Chapter 33: Clearly a Warrior, But Wants to Be a Mage
Fang Ye revealed his Blaze ability for two reasons!
First, it was all about his own positioning.
In this world, there were many people with long-range elemental abilities, commonly referred to as “mages.” Fang Ye’s public identity would be that of a mage!
In future team battles, he could just stay in the back and throw fire punches at the enemy! This way, he’d be safe and misleading at the same time.
If someone underestimated him and treated him as a real mage, thinking they could take him on in close combat…
Heh!
His Saitama-like physique would show them just how deceptive appearances can be!
Second, by revealing his Blaze ability, he could also ensure the school valued him even more.
Just look at Yan Tai’s expression right now…
“Oh, right!” Yan Tai suddenly said, “Tomorrow, the testing team from above will come. Make sure you perform well!”
“Who’s the testing team?” Fang Ye asked.
Yan Tai explained, “They’re the ones who test newcomers like you, to see how much strength you gained from Forbidden Zone No. 2. Based on that, they’ll give you a power evaluation!”
“The higher your evaluation, the more benefits you’ll get.”
Fang Ye’s interest was piqued. “What kind of benefits?”
Yan Tai, being very patient with Fang Ye, explained, “Normally, you’d get a monetary reward, like a monthly stipend. And for someone like you, with a potential ability, you’d not only get money but also special privileges, such as an immunity token!”
“An immunity token allows you to be exempt from criminal responsibility for breaking the law—just once!”
“As long as you’re not murdering people or causing chaos in a public place, you can use the token to avoid prosecution for one crime!”
“You can even use the immunity token to absolve someone else’s crime!”
After hearing Yan Tai’s explanation, Fang Ye was stunned.
A criminal immunity token?
Even though it was only a one-time thing, that was practically lawless. No doubt, it stirred a lot of controversy and dissatisfaction among the general public.
The government was clearly going all out to win over powerful individuals!
Fang Ye asked a key question, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. If someone actually uses the token, with all the privileges they receive, surely the government expects something in return, right?”
Yan Tai smiled and said, “Yes, while the token grants you immunity, in return, you must join a special department. Normally, you won’t have to do much, but in times of national crisis, you’ll be required to answer the government’s call immediately. If you don’t, you’ll be hunted down by the enforcement team, which is made up of powerful individuals.”
Fang Ye nodded, as if this had been expected.
…
At that moment, they had reached the entrance of the dormitory.
“You should head in and get some rest. I won’t go up with you,” Yan Tai said as he stopped.
“Thanks for explaining everything, teacher.”
Fang Ye expressed his gratitude before heading up to his dorm.
Yan Tai waited until Fang Ye’s figure disappeared from view before turning back. However, instead of returning to his own dorm, he rushed back to the principal’s office to report that Fang Ye had gained the Blaze ability.
As expected, the principal was even more excited upon hearing this news, and his regard for Fang Ye increased significantly…
Meanwhile, Fang Ye returned to his dorm and was immediately swarmed by his roommates.
They all wanted to flatter him, hoping that in the future, if they encountered any trouble, Fang Ye would help them out as a fellow roommate.
Fang Ye made some casual remarks and eventually managed to shake them off. But in his mind, he was already thinking about asking Old Yan tomorrow if he could switch to a single dorm room. Having people constantly fawning over him like this was just too uncomfortable…
After that, Fang Ye decided to get some much-needed sleep.
Unfortunately, a certain girl was still waiting for his phone call. She ended up waiting until the middle of the night, but it never came…
…
The next day.
At 9 AM, all the freshmen were gathered again on the field to reflect on their journey into Forbidden Zone No. 2.
First, the principal took the stage and gave special praise to Fang Ye and Su Ziqiu. After saying a few encouraging words to everyone, he handed the field over to the testing team.
