Chapter 8: The Internet Can Be Used Like This?

“Master, it seems that Felix Magic Academy has now banned students from accessing the Internet,” Loxia cautiously reminded.

With her personality, she would never have said something like this a few days ago.

She would have just pretended not to know, hiding in her own quarters.

But today, she mustered up the courage to speak out.

Ever since her master introduced the forum feature, she suddenly found life became more interesting.

She also realized that she could no longer live without the Internet!

When her master first introduced the Internet, no matter how hard she tried, she wouldn’t have believed this.

But here she was, faced with that reality.

Thanks to the Internet, although she was still alone, floating in the ancient castle hidden between dimensional cracks, she could still learn about the world and meet many interesting people and their stories.

She even saw reflections of herself within countless life experiences.

Seeing so many people with troubled fates still striving upward, she suddenly felt that life was still hopeful.

Especially the students from Felix Magic Academy—they made her feel… a sense of existence!

After defeating a Felix student in a debate, it seems she had become quite famous.

Nearly every moment, students sought her out to ask about magical knowledge, and with nothing else to do, she naturally answered every question.

Under the influence of Tang En, her magic expertise may appear at the Mage level, but her knowledge is almost on par with the Archmage level.

When answering these students, she naturally showed a vision far beyond ordinary people.

Now, many on the forum affectionately call her ‘Young Tutor’! Some magic apprentices even tried to probe her real identity and wished to become her disciples.

The feeling of being admired and worshiped was simply amazing!

That feeling was like on a freezing winter day, opening the window to let a warm ray of sunshine softly embrace you, like snuggling against a little kitten.

How could she not care about the Felix students? So even if it might anger her new master, she decided to at least try.

After the reminder, Yu Sheng’an did not respond for a long time.

Loxia cautiously looked up at her master. He was leaning back on the divine throne, eyes closed, as if in a light nap.

Surrounding him, bits of primal energy gathered, forming a thick and powerful energy ring that looked intimidating! “Master… wouldn’t you do something?” Loxia lowered her head and couldn’t help but softly remind again.

“What can I do? Go and smash Felix Academy?”

Yu Sheng’an didn’t open his eyes, his voice was calm, but it made Loxia tremble all over, her expression dimming.

Smash it? How could that be possible!

The Kewell Empire has maintained its magical heritage despite being surrounded by the Five Prime Gods for a reason.

Felix Magic Academy only banned students from using Divine Magic, not the entire empire. This wasn’t enough to make Yu Sheng’an turn against them.

Loxia could easily deduce the reasoning behind it.

“Loxia overstepped!” She said, her face dim, bowing slightly, ready to leave.

“You care a lot about the students at Felix?” Yu Sheng’an suddenly asked.

“Yes,” Loxia openly admitted. “Loxia really likes the new job Master arranged, interacting with these young people. I feel like my magical knowledge has grown richer.”

“Young people? How old are you? I mean your real age.”

“Huh?” Loxia was stunned, her pretty face suddenly turned red. She mumbled for a while before responding, “I died and transformed into a ghost at seventeen. It has been sixteen years since then.”

“So you’re thirty-three!” Yu Sheng’an sighed.

What is this? A loli body with an ojou-sama’s heart?

“No… it’s not like that… It’s just seventeen,” Loxia hurriedly refuted instinctively.

“Yes, yes, I understand, forever seventeen.” Yu Sheng’an casually agreed, his tone so practiced, “By the way, how did you die?”

“My cousin disguised himself as a bandit and stormed into the castle for the title. In my final moments, I transformed into a ghost,” Loxia’s voice was calm.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to bring up a sad story.”

“It’s alright, it’s all in the past.”

“So how did you end up meeting Tang En?”

“Lord Tang En was just passing by, saw that my soul was pure, and took me with him.”

Yu Sheng’an nodded, shifting the topic, “What do you think about Felix Magic Academy’s actions?”

“The Magic Academy is the core of Kewell Empire. It’s not surprising that they reacted this way when you touched their core interests, Master.”

“What do you think I should do?”

Loxia bit her lower lip and suggested, “The Kewell Empire stands strong amidst the Five Prime Gods for a reason. Loxia believes that the Master should promote Divine Magic in a peaceful manner, avoiding conflict with them.”

As she said this, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Wasn’t this the opposite of her original intention when she came here? When did her thoughts change?

“A peaceful stance does indeed help to dissolve potential enemy hostility! But if today I give up five cities, tomorrow I might have to give up ten. Wouldn’t this lead to one night of peace at the cost of countless compromises? That’s not what I want! Unbounded appeasement will only lead to the enemy underestimating us and gradually eroding our position.”

Yu Sheng’an’s eyes were cold.

With five thousand years of cultural heritage backing him, he didn’t need to guess Felix Magic Academy’s motives. He had plenty of historical examples to draw upon.

Call it a test or a warning, but Yu Sheng’an was not about to give up on Felix’s students.

On a small scale, they were thousands of high-quality users; on a larger scale, this was a landmark event. If he backed down now, he would have to back down countless times in the future! If he couldn’t handle a small magic academy, how could he ever hope to infiltrate the territories of the gods?

Loxia was stunned.

She couldn’t fully understand everything her Master said, but she grasped the essence of his message.

“Master, what are you planning to do?” Loxia asked, her heart torn.

On one hand, she hoped Felix students could freely access the Internet forum; on the other hand, she didn’t want her Master to clash with Felix over these students.

Before her thoughts could drift, her Internet Ring suddenly flashed, a message appeared in her mind.

It was a notification about an Internet update.

She instinctively activated the Internet Divine Magic. Upon seeing the new Internet features, her eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Yu Sheng’an with utter shock!

The Internet can be used like this?

…

…

Within the second-year Magic Seal course at Felix Magic Academy, chaos ensued.

“Desowa, are you insane?!”

“Teacher Bled, don’t misunderstand, Desowa was provoked. He… he didn’t mean it.”

Desowa’s friends tried to restrain him and desperately apologized to the Teacher.

It turned out that during this class on Magic Seals, Desowa openly questioned the teaching quality at Felix Magic Academy, demanding to know why the Abyss Formula wasn’t taught to them. Was it because most students would never reach the Archmage level, so they simplified the knowledge?

But even so, shouldn’t the students be informed? Even if the Abyss Formula wasn’t explained in detail?

Faced with Desowa’s challenge, how could the Archmage Bled tolerate it?

He immediately rebuked, “Is this academy your home? Are we your parents? We teach you magic knowledge, and instead of being grateful, you dare to question us? Are you challenging Felix’s authority?”

This sharp retort left Desowa speechless.

If Yu Sheng’an were here, he might have easily found a counter: ‘You dare to open an academy and claim to educate, but don’t dare to admit your mistakes? Isn’t that a joke?’

Unfortunately, first-generation netizen Desowa didn’t yet possess the basic qualities of a keyboard warrior.

His face turned red with suppressed anger, and he shouted, “This lousy school! Who needs it? I’m leaving!”

And just such words set the classroom ablaze.

It could be said that this was unprecedented in the history of the Magic Academy! There had always been only schools expelling students, but never a student expelling the school.

“Fine, fine, fine!” Archmage Bled was furious, pointing at Desowa, “Don’t think just because you’re a magic prodigy, you can do as you please! The world is never short of geniuses. If you leave Felix, no other magic academy will dare to take you in!”

“Then so be it! Even without a magic academy, I can still practice magic!” Desowa roared.

“Ha! Depending on that Internet?” Bled sneered, “I admit, there are many experts there, but so what? Can you distinguish which knowledge is correct? Can you be sure which experts aren’t just bored show-offs? Can you guarantee that all your questions will be answered?”

Bled slammed the table, his words ringing with finality, “Take a good look. How many Archmages have self-trained? How many Grand Archmages have no magical heritage? If becoming an Archmage were just a matter of reading a few books, wouldn’t the Five Prime Gods already have countless followers, and wouldn’t our Kewell Empire no longer exist?”

Desowa’s face turned pale at these words.

He had to admit, Bled’s words were true.

Magic is a rigorous science; it’s not a discipline where mastering a few advanced formulas makes you invincible.

It requires steady accumulation of knowledge from the basics.

Especially with Magic Seals, without the guidance of a predecessor, even the smallest mistake could have severe consequences.

He had been overwhelmed by anger and had lost control! Since his failed debate, his reputation had taken a hit. He had always been a genius, always in the spotlight since childhood, so how could he endure such humiliation?

He hated himself for showing off,

And he hated Felix Magic Academy for deliberately hiding advanced magical knowledge.

Thus, today’s scene unfolded.

He thought the Teacher would indulge him as usual, not realizing that even the most talented student was insignificant when faced with the collective interests of the Academy.

At that moment, the Internet Divine Magic he had secretly inscribed on his wand suddenly flashed, and a message entered his mind.

He froze, then burst into loud laughter.

“Hahaha…”

“What are you laughing at?” Bled was stunned.

“Has he gone mad?!”

“Desowa, hurry up and apologize to the Teacher!”

The surrounding students were whispering nervously.

“I laugh at your stubbornness and lack of reflection! Take a look at this!”

Desowa shouted, activating the Internet Divine Magic, and a Phantom Scroll appeared in the classroom.

All the students instinctively looked over, and saw a new icon on the scroll! “What’s that?”

“Online Classes?”
