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

Chapter 28: The World-Famous Painting "Why Did Asha Lose?" (Bonus Chapter!)

Zhu Meng burst out laughing. "You actually believe that? A 21-year-old capturing a monarch? Do you think he's some kind of super-level mage?!"

"I guess Parthenon is just making empty boasts about their genius."

Luo Mian frowned. "This information came from within Parthenon, so it has some credibility."

Zhu Meng shook his head and chuckled, "Alright, alright, let's just say it's true. That Mu Ningwei captured a monarch alive, and then what? I remember the new Golden Knight is a female mage, did she capture two monarchs alive?"

"This...it is said that the new Golden Knight's achievement is killing a commander who has advanced to the next level."

Zhu Meng laughed loudly, "Is Parthenon blind? He let Mu Ningwei, who captured the monarch alive, fail the test, but let an old woman with little potential and a poor track record pass the test."

Luo Mian remained silent.

Zhu Meng continued, "To put it another way, if Mu Ningwei really had that kind of strength, how old would he be? The higher-ups at Parthenon must be brain-dead to allow him to withdraw and return to China safely."

"If this were in our Palace Museum, wouldn't Chief Pang Lai immediately designate him as the next Chief? Even if he doesn't have a granddaughter of his own, he would still introduce his good friend's granddaughter to Mu Ningwei, completely binding him to the Palace Museum."

Luo Mian: "My friend said that Asha's first saintess of Parthenon, the one who has the loyalty of the Knight Lord, is suspected to be in a romantic relationship with Mu Ningwei."

Zhu Meng was speechless. "What? Did Asha'erya break up with such a monstrous genius? And then Mu Ning, a mere high-level mage, managed to keep Hailong and the others in check, preventing those powerful figures from forcibly keeping him here?"

"Are you writing a novel? How could something this absurd possibly happen in real life?"

"Parthenon is definitely exaggerating. Don't we also hype up a few flashy geniuses, putting them on the surface to cover up the real geniuses?"

Luo Mian was speechless this time.

He planned to go back and confront his friend, demanding to know if he had lied to him.

Having prepared the questioning techniques, I simply relayed Zhu Meng's words verbatim.

……

The Parthenon.

The Saintess's Palace, reception room.

"Holy Maiden, something has happened."

Hailong sighed.

Asha'ruya asked wearily, "Uncle Hailong, what's wrong now?"

Hailong was also puzzled. "There was a Silver Moon Knight who received a phone call, and somehow he went crazy after returning. He publicly berated you for being blind, which angered Ning Wei, and then he immediately went to Pamishi."

Asha's trembling with anger.

"It's been half a year! That incident happened more than half a year ago!"

"Is there any point in keeping harping on this like this?"

"I apologize to everyone, I have done that; I also kept my promise to bring Ning Wei back."

"Why are you still using that incident to attack me!"

Asha's eyes reddened, and she clenched her fists:

"Ningwei! Ningwei! Ningwei! Ningwei! I've done so much in the past six months, have they all been blind?!"

Hailong was startled, not expecting Asha's reaction to be so strong.

Before Hailong could say anything...

Asaria calmed down, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and immediately said, "I'd appreciate it if Uncle Hailong could intervene and quell the unrest caused by the Knights' Hall. I will go to the Knights' Hall tomorrow to offer my condolences again."

Hailong asked worriedly, "Holy Maiden, are you really alright?"

Asha's apologetic voice said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Hailong. I lost my composure. I've been under a lot of pressure lately, but I'll try to adjust."

Hailong: "I brought the situation under control immediately. Holy Maiden, why don't you rest for a few days?"

"It's alright, thank you for your concern, Uncle Hailong."

After a brief hesitation, Hailong sighed inwardly and left the Temple of the Holy Maiden.

Asha'ruya sat on the wolf-skin sofa, her eyes downcast, hugging her knees and curling up into a ball.

"Ning Wei, I really can't hold on any longer, please come back..."

A moment later, Asharuya gritted her teeth.

"I'm not that weak. I can live a good life without you!"

"If they're not coming back, they're not coming back. Who cares!"

Asha'ruya stood up, stormed into the bedroom, lay down on the soft, spacious white bed, and hugged her pillow tightly.

Her two long, slender legs were pressed tightly together under her buttocks, and her eyes were filled with anger.

"Ning Wei is a bastard, a complete bastard!"

She slammed her fist hard on the cushion. After a long while, Asha's body was covered in sweat, and she collapsed onto the cushion, panting heavily, her face sinking into the soft cushion.

"Huff~ Huff~ Huff~"

"You bastard Ning Wei, I'll prove to you that I can live just as well without you!"

Asha Ruya did not want to bring Mu Ningwei back.

At least not until she defeats Pames and takes control of Parthenon.

She will climb to the top of Parthenon and then bring Mu Ningwei back.

When the time comes, he can be a Gold Knight if he wants, or a Temple Master if he wants.

Whatever Mu Ningwei wanted—status, resources, property, subordinates—it didn't matter.

Asha Ruya will give it to you.

……

Hangzhou University's Grand Hall.

"I won, next one."

The beautiful woman with long, straight black hair remained expressionless as she untied the cage from the Kunzhi Forest and released the boy who had suffocated and fainted inside.

Tens of thousands of teachers and students were speechless, gazing at the aloof beauty on the stage with anger, amazement, and longing.

The referee takes away the loser, and a new challenger steps onto the stage.

"It's Zhao Yuyu, the top student in the Fire Academy! Fire is super effective against plant-type. With her taking action, she'll definitely defeat Mu Nujiao!"

"That's right, this Mu Nujiao is too arrogant. She actually dared to challenge our Hangzhou Academy. Senior Zhao, teach her a lesson!"

Zhao Yuyu, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a revealing outfit, said earnestly:

"Mu Nujiao, you just defeated 38 people, and your magic energy is greatly depleted. I'll give you time to recover and let's have a fair fight."

Mu Nujiao waved her hand, "No need, I hope you can bring me some fun in battle."

She was challenging the competition to make a name for herself.

This would facilitate Mu Zhanxing's operations and help her obtain votes to participate in the Nationalist government's struggle.

Mu Ningwei will participate in the struggle for the National Government, and she cannot fall behind.

Zhao Yuyu's face darkened. "How arrogant! Let me teach you a lesson!"

She has mastered both fire and earth magic at the mid-level, and with the addition of spirit seeds, she has nothing to fear from a plant mage.

"Battle begins!"

Mu Nujiao used the Kun Forest technique, but Zhao Yuyu unleashed her spiritual fire, burning the vines to ashes, and smiled triumphantly.

"I'll give in to your plant-based nature, so just accept your fate!"

Mu Nujiao revealed a hint of fighting spirit. "Not bad, it's time for me to get serious. Go, False Demon of Terror."

The plant-based star map shone brightly, and countless black vines erupted, covering half of the arena and attacking Zhao Yuyu from all directions like a tidal wave!

Zhao Yuyu's expression changed drastically, "A great general!"

Mu Nujiao chuckled softly, constructing a wind-based star map beneath her.

Zhao Yuyu was fighting the fake demon with all her might and was powerless to free her hands. She could only watch helplessly as a vortex formed around her.

We lost...

Zhao Yuyu was dejected, never expecting that none of the thirty-odd classmates had managed to satisfy Mu Nujiao.

Just as she was about to accept defeat, the wind disc beside her suddenly dissipated, and the false demon also disappeared.

Zhao Yuyu was stunned as she watched Mu Nujiao run off the stage.

"Hey, what are you doing! I haven't given up yet, and if you run off the stage, all my hard-earned winning streak will be wiped out!"

Without turning her head, ignoring Zhao Yuyu's shouts, Mu Nujiao jumped off the stage and ran excitedly to a handsome man, proudly putting her hands on her hips:

"Brother Ningwei, what brings you here? Did I look handsome just now?!"

Mu Ningwei sighed helplessly, "Weren't you going to challenge the dojo? What are you doing here?"

Mu Nujiao smiled brightly, "Votes are nothing compared to Brother Ning Wei. Are you done with your business?"

Zhao Yuyu stared in astonishment at Mu Nujiao, who was obedient and charming in front of Mu Ningwei.

Is this still the same aloof goddess who overwhelmed Hangzhou's academic institutions and defeated dozens of geniuses from the main campus?
