: Xiaomi's True Strength, Catching Mo Fan's Little Tail

Before the applause on the stage had completely subsided, Lin Mian hurriedly stepped down from the podium and walked straight towards the class of Class 8, Grade 1.

As soon as he rejoined the team, his classmates couldn't help but secretly peek at the Mika on his shoulder, their eyes full of curiosity and envy.

The little guy perched on Lin Mian's shoulder may not seem to have much fighting power, but he's really cute.

"Brother Mian, what's your little pet...?"

A thin, dark-skinned boy in the front row came over and asked in a low voice.

"The monkey, its name is Xiaomi, is a companion I brought from the summoning plane."

Lin Mian offered a casual explanation without elaborating further.

Zhang Xiaohou nodded as if he understood but not quite.

He had heard of summoning other planes before.

Summoning mages fight by summoning creatures brought from the summoning plane.

Completely different from ordinary mages who cast spells, he's more like a beast tamer.

However, Zhang Xiaohou had neither heard of nor seen the summoned creature called Xiaomi on Lin Mian's shoulder.

It's probably the juvenile stage of some kind of creature.

They look so cute, but textbooks often say that cute creatures are usually weak in combat...

I feel sorry for Mian Ge for three minutes.

However, the summoning system also includes contracted beasts; a single summoned creature doesn't prove anything.

Mian Ge will definitely become very, very strong in the future.

Just then, a fat man in the crowd ahead was overjoyed when he heard that Mika was Lin Mian's summoned beast.

He walked straight up to Lin Mian, his face undisguised in mockery: "Lin Mian, your summoned beast is quite cute, but unfortunately, it's all show and no substance."

"I thought you'd become an extraordinary person after awakening your summoning abilities, but instead you summoned something with absolutely no combat power!"

"That's ridiculous. I'll awaken a fire elemental power later and roast you, you little squirrel, and eat you."

Zhao Kunsan harbored a deep hatred for Lin Mian.

In his view, if Lin Mian hadn't been so dazzling when they were young, causing Mu Ningxue to get too close to him and infuriating Mu Zhuoyun, the local tyrant of Bocheng, he would have been in trouble.

By forbidding Mu Ningxue from all contact with her companions, Zhao Kunsan wouldn't be unable to reach the little princess and would also suffer the Mu family's furious wrath.

All of this is Lin Mian's fault.

"You think you're very capable?" Lin Mian said calmly.

"So what if it is?"

"Your previous self-awakening truly made you a genius of Bo City."

"But what about now? With you summoning that useless squirrel, I can easily subdue you even without awakening magic!"

The contempt in Zhao Kun's eyes was almost overflowing.

The past is the past, the present is the present.

Lin Mian used to be incredibly dazzling, but now he's a cripple.

"Mika~!"

Mika understood Zhao Kunsan's words. Even though it had a good temper, the fat man in front of it had already offended both it and Lin Mian.

"Go, Xiaomi, let him see what's what."

Although Lin Mian didn't want to make a move in public, this fatso really thought Mika was an inferior being.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mika jumped off his shoulder.

The small, orange-red figure drew an arc in the air and landed steadily on the ground between Lin Mian and Zhao Kunsan.

It raised its head, its round eyes fixed on Zhao Kunsan, its cheeks puffing out slightly.

Zhao Kun looked down at the tiny creature on the ground, which wasn't even half the size of his own bottom, and chuckled, "Oh, it's got quite a temper, isn't it?"

He deliberately took a step forward, looking down at Mika with a mocking expression that almost overflowed.

"This little thing, I'll kick it..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Mika suddenly shuddered, and his orange-red body burst forth with a dazzling light!

The light came without warning, intense and scorching, like a small sun exploding out of thin air.

Zhao Kun felt a sudden white light before his eyes, his pupils stinging from the intense light. He instinctively staggered back two steps and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Ah... my eyes!" He covered his face with his hands, rolling around on the ground in a sorry state, his voice filled with terror.

The surrounding students were also startled by the sudden bright light and retreated, causing a momentary commotion.

But the light came and went quickly, disappearing completely in just two or three breaths.

Mika reappeared before everyone, still with that round, soft appearance, her little hands on her hips, her head tilted slightly as she looked at Lin Mian.

"Well done, Xiaomi." Lin Mian patted Mika's head.

Xiaomi uses Amadeus light.

Zhao Kunsan's eyes will definitely not recover in half a day.

Let him be blind for half a day, because he looked down on people.

"What...what is this?"

"What was that light just now? It was so bright!"

"Was that the little guy making that sound? It looks so weak!"

The surrounding chatter rose and fell, and the gazes directed at Mika had changed from "So cute" to surprise and uncertainty.

Zhao Kunsan finally managed to get up from the ground, his eyes red and swollen. He tried to look around, but found that he could not see anything at all...

"Mu Bai! Mu Bai, save me!"

Mu Bai, who had been watching from a distance, twitched at the corner of his mouth when he heard Zhao Kunsan's words.

That guy is really stupid!

However, Mu Bai also gave Lin Mian a deep look.

If Lin Mian's casually summoned creature were to get serious, it could definitely make Zhao Kun pay with his life.

Mu Bai eventually stepped forward and helped Zhao Kunsan up.

From now on, this guy probably won't bother Lin Mian anymore.

"Mu Bai, please take care of him. He'll be able to see in half a day."

Lin Mian's voice rang out slowly and deliberately, with a hint of lazy laughter.

Mika jumped back onto his shoulder, squinted comfortably, and gently brushed its tail against his neck, behaving as obediently as if the earth-shattering light from just now had nothing to do with it.

Mu Bai nodded, then turned and left with Zhao Kunsan.

The homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng, had witnessed everything that had happened, but why should a teacher like him meddle in other people's business?

It was Zhao Kun who provoked and mocked Lin Mian, who was ranked first in the entire grade.

Xue Musheng wanted to kick Zhao Kunsan a couple more times.

Principal Zhu had to treat Lin Mian with utmost respect, fearing that Lin Mian would drop out of school.

And it must be said that Lin Mian's summoned creatures look cute, but they are really fierce when they attack!

It seems to be an elemental creature with the attribute of light!

Lin Mian is truly an extraordinary student!

Zhang Xiaohou then sidled up to Lin Mian, his eyes sparkling: "Brother Mian! Brother Mian! What was that move Xiaomi just made? It was amazing!"

"Just a little trick," Lin Mian said casually.

Zhang Xiaohou didn't press for details, but his gaze towards Mika clearly became one of admiration.

How could a creature capable of controlling the elements be simple?

After this little incident, the way the other students looked at Mika changed completely.

It's cute as it is, but this little thing is really capable.

"By the way, Brother Mian, you predicted that Brother Fan would awaken the fire element. Can you predict it for me too?" Zhang Xiaohou said excitedly.

Lin Mianke has been known for her intelligence since childhood!

From a young age, he was the "other people's child" that parents always talked about.

Moreover, when they were very young, Lin Mian told Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou that Mu Ningxue would awaken her ice element and that Mu Caihuan would join the city's monster-hunting team.

And it all came true.

Now that Lin Mian has summoned the powerful creature Xiaomi, it wouldn't be bad to share in the joy.

"Your element is wind," Lin Mian said, glancing at Zhang Xiaohou.

"Thank you for your kind words, Brother Mian!"

If he could really awaken the wind element, Zhang Xiaohou thought it would be pretty good.

It's at least not a light or water system, which is so weak it's practically a death sentence.

Before long, each class, led by their respective head teacher, stood in front of their corresponding awakening stone.

In the center of the training field, more than a thousand students stood in a large group.

At the very front were twenty awakening stone platforms, each inlaid with an awakening stone that emitted a faint glow.

Class 8 of Grade 1 was assigned to the east side of the training field. Lin Mian stood at the back of the line, with Mo Fan in front of him.

Lin Mian stayed here to witness the future awakening of the God of Magic, and also to catch Mo Fan's little tail...

The awakening process was very fast.

Mu Bai awakened the ice element, Zhou Min awakened the fire element, and Lin Mian didn't pay much attention to the others.

"Next up, Zhang Xiaohou."

Teacher Xue Musheng, who was at the very front, shouted loudly.

"Go, monkey!"

"Keep a calm mind, monkey."

Mo Fan and Lin Mian both offered words of encouragement.

Zhang Xiaohou nodded to the two of them, then walked to the Awakening Stone, quickly got into the zone, and began his magical awakening.

"Zhang Xiaohou, wind element," Xue Musheng said, glancing at the bluish-green awakening stone.

As expected, the future General Zhang Xiaohou successfully awakened wind magic.

Zhang Xiaohou looked gratefully at Lin Mian below the stage.

Mian Ge was right after all!

He really awakened the wind element! He's practically a prophet!

"The last one, number 48, Mo Fan."

After a short while, Xue Musheng called out to the last person.

"I'm going, Old Mian."

After saying this, Mo Fan calmly walked onto the podium.

Lin Mian quietly watched Mo Fan, as if he had expected him to awaken some kind of element.

Mo Fan on the stage slowly placed his hand on the Awakening Stone.

"Lightning type! It's lightning type! Someone has awakened their lightning type!"

Just then, the astonishing news came from the next class that someone had awakened their lightning element.

The classmates immediately gathered around, including Zhang Xiaohou.

Class 8 was suddenly left with only Mo Fan and Lin Mian.

The light from the Awakening Stone under Mo Fan's command changed from purple to red, a fact that only Lin Mian noticed.

After discovering that he was a genius with two innate abilities, Mo Fan on the stage suddenly burst into laughter, seemingly lost in his own fantasies.

He looked around and saw that everyone in his class had gone to the next class. But when he turned around and saw the back of his own class, his eyes met Lin Mian's.

"Damn, Lao Mian, what are you still doing here?" Mo Fan gave an awkward smile, thinking to himself, "So, does that mean he's the only one who knows about my dual-elemental nature?"

Just then, the students in the class returned one after another.

"Holy crap, Mo Fan, how did you awaken fire element?!"

"However, neither fire nor lightning from Xu Zhaoting in the next class can compare to Lin Mian's summoning ability."

"Yeah, yeah, Lin Mian's summoning system already has powerful and cute summoned creatures, we still need to connect with Stars to cast magic."

"Why compare ourselves to the great Lin Mian? We should look up to Mo Fan; at least the gap isn't that big."

Mo Fan's awakening of fire magic made his classmates extremely envious.

Of course, Lin Mian is still the strongest.

"Great, Mo Fan, judging by the color of the flames, your fire-type talent is quite impressive!"

Teacher Xue Musheng patted Mo Fan on the shoulder and encouraged him.

I originally thought Mo Fan was a problem student, but now it seems he's not at all.

There's already a summoner in the class, and now there's a genius like Mo Fan.

The prize money is guaranteed!

Mo Fan ignored Xue Musheng's praise and kept looking at the smiling Lin Mian.

We can't let Lin Mian reveal his talent.

He was even planning to play dumb to take advantage of the situation!
