Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Liu Yang woke up seven days later, the feeling was the same as before. This time, Liu Yang was excited because he managed to achieve the Elemental Fusion with the thunder element.

What scared Liu Yang was the fact that he heard Liu Xia's voice in his mind before holding on until the end. He knew the voice wasn't his hallucination, she spoke to him.

Looking to the side, Liu Yang saw that the Little One was wearing a strange bracelet, something she didn't have before. This showed that his theory was right, but how did Liu Xia appear?

(Did the Little One open the portal to the Ruler World?) Looking at the rat lying on the pillow, Liu Yang thought about that possibility. The bracelet that the Little One was very similar to the bracelet he was wearing, the difference was in the drawings.

"Master, you woke up." The little mouse woke up sometime later, she saw that Liu Yang was already awake and started jumping with joy on the pillow.

"I thank you for your help" Liu Yang took the Little One and placed it on his shoulders.

"Master, the mistress came, she and another middle-aged man helped you to heal your injuries" The Little One spoke mentally to Liu Yang.

"I realized that. Thank you very much for that, but don't use your skills in front of other people, or we'll be in big trouble. Understood?"

"Yes Master"

"Let's eat, it looks like we've been sleeping for more than seven days." Liu Yang looked at the phone and saw dozens of messages from Xiao Mei and Song Jia. He replied to the messages saying he was in the middle of a recluse training and was not using his cell phone.

"But before that. Explosive Needles !! " Liu Yang shouted and waved his hand. Five thin, small needles appeared in front of Liu Yang.

The appearance of the needles was normal, but it was made of magical energy from the wind element, while the interior was made with thunder energy.

Liu Yang waved his hand and the needles disappeared.

"Paralyzing Needles !!" Liu Yang shouted and waved his hand again, another five needles appeared, but this time, the appearance of the needles was more transparent and difficult to see, the color was still green because the power of the wind was needed to pierce enemies. This spell was to catch opponents with their guard down, as there was not much magical energy, just the effects of penetration and paralysis.

"Penetration Needles" Liu Yang erased the five needles and conjured up five more. This time, the needles were made only with the energy of the wind element.

"Electric Needles" Another five needles were created. These needles were created with the power of thunder and served to electrocute enemies.

"It seems that I managed to create my own magic, the magic of my own. I will call this Flying Needles" Liu Yang was happy with the results of his training. He changed the name after thinking a little.

"Let's eat" Liu Yang got up from the bed happily with the Little One on his shoulders.

The pair went to the kitchen, Liu Yang cooked many tasty things for the Little One to eat, that was her reward for hard work.

…

The next day…

Liu Yang finally went to his first day of school after missing more than a week.

When the former students saw Liu Yang, they were surprised to see him at school again. Some even thought he left because he didn't come in the first week of school.

After his results in last year's competition, Liu Yang was moved to class A, but as they could not do that in the middle of a school year. The director and advisers decided to do this the following year. Liu Yang and Liu Xia were in the same class.

When Liu Yang arrived, he was called by the right to talk about some things.

The principal's office was still the same as before. This time, in addition to the director, a middle-aged man was sitting on the couch. Liu Yang recognized the middle-aged man, he was Cao Wen, the teacher who tested Liu Yang during the entrance exam.

"Liu Yang, it's great to see you again. Last year, you showed us a lot of surprises "Cao Wen spoke casually. His appearance could be said to be ordinary, but he had a strange aura about him. It made him look more mystical and mysterious.

"Principal, teacher Cao Wen, it is very good to see you again." Liu Yang greeted the two casually.

"Boy, I thought you left school." The principal jokes.

"Principal, I still need to complete high school, but Liu Xia had to leave, she is no longer in the country, she returned to her country" Liu Yang spoke a little about why Liu Xia did not come.

"I see ... It seems that our school has lost a great student ..." The principal sighed about this matter. He did not know the secret information about Liu Yang, the director thought she had returned to her country and lived there.

"Director, have I been moved to class A?" Liu Yang heard some gossip when he was coming to school.

"Yes. Because of your performance last year. The school decided to move you to a better class. At first, student Liu Xia was asked to be the representative of class 2A, but as she did not come, that choice was given to someone else. "

"I see…"

"Student Liu Yang, I hope you won't let me down this year," Cao Wen said suddenly. He had high expectations for Liu Yang.

"Teacher Cao Wen, don't worry about that. Compared to last year, my performance this year will be much better "Liu Yang commented.

"I hope so"

"Student Liu Yang, you can go back to your class. Your class will start soon "

"Yes, director" Liu Yang said goodbye and left the room.

"Cao Wen, what did you think of him?" The director asked some time after Liu Yang left the room.

"He looks a lot like his father. Only he is more of a womanizer "Cao Wen commented on Liu Yang.

"Time goes by very fast. Before, I was just a teacher teaching you two, but now, I am a principal while you are teaching at the same school as Liu Ling's son. " The director spoke with emotion. Nothing was more powerful than the power of time.

"Yes. Time passed very quickly. " Cao Wen continued to drink his tea. He remembered some things from the past.

"You still have a little dispute with Liu Ling, will you complete this?"

"I don't know… If my son were to fight Liu Ling's son, my son will lose tragically. Despite having complete confidence in my son's skills, this fight would be one-sided "

"You could at least let your child try, he must be looking for a rival to compete. Like you and Liu Ling "

"It looks like Liu Ling is still in front of me, even after so many years ..."

"Cao Wen, you don't have to compare yourself to Liu Ling. The path you have chosen is different with different results. You chose to stay in the country and teach the younger generation, while Liu Ling preferred to travel the world with his wife and explore dangerous places. Each person is different and makes different choices "

"Professor, I know that. The dispute between me and Liu Ling is a thing of the past. We were young at that time "

"I am curious to know what kind of path Liu Ling's son will choose"

"I am also curious about this"

…

Tock… Tock…

"You can come in" An elderly voice echoed from inside the room.

The door was opened and Liu Yang entered.

"I apologize for being late"

When Liu Yang entered the room, the mood changed completely, the students started to look at him with different looks. Some of these students were in the same class as he was last year, while others were in class A or B. These students always looked at Liu Yang as if he were some trash, but after the competition, they discovered that they were the real trash.

Many students, who tried to intimidate or say bad things behind his back, did not dare to talk to Liu Yang because of the things that happened last year.

"Student Liu Yang, right?"

"Yes"

"My name is Wang Li, the teacher in this class. The director sent me a message some time ago, it's okay that you're late. Go to your seat and sit down "Wnag Li was an old man with white hair, his body was thin and he was wearing a suit.

"Yes teacher"

Liu Yang's chair was still the same as before, the last chair in the last row by the window.

Liu Yang sat down and turned on the computer, he was not paying attention to the teacher's class.

Several dozen sounds echoed when Liu Yang turned on the computer, he had received many messages. Luckily, the audio was turned off.

Looking at that amount of messages, Liu Yang saw that the majority were first-year students, that is, freshmen. Some messages belonged to some acquaintances of Liu Yang like Xiao Mei, Meng Xiuying and other students that Liu Yang met at school.

Opening the messages, Liu Yang saw that many freshmen were asking him for advice on magical energy control, while others wanted to get to know him better and other types of subjects. Most were fanatical girls who saw Liu Yang and Liu Xia fight in the competition.

Xiao Mei's messages were welcome and asking if Liu Yang was okay or not. Meng Xiuying was congratulating Liu Yang on his move, she was in second-grade class B.

Liu Yang answered all the messages before paying attention in class.

Like the sophomore, classes were about casting speed.

Second-year classes were basically about how to improve a spell casting speed, whether with magic equipment or otherwise.
