46: You are the spark

These few people were students from Class Six.

They were also the lowest-ranked class among this year's Awakened Ones.

The people in this class were either not strong enough and spent half the day in the forest without completing the task, or they had bad luck and couldn't find suitable teammates before the exam.

However, the four sitting at the dining table had a very reasonable professional distribution, forming a perfect lineup consisting of a Warrior, a Knight, a Mage, and a Scholar.

The reason they didn't complete the exam, and even ranked last in the entire school, was simply because... they provoked the Consultant.

That's right, these people were the 'Campus Four Tyrants' led by Zhang Chi.

After one competition, their fame far surpassed that of the Consultant and his group.

After all, they were personally escorted out by the Dean in front of everyone.

All the teachers and students in the school saw their pathetic side!

They gnashed their teeth in hatred, blaming the Consultant for everything, and were determined to find an opportunity for revenge. Who would have thought that after the exam, the Consultant would actually be first place!

First place, that title was beyond the reach of these four good-for-nothings.

But if they didn't get revenge, they couldn't even eat, so they set their sights on someone else.

That was Zuo Dao, who was sitting across from the Consultant with a worried expression.

It was unlikely to deal with a Consultant who had the dual Awakened professions of Beast Tamer and Magic Swordsman, but the four of them working together could easily handle an Apothecary.

Therefore, the four of them had been secretly watching Zuo Dao for a long time.

They even listened to Zuo Dao more intently than to the Consultant.

"The time for revenge has come. You all know what to do, right?"

Zhang Chi's lips curled into a sneer as he stared intently at the Consultant's side, saying sinisterly.

The Knight nodded heavily: "Understood, Zhang Chi. Should we beat him up now?!"

“...”

Everyone fell silent.

The sinister demeanor Zhang Chi had just put on vanished without a trace, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

The Scholar's eyes darted around, and he said with a smile, "I understand, Brother Chi, you're planning to find an opportunity..."

He raised a finger and pointed at Zuo Dao, then drew it across his neck!

“...”

His action once again plunged everyone into silence.

After a long while, Zhang Chi looked at the backs of the two leaving the dining hall, and a cold smile reappeared on his face.

"Have you heard the story about our academy's bell tower?"

The Mage suddenly looked up, his eyes shining: "You mean, the Star Bell Tower that's haunted at night?"

The Knight and Scholar next to him also brightened: "Right, I remember now, there seems to be a medicinal field below the Star Bell Tower!"

"What do you mean, we challenge him to a duel there?"

“...”

Everyone glanced at the Knight, ignored his idiotic remark, and continued chatting.

"Brother Chi, I understand what you mean, but that Star Bell Tower is a restricted area!"

"That's right, that place is dangerous. The teacher specifically said before that we absolutely must not go near it!"

Listening to the two, Zhang Chi sneered and shook his head disdainfully:

"Heh heh, dangerous is exactly right. As for the teacher... are you afraid of the teacher?"

"Of course not!" the Knight still answered quickly.

The others remained silent, somewhat hesitant.

"Don't think about it, brothers!" Zhang Chi quickly said, "Have you forgotten what the Consultant and his group did to us?"

"The reason we ended up in last place is all because of him!"

"It's only been one morning, and many people are already laughing at us. Do you want to endure this for several years?!"

"Now is the chance, the chance to turn things around! As long as we lure Zuo Dao to the bell tower and teach him a lesson, we can prove our strength!"

"Then, let alone ordinary people, even the teachers will have to avoid us!"

Zhang Chi stared intently into the eyes of his three teammates, and from their flickering gazes, he knew he had succeeded in inciting them!

They exchanged glances for a second, and sinister smiles appeared on their faces, as if success was already within reach.

After lunch, the Consultant and Zuo Dao returned to the classroom together.

The gloomy Wang Xu was still teaching, and the Consultant, as usual, lay on his desk, using the Slime as a pillow and sleeping soundly.

The afternoon passed. When Zuo Dao woke the Consultant, he still looked melancholic, seemingly not having escaped his distress.

The Consultant couldn't help much, so he just offered a few words of comfort, and the two walked to the dormitory together.

The class zero dormitory was a dedicated small building. Their ID cards had different numbers, symbolizing their corresponding rooms.

The Consultant's room was closest to the building entrance, with Zuo Dao next door.

After they parted, the Consultant used his card to open the door to his room.

Upon entering the room, a faint blue light flickered, seemingly identifying the Consultant's identity.

Is this magic power?

The Consultant was a little surprised, then realized that this was probably specially set up by Dean Jiang Cen for students in their special class.

The room was large and much more luxurious than where he had lived before. In addition to the necessary facilities, there was also a stone slab hanging on the wall with text written in magic power.

[All class zero students, please absolutely obey the following rules.]

[Rule One: No students are allowed to fight in the dormitory. In case of an exception, immediate expulsion.]

[Rule Two: If conflicts arise between students, report to the homeroom teacher or the Dean. Do not handle it yourselves.]

[Rule Three: Students are not allowed to leave the academy without authorization during study hours, nor are they allowed to skip classes; free activities are permitted during rest periods.]

[Rule Four: All students may freely use the facilities in the dormitory, including but not limited to training, experimentation, etc.]

[Rule Five: Subsequent content will be adjusted based on student actions.]

[Final Rule: Every student, please protect yourselves. You are the spark, the hope, the future!]

The Consultant merely glanced at it, and the content seemed to be deeply etched into his mind.

Immediately afterward, the content on the stone slab changed, turning into the indoor dispenser the Consultant had seen at the training ground.

It was just that this dormitory seemed to have just been built, and many functions had not yet been fully set up.

Of course, even if these functions were fully ready, the Consultant had no intention of starting training now.

The Consultant was not a very diligent person; he would only make a little effort when necessary.

As for now... time to relax!

The Consultant turned off the stone slab, took off his shoes, hugged the Slime, and collapsed onto the bed. A faint fragrance continuously wafted into his nostrils, making him feel sleepy.

Thump... clang!

The door next door seemed to have been knocked open, and a series of hurried footsteps passed by the door, heading out of the dormitory building.
