Chapter 21 - The Golden Sparring Partner (part 3)

As Asura hurriedly looked up, a girl with long blue hair stood before him.

The most striking feature of the girl was her long, slender legs, creating the visual impression that her entire body below the chest was just legs.

Her face was cold and elegant, and her fox-like eyes added a touch of allure to her appearance.

With her blue hair tied into a high ponytail, she radiated the energy of a lively and youthful girl!

Seeing Asura's eyes move from her legs up and down, the girl narrowed her fox-like eyes but said nothing.

As she squinted, Asura's natural instinct for danger immediately kicked in, and he quickly realized he should no longer stare at her legs.

He could tell that, with Enger's mischievous behavior, this blue-haired girl was definitely no ordinary person. He couldn't afford to be beaten for no reason anymore!

Immediately, Asura shouted, "I object! I need to go back to magic class! Find another sparring partner for her! I think that big guy over there wants to spar with her—why not have him instead?"

He pointed to a tall male student who had been sneaking glances at the blue-haired girl while walking out. The tall student immediately lowered his head, embarrassed.

However, Instructor Enger paid no attention to Asura. He merely said, "Start!"

As soon as the word left his mouth, Asura felt a wind behind him. He quickly did a forward roll to dodge the kick aimed at his head.

The girl, light on her feet, landed gracefully and immediately assumed an attacking stance, beckoning Asura with a finger!

This infuriated Asura. Who could stand being beaten up by girls every day?

Immediately, Asura stood up and yelled, "If you're forcing me to fight, I won't hold back! Watch out for my ultimate technique, Wind God Kick! Hiyaa! Look at my legs!"

Hearing his bold declaration, the blue-haired girl, Lan Yu, immediately took him seriously, fully prepared to defend herself.

But as she focused, she saw the boy who had just shouted now running towards the training grounds' exit!

Lan Yu's face grew paler in frustration. With a snort, she sped up, chasing after the black-haired boy in no time!

Thus, the training field became a scene of a boy running for his life while a girl chased and attacked him.

More accurately, it was a one-sided pursuit where the girl was relentlessly chasing and attacking while the boy desperately tried to escape. The girl's speed was so fast that Asura couldn't help but groan in misery.

He could only react quickly to block her whip-like kicks. The footprints on his magic robe were more numerous than yesterday...

At the other end of the field, the red-haired girl, Maggie, glanced around the training lineup but didn't see the black-haired boy from yesterday who always wore a mischievous grin.

With the physical training session being somewhat dull, she looked around aimlessly to pass the time!

Suddenly, she saw two figures engaged in a frantic chase at the edge of the training field. She instantly recognized the one running ahead as the very black-haired boy she had been searching for!

And the one chasing him, she also recognized—Lan Yu, from the Lan family. Their cities were not far apart, and both families often compared their younger generations. Lan Yu was one of the top talents from the Lan family!

How did this troublemaker end up with Lan Yu?

Was he acting as her sparring partner? Maggie's mood immediately soured.

It felt as though her beloved toy had been stolen by another child...

Asura, after being kicked and rolling several times, finally came to a stop against a large tree. Just as he tried to get up and run again, two long legs appeared in front of him. One foot pressed against his neck while the other leg supported the ground, effectively pinning him against the tree.

At that moment, the bell signaling the end of the second class rang.

Asura immediately grabbed the foot pressing against his neck and opened a gap, shouting, "Class is over, no more fighting! If you continue, it's just unnecessary assault on another student, and I'll report you to the academy!"

Lan Yu, with slight breathlessness, was annoyed. This guy was too sly. She, who specialized in speed, had to exert nearly all her effort to chase this tricky guy, who kept changing directions and making surprise attacks!

But, she found the chase quite enjoyable. It suited her family's martial arts practice!

At this moment, Lan Yu noticed that Asura still had his hands gripping her foot. Her face turned red, and she tried to pull her foot back, but he was holding on too tightly.

Lan Yu's beautiful fox eyes narrowed again, this time with a mix of irritation and embarrassment.

Asura immediately let go and slid down the tree, sitting on the ground while panting heavily.

Seeing the many footprints on his magic robe, Lan Yu wanted to laugh, but she restrained herself due to her dignity.

With a calm expression, she said, "It was fun practicing with you. Next time, remember to come find me again!"

She then turned and skipped away, her blue ponytail swaying behind her.

Asura gritted his teeth and glared at her retreating figure, thinking, "Am I some kind of masochist? Next time I'll switch classes! I don't believe Enger teaches in every class!"

Leaning against the tree, Asura was about to get up and brush the footprints off his robe when another pair of long legs appeared in his line of sight. Slowly, he lifted his head, only to find Maggie glaring down at him fiercely. The sunlight filtering through the leaves illuminated her pale, flawless face, enhancing her youthful beauty.

Asura swallowed nervously. What did this crazy woman want now?

He forced a grin on his face, thinking it was a dazzling smile, and just as he was about to greet her, Maggie suddenly coldly asked, "Did you enjoy being beaten up by her? Who told you to be her sparring partner?"

The sudden question left Asura stunned. What was she implying? Did she think he had a masochistic tendency?

Before he could answer, Maggie bent down, her eyes locked onto his, and with an intense pressure, she said, "From now on, you're only allowed to be my sparring partner! Of course, I'll look out for you, and no one will bully you at the academy!"

Maggie finished speaking but received no response from Asura. She followed his gaze to where his eyes were fixed.

Her deep cleavage, exposed from bending down, was now directly in front of Asura.

Maggie let out a surprised gasp and quickly grabbed her collar, standing up. She was about to draw a large sword from her spatial ring.

Realizing trouble was coming, Asura immediately shouted, "Calm down, big sis, we're on the same side! I'm your cousin Arthur's roommate, let's talk this through!"

Maggie snorted coldly after hearing him and said, "So you're Arthur's useless roommate, huh? Perfect. From now on, if I can't find you, I'll just go to your dorm to find you! Remember what I said! Hmph~"

With that, Maggie proudly turned around and walked away, leaving Asura standing there, wallowing in self-pity...

On the other side, Lan Yu, feeling in a good mood, skipped back to the Warrior Class Seven lineup. It had been a while since she had enjoyed such a straightforward fight.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, let out a light gasp, and then shuddered violently. The surrounding students noticed something was off and immediately called for Instructor Enger.

Just as Instructor Enger squeezed through the crowd and arrived at the front, Lan Yu had already raised her delicate face and, unsure, said, "Instructor Enger, I... I think I just advanced to the second stage of Warrior Master!"

Upon hearing Lan Yu's words, everyone gaped in disbelief, and it was Instructor Enger who first burst into laughter.

The handsome middle-aged instructor said, "This Asura really is a lucky star. Yesterday, after sparring with him, Maggie advanced to the second stage of Warrior Master, and today, you spar with him and advance to the second stage as well!"

"Is this kid some kind of treasure? A good beating from him helps people level up? Haha, this is hilarious!"

Lan Yu couldn't help but laugh as well, but when she heard the name Maggie, she furrowed her brow slightly. So, he helped that woman level up yesterday?

Hmph~ Next time, I'll tell him he's only allowed to be my sparring partner! The girl thought to herself.

At this moment, Asura, exhausted, had already dragged himself back to Magic Academy Class 13.

With a thud, he collapsed onto the silver-haired girl's desk...
