Elite Mages’ Academy (Web Novel)

Chapter 175: Meeting Gu Xiaoyue Again

Why was he in second place?

When Xiao Lin saw Gu Xiaoyue’s attributes, he could not help but gape. His excitement for his own growth quickly dimmed when he saw that Gu Xiaoyue’s total attribute scores were already at a staggering 60 points. Out of those points, her Intelligence attribute was already at 40; that alone was enough to equal Xiao Lin’s total.

After calming down, Xiao Lin noticed that the girl was seriously imbalanced. Her other attributes only totaled to 20 points. Even though Gu Xiaoyue had attended some classes to improve her physical attributes, progress looked to be very slow.

Xiao Lin looked at Wang Dalin’s attribute points, finding that he was at 38 points in total. Even though it was only two points lower than Xiao Lin, he remembered the guy being among the highest ones during the entrance examinations, so his growth lagged behind a lot of them.

Xiao Lin was not worried about Wang Dalin at all. With his current speed, he would soon eclipse everyone else, other than Gu Xiaoyue.

“In the end, he’s only an idiot who only knows how to talk!” Xiao Lin said before once again banning Wang Dalin and shifting his attention to Gu Xiaoyue’s information.

When he opened the lifespan column, Xiao Lin stared for over ten seconds before almost throwing his mouse on the floor in anger. On the monitor, Gu Xiaoyue’s lifespan was still at 2 years.

Was this a joke?!

Gu Xiaoyue actually did not buy lifewater at the beginning of the month. The data showed she only had a few hundred points left, but it was clearly shown that Gu Xiaoyue had obtained an A-grade in the examination.

Coupled with the entrance exams and the first monthly examination, Xiao Lin was absolutely certain Gu Xiaoyue had enough points to buy novice lifewater, which was sold at a thousand redemption points. She only had so little left in her account, which meant she had actually spent her redemption points on other things.

Xiao Lin was furious and called Gu Xiaoyue right away. She did not pick up even after several minutes, so it was not clear what she was doing. However, Xiao Lin did not want to wait any longer. He stormed out of his room. As the acting class monitor, he obviously knew everyone’s room numbers.

The woman’s dormitory was on the fourth floor. Xiao Lin went straight for Gu Xiaoyue’s room, and his banging on her door even caused the other students to look at him curiously. However, when they noticed it was Gu Xiaoyue’s room, they quickly lost interest. Gu Xiaoyue was cold to everyone, even if some male students tried to get close to her, the female students did not care for such a cold person.

After about two or three minutes, Xiao Lin was about to leave when the door opened. Gu Xiaoyue had a jacket on as she looked at him with a confused look. Her hair was still wet and a little messy, and her pale skin was red with heat; it was obvious she just came out of the shower.

Xiao Lin felt a bit awkward before remembering why he was there, and his anger quickly rose again.

After a month of not seeing each other, Gu Xiaoyue was still the same. Her bespectacled face had a cold look, not even showing a shred of surprise or happiness at seeing Xiao Lin again.

Xiao Lin quickly pushed open the door. “What is wrong with you?! Why didn’t you buy lifewater at the start of the month? Are you that confident you won’t die in the next examination? Or maybe you don’t even care if you die!”

His loud shouts attracted even more attention, and Xiao Lin hurriedly entered the room. However, as he closed the door behind him, he wondered if it would cause even more misunderstandings.

Xiao Lin suddenly had a headache when he saw that Gu Xiaoyue’s expression did not change. She did not react to his berating or anger, nor did she care about his rudeness.

Gu Xiaoyue thought for a moment before softly and coldly saying, “If I’m not mistaken, the acting monitor does not have the power to choose how we spend our redemption points.”

Xiao Lin paused. She was not wrong.

Everyone had absolute power over their own redemption points, and no one in the academy could interfere with it. However, Gu Xiaoyue was different. She only had two years left.

Xiao Lin patiently said, “Then you shouldn’t be so callous with your own life. Even if you really don’t die in any of the examinations, in two years you will… I met your sister when I went back to Earth. She cares for you a lot, and I told her you would take good care of yourself. Surely you won’t want her to not be able to see you again.”

Bringing up her sister, Xiao Lin remembered the picture in his possession. He hurriedly ran out to get it, and after a few minutes, he gave it to Gu Xiaoyue. She glanced at the picture and a tender look flashed on her face, but it was only for a moment before she reverted back to her cool self, rolling up the picture before saying, “That’s right, it’s definitely from her. Thank you.”

“That’s why, even if it’s just in consideration for your sister, you shouldn’t be taking risks…”

“I’ve already addressed it.” Gu Xiaoyue interrupted Xiao Lin.

“Huh?”

Gu Xiaoyue tidied her messy hair as she said, “In that letter I gave you, I’ve already addressed everything that needed to be settled, so even if we never meet again… What I mean is, thanks for your concern, but we don’t need any outsiders interfering with us sisters.”

“You told her you only had two years left in your letter?”

“That’s right.”

Xiao Lin was dumbfounded. Gu Xiaoyue’s sister, Gu Chengyun, read the letter right in front of him. He obviously could not read the weird symbols and letters in the letter, but Xiao Lin clearly remembered that Gu Chengyun seemed very normal after reading it. She even had a very charming conversation with him after that, let alone showed any signs of sadness.

How could someone not react at all when they knew their sister only had two years left in their lives.

Xiao Lin could not understand those siblings at all, but he suddenly lowered his voice as he warned, “You said you addressed it in the letter? After returning to Earth, I understood that if we don’t let anyone from the academies know of this place, there are only two consequences. One is the other party joins us; the other would be to eliminate the other party. Thankfully, only you, your sister and I know about the letter. I won’t tell anyone else; you should keep it a secret as well.”

Xiao Lin did not ask what exactly Gu Xiaoyue said in the letter, nor did he want to know. However, the girl with her paralyzed legs drawing cheerfully in a wheelchair left a deep impression on Xiao Lin.

No matter if it were to eliminate her or to bring her to the academy, Xiao Lin felt that both options were very cruel.
