32: Chapter 32 He actually broke through?

The principal's eyes narrowed slightly as he recalled everything that had just happened.

He had seen everything clearly from start to finish.

Fortunately, Lin Fan had rushed back in time; otherwise, he would have had to intervene personally.

He groaned inwardly.

If Lin Duo had been bullied outside the school as well...

And that masked Tier 4 Mage came to hold him accountable, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences!

Was he supposed to watch over this little girl twenty-four hours a day?

"No, now is not the time to think about that."

The principal shook his head, forcing himself to calm down.

"Lin Duo's brother... I've seen that boy before. When did he promote to a First-Order Mage?"

"And looking at his methods just now, his strength is actually greater than Su Linlin, who has been stuck at the First-Order Mage realm for over a year..."

"Su Linlin's father certainly won't let this go. He'll definitely look for trouble with Lin Duo's brother, and might even involve their parents."

"Should I protect only Lin Duo, or their entire family?"

The principal muttered to himself with a worried face, caught in a dilemma.

He even considered the idea of running away.

That way...

The masked Tier 4 Mage who visited his office a few days ago wouldn't be able to find him.

But... could he really escape the pursuit of a Tier 4 Mage?

The principal rubbed his face irritably.

His mind was a tangled mess; he had no idea what to do.

Couldn't these kids just behave themselves?

He clearly hadn't done anything wrong, so how did he end up in such a tricky situation?

"Old man, why are you spacing out?"

A voice suddenly sounded beside the principal, giving him a start.

He turned his head and saw it was exactly the person he was waiting for.

"It's nothing, let's go."

The principal composed himself and asked casually, "By the way, why did you choose to meet here of all places?"

"Haha, just a random choice."

The person smiled and started walking downstairs. "But meeting here should be safer for the people around us."

The principal stared at his back for a few seconds.

He followed silently.

...

The next morning.

A new week began.

Lin Fan naturally had to go to the academy for classes.

Even though he would rather go out of the city to train.

"Mom, we're leaving!"

Lin Fan and Lin Duo shouted in unison.

With that, they walked out the door, heading toward their respective school and academy.

Last night.

Lin Duo couldn't help herself and told their mother everything that happened at the theme park.

Even though Lin Fan had specifically told her not to say anything.

But she was too excited and simply couldn't hold it in.

When their mother heard that her son had fought a fellow mage and even used magic, she was nearly scared to death.

Fighting with magic—how dangerous!

She was originally worried that her son, who had just learned to use spells, would suffer a loss.

But after hearing Lin Duo's account...

That Lin Fan had settled everyone with just one spell, she was instantly speechless with shock.

After dinner, Lin Fan was called to the living room by his parents for a "heart-to-heart."

He knew exactly what they were going to say the moment he heard it. He was incredibly reluctant, but he still went obediently.

And then.

He was lectured by his parents in turns for nearly two hours.

"I know you're excited because you just learned magic, but you can't just go around fighting people."

"What if you hurt yourself, or hurt someone else?"

His mother's earnest advice still echoed in Lin Fan's ears.

His parents' nagging was so hypnotic.

Lin Fan nearly fell asleep listening and only barely managed to endure until the end when he was allowed back to his room.

He spent the rest of the night reading, accumulating some more experience points, before finally welcoming this morning.

Bringing his thoughts back to the present.

Lin Fan had just dropped Lin Duo off at the school gate and turned to walk toward the academy.

He casually pulled up the system panel for a glance.

...

[supreme path system (Glitch Version)]

[Host: Lin Fan]

[Level: 10]

[EXP to Level Up: 50/100 (Glitch Version)]

[Realm: Tier 2 Mage (Late Stage)]

[Elemental Attributes: Space, Lightning]

[Special Abilities:]

[Dual-Element Constitution: Host can control two types of elemental power simultaneously.]

[Void Walk...]

...

Adding the 15 experience points left over from his last level up.

He had only accumulated a total of 50 points now.

"Sigh, I really want to go out and train."

Lin Fan sighed as he walked.

His silver cloak fluttered gently in the morning breeze.

He had already decided that he would go to the library later to resign.

He really couldn't stand it anymore.

The days of having to wait until the weekend to go out of the city and grind experience.

Although there were many books to read in the library, which earned him experience and a salary...

Working at the library meant he had to attend to people borrowing books at any time, making it impossible to focus on reading.

Moreover, that salary was pitifully small... only 20 yuan a month!

It was simply ridiculous.

He could make more than that just by selling a single demonic beast corpse.

After quitting the library job.

Lin Fan planned to go out of the city to train every day after school!

That way, he could grind experience while improving his strength!

Before long, Lin Fan arrived at the academy and went straight to his first classroom.

Unlike ordinary schools, the academy didn't organize morning assemblies for students; teachers would announce any notices directly in class.

The first class this morning was "Demonic Beast Habitats and Ethology."

The lecturer was a middle-aged male teacher with graying hair.

This course had a lot of content and lasted for a full two hours.

During class.

Lin Fan noticed that his surrounding classmates were constantly stealing glances at him with strange looks and whispering underneath.

As soon as the bell rang and the teacher stepped out of the classroom, the previously quiet room instantly erupted into chaos.

The students couldn't hold back anymore and began discussing loudly, completely ignoring the fact that Lin Fan was still in the room.

"Have you guys heard? That loser Lin Fan actually dared to make a move against Goddess Su Linlin yesterday!"

"What? You're joking, right? How is that possible?"

"I'm not lying! I saw it with my own eyes! It was at the theme park yesterday!"

"Right, right! I was there too! I saw Lin Fan take down Goddess Su Linlin's two bodyguards in a single move!"

"What? Isn't he a loser? How can a Mage Apprentice use spells?"

"Brother, look closely! That loser has finally promoted to a First-Order Mage!"

Hearing this.

A large group of students all turned their heads to look at Lin Fan.

Since he still had Aura Camouflage active, disguising himself as a First-Order Mage, everyone believed it to be true.

"Whoa! It's true!"

"It wasn't easy. After four years, he finally reached First-Order Mage. This speed is way too slow."

"Slow as it is, it's better than being stuck as a Mage Apprentice for life, right? Looks like he's a late bloomer."

"So what if he reached First-Order Mage? He's at the Early Stage at most; he's no match for Goddess Su Linlin."
