Versatile Mage: I have a proficiency panel

Chapter 46: Imperial Capital, the Beginning of the National Government

Bai Jue strolled through the Imperial Capital Academy. The drizzle had stopped, and the old trees that had been suppressed by frost for several months in the winter were now blooming. The fragrance was refreshing and could be smelled in the streets and alleys.

The warm climate is slowly returning, and the vegetation that has survived the winter seems to have experienced a small nirvana, becoming more vibrant and the trees and flowers more brilliant.

"It's really troublesome when you're not familiar with the place." Bai Jue sighed. He had already walked around here twice and finally found the dean's office.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door, and Dean Songhe, who was sorting documents, looked up and said, "Come in."

"Excuse me, is this Dean Songhe? My name is Bai Jue. I am a student from the Ancient Capital Academy who came here to participate in the selection for the National Academy Competition. Someone told me that the results of the previous class were not ideal, so they asked me to take charge of this class."

...............

More than half a year had passed since the ancient capital's undead catastrophe, and Mo Fan had finally broken free from his comfortable life.

When I arrived at the imperial capital again, the air was as bad as ever. The sky was covered with gray-brown stuff, and there was no blue sky or white clouds to be seen.

However, Mo Fan was an optimistic person. He was about to start his wonderful journey of sowing seeds around the world. When he thought about traveling around the world, looking for secret places, trampling on foreign superior dogs, and flirting with exotic girls, Mo Fan couldn't help but whistle as he walked on the road to the government office.

Arriving at the designated gathering place, Mo Fan immediately saw five elderly mages with dark faces at the entrance of the competition venue.

One of the instructors, a short, fat man with a big belly, glared at Mo Fan, who was carrying a shoulder bag, and said unfriendlyly, "You are the substitute Mo Fan!"

“Well, I shouldn’t be late, right?” Mo Fan was a little confused by his mentor’s attitude. As for the substitute, he didn’t take it seriously. After all, he was not selected.

"Hmph." The instructor snorted coldly and didn't give him a good look, signaling him to return to the team quickly.

After walking a few steps, Mo Fan saw some familiar faces, which surprised him.

“Fuck, Old Bai, why are you here?” Mo Fan avoided the blond young man who pounced on him and walked towards Bai Jue who was pretending to be asleep.

"I was asked to do this by someone else, and I also have some things of my own to do." Bai Jue smiled.

“Oh my god, Mo Fan, what about the relationship between us? Are you just ignoring me like this?” Zhao Manyan was stunned.

“Old Bai and I are close friends. You are far from that. But that’s great. We actually got you a spot.” Mo Fan patted Zhao Manyan on the shoulder. He was indeed quite surprised.

Then someone sneered, "What's so good about that? A person who relied on the wealth of his family to bribe countless people to get the vote is no different from a backdoor substitute like you."

Bai Jue watched the verbal battle with great interest. He was a little curious about Mo Fan's sarcastic nature.

"Everyone is here." The mentor with tiger-head patterns walked over slowly, glancing at the fourteen people.

There are a total of fourteen people in the team, ten official members and four substitute members. The substitutes are Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Mu Ningxue, and Li Kaifeng who was squeezed out by Bai Jue.

"Your ultimate goal is to participate in the International Water City National Competition, which is also the World Academy Competition. This experience in various countries is not only to hope that you can have more practical experience and magical experience, but also because you need to obtain an admission ticket to the International Water City National Competition. There are nearly two hundred countries in the world participating in this competition, and not every country is qualified to appear in the International Water City arena..." Feng Li said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

The five mentors told them what to say and asked everyone to take notes carefully. There was no grand farewell ceremony, and even the time when the team of this national government competition that everyone was paying attention to would really embark on the road of training was unknown, and who exactly they were was also completely unknown. This was the case for any country. Only when the International Water City Competition ceremony opened would these players truly be shown to the world!

…………

The sky is green and the water is long...

On the continuous coastal rocks, you can see the white waves splashing happily, either the turbulent waves hitting the shore, or the light touch teasing the rocks.

There is a small beach next to the rugged rocks, with a few fishermen's wooden boats floating on it, relatively simple and ancient ones.

These wooden boats are extremely important for the well-off fishing village. The food and clothing of several families depend on them. The waves here are sometimes particularly unruly, forcing them to tie the boat ropes over and over again!

Mo Fan's complaints echoed throughout the sea. He raged at the sky and others, "As a government team, they don't give us a dime of funding. We don't have a dedicated plane, a private car, or a hotel. They even froze all of our bank cards. That's enough, but they directly banned us from taking a plane. What does that mean? To go to Japan, they want us to swim over here?"

We were asked to come to this remote little fishing village, and we thought a luxury cruise ship was coming to pick us up, singing, drinking, and dancing across the ocean to Japan. But after waiting for a whole day, we saw those wooden boats still floating on the shore!
Taking a wooden boat across the sea, what a joke!

There’s not even a paddle!

The identities of this group of people have been frozen. Now the more developed means of transportation in the country require ID cards. Now this group of people is equivalent to a gangster. It is best to avoid the police in whatever they do. They are really going to be investigated. They have to ask someone from the government to collect it, and once they do this, they will be considered a failure.

The consequences of failure in the training are very serious, because the National Government Team is actually not just their team, there are other backup teams. Once their team fails in the training, someone from the backup team will take over.

Therefore, there will definitely be replacements in this team.

"Mediocre people just know how to complain." Jiang Shaoxu, the girl with beauty mole, smiled, looking like she was out of touch with worldly affairs.

This woman likes to laugh very much, and her every move and every move will reveal her charm and enchantment, which is always welcome, but her words also carry an air of celestialism that disdains everything.

When she says, you mediocre people, she often means you mortals...

"This in itself is a test for us. The superiors prohibit us from flying, and we are not allowed to use our background and identity to use any means of transportation. But we are mages, so there is nothing we can do to avoid being thrown into a small fishing village..."

"So, how do we get to Japan?" Mo Fan asked.

"Just take a boat. Where there is a fishing village, there will be a larger port. Where there is a larger port, there will be ships going to Japan. If I remember correctly, this should be the place where our country's ships and Japan often communicate..." Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile.

“By the way, where is our captain Bai Jue?” Zhao Manyan suddenly asked.

Yes, it seems that I haven’t seen him since I came here…

　Due to some personal reasons, the following chapters up to Chapter 63 are boring like a diary. You can just take a quick glance to understand the plot. I am sorry for reducing the reading experience.

　　The problems that arise will be corrected, and I hope everyone can actively help me point out the mistakes.

　　拜谢
