I Have a Golden Crow

There are no class bells or schedules for training at the Demon Spirit Academy.

After having lunch in the cafeteria, Du Yu did not return to the dormitory but went to the playground with Li Mengnan to find Instructor Gong.

The talent gap between people is indeed astonishing.

It was already noon, and the vast majority of students were already training their Demon Pets and performing Demon Skills, but in the center of the playground, there were still a few students learning the Demon Disciple Contract.

Gong Cheng stood there under the scorching sun, looking at a few students with a cold gaze.

”Report!” Du Yu stood at attention and called out.

Gong Cheng turned his head to look over, examining Squad Leader Du and his Little Assistant: ”The Little Fire Fox has been retracted.”

Du Yu: ”Yes.”

”Good, aside from necessary training and meal times, do not disturb it.” Gong Cheng pointed to the side, ”You practice the Demon Soldier here.”

Du Yu hesitated for a moment: ”Teacher Gong, the target is over there.”

Gong Cheng turned around, pointing far away to the old teaching building: ”The first classroom on the third floor, do you see that broken window?”

Du Yu turned slightly, looked into the distance, and nodded gently.

Gong Cheng: ”Shoot.”

Du Yu: ”...”

Gong Cheng suddenly shouted: ”Don’t you understand human language?”

”Ah.” Du Yu was startled, why are you yelling so loud...

Silently complaining in his heart, he quickly took down the Demon Soldier Black Wood from his back and immediately drew the bow.

Soon after, a burning Fire Arrow formed, aimed at the broken window on the third floor of the north teaching building.

”Stop!” Gong Cheng issued another order.

Du Yu, although puzzled, did not dare to move an inch.

Gong Cheng turned his gaze to Li Mengnan: ”What is the attribute of your Demon Soldier?”

Li Mengnan quickly answered: ”Wind Demon Soldier·Black Wind Sword.”

Gong Cheng: ”I remember, when you were learning the Demon Disciple Contract this morning, you accidentally activated the Demon Soldier.”

”Yes, yes, that was me.”

Gong Cheng: ”Go find a spacious place to practice, and make sure that every time you draw your sword, there is a gust of wind accompanying it.

Before the sun sets, I want to see your success rate reach 100%.”

”Yes, Teacher Gong!” Li Mengnan tightly gripped the Black Wind Sword hilt, full of confidence, striding towards the southwest of the school.

Gong Cheng nodded in satisfaction and then looked at the students in front of him: ”All of you, pull yourselves together, lunchtime is almost over!”

The few students who were progressing slowly were already extremely anxious, and under Gong Cheng’s relentless provocation and blow, they felt even more disheartened.

No! This is not the life of Demon Taming I imagined!

Where are the promised vibrant colors and the life of a winner?

No wonder this teacher warned us before the journey to take the next school bus early...

”If you can’t take this hardship, look me in the eyes and say you give up! As long as you say it, you can go eat immediately, and I won’t have any requirements for you for the next two days!”

Gong Cheng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back: ”There are trash Demon Tamers everywhere in this world, one more of you won’t make a difference!”

The weather was already hot, and the dual blow to the body and mind truly left the few students battered and bruised.

One of the male students was even on the verge of tears.

Sometimes, it’s not that you don’t want to give up, it’s that you’re afraid to!

Without standing in front of Gong Cheng, facing that dark scarred face and bearing such an intimidating presence, you really wouldn’t understand how much courage it takes to say ”give up.”

Du Yu felt very uneasy as well, he was starting to question whether Gong Cheng was a legitimate teacher or if the teacher had forgotten about him...

”Teacher Gong?” Du Yu cautiously spoke up.

”What?”

Du Yu: ”Can I shoot now? It’s been a while.”

Holding a drawn bow with an arrow for so long is even more tiring than standing at attention! Besides, the Black Wood Bow isn’t meant to be used like this.

Although it’s substandard, it’s still Du Yu’s treasure, and he’s quite distressed.

Gong Cheng walked over to Du Yu’s side, with a cold smile on his face: ”Keep that posture.”

”But my Black Wood Bow...”

Gong Cheng snorted: ”This is a Demon Soldier, it won’t break.”

Du Yu felt a bit more at ease, but still weakly asked: ”How long do I have to maintain it?”

Gong Cheng snorted: ”That depends on how excellent you are.”

Excellent?

Du Yu’s eyes lit up: ”Excellent as in those exemplary students?”

Gong Cheng: ”Maybe.”

Du Yu pressed his lips together, shouting in his heart: I need that Demon Soldier, I really need that custom Demon Soldier!

”Wuuu~ Waa!” Just then, the sound of loud crying came from behind, such a sudden scene, perhaps that child’s psychological pressure was too great?

Du Yu had no time to pay attention to others, focusing entirely on drawing the bow and nocking the arrow, but he didn’t expect to remain standing until a downpour.

June skies, a girlfriend’s face.

Unbeknownst to him, layers of dark clouds were looming in the northwest sky, blocking the scorching sun and bringing down a cool rain.

”Sizzling~ Sizzling~”

Raindrops fell, hitting the black wooden bow, making a sizzling sound.

Du Yu lowered his eyelids, observing the Fire Arrow, somewhat worried it would be extinguished by the rain.

Such worries were realized after a clap of thunder. The rain fell heavier, and heavier...

Whether it was because of the boy’s breakdown in tears or the pouring rain, the so-called learn or starve threat made by Gong Cheng, led him to mercifully let the students go to the dormitory to eat.

On the playground, only a few scattered students remained in training, most accompanied by Water-type Demon Pets: Wolf Lake Dogs.
