“Yeah, I really didn’t expect we’d meet again so soon,” Taler said, his eyes falling on the badge on Zhang Wen’s chest. Instantly, a flash of jealousy flickered in his heart. When he noticed Jina beside him also casting a similarly envious glance at Zhang Wen, his jealousy flared even more intensely.
“Hey, Zhang Wen! How come you’re alone this time? What happened to that sexy beauty who was with you last time? Why isn’t she here with you? Did you offend her and get dumped?” Taler provocatively wrapped his arm around Jina’s waist while laughing at Zhang Wen.
“A sexy beauty?” Hearing those words, Carrie couldn’t help but glare fiercely at Zhang Wen again. After the earlier incident with the “fortune-telling beauty,” Carrie naturally misunderstood the identity of the “sexy beauty” who had been with Zhang Wen.
However, Carrie also knew that this was a moment when she and Zhang Wen needed to stand united against a common enemy. They could deal with internal matters after handling the shared threat.
“Hmph! We came to Sandra Forest to compete. Teacher Zhang isn’t like you, with so much free time to chase after sexy beauties on the streets,” Carrie suppressed her inexplicable irritation and coldly retorted on Zhang Wen’s behalf.
“Oh? A sharp-tongued little girl! Haha, Zhang Wen! I never thought your taste would drop so low in just a few days!” Carrie’s fierce words startled Taler for a moment, but he quickly burst into laughter.
When it came to verbal sparring, Carrie was no match for Taler. Although Taler, as a teacher, couldn’t stoop to arguing with Carrie, he could target her weaknesses and drag Zhang Wen into the mockery.
“You…” Carrie was furious at being teased and ridiculed, biting her lip in frustration, unable to utter a word.
“Yes, I really didn’t expect to see you again so soon,” Talier said, his eyes catching the badge on Zhang Wen’s chest, and a flash of barely concealed envy flickered in his heart. When he noticed that Jinna beside him was also casting a jealous glance at Zhang Wen, the flames of envy in his heart burned even fiercer.
“Hey! Zhang Wen, why are you out alone? Where’s that sexy beauty who was with you last time? Why isn’t she accompanying you? Did you upset her again and get dumped?” Talier provocatively wrapped his arm around Jinna’s waist and said with a laugh.
“Sexy beauty?” Hearing these words, Carlet couldn’t help but glare fiercely at Zhang Wen. After the earlier incident with the “fortune-telling beauty,” Carlet naturally misunderstood the identity of the “sexy beauty” who had been with Zhang Wen.
However, Carlet also knew that now was the time for her and Zhang Wen to stand united against a common enemy. They could deal with their internal issues later.
“Hmph! We’re here in Sandra Forest for the competition. Teacher Zhang isn’t like you, with so much free time to wander the streets looking for some sexy beauty,” Carlet suppressed the inexplicable anger in her heart and coldly replied to Talier on Zhang Wen’s behalf.
“Oh? A sharp-tongued little girl! Haha, Zhang Wen! I didn’t expect your taste to drop so much in just a few days,” Carlet’s fierce words momentarily stunned Talier, but he quickly burst into laughter.
When it came to verbal sparring, Carlet was no match for Talier. Although Talier, as a teacher, couldn’t lower himself to argue with Carlet, he could seize her weaknesses and mock Zhang Wen in the process.
“You…” Carlet, repeatedly mocked and held at a disadvantage, gritted her teeth in frustration but couldn’t utter a word.
“Haha,” seeing that he had easily crushed Zhang Wen’s little beauty ally, Talier felt immensely satisfied and continued to laugh triumphantly. “But you were right about one thing earlier. Your Almythius Academy is indeed different from us. You really don’t have time to wander the streets. If you don’t hurry up and experience the survival competition, in a couple of days, you’ll be heading back to Almythius Academy, and you’ll miss your chance to experience Sandra Forest. Hahaha!”
Talier let out a string of unrestrained laughter, and Yuni and the boy who didn’t get along with Carlet laughed even more exaggeratedly.
“Bastards!” If earlier Talier and his group had mocked Carlet’s flat chest, making the adorable student council president grit her teeth, now their mockery of Almythius Academy was almost enough to make Carlet’s lungs explode with anger.
Moreover, Talier’s group didn’t give Carlet any chance for revenge. After their unrestrained laughter, they left with a look of disdain.
“Teacher Zhang!” Carlet glared angrily at Zhang Wen, who had remained silent throughout. After all, she had been mocked by the other side primarily because she was helping Zhang Wen. Yet Zhang Wen had let her charge ahead while he watched the spectacle.
“Haha, Carlet! Isn’t this just fine?” Zhang Wen gave Carlet a faint smile and said something that almost made her nose twist in anger.
“Fine? What’s fine? It’s not fine at all!” Carlet wanted to scream hysterically at Zhang Wen, but as the student council president, she had to consider the school’s reputation. In the end, all her anger condensed into a single, gritted word: “Huh?”
“Haha, still don’t get it? Don’t you think being looked down upon can sometimes be a good thing? Especially… when we’re about to compete with those who look down on us,” Zhang Wen’s smile poured cold water on Carlet’s anger.
“Hmm… I guess, I guess there’s some truth to that. But are we just going to let them insult us like that?” Carlet nodded reluctantly and muttered under her breath.
“How could we just let it go? But what’s the point of winning a verbal argument? If you want revenge, wait until the survival competition and hit them hard then,” Zhang Wen slightly curled the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Carlet immediately felt reassured. She knew that when Zhang Wen looked like this, those bastards who had been fixated on her chest size were definitely going to be in trouble!
Hehe! Carlet nodded in satisfaction, but her smile only flashed for a moment before she put on a stern face again: “By the way! What’s the deal with that sexy beauty they mentioned earlier? Teacher Zhang, you’re not really involved with that kind of woman, are you?”
Carlet was not an unreasonable girl. Since becoming the student council president, she had always been a model student at Almythius Academy! Before this, Carlet had never shown any disrespect toward any teacher. As for questioning her own team leader in a nearly argumentative tone during a competition, it was something no one would believe if it were told!
But as she said the words “sexy beauty,” Carlet couldn’t help but picture Zhang Wen arm in arm with a bewitching woman, his face陶醉 as his arm sank deeply into the woman’s ample bosom. Then, for some reason, an inexplicable rage surged in the heart of the adorable student council president, one she couldn’t suppress no matter what.
“What are you thinking? What he saw was Teacher Linora,” Zhang Wen glanced at Carlet and replied curiously.
“Ah? Li… Linora teacher?” Carlet stammered as she repeated the name Zhang Wen had mentioned, only then remembering that the so-called sexy beauty wasn’t just limited to the streetwalkers in the town. In her own team, there was a woman who was even more deserving of the title “sexy” than those town streetwalkers.
“Is there a problem?” Zhang Wen’s puzzled look made Carlet feel even more embarrassed.
“No… no,” the little beauty awkwardly fiddled with the hem of her clothes.
“Then let’s go back,” after the commotion with Carlet and Talier, Zhang Wen had lost interest in continuing to wander. He quickly led Carlet back to their hotel room.
Half a day later, the Almythius Academy team, having completed their pre-competition preparations, split into three groups and left the hotel according to their prearranged plans.
Since the survival competition itself was a confrontation between all the teams, to prevent the teams from clashing into chaos as soon as they entered the forest, each year the teams from different academies entered the forest from different locations. Before setting off, all the participating students from the academies needed to gather at a fixed location. There, they would draw lots and then disperse to the locations written on the lots before entering the forest.
This year, a total of thirteen academies were participating in the survival competition. Their gathering point was a small square located southeast of Weiyin Town.
“Sigh! I wonder if we’ll get a good draw this year! If we end up with one of those central towns like last year, we’re doomed!”
“Exactly! Our strength seems even weaker than last year. If we get such an unlucky position again, the teams that enter first will definitely gang up on us!”
“Who’s going to draw the lots this year?”
“Who else? It’s got to be Teacher Linora. She’s the only three-star instructor on our side,” after sitting in a corner of the small square, several of the spellcasting department’s team leaders huddled together and whispered among themselves.
As Zhang Wen listened to the discussions around him, he also surveyed the crowd. Just as Carlet had said, it seemed that all the academies participating in the survival competition had set their sights on Almythius Academy. With a single glance, Zhang Wen saw almost nothing but hostile gazes.
Taler burst into a series of unrestrained laughter, while Juna, who had a rivalry with Carrie, and the male student laughed even more exaggeratedly than Taler.
“Yes, I really didn’t expect to see you again so soon,” Talier said, noticing the badge on Zhang Wen’s chest, a flash of unconcealable envy crossing his heart. When he realized that Jinna beside him was also casting a jealous glance at Zhang Wen, the flames of envy in his heart burned even fiercer.
“Hey! Zhang Wen, why are you out alone? Where’s that sexy beauty who was with you last time? Why isn’t she accompanying you? Did you upset her again and get dumped?” Talier provocatively wrapped his arm around Jinna’s waist and laughed as he spoke to Zhang Wen.
“Sexy beauty?” Hearing these words, Carlet couldn’t help but glare at Zhang Wen again. After the lesson from the “fortune-telling beauty” earlier, Carlet naturally misunderstood the identity of the “sexy beauty” who had been with Zhang Wen.
However, Carlet also knew that now was the time for her and Zhang Wen to unite against a common enemy. They could deal with their internal issues later.
“Hmph! We came to Sandra Forest to compete. Teacher Zhang isn’t like you, with so much free time to wander the streets looking for sexy beauties,” Carlet suppressed the inexplicable anger in her heart and coldly replied to Talier on behalf of Zhang Wen.
“Oh? A sharp-tongued little girl! Haha, Zhang Wen! I didn’t expect your taste to drop so much in just a few days,” Carlet’s fierce words stunned Talier, but he quickly burst into laughter.
When it came to verbal sparring, Carlet was no match for Talier. Although Talier, being a teacher, couldn’t lower himself to argue with Carlet, he could seize her weakness and mock Zhang Wen along the way.
“You…” Carlet, repeatedly mocked and held at a disadvantage, was furious but couldn’t utter a word.
“Haha,” seeing that he had easily defeated Zhang Wen’s little beauty ally, Talier felt immensely pleased and continued to laugh triumphantly, “But you were right about one thing earlier. Your Almisus Academy is indeed different from us; you really don’t have the leisure to wander the streets. If you don’t hurry up and experience the survival competition, in a couple of days, you’ll be heading back to Almisus Academy, and you won’t have another chance to feel what Sandra Forest is like. Hahaha!”
Talier let out a series of unrestrained laughter, and Yuni and the boy, who didn’t get along with Carlet, laughed even more exaggeratedly.
“Bastards!” If Talier and his group mocking Carlet’s flat chest had made the adorable student council president grit her teeth in anger, their ridicule of Almisus Academy now was almost enough to make Carlet’s lungs explode with rage.
Moreover, Talier and his group didn’t give Carlet any chance for revenge. After their unrestrained laughter, they left with disdain.
“Teacher Zhang!” Carlet glared angrily at Zhang Wen, who had remained silent all this time. After all, she had been mocked by the other side mainly because she was helping Zhang Wen. Yet, Zhang Wen let her charge ahead while he watched the spectacle.
“Haha, Carlet! Isn’t this quite good?” Zhang Wen smiled faintly at Carlet, saying something that almost made her nose twist in anger.
“Quite good? What’s quite good? It’s not good at all!” Carlet wanted to scream hysterically at Zhang Wen, but as the student council president, she had to consider the school’s reputation. In the end, the myriad of anger in Carlet’s heart condensed into a single, gritted word: “Huh?”
“Haha, haven’t figured it out yet? Don’t you think being looked down upon can sometimes be a good thing? Especially… when we’re about to compete with those who look down on us,” Zhang Wen’s smile poured cold water on Carlet’s anger.
“Hmm… it seems, it seems there’s some truth to that. But we were insulted by them, and we’re just going to let it go?” Carlet nodded reluctantly and muttered softly.
“How could we just let it go? But what does winning a verbal argument mean? If you want revenge, wait until the survival competition and give them a hard lesson,” Zhang Wen slightly curled his lips.
Seeing this, Carlet immediately felt reassured. She knew that when Zhang Wen showed this expression, those bastards who had been fixated on her chest size were surely going to be in trouble!
Hmph! Carlet nodded her little head in satisfaction, but her smile only flashed for a moment before she put on a stern face again: “By the way! What’s the deal with that sexy beauty they mentioned earlier? Teacher Zhang, you’re not really involved with that kind of woman, are you?”
Carlet was not an unreasonable girl. Since becoming the student council president, she had always been a model among the students of Almisus Academy! Before this, Carlet had never shown any disrespect to any teacher. As for using a near-argumentative tone to interrogate her direct team leader during a competition, it was something no one would believe!
But when she said the words “sexy beauty,” Carlet couldn’t help but picture Zhang Wen arm in arm with a bewitching woman, his face filled with ecstasy as his arm sank deeply into the woman’s ample bosom. Then, for some reason, an inexplicable rage surged in the heart of the adorable student council president, a rage she couldn’t suppress no matter what.
“What are you thinking? He saw Teacher Linoya,” Zhang Wen glanced at Carlet and answered strangely.
“Ah? Li… Linoya teacher?” Carlet stammered as she repeated the name Zhang Wen had mentioned, only then remembering that the so-called sexy beauty wasn’t just the streetwalkers in the town. In her own team, there was a woman who deserved the term “sexy” even more than those townswomen.
“Is there a problem?” Zhang Wen’s puzzled look made Carlet feel even more embarrassed.
“No… no,” the little beauty awkwardly fidgeted with the hem of her clothes.
“Then let’s go back,” with the commotion between Carlet and Talier, Zhang Wen lost interest in continuing to wander. He quickly took Carlet back to their hotel room.
Half a day later, the Almisus Academy team, having completed their pre-competition preparations, left the hotel in three groups as previously arranged.
Since the survival competition itself was a confrontation between all teams, to prevent these teams from clashing into chaos as soon as they entered the forest, each year’s survival competition saw the teams from various academies entering the forest from different locations. Before departure, all participating students from the academies needed to gather at a fixed location. Then, they would draw lots and disperse according to the locations written on the lots they drew, before entering the forest separately.
This year, a total of thirteen academies were participating in the survival competition. Their assembly point was a small square located to the southeast of Weiyin Town.
“Sigh! I wonder if we’ll draw a good lot this year! If we end up with one of those central towns like last year, we’re doomed!”
“Exactly! Our strength seems even weaker than last year. If we get such an unlucky position again, those who entered earlier will surely gang up on us!”
“Who’s going to draw the lots this year?”
“Who else? It has to be Teacher Linoya. She’s the only three-star instructor on our side,” after choosing a corner in the small square to sit, several instructors from the spellcasting department gathered together and whispered among themselves.
As Zhang Wen listened to the discussions around him, he also observed the crowd. Just as Carlet had said, it seemed that all the academies participating in the survival competition had set their sights on Almisus Academy. With a single glance, Zhang Wen saw almost nothing but malicious stares.
Moreover, Taler’s group didn’t even give Carrie a chance to retaliate. After a round of wild laughter, they contemptuously turned and left.
“Teacher Zhang!” Carrie angrily glared at Zhang Wen, who had remained silent throughout. After all, she had been mocked by the opposing group all this time, mostly because she was helping Zhang Wen. Yet Zhang had just stood there watching the show while she fought on the front lines alone.
“Hehe, Carrie! Isn’t this situation actually quite good?” Zhang Wen smiled faintly at Carrie, saying something that nearly made her nose twist in anger.
“Good? What’s good about it? Nothing is good!” Carrie desperately wanted to scream hysterically at Zhang Wen. But after all, she was the student council president who had to uphold the school’s image. In the end, all of Carrie’s fury condensed into a single, gritted-teeth “Hmm?”
“Haha, haven’t figured it out yet? Don’t you think being looked down upon by others can sometimes be a good thing? Especially… when we’re about to compete against those very people who look down on us,” Zhang Wen’s smile poured cold water on Carrie’s anger.
“Um… it kind of makes sense, I guess. But we were insulted by them—just let it go like that?” Carrie nodded reluctantly, grumbling softly.
“How could I let it go like that? But what’s the point of winning a verbal argument? If you want revenge, wait until the survival competition and hit them with something really hard,” Zhang Wen’s lips curled slightly upward.
Seeing this, Carrie immediately felt reassured. She knew that when Zhang Wen wore this expression, those bastards who had been staring at her chest earlier were definitely going to suffer!
Hmph! Carrie happily nodded slightly, but her smile vanished in an instant as she resumed her stern expression. “Oh, right! Who exactly was that ‘sexy beauty’ they mentioned earlier? Teacher Zhang, you’re not actually involved with some woman like that, are you?”
“Yes, I really didn’t expect to see you again so soon,” Talier said, noticing the badge on Zhang Wen’s chest, a flash of undisguised envy crossing his mind. When he realized that Jinna beside him was also casting a jealous glance at Zhang Wen, the flames of envy in his heart burned even fiercer.
“Hey! Zhang Wen, why are you out alone? Where’s that sexy beauty who was with you last time? Why isn’t she accompanying you? Did you upset her and get dumped?” Talier provocatively wrapped his arm around Jinna’s waist and laughed as he spoke to Zhang Wen.
“Sexy beauty?” Hearing these words, Calit couldn’t help but glare fiercely at Zhang Wen. After the lesson from the “fortune-telling beauty” earlier, Calit naturally misunderstood the identity of the “sexy beauty” who had been with Zhang Wen.
However, Calit also knew that now was the time for her and Zhang Wen to unite against a common enemy. They could deal with their internal issues later.
“Hmph! We came to Sandra Forest to compete. Teacher Zhang isn’t like you, with so much free time to wander the streets looking for sexy beauties,” Calit suppressed the inexplicable anger in her heart and coldly replied to Talier on behalf of Zhang Wen.
“Oh? A sharp-tongued little girl! Haha, Zhang Wen! I didn’t expect your taste to drop so much in just a few days,” Talier was momentarily stunned by Calit’s fierce words but quickly burst into laughter.
When it came to verbal sparring, Calit was no match for Talier. Although Talier, as a teacher, couldn’t lower himself to argue with Calit, he could easily exploit her weaknesses and mock Zhang Wen in the process.
“You…” Calit, repeatedly mocked and having her weak points exposed, was furious but couldn’t utter a word.
“Haha,” Talier, delighted at having easily defeated Zhang Wen’s little beauty ally, continued to laugh triumphantly, “But you were right about one thing earlier. Your Almisus Academy is indeed different from us. You really don’t have the leisure to wander the streets. If you don’t hurry up and experience the survival competition, in a couple of days, you’ll be heading back to Almisus Academy, and you won’t have another chance to feel what Sandra Forest is like. Hahaha!”
Talier let out a string of unrestrained laughter, and Yuni and the boy, who didn’t get along with Calit, laughed even more exaggeratedly.
“Bastards!” If Talier and his group mocking Calit’s flat chest had made the adorable student council president grit her teeth in anger, their ridicule of Almisus Academy now was almost enough to make Calit’s lungs explode with rage.
Moreover, Talier’s group didn’t give Calit any chance for revenge. After their unrestrained laughter, they left with a look of disdain.

“Haha, Calit! Isn’t this just fine?” Zhang Wen smiled faintly at Calit, saying something that almost made her nose twist in anger.
“Fine? What’s fine? It’s not fine at all!” Calit wanted to scream hysterically at Zhang Wen, but as the student council president, she had to consider the school’s reputation. In the end, all her rage condensed into a single, gritted word: “Huh?”
“Haha, still don’t get it? Don’t you think being looked down upon can sometimes be a good thing? Especially… when we’re about to compete with those who look down on us,” Zhang Wen’s smile poured cold water on Calit’s anger.
“Hmm… I guess, I guess there’s some truth to that. But we were insulted by them, and we’re just going to let it slide?” Calit nodded reluctantly and muttered softly.
“How could we just let it slide? But what does winning a verbal argument mean? If you want revenge, wait until the survival competition and give them a real blow,” Zhang Wen slightly curled his lips.
Seeing this, Calit immediately felt reassured. She knew that when Zhang Wen showed this expression, those bastards who had been fixated on her chest size were surely going to be in trouble!
Hmph! Calit nodded her little head in satisfaction, but her smile only flashed briefly before she put on a stern face again: “By the way! What was that about the sexy beauty they mentioned earlier? Teacher Zhang, you’re not really involved with that kind of woman, are you?”

“No… nothing,” the little beauty awkwardly fidgeted with the hem of her clothes.
“Then let’s go back,” with the drama between Calit and Talier, Zhang Wen had lost interest in continuing their stroll. He quickly led Calit back to their hotel room.
Half a day later, the Almisus Academy team, having completed their pre-competition preparations, split into three groups and left the hotel according to their prearranged divisions.
Since the survival competition itself was a confrontation between all teams, to prevent these teams from clashing into chaos as soon as they entered the forest, each year the teams from different academies entered the forest from different locations. Before setting off, all participating students from the academies needed to gather at a fixed location. There, they would draw lots and then disperse to the locations written on their drawn lots before entering the forest.
This year, a total of thirteen academies were participating in the survival competition. Their gathering point was a small square located to the southeast of Weiyin Town.
“Sigh! I wonder if we’ll draw a good lot this year! If we end up with one of those central towns like last year, we’re doomed!”
“Exactly! Our strength seems even weaker than last year. If we get such an unlucky position again, the teams that enter first will definitely gang up on us!”
“Who’s going to draw the lot this year?”

Yet, as she uttered the words “sexy beauty,” Carrie couldn’t help but visualize Zhang Wen arm-in-arm with a seductive woman, his face filled with delight as his arm sank deeply into the woman’s ample bosom. Then, the cute student council president inexplicably felt a surge of uncontrollable rage rising from deep within her heart.
“What are you thinking about? The one he saw was Teacher Linoah,” Zhang Wen looked at Carrie strangely and answered oddly.
“Ah? Li… Linoah Teacher?” Carrie stammered as she repeated the name Zhang Wen had spoken, suddenly recalling that the so-called “sexy beauty” wasn’t just some streetwalkers from the town. In her own team, there was someone who more deserved the title of “sexy beauty” than those town beauties.
“Any problem with that?” Zhang Wen’s puzzled gaze made Carrie feel even more embarrassed.
“N-no… none at all,” the pretty girl uncomfortably fidgeted with her clothes.
“Yes, I really didn’t expect to see you again so soon,” Talier said, noticing the badge on Zhang Wen’s chest, and a flash of unconcealable jealousy immediately crossed his heart. When he realized that Jinna beside him was also casting a jealous glance at Zhang Wen, the flames of envy in his heart burned even more fiercely.
“Hey! Zhang Wen, why are you out alone? Where’s that sexy beauty who was with you last time? Why isn’t she accompanying you? Did you upset her again and get dumped?” Talier provocatively wrapped his arm around Jinna’s waist and laughed as he spoke to Zhang Wen.
“Sexy beauty?” Hearing these words, Juliet couldn’t help but glare fiercely at Zhang Wen. After the earlier incident with the “fortune-telling beauty,” Juliet naturally misunderstood the identity of the “sexy beauty” who had been with Zhang Wen.
However, Juliet also knew that now was the time for her and Zhang Wen to unite against a common enemy. They could deal with their internal issues later.
“Hmph! We came to the Sandra Forest to compete. Teacher Zhang isn’t like you, with so much free time to wander the streets looking for sexy beauties,” Juliet suppressed her inexplicable anger and coldly replied to Talier on Zhang Wen’s behalf.
“Oh? Sharp-tongued little girl! Haha, Zhang Wen! I didn’t expect your taste to drop so much in just a few days,” Talier was momentarily stunned by Juliet’s fierce words but quickly burst into laughter.

If you don’t hurry up and experience the survival competition, in a couple of days, you’ll be heading back to Almythius Academy, and you won’t have another chance to experience what the Sandra Forest feels like. Hahaha!”
Talier let out a series of unrestrained laughter, and Yuni and the boy, who didn’t get along with Juliet, laughed even more exaggeratedly.
“Bastards!” If earlier Talier and his group mocking Juliet’s flat chest had made the adorable student council president grit her teeth, their current mockery of Almythius Academy was almost enough to make Juliet’s lungs explode with anger.
Moreover, Talier’s group didn’t give Juliet any chance for revenge. After their unrestrained laughter, they left with disdain.
“Teacher Zhang!” Juliet glared angrily at Zhang Wen, who had remained silent throughout. After all, she had been mocked by the other side mainly because she was helping Zhang Wen. Yet, Zhang Wen had let her charge ahead alone while he watched the spectacle.
“Haha, Juliet! Isn’t this good?” Zhang Wen smiled faintly at Juliet, saying something that almost made her nose twist in anger.
“Good? What’s good? It’s not good at all!” Juliet wanted to scream hysterically at Zhang Wen, but as the student council president, she had to consider the school’s reputation. In the end, all her anger condensed into a single, gritted word: “Huh?”
“Haha, haven’t figured it out yet? Don’t you think being looked down upon can sometimes be a good thing? Especially… when we’re about to compete with those who look down on us,” Zhang Wen’s smile poured cold water on Juliet’s anger.

Half a day later, the Almythius Academy team, having completed their pre-competition preparations, split into three groups and left the hotel according to their prearranged divisions.
Since the survival competition itself was a contest between all teams, to prevent these teams from immediately clashing upon entering the forest, each year’s survival competition had the teams from different academies enter the forest from different locations. Before setting off, all participating students from the academies needed to gather at a fixed location. There, they would draw lots and then disperse to the locations written on the lots they drew before entering the forest.
This year, a total of thirteen academies were participating in the survival competition. Their gathering point was a small square located to the southeast of Microsilver Town.
“Sigh! I wonder if we’ll draw a good lot this year! If we end up with one of those central towns like last year, we’re doomed!”
“Exactly! Our strength seems even weaker than last year. If we get such an unlucky position again, those who enter first will definitely team up to give us trouble!”
“Who’s going to draw the lots this year?”
“Who else? It has to be Teacher Linora. She’s the only three-star instructor on our side,” after choosing a corner in the small square to sit, several instructors from the spellcasting department huddled together and whispered among themselves.

When he noticed that Jinna beside him was also casting a jealous glance at Zhang Wen, the flames of envy in his heart burned even fiercer.
“Hey! Zhang Wen, why are you out alone? Where’s that sexy beauty who was with you last time? Why isn’t she accompanying you? Did you upset her again and get dumped?” Taler provocatively wrapped his arm around Jinna’s waist and laughed as he spoke to Zhang Wen.
“Sexy beauty?” Hearing these words, Carlet couldn’t help but glare at Zhang Wen again. After the lesson from the “fortune-telling beauty” earlier, Carlet naturally misunderstood the identity of the “sexy beauty” who had been with Zhang Wen.
However, Carlet also knew that now was the time for her and Zhang Wen to unite against a common enemy. They could deal with their internal issues later.
“Hmph! We came to Sandra Forest to compete. Teacher Zhang isn’t like you, with so much free time to wander the streets looking for some sexy beauty,” Carlet suppressed the inexplicable anger in her heart and coldly replied to Taler on behalf of Zhang Wen.
“Oh? A sharp-tongued little girl! Haha, Zhang Wen! I didn’t expect your taste to drop so much in just a few days,” Carlet’s fierce words momentarily stunned Taler, but he quickly burst into laughter.
When it came to verbal sparring, Carlet was no match for Taler. Although Taler, being a teacher, couldn’t lower himself to argue with Carlet, he could seize her weaknesses and mock Zhang Wen along the way.
“You…” Carlet, repeatedly mocked and having her weak points exposed, was furious but couldn’t utter a word.
“Haha,” seeing that he had easily defeated Zhang Wen’s little beauty ally, Taler felt immensely pleased and continued to laugh triumphantly, “However, you were right about one thing earlier. Your Almisus Academy is indeed different from us. You really don’t have the leisure to wander the streets. If you don’t hurry up and experience the survival competition, in a couple of days, you’ll be heading back to Almisus Academy, and you won’t have another chance to experience what Sandra Forest feels like. Hahaha!”
Taler let out a series of unrestrained laughter, and Yuni and the boy, who didn’t get along with Carlet, laughed even more exaggeratedly.
“Bastards!” If Taler and his group mocking Carlet’s flat chest had made the adorable student council president grit her teeth in anger, then their mockery of Almisus Academy now was almost enough to make Carlet’s lungs explode with rage.
Moreover, Taler’s group didn’t give Carlet any chance for revenge. After a bout of unrestrained laughter, they left with disdain.
“Teacher Zhang!” Carlet glared angrily at Zhang Wen, who had remained silent throughout. After all, she had been mocked by the other side mainly because she was helping Zhang Wen. Yet, Zhang Wen had let her charge ahead alone while he watched the spectacle.
“Haha, Carlet! Isn’t this just fine?” Zhang Wen smiled faintly at Carlet, saying something that almost made her nose twist in anger.
“Fine? What’s fine? It’s not fine at all!” Carlet wanted to scream hysterically at Zhang Wen. But as the student council president, she had to consider the school’s dignity. In the end, the myriad of anger in Carlet’s heart condensed into a single, gritted word: “Huh?”
“Haha, still not getting it? Don’t you think being looked down upon can sometimes be a good thing? Especially… when we’re about to compete with those who look down on us,” Zhang Wen’s smile poured cold water on Carlet’s anger.
“Hmm… it seems, it seems there’s some truth to that. But are we just going to let them insult us like that?” Carlet nodded reluctantly and muttered softly.
“How could we just let it go? But what does winning a verbal spat mean? If you want revenge, wait until the survival competition and give them a good lesson then,” Zhang Wen slightly curled his lips.
Seeing this, Carlet immediately felt reassured. She knew that when Zhang Wen showed this expression, those bastards who had been fixated on her chest size were surely going to be in trouble!
Hmph! Carlet nodded her little head in satisfaction, but her smile only flashed for a moment before she put on a stern face again: “By the way! What was that about the sexy beauty they mentioned earlier? Teacher Zhang, you’re not really involved with that kind of woman, are you?”
Carlet was by no means an unreasonable girl. Since becoming the student council president, she had always been a model among the students of Almisus Academy! Before this, Carlet had never shown any disrespect towards any teacher. As for using a nearly argumentative tone to interrogate her direct supervising teacher during a competition, it was something no one would believe!
Yet, when she uttered the words “sexy beauty,” Carlet couldn’t help but picture Zhang Wen arm in arm with a bewitching woman, his face filled with ecstasy as his arm sank deeply into the woman’s ample bosom. Then, for some reason, the adorable student council president felt an inexplicable rage rising within her that she couldn’t suppress.
“What are you thinking? He saw Teacher Linoya,” Zhang Wen glanced at Carlet and replied strangely.
“Ah? Li… Linoya teacher?” Carlet stammered as she repeated the name Zhang Wen had mentioned, only then remembering that the so-called sexy beauty wasn’t just limited to the streetwalkers in the town. In her own team, there was a woman who deserved the title “sexy” even more than those town streetwalkers.
“Is there a problem?” Zhang Wen’s puzzled look made Carlet feel even more embarrassed.
“No… nothing,” the little beauty awkwardly fiddled with the hem of her clothes.
“Then let’s go back,” after the farce with Carlet and Taler, Zhang Wen had lost interest in continuing to wander. He quickly led Carlet back to their hotel room.
Half a day later, the Almisus Academy team, having completed their pre-competition preparations, left the hotel in three groups as previously arranged.
Since the survival competition itself was a confrontation between all teams, to prevent these teams from clashing into chaos as soon as they entered the forest, each year’s survival competition saw the teams from various academies entering the forest from different locations. Before departure, all participating students from the academies needed to gather at a fixed location. There, they would draw lots, and then disperse to the locations written on the lots they drew, before entering the forest separately.
This year, a total of thirteen academies were participating in the survival competition. Their assembly point was a small square located to the southeast of Weiyin Town.
“Sigh! I wonder if we’ll draw a good lot this year! If we end up with the central towns like last year, we’re doomed!”
“Exactly! Our strength seems even weaker than last year. If we get such an unlucky position again, those who entered earlier are bound to gang up on us!”
“Who’s going to draw the lots this year?”
“Who else? It’s got to be Teacher Linoya. She’s the only three-star instructor we have,” after choosing a corner in the small square to sit, several leading teachers from the incantation department gathered together and whispered among themselves.
As Zhang Wen listened to the discussions around him, he also surveyed the crowd. Just as Carlet had said, it seemed that all the academies participating in the survival competition had set their sights on Almisus Academy. With a single glance, Zhang Wen saw almost nothing but hostile gazes.
Since the survival competition itself was a contest among all teams, to prevent chaotic fighting when entering the forest, each academy’s teams never entered from the same location. Before departure, all participating teams from various academies needed to gather at a fixed location, draw lots, and then disperse according to the locations indicated on their drawn slips before entering the forest separately.
This time, thirteen academies participated in the survival competition. Their gathering point was a small square in the southeast of Weiyin Town.
“Sigh! I wonder if we can draw a good lot this year! If we end up in one of the central towns again like last year, we’ll all be doomed!”
“Exactly! This year our strength seems even weaker than last year. If we end up in such a bad position again, those who enter first will definitely gang up on us!”
“Who’s going to draw the lot this year?”
“Who else? Definitely Teacher Linoah! After all, she’s the only three-star instructor among us!” After selecting a corner in the small square to sit down, several instructors from the spell-casting department gathered together, whispering among themselves.
“Yes, I really didn’t expect to see you again so soon,” Talier said, noticing the badge on Zhang Wen’s chest, a flash of barely concealed envy crossing his mind. When he realized that Jinna beside him was also casting a jealous glance at Zhang Wen, his envy flared even more intensely.
“Hey! Zhang Wen, why are you out alone? Where’s that sexy beauty who was with you last time? Did you upset her and get dumped?” Talier provocatively wrapped his arm around Jinna’s waist and laughed as he spoke to Zhang Wen.
“Sexy beauty?” Hearing these words, Carlet couldn’t help but glare at Zhang Wen again. After the earlier incident with the “fortune-telling beauty,” Carlet naturally misunderstood the identity of the “sexy beauty” who had been with Zhang Wen.
However, Carlet also knew that now was the time for her and Zhang Wen to stand united against a common enemy. They could deal with their internal issues later.
“Hmph! We came to the Sandra Forest to compete. Teacher Zhang isn’t like you, with so much free time to wander the streets looking for sexy beauties,” Carlet suppressed her inexplicable anger and coldly replied to Talier on Zhang Wen’s behalf.
“Oh? Sharp-tongued little girl! Haha, Zhang Wen! I didn’t expect your taste to drop so much in just a few days,” Talier was momentarily stunned by Carlet’s fierce words but quickly burst into laughter.
When it came to verbal sparring, Carlet was no match for Talier. Although Talier, as a teacher, couldn’t lower himself to argue with Carlet, he could still seize her weaknesses and mock Zhang Wen in the process.
“You…” Carlet, repeatedly mocked and held at a disadvantage, gritted her teeth in frustration but couldn’t muster a retort.
“Haha,” Talier, delighted at having easily defeated Zhang Wen’s little helper, continued to laugh triumphantly. “But you were right about one thing. Your Almisus Academy is indeed different from us. You really don’t have time to wander the streets. If you don’t hurry up and experience the survival competition, in a couple of days, you’ll be heading back to Almisus Academy, and you won’t get another chance to feel what the Sandra Forest is like. Hahaha!”
Talier let out a series of unrestrained laughs, and Yuni and the boy, who didn’t get along with Carlet, laughed even more exaggeratedly.
“Bastards!” If Talier and his group mocking Carlet’s flat chest had made the adorable student council president grit her teeth, their ridicule of Almisus Academy now was almost enough to make Carlet’s lungs burst with anger.
Moreover, Talier’s group didn’t give Carlet any chance for revenge. After their unrestrained laughter, they left with disdain.
“Teacher Zhang!” Carlet glared angrily at Zhang Wen, who had remained silent throughout. After all, she had been mocked by the other side mainly because she was helping Zhang Wen. Yet, Zhang Wen had let her charge ahead while he watched the spectacle.
“Haha, Carlet! Isn’t this just fine?” Zhang Wen smiled faintly at Carlet, saying something that almost made her nose twist in anger.
“Fine? What’s fine? It’s not fine at all!” Carlet wanted to scream hysterically at Zhang Wen, but as the student council president, she had to maintain the school’s dignity. In the end, her thousand fires of anger condensed into a single, gritted word: “Huh?”
“Haha, still don’t get it? Don’t you think being looked down upon can sometimes be a good thing? Especially… when we’re about to compete with those who look down on us,” Zhang Wen’s smile poured cold water on Carlet’s anger.
“Hmm… I guess, I guess there’s some truth to that. But are we just going to let them insult us like that?” Carlet nodded reluctantly and muttered softly.
“How could we just let it go? But what does winning a verbal argument mean? If you want revenge, wait until the survival competition and give them a real blow,” Zhang Wen slightly curled his lips.
Seeing this, Carlet immediately felt reassured. She knew that when Zhang Wen looked like this, those bastards who had been fixated on her chest size were surely going to be in trouble!
Hmph! Carlet nodded her little head in satisfaction, but her smile only flashed briefly before she put on a stern face again: “By the way! What was that about the sexy beauty? Teacher Zhang, you’re not really involved with that kind of woman, are you?”
Carlet was not an unreasonable girl. Since becoming the student council president, she had always been a model student at Almisus Academy! Before this, Carlet had never shown any disrespect to any teacher. As for using a near-argumentative tone to interrogate her direct team leader during a competition, that was something no one would believe!
But as she said the words “sexy beauty,” Carlet couldn’t help but picture Zhang Wen arm in arm with a bewitching woman, his face filled with ecstasy as his arm sank into the woman’s ample bosom. Then, for some reason, the adorable student council president felt an uncontrollable surge of inexplicable anger.
“What are you thinking? He saw Teacher Linoya,” Zhang Wen glanced at Carlet and replied strangely.
“Ah? Li… Linoya teacher?” Carlet stammered as she repeated the name Zhang Wen had mentioned, only then remembering that the so-called sexy beauty wasn’t just limited to the streetwalkers in town. In her own team, there was a woman who deserved the title of “sexy beauty” even more than those town girls.
“Is there a problem?” Zhang Wen’s puzzled look made Carlet feel even more embarrassed.
“No… nothing,” the little beauty awkwardly fidgeted with the hem of her clothes.
“Then let’s go back,” Zhang Wen, having lost interest in wandering after the commotion with Carlet and Talier, quickly led Carlet back to their hotel room.
Half a day later, the Almisus Academy team, having completed their pre-competition preparations, split into three groups and left the hotel according to their prearranged plans.

“Exactly! Our strength seems even weaker than last year. If we get such an unlucky position, the teams that enter first will definitely gang up on us!”
“Who’s drawing the lots this year?”
“Who else? It has to be Teacher Linoya. She’s the only three-star instructor we have,” after choosing a corner in the small square to sit, several leading teachers from the spellcasting department gathered together and whispered among themselves.
As Zhang Wen listened to the discussions around him, he also observed the crowd. Just as Carlet had said, it seemed that all the academies participating in the survival competition had set their sights on Almisus Academy. At a glance, Zhang Wen saw almost nothing but hostile gazes.
