This class was quite fruitful for everyone.

Except for Daniel.

As soon as class ended, he bounced in front of Chloe, and said enthusiastically: "Your fire can really burn anything!"

Chloe looked at him: "Do you want to try?"

"Of course!" He took out the drawer panel from his desk and handed it to Chloe, "Burn this for me."

Chloe was unusually silent for a moment, then said: "It's not good to destroy public property."

Daniel had no choice but to put the drawer panel back, then took out his own, a huge iron hammer.

"Do you really want me to burn it?" Chloe asked.

Daniel said decisively: "Burn it!"

Chloe looked left and right, then sneakily took Daniel out of the classroom to the empty training ground.

A faint blue flame lit up on her fingertips. In less than half a second after getting close to the iron hammer, the whole hammer was set ablaze.

The flames shot up several meters high, reflecting the entire training ground blue.

But this fire burnt fast and extinguished fast. In an instant, the iron hammer was burnt to ashes, and Chloe retracted the flames back into her palm.

Daniel was amazed: "So powerful, this is really a bug-like ability."

"It's alright," Chloe said thoughtfully. "Elves can easily extinguish it."

Their ruckus attracted some attention, but not many people discovered it, only Qin Huaibei and Anderson who were rushing over saw it happen.

Seeing the ashes on the ground, Qin Huaibei was stunned for a moment, then said: "Playing with fire will make you wet the bed at night."

Chloe looked at him: "What does that mean?"

Daniel laughed: "He cursed us to wet the bed tonight, hahaha!"

"......"

Chloe stood up and started fighting with Qin Huaibei.

After about ten minutes, Qin Huaibei was defeated and went to research where he had gone wrong.

Chloe found Anderson and fought another match with him.

The few people in the training ground were not idle at all, and were soon sweating from busyness.

Chloe took the towel Anderson handed her and hung it around her neck. Then she keenly noticed a line of people standing on the corridor above the training ground, who seemed to be getting a tour guide.

They were dressed in military uniforms completely different from the No. 1 Military Academy. They walked in a standard and regular manner, and seemed to be around the same age as them.

Chloe called out to Qin Huaibei and pointed at them, asking: "What's that?"

Qin Huaibei looked up at them, suddenly remembered something, and said: "People from other military academies. Judging by their clothes, they should be from Brut."

"Brut?" Chloe repeated the name, then shook her head, "Never heard of it, which unpopular military academy is that?"

Qin Huaibei: "......Brut is the most famous military academy besides the No. 1 Military Academy. You really don't know how to talk, has no one ever beaten you up before?"

Chloe thought about it carefully and honestly replied: "No, I'm usually the one beating others up."

Considering Chloe’s identity, Qin Huaibei felt that made sense, so he stopped talking.

On the other side, Daniel, who was playing with the iron hammer ashes, stood up: "So why are people from Brut Military Academy here?"

Qin Huaibei looked at him in surprise: "You don't know? The military academies arrange competitions between new students every year to seize resources. It's always been the norm."

He stroked his chin: "Those Brut people probably came to visit."

Chloe moved closer: “Competition? What competition?"

Qin Huaibei turned his head and saw that besides him, there were a total of one, two, three illiterates here.

He sighed and reluctantly started explaining.

It turned out that besides the No. 1 Military Academy, there were three other equally famous military academies: Brut, Sasley and Tagar.

The three military academies were at daggers with each other, and none could stand the sight of another. Every year during enrollment, they would fight once, let alone during competitions.

Qin Huaibei kicked a small stone by his foot and said: "Plus Brut doesn't have a good reputation."

Chloe: "Explain in detail."

"They are too arrogant, always acting high and mighty. I really can't stand them."

Upon hearing this, Chloe fell into thought.

If even Qin Huaibei couldn't stand those Brut people, they must be pretty unbearable.

Just as she was thinking this, Brut's tour group had already gone downstairs through the stairway into the training ground.

The one leading them was a teacher from the No. 1 Military Academy. Chloe and the others greeted the teacher properly. Their gazes then fell on the Brut Military Academy students behind.

Those students were indeed expressionless, seemingly even more arrogant than elves.

They eyed the group of four people huddling in the training ground with disdain.

As they walked past Chloe and the others, they heard someone whisper:

"There are actually only so few students in the training ground. It seems the new students of the No. 1 Military Academy this year are very lazy."

Upon hearing this, Chloe paused, eyes lighting up: “He’s praising us."

Qin Huaibei remained silent. What this person said was not wrong.

In fact, the No. 1 Military Academy had special training rooms. Students generally practiced specialized training in the training rooms for faster improvement.

The training ground was usually only for students who were extremely bored.

According to reason, Qin Huaibei should also be practicing in the training room, but when he saw Chloe, Daniel and Anderson were going to the training ground, his body followed them over unconsciously.

These four were the extremely bored students, yet they even got praised.

Qin Huaibei: "......"

He pinched between his eyebrows——Chloe was quite harmful.

The Brut students were visiting the training ground of the No. 1 Military Academy. Although it didn’t show on their faces, it was evident they were actually very envious inside.

Let's not talk about anything else, the No. 1 Military Academy was indeed rich. Although in order to train the students’ sense of hardship, the school was not built too extravagantly, the necessary training facilities were nothing short of top notch, all state-of-the-art equipment.

If it was another military academy, these facilities would definitely be placed safely indoors, but the No. 1 Military Academy brazenly put them out in the open, fully proving its wealth and power.

It would be a lie to say they were not envious.

The guide teacher from the No. 1 Military Academy was introducing these training facilities to the Brut students, completely ignoring their almost gritting silver teeth.

Chloe watched them from afar, feeling their reactions were quite interesting. An amused smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

At this moment, she was tapped on the shoulder.

Chloe turned around, only to find it was Ren Yunying.

Her expression changed instantly.

What was going on? Why does she bump into this instructor everywhere?

Ren Yunying seemed to not have noticed her frightened expression and only led Chloe and the few others forward: "Come with me."

She brought Chloe and the others in front of the Brut students with a proper smile. She introduced to the Brut student in lead:

"These are the few we have nominated to participate in the competition this year. Come on Chloe, say hi to them."

Chloe blankly shook the hand of the boy opposite her.

What on earth? The competition is starting already?
