Full-Time Magister: All-Element Mutant Star Child

This talent isn't outstanding, but it's not bad either.

When fighting against opponents of the same level, Dongfang Ming can release magic almost twice as fast as his opponent. While others are only condensing three or four stars, Dongfang Ming has already condensed a star trail.

With faster spell casting, Dongfang Ming still has a significant advantage in battles against opponents of the same level, since he can render his opponents unable to use spells.

However, the casting speed of magic can be shortened through practice; the shortest casting time is a single thought.

If both sides release their magic in a single thought, then there is no question of who is faster or slower; it all comes down to who reacts faster and releases the magic first.

Standing there, Dongfang Ming addressed Dongfang Yang and his cousin, "Brother, cousin, there aren't many people in the Demon Gathering Hall. We're lucky."

Dongfang Lie replied, "Then let's begin our cultivation."

Then Dongfang Lie said to Dongfang Yang, "Second brother, after you finish your cultivation, go back on your own. Xiaoming and I will have lunch at the Demon Gathering Hall and continue our cultivation here this afternoon."

Dongfang Lie and Dongfang Ming have already benefited from the cultivation boost provided by the Demon Gathering Hall over the past year.

The boost provided by the Demon Gathering Hall to the two of them has now dropped to its lowest point, almost reaching its limit. Even if they cultivate every few days, the boost cannot be restored.

Therefore, there is no need to divide the cultivation time into separate periods; it is sufficient to use it all at once.

"Understood," Dongfang Yang replied.

After entering the Demon Gathering Hall, the three of them went their separate ways to find places to cultivate.

After finding an empty fire-type training room on the first floor of the Demon Gathering Hall, Dongfang Yang suddenly turned to look at the staircase leading to the second floor.

"Why don't I go to the second floor of the Demon Gathering Hall to cultivate for a while?" Dongfang Yang pondered.

"Forget it, I'll just continue cultivating on the first floor of the Demon Gathering Hall."

"Although the concentration of demonic energy in the training room on the second floor of the Demon Gathering Hall is twenty times that of the outside world and twice that of the training room on the first floor, the training time consumed is three times longer."

"The first-floor training room of the Demon Gathering Hall is still useful to me, so there's no need to go to the second floor."

If the cultivation time on the first, second, and third floors of the Demon Gathering Hall did not require exchanging, or if the exchange rate for cultivation time on each floor was two to one, Dongfang Yang would definitely go to cultivate on the second and third floors.

With a time-to-time exchange ratio of three to one, the cultivation room on the first floor of the Demon Gathering Hall, with ten times the concentration of demonic energy, would still be useful to Dongfang Yang. Therefore, cultivating on the first floor would be the most efficient use of cultivation time.

……

Almost another month passed quickly, and at the end of August, Dongfang Yang followed Dongfang Lie and Dongfang Ming to Shanghai.

Shanghai is a major city in China, full of skyscrapers, giving people the feeling that it is very wealthy.

At the Dongfang family's headquarters in Shanghai, Dongfang Yang met Dongfang Mo.

Dongfang Yang called out to the man who bore a striking resemblance to his father, "Uncle."

"Mm," Dongfang Mo responded, then spoke:

"My second brother told me about your situation. I rented a three-bedroom apartment for you in the school district next to Shanghai's No. 1 High School. If you don't want to stay at school, you can cultivate there."

Dongfang Mo continued, "Since there are spare rooms, we can let Xiao Lie and Xiao Ming move in together. That way, their cultivation won't be disturbed by other students when they are cultivating in the school dormitory."

"You three brothers are all fire-type, so it's good to cultivate together and exchange cultivation experiences."

Dongfang Yang replied, "Uncle can arrange it."

The house was rented by Dongfang Mo. Dongfang Lie and Dongfang Ming were not outsiders; one was his older brother, and the other was his close cousin. It was fine for them to live together.

After all, Dongfang Ming rented a three-bedroom apartment, and everyone had their own room.

Dongfang Lie and Dongfang Ming were also somewhat surprised. Dongfang Ming, standing up, said, "I'm just benefiting from my cousin's fame."

He also knew that Dongfang Yang was special, and other family disciples did not receive the same treatment as Dongfang Yang.

At this moment, Dongfang Mo took out three keys and handed them to Dongfang Yang and the other two, saying:

"Here's the key to that house. The location is... unit... building... room. Go take a look and tidy it up."

Dongfang Mo is a very busy person; he has his own things to do.

Dongfang Yang and his two companions took a taxi to their accommodation, a house on the second floor. All three bedrooms had windows and were the same size; each of them chose one.

……

September 1st, the standard start date for the new school term.

After having breakfast, Dongfang Yang and his two companions went to Shanghai's No. 1 High School next to their residence. They separated after entering the school, as they were now second-year high school students and not in the same grade as Dongfang Yang.

Dongfang Yang followed the signs and arrived at Class 1 of the Special Admissions Class for the first year of high school.

Upon entering the classroom, Dongfang Yang noticed that next to the classroom of Special Admission Class 1 was Special Admission Class 2, and further down the corridor were Special Admission Class 3 and Special Admission Class 4.

Dongfang Yang wasn't sure if there were any other special admission classes, but there were only four special admission classes in this building.

After entering the classroom of the special recruitment class, Dongfang Yang observed for a while.

This classroom is the standard size, with forty sets of desks and chairs, arranged very spaciously, and each desk is labeled with a student's ID number.

At this time, more than twenty students had already sat down in the classroom. Some were chatting in twos and threes, while others were playing games or looking up information on their laptops.

While regular high schools might prohibit laptops and cell phones, this place allows them.

Dongfang Yang looked at his student ID number, found his seat, and sat down. Dongfang Yang's student ID number was twelve.

This student ID number is just the order in which the school specially recruits students. Dongfang Yang is the twelfth student specially recruited by the school this year.

Dongfang Yang wasn't surprised. The time of Dongfang Yang's awakening was determined by the family based on the mental strength of the "native people before the transmigration".

It's normal for other forces to have people who reached the required mental strength earlier than Dongfang Yang. Those people aren't necessarily more talented than Dongfang Yang; perhaps they're just a few months older than him, which is why they reached the required mental strength earlier.

Those students may not all be disciples of various families and forces; some may be descendants of ordinary mages, or even just ordinary people.

If ordinary people and ordinary mages want their children to awaken magic ahead of time, they can simply go to the Magic Association and pay for an awakening stone.

The initial cost of awakening magic is only tens of thousands of dollars, and using a guide stone only costs a little more.

Most ordinary families, including those with descendants of monks, can afford it, but ordinary people rarely do so.

In their view, since the school will awaken magic for students who haven't awakened it yet, there's no need to spend tens of thousands of dollars to cultivate for several months.

However, if the child's family consists of mid-level or high-level mages, or if the family has some money, or if the elders in the family are farsighted, they are still very willing to spend tens of thousands of yuan to let their child awaken magic a few months earlier than others.

Awakening magic a few months earlier is not as simple as just starting to train a few months earlier.

The school has resources, but students have to fight for them. Students who start training a few months earlier are more likely to acquire resources and become stronger than ordinary students.
