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

Chapter 4 My Beloved Sister

Boom boom boom!

"Dean Xiao, I've brought Brother Ning Wei with me."

"Please come in."

"Hello, Dean Xiao."

"Haha, hello, you must be Mu Ningwei. No need to be so polite, please sit down. Mu Nujiao, please sit down too."

Sitting across from Dean Xiao at the desk, Mu Ningwei sized him up.

Dean Xiao looked a bit older than Mu Zhanxing. He was tall and thin, wearing a neatly pressed blue robe. He had clear eyes and a cheerful smile, giving people a friendly feeling.

He was also sizing up Mu Ningwei.

He was in his early twenties with a youthful and handsome face. Although he was wearing a plain white shirt and black capri pants, he subconsciously straightened his back and placed his hands on the armrests of the chair after sitting down, giving people a serious and respectful feeling.

"You're a great young man. When I heard about your achievements, I was quite surprised, especially when you killed the Blue Star Giant and saved half the city's lives. You truly deserve the title of 'Knight of Eternal Darkness'."

The mule was overjoyed, her face beaming with pride.

The one being praised is her Ning Wei!

Mu Ningwei felt somewhat embarrassed.

This cringeworthy nickname sounds alright in a foreign language, but in Chinese it's enough to make him want to dig his toes into the ground.

"Now he's nothing more than a 'failed knight'."

Dean Xiao shook his head and extended his palm. "Justice resides in the hearts of the people. I should thank Parthenon for sending such an outstanding child like you to me."

"Mu Ningwei, on behalf of Pearl Academy, I welcome you to join us!"

Mu Ningwei grasped the hand extended by the forbidden spell master, felt the importance attached to him, and smiled, "Greetings, Dean. I will be your student from now on."

"Haha, a student like you is one in a million. I have to show my appreciation. How about I give you seven days to cultivate in the Three-Step Pagoda?"

Mu Nujiao was surprised, yet felt it was perfectly natural.

They'd fight tooth and nail to get a single day at the Three Steps Tower in the Qing Campus, and even then, it all depended on whether the university actually gave out the opportunity.

Mu Ningwei had just joined the academy and immediately received the Three-Step Tower for 7 days. If word got out, countless people would be envious.

But this is what Mu Ningwei deserves!

His talent and ability deserve even more attention.

"Thank you, Dean. I appreciate your attention."

Dean Xiao asked, "There's an upcoming assessment for students from the Qing Campus to enter the main campus, specifically the one involving Mu Nujiao. Do you plan to participate, or go directly to the main campus?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ningwei understood that Dean Xiao was doing him another favor.

He participated in the assessment at the Qing Campus, which was blatant bullying, and managed to get all the rewards. It would be very easy for him to promote Mu Nujiao.

"Mu Nujiao, what do you think?"

Mu Nujiao was taken aback. Why should she be the one to decide?

Mu Ningwei smiled and said, "If I participate in the Qing Campus assessment, I can guarantee that you will be number one and receive the highest reward, which will definitely include the Three-Step Tower."

Mu Nujiao was overjoyed, "That's wonderful! But..."

"Oh?"

Mu Nujiao shook her head firmly, "Brother Ning Wei's time is precious, and I don't want you to waste your time protecting me from first place."

"Besides, I'm also very capable. I want to get a ranking based on my own strength. Even if I don't get first place, I can accept it."

"I appreciate Ning Wei's kindness, and I'll cook for you today to thank you."

Mu Ningwei's eyes showed satisfaction, and his fondness for his cousin increased. "Keep it up."

Dean Xiao clapped his hands. "Very good, Mu Nujiao. With this determination, you will definitely become a strong person. With the two of you in the Mu family, the future is limitless."

Mu Nujiao smiled generously.

Mu Ningwei: "You flatter me, Dean."

"In that case, Mu Ningwei, which department will you apply to first? The School of Optical Engineering or the School of Dark Engineering? As for your third department, Blessing, you're the only one at Pearl Academy."

"Let's go to the Koin Academy, it'll be more lively with lots of people."

"Okay, here is the contact information for the director of the School of Optical Engineering."

After bidding farewell to Dean Xiao, I walked through the vast Mingzhu University campus.

Looking at her young and vibrant classmates, Mu Ningwei felt her mood brighten up, and said to Mu Nujiao beside her:

"Your answer was very good."

Mu Nujiao twirled a strand of hair behind her ear with her fingertips and chuckled softly, "That's the truth. I can't be protected by Brother Ningwei forever. Of course, I'll ask you for protection when necessary~"

Mu Nujiao winked playfully.

She is a cool and aloof goddess when dealing with her peers or younger generations.

When facing her strong, reliable, and handsome older brother, Mu Nujiao also shows her girlish side.

"I'll say hello to the department head, and then I'll go check out the Three Steps Tower. What are your plans?"

"Of course, it's cultivation."

"Yes, on my desk in my room, there are some plant-based cultivation techniques that I summarized last night. Although I don't have a plant-based cultivation method, I've still spent a few years in Parthenon, so you can take a look."

Mu Nujiao opened her beautiful eyes wide, "Brother Ning Wei! Thank you!"

Mu Ningwei smiled and said, "It's my duty to take care of you. Study hard, I'll test you when we get back."

Mu Nujiao was full of energy: "With Ning Wei's guidance, I'm determined to perform excellently in the assessment!"

……

The Three-Step Tower is the training ground of Pearl Academy. It is named after the phrase "three steps without boundaries". Although it does not look big on the outside, it is actually a complex spatial magic array with a vast interior.

Entering the Three-Step Tower, the higher you go, the more concentrated the energy becomes, but you need to withstand the pressure, which is a kind of test.

Mu Ningwei easily arrived at the third floor and sat cross-legged in the place with the most concentrated energy.

If a mid-level mage cultivates here, one day here can be equivalent to two or three hundred days.

For high-level mages, the effect is greatly reduced, but one day can still be equivalent to dozens of days.

Mu Ningwei is a high-ranking member of the three systems, with the Light and Shadow systems receiving blessings from high-ranking beings.

The blessing system was awakened under the guidance of the elder sister Athena.

Their cultivation speed is two to three times faster than that of ordinary mages, and they also receive greater bonuses in cultivation areas.

"Continue to cultivate the light element."

Mu Ningwei was a legitimate Dharma Master. He never practiced multiple systems simultaneously, but instead focused on cultivating one system.

Until a major stage is broken through, then with a higher realm and more resources, the cultivation levels of other systems can be raised.

Because light-elemental resources are easier to obtain, Mu Ningwei plans to focus on light-elemental cultivation at the higher levels.

Currently, the Light system is at the advanced level 2, while the Shadow and Blessing systems are at the advanced level 1.

Although the Three-Step Tower has reduced the effects of high-level level 2 magic, Mu Ningwei is still determined to cultivate the light magic.

Galaxy Magic Weapon unleashed its full power;

Athena's blessing of light affinity is absorbed by the storm.

Energy surged wildly at the center of the Three-Step Tower;

Mu Ning's cultivation level kept rising, rising with anger, rising with strength, and rising with dominance.

When the 7 days were up, I had already reached the bottleneck of the advanced level 3!

"Bottlenecks aren't difficult for me, but breaking through them will require some preparation time, so I won't be able to complete this seclusion."

"It's the beginning of the year now, and the year is coming to an end. I wonder if I'll be able to break through to a higher realm."

……

After leaving the Three Steps Pagoda, we went home to take a shower and enjoyed a sumptuous lunch prepared by the shepherd sisters.

Mu Ningwei tested Mu Nujiao's theoretical knowledge of botany and occasionally inquired about Mu Nuxin's recent situation.

With 5 million yuan in initial capital, Mu Nuxin did not rush into the mage circle. Apart from investing a portion in the family business, which was guaranteed to make a profit, she invested the rest in ordinary industries.

Judging from her words, she plans to use the profits to hire pharmacists and blacksmiths, and then enter the highly profitable mage circle.

Mu Ning stayed at home to cultivate, preparing for a breakthrough.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Mu Nujiao's main campus for the assessment.

"I remember, there was a disturbance at Black Pepper Court during this assessment, and Xu Zhaoting and his girlfriend died."
