Full-Time Magister: I Am the Shadow King

After experiencing the battle of the [Beginner Time-Limited Dungeon], Cheng Xiaoyu roughly understood his own strength and realized that dealing with some low-level servant-level demons would not be a problem.

He also possessed the demon-slaying weapon he had acquired, giving him an advantage in close-quarters combat, which he was currently skilled at, but it was best suited for assassinations.

After all, having stayed at home for so long, it's impossible to train for only a short time every day. When accepting bounties from the Hunter's Alliance, I only accept simple ones, such as collecting medicinal herbs. I try to find a few lone demons outside the safe zone to practice on.

Don't underestimate these small bounties; they add up. The more bounties you take, the more money you'll have, which will help supplement your household income and buy your sister some pretty clothes.

One day, Cheng Xiaoyu had just finished a bounty mission at the Hunter Alliance and was returning home when he unexpectedly encountered a stranger on the way.

"Cheng Xiaoyu...right?"

Upon hearing a pleasant voice, Cheng Xiaoyu turned his head in confusion and saw a beautiful figure standing to the side.

A beautiful woman walked over, her long hair cascading over her shoulders. Her voluptuous figure was clad in a black mini-skirt, and her slender, long legs were fair and shapely. The high heels on her feet accentuated her tall stature.

Looking at the mature and charming woman in front of him, Cheng Xiaoyu frowned slightly. He did have a vague impression of her, but he really didn't recognize her.

Seeing Cheng Xiaoyu's puzzled look, the woman in the black dress smiled and explained.

"You really don't know me. I'm your class's new magic practice teacher. My name is Tang Yue."

"Oh, hello teacher."

Cheng Xiaoyu finally had a vague recollection of it; he seemed to have seen her in the office at the beginning of the semester. He nodded to Tang Yue.

Tang Yue looked at Cheng Xiaoyu's handsome and resolute face, then at his tall and muscular physique, pointed to the Hunter Alliance not far away, and asked.

"You must have just come from the Hunter's Guild, right?"

"Um."

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded truthfully, not understanding what the teacher was trying to say.

"I'd like to talk to you. Could I take up a little of your time? Of course, if you're in a hurry, then forget it."

Seeing Tang Yue point to the coffee shop next door, Cheng Xiaoyu pondered for a moment and then nodded. He did have some free time now and wasn't in a hurry to go home.

The two entered the coffee shop, and the handsome man and beautiful woman naturally attracted the attention of many people. Tang Yue ordered two cups of coffee and sat on the sofa. Cheng Xiaoyu didn't like this kind of thing, so he took a sip and put it down.

"Teacher Tang... what would you like to ask?"

"Cheng Xiaoyu, it's like this, your teacher is also aware of your situation and knows that you've had a particularly tough time. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyu saw Tang Yue's serious expression and felt that she didn't seem to be lying, so he shook his head.

"Thank you for your concern, Teacher Tang, but I don't need any help right now."

"Then... can I ask you what level you've reached in your cultivation?"

Tang Yue felt that the question was a bit presumptuous, so she added.

"That's not what I meant. It's just that the final exams are in a month, and I was just showing concern as a teacher."

Hearing these far-fetched words, Cheng Xiaoyu was speechless. However, given that the other party was a teacher, as long as it didn't involve the system, he didn't care about magic.

"I've already reached the second level in my Shadow Arts training, so passing the final exam shouldn't be a problem."

A glint of light appeared in Tang Yue's beautiful eyes. Although she awakened her magic less than a year ahead of schedule, this speed was already quite impressive, especially considering that she did so without any resources to help her.

Of course, she didn't think the money Cheng Xiaoyu got from the bounty would be of much help, after all, what ability could a lowly level two mage have to accept such a large bounty?

She felt a sense of appreciation for his talent. She hadn't expected such a resilient young man to emerge from this small city of Bo. Even if she couldn't bring him to trial later, she could still offer him some help.

Thinking of this, Tang Yue took out a bank card from her pocket and pushed it in front of Cheng Xiaoyu, a beautiful smile appearing on her delicate face.

"There's 500,000 in the card, and the password is six 8s. Consider it a small donation from the teacher to the student. The teacher is currently taking the Shadow magic as a minor, so if you have any questions about magic, you can come to me."

After saying that, she got up and left very casually, just like a female customer who pays after completing a task.

"Wait a moment……"

By the time Cheng Xiaoyu and the others realized what was happening, Tang Yue had already left the coffee shop. He stared at the bank card in his hand, at a loss for what to do.

Is this considered a member tip...?

A man at a nearby table was staring in astonishment. Although he hadn't heard much of the conversation, he had witnessed the handing over of the bank card and couldn't help but look at Cheng Xiaoyu with admiration.

These young people are so sensible! They're already siding up with rich women to pave their way for the future!

Feeling the strange looks from others, Cheng Xiaoyu quickly left the coffee shop. He figured that even if he returned the bank card, the female teacher probably wouldn't take it back.

Ugh, this is really a headache. Now I owe them a favor. Looks like I'll have to find a chance to repay them later...

……

Time passed day by day, and Cheng Xiaoyu rarely returned to school, because today was the day of the final exam.

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the groups of students on the playground and had no idea which one was his class until he saw Mu Bai waving at him.

"Thanks, otherwise I don't know how long it would have taken to find it."

"It's nothing... By the way, has Mu Ningxue contacted you recently?"

Mu Bai smiled gently, then seemed to have thought of something, hesitated for a moment before asking the question.

Cheng Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow and nodded.

"We were in contact a while ago, but haven't been together for the last few days. She seems to be busy... Why did you suddenly bring her up?"

"Uh...it's nothing, because you'll see him soon."

"ha?"

Suddenly, voices came from the school's poor-quality sound system, drawing his attention.

"...Today is also a very special day, because we have invited the most outstanding female mage in Bo City. She was admitted to the Imperial Academy at the age of 15 without any special qualifications. I think many of you have already heard her legend... That's right, she is Mu Ningxue!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyu looked up at the podium and indeed saw a beautiful figure standing there like a lotus in the snow, her snow-white high-waisted tight dress showing off her proud figure to the fullest!

What's most striking isn't just her figure, which exudes a sexy, youthful charm, but also her stunningly beautiful, long, silver-white, center-parted hair.

Despite the sweltering heat, the girl standing proudly on the platform was like a snow fairy who had walked down from the snowy Tianshan Mountains to the mortal world—so ethereal and beautiful, yet so inviolable!

Xiaoxue...why is she here?
