Raising A Golden Crow In Secret Chapter 5

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Outside the entrance to the inpatient department, there were a lot of people taking the test. However, there were also a lot of official channels for Songguta City-Demons Bureau to get things done, so there wasn't a long line.

Li Mengnan, Real Amazon, Long Legged Scholar!

She zeroed in on a test site that only had three people in line. She charged in.

Along the way, the children made way for her. Li Mengnan's energetic appearance would even cause people to misunderstand that she was going to some podium for an award…

Du Yu had a milk bag in his mouth. As he drank, he looked around curiously.

The age range of the students was not small. In addition to high school students like Li Mengnan, Du Yu also saw elementary school students.

For example, the little girl in front of Li Mengnan was at most 10 years old. She was so small that she only reached her waist.

If she could awaken at such a young age, they should really focus on her. How many years of head start is that?

“Demon pet!” Li Mengnan seemed to have discovered something and could not suppress the excitement in her heart. She turned her head and whispered to Du Yu.

Du Yu tilted his head slightly and looked in the direction Li Mengnan had indicated.

There were also children lining up on the side of the building, but there was a police cordon around the corner. It seemed that they had to pass the test here to unlock the side map of the inpatient department.

“Fire, earth, and wood elements,” came the voice of the staff at the front of the group. “Go over there.”

“Awesome!” the young man cheered and dragged his father, who was standing in line with him, away.

In just two minutes, the three people in front of the team successfully passed the test. Seeing that it was finally her turn, Li Mengnan felt a little nervous.

“Here, put your hand on the element stone.” The man behind the square table, wearing a blue uniform, smiled and nodded at Li.

“I… I, you go first. I'm not ready!” Li Mengnan suddenly turned, grabbed Du's shoulder, and pushed him toward the table.

Du Yu, with the empty milk bag in his mouth, glanced at Li Mengnan in surprise.

The likes of her backing down? That was new.

Li Mengnan blushed slightly and glared at Du Yu again. “Hurry up, let me take another look.”

Du Yu did not hesitate. He reached forward and pressed his hand on the element stone.

The Element Stone was the size of a basketball. It was crystalline and irregularly multifaceted. Under the sunlight, it emitted a strange luster. It was beautiful.

When Du Yu pressed his hand on the element stone stone…

In an instant, the originally transparent element stone was dyed with a fiery red color.

Red!

Light red, orange, red, deep red…

In just a few seconds, the color in the attribute stone became even darker. It was almost purple!

“Whoa!” The uniformed man looked surprised. He looked at Du Yu and then at the dark red element stone. “Pure fire?”

A single-element demon tamer was extremely rare, but it was only rare and not valuable.

There were a total of six elements in this world: Wind, Fire, Water, Thunder, Earth, and Wood. When demon tamers awakened, most of them would unlock two to six elements.

So the uniformed man was surprised, not amazed.

“The demon breath grade is definitely enough. You're a demon tamer. To be precise, you're a fire-element demon tamer. You've completely awakened.”

The man sized Du Yu up and asked, “How is it? Is your body adapting?”

Du Yu remembered the Scorching Solar Vision, but he didn't dare reveal too much information.

However, with Head Teacher Li Hong and Li Mengnan beside him, Du Yu could not turn a blind eye to his changes. Otherwise, it would not make sense.

After hesitating for a moment, Du Yu removed the milk bag from his mouth and said, “My body was burning hot before, but it has stabilized now. By the way, before my awakening, my eyes weren't as lively as they are now.”

The uniformed man said, “It's normal for your body to be hot. Many children are like this. That's a necessary process for your awakening. You said that your eyes have changed. Is there any discomfort?”

Du Yu shook his head repeatedly. “No, I don't feel anything.”

The uniformed man smiled and nodded. “Then it's fine. You know, demon tamers are no longer ordinary people, and their essence, energy, and spirit are not on the same level.

After awakening, it's normal for your temperament to change a little. As long as it doesn't interfere with your normal life, you don't have to worry.”

Hearing this, Du Yu nodded.

The uniformed man asked, “Are you a high school student?”

Du Yu immediately nodded. “Just graduated from Year Three, college entrance examination was yesterday.”

“Just graduated. Good!” The uniformed man took out a seal and imprinted it on the back of Du Yu's hand. “Go to the side of the inpatient department. Line 12!”

“Okay.” Du Yu wanted to witness the results of Li Mengnan's test, but the staff was already waving at him.

He started walking. Just as he reached the corner, he heard Li Mengnan cheer loudly. “Yay!”

“Hha.” Du couldn't help but smile. There was no need to look. The Long Legged Scholar got what she wished.

Under the guidance of the staff, Du Yu unlocked the side map of the inpatient department. It could be seen that the lines here were arranged according to age.

There was only one person at table 12. When Du Yu arrived, he happened to see him profusely expressing his gratitude and leaving with a cute orange piglet in his arms…

Um?

Was this the officially designated new fire-type demon pet—Little Orange Pig?

“Hello, I'm Zhang Qing, an admissions officer of Songguta Demon Academy.” The woman behind the table waved. She was wearing a white lady's suit and had a gentle smile.

Although she had introduced herself as an officer, at this moment, she looked very much like a lady boss selling goods.

There were many large wooden boxes beside the chair she was sitting on and under the table. Du Yu, who had excellent eyesight, could see the small demon beasts playing amongst themselves through the ventilation holes.

Moreover, there were two wooden boards behind Teacher Zhang Qing, which were strung with all kinds of weapons. Du Yu was secretly speechless.

“Show me your hand.”

Du Yu leaned forward and let Zhang Qing check the red square seal.

“Yes, demon tamer. What are your attributes?”

“Fire.”

Zhang Qing asked, “What else?”

Du Yu said, “Only fire. Pure fire.”

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

Zhang Qing was stunned. After her surprise, a trace of pity appeared on her face.

A fire-type demon tamer meant that you could only sign a contract with fire-type demon beasts.

Zhang Qing adjusted her state and asked with a smile, “How did you do for the college entrance examination? Are you confident of getting into the university you like?”

Du Yu was speechless.

Du Yu, who was slightly embarrassed, turned his head to look at the footsteps behind him and happened to see Li Mengnan coming to line up behind him.

Li Mengnan raised her head slightly and faced Du Yu with his chin, revealing a smug expression. “I'm a wind, thunder, and fire demon tamer with three elements~”

Zhang Qing called back Du Yu's attention. “Student, since you have the qualifications to become a demon tamer, do you want to consider joining the Demon Academy?”

Du Yu said, “I yearn for the Demon Academy, but I…”

“Yes? What?”

Du Yu looked embarrassed and whispered, “I don't have money to pay tuition.”

Zhang Qing was stunned. She did not expect to get such an answer from a young man. She immediately said, “We don't charge tuition.”

Du Yu asked, “How much does a semester living cost?”

He mainly wanted to calculate if he could earn it by working for a few months.

Zhang Qing looked at the plainly dressed Du Yu and realized that this child probably has especially difficult family conditions.

She explained patiently, “It's all free. Don't worry.

“Also, joining the Songgutta Demon Academy doesn't mean that you have to study in school.”

Du Yu said, “Huh?”

Du Yu had just arrived in this world. Although he had some knowledge about the college entrance examination related to demon beasts in his mind, he did not understand the teaching methods of the Demon Academy.

Zhang Qing said, “You awakened after graduating from high school. For students your age, we have a special training system.

We'll give you a three-day training session that will give you a preliminary understanding of the role of demon tamer.

“After the training period is over, we will have an entrance examination. After passing it, you will be a supernumerary student at the Songgutta Demon Academy.”

Du Yu was a little puzzled. There's unofficial students?

“Sitting in, huh?”

Zhang Qing smiled and shook her head. This child from a poor family probably never knew about the Demon Academy.

Poverty was really a terrible disease. It made children afraid even to dream.

Zhang Qing's voice became gentler. “No, not a sit-in student.

After passing the assessment, we will issue you a supernumerary student ID. With this ID, you can go to the surrounding foreign lands to train.

We will give you a year of experience. As long as you can meet the requirements, after a year, you can choose to enter the academy to further your studies or join other demon department internships under the academy's recommendation.

There were a lot of options and a lot of flexibility. You didn't have to worry about anything.

However, this is all in the future. The premise is that you have to pass the first round of assessment and become a supernumerary student of the Demon Academy.”

Du Yu nodded silently.

Zhang Qing was simply a smart person. She went straight to the point. “As long as you work hard and are outstanding enough, you can accept all kinds of missions freely when you become a supernumerary student.”

Most of these missions will have rewards. They can improve your life and help you cultivate.”

Du Yu's eyes lit up!

It was fine if others' eyes lit up, but if Du Yu's eyes lit up… It was simply lethal to the middle-aged teacher!

Seeing that this child's face was finally glowing with a trace of the dream that an ordinary youth should have, Zhang Qing couldn't help but smile.

She continued, “Discuss it with your family. Even if you fail the assessment, you can at least receive three days of free training. It will help you a lot.”

Du Yu nodded decisively and said, “Alright, I'll participate.”

“Let's discuss it with your family first. It can wait.”

Du Yu subconsciously turned around and looked at Li Mengnan, who had a complicated expression on her face. Then, he turned to look at Teacher Zhang Qing. “I can decide for myself. I have no one to discuss it with.”

Only then did Zhang Qing realize that this child was not just poor. He just didn't have a family.

“Then…” Zhang Qing stuttered.” In that case, choose a demon pet first and then a demon weapon later. These are all given out for free by the school. ”

As she spoke, Zhang Qing picked up a large wooden box from beside her feet and gently placed it on the table. “This is a good seedling carefully selected by the school. It's very suitable for newbies to tame. It can accompany you for the rest of your life.”

As the wooden box was opened, Du Yu saw two kinds of demon pets.

To the left was a pile of small orange pigs. To the right was a pile of small orange foxes.

The little orange pigs on the left were sound asleep, one next to the other, their four short legs draped over the back of the pig in front of them, not caring what was happening around them.

Tsk tsk, this box of pork belly~

They were really silly and adorable.

Du Yu couldn't help but reach out and gently poke the little orange pig's butt. The jiggle~

“Left.”

Du Yu's fingers paused as Little Scorcher's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

“Left.”

Du Yu was secretly delighted. Wasn't this pure cheating?

Although he did not know what was good, how could the Ancient Solar Crow not recognize which demon pet had better aptitude?

He moved his palm to the left until he touched the third sleeping orange pig on the left. Little Scorcher's voice came again. “That. Okay.”

Du Yu immediately picked up the little orange pig and examined it carefully. What was good about it?

'It seems no different from other little orange pigs?'

Little Scorcher's soft voice appeared again. “Fatty, oh ~ Meaty.”

Du Yu: ???

Can I mention that we're picking a partner here, not emergency food?
