, why did it shake so violently just now?!”

“My boy! Be careful, don’t step on him!”

“Mom! Where are you? Mom!”

“Don’t jostle my booth! I just baked a cake here!”

“My fruits! Don’t step on them!”

It was a mess everywhere, but fortunately the quality build of the houses in the city were good and there were no large scale collapses.

“Look, the sea water! The sea water is flooding over!” A burst of terrified shouts suddenly sounded.

Theresa looked back sharply to see dozens of huge waves cresting against the city walls. It was unusual for waves to build up so suddenly and fiercely.

“Attention, all water magicians in years six and seven, immediately fly up and stop the waves! This is a test.” A majestic voice suddenly made an announcement. It was the school principal.

What to do? Theresa was a water magician so she had to follow orders and stop the waves, but there was Little Bun to consider.

What should she do with him?

Just then Little Bun yawned and his eyes squinted shut cutely.

While Theresa was hesitating, water magicians from the academy flew to the sky and blue lights flashed bang, bang one after another.

So many people were already up fighting against the waves, Theresa couldn’t hesitate any longer. She told Xiao Ye she was sorry but that she had to leave him behind. She turned around and handed him to a kind-hearted lady who knew she was a senior from the academy. The old lady promised to take care of Little Bun until she returned.

With Xiao Ye settled, Theresa didn’t dare delay and took directly to the sky to battle the heavy waves.

The waves were tall and gigantic with astonishing momentum. There were over three hundred water magicians from both years fighting the waves. It would have been impossible for any one of them to do it alone – they had to work together as unit.

There was strong water magic within the waves too, so despite all of them working together, their hands holding their staffs trembled and they were sweaty and pale from exertion.

What was under all that water? Why was it so powerful that even three hundred higher level academy students couldn’t withstand it?

“Come! Everyone! We can’t lose!” roared a powerful water magician from the seventh year.

It was true; they couldn’t lose. This was a test arranged by the head of the school himself. It would be shameful if they lost. How could they face the principal? How could they hold their heads up as water magicians? They would be severely ridiculed by the other divisions.

Thinking about all this immediately firmed their resolve and their eyes filled with determination. Their power output increased as they scraped every last reserve they had to fight the waves.

The two sides were in a stalemate and everyone watching wondered if the water magicians had what it took to succeed.

“If they can’t do it, then we’ll go. Even a single person would be able to stop those waves. Honestly, those water magicians are useless.”

“You talk big for a fire elemental. It’s the gold magicians who will go. Our gold element is the most lethal amongst the five elementals.”

“Don’t forget earth elementals. For something like this, earth elementals are better suited. We can create walls of earth to stop the waves.”

“Every one of you are out of your minds. I can’t believe you don’t realize there is something weird about the waves. There’s got to be something extraordinary inside it all.”

“What? You mean under the water?”

“There’s no way the principal would dispatch all the water magicians in the sixth and seventh years just for an ordinary wave. There’s got to be something special about it. I wonder if there are big shots hidden inside. Anyways, you can see the water magicians are afraid. It’s definitely trouble.”

While the students were discussing the water magicians, the city residents had worried expressions on their faces as they watched the waves.

“Can those students do it? We won’t drown in the waves, will we?!”

“What are you panicking about? If they can’t do it, there are other people who will. We have so many powerful forces in Zhongyang. What could possibly happen?”

“Exactly.”

Among the people watching the water magicians fight the waves, no one noticed that somewhere in the city, a kind-hearted old lady fell to the ground with a bleeding head wound. She muttered something about a child. A pity, everyone was concerned with the waves and no one saw her lying in a pool of her own blood. . .
