Chapter 23: Aileen * Lock

  At this time, Yang Jue showed his classmates a "Soul Summoning Spell" from the Dark System of Magic.

  All of a sudden, in the midst of Yang Jue's strange incantation, a vague shadow appeared out of thin air on the podium. It was faint and indistinct, its facial features completely unclear, but judging from its outline, it indeed had the shape of a person.

  This bizarre scene suddenly made everyone present gasp in unison.

  "Yang Jue, is this the ghost you summoned? Can you really cast dark magic?" someone asked with a quivering voice.

  However, as soon as he finished speaking, the shadow summoned by Yang Jue gradually disappeared.

  Yang Jue smiled and said: "Nothing, really just a little bit."

  When he said this, Yang Jue seemed very relaxed, but the classmates under the podium were looking at him with unbelievable eyes, as if they were looking at a monster.

  "This child is indeed a bit special!" Even their class teacher, Julia, thought it was unbelievable and thought to herself.

  "Classmates, let's welcome our new classmates with warm applause!" Julia led the applause.

  Having witnessed Yang Jue's dark magic system, applause finally came sparsely.

  However, more than half of the people did not applaud. For example, Eugene Dupont from the Dupont family and Donald Ross from the Ross family were also shocked by Yang Jue's dark magic, but afterwards, they had a look of disdain on their faces.

  As soon as Yang Jue sat down in the seat specified by Julia, he was immediately surrounded by various jeers and sneers.

  "Hey, you new kid, in my opinion, that summoning technique of yours is utterly ordinary and has no attacking power at all! Only an idiot would be intimidated by you!" Eugene Dupont from the Dupont family sneered.

  "Exactly! You're just a six-year-old brat, you should be in kindergarten, not sixth grade! Don't worry, we'll make you regret it!" sneered Donna Rose from the Ross family.

  "Tonna's right! You little punk, I bet you won't last a day in sixth grade magic class! Just you wait and see!" Eugene Dupont added.

  "Hehe!"

  ……

  Upon hearing these jeers and taunts, Yang Jue naturally felt angry. However, before he could make any move, a girl sitting behind him suddenly slammed her hand on the desk and stood up.

  "Eugene Dupont! Donna Rose! Can't you two be ashamed of yourselves? You're actually going to bully a new classmate, and one who's only six years old at that! I ask you, are you still men?" The girl said indignantly.

  "Hey, who is this, willing to stand up for herself?" Yang Jue couldn't help but feel curious. Turning his head back, he saw a petite girl with freckles on her face, hands on her hips, glaring at Eugene Dupont and Donna Ross. "Hey, who is this little girl?" Yang Jue realized he didn't recognize the girl at all.

  "Irene Locke! What's it to you? Mind your own business! I'm warning you, you'd better shut up!" Eugene Dupont bellowed at the freckled girl.

  "Aileen Locke? So she's from the Locke family! No wonder she helped me." Yang Jue smiled, "Interesting! I won't speak for now, let's see how she deals with these people."

  "What if I don't shut up? Are you going to do something about it? Hmph! Eugene Dupont! Don't think you're so great! In my eyes, you're nothing but a piece of dog shit... No, you're not even as good as dog shit!" Irene Lock spat out fearlessly.

  "Stinking wench! How dare you insult me?" Eugene Dupont sprang up, his hand raised to strike Eileen Lock.

  And Irene Rock was not to be outdone. At this time, she had already raised her magic wand. "If you dare hit me, I'll let you taste the power of Thunderbolt!" Irene Rock said proudly.

  "Thunderbolt technique?!" Upon hearing the name of the thunder system magic, Eugene Dupont indeed did not dare to make any more rash moves. Among all magics, the thunder system magic has a relatively greater destructive power, and most of the magical apprentices from the Lock family have a better talent for thunder system magic, which seems to be hereditary.

  "Irene Locke! I swear, you'll regret today's events! You just wait!" Eugene Dupont had already decided to bide his time and look for an opportunity to get revenge later, so he said fiercely.

  "Hmph!" Aileen Lock didn't accept such intimidation at all and gave him a cold stare.

  "Yang Jue, don't be afraid, in this class, I will protect you!" Eileen Lock smiled and said to Yang Jue after Eugene Dupont and others left.

  "Scared? What a joke! All I can say is that these arrogant kids are lucky, they haven't really infuriated me yet! Otherwise, I would have made them pay!" Yang Jue said with a straight face.

  While Irene Lock looked at Yang Jue's words, it seemed like he was joking all the time, but she didn't completely ignore what Yang Jue said. Not for anything else, just because her brothers in the family had told her before that this Yang Jue was not ordinary, at least Grandpa attached great importance to him, so her brothers asked her to take good care of Yang Jue and stand on the same line with Yang Jue no matter what.

  So, Erin Lockhart continued along the lines of Yang Jun's words: "Right, right! They're just lucky! Otherwise, even if I didn't do anything, you would have used magic to blow them all to smithereens! Am I right?" Erin Lockhart laughed.

  "It's true." Yang Jue knew that Aileen Locke was flattering him, but he enjoyed it and thought to himself that the people of the Locke family were indeed very good at this. In the future, when there were benefits to be had, he should take care of them more often.

  Soon, the bell rang for class, and the teacher walked into the classroom, starting the lesson.

  For Yang Jue, the sixth-grade magic course was still a bit deep, so he had to listen carefully, and he didn't slack off in class like he did in first grade. Instead, under Eileen's guidance, he began to study the sixth-grade magic course seriously. Fortunately, he had a good learning ability, and these courses were not too difficult for him, so his progress was very rapid. In just a few days, he made up for the knowledge he lacked, which surprised Eileen greatly. "He might really be a genius among geniuses!" Eileen seemed to understand why Grandpa valued this little boy so much.

  In class, with the care of Irene Lock, no one dared to bully Yang Jue, a child at least six years younger than his classmates. However, Yang Jue deeply felt that Eugene Lock and Donna Rose in the class always looked at him with disapproval. From their venomous eyes, Yang Jue guessed that they might have been looking for opportunities to deal with him all along.

  "You bunch of fools! You'd better not stir up trouble at my age! Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't get away with it!" Yang Jue thought to himself.

  Unfortunately, people like Eugene Lock and Donna Ross are blind, seeing Yang Jue as young, they thought Yang Jue was easy to bully.

  And on this very day, they foolishly planned to cross the Thunder Pond.
