Chapter 27: The Tumbler Spell

Lin Bai stood in front of the door of the magic course and quickly felt that this course was different from the other course.

Previously, Lin Bai had been thrown into the combat course by Cage for no reason. Thus, he had some understanding of the environment there.

However, now that he looked at it, the difference between the magic course and the combat course was like night and day!

The golden and dazzling door was already very extravagant. Meanwhile, the relief sculpture on the door was even more delicate and exquisite. With one look, one could tell that it was carved by an old Daoist. Its aura was extraordinary.

After pushing open the door and entering, it was as if Lin Bai was no longer in Sorcha College. Instead, he felt like he was in a medieval castle.

“This is actually the work of Sorcha College…” Lin Bai could not help but sigh emotionally.

It seemed that Sorcha College had indeed had a glorious period more than 30 years ago.

“The classroom, the classroom…” Lin Bai mumbled, not forgetting his original goal of coming here.

He was here for class.

After being humiliated by Garth several times, Lin Bai no longer dared to do whatever he wanted.

After all, it was still unknown what kind of temper his magic teacher had.

After finding the classroom, Lin Bai carefully opened the door and peeked inside.

The classroom was already filled with people. Everyone had their heads lowered as they looked at the materials seriously. No one was talking to each other.

This atmosphere made Lin Bai feel a little oppressed.

“You’re the newcomer today, right? Garth told me everything.” A voice sounded from behind Lin Bai.

Lin Bai suddenly turned around and realized that a middle-aged man had unknowingly stood behind him.

Furthermore, he was extremely familiar with this middle-aged man.

“I’m your teacher in the magic course, Charlotte.” Charlotte tilted her head and gave Lin Bai a smile.

It was actually this fellow! Lin Bai felt a little nauseous.

“Hello, Teacher,” Lin Bai replied expressionlessly.

He really didn’t like Charlotte.

After all, she was just an unknown person who made assumptions.

“Your experience in playing truant… I’ve heard about it too. However, now that you’re in my hands, I’ll only be stricter than Garth. You’d better not think about how to fool me.”

The signature fake smile on Charlotte’s face still made Lin Bai feel uncomfortable.

“Thank you.” Lin Bai politely responded, wanting to quickly dodge this trouble.

“It’s time for class. Stop looking at the door. Hurry up and go in.”

Then, Charlotte pushed open the door of the classroom. In order to make way for Charlotte, Lin Bai, who was standing in front of Charlotte, could not help but walk into the classroom.

The creaking sound of the door opening attracted the attention of everyone in the classroom.

Everyone’s gazes immediately gathered on Lin Bai, who was a new face. This made Lin Bai feel uneasy, and he quickly found an empty spot to slip in.

Oh, right.

Teaching materials were also books. If he flipped through the teaching materials, wouldn’t he be able to master all the knowledge in the books?

This way, he could finish the courses that others took a year to complete in a day!

Lin Bai, who was overjoyed, quickly took out the magic materials and flipped through them page by page.

The various spells dazzled Lin Bai. Very soon, he saw a spell called Telekinesis.

“Telekinesis: Within the range of the magical power, the caster can control lifeless objects according to their will.”

Yes, it sounded good!

Lin Bai began to read each word excitedly. He memorized all the techniques and descriptions regarding Telekinesis.

However, why didn’t he feel the familiar feeling when he activated his Reader skill?

Lin Bai frowned strangely. While Charlotte was in the middle of her class, he secretly extended his wand and cast a Telekinesis spell on the chalk on the podium.

The chalk… did not move.

Lin Bai was secretly speechless.

No way, no way. Could this Reader skill be ineffective when faced with the teaching materials?!

After trying a few more times, Lin Bai finally gave up struggling.

Alright, he understood now. This skill to become stronger from reading books was simply useless when faced with the teaching materials!

Lin Bai wanted to cry.

“Lin Bai, don’t be distracted!” Charlotte noticed the uncertainty in Lin Bai’s eyes. A piece of chalk drew a parabola in the air and landed accurately on Lin Bai’s head.

Was throwing chalk a unique skill of Sorcha College? It was bad enough that Cage was so accurate, but why was Charlotte so accurate as well?!

Lin Bai gritted his teeth angrily and leaned his chin on the table as if he had nothing to live for.

“Let’s continue.” Charlotte knocked on the blackboard. “Speaking of Mage Merlin, everyone knows that he is a legend in the magic world. Not only did he defeat a world-destroying magical beast alone and turn the tide, he also created many spells and passed them down.”

“Of course, no one is perfect. Furthermore, Merlin is not absolutely outstanding.” At this moment, Charlotte did not forget to step on Merlin’s foot, as if she would feel uncomfortable if she did not belittle him. “He has also created some useless magic. The Tumbler Spell is one of them.”

Lin Bai’s heart skipped a beat as he felt something in his body react.

“The effect of the Tumbler Spell is also relatively simple. It can ensure that the caster doesn’t fall for a day.”

The classroom roared with laughter at Charlotte’s words.

What was this! Not falling for a day?

Why was there such a useless spell?!

“Actually, Merlin’s intention was not like that. In the beginning, he was preparing to create a fainting spell to knock his opponent to the ground…”

“In the end, he made a mistake and made himself the target of the spell.”

“He also reversed the effects of his magic. The magic that could have caused a person to faint instead prevented them from falling for a day!”

“However, if you’re so bored that you want to learn this spell… I can only tell you that it’s very difficult to master this spell!”

“That’s why I said that it’s useless!”

The students in the classroom were laughing so hard that they almost couldn’t breathe.

Only Lin Bai was serious.

This was because he really felt that something in his body seemed to resonate with Charlotte’s story.

This was… the feeling of activating his Reader skill!

He seemed to have learned the Tumbler Spell!

Lin Bai was stunned.

He couldn’t learn magic from reading the teaching materials, but he could learn magic from listening to stories?

Lin Bai pondered in doubt and could not help but forget that he was in class. In Charlotte’s eyes, Lin Bai’s current state was no different from being in a daze.

“Lin Bai, how many times have I reminded you! Pay attention in class. Don’t always be in a daze!” Charlotte used her terrifyingly accurate chalk attack again and reprimanded him.

“Seriously, just criticizing you will cause me to waste a lot of time in this class.”

When Charlotte said this, Lin Bai felt the malicious gazes around him.

The top students in the class looked at him strangely, their eyes filled with blame..
