Chapter 37 - Who Is the Rider

"Who is it? Who's so amazing?"

This riding technique was leaving them way behind.

All those who were initially enjoying the limelight and envious looks while they were riding in front all had dark expressions on their faces now.

"Isn't that… isn't that Mister Baili?"

Someone with sharp eyes noticed a bright white color on the Griffin that looked like pure white snow as it dazzled brightly under the sunshine.

"Haha! He's truly the top genius of the academy! He's just so amazing! Even his riding skills are superb!"

"Mister Baili is so cool!"

"God Baili, I like you so much!"

The young ladies were all confessing their love and admiration passionately. Their voices filled the blue skies and their youthfulness was fully displayed in the sun.

The young men looked at the figure in front a little sourly, but they weren't jealous. They were too far off from him, so the ability to be jealous was a luxury in itself.

Suddenly, a rather disharmonious voice rang out from among the crowd.

"The rider doesn't seem to be Mister Baili…"

Some of them suddenly realized that there was a patch of black in front of that dazzling white.

That black figure was too skinny and petite and Baili Qingxue blocked almost all of her and they couldn't see clearly who it was.

But… why did that figure seem so familiar?

An image immediately popped up in everybody's mind, but they immediately threw that idea out of their heads. That useless bum? You've got to be kidding!

Someone had secretly snuck to someone else from the C-Class and wanted to find out about the rider in black.

The people in C-Class looked at the figure leading right in front with conflicted expressions and all of them pursed their lips and didn't want to say anything.

What could they say? Could they say that the person whose riding skills were so impressive and logic-defying in front was that useless bum, Yun Qingyan?

If others told them so, they wouldn't believe it. Even if they saw themselves, their hearts didn't want to believe it.

"Oh? Senior Wanyue? Why aren't you with Mister Baili?" Someone saw Lin Wanyue wearing a long face and sharing a Griffin with another female student instead and asked out of curiosity.

This question had clearly stabbed her exactly where it hurt the most, as Lin Wanyue's expression instantly darkened.

She forgot to maintain her own image as she glared fiercely and malevolently at the person who asked the question.

She looked like a venomous snake in hiding. Her eyes were malicious looking and her stare was bone-chilling, causing that person to become so frightened she shrank back.

Lin Wanyue snapped out of it but she wasn't in the mood to deal with that person. She just quietly turned aside to hide her overcast face.

The disgust and murderous feelings she had towards Yun Qingyan went up by another notch.

Yun Qingyan and Baili Qingxue were the first to reach the assembly point in the Forest of No Return. A teacher that was waiting for them here looked a little shocked when he saw Yun Qingyan. After seeing Baili Qingxue behind her, he wasn't surprised anymore.

He was still wondering how a useless bum with no Elemental Power like Yun Qingyan could be the first to reach this place. However, since she had the support of someone as powerful as Baili Qingxue, then it wasn't hard to explain her miraculous arrival.

Since the teacher was still walking over, Yun Qingyan got the Griffin to land. She hopped off the Griffin and used her slim hand to caress the Griffin's large head.

The Griffin snorted loudly as it tamely nuzzled Yun Qingyan's palm and closed its huge beastly eyes in relaxation.

Griffins were naturally an energetic and boisterous Magical Beast that loved excitement. Even though it had been tamed sufficiently to be ridden, it didn't change the personality they were born with. The way Yun Qingyan rode it earlier had completely allowed the Griffin to fully unleash its true nature.

After she had stroked it several times, she looked up with a bright smile at the rather pale-faced Baili Qingxue who had just gotten off the Griffin.

His skin was often described as being a translucent and dazzling white like snow. But now, he was the same white as a piece of paper.

The young lady had eyes filled with malice as her voice spoke as lazily as a cat, and it was very ticklish to hear. "Didn't I tell you not to regret taking the same Griffin as me?"
