Full-Time Magister: One System, One Forbidden Spell, the Strongest Divine Gift

Chapter 37 Beset by Calamities, the Legendary Battlefield?
Dongfang Lie was being pointed at by several students from the capital city not far away, their faces bearing a faint, disdainful smile.

Dongfang Lie clenched his fist, his knuckles turning slightly white.

As the pride of the Fire Academy of Mingzhu Academy, when had he ever been treated so coldly? From the moment he stepped into the gates of the Imperial Capital Academy, those subtle scrutinizing gazes felt like knives scraping his face.

"Hey, look over there!" A student from Beijing deliberately raised his voice. "People from Mingzhu actually dare to come here?"

His companion scoffed, "I still vividly remember the scene last year when Chief Zhou single-handedly crushed the entire team."

Bai Qian frowned.
These whispered rumors, like venomous snakes, slithered into her ears, causing her delicate face to stiffen slightly.

Even Ding Yumin, who is usually gentle, had a cold look in her eyes at this moment.

Chen Yuan, however, seemed not to have heard anything and was looking with great interest at the statue of the first principal in the center of the Imperial Capital Academy.

He only slowly turned his head when a student from the capital city "accidentally" bumped into his shoulder.

"Sorry," the student said, but his eyes were full of provocation, "Didn't you see there was someone else here?"

The air solidified instantly.

Dongfang Lie could already feel the fire nebula stirring within his body, but then he saw Chen Yuan suddenly smile.

"Ha, he walked right into the line of fire, so he can't blame me."

He glanced coldly at the student from the capital, the calamity mark on his fingertips flashing silently.

"Judging from your tone, could you be the team leader from Pearl Academy?"

The students from the capital city looked at Chen Yuan with disdain, completely unaware that misfortune was already befalling them.

Suddenly, he chuckled and said, "He does have a handsome face. It seems Mingzhu really has no one else to rely on, so they sent a pretty face to fill the void."

"You guy!"

Dongfang Lie's forehead veins bulged, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and his fire magic energy was almost uncontrollably overflowing from his body.

Just before he was about to explode, a slender hand gently pressed on his shoulder.

"No rush." ​​Chen Yuan's voice was somewhat lazy, but it instantly calmed Dongfang Lie down.

His fingertips seemed to brush lightly across the direction of the student from the capital, a wisp of dark mist vanishing in the sunlight in an instant. "It would only dirty my hands to deal with someone like this."

"Calamity will teach him a lesson." Chen Yuan slowly turned around and left with Ding Yumin: "What does it mean to have trouble coming from the mouth?"

Dongfang Lie and Bai Qian swallowed hard in unison.

They are all too familiar with this situation.

Whenever Chen Yuan spoke in such a terrifyingly gentle tone, it meant that someone was about to be in big trouble.

Those reckless guys who provoked us at the Qingdao campus last time are still receiving psychological treatment in the hospital.

In the distance, the student from the capital who was still shouting suddenly slipped and fell flat on his face. Someone in the crowd couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"How dare you curse me?!"

The student from the capital city scrambled to his feet, his face flushed crimson. The shame and indignation of being humiliated in front of everyone caused him to completely lose his temper. A surge of azure energy suddenly rose around him, and a wind-based star map instantly formed beneath his feet.

"Wind Rail·Flash Step!"

His figure blurred into a streak as he hurtled towards Chen Yuan.

The students from the capital city who were watching even cheered a few times. On their own turf, when had they ever seen anyone dare to be so arrogant?

"Stop!" Instructor Lu Yiming's shout came a step too late.

A sinister smug look appeared on the student's face: "Don't worry, teacher, I'll teach them the rules of Mingzhu right away."

Before the words were even finished, a chilling cracking sound suddenly came from above everyone's heads. The three-meter-tall statue of the first principal at the school gate had snapped in half without warning, the massive granite statue crashing down towards the students' charging trajectory!
"What the hell?!"

The student looked up abruptly, his pupils contracting sharply.

He instinctively tried to change direction by maneuvering the wind, but was horrified to find that his magic trajectory seemed to be forcibly corrected by some force. He was trying to dodge sideways, but his body was uncontrollably accelerating in a straight line!
"boom--!!!"

Amidst the stunned gazes of hundreds, the student, as if deliberately throwing himself into the arms of the collapsing stone statue, crashed precisely into it. Amidst the billowing dust, only a muffled thud and the crisp sound of bones breaking echoed.

The whole square was silent.

"Fool."

Dongfang Lie and the others burst into laughter upon seeing this. "So this is all the students from the Imperial Capital Academy are like? They can't even handle basic magic properly. It seems the Imperial Capital Academy has no one left and needs such lousy fish to save face."

Bai Qian covered her mouth and chuckled softly, but her voice was just loud enough for everyone around to hear: "Oh dear, maybe she's planning to perform a 'head-grabbing stone' trick~"

The Mingzhu team members burst into laughter.

Even the lightning mage, who usually had a cold face, clapped: "Brilliant! This is the first time I've seen a 'walking into a trap' move like this!"

Professor Lu Yiming's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He glared fiercely at the unconscious student in the smoke and dust, then looked at Chen Yuan, who always wore a smile, with suspicion and uncertainty, and couldn't help but think to himself:

"This guy is weird."

Little did he know that it was precisely this one sentence that would bring him calamity.
And the other side.

Ding Yumin gently tugged at Chen Yuan's sleeve and led him to a secluded corridor.

The dappled shadows of the trees fell between them. Her clear eyes looked directly at him, and her voice was very low: "When did you awaken your curse ability?"

As a mind-based mage, she was completely unaware of any magical energy fluctuations.

This completely defies the laws of magic.

Chen Yuan leaned against a pillar, coins twirling between his fingers.

He suddenly smiled and leaned close to her ear: "Guess?"

Ding Yumin felt a burning sensation on the tip of her ear and hurriedly took a half step back, but unexpectedly tripped and fell backward.

In this moment of lightning and fire -

"Be careful."

A clear, cold voice suddenly interrupted.

Ding Yumin felt a pair of cool little hands supporting her waist, and when she turned her head, she met a pair of icy blue eyes.

The silver-haired girl had appeared three steps away, her hair gleaming with a metallic sheen in the sunlight.

"Ning Xue?"

Chen Yuan's fingertips trembled slightly, and for the first time ever, he couldn't catch the coin properly; it rolled to the ground with a "clink."
He stood frozen in place, a rare sight, his pupils slightly contracting, as if he had seen something incredible.

Ding Yumin keenly sensed the unusual atmosphere. Chen Yuan, who was always calm and composed, and who remained unfazed even when facing high-level demons, seemed to have been put on pause.

Mu Ningxue blinked her icy blue eyes, but the look vanished in an instant.

She bent down to pick up the coin, the frost on her fingertips leaving a thin layer of mist on the surface of the copper coin: "What's wrong?"

"."
