Full-Time Magister: The Failed Knight, But the Dark Angel

Chapter 104 Ning Wei's Decision on the National Government Team

Mu Ningwei said, "Nu Jiao already has four votes; she just needs to go through the motions to participate in the selection. As the mentor, I will have the final vote in the selection of the National Team members."

"Unfortunately, only Nujiao in the clan is capable of shouldering such a great responsibility."

Mu Zhanxing chuckled, "I'm already secretly delighted that the clan has produced you and Nujiao and Nuxin. Alright, our Grand Instructor Ning Wei, pack your things and embark on your journey to the National Palace."

Mu Ningwei took his leave and waited for Mu Nujiao to emerge from her arduous training at the Three Steps Tower. After having dinner with Mu Nuxin, Fei Yi, and others to celebrate, they flew to the capital.

……

early morning.

A thick smog shrouded the capital, dimming the warm sunlight that shone through the early winter chill, making the air heavy and cool.

Feng Li, sporting his signature tiger head tattoo, walked into the magnificent fighting hall in the heart of the Imperial Capital's academic center.

The arena is shaped like a six-pointed star, covered by a black, four-arched dome, with crystal chandeliers casting bright light.

Surrounding the main arena are spacious seating areas that can accommodate 50,000 people.

"Dean Zu, I never expected that you would need this grand arena for just the National Government selection."

On the mentor review panel, the newly appointed Dean Zu, a kind old man, smiled upon hearing this and said:

"This year's competition has several promising talents who have already broken through to the advanced level, and only this arena is enough to keep those little guys busy."

"Hahaha."

Feng Li looked at the room next door in surprise, "Chief Pang Lai and Commander Lin? The instructors from the Magic Association and Junfang, are they really the two of them?"

Pang Lai and Lin Junsi exchanged a glance and smiled at each other:

"Feng Li, don't tell me you don't know who we're here for."

Feng Li shrugged. "I didn't expect that making Mu Ningwei a mentor would attract two such distinguished guests."

Pang Lai stroked his beard, gesturing towards the entrance:

"Look, our Light of China has arrived."

The mentors looked over.

A handsome man walked side by side with a cool, aloof beauty with long, straight black hair.

The mentors secretly remarked that they were a perfect match.

Mu Ningwei greeted them with a smile, "Senior Feng Li, Dean Zu, Senior Pang Lai, Senior Lin."

"Nu Jiao, you also call me senior."

"it is good."

The shepherd girl called out sweetly.

Dean Zu praised Mu Nujiao a few times and said, "Speaking of Mu Ningwei, I have to thank you for my position as dean."

Feng Li and Pang Lai laughed heartily, while Lin Junsi's laughter seemed somewhat forced.

While Mu Ningwei and Feng Li were chatting and laughing, the time for the meeting arrived.

The chosen talents from all over the country, holding the votes, stood obediently in the center of the arena, waiting for the battle for the National Government to begin.

They recognized the five mentors on the judging panel, were shocked by the heavyweight of this year's mentor team, and looked on with admiration at the exceptionally young Mu Ningwei.

No one felt that Mu Ningwei was unworthy to sit on the judging panel and be their mentor.

That's the most sought-after "Light of China" in the country!

Countries around the world have jointly submitted an application to ban this unparalleled prodigy from the competition!

It is said that during the catastrophe in the ancient capital, Mu Ningwei led a group of people and killed six of the eight fallen emperors.

Those are six Great Monarchs!

With such an impressive record, who would dare to disagree?

"Alright, everyone's here."

Chief mentor Feng Li stood up and looked at the prodigies from all over the country:

"Stand at attention. Mu Nujiao, Ai Jiangtu, step forward!"

Mu Nujiao stood proudly in front of the judges' panel, her beautiful figure attracting many eyes.

Ai Jiangtu's skin was tanned dark, and he looked somewhat honest, but his walk exuded a fierce and tough aura.

Feng Li: "Both of you are geniuses who hold four votes each, and you can be directly selected for the National Team."

"You'll have a competition later to decide who will be the captain and vice-captain."

"Yes." "Yes."

Feng Li: "Alright, the rest of you, those whose names are called, come up on stage for a duel. The winner takes the loser's vote, and the winner continues until they have three votes to qualify."

"Just a heads-up, besides winning, your performance will determine whether you can ultimately join the National Team."

Mu Ning beckoned to Mu Nujiao, pulled over a chair, and blatantly granted her special privileges and favors.

Seeing this, others were incredibly envious of Mu Nujiao for having such a good brother as Mu Ningwei, and many proud young women wished they could take his place.

……

The exchange ended quickly.

Mu Ningwei and Mu Nujiao watched the performances of the geniuses from various places for a while, occasionally offering their comments in hushed tones.

High-level mages like Mu Ningxue and Mo Fan are extremely rare; most competition is among mid-level mages who have reached the maximum level of cultivation.

The competition ended, leaving behind thirteen geniuses.

The mentors will vote to select ten main team members. After removing Mu Nujiao and Ai Jiangtu, there are only eight positions left.

Feng Li shouted:

"Nan Rongni and Bai Tingting, step forward!"

Beside Mu Ningxue, Nan Rongni whispered something to her, her gentle face showing a hint of worry. She came to the judges' table and nervously looked at the mentors.

Mu Ningwei met her gaze, and Nan Rongni smiled gently.

Mu Ningwei remembered that Nan Rongni was a scheming woman who approached Mu Ningxue to harm her, but she couldn't tell from her appearance at all; she would only think that Mu Ningxue was a weak and cute young girl.

Turning my gaze to the side, I saw Bai Tingting's youthful face and eager eyes looking over at the familiar thunder.

Feng Li said:

"The team needs a healing mage. You two have healing abilities, so we can directly select one of you to be the main player."

"Now, please let the professors vote."

Nan Rongni was secretly delighted.

In her opinion, as a representative of the Nanrong family and possessing such a rare magic skill as the Blessing system, her mentor would definitely choose her.

Even in terms of relationships, she was Mu Ningxue's best friend, and Mu Ningxue could talk to Mu Ningwei.

Nan Rongni has already secured Mu Ningwei's vote!

"I choose Bai Tingting."

Mu Ning made his choice decisively.

Nan Rongni's expression stiffened, and then she saw:

"I choose Bai Tingting."

"Me too."

"Let's go with Bai Tingting."

"Can."

Feng Li smiled and said, "Congratulations, Bai Tingting, on becoming the healing mage of the National Team."

"Thank you, Professor Ning Wei, and thank you to all the professors!"

Bai Tingting looked at Mu Ningwei with surprise and gratitude, then ran to Mu Nujiao's side, to the position of a regular team member.

Nan Rongni stared at Mu Ningwei stiffly and pitifully, her heart filled with confusion.

Could the intelligence be false?

Mu Ningxue and Mu Ning only have hatred between them.

That wretched Mu Ningxue, you deserve to die!

Feng Li said, "Nan Rongni, you should go back. This is a selection for healing sorcerers, and you still have a normal voting opportunity."

"Yes, mentor."

Nan Rongni returned dejectedly, and Mu Ningxue couldn't help but comfort her in a low voice.

Nan Rongni resisted the urge to punch Mu Ningxue in the face and instead showed a touched expression.

Mu Ning looked at Feng Li and the others with some surprise.

He knew Nan Rong Ni's true colors, so voting for Bai Tingting was perfectly normal.

Feng Li and the others, unaware of the truth, should have voted for Nan Rongni.

Feng Li Chao Mu Ningwei smiled, and then said:

"Nan Jue, step forward."

A tall, slender young woman with short hair, long legs, and a neutral, cool demeanor stepped forward.

"Nan Jue, a genius selected by Jun Fang, has mastered both the intermediate and advanced levels of the sound and water systems."

"Please choose whether or not to vote."

Mu Ningwei said, "I vote."

Feng Li and the other three immediately said, "I'll vote."

"Nan Jue has five votes. Please wait for the final vote count."

Nan Jue was pleasantly surprised and looked at Mu Ningwei with a hint of astonishment. "Thank you, mentors."

The other contestants also looked at Mu Ningwei, their gazes changing.

It seems that as long as Mu Ningwei votes, the other mentors will follow suit.

It turns out that Mu Ningwei has the most influence among the mentors!

Immediately, the contestants looked at Mu Ningwei with eagerness and nervousness.

Mu Ningwei felt the kind gazes of the four mentors, returned their smiles, and seemed to be deep in thought.

It seems his reputation is even greater than imagined, to the point that he can decide the roster of the National Team players with a single word.

So, what's next...?

It's about choosing students who catch your eye.
