I just became a mage, and my skills have become supernatural? What the heck?

The luxurious carriage gradually filled up with people.

As the magical train shuddered slightly, the scenery outside the window began to slowly recede.

Lin Mo gazed contentedly at the scenery outside the window.

"So, we're setting off already..."

He felt a mix of emotions.

To be honest, after living in this world for eighteen years, I've never actually been to Kyoto.

It's not that I can't go, it's just that I'm too lazy to go out.

Just then.

A middle-aged man walked over from the aisle and stopped next to Lin Mo's seat.

Lin Mo raised his head slightly.

The man was about forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and exuded a military-like competence and austere air.

Behind him followed a young team member who looked to be in his early twenties, and whose expression was slightly reserved.

"Excuse me, are you Lin Mo?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the badge on Lin Mo's chest and a smile appeared on his face.

Lin Mo nodded politely. "It's me. And you are?"

"Let me introduce myself. I am Shen Yifeng, the captain of the security team on this train."

"Responsible for the security of this train throughout its journey."

Shen Yifeng smiled and pointed to the young team member behind him, "This is my deputy, Xiao Liu."

Lin Mo suddenly realized.

It turned out to be the head of the security team.

Indeed, although the train has a defensive array that can withstand a certain degree of beast tide attacks.

But the wilderness is full of uncertainties.

In the event of a large beast tide, or the sudden appearance of a wild BOSS or world BOSS, the defensive magic circle would have little chance of withstanding it.

At this point, the guard team is needed to handle the emergency.

"Hello, Captain Shen."

Lin Mo replied politely, "Is there something you need?"

Shen Yifeng waved his hand and laughed heartily:

"Nothing serious, just a routine inspection."

"I saw that Tianjiao from the Longxu class was on the bus, so I came over to say hello."

Shen Yifeng looked at Lin Mo with admiration in his eyes:

"I've long heard that Jianghai City has produced an outstanding figure this year. Meeting him today, Lin Mo is indeed a handsome and extraordinary person."

"Those who can get into the Dragon Order Class are the future pillars of our Dragon Kingdom, the dragons among men."

Although these words sounded like mere formalities, Shen Yifeng spoke with utmost sincerity.

As the captain of the guards who spends his days on the front lines of danger, he knows better than anyone the significance of the badge of the Dragon Order Class.

That's not just honor, it represents absolute strength and potential.

Lin Mo smiled and said modestly:

"Captain Shen, you flatter me. I was just lucky."

"Oh, Lin is too modest."

Shen Yifeng said solemnly:

"The journey is long and we will have to pass through several dangerous wilderness areas."

"But please rest assured, Lin, our entire escort team is elite, so there is absolutely no problem with safety."

"If you need anything in your life, or encounter any trouble, just tell me, or you can contact me directly through the train conductor."

Lin Mo nodded:

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Captain Shen. I'll let you know if I need anything."

"Okay, then I won't disturb Lin's rest any longer."

Shen Yifeng was very sensible. Seeing that he had made the necessary arrangements, he didn't linger any longer and turned to leave with Xiao Liu, continuing his inspection of the back of the train.

……

The two walked through two carriages and arrived at the designated smoking area at the connection point.

Shen Yifeng took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.

Xiao Liu, the young team member who had been following behind, finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Captain, is that... Lin Mo?"

"He looks quite ordinary. Apart from being slightly handsome, he doesn't seem to have any aura of strength."

Xiao Liu lowered his voice, his tone tinged with doubt:

"Besides, isn't he just a basic mage? The internet says he speed-cleared level 30 of the Trial Tower? That's cheating, isn't it?"

At this point, Xiao Liu pursed his lips, giving off a knowing look:

"I heard his father is Lin Tianhao, the God of War, and his mother is a big capitalist. His family is rich and powerful, and they can easily get him into the elite class..."

"Snapped!"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Shen Yifeng slapped Xiao Liu on the back of the head.

Although he didn't use much force, he still made Xiao Liu shrink back.

"Hey Captain, why did you hit me?"

Shen Yifeng glared at him and scolded him irritably:

"Keep your little schemes to yourself!"

"Cheating on major exams? Using connections? What do you take the top-tier class for?"

Shen Yifeng exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes becoming somewhat profound:

"There, even if you're the son of the God of War, or even the son of the Heavenly King himself, you'll be kicked out if you don't have the strength!"

Xiao Liu rubbed the back of his head, still somewhat unconvinced:

"But... a blank slate mage is really outrageous..."

"Outrageous?"

Shen Yifeng sneered:

There are plenty of outrageous things in this world.

"Never use your limited understanding to measure true genius."

"Since he was able to sit in the top seat of the Dragon Order Class with nothing to his name, it means that he has a terrifying ability far beyond that of ordinary people."

Shen Yifeng stubbed out his cigarette, his tone becoming serious:

"Alright, enough of that. We've issued a notice that things aren't going to be peaceful in the wild lately, with frequent animal tides in various places. You need to be on your guard."

Xiao Liu muttered in a low voice:

"Captain, we've deployed three times the usual number of guards to escort these students to Beijing. What could possibly go wrong?"

Shen Yifeng's eyes were sharp:

"Three times? Even if it's ten times, I'd better be on my toes!"

"You better remember this: there are four students from the Dragon Order Class on this train. They are all strategic talents of our Dragon Kingdom."

"If they lose even a single hair... they'll not just skin you alive, they'll chop you up and throw you into the wilderness to feed the demon wolves—that would be the least of their worries!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu felt a chill run down his spine.

"Yes...yes, Captain!"

……

Inside the luxury carriage.

After ordering his food, Lin Mo leaned against the window to rest.

The only thing that made him a little uncomfortable was that there was someone behind him on the left with the volume turned up to the maximum, scrolling through short videos.

quickly,

A young female server pushing a food cart walked up to Lin Mo.

The girl looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a ponytail and a professional yet sweet smile on her face.

"Hello, would you like to order something?"

Lin Mo smiled and pointed to several items on the menu, "This, this, this... and this, this page, um, let's get one of each."

The girl quickly wrote down the menu, without showing much surprise on her face.

After all, those who can afford to ride in luxury carriages are all either rich or noble.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After saying that, the girl didn't leave immediately, but instead mustered up her courage.

"Um...excuse me, I've always admired the students in the Dragon Order Class. Could you please take a picture with me? Just one!"

Seeing the girl's expectant yet apprehensive expression, Lin Mo couldn't help but chuckle.

These days, you can gain fans just by going to school?

Lin Mo casually straightened his collar and even flaunted a stray hair from his forehead. "Come on, I'm in a good mood today, so I grant your request."

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

The girl quickly took out her phone and moved closer to Lin Mo.

A soft click.

The girl looked at the group photo on her phone screen, her eyes shining like two stars.

"Hey, you're so photogenic! I forgot to turn on the beauty filter, and the result is that you don't need it at all; your features are so defined..."

As she spoke, the girl blushed.

"Sigh, my looks are a gift from my parents, there's nothing I can do about it. Every morning when I wake up and look in the mirror, I have to bow to them."

After hearing Lin Mo's words, the girl chuckled.

"You're so funny!"

"Then I won't disturb your rest any longer; your meal will be served shortly!"

"Hey, wait a minute."

Lin Mo called out to the girl who was about to leave and pointed to the area to her left and behind:

"Could you please remind that guy over there to keep his voice down?"

The girl looked in the direction Lin Mo was pointing.

The audio from the short video played aloud also came through clearly.
