Chapter 34 The First Battle
In late autumn, the leaves are falling.

The leaves dance in the sunlight, creating golden waves.

"Hi, nice to see you again, can you tell me your name?"

The problematic girl rushed out, and her neat high ponytail swung back and forth as she walked, making people want to hold it in their hands and play with it. The dead leaf butterflies that accompanied the autumn leaves mixed in with the falling autumn leaves blown by the wind and moved away from the strange girl.

Bai Le's eyes moved slightly, and he moved away from the problematic girl Ding Xue.

When they first met, Ding Xue was like a mechanical puppet, madly exploring everything about him.

When they met for the second time, the girl stole his luggage. After checking, Bai Le did not find anything missing. His intuition told him that something must be wrong.

It is not an easy task to meet a problem girl. She has already begun to take advantage of the situation and try to get the name that will accompany Bai Le for his whole life. She is such a hateful thief.

"Hey, why are you ignoring me, Bai Le."

Ding Xue followed Bai Le closely. She took every step Bai Le took, and stopped when Bai Le stopped.

"Bai Le Bai Le, your name is Bai Le, right? Why are you ignoring me?"

"Are you lost again? The kind-hearted girl can lead the way for free. Of course, that's fine if you're willing to take responsibility for her."

The fresh and refined girl showed her unique charm without hesitation. Seeing that Bai Le ignored her, she continued to chirp like a noisy sparrow in the woods.

"I'll tell you a secret. My sister is Ding Yumian, and she's a great beauty. There's an endless stream of people pursuing her. If you beg me, I can give you a shortcut."

"Ding Yumian?"

When the problem girl Ding Xue heard Bai Le's murmurs, she froze for a moment, and then continued the conversation as if nothing had happened.

"You know my sister?"

"It sounds familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere before."

Bai Le looked straight at Ding Xue, sizing up this sister of Ding Yumian who was only mentioned briefly in the original novel.

"Take me to meet your sister when you have time. Maybe I can ask her for help in the future."

"Hey, you are still lusting after pretty girls. The help you mentioned is not to relieve your restlessness in the middle of the night, right?" Ding Xue joked with a smile, not showing any shyness, which made Bai Le uncomfortable.

The girl turned her back and talked to herself.

"How should I tell my sister that a perverted boy fell in love with her at first sight and secretly fell in love with her. Damn, my sister is still so charming. Just the name alone is enough to make people have wild thoughts."

Was the girl in question teasing him?

What's the meaning of fantasizing about the name and falling in love at first sight? She is indeed a strange girl. He just felt a little sorry for Ding Yumian's ending. A wizard who had a promising future turned into a ghost and came back for revenge.

Kill one person and save thousands and millions of people.

To kill or not to kill?

While he was lost in thought, the girl appeared in front of Bai Le again. Although they were very close, he could not smell any scent. This was the second time that Bai Le could not feel Ding Xue's presence.

Illusion?
"Can you help lead the way to the Fire Courtyard on the Qing campus?"

"How are you going to thank me?" Ding Xueman said seriously, Bai Le remained silent.

"It's just a joke. They said they would show you the way for free, but you should keep your word and not lie to others." Ding Xue shook her head and headed towards the Fire Department of Qing Campus.

"Tell you my name."

The girl turned sideways, and attentively admired the fallen leaves rolling down between them in the autumn wind.

"Are you serious?"

"Ah."

Bai Le said seriously.

"Take me to the Fire Courtyard of the Qing Campus, and I'll tell you my name."

The problem girl led the way with a smile.

······
Mingzhu Academy, Qing Campus, Fire Courtyard. After bringing Bai Le to the Fire Courtyard, Ding Xue quietly left. When Bai Le realized what was happening, she was gone.

What a strange girl.

Bai Le walked to the fire department classroom, and the spacious classroom was crowded. Unlike the sparsely populated Undead Department, after all, Bai Le was the only one in the country who awakened the Undead Department in his class, the Fire Department, which had a large population, was very common among mages. In class, the teacher explained the precautions for practicing the Fire Department, and Bai Le groped his way to the office of the head of the Fire Department alone.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Please come in."

Pushing open the door, the department head was browsing the information of this year's freshmen. Since there were more freshmen this year than in previous years, the department head was trying to allocate fire resources reasonably and strive to turn every resource into a sharp knife pointing at the demons.

"Classmate, what do you want from me?"

"Find someone to challenge!"

"Student, you've come to the wrong place. This is not a dueling arena. Please go to the dueling arena to settle personal grudges." The department head continued to read the materials, his tone a little unhappy. The freshman did not know the importance of the matter and always troubled him for everything.

Last year, two freshmen got into a fight out of jealousy, and both students ended up facing expulsion for openly using magic to duel in public.

"My instructor said that all of you in the Fire Academy are garbage, a bunch of useless embroidered pillows that look good but are useless."

"Who is so brave!"

The department head slammed the table, and it seemed that he had found an outlet to vent his frustration over the problems facing the freshmen.

"Professor Luo."

"Which Professor Luo? Even the Lord cannot speak like that."

"Professor Luo from the Undead Department."

"Oh, that's okay. You must be Bai Le who enrolled this year!" The department head's arrogance disappeared instantly and he continued to browse the new students' information.

"The teacher said I'm good at fire-related stuff. Can the dean help me pick someone?"

The department head flipped through the freshmen's information and finally stopped at one page.

Dongfang Yue, initial level three fire element, from the Dongfang family.

······
"Have you heard that this year's new student from the Undead Department has attacked the Fire College and claimed that no one in the entire Fire College can match him."

"What? A freshman from the Undead Department wants to challenge the entire Fire Department and threatens to take the heart of the most beautiful girl in the Fire Department."

Suddenly, a crowd surged and headed towards the duel arena.

"Be merciful!"

The fiery red-haired Dongfang Yue begged Bai Le to be gentle before she even came on the field. It is almost a theorem that a team of mages will fight against a monster of the same type. The single combat ability of the initial stage of the summoning system is not something that other systems can match, unless your summoned beast is really rubbish.

Although I haven't seen the undead system, it should be similar.

Dongfang Yue was unsure. It was true that he was from the Dongfang family, but he was only a side branch and did not have much resource support.

In the duel arena, the two men were a hundred meters apart.

A dark green light emerged, and the violent aura from the pitch-black gate swept across the duel field. The star track that Dongfang Yue was connecting to shook, and broke in the next moment.

From the gate of death, a snow-white skeleton came out holding a large shield.

Dongfang Yue's pressure doubled, sweat broke out on his forehead as he accelerated to connect to the star track.

The fighting scene imagined by the audience did not appear. The snow-white skeleton did not rush forward to fight like a demon, but just walked towards Dongfang Yue with a bone knife in hand without dodging or avoiding.

"How arrogant! He actually waited for Dongfang Yue to cast magic!"

"Maybe he really has the ability."

Seeing this, Dongfang Yue immediately released the third-level magic.

"Fire and explosion!"

Circle after circle of fire waves rolled around with the location where Huozi fell as the center, and the hot flames violently hit the white skeleton.

In the firelight, the white skeleton walked out safely holding a bone shield.

Dongfang Yue tried the same trick again, but unfortunately three consecutive explosions failed to break the bone shield.
