I Only Know Forbidden Spells - Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Painful Training, 20 Kilometers

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
A distance of five kilometers.
It was neither too long nor too short.
In half an hour’s time, many students had completed their training using magic.
However, there were still many students who had not learned auxiliary magic and were still running with their heads down.
They were drenched in sweat, and large drops of sweat dripped down from their foreheads as they panted heavily.
Lin An was also feeling very uncomfortable at this moment, and he felt that he could not breathe.
His physique wasn’t much better to begin with, yet he still had to run such a long distance. It was practically taking his own life.
What made Lin An feel the most despair was that others only needed to run 5 kilometers, while he needed to run 20 kilometers.
Although Susanna would cast a light spell on him from time to time, the light spell could only temporarily relieve his fatigue. The burden on his body was still there.
After enjoying a moment of comfort, he would start to feel pain again.
This was simply torturing himself repeatedly.
There was a good saying. If one had never seen light, who would be afraid of darkness?
Right now, Lin An had just seen light, and he fell into darkness. The mental pressure was even greater as he kept going back and forth.
Lin An, who was really unable to take it, said to Susanna, “Susanna, don’t waste your magic energy. I can hold on.”
However, Susanna only smiled slightly and said, “It’s okay. My magic energy can still hold on. It’s only right for classmates to help each other.”
Hearing Susanna’s words, Lin An didn’t know what to say.
After all, Susanna had good intentions. It was difficult for him to reject her.
Lin An could only bury his head in his running.
Soon, not long after, each and every student completed the five kilometers of training and gathered at Sophia’s place.
Susanna had just stopped when she saw Lin An continuing to run.
Immediately, Susanna shouted at Lin An, “Lin An, the five kilometers have been completed. There’s no need to run anymore.”
However, Lin An did not stop. Instead, he turned around and shouted, “I want to continue training!”
After saying that, Lin An quickened his pace and left the place, afraid that Susanna would do him another favor to relieve his fatigue.
At this moment, many of the students looked at Lin An, their eyes revealing astonishment.
“It can’t be! Someone really took this training seriously?”
“A magic sorcerer training his body is just for kids. Who would believe it?”
“Stop spouting nonsense. Maybe Lin An really wants to train. I heard that Lin An’s family is relatively poor, so his family sold their house to come to school.”
“I really don’t understand. A supreme-level genius with elemental affinity actually wants to train so hard?”
“Perhaps… This is a genius.”
While the students were discussing in private, Sophia, who was at the side, couldn’t help but look at Lin An with admiration when she saw that he had chosen to continue training.
Everyone had chosen to give up on training their bodies, but Lin An was able to persevere in his training. This made Susanna think highly of Lin An.
With such a powerful talent for cultivation and the fact that he was able to work so hard, he would definitely be able to surpass everyone in the future.
If Lin An knew what Susanna was thinking, he would definitely feel very wronged.
Who would want to run 20 kilometers with all their might?
If it wasn’t for the system’s mission, Lin An wouldn’t have been so desperate.
However, Lin An had no choice but to go all out. After all, he needed points to buy meditation spells and forbidden spells.
Otherwise, when he really needed to display his strength, others would immediately notice that something was wrong.
After all, it was very difficult to hide one’s innate magic power.
If he cultivated for a semester, he would definitely be exposed if he was only at the beginner-level of the sorcerer apprentice realm.
For a genius with supreme-level elemental affinity to cultivate so slowly, everyone would think that there was something wrong with Lin An.
Only by obtaining a forbidden spell-level meditation technique could his cultivation speed increase.
Therefore, Lin An could only go all out and try his best to disguise himself as a genius.
He was a freak who relied on the system.
…
The sun slowly set.
The other students had already returned to their dormitories to rest.
And on the training ground, there was a figure running forward with heavy steps.
This person was Lin An.
For more than an hour, Lin An didn’t stop running. His entire body was soaked in sweat, making him look extremely pathetic.
At the edge of the training ground, Sophia was still standing there looking at Lin An. It was as if she hadn’t moved at all from the beginning until now.
Her beautiful figure made many horny boys approach her, but Sophia ignored them.
“It’s almost 20 kilometers, but he’s still persisting,” Sophia muttered.
From her high opinion of Lin An before, Sophia was already very impressed by him now.
A person who had never received such intense training was actually able to complete such intense training. An ordinary person couldn’t do it at all.
Moreover, Sophia could feel that Lin An’s physical strength had long been exhausted, and he was now completely relying on his own willpower to persevere.
“Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. The reward is 5000 points.”
Finally, the system’s voice sounded.
Lin An seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed onto the ground.
“This 20 kilometers is really not something that a human can run down,” Lin An ridiculed.
His entire body was in unbearable pain.
At this moment, Sophia walked to Lin An’s side.
Seeing Sophia, Lin An was stunned for a moment and said, “Teacher Sophia, you didn’t leave?”
Lin An originally thought that Sophia had left a long time ago.
Sophia didn’t say anything. She stretched out her hand and covered Lin An’s head with her palm.
Instantly, Lin An felt a gust of cold air spread from his head to his entire body, making Lin An involuntarily shiver.
When the chill disappeared, Lin An suddenly realized that his body didn’t feel any pain at all, as if all his fatigue had been cleared away.
“Thank you, Teacher Sophia.”
Lin An said as he looked at Sophia, who looked to be the same age as him.
Sophia said coldly, “Mm, you did well today.”
After saying that, Sophia left very coldly.
Looking at Sophia’s back, Lin An was very touched.
This Sophia looked very cold on the surface, but she was still kind on the inside.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stayed here to protect him so late and even used magic to help him recover.
After Sophia left, Lin An also stood up and went back to his dorm.
Although this day was tiring for Lin An, it allowed him to gain 6,000 points.
This was enough to make Lin An excited.
If this continued, it wouldn’t be long before he could accumulate enough points to exchange for forbidden spells.
