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

Chapter 2 The Failed Knight, But the Dark Angel

"Monarch-level!?"

"Yes, that's my assessment task."

Leng Qing was shocked. "The Parthenon Silver Moon Knight's assessment actually requires fighting against a monarch-level opponent? Are you already a super-class mage?"

Of course not, that's the assessment for promotion to Gold Knight.

Mu Ningwei shook his head, "I'm only 21 years old, and still at the high level."

A high-ranking official defeating a monarch—isn't that even more astonishing?

Leng Qing didn't ask any more questions, as doing so might be seen as prying into secrets.

"Thank you for your help. I am Leng Qing. This is my contact information. The reward will be transferred to your card later."

Mu Ning was surprised.

Leng Qing, Leng Lingling's older sister?

I didn't expect to run into an "acquaintance" as soon as I returned to China.

Mu Ningwei is a transmigrator who was reborn into the world of full-time mage and became the child of a high-ranking couple in the Mu family.

Later, he encountered a demonic disaster and lost both his parents.

At the time, Wen Tai was dating Ye Chang when he happened to pass through the country, rescued Mu Ningwei, and saw that Mu Ningwei's soul strength was extraordinary, so he took him as his disciple.

After discussing it with the Mu family, Mu Ningwei went to Parthenon with Wen Tai to further his studies, becoming Asha Ruya's childhood sweetheart and also Ye Xinxia's older brother.

Mu Ningwei wanted to change Wen Tai's future, but unfortunately Wen Tai wanted to die and went to the dark plane to stop the shadows from encroaching on the human world.

Mu Ningwei not only failed to change this plot, but instead became Wen Tai's backup plan and Wen Tai's dark angel.

At the same time, before Wen Tai died, he actually tried to let Mu Ningwei contain his soul.

Although he failed, at the moment his soul entered her body, Mu Ningwei established a connection with Athena, the mother goddess to whom Parthenon's faith pointed.

By using the power of faith, you can chat with that gentle older sister who is hundreds of years old.

If it weren't for the unexpected events that occurred after the Golden Knight assessment some time ago, Mu Ningwei might have stayed in Parthenon.

Once he breaks through to the Super Rank, he will confront the Eight Hidden Clans, annihilate the evil women of the Black Pepper Court, seize power as the Holy Son, help Asha Ruya become a goddess, and aim to dominate the world.

However, Mu Ningwei has now chosen to return to China to develop his career.

"Leng Qing? You're the senior disciple of the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds!"

Mu Nujiao was surprised. As a scion of a powerful family, understanding the various forces was a must. She admired the strong woman Leng Qing very much, but she never expected to meet her in person here.

Mu Ningwei walked up to the woman without a spirit, and pure light elements flowed from his hand, flowing into her mouth like spiritual liquid.

Normal light has a restraining effect on dark types.

Mu Ningwei's light system, blessed by Athena's kiss, is also able to restrain all evil spirits and temptations.

The woman quickly regained her senses and looked at Mu Ningwei gratefully:

"Thank you so much, Venerable Master, for saving my life!"

A wisp of spiritual energy, imperceptible to ordinary people, flowed from between the woman's eyebrows and was absorbed by Mu Ningwei.

When the woman is being controlled, she can sense the outside world and knows that she is about to be sucked blood by the demon. In her utter despair, the dark cross controls the demon, and Mu Ningwei saves her.

Therefore, the woman was sincerely grateful to Mu Ningwei, which gave birth to faith and transformed into a trace of divine power of faith.

This is a valuable item; if you collect enough, you can become a god, that is, an emperor.

However, Mu Ningwei treated the power of faith as a phone bill to see Athena. After all, every time he saw Athena, he would receive huge benefits, which was much more comfortable than painstakingly accumulating faith to become a god.

Mu Ningwei smiled and said, "Madam, you are safe."

"Master, my name is Liu Xian, and I'm a third-year university student. I will definitely repay your kindness if I have the opportunity in the future!"

Liu Xian, Liu Ru's older sister?

Are you being targeted by vampires right now?

What kind of innate blood-sucking holy body is this?

Mu Ningwei smiled and said, "It's good that you're safe and sound."

Liu Xian was extremely grateful.

"Leng Qing, let's go back first."

Mu Ningwei said goodbye, and the two sisters, still excitedly discussing what had just happened, returned to bed. Suddenly, they sensed something and looked out the window.

In the darkness of the night, a pair of alluring, blood-red eyes watched the two sisters with great interest.

As a high-level shadow mage, Mu Ningwei already possessed night vision. His eyes were slightly cold as he stared out the window at a classical European beauty with large, curvaceous, and mature vampire wings spread wide.

Neither Mu Nujiao nor Leng Qing upstairs noticed this woman!

The Marquis opened her ample arms:

"Ning Weiqing, Asha Ruya is blind to your worth, choosing an old woman who caused you to fail the Golden Knight exam. Why don't you join us?"

"If Ning Weiqing wishes, this Marquis has a way to make you a Marquis as well."

Mu Ningwei withdrew his gaze and chose to ignore it.

The Marquis noticed the dark threads appearing beside her, covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her figure disappearing into the night like water.

……

The next day.

Mu Ningwei finished his meditation, got up, washed up, ate breakfast, and accompanied the two women to look at apartments.

Mu Nujiao still had to study at Mingzhu Academy, so she eventually chose to live in a luxury apartment next to the academy.

"Brother Ningwei, I have a friend, also a student at Mingzhu Academy, named Ai Tutu, the little princess of the Ai family in the North. She wants to share an apartment with us, is that alright?"

Mu Ningwei shook his head. "I'm a boy. If word gets out, it won't do good for the Ai family's reputation. She shouldn't be short of money; she can live next door."

"Okay, I'll tell her."

Mu Nuxin said, "Brother Ningwei, Father said that after the house is rented, he wants you to come over. He has something to say to you."

"Then I'll go see the head of the family. You can have lunch."

……

A pavilion in the lake behind the herdsman's house.

Mu Zhanxing was a robust young old man. He was very talkative and played two games of chess with Mu Ningwei, winning one and losing one. He said happily:

"You've been abroad for so many years, and you even know how to play chess?"

"I play games with my friends when I'm bored. I've taught her to play Chinese chess and Go."

Mu Zhanxing nodded. "Uncle has already heard about the Golden Knight assessment. Hmph, the Saintess of Parthenon is blind. I'm angry for you. You actually gave up your Golden Knight position for a mere exchange of benefits."

"It's good that you're back! Your family back home supports you unconditionally!"

Mu Ningwei smiled faintly, "Let bygones be bygones."

Perhaps he was too good to Asha'sa, which gave her the wrong impression that she wanted to win over other Gold Knights. So she decided to wrong him and let her side support another examinee.

Indeed, this would allow Asha's Ruya to win over the Golden Knight, but why is she so certain that he won't be angry and will still support her?

Mu Ningwei felt that Asha Ruya had become a stranger, and his kindness to her seemed to be taken for granted.

Mu Ningwei didn't say anything to her. Instead, he withdrew from the competition. Later, he let go of the vampire marquis who was the assessment target, resigned from his position, and bought a plane ticket back to his country.

Wen Tai is dead, Ye Chang ran away, and Ye Xinxia disappeared.

Asha's changed too.

What else is there about Parthenon that makes him want to stay?

At the airport, many people were trying to persuade Mu Ningwei to stay, but Asha Ruya was the only one who didn't come.

Perhaps she was angry, or perhaps she was secretly wiping away tears at home; in any case, she missed her last chance to apologize.

She was even inferior to the Marquis, who had followed him to Shenzhou and repeatedly invited him to join the vampire clan, offering him the condition of having the same Marquis bloodline as herself.

Mu Zhanxing placed several magical artifacts and a magnificent gem of light on the table, slammed his hand on the table, and shouted:

"From today onwards, you are the first in line for training in our Mu family. Although our Mu family cannot compare to Parthenon, we will give you the best."

"High-level magical artifacts, even the Star Sea Celestial Vein—Uncle started preparing them when you called to say you wanted to return home, and now we've got them all!"

Mu Ningwei accepted it, and seeing Mu Zhanxing's happy expression, he felt somewhat emotional.

"Uncle Mu, is there anything I can do for the family? Please feel free to ask."
