Chapter 184 – People Need Dreams (1/2)

Bamboo Academy definitely didn’t have it as easy as Loran Academy.

“Damn it!”

LingTian walked in front of everyone crestfallen and viciously cursed.

“What’s wrong? Don’t feel bad, Loran Academy’s so strong, so it’s normal we can’t beat them.” YaoZi walked up from behind and gently hugged his arm to comfort him.

YaoZi had a head full of short black hair, clean and fluffy. She was average height, slightly taller than LingTian, her slightly chubby figure made her look alluring and well-developed.

In comparison, LingTian was evidently much skinnier, along with his short black hair plus the fact he was shorter, one could tell that they were intimate siblings.

“But we can’t keep scurrying around like rodents, right? When we met Heino Kingdom before, you said we couldn’t beat the Golden Lion Devoru, so we escaped. Okay… when meeting Water Academy, you said we couldn’t beat the shield warrior Veblen, so we escaped again. Okay… now we met Loran Academy, where do we keep escaping to?”

LingTian shook his arm in annoyance and tried to escape from his sister’s grasp, but she held on even tighter.

“Wu… but running isn’t embarrassing! Since we can’t beat them, isn’t being able to escape a form of victory?” YaoZi blinked and earnestly replied.

“Running is a form of victory? Haha, you really are a good joker…” LingTian’s sister gave him a good laugh.

“It is, we didn’t participate to win in the first place.” YaoZi pouted in dissatisfaction, and patiently explained, “The principal said, as long as we can participate, then the academy could get subsidized by the town, so they can recruit more students, and our tuition for next year will also be free of charge.”

“But! But…” LingTian was too angry to endure, but he couldn’t retort.

That’s right, they participated to get subsidized, there was no way they could win.

But winning was LingTian’s dream! He wanted to be the number one magician on the continent, to become a hero… no, he wanted to be an existence even more powerful than a hero!

But, they were just a small rural academy, other than him and YaoZi being fifth-level magicians, their two other teammates were only fourth-level warriors. It definitely wasn’t much on this island filled with strong people.

Thanks to LingTian, they were luckily able to survive until the fourth day.

LingTian specialized in ice magic and had a sapphire staff that could amplify ice magic. Relying on his magic, they were able to last until now.

Although they were able to survive, obtaining points would just be wishful thinking.

Now they currently had 18 points, all from collecting silver leaf fruits. They never obtained any plunder points and were undoubtedly at the bottom in terms of ability on this island.

How would they be able to win like this? They would have to be super-duper lucky!

“Hey, look, another silver leaf fruit!”

As they were walking, a silver leaf fruit in front of them caught their teammate’s attention. He quickly ran over and collected the points.

“But, it’s a bit strange…”

After absorbing its energy, the number inside the crystal changed from 18 to 19, but their teammate held that fruit and fell into thought.

“Eh? Another one?” LingTian stopped arguing with his sister and curiously looked over.

The silver fruit leaves here were all very strange, they were all extremely shiny, like they were coated with something extra.

But since they were able to get points it was probably fine, so they didn’t delve into it.

“YaoZi, I heard that silver leaf fruits have breast enhancement effects, do you want to eat some?” A female teammate jokingly asked YaoZi.

“But Shani, why would I need that?” YaoZi naively asked.

“Isn’t your dream to marry a hero? I heard that the more powerful men like big breasts. So, why don’t you try it?” Shani covered her mouth and endured from laughing.

“Shani! What are you saying? I-I don’t have that kind of dream!”

YaoZi’s face flushed redder the more she spoke, she had no idea on how to retort and had to rely on her little brother.
