《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 109: Teacher Die's Personal Lecture
Advertisement
"Old Su, are you really not… having a fever?"
Liu Ren glanced at Reverie Butterfly, then at Su Hao.
He secretly sighed.
Butterfly God was too miserable.
It was totally screwed over by its own Sprite Trainer.
He was different, he never dared to cheat his Master Tortoise.
But seeing that there was a chance to defeat Su Hao and Butterfly God, Liu Ren immediately agreed. His smile gradually became excited.
Looking at the excited (crossed out) and stunned faces, Su Hao felt that they were just too inexperienced.
It was too much of a fuss.
After participating in a battle at the elite level and witnessing the killing power of an extraordinary-level sprite…
When he returned to the entry-level battle, Su Hao lost interest.
Of course, he had to increase the difficulty.
Otherwise… how could the little fellow possibly improve?
Su Hao crossed his arms in front of his chest, looked at Liu Ren and the others, and said, "Do you think you've already won?"
"Out of the fifteen of you, only three are entry-level sprites. I'm not being naggy, but if you're not serious, you may lose very badly."
Of course.
Apart from the Lava Tortoise, the Ascetic Dog, and the Spirit Spring.
There were also a few sprites that were at the entry-level limit, and the rest had spiritual force value above 110. They had mastered at least three unique skills, and their destructive power was not weak.
In a one-on-one battle, they would be easily defeated by entry-level sprites.
But 1+1+1+1+1…+1 was never as simple as being equal to 15.
Besides, Liu Ren and the others were very familiar with each other, they wouldn't be weak in teamwork.
It was also a threat to Reverie Butterfly.
"But if there is no threat, why would I let Reverie Butterfly fight?"
Reverie Butterfly:??? (Did you ask for my opinion? o(▼皿▼メ;)o~!)
...
A 1vs15 battle couldn't be limited to a small battle stage.
Su Hao stood in the audience seats on the left.
Liu Ren and the others went to the audience seats on the right.
Looking at the sprites on the field.
Reverie Butterfly flew alone.
The fifteen sprites parted in an upside-down "V" manner.
Spirit Spring, which was good at long-range attacks, stood in the center, furthest from the Reverie Butterfly.
As for the Lava Tortoise and the Ascetic Dog, they were divided into two corners.

"Su Hao is underestimating us. Today, I, Liu Ren, is going to defeat Butterfly God and reach the peak of my life!"
After all, winning a group fight was also considered victory.
As a future powerhouse, we don't look at the process, we look at the results.
Liu Ren said, "Our strategy is very simple. My Lava Tortoise and Songting's Ascetic Dog will work together to hold back the Reverie Butterfly. You will command your sprites to use their most proficient unique skill."
"Don't be afraid of accidentally injuring yourself! It's impossible to win against Butterfly God without paying a price!"
"Besides, whether it's the Lava Tortoise or the Ascetic Dog, they are more resistant than Reverie Butterfly. We are definitely going to win this battle!"
Because it was time for school to end, the gatekeeper was already off work. There was no judge.
Su Hao made an agreement with Liu Ren and the others to use the coin toss to determine the starting time.
He touched his wallet and finally found a dollar coin.
Holding the coin with his index finger and thumb, he threw it up forcefully.
Wind blew past.
The coin flew in the air, attracting countless gazes.
Reverie Butterfly's big eyes were filled with the color of the coin.
Finally…
Bang—
The sound of landing was not loud.
But the sprites acted in an instant, following the tactics that had been discussed beforehand.
The Ascetic Dog charged forward first.
The Lava Tortoise also walked forward step by step with its big feet.
The Reverie Butterfly spat out a thread. It was its specialty String Shot. The end of the thread stuck to…
That coin!
Su Hao was puzzled.
Then, he saw the silk thread pull and withdraw. Soon, the coin was lifted up and landed in Dream Butterfly's small hand.
At this moment…
Ascetic Dog was already approaching. Its palm formed a fist, and circles of bright yellow light gathered on its fist.
Unique skill: Energy Storing Fist!
The shadow of a fist flashed past.
Bang!!!
A gust of wind blew past.
Reverie Butterfly dodged to the side.
"As expected."
Liu Ren touched his overlapping double chin.
On the field, the Ascetic Dog didn't care about squandering spiritual force at all. With a punch, it forced the Reverie Butterfly into one direction.

Together with the Lava Tortoise, they surrounded it.
"Now…" Liu Ren saw the light of victory.
The sprite at the back displayed a unique skill that it had charged for a long time.
Water Dragon Roll!
Granule Machine Gun!
Seed Grenade!
Earth Spike!
Rock Throw!
Spray Flames!
Golden Light Slash!
...
Countless unique skills came attacking. They were of all colors and exuded killing intent, almost sealing off all space to dodge.
The Lava Tortoise and the Ascetic Dog were also enveloped in the attack range.
With a focused look, Reverie Butterfly flapped its wings slightly and flew out in a spiral pattern, leaving afterimages behind.
Rumble~!
Flames, damage from explosions, and broken rocks landed on the Lava Tortoise and the Ascetic Dog
The two sprites endured the pain, but they didn't care.
They opened their eyes and searched for the figure of Reverie Butterfly.
Soon, their faces turned into confused looks.
"???"
What was happening?
Aren't you aiming at the Reverie Butterfly?
Why was it unharmed even though we were covered in wounds?
After two rounds…
The Ascetic Dog, with limited meat power, fell first. The dog's face was still full of confusion, doubt and grief from being stabbed in the back.
The Lava Tortoise was slightly better.
After all, it was real meat.
But without the Ascetic Dog's cooperation, it was quickly thrown off by the Reverie Butterfly.
Tiny figures weaved through the rain of bullets.
It moved left and right, occasionally throwing two Energy Balls at the sprites such as Spirit Spring.
In just a short few dozen seconds.
Sprites fell one after another.
The wounded Lava Tortoise was reaped in the end.
At this point, Reverie Butterfly was holding a shiny silver coin in its hand.
It's me, gurgle~!
...
Liu Ren was stunned.
Why, why was this happening?
Be it the Blue Water Frog in the morning, or the dozen or so sprites now, they were clearly in a very confident situation, but why did they still lose?
Su Hao was also a little disappointed.
He had overestimated the sprites of Liu Ren and the others.
He had underestimated Reverie Butterfly again.
"The training at the Valley of Sighs and the Profound Truths of Wind Control have already increased the little guy's dodging value to 560. With its extraordinary perception, when stacked together, it can easily surpass gods."
There was no way to train today. The recovery of sprites needed time.
But a great victory at 1VS15 was still meaningful.
Look.
The chance of Reverie Butterfly winning against the fifteen sprites was very low, but it still won.
The odds of An City First High winning against Yang City High School was also very low, so…
Liu Ren and the others kept feeling that something was wrong.
But no one would refuse Great God Su's guidance.
...
"Granule Machine Gun emphasizes speed and accuracy."
"The left abdomen of the Golden-armored Strongman is its weakness. It needs to be trained heavily."
"Little Stone Elephant needs to be more steady when it Charges. Otherwise, it will fall before it can send others flying…"
Su Hao pointed out the flaws of the sprites one by one.
Of course, he was a human after all, and he had never experienced the usage of unique skills, so he couldn't explain it in too much detail. At this moment, the ability of Reverie Butterfly was displayed.
Teacher Die conducted a lecture personally.
All the sprites understood and nodded continuously.
Su Hao actually understood these sprites better than their Sprite Trainers.
Lava Tortoise, Ascetic Dog, Spirit Spring… and the other four sprites' cultivation plans were all proposed by him.
After seeing Liu Ren's sprite improve at lightning speed, Gu Lingyao abandoned her mid-level Sprite Cultivator uncle and switched over to Su Hao… ahem, she turned to Su Hao for advice.
It wasn't that the other students didn't trust his plan.
They were all students with ordinary family backgrounds. Although Su Hao didn't give them a full set of plans, he wasn't stingy with giving them cultivation methods and training methods to make up for their sprites' defects, and so on.
Apart from giving pointers, he also provided training.
Water Spirit Foal shot Water Balls to train their dodging abilities.
Fighting close-quarter combat with Flaming Cloud Crow trained their close-combat abilities.
They also aimed and fired at the Reverie Butterfly, training their hitting ability.
At the same time when the Lava Tortoise and the other sprites were improving rapidly, the Reverie Butterfly, Flaming Cloud Crow and Water Spirit Foal also benefited greatly — they usually couldn't find that many sparring partners.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
Yang City High School was on their way here.

So I'm a cat, what now?
It seems I've reincarnated into a fantasy world as a cat. What now? This is my first publically published story, and I would love feedback in any form as I have no idea how well the quality of my writing holds up. This story will have light litRPG elements, though I won't dig into numbers much, since I don't enjoy fiddling with them. The tone will be generally light, and I willl probably try to throw some comedy in there as well. The beginning will be Slice of Life, and unless I come up with a longer plot that I like it will stay that way.
