Full-time Mage: Heavy Water Returns to the World

Black smoke billowed out.

With Bai Mei's double spellcasting suddenly intensifying the offensive pace, even the Healing Spirit and Star Rune could no longer keep up with the defensive rhythm.

Once a disadvantage emerges, it will collapse like a dam bursting, leaving the entire army utterly defeated!
The deadlock that had lasted for so long was completely broken in just over ten seconds.

Finally, Rice couldn't withstand another fierce punch from Bai Mei and was sent flying backward, flying over the heads of the Greeks and landing heavily next to a stone pillar further back.

Fortunately, Xiu Lu was there to sustain Rice, and the physical condition of a high-level mage had undergone a transformation; otherwise, it might not have been as simple as just being covered in dust.

For a moment, the entire room fell silent.

Lost
Unexpectedly, Rice lost.

This is not simply a matter of Rice losing; it means that Rice and Xiu Lu together lost to Bai Mei and Nan Yi's Shui Yu.

Nan Yi didn't release even a single extra spell. What was even more despairing was that every time he saw the azure water shield being pierced by lightning, just when he thought he had successfully broken through the defense, the water shield would automatically revert back to its original state.

The entire battle was almost a repetition of this process, as if they were being deliberately toyed with.

wrong.

Suddenly, someone realized what was happening.

"Shit! They're deliberately messing with us!"

Yes, if the Water Defense was so easily penetrated, why was it able to help Bai Mei withstand attacks from both sides at the beginning, but its defensive capabilities weakened when Bai Mei and Rice were fighting one-on-one? Isn't this just playing around?
Upon hearing this, many people gradually came to their senses, and their eyes instantly filled with dissatisfaction and resentment.

I always thought China was a land of etiquette, quite different from the arrogant and domineering people like the United States. I never expected them to humiliate a team guarding the embassy like this!
The voices of discontent grew louder, but the next second, Hashir spoke up.

"Have you forgotten the teachings of the officials? Always remain humble and do not make unfounded speculations."

Hashir's voice instantly silenced everyone. The reputation of the Golden Knight was still extremely useful. Even though there were many noble families present, the Golden Knight alone was enough to rival the entire families of many of them.

However, there are still many who are not convinced, but they just don't dare to show it.

Hashir seemed to understand what everyone was thinking and continued, "Let's end this battle here. There's no need to continue."

"Why! We still have people here!"

Some people disagreed, but Hashir ignored them for the time being and looked at the Chinese girl in the field. She was covered in wounds and scabs, but her eyes were still bright, as if there was an inextinguishable fire in them. Her chest rose and fell, and her delicate body was straight.

Hashir couldn't help but show his appreciation and said, "Miss Bai Mei, you win. This badge is yours."

As he spoke, a badge, under Hashir's control, landed silently in Bai Mei's slightly trembling hand. Clearly, she had not yet recovered from the intense battle just now, and at the same time, Bai Mei also showed a trace of confusion.

Is this a win?

Seeing this, Hashir smiled and explained.

"The result of continuing to fight will be the same. The remaining people are not worth sparring with at all. I believe the maid in charge of guarding the gym does not want to treat more people either."

Hashir made no attempt to hide anything, and everyone heard him clearly.

What does Lord Hashir mean? What do you mean by having absolutely no value as a sparring partner?
Sparring partners? These people have become sparring partners?
If anyone else had said this, they certainly wouldn't have believed it, but it was Hashir who said it, so how could they not believe it? Hashir was a Gold Knight under the three Grand Masters of the Knights' Hall, a newly risen Gold Knight in recent years, whose strength and honor were obvious to all.

Only then did they realize why Hashir had scolded them for their complaints and ended the battle of guarding the museum prematurely. It turned out that Lord Hashir had already seen through it.

For a moment, many people blushed.

They, the proud sons of Greece, if not invincible among their peers, were certainly rare talents, yet they had all become sparring partners for that charming yet resilient girl in the center of the arena.

No, only Rice, who has been blessed by Xiu Lu, is qualified to be a sparring partner. Others are not even qualified to be sparring partners!
In the arena, Hashir looked at Nan Yi behind Bai Mei with a curious expression and said, "It's a pity we can't see you make a move."

“Venice will have a chance,” Nan Yi replied politely.

Hashir smiled and shook his head, looking at Nan Yi.

"But I feel like they probably can't see your true strength either. My intuition tells me that you don't seem to be afraid of me."

As he spoke the second half of the sentence, a faint hint of fighting spirit suddenly appeared in Hashir's eyes.

"Lord Hashir is a Gold Knight, a being who has long since entered the Super-Rank. How could I, a high-rank mage, possibly defeat him?"

Upon hearing this, Hashir burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahahaha, even if they wanted to fight, they couldn't. Golden Knights aren't allowed to act on their own. However, you have excellent judgment. Miss Bai Mei is exceptional in both personality and talent. It's a pity she's not Greek, alas."

Bai Mei, who was mentioned to the side, didn't show any expression, but she tightened her grip on the badge, while Nan Yi shook his head.

"I'm not the one with good judgment. Besides, everything Bai Mei has achieved is the result of her own hard work. Someone else might not be able to do the same."

What Nan Yi said is true.

Bai Mei was recommended by her senior sister Bai Zijin. Although Bai Mei is her senior sister's younger sister, her senior sister has never been one to openly show favoritism. However, as Bai Mei's older sister, she knows Bai Mei well enough to know that Bai Mei is capable, which is why she chose Bai Mei.

Later, Bai Mei was able to obtain the Soul Seed blessed by Zhu Rong in Fenrir's Land of No Life or Death through sheer willpower, which was something she earned herself. Song Zhizhi, who also carried out that mission, did not have such a great reward. Of course, there was also a difference in magic types involved. As a fire mage with exceptional talent, Bai Mei was more likely to gain Zhu Rong's favor, but her indomitable will was the key.

Hashir did not stay long before leaving. As a Gold Knight, he was naturally busy with many affairs, and his ability to temporarily act as referee was already a great courtesy to him.

The Greek tournament officials had not yet arrived; only a few teachers of low rank were present and could not make any decisions. They could only have the maids heal each contestant's injuries before speaking.

"Lord Dou had a mission this morning and should be back by noon. You've all come all this way to Parthenon, so if you're not in a hurry, why not take your time to explore Parthenon? It's a place that ordinary people can't get into," a teacher said enthusiastically.

Judging from his attire, he was not a knight of the Parthenon, but perhaps a member of the Greek government.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, teacher," Nan Yi said gratefully.

Although it doesn't matter whether I get the badge or not, since I'm already here, a little more time won't make a difference, and Nan Yi will still go through all the proper etiquette.

Just as the teacher was about to leave with the five Chinese students, a clear, cold female voice rang out.

“Professor Anthony, let me show the guests from China around.”
