Master Xiu

Me and Hu Ao arrived at the library. It truly is huge. It has a total of 6 floors, with each floor having an area of 3000 square meters. The library is divided into three sections, floors 1 and 2 are some basic magic theory and elementary spells(rank 1-3 magic), floors 3, 4, and 5 are intermediate spells (rank 4 and 5 magic), floor 6 is advanced spells. With our level, we can enter the second sector. (The sectors have restricted access, only those at the required level can enter.) The number of people on floors 3, 4 and 5 is the greatest.

I saw the top student's name who all studied in the academy before, as I have guessed, The Radiant God Zhang Gongwei's name was there. I am really a prodigy to study at the same place as my idol.

After that, I and Hu Ao entered the 4th floor and went to look for our respective interests in magic. but I never fund anything besides 2 advanced light magic and Spatial magic books. Hu Ao found quite a few books regarding fire magic and wind magic. We went to the librarian and asked if any books related to Shadow Affinity are available. he gave permission only for me alone to go through floor 6 as the Academy has given me special permission to train my shadow affinity. I left Hu Ao on the 4th floor and ran towards the 6th floor. After an hour of searching, I found two books related to Shadow affinity. one was named history of the Shadow God, and the other was a Book related to Shadow mage.

I began studying the books after returning to the 4th floor. i never realized the time passing by.

...

"Zhang ling, it's dark out now. We should go back now! We still need to attend class tomorrow."

"Okay." Oh, that's right. In the evening, I need to look for a place without anyone to examine my magical beast, Xiao Hei.

After eating dinner in the dining hall, we returned to our respective dorm rooms. Green Hair doesn't dare to say anything when he sees me. The other two roommates are both meditating. I'm still not familiar with them and don't know their names.

I secretly snuck out to the academy's rear courtyard. "Hear my name, my magical beast Xiao Hei, obey my command and come forth." A Black smoke with a blue light flashed and Xiao Hei's adorable figure appeared before me. I hold in my hands, carefully inspecting him. It seems like he has grown a bit bigger than when he was hatched. His growth is quite fast. In just 1 day he has grown this much.

"Xiao Hei, do you know any magic!?" With anticipation, I asked.

Xiao Hei doesn't seem to really understand anything I said, simply using his head to rub against me. "Xiao Hei, Shadow Arrow." He shook his head. Nothing happened. No way, he's a growth-type magical beast. He should be able to do anything I can. How can this be?

"Foolish child, in order to communicate with your magical beast, you must use your mind. If you speak to it, it won't understand you at all." A benevolent voice came over.

"Who?" I immediately turned my head. A dark Smoke with white light-like eyes stood before me.

"mm, Who are you?"

"That's right. You and I major in the same element. I'm also an Shadow mage!" The black smoke came up to me and patted my head. it was like the feeling i get when i am meditating to call my Shadow element freinds. a warm feeling of a family.

"Try communicating with your magical beast using your mind. See if it works." he said

"Okay!" In any case, there's nothing else I could do. For the time being, I'll try it out. I focused my mind and through my spiritual connection with Xiao Hei, I told him to release a Shadow Arrow. I also told him how to cast Shadow arrow, as well as its effects. Xiao Hei looked at me for a bit, then his body began giving off a layer of Blue light. A Black shadow arrow came out of his mouth then hit the nearby tree stump.

"And it succeeded!" As I found out how to make Xiao Hei cast spells, I was exceedingly happy. After Xiao Hei cast the spell, his whole body became soft. It seems he has exhausted his strength. I immediately summoned him back into my body.

"Thank you, Elder shadow."

"You're really talented in magic, so quickly mastering the communication method between you and your magical beast. Not bad. Do you want to study Shadow magic under me!?" faced me and asked.

"Can you tell me who you are, elder, as they say, I am the only Shadow Affinity mage in the world?" I asked him.

"My name is Lao Xiu, I used to be the shadow God's particle of Shadow, left to teach the legacy of the Shadow affinity to the Shadow Affinity inheritor. so after I sensed your presence, my child, I came here to see you, as you are the only one with Shadow Affinity," he said and revealed his true form,

he wore a black robe. he had long white hair and a beard. he looked like an elder with a magister rank mage.

After seeing his true form and hearing he is sent by the shadow God from 1,000,000 years ago to find me. guess it all makes sense that I would be his student.

"Yes, it would be an honor to be your student master Lao Xiu," I told him.

"well, you shouldn't say this to anyone. I am a reincarnation of the Shadow particle. and I am the academy's director. so, I will teach you Light magic as well okay!!" he said.

"wait master, are you really a reincarnation?" I asked

"yes, The Shadow particle left by the Shadow god reincarnates every century to find the Shadow affinity inheritor. As it continued, ii reincarnated a million times to find you,...haha," he said.

Woah!! he reincarnated a million times just to find me, the shadow god is really great.

"Xiao Ling, I will appear before you, when you are ready, okay, now go to your room and take a rest," he said with a warm smile.

"okay Master Xiu, I will."

....

Returning to the dorm room, I find that green hair is already fast asleep, playing chess with the "God of Dreams". The other two are still meditating. I lie down on the bed and begin communicating with my uncle and aunty Shadow and blue light essences. Shadow and the blue light essence entered between my eyebrows. I amass a portion of the Shadow essences in my body and gather the other portion to Xiao Hei's location. With a satisfying appearance, Xiao Hei emitted a happy sound, expressing his pleased mood.

Recently, whenever I meditate, I can absorb both the Shadow essence and Blue Light essences.

Xiao Hei is feeling good too, so who cares until any bad happens.

...

First thing in the morning, Hu Ao came over to invite me to eat breakfast together. Today for breakfast there's steamed buns, eggs, congee, cow's milk, and what not. I think I ate 2 steamed buns, 3 eggs, 1 bowl of congee, and 1 cup of milk. The students beside me all looked at me foolishly. Even the dining hall teachers are considering whether or not to raise my food fees a bit. Who cares what they think, I eat my fill first then say: "I'm full. Let's go to class Hu Ao."

We arrived at the classroom bouncing. Wow. Apart from us two, everyone else is already here, including the green-haired bed bug. Could it be that I remembered the class start time wrong? No way. It's 8:30.

"Zhang Ling, Hu Ao, quickly go and take your seats. In the future, arrive at class half an hour earlier. We're the A-class, we're different from the other classes." The teacher said with a very proper appearance. Yesterday she introduced herself as Zhu Dai yu, the second…

"Yes, Teacher Dai Yu." I rushed Hu Ao's tongue to spit, then quickly went to our respective seats.

"Well then, we'll be beginning class. Today our main topic is long-range delivery magic." Teacher Dai yu began an unceasing torrent of explanations regarding the magic's origin and its applications. I have already been taught by these kinds of demon teachers. I want to sleep. I finally heard what seemed to be that position is very important in long-range delivery magic and so on. The following sentence woke me up when I heard it. Class ended.
