3 Teacher Yu Xuan

Feeling accomplished, I returned home and see that mom has already prepared dinner.

"You're home! Were you good today in class?"

"I was very good! Right, mom today I picked the major and minor magic elements I want to study."

"Ah! Come quickly husband, our son has picked his major and minor magic elements!"

"Really? Son, you awakened your affinity then. did you choose wind magic?"

Hearing the news, dad quickly ran over.

"Definitely not, obviously our son chose to study water magic, right son?"

With eyes brimming with hope mom looked at me.

My mom is an intermediate water element mage and my dad is an intermediate wind mage. Since the moment I have been born, they have been arguing about what magic element I should choose as my major.

Watching their eyes brimming with hope, ah, I might as well give them a shock?.

"No, no, not at all. The major magic element I chose was neither the wind element nor the water element."

"What?" The two of them looked at me with surprised eyes.

"Then what did you choose? Did you choose the earth element or the fire element? Either of those is unbefitting of my son. You didn't even consult me or your mother about choosing your magic element. This month you're not getting an allowance!"

"Is your ass itching for a beating!?" Dad said with a threatening look.

"No, no. It's not like that. Mom, dad don't be upset. I didn't choose the fire element or the earth element, I am a Shadow affinity mage. the legendary shadow affinity!"

"What? Shadow affinity?"

"Yeah!! the Shadow affinity is the Affinity which was lost 1,000,000 years ago with the Shadow god. the legend says that the Shadoe affinity will once again appear in the distant future. And the lucky person to have the Affinity in the entire world is I, your son Zhang Ling. how many years, I have been bullied and tortured that, I am not a person with magic affinity. but it all changed today. isn't it great!!"

As I said this I looked at mother and father with joyful eyes.

Looking at the teary-eyed me, the mother couldn't help but to hug and wish me.

Father also came and embraced us.

"Zhang Ling, in the future you must study properly. You must at the very least become an advanced rank mage!"

"Yes father, I definitely won't disappoint you two."

Mom looked like she suddenly remembered something. "Zhang Ling, do you know what to study, and train your Shadow magic."

"Don't worry, you two can be assured that I will definitely become an advanced mage."

"Well fine, let's eat and celebrate our Zhang ling's Awakening."

A night without words.

The next day, in the morning, working up by both the sun and mother's call. I eat some breakfast and Yu Tu is already here.

"Zhang ling it's time to go to school. Today the classes will be divided."

"I'm coming. Let's go!"

Just like yesterday, we step into the classroom.

The old witch walked in.

"Enough, quiet down students. We're going to start dividing the classes. In this group of 5 classes, everyone has already picked their major and minor elements to study. All 5 classes will be rearranged into new classes according to the element that was chosen. Three classes for fire, two classes for water, two classes for wind, one class for the earth, and one class for light. Now I will announce the classes each of you will be in. As I read off the classes, go to the class you have been assigned."

"Tang Xue, fire element class one. Li Jie, fire element class one….. yu tu, water element class two….."

Except for me, all of my classmates have been assigned their class, and one by one they left to for their assigned class. After the last student leaves for their class.

"Zhang Ling, follow me to see your teacher. Since there are only 10 light element mages, the academy has specially arranged for a teacher to give you specialized tutoring, as you have Shadow Affinity."

oh! a specialized teacher. I better make a good appearance to him. While thinking this, I walked with the teacher out of the classroom.

Arriving at the teacher's office on the third floor, isn't this the principal's office?

"Go on Zhang Ling, come in with me." seeing me, the old witch gave me a pull.

"Oh, good, teacher."

Entering the principal's office, I see the principle behind a big office desk smiling at me.

"Teacher Lin, is Zhang ling is in your class? well, we already met, so I think we don't need any introductions, I guess."

My eyes followed the principal's hands. Ah, this is going to be my teacher? A 50-year-old man? Looking at him from head to toe, he looks like a spotless purple-robed mage shaking with energy. On his chest is a mage badge with four stars. (A mage's rank can be seen by the number of stars on his badge. Each rank has risen corresponds with an additional star while an apprentice mage has no stars.) Wearing a serious face, he seemed quite ominous.

"Hello, my name is Yu Xuan, you can call me Teacher Yu."

"Teacher Yu, Please take care of Zhang Ling!!" Teacher Lin said.

"Teacher Lin, no need to be courteous."

"So you are Zhang Ling. Hey, you better study magic properly under me, don't go cocky just because you have Shadow Affinity. I'll have you know I'm very strict. I hope you will study hard as I will try my best to impart my knowledge to you."

What can I say? My eyes had already lost hope. How could I have overlooked this? I'm going to become cannon fodder! So miserable! God of Creation, you treat me so unfairly! Why are you giving me a strict teacher!!

"Thank you, teacher. I will put in a great effort."

It seems from now on I am going to have a hard time. I better train hard with Teacher Yu.

On the way home, Yu tu asked me who my magic teacher was. In order to save face, I boasted that I had a very benevolent teacher. Yu Tu enviously told me that his class's teacher is extremely fierce. How could he possibly be fiercer than Teacher Yu?.

....

Right as Teacher Yu was eating dinner, he sneezed and thought 'Who's cursing me?'

....

I heard that historians recorded the Teacher of the Child of light, my Idol, Zhang Gongwei, had a teacher named Xi Yu Xiu (Teacher Xiu). exactly like Teacher Yu.

If there hadn't been the Great Mage Xi Lu Xiu to build the foundations into the Child of Light when he was still a child, then there wouldn't be the Child of Light as we know it.

Wow, then my idol Zhang gongwei must have been like me.

Laying this so-called solid foundation had such a great effect that the Grand Magister, known as the Child of Light, trembles at the name of Xi Lu Xiu even thirty years later.

so the same going to happen for me too, huh!!
