"Come on, let's test the results."

Once the scarecrow had calmed down a bit, Li Pu pointed to a tree in the distance, "Use [Small Fireball] to attack there."

The position of this tree was quite tricky, with several other trees in between. There was only a small gap between the trees that could be used to reach the target.

If it were the previous [Small Fireball], there was an 80% chance it would miss, and even if it hit, it would at most char a piece of bark.

[Grass!]

Scarecrow: Watch this, Ben Cao!

The scarecrow responded cheerfully and then started to work its magic.

[Eat groove, eat groove, eat groove...]

Currently, it wasn't very proficient with this skill, so it took some time to activate it each time.

[Eat groove!]

Finally, the scarecrow pushed its hands forward, and a small fireball flew out.

Pop~

This small fireball was indeed different from before; it had grown slightly larger.

Moreover, it now had a pair of flame-like wings, flapping with a soft "whoosh" sound.

[Grass Grass!]

The scarecrow, noticing the difference, became excited again.

Especially with this newly added control feature, it couldn't get enough of it and commanded the small fireball to circle around itself.

"Not bad, not bad."

For now, Li Pu was quite satisfied with this control effect.

Next, it was time to check the speed and power.

[Grass!]

Scarecrow: Summoner, if Ben Cao is too far away, will it lose control?

The scarecrow expressed its worry.

"Makes sense, try this."

Li Pu nodded and then made a demonstration, putting his hands together to form a sword gesture, placing them on his temples.

In truth, he didn't really understand, but he had seen in movies that this was how those with psychic control abilities activated their powers.

[Grass!]

The scarecrow imitated the gesture, but since it didn't have fingers, it used its fists.

And since it didn't have a brain, its imitation was far from accurate.

It pressed its two fists against its cheeks.

And because it pressed too hard, even its voice changed.

[Noisy!]

Scarecrow: Summoner, Ben Cao is going!

Whoosh!

With its shout, the small fireball flapped its wings and flew out.

"It indeed has strengthened."

Seeing this, Li Pu nodded again.

The small fireball's speed visibly increased; before, it was slow to activate and slow in speed.

With its current speed, at least against an opponent like that fire cricket, hitting it shouldn't be too difficult.

And because the wings provided thrust, its trajectory wasn't straight.

On the contrary, it added some agility, making it more confusing to opponents.

However, since it was the scarecrow's first time using it, there were still many shortcomings in technique.

Boom!

Ultimately, it couldn't reach the target; the small fireball hit a tree trunk and exploded.

Clearly, from F rank to E+ rank, the skill's power also increased.

The tree immediately caught fire, and the flames were considerable.

[Grass Grass Grass!]

Scarecrow: Summoner, Xiangxiang's little brother's relative is on fire!

Seeing this, the scarecrow exclaimed in shock.

"It's okay, with me here."

Putting out the fire, Li Pu wasn't afraid at all.

He rushed over, stomping frantically on the burning spot.

Crunch... Boom!

As a result, the watermelon-sized tree was broken in a few stomps, but the fire still hadn't gone out.

[Grass Grass!]

Scarecrow: Summoner, you're too cruel! You killed Xiangxiang's relative!

"It's okay, with me here."

Li Pu repeated, then took out a bucket of cola.

[NONO Grass!]

Scarecrow: Summoner! No!!!

...

After resolving the fire hazard and becoming a campus hero, Li Pu returned to the dorm with the crying scarecrow.

After the arena match, the formal classes would begin, so he planned to take a good rest for a few days.

After all, two weeks of continuous battles, both body and mind were quite exhausted.

In the cubic card world, he could replace rest, but the cardhouse's cubic pod wasn't a bed, and lying down for too long made him uncomfortable.

Having pulled an all-nighter in the southern forest and participated in the arena match during the day, he was quite fatigued.

Especially after the excitement of the summoned creature acquiring a new skill subsided, the feeling of exhaustion gradually intensified.

Dragging his tired body, Li Pu opened the dorm door.

And then... a surprising scene unfolded.

"Hello, new roommate."

[Rustle Rustle!]

Unexpectedly, in his dorm, there was Wu Guinan and... a small tree person?

"What's going on?"

Looking around the dorm, there were already many personal belongings that didn't belong to him.

After some conversation with Wu Guinan, Li Pu finally figured out the situation.

He didn't know how Wu Guinan managed it, but he was allowed to move into this dorm.

Originally, Li Pu lived alone, quite comfortably.

He was resistant to Wu Guinan's arrival.

But Wu Guinan took on all the cleaning work, so Li Pu reluctantly accepted.

Speaking of which, Wu Guinan had chosen the combat department, and the head teacher was Director Bai.

He mentioned that last time, he got scolded by his family for choosing Li Fan's [Quick Run], so he didn't dare to follow Li Pu in choosing Guan Heshi this time.

Li Pu could understand Wu Guinan's behavior.

The problem was... the small tree person.

Firstly, he didn't know why this guy could enter the school instead of being killed by the Gatekeeper, and how it found his dorm and stayed there waiting.

The most absurd part was that the small tree person explained everything with a single action.

This guy... pulled out a student ID.

The photo on the student ID was of the small tree person itself, and the name was also Small Tree Person.

Li Pu was originally the last student to enroll, so he was assigned to this dorm, and it was reasonable for the later-assigned Small Tree Person to be placed here as well.

It's not uncommon for different species to attend school or integrate into Federation Society.

After all, the distinction between magical beasts and different species is somewhat blurred.

With this, Li Pu couldn't determine whether the small tree person was a magical beast or a different species.

But at least one thing was certain: it was a kind creature, though ugly, timid, cowardly, useless, and kind.

Fortunately, Wu Guinan stood out to explain that the small tree person was his grandfather's pet.

It turned out that after it matured, the small tree person no longer needed to survive in the wild.

Transferring it to the campus would be safer.

As for why it was enrolled in school, Wu Guinan wasn't sure, saying maybe his grandfather had grown attached and wanted the small tree person to have a complete tree life.

Why there was a tea leaf magical beast tree in the southern forest was finally answered by Li Pu.

It wasn't by chance, but someone deliberately released it.

However, he still felt puzzled, as a complete tree life for the small tree person should mean being buried in soil and being fertilized and de-bugged every day, right?

Forcing it to attend school, is it really for its own good?

After some exchanges, he found that this guy had indeed become a bit smarter.

But not to the extent of being able to attend school; at most, its intelligence had increased from a child's seven or eight years old to eight or nine years old.

Moreover, Wu Guinan's grandfather turned out to be the president of Xidu University, which surprised Li Pu greatly.

One thing after another made things a bit chaotic.

So he simply ignored it, washed up, tidied up, and went to bed.

As long as the scarecrow and the rolling turtle took the small tree person wherever they wanted and didn't disturb his rest, that was enough.

However, Li Pu would never have expected that the first time these three guys gathered together, they caused trouble.
