Chapter 13 Behemoth Beast (Part 4)_1

Sura huffed, "I don't care, anyway, I've lost all my money, this is our last meal. After this, we won't even have money for vegetables. You caused me to lose my money, you should compensate me."

Looking at Sura's face, still wet with tear drops, Ye Yinzhu couldn't help but feel a mix of laughter and tears. He sighed softly, and his Space Ring shone faintly as the last few Gold Coins appeared in his hand. "Take them all, this is all I have left."

Sura was taken aback; he had never expected Ye Yinzhu not only to not blame him for losing all their money but also to give him the remaining money without a single word of reproach.

Taking the Gold Coins and slowly lowering his head, Sura's expression underwent subtle changes, and his gaze softened without him realizing it.

"Let's eat quickly. Don't gamble anymore. These few Gold Coins should last us for some days," Ye Yinzhu urged, stuffing a steamed bun into Sura's hand and pulling him to sit down opposite himself.

Looking at the steamed bun in his hand, Sura didn't move for a long time.

"Yin Zhu."

"Hmm?"

"You're a good person," Sura sighed softly.

Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly, "I think so too."

Sura laughed bitterly, "But how are we going to survive in the future? Everything in Milan is so expensive. This money will last us at most for a bit more than a month. I've lost dozens of Gold Coins! Dozens of them!"

Ye Yinzhu said helplessly, "I don't know what to do either. I'll try to win the championship of the freshman competition. Then we'll have money."

Sura snorted, "You think it's that easy? You've seen the strength of the Dark Demon Sect, but in the Nine Magic Attributes, oh, including your Divine Music Department, now there are ten, the Dark Demon Sect can rank at most third or fourth. The strength of the Wind attribute, Space Attribute, and Light attribute won't be weaker than them. And those definitely stronger than them would include the Spiritual Attribute and Summoning Department. Miracles don't always happen. Even if your Divine Music Department has some strength, it doesn't mean you can keep winning in the later competitions."

Ye Yinzhu said, "I have confidence in myself."

Sura rolled his eyes at him, "But I don't have confidence in you guys."

Ye Yinzhu said with a bitter smile, "What can we do then? Gold Coins won't just fall from the sky, will they?"

Sura's eyes suddenly brightened as she said, "Yin Zhu, why don't we go out and get jobs? Milan Magic Martial Academy focuses a lot on self-study, with classes only three days a week. We can use our free time to work, and as long as we find an ordinary job, it will be enough to cover our expenses at the academy. Don't forget, we still have to pay tuition next term. One year's tuition is one hundred gold coins! That's no small amount."

When Sura mentioned the tuition, Ye Yinzhu couldn't help but think of Haiyang, nodded, and said, "Alright. So what should we do?"

Sura shook her head and said, "I don't know yet. How about this: you need to continue competing, and I'm free anyway. I'll go out and look these next few days, and if I find a suitable job, I'll take you with me."

Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, "Okay."

Sura chuckled and said, "However, I'm going to be in charge of our wages from now on to prevent you from wasting it. You're too careless with money."

Ye Yinzhu looked at her speechlessly, thinking to himself that she was the one who had lost all her savings not long ago. Although he thought this, he didn't voice it out loud, instead agreeing to Sura's request. To him, money wasn't all that important; having food to eat and a place to stay was enough.

When the competition started the next day, Milan Magic Martial Academy had a beautiful new sight to see. Eighty-one Divine Music Department students from all five grades had formed a super cheerleading team and appeared early at the competition field.

Perhaps the Divine Music Department was not a favorite to win the championship, but it was definitely the most popular. Such was the strength of the Number One System of Milan Magic Martial School. The number of spectators at the other competition venues paled in comparison to the Divine Music Department, with their turnout being described as just a couple of kittens. Even those students and teachers who came to watch the competition at the Divine Music Department, regardless of their opinion on its chances or concerning themselves with the results, always enjoyed seeing the beauties.

Eighty-one beautiful girls from the Divine Music Department! Even if not all of them were stunning, at least over fifty percent could be considered beauties, and among them were some real gems. Plus, they were certainly from noble backgrounds; who wouldn't want to catch the eye of a beauty? To watch the Divine Music Department in action was at least a treat for the eyes. After all, this was the first time that all grades of the Divine Music Department students had gathered together.

From that day on, every time before a Divine Music Department match began, the best seats in the proving ground would be occupied by rows of girls in white skirts and blue blouses, with bright eyes and white teeth, who would shout in clear, enticing voices: "Divine Music Department must win."

It wasn't clear if it was because the new students of the Divine Music Department were indeed strong or if the cheerleading team boosted their morale, but in the next two days of competitions, the Divine Music Department won three consecutive matches. They defeated the Earth Attribute, Fire Attribute, and Light Attribute departments. The only trouble they had encountered was during the match against the Light Attribute department. However, the main player of the Light Attribute department didn't have a growth-type Magical Beast like the Dark Demon Sect's main player Yue Ming, who also was Yellow-rank Advanced rank, but still couldn't break through Ye Yinzhu's defense of Sound Blade combined with Moon God's Protection, and fell to the Divine Music Department's quintet performance. For a moment, the Divine Music Department incredibly had a record of five wins in five matches, ranking them first along with the Spiritual Attribute and Summoning departments in the new students' Magic Department competition. Next, they were to face the Wind attribute team led by the magic prodigy girl Roland, who had issued a challenge to Ye Yinzhu during the new student registration.

Sitting in the stands, Director Nina looked somewhat haggard with a furrowed brow. Despite the Divine Music Department's three consecutive victories in the past two days, she had not shown a smile.

"Why isn't it working? Clearly, my Magic Power is much stronger than that kid Ye Yinzhu's, but why can't my flute sound control the opponent's Magical Beast? Could it have been just a fluke that day?"

"What is Director Nina thinking about? The match is about to start." A gentle voice sounded, pulling Nina back from her thoughts. When she looked up, she saw Principal Ferguson standing by her side before she even knew it. Maybe because the Divine Music Department unexpectedly came out as a dark horse, Ferguson attended every match, quietly watching the competition before quietly leaving.

"Good day, Principal. I was just thinking about some issues with the music," Nina responded lightly.

Ferguson smiled and said, "The Divine Music Department's matches have been an eye-opener for me. It's a pity that it's very difficult to improve the rank of a Divine Music Master. Otherwise, using it in any battle would cause heavy damage to the opponent." Indeed, the biggest issue troubling the Divine Music Department was not the playing time of the music but the difficulty of cultivation. A Divine Music Master's Magic Power only improves when practicing while performing. This was far more challenging than the simple meditation of an Ordinary Mage. Otherwise, you wouldn't see teachers with low ranks like Brigitte. With the five-year curriculum of the Divine Music Department, as long as one can raise their strength to the Orange rank, they can graduate, which is much lower than other magic departments.
