“… Haha, don’t you think this thing looks a lot like a cauldron?” Wang Zheng laughed.
Oliviola nodded. Perhaps it was such a name that had managed to get her to loosen herself up in just a short while, and she also stopped stammering.
“I have a fear of heights. And everyone is able to pilot a cauldron except for me, so I wanted to practice it secretly…” Oliviola was a little embarrassed as she spoke.
She had no problem using her ability but once she thought about floating in the air, her whole body would become weak.
“You belong to the non-fighting type?”
“I’m the fighting type.”
Wang Zheng was stunned. “But you have no problems when piloting mecha?”
“I don’t really think much when I’m piloting mecha. But I’m not sure why once I start using this thing then I will start feeling wobbly. Wang Zheng, do you have any solution to this?” Oliviola asked with a hopeful face.
Wang Zheng pondered for a bit and was sizing up Oliviola. “It’s not that there isn’t any solution, just that it might be a little violent. Will you dare to try it?”
Oliviola immediately nodded her head. “Yes, I can. I’m fine with anything, I must learn how to pilot this… cauldron!”
Wang Zheng nodded. This was perhaps a must as it would be too inconvenient if you were not able to make use of the flying device on campus. It was the only type of transportation available and the campus was huge. If one were to walk everyday, one would probably become a marathon athlete.
“Come, come up here.” Wang Zheng extended his hand. Oliviola did not hesitate, she immediately stood on top of the device. Even though it was for just one person, but in reality, it had no problem fitting two on it, and it was especially so since Oliviola was so petite.
“Let’s go!”
Whoosh! And the flying device soared into the air instantly. It immediately increased its speed and little student Oli’s face was very very white. She was hugging Wang Zheng and both of her eyes were shut tightly while her whole body was trembling.
“Student Oli, if you want to overcome your fear of heights you will have to open up your eyes. I feel that your fear of heights isn’t too serious, and actually, this is also not that scary.”
Actually, student Wang was also not a doctor. However, to deal with such a thing there was one method that was worth a try, and it was “limit therapy”. As long as one breaks through their limits, they would recover from it. Oliviola did not dare to try it on her own, and at the same time, she was also one who could fight. It was definitely unlikely for her to break down from the scare, and sometimes, one just had to be a little fiercer…
Suddenly, Oliviola felt that she was being thrown out by someone. This…
In the night sky, Oliviola opened her eyes. She was flying! But… only that it was downwards!
Before she could scream, Wang Zheng was already driving his cauldron over. He grabbed onto Oli, but immediately after that, he did a big turn and threw her out again. Oliviola was flying once again, but to Wang Zheng’s surprise, she actually did not scream. But instead, she was covering her own mouth. When she was being thrown out for the third time, Wang Zheng could already sense that there was a slight change, as Spectacle’s mental state was clearly improving.
After a few consecutive times of being thrown, this student was already filled with excitement, and there were no more fearful expressions.
Wang Zheng caught Oli and they landed onto the ground. Once they landed onto the ground, even though Oli’s legs were still wobbly, but she felt great.
“Seems like it wasn’t that scary?”
Wang Zheng laughed. “All those high difficulty level movements that you do while piloting mecha are much more dangerous compared to this. This is at most a small psychological barrier, you will get better if you try it a few more times. Come, I will lend you my cauldron for a while, try piloting it on your own.”
“Can I?” Spectacles was a little embarrassed. Ever since coming to school, all of her classmates around her either had not paid any attention to her, or they would be bullying her. And in fact, it was still better if they bullied her, as at least there were still people who paid attention to her.
“Of course you can, we are classmates!” Wang Zheng said.
Student Oli stood onto the cauldron very carefully. She activated her mental power, and the cauldron suddenly soared into the air like a rocket artillery. Oliviola who was dancing and gesticulating joyfully almost fell down, but nevertheless, she managed to steady herself.
Her mental fortitude was really not bad. It was true that one should not judge a person by his or her appearance, everyone who was able to come to the Elite Academy all had a few tricks up their sleeves. Even such an inconspicuous little girl was also actually someone with C rank ability, and would definitely have no problem controlling a flying device.
Just that… this girl had become addicted to flying. Could you please not do this, there was still someone below bracing against the wind…
Oli had always been feeling a little inferior due to this matter. After coming to the school for such a long time, she still did not have any friends to interact with, and she also would not dare to tell this to anyone. But who knew that she would be able to overcome this difficulty in an instant? Hence, she flew and flew for quite a while.
Student Wang felt begrudged, but he also could not be too crude to a girl. Hence, he sat under the tree waiting for her, and also conveniently watching over the little one who was in the sky as if she accidentally fell and became seriously injured, he would not be able to compensate her for the loss.
Fortunately, after playing for a while, Oliviola also realised that she took quite a long time. However, Wang Zheng actually realized something. This girl had been doing all sorts of high difficulty level movements that were very energy consuming in the air, such that even the usual C ranker’s would not have been able to endure. But when she came down, even though her little face was red, but she was not tired in the slightest bit. And if not for Wang Zheng being there, she would have continued playing around for quite some time.
This Elite Academy really hid many talented individuals. Someone who was so inconspicuous actually had such firm foundational skills, it seemed like he also had to work harder, and not just rest on his past achievements.
After returning the cauldron to Wang Zheng, little Oli promptly bowed and expressed her gratitude. And even Wang Zheng also felt embarrassed. “Oli, we are classmates. You don’t have to be so formal. How old are you this year?”
“I’m sixteen.”
Looking at student Oli’s expression, it seemed that she disliked herself for being slow-witted… coming here at sixteen years old… even if it was the seventh class, she was also considered to have a bright future.
“I am a few years older than you, you can regard me as your older brother, and don’t keep thanking me.” Wang Zheng laughed.
Oli bit her lips, “Can you not be my older brother?”
Wang Zheng laughed, this girl was pretty interesting. “I was just saying it as an example, you can also choose to regard me as a classmate or friend.”
“Friend, friend!” Once she heard this word, Oliviola was really happy.
And only at that moment then Wang Zheng realised that the introverted Oli must have been very lonely. “Sure, from now on we will be friends. And I know many interesting people, and I am sure that they will like you alot.”
“Will they?” Oli was a little unconfident.
“Of course they will. Student Oli is so smart and polite, everyone will surely like you.” Wang Zheng said.
Oli felt embarrassed again by his words, “Even though I know that you are exaggerating, but I am still really happy.”
“Alright, it’s already late at night, let me send you back. Go to the Office of Academic Affairs tomorrow to change your cauldron, don’t use this damaged cauldron any more.” Wang Zheng said.
Oliviola nodded her head. It seemed like she suddenly wanted to say something, but she hesitated.
“If you want to say something, just say it. Friends would not be so polite to one another.” Wang Zheng laughed. It seemed that Oli was not too adept when it came to interacting with people. If Tyrant Su was around, he would definitely had been able to turn her into a natural socialite in three days.
“That… actually Majgull isn’t a very bad person. It’s just that his temper isn’t too good.”
“Oh? But that day I still saw him bullying you…” Wang Zheng was doubtful.
“No, it was because I didn’t pay attention to where I was walking that day…” Oli explained it to Wang Zheng. It seemed like there were people from Class Huang-2 who bullied her, and it was Majgull who had helped her. But the outcome was that he was being beaten up by the other party, and in the end, it was because the other party was scared to stir up big trouble so they decided to let it passed.
Wang Zheng did not expect for Majgull to have such a strong “sense of justice”, andhe couldn’t belive it.
“Alright, I understand.”
Wang Zheng flew Oli back to the doorstep of her hostel. Almost all the girls that Wang Zheng had came into contact with were full of confidence and awesomeness. This was his first time meeting someone like Oli, delicate and also a little low in self-esteem, but she was also so kind hearted. To be honest, a character like hers was really unsuitable here, and even more unsuitable for the future battles ahead. However, everyone had their own goals, and at least with their current relationship, Wang Zheng was not in a position to say too much.
Oli bowed happily once they landed. “Student Wang Zheng, thank you for sending me back.”
Wang Zheng could not stand this. “If you continue to be like this, the next time when I see you I will be making a detour. Even though it is said that nobody will find fault with extra courtesy, but now we are friends, there is no need for friends to keep thanking each other all day long.”
“Yes, yes…”
“Wang Zheng?”
Wang Zheng turned his head. It was Yan Ge… wasn’t she Mo Ling’s best friend?
Then he looked beside her, gosh… isn’t this Zhang Shan? This guy… isn’t he too fast with his moves?
At this moment, Yan Ge and Zhang Shan were holding hands. It was evident that student Zhang Shan was the woman’s escort, he was accompanying Yan Ge back to her hostel.
This situation was a little awkward as after all, student Yan Ge did not have a favourable impressions of the both of them at the beginning… Girls, always said one thing but meant another…
Yan Ge was also a little embarrassed, and immediately separated from Zhang Shan. But when she was going in, she still did not forget to wave goodbye to Zhang Shan.
Zhang Shan could not help but to wink at Wang Zheng. “Not bad, you are pretty quick with your moves. But who was that Spectacled girl?”
“Go away, she is in our class, our classmate. It was just that her cauldron was damage, and I happened to pass by so I sent her back.”
“Eh,… she was the one with spectacles? F*ck, she’s actually a girl? I thought she was a guy.” Zhang Shan looked at Wang Zheng with a pretty weird expression. “Dude, I know you are feeling low, but you must not abandon yourself to despair!”
Wang Zheng was crying in his heart, really no good words were to be expected from this scoundrel.
“D*mn, when did you hook up with Yan Ge? You are so fast with your actions”
At the mentioned of this, Zhang Shan immediately became high-spirited. “He who is not seeking romance is wasting his youth. I am so handsome, I just need to casually move my fingers and beautiful ladies will automatically come to me. And only the beautiful ladies of Class Huang-1 can barely match me.”
“You will die if you don’t boast!”
“Yes, aliens will die if I stop boasting, haha.”
The two of them drove their cauldrons and flew back to their hostel. And for the whole journey, Zhang Shan could not help but to show off. Usually people would be more vague with their private businesses, but Zhang Shan was a whole different type. He was fond of sharing, like he was afraid that other people would not get to know of his romantic affairs.
“Actually, these girls are not as arrogant as what we had imagined. The key thing was communication. As you communicate they will open up. Yan Ge is actually not bad, she is also an influential figure of our batch.”
“Damn, are you being serious about this or are you just fooling around?”
“Look, are you such a dull person? What does it mean to be serious? And what does it mean to fool around? We are still young, the most crucial thing is to be happy together. At this moment, as long as we are both willing, that is the most important. Moreover, if I wanted to be responsible for her, I can guarantee you that she would be able to dump me in seconds, such is youth romance. Let me tell you, my fellow classmate and team leader, can you not be so old-fashioned? I always feel like you are from a different generation. Tell me, did you time travel here from the ancient times?”
“I travelled through your head!”
“Haha, I am saying the truth. I am not as good as you in terms of fighting, I am not as good as you in terms of physics. But in other areas, I am still pretty awesome. To recount, you must not abandon yourself to despair, that Spectacles is not suitable for you!”
“Get lost! Do you believe that I will knock you into the ground?”
“See, you flew into a rage out of humiliation. You don’t even have any sense of humor, because… Ah, ah, it hurts! Murder!!!”
