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

Chapter 176 I am Qin Yu'er

Dongfang Lie felt he had been too happy too soon.

After the match began, Dongfang Lie planned to seize the initiative and interrupt Nan Jue's magic release with a level 4 fire attack.

However, he underestimated Nan Jue's true strength.

Nan Jue instantly unleashed a basic sound-based spell, creating a chaotic and disruptive sound wave.

Dongfang Lie felt as if his brain exploded, as if hundreds or thousands of teachers were rubbing the blackboard with hateful, sharp chalk, pouring the tooth-grinding noise into his brain. He lay on the ground gagging, almost vomiting.

After a long while, Dongfang Lie realized that he was in a competition, and his performance in front of Mu Ningwei was enough to determine whether he could be selected for the National Team.

Dongfang Lie suppressed his nausea and stared intently at Nan Jue, tracing the star trails—

"Sound Strings - Disturbance".

Nan Jue raised his hand and released a sound wave.

"Ugh!!"

The demonic voice from the East pierced his ears, causing him to clutch his head and scream in agony, before collapsing to the ground and retching violently.

Nan Jue shouted, "Is that all? You're like a girl, you'll never make it into the National Team."

Damn, I'm so angry!

"If you're so capable, then let me use magic."

"So what if I let you use your magic?"

Nan Jue crossed her arms. "Your magic is as girly as you are; it can't hurt me at all."

Dongfang Lie gritted his teeth and drew a fierce fist!

Nan Jue indeed did not use sound magic to interrupt, and while Dongfang Lie was relieved, he also felt insulted.

"How dare you look down on me like that...?"

"I'll make you pay for this!"

"Fierce Fist - Nine Palaces!"

Dongfang Lie slammed his fist into the ground, causing the arena to tremble violently. Huge pillars of magma rose from the ground and hurtled towards Nan Jue.

"Is this level four magic? Its power is indeed different."

Nan Jue looked somewhat surprised, then gently connected to the water-based star orbit, applied several layers of water defense to himself, and was then swallowed by the magma.

Dongfang Lie sneered.

Nan Jue has three magic systems and is a high-level mage, which was within Dongfang Lie's expectations.

But she only used water to protect herself before being swallowed by the lava?

His Fierce Fist is a mid-level fourth-grade magic, amplified by a spirit seed; only high-level magic can stop it!

Nan Jue is so arrogant; he is bound to lose.

He won this match!

Next, you will join the National Team, become a high-level mage, be selected as a main player or even become the vice-captain, be highly regarded by Instructor Ning Wei, become a rising star in the family, reach the pinnacle of life, and marry the clan's young lady!

Dongfang Lie stood tall and looked at Mu Ningwei on the high platform, full of anticipation.

However, Mu Ningwei did not look at him, his eyes were fixed on the magma pillar, and he chatted with Dean Xiao with a smile.

This relaxed and carefree attitude made Dongfang Lie feel uneasy.

"The power of the Fierce Fist is not bad."

Inside the magma column, flowing water light breaks through the lava.

Nan Jue emerged from the multi-layered water shield, somewhat regretfully remarking, "Although I have good natural talent, I am ultimately only a mid-level mage. If I had used the Heavenly Flame Funeral, it might have been more interesting."

Dongfang Lie felt like he had shattered.

Someone actually used a basic-level spell to block his level four Fierce Fist!?

How is that possible!

How is this possible?!

This isn't magic!!!

Nan Jue looked at the stunned Dongfang Lie, "Are you feeling discouraged? It seems your mentality isn't suited to the National Team."

Dongfang Lie gritted his teeth and drew his Fierce Fist once again.

"I refuse to believe it!"

Nan Jue nodded slightly, acknowledging Dongfang Lie's ambition, and stood still, letting Dongfang Lie attack.

Normally, even if she fused with a soul seed, her initial-level water defense wouldn't be able to withstand a level four spirit seed's fierce punch.

But who gave her the domain?

The water elemental field is concentrated and spread out over a ten-meter radius. The power of fire magic is greatly reduced as soon as it enters. However, if several layers of water defense are laid out, it can still block it.

Therefore, Nan Jue did not move an inch until Dongfang Lie had exhausted his magical energy.

Dongfang Lie's Dao Heart shattered on the spot, his expression turned ashen, his back hunched, and his eyes lifeless.

Nan Jue walked over lightly. "Hey, you're already upset?"

Dongfang Lie smiled wryly, "Senior, you're really amazing. You must be the captain of the National Team."

"The captain is Mu Nujiao, I'm not qualified."

"That must be the vice-captain?"

"No, not exactly."

Nan Jue readily admitted, "My skill level is probably in the upper-middle range of the team, around fifth or sixth place. If I perform well, I can compete for fourth place."

Dongfang Lie exclaimed in disbelief, "You guys... you're all this strong!?"

"It turns out that I've been looking down on things all along. I'm not a genius at all, just an ordinary person. I was arrogant and delusional, trying to squeeze into a place that didn't belong to me."

Nan Jue tilted her head. "We owe our current strength entirely to the guidance of Instructor Ning Wei. You're quite good; it just depends on whether Instructor Ning Wei will favor you."

"If the mentor chooses you, I believe you can also possess my abilities."

"real?"

Dongfang Lie's eyes lit up with admiration as he looked at Nan Jue. "Senior, do I really still have a chance? Can I really be as amazing as you?"

Nan Jue said confidently, "If it's Professor Ning Wei, then it's definitely possible."

Dongfang Lie looked expectantly at Mu Ningwei on the high platform.

Never before had he felt that this person of his age was so tall and imposing, even more so than the patriarch of the Dongfang family.

……

"Ning Wei, aren't the students you brought a bit too powerful?"

Dean Xiao became restless upon seeing Nan Jue unleash his domain.

With a domain as his own, who can defeat Nan Jue?

Mu Ningwei smiled and said, "It's alright. Nan Jue is one of the hardest working students I have. I just gave her a few opportunities, and she seized them all. It's normal for her to have her current strength."

"There are a few more powerful ones in the team that I didn't bring along."

Dean Xiao glanced sideways.

What a Versailles! Is he showing off here?

Dean Xiao had been boasting to other old guys about how the academy had produced Mu Ningwei and Mu Nujiao, but now that the boomerang had hit him, he accepted it.

"Looks like the entire National Pavilion team is going to be wiped out~"

Just as Dean Xiao said, even if the guards fought Nan Jue in a series of battles, Nan Jue would still defeat them all.

Even if it weren't a series of attacks, but rather the entire guarding team swarming in.

If Nan Jue defeats them, he might consume less magical energy.

Dean Xiao shook his head, looking at the disheartened state of the guards. "Instructor Ning Wei, Instructor Yu'er, do you have any students you'd like to take a look at?"

A cool voice came from beneath Qin Yu'er's veil, "Teacher Ning Wei's meaning is my meaning."

Dean Xiao glanced sideways.

Good heavens, so the rumors that Mu Ningwei held absolute power in the National Team were actually true?

Mu Ningwei stroked his chin lightly. "Dean Xiao, to be honest, I'm a little dissatisfied. I heard from Bai Tingting that there's another genius at Pearl Academy named Ding Yumin. Why didn't she participate?"

"Yu Mian, she..."

Dean Xiao hesitated for a moment, "She is not suitable to participate in the Venetian Competition."

Mu Ningwei blocked the sound from getting out and chuckled, "Is it because she's a victim?"

Dean Xiao was shocked. "How...how did you know?!"

"Since you know that, you should understand why I don't want Yu Mian to participate."

"Sigh, have you heard about Qin Yu'er, the ice-type calamity victim from the third generation before that?"

Mu Ningwei nodded, his smile strange. "Of course I've heard of it."

Qin Yu'er's eyes flashed back in reminiscence, "Back then, Qin Yu'er was imprisoned by the Holy City. Speaker Shao Zheng was unable to persuade the Holy City, which led to Qin Yu'er being frozen in the Heavenly Mountain."

Dean Xiao chuckled, "Instructor Yu'er knows so much! I didn't even know Qin Yu'er was frozen in the Tianshan Mountains... Wait a minute!"

"Teacher Yu'er... Qin Yu'er..."

Qin Yu'er removed her veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful face that could bring ruin to a nation:

"That's right, I am the person involved, Qin Yu'er."

Mu Ningwei smiled wryly. "Dean Xiao, how do you feel about being caught gossiping about someone behind their back?"

Dean Xiao: "...!"
