Full-Time Magister: Can My Magic Cultivate Itself?

"hiss--"

Upon hearing Lin Chen's admission, Teacher Wang gasped sharply and jumped up from her office chair!

"Two years...two years to intermediate level! You brat..." Teacher Wang pointed at Lin Chen, his fingers trembling slightly, so excited that he was incoherent.

"Do you even know you've broken the fastest cultivation record in the history of Shanghai No. 3 High School?! You're going to fly to the moon!"

Seeing the extremely excited Teacher Wang, Lin Chen could only scratch his head with a wry smile and remain silent.

His mind was completely focused on getting back to Bocheng as quickly as possible; he had no interest in recording anything.

After being excited for a while, Teacher Wang finally managed to calm down and sit back down in her chair.

He looked at Lin Chen with eyes full of satisfaction and admiration, but then, as if remembering something, he sighed.

"Sigh, your cultivation speed is truly making me a little jealous," Teacher Wang remarked, then his expression turned serious as he asked earnestly.

"Now that you've broken through to the intermediate level, has your second elemental ability awakened?"

"Not yet." Lin Chen shook his head. "I came to ask you for leave as soon as I broke through."

"Nonsense!" Upon hearing this, Teacher Wang immediately reprimanded him with a stern face.

"Awakening a new elemental magic is the most important thing for a mid-level mage! You haven't mastered fire elemental magic yet, which is exactly when you need a new elemental magic to assist you or add to your abilities. How can you delay?"

Without giving Lin Chen a chance to refute, Teacher Wang picked up the landline on the table and dialed a number.

"Feed? Old Guo, it's me, Old Wang. Yes, I have a student here who just broke through to the intermediate level. Could you arrange an awakening room for him this afternoon...?"

"What? The queue's full? I don't care what method you use, you have to let me cut in line! This kid's talent is absolutely worth making an exception for! Okay, it's a deal!"

After hanging up the phone, Teacher Wang quickly signed the leave slip, handed it to Lin Chen, and instructed him in an unquestionable tone:

"I've approved the leave. But you must first go to the Oriental Pearl Tower to awaken the new system before you can get back to Bo City!"

"And another thing, no matter what urgent matter you have at home, you must be back by now before the wilderness training in July! Do you understand?!"

"I heard you right! Thank you, Teacher Wang!"

Lin Chen felt a warmth in his heart, took the leave slip, and bowed deeply.

He knew that Teacher Wang was using her personal connections to pave the way for him.

After leaving school, Lin Chen immediately used his mobile phone to buy a bullet train ticket from Shanghai to Xiamen that afternoon, and a bus ticket from Xiamen back to Bocheng that evening.

Fortunately, it's not the peak of the Spring Festival travel rush, so there are still plenty of tickets available.

After getting his train ticket sorted, Lin Chen immediately took a taxi to the Oriental Pearl Tower, a landmark building in Shanghai.

This is the headquarters of the Shanghai Magic Association, a sacred place in the hearts of countless magicians.

Upon entering the magnificent hall of the Magic Association, Lin Chen went straight to the front desk.

"Hello, where is the Awakening Magic?" Lin Chen asked the beautiful receptionist, who was dressed in a flowing white cheongsam and had a gentle demeanor.

"Hello, sir. Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist greeted him with a professional, sweet smile.

"Yes, Teacher Wang made the reservation for me. It's in the Awakening Room this afternoon. I'm looking for Master Guo," Lin Chen replied.

The receptionist quickly checked the computer, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, before her attitude became even more respectful:

"Okay, Mr. Lin Chen, is that right? Your appointment has been confirmed. Master Guo is already waiting for you in Awakening Room Number Two. Please follow me."

Led by the receptionist, Lin Chen walked through the long corridor and arrived at Awakening Room No. 2.

Pushing open the door, a middle-aged man stood in the center, fiddling with an awakening stone that emitted a faint glow.

This is exactly the "Old Guo" that Teacher Wang was talking about—Master Guo.

"You're the little monster that Old Wang mentioned, the one who reached the mid-level in two years?" Master Guo raised his head, looked Lin Chen up and down, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Your foundation is quite solid. Come on over."

Lin Chen stepped forward and respectfully greeted, "Greetings, Master Guo."

"Hmm." Master Guo nodded and pointed to the Awakening Stone in front of him.

"Do you need a guiding stone? If you want to awaken a specific element, it's not too late to tell me now, but you'll have to pay for it yourself."

"No need, let nature take its course." Lin Chen shook his head.

"Alright, let's begin. You should be familiar with the process. Close your eyes, clear your mind, and feel the changes in your mental world."

As Master Guo finished speaking, Lin Chen took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and gently placed his hands on the cool Awakening Stone.

In an instant, a strange energy surged from his arm straight into his mind!

Lin Chen felt as if his consciousness had detached from his body and returned to that vast and boundless spiritual universe.

At the center of the spiritual world, a vast crimson fire nebula was slowly rotating, radiating domineering high temperatures.

Beside this nebula, in the previously empty darkness, a faint light suddenly appeared.

The light grew brighter and clearer...

"That is..."

Lin Chen's consciousness was fixed on that ball of light.

It's not the cyan of the wind element, not the purple of the lightning element, and not the blue of the water element.

It was an extremely soft pink, as if it possessed a certain calming power!

"pink?!"

Lin Chen was suddenly shocked, his face filled with disbelief.

"This is... a mind-based system?!"

In the world of "Full-Time Magister", magic is divided into four categories: elemental magic, white magic, black magic, and dimensional magic.

White magic is extremely rare, and mind magic is the most mysterious and difficult to awaken among all white magic!

It doesn't have strong destructive power, but it can directly affect the soul, soothe demons, interfere with spellcasting, and even, after being cultivated to a high level, directly control the enemy's mind!

"I've actually... awakened white magic?!"

Lin Chen's heart was in turmoil.

He thought he would awaken conventional elemental magic such as wind or earth, but he never expected that God would open such a big blind box for him!

Filled with shock, Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Master Guo standing to the side, staring at his hands which he had placed on the Awakening Stone with a strange look in his eyes.

At this moment, the originally transparent awakening stone was emitting an extremely dazzling, even somewhat blinding, pink light!

The entire awakening room was illuminated by this soft light.

"Mindset".

Master Guo looked at the pink light, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

As a senior Awakening Master of the Shanghai Magic Association, he has seen too many geniuses and rare magic systems in his life.

"You're incredibly lucky, kid." Master Guo shook his head, his tone tinged with a touch of感慨 (gan3kai3, a Chinese expression of admiration or regret).

"Fire-based attacks are for offense, while mind-based attacks are for control and support. This combination of offense and support is a perfect match. Old Wang's judgment is as sharp as ever."

"Thank you, Master Guo." Lin Chen withdrew his hands and respectfully expressed his gratitude.

"Alright, stop standing there." Master Guo waved his hand and began to rudely shoo the guests away.

"Once you've awakened, hurry up and get out of here. There's a whole line of people waiting outside. Go back and solidify your cultivation level; don't waste your talent!"

"Yes, goodbye Master Guo!"

Lin Chen didn't linger and turned to leave the Awakening Room.

Stepping out of the Oriental Pearl Tower and looking at the bustling metropolis outside, Lin Chen took a deep breath of the slightly sweltering air.
