Raising A Golden Crow In Secret - Chapter 10
Chapter 10: Very Hard Wings
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Du Yu, who had returned to the school gate, recalled the storm of paper cranes.
The sanitation in Songguta City was quite good. Coupled with the fact that the citizens had picked some up and brought them home, Du Yu rarely saw any paper cranes since he returned home from the hospital yesterday.
At the school bus door, Mengnan took out a piece of paper and handed it to the fierce-looking middle-aged man at the door. “Hello, Teacher. This is my certificate.”
The man looked to be in his mid-thirties. He was tall and burly, with dark skin and a chiseled face.
Perhaps he had accidentally lost his grip when he was cutting, there was a long scar from the corner of his right eye to his chin, which added a hint of ferocity to him.
“Hmm.” The scar-faced man didn’t take the paper. He scanned it casually, then tilted his head slightly to indicate the door beside him.
This little action was weirdly stylish.
Li Mengnan picked up her suitcase and got into the car. Behind her, Du Yu also brought out his certificate.
After taking a look at the certificate that Du Yu had provided, the scar-faced man reacted a little more. He sized Du Yu up with his fierce eyes.
“Pure fire, Duyu.” The scar-faced man was practically a subwoofer, making their heads buzz.
The scar-faced man gestured at the black wooden bow on Du Yu’s back. “I heard that you condensed a fire arrow as soon as you obtained the demon weapon yesterday?”
“A fluke,” Du replied softly.
“I wish you more luck.” The scar-faced man clapped a hand on Du Yu’s shoulder. “For the next three days, you belong to me.”
As he spoke, the scar-faced man lowered his head slightly and moved his lips to Du Yu’s ear. “You have to be prepared. My requirements for geniuses are different.”
Du Yu tilted his head slightly and looked up at the scarred man with the strange smile. A strange smile appeared on his face as well. “My pleasure.”
“Oh?” The child in front of him dared to talk back like this? This was something the scar-faced man had never expected.
Du Yu steadied himself and stepped onto the car steps.
How could he be considered a genius when he only awakened at the age of 17? Those children who awakened at the age of 10 and 11 were the true geniuses.
But Du did not question, let alone contradict, what the teacher had said.
For him, being strict was a good thing. If he could receive special attention during the training process, it would be extremely beneficial for him to integrate into the world!
Du Yu knew that he had not performed well in the college entrance examination. Now that he had such a rare opportunity to change his life, he naturally had to do his best!
After boarding the bus, Du Yu looked around. There were already 14 to 15 students in the bus. From the looks of it, they should be graduates from various high schools.
They should also be the lucky ones who had been blessed by the storm of paper cranes.
Du Yu stepped toward the back of the car and looked at Li Mengnan, who was sitting by the window, and the empty seat beside her. Du hesitated for a moment, then continued toward the back.
“Hey!”
Du Yu turned to look. “My name isn’t Hey.”
As soon as he said that, Du Yu felt a little uneasy. If someone in the car really matched the secret code, wouldn’t it be interesting?
“Sit here.” Li’s long legs pressed against the suitcase as it slid in front of his seat and indicated towards the empty seat beside her.
After waiting for a long time, Du Yu heaved a sigh of relief. “You’re not annoyed at me anymore?”
“Better than strangers,” Li said, glancing behind Du.
Du Yu turned his head and looked over. He did not recognize the student behind him, but someone forced his way over from behind. It was a rather familiar face.
He had finally met someone from his school, and it was a student from the neighboring class—Wei Feng.
The young man was tall and thin like a hemp rod. He had a pair of rimless glasses on his refined face and was very handsome.
Wei Feng, who had squeezed over, ignored Du Yu. He hugged a small green wolfhound and smiled. “What a coincidence, Li Mengnan.”
“Okay.” Li Mengnan didn’t even look at Wei Feng. After glancing at the Wolf Lake Dog, she reached out and grabbed Du Yu’s arm, pulling him to the empty seat beside her.
She knew too well how capable this dog skin plaster was. If the seat beside her was empty, this guy could harass her all the way…
Li Hong was not only Li Mengnan and Du Yu’s head teacher; she also taught Wei Feng’s class.
In the third year of high school alone, Li Hong had talked to Wei Feng’s parents more than twice. Even so, this kid still refused to give up. Li Mengnan was about to go crazy.
Wei Feng glanced at Du Yu, who was sitting down, and patted Du Yu’s shoulder heavily. “Heh, you can actually awaken too. Defying all odds out here?”
There was no need to say what odds he defied. He should also be referencing Du Yu’s earlier incident on the mountain.
Du Yu was displeased. He looked at the hand on his shoulder and looked up at Wei Feng. “Nice vocabulary?
“Oh, that’s right! This seems to be a fill-in-the-blank question for our college entrance examination. You learned it yesterday when you compared the answers, right?”
“Pfft…”
“Hehe…” A chuckle came from the car. This kid’s mouth was a little mean, wasn’t it?
After Du Yu raised his head, Wei Feng fell silent and stared blankly into Du Yu’s eyes.
The Du Yu in his impression was far from as elegant as today! This pair of eyes, this…
“Woof!” The pup might not understand human speech yet, but he was sharp enough to sense the attitudes on both sides.
The bark was clearly meant to cheer his master on.
Wolf Lake Hound, a water-type demon pet. It was covered in teal fur and was extremely beautiful.
This kind of demon beast was very famous. Not only was it a newbie demon pet officially recommended by Songguta City, but it was also the standard of Great Xia’s violent organization.
“Those in front, move. Don’t block the way!” A few students urged from behind.
Wei Feng came back to his senses and looked at Du Yu, whose temperament had suddenly changed. The sense of danger in his heart intensified!
“Hmph.” Wei Feng snorted coldly. He suppressed his anger and turned to the back.
“Woof! Woof!” The Wolf Lake Dog bared its teeth at Du Yu and roared a few more times…
The young men and women who had yet to be beaten up by society did not have many twists and turns in their ways.
Li Mengnan’s disgust was written all over her face. Wei Feng’s jealousy and hostility towards Du Yu were equally obvious.
Actually, Du Yu had never been a guardian figure. He was focused on his studies and only wanted to change his fate.
However, because he lived at Teacher Li Hong’s house and inevitably went to school with Li Mengnan, he naturally became a target.
As Wei Feng left, Li Mengnan’s eyes flashed as he looked at Du Yu. He whispered, “You bookworm, you’re usually like a silent gourd, but you actually know how to scold people?”
Du Yu adjusted the black wooden bow and muttered, “I must’ve owed you in the past life.”
However, he really did owe her. Thinking of Teacher Li Hong’s previous instructions, he did not feel aggrieved.
Li Mengnan seemed to have discovered a new continent. Ever since Du Yu stayed at her house, he had always been polite to her.
Did this mean that after the college entrance examination, this kid no longer lived in the Li family, and his wings are finally hardening?
Li Mengnan wanted to retort, but she still admitted defeat, afraid that Du Yu would move seats.
She hated Du Yu, but she hated Wei Feng even more.
At least Du Yu only brought her academic pressure. At least Du Yu did not covet her body!
Li Mengnan pursed her lips and angrily regained her dignity. “Where’s Splat? Let me play.”
Du Yu touched his forehead with one hand. A few seconds later, waves of visible fire elemental light spots surged out from between his eyebrows and pieced together a small fire fox.
Li Mengnan’s eyes widened.
“Here.”
Du Yu had just placed the little firefox in Li Mengnan’s hand when the little guy let out a cheer and whined. Her furry little head plunged into the girl’s soft embrace.
“You’ve already signed the contract?”
Du Yu nodded gently. “I learned it online yesterday.”
Li Mengnan said blankly, “I studied it all night yesterday too. Why didn’t I learn it?”
Du Yu turned to Li Mengnan and gave her a sad expression.
Li Mengnan ignored Du Yu’s expression and was extremely excited. She lowered her voice and said, “Yesterday, you activated the demon weapon and self-taught yourself to sign a contract. You’re a demon taming genius!”
Du Yu waved his hand awkwardly, not daring to monopolize the credit.
I just secretly raised a little Golden Crow~
Li Mengnan tilted her head and sized Du Yu up with her beautiful big eyes, as if she had made a very important decision. “Very good! From today onwards, you are my first underling!”
Du Yu said, “Uh?”
“What kind of expression is that? I, Li Mengnan, am destined to become the Great Xia’s Demon Taming Saint! I will be surrounded by divine pets and have many capable generals under me. I will also have countless fanatical believers who worship me as a god…”
The more Li Mengnan spoke, the more frightening she became. Du Yu even felt like calling the police.
She was definitely a little chuunibyou, but at the end of the day, Du Yu was new to this world and did not understand how much ordinary people yearned for the position of demon tamer.
After waiting for so many years, Li Mengnan finally caught the tail end of her awakening age. Perhaps she had dreamed of such a dream since she was young?
Du Yu hesitated for a moment and didn’t comment. He just silently turned his head to the side.
“You’re as nasty as your master, you stink,” said Li, lowering his head to point at Fox’s head.
However, she really loved Little Fire Fox. Despite her reprimands, the hidden joy in her eyes completely betrayed her.
One knew how to flirt, the other was willing to be flirted with.
It’s a two way street.
Click. The school car door slammed and the scar-faced man stood in front of it. ‘All twenty-four are here. From now on, you’re all in the same cohort.’
The scar-faced man’s fierce gaze swept across the young faces. The group of students lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
The scar-faced man said to himself, “You are companions and competitors. On the day the training ends, I will choose an outstanding student to customize a Demon Weapon.
The novice demon weapon in your hands only has a month of use. Once the time is up, it will lose its original effect and become ordinary wood.”
Du Yu looked up at the scar-faced man.
He had no money! He really needed to have the customized demon weapon!
The scar-faced man said, “The demon weapon custom-made for outstanding students will be made by the masters of the academy. That demon soldier will last longer and be more effective! You can’t buy it even if you have money. I hope you work hard.”
The scar-faced man continued, “My name is Gong Cheng. You can call me Coach Gong. I will be very strict with you.
Of course, if you can’t hold on, just tell me openly. From the moment you speak, I will abandon you and never ask anything of you again.
If you can’t stand my style, get out of the car early. I’ll give you ten seconds to think about it.”
Although Gong Cheng’s words were scary, most of the students on the bus were disdainful.
‘So what if it’s strict? It’s only three days. How can we not last?’
No one moved in the car. Gong Cheng also stepped into the driver’s seat. As the car started, he looked up at the rearview mirror and suddenly said, “Du Yu.”
“Here.” Puzzled, Du Yu pushed himself up from the front seat.
Gong Cheng said, “From now on, you’re the class representative.”
Du Yu looked at Gong Cheng stupidly. “I… Huh?”
A strange smile appeared on Gong Cheng’s face, and the terrifying scar on his face squeezed and squeezed. “What are you confused about? It’s your honor.”
What Du Yu said to Gong Cheng before getting into the car was returned to him.
Gong Cheng ignored everyone and continued driving.
Only Du Yu, who was standing there foolishly, was left facing the various gazes of his classmates alone…
A three-day class rep was not an attractive position to anyone, let alone having to be ordered around by a teacher.
However, after the training period ends, an outstanding student is chosen and awarded with a demon weapon!
This was a big problem!
