Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 707: See the real - tomorrow morning (new book content)

He was very much looking forward to encountering 'bad students' who broke such rules.

This place exudes weirdness everywhere.

Seeing all fifteen people fall silent, Zhuang Xu said quietly, "If you don't come out soon, you'll regret it when I catch you."

Li Qing quietly stepped out from the crowd, facing the various emotions in the students' gazes, trying to keep his voice calm.

"It's me."

Zhuang Xu, who had been standing still, finally moved. He slowly approached Li Qing, and only then did Li Qing realize that the other was extremely tall, at least two and a half meters, very thin, but with a huge build, making him feel an intense sense of pressure.

Zhuang Xu showed a slightly intrigued look, walking around Li Qing.

"Not bad, not bad, it seems you've already awakened your talent."

"Talent?" Li Qing was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled.

"Haven't you been practicing fireball meditation all along?"

"...If that counts as a talent, I have no words to say."

Li Qing felt a bit of a stomachache, although this Gray Magic Academy was full of weirdness, the style seemed a bit skewed.

"I see, so this is the talent one gets when humans transition to mage at thirty."

"What's the deal with rubbing fireballs, it's the Fireball Technique in the orthodox magic system, is this even considered a talent?" someone sneered.

"Hehe, beings like you have no idea how terrifying a talent can be when a human awakens a magic staff, but it's just that, after all, just a human, a mere human..."

"If only we could possess him."

"Looks quite tasty."

Various malicious whispers continuously reached Li Qing's ears, making his whole body tense and his heart pound incessantly.

These 'people' are absolutely not human; could there be so many variants on Earth?

Zhuang Xu seemed oblivious, turning with a slight quirky smile to face the fifteen people, raising his hands to reveal a pair of sharp azure-black hands.

Gently rubbing his palms, a dozen or so objects resembling badges appeared in his wide palms.

Then, with a slight shake of his hands, these badges floated lightly before everyone.

"These are your school badges, and they are your proof to enter the Gray Magic Academy. Go ahead and bind them, preferably a soul bind."

Zhuang Xu glanced at Li Qing, seemingly coincidentally, and continued, "Hmm... just focus your attention on the badge. As long as you can meditate a line, that's enough. This is also your first entrance assessment."

Watching everyone extend their hands to take hold, Li Qing finally reached out and grasped the badge, examining it closely.

Seeing Li Qing so cautious, Zhuang Xu chuckled softly.

Watching everyone activate and bind their badges, the spiritual fluctuations revealed were both weak and strong.

"Everyone, there's one more thing. Follow the guidance of your badge to your respective safe houses. Classes start tomorrow at dawn, don't be late, or suffer the consequences."

Looking at the copper-colored badge in his hand, with magic text engraving 'Gray Magic Academy Student ID' on it, Li Qing's heart moved slightly, not daring to induce too many lines of light in his mind.

Just now, Li Qing captured Zhuang Xu's words, binding the badge doesn't require much power.

Fixing his gaze on the badge, he gently nudged a line in the light ball shrouded in dim light in his mind, then saw the magic rune hidden on the badge silently emerge. After slightly twisting a few characters, the badge disappeared from his hand.

Replaced by a complex talisman appearing on his wrist, like a black tattoo, radiating an ominous aura in Li Qing's eyes.

At the same time, more information appeared in his mind, being the badge's guidance function.

As he looked straight ahead, it felt like something was tempting him, a strong force, then a bit painful, always feeling something was probing deeply.

Li Qing withdrew his gaze, lowered his hand.

By the time he raised his head again, Zhuang Xu had already disappeared without a trace, it seemed his task was just to distribute the badges, and that was it.

"Safe house..."

The information those three words conveyed was quite terrifying, meaning that except for the safe house, other areas are filled with danger.

Watching the students disperse, heading to their safe houses as guided by the badges, Li Qing was about to move when a soft female voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Human, what's your name?"

Li Qing turned to look, it was the one who seemed like a tentacle monster, Anna, hiding under the hood, her eyes like blood-red gems, staring straight at him.

Li Qing remained silent, or rather, he had no intention of answering Anna's question. In this magic academy, the only thing he could do was remain silent and observe everything quietly until he understood, thoroughly.

Only then would Li Qing have the qualifications to do what he wanted.

Seeing Li Qing remain silent, Anna's blood-red gem-like eyes unknowingly emitted a faint red glow.

Countless whispering voices suddenly filled Li Qing's ears, as if numerous evil ghosts were whispering, tempting him to lose his sanity, to turn him into a walking corpse.

In the next moment, Li Qing felt a few faint magic rune marks appear on his black robe uniform, and then a faint black aura emanated from the robe, swirling around him.

He woke up instantly, those devilish voices quickly faded away, disappearing entirely.

"Damn it!!!"

Anna let out a low roar, her voice deep and hoarse, like an evil ghost from the abyss roaring, far from the previous soft voice.

Her voice was sinister, her eyes bloodthirsty.

Li Qing took an imperceptible half-step back, clenching his fists tightly, pretending to be indifferent as he passed by Anna, following the badge's guidance to his safe house.

"One more thing..."

Zhuang Xu's voice suddenly drifted over: "Here, never reveal your true name, it might plunge you and the world behind you into disaster."

Li Qing felt his heart tremble, a feeling of great terror spreading across his chest, but he maintained his composure, continuing to walk away quickly.

Zhuang Xu had been observing the situation here, such a belated warning, his intentions were clear.

No one here is decent.

The other students had already hurried away, leaving only Anna standing there, her chest heaving, countless eyes opening under her hood, glaring at Li Qing disappearing from her sight.

Jes, who had been observing all along, spoke with a hint of mockery: "Anna, Your Highness, humans are sometimes not so easily bullied, little..."

"Shut up!!!"

A wave of sound, composed of countless voices, surged towards Jes.

However, the sound waves disappeared into thin air within three feet of Jes, as if a gentle breeze brushed past.
