Full-Time Magister: What kind of demonic tree is this? It's clearly a sacred tree!

Chapter 91 Osaka

As everyone packed their bags, the old monks, being quite kind, used their Japanese identities to buy everyone large vehicles to travel to Tokyo.

They boarded a large vehicle that was traveling along the coastline, and took the opportunity to enjoy the scenery as they passed through West Bear City.

The train gradually moved from the coastal area into the mainland. The continuous mountain ranges, appearing bluish-purple, were distributed on both sides of the large vehicle's tracks. The mountains in Japan were relatively clean, and the air was better than I had imagined.

"We have to go to Osaka." Just as everyone was dozing off, Ai Jiangtu suddenly spoke up.

"Aren't we going straight to Tokyo?" Zhao Manyan asked. "We need to have some friendly competition with some well-known Japanese universities; our mentors specifically instructed us to do so. There's a Japanese National Pavilion in Osaka; we have to get past Osaka before going to Tokyo," Ai Jiangtu said. "Challenging the pavilion! That's the most exciting thing!" Mo Fan exclaimed excitedly. "How much longer until we get to Osaka?" Zhang Chen asked. "Soon, I think."

"There are many sea monsters in Japan. I've heard that some coastal areas around Osaka are famous for their naval battles. If we have enough time, we can go and see them. I've heard the scenes are spectacular," Jiang Yu said.

Osaka is not a peaceful place, and its situation is somewhat similar to that of ancient capitals in China, where large-scale wars often occur.

Sirens are a super-powerful race among demons. Japan has suffered even more disasters than China, and their buildings are very resistant to damage. Even if a siren were to invade the city, it might not be able to destroy those resistant buildings.

Osaka is actually not that bad; the most intense competition is in Tokyo.

That place was indeed Japan's most prosperous capital, but it was also the largest naval city in terms of scale. Different races of sea monsters would raid the beaches day and night, but they could never shake the solid coastal shield of Tokyo and Osaka. As a result, Osaka and Tokyo received a large amount of resources from the corpses of monsters every day, making them extremely wealthy.

It could even be said that the sirens boosted the economies of these two cities.

"Once we get to Tokyo, we'll definitely go to Naval Battle City. We won't go to Osaka; our main goal is to cause trouble for their academy," Ai Jiangtu said.

"Yeah, Tokyo's Naval Battle City is one of the world's four major naval battlefields. There's not much to see in Osaka. Let's quickly take care of that National Pavilion here and go see some big scenes!" Jiang Yu said.

"Are you sure it's really spectacular there?" Mo Fan asked. "It's more than spectacular! Do you know how long the coastline of Xibo is? You can see sea monsters almost every kilometer. There are slave-level, warrior-level, and commander-level sea monsters—" Jiang Yu's face lit up when he mentioned the monsters.

"Why does it sound like the density of the dead isn't even as high as in the ancient capital?" Mo Fan thought of the countless dead that lay beneath their feet when they were in the other dimension.

"The spirits of the ancient capital have accumulated over countless years, while the number of sea monsters is dozens or even hundreds of times that of humans. If they truly preferred the land, we humans would have long since become their colony. Compared to the sea monster empire, the land monster empire is nothing—" Jiang Yu said. Jiang Yu's words made Mo Fan and Zhang Chen drool. How much flesh, blood, and remnant souls could so many monsters produce every day?

As they were having a lively conversation, Osaka was getting closer and closer.

"We're almost in Osaka!" Jiang Shaoxu wasn't particularly interested in killing sea monsters; her excitement probably lay in eating and shopping.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious!" Jiang Shaoxu seemed to have no intention of resting and was about to head to a food paradise with the girls.

Osaka truly is a food paradise; you could eat your way through desserts, snacks, and tea for days on end without feeling overwhelmed.

The girls in the group were all foodies. The moment food was mentioned, they forgot they came to Osaka to challenge the tournament. They disappeared into the transportation station in the blink of an eye, not letting the men follow them and disturb their romantic getaway.

"No way, they're just leaving the challenge to us?" Mo Fan felt a bit bored as the girls flew away like birds.

"Most national pavilions are affiliated with universities. If you're at a university, you won't have to worry about not finding girls," Zhao Manyan said.

"That's right, we almost forgot that we came here to sow the seeds of the world."

"Please don't drag me into this when you say that, I'm not," Zhang Chen said, shaking off Mo Fan's arm.

"A virgin!"

"What did you say?! Aren't you one of them?"

The location of the Osaka National Palace is quite interesting, situated on two mountains that rise about seven or eight kilometers from the coastline.

Huwang Mountain is two mountains with very similar shapes. The mountain faces are rugged and the slopes are steep. The road winds around the mountainside and you can see some bends with cliffs 180 degrees away from the road from time to time.

The National Pavilion is located on the mountaintop and is also known as the Twin Guardian Pavilion. From a distance, it looks like two gray-white castles standing on the mountain. Between the two sister pavilions, which are suspended high on the cliff, there is a suspended wooden walkway. There is only one mountain path, so the only way to reach one of the guard pavilions is through that aerial walkway!

This Futsumori-kaku is very famous both domestically and internationally. Mo Fan and the others did not expect that the National Pavilion would be located here, which also allowed them to witness the construction art of the Japanese Futsumori-kaku.

"The roof of the twin towers is actually an observation tower. Looking south from here, you can see the most intense naval battles in Osaka. That's why many special operations unit leaders live here—I never expected that this Japanese national pavilion would be so special—"

"Impressive!" Jiang Yu exclaimed.

Upon arriving at Shuangshouge, the castle-like architecture was indeed magnificent and spectacular, but in Mo Fan's opinion, this kind of castle with pointed eaves and tiled roofs was not particularly distinctive.

Upon arriving at the stone wall, two Japanese monks dressed in traditional Japanese robes stood guard at the gate. When they saw Mo Fan and his group of young people, their gazes immediately sharpened, as if they had trespassed into forbidden territory.

"Hey, you're Chinese, aren't you?" A young woman dressed in traditional Japanese clothing asked, holding a floral umbrella, her tone somewhat accusatory.

The woman walked over with small, quick steps. Her clothes should have easily accentuated the elegant, intelligent, gentle, and friendly temperament of a Japanese woman, but this woman was not so friendly. She suddenly closed the floral umbrella in her hand and slammed it heavily on the ground, pointing at their group with her other hand.

How do you know we are Chinese?

Mo Fan was somewhat puzzled. Logically speaking, Chinese and Japanese people don't look much different. The girl didn't hear them talking, so why did she assume they were Chinese?

"Only you Chinese tourists never know any manners! Didn't you see a 'No Entry' sign when you were down the mountain? Can't you read?"

The woman stood sideways, her chest puffed out, her tall wooden clogs accentuating her unusually tall stature. Even her gaze towards Mo Fan and the others unconsciously became one of pride and disdain.

Zhang Chen frowned slightly, then exclaimed, "Reversing the Heavenly Gang!"

"Miss, we're not tourists," Mo Fan said. "Even Chinese people trying to work here and get Japanese citizenship aren't allowed. Get down the mountain now, or I'll kill you all—"

Before the woman could finish her incredibly arrogant words, her eyes lost their sparkle.

Even the guards nearby lost their sparkle. "Is this guy out of his mind?" Zhang Chen said, somewhat speechless.
