Full-Time Magister: Can My Magic Cultivate Itself?

After a whole night of "fierce battle", accompanied by the ticket-grabbing software frantically refreshing and the fingers clicking almost cramping.

When the words "Payment Successful" finally popped up on the screen, Lin Chen let out a long sigh of relief and slumped into his gaming chair as if he had collapsed from exhaustion.

"Getting tickets for the Spring Festival travel rush is even harder than getting control of the stars..."

Lin Chen rubbed his bloodshot eyes, but couldn't help but smile.

He successfully snagged a high-speed train ticket from Shanghai to Lushi. Once he arrived in Lushi, his beloved Bocheng would be within reach.

On the day I left Shanghai, fine snowflakes drifted down from the sky.

Lin Chen simply stuffed a few changes of clothes and the Stardust Magic Artifact he treasured into his backpack, zipped it up, and strode out of the duplex apartment that held half a year of his sweat and miracles.

Taking a taxi, going through security, waiting for the train... a series of procedures are carried out in an orderly manner in the extremely large and modern high-speed rail station in Shanghai.

When Lin Chen finally followed the flow of people into the warm, spring-like bullet train carriage and sat down in his window seat, he truly felt that he was going home.

Outside the train window, the bustling steel forest of Shanghai began to recede slowly as the train gradually accelerated.

Lin Chen took a deep breath and adjusted the seat back to a comfortable angle.

Unlike the other passengers who took out their phones to watch videos or go to sleep, he eagerly closed his eyes, his consciousness instantly sinking, and he easily entered his own mental world.

In that vast, boundless, pitch-black void, a ball of crimson fire-elemental stardust was spinning with unprecedented ferocity.

It was the restlessness of someone about to break free from their cocoon and become a butterfly!

Lin Chen stared intently at the semi-transparent progress bar above Stardust.

At this moment, his "extremely inward-curving" fire element is making its final sprint!

The progress bar, which was originally stuck at 99%, suddenly showed a decimal point, which is extremely rare.

[Current progress: 99.3%]

"It moved! It finally moved!"

Lin Chen screamed inwardly, and even his hands, which were resting on his thighs, began to tremble slightly.

He stared intently at the page, even his breathing became careful, as if afraid of disturbing this sacred moment.

As expected, with the fire-elemental star particles frantically roaming in the mental world, the number seemed to leap again, as if its heart were beating:

99.6%!

Next up is 99.8%!

99.9%!

At this point, the entire mental world seemed to sink into a quagmire, and the final 0.1% loading became incredibly long.

Lin Chen felt as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his heart, and fine beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead.

The seventh star struggled violently at the edge of the stardust, trying to resist the force of the rules that connected them.

"Connect it all!!!"

Lin Chen let out a deafening roar in his heart, pouring all his mental energy into it without reservation.

"Buzz—!!!"

With a clear, resounding roar that seemed to come from the depths of the soul, the long wait finally came to an end!

The progress bar, amidst a burst of brilliant red light, suddenly pounded and transformed into a flawless number:

100%!

In an instant, within the spiritual world, seven crimson stars, like ignited stars, connected end to end, transforming into a dazzling, destructive crimson star trail!

"Hahaha! I've succeeded, Daoist Master!!!"

In the real train carriage, Lin Chen suddenly opened his eyes. The emotions he had suppressed for half a year erupted like a volcano at this moment, and he shouted excitedly.

With his roar, an extremely violent and scorching magical wave erupted from his body.

With a whoosh, a burst of flame erupted from Lin Chen's slowly raised right palm, and a ball of crimson flame the size of a basketball suddenly burst forth without warning!

The flames rolled and roared, radiating astonishing heat that distorted the surrounding air and made Lin Chen's ecstatic face glow red!

This was an extremely spectacular visual spectacle, a miracle belonging to a novice mage!

However, while Lin Chen was having a good time, the people next to him were terrified.

Sitting to Lin Chen's left was a middle-aged man who was wearing headphones and dozing off.

He trembled all over from Lin Chen's shout.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt a wave of heat hit me. When I turned my head, I saw a raging fire leaping wildly less than half a meter away from my face!

"Oh my god!!!"

The middle-aged man was so frightened that his face contorted, and he let out a blood-curdling scream, his whole body suddenly shrinking back as if he had been electrocuted.

His head slammed heavily against the car window, his finger trembling as he pointed at Lin Chen's palm, shouting in a shrill voice:

"Fire! Fire! Fire! Help!"

The pig-like scream instantly shattered the tranquility of the carriage.

The surrounding passengers turned their gazes in horror, and when they saw the real flame in Lin Chen's hand, radiating terrifying heat, the entire carriage immediately descended into chaos.

"Holy crap! It's really on fire!"

"Quick, grab the fire extinguisher!"

Lin Chen was startled by the scene and instantly snapped out of his euphoria.

Seeing the terrified expressions on the faces of those around him, he cursed under his breath, "Damn it!" and immediately cut off the supply of magical energy.

With a "whoosh," the raging flame vanished without a trace, like a light bulb whose power had been cut off.

Not a wisp of smoke remained; only a faint smell of burning lingered in the air.

Just as the people in the carriage were looking at each other, wondering if they were all hallucinating, a series of crisp high heel sounds came from afar.

"Da, da, da..."

The crowd was gently pushed aside, and a young woman in a high-speed rail attendant uniform walked quickly over.

She was tall and slender, with long, beautiful legs encased in black stockings beneath her uniform skirt, exuding an aura of maturity and competence.

She walked up to Lin Chen, her gaze first sweeping over his right hand, which was completely unharmed and without any burn marks, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Then, with his hands clasped in front of his lower abdomen, a flawless professional smile on his face, he bent slightly and spoke in an extremely gentle yet somewhat warning voice:

"Dear Magician, the train carriage is an enclosed public space. For your safety and the safety of other passengers, please refrain from casting spells here."

Upon hearing the words "Master Magician," the passengers who were initially somewhat panicked suddenly realized what was going on, and their gazes toward Lin Chen instantly shifted from fear to awe and envy.

Lin Chen immediately felt incredibly good, the feeling of being the center of attention was something he would never tire of, no matter how many times he enjoyed it.

He quickly withdrew his hand, scratched his head like a child who had done something wrong, and smiled apologetically:

"I'm so sorry, I'm really so sorry!"

"I just finished fully controlling the seven stars, and in my excitement I couldn't help but release them... Don't worry, I'll be careful, and it definitely won't happen again!"

Upon hearing this, the beautiful flight attendant narrowed her lovely peach blossom eyes slightly and gave the young man in front of her a deep look.

Have you just finished controlling the stars?

Judging by his age, he's at most a first-year high school student.

How can one unleash magic so early in the first semester of high school?

This talent would be extremely dazzling even in Shanghai, right?

not to mention……

She carefully examined Lin Chen and found that although the young man's face still had a touch of immaturity, his features were extremely three-dimensional and handsome.

Especially the confidence and arrogance that flashed in his eyes when he released the magic just now, which revealed his extremely attractive good looks.

The beautiful flight attendant's eyes sparkled, and a subtle, charming smile curved her lips.

She rummaged in her dress pocket for a moment, and then, just as she turned to leave, her high heels suddenly twisted in an extremely "unnatural" way.

"oops--"

She let out a soft cry, lost her balance, and fell straight towards Lin Chen.

"Be careful!"

Having just completed his magical awakening, Lin Chen experienced a qualitative leap in both his reaction speed and physical abilities.

With lightning speed, he reached out and firmly supported the flight attendant's slender, soft arms, feeling their amazing elasticity even through the fabric.

"Are you alright?" Lin Chen asked with concern.

"No, it's nothing, thank you so much, handsome young man."

The beautiful flight attendant leaned against Lin Chen's arm, looked up, and smiled at him with a sweet, fragrant breath.

Just as Lin Chen was about to straighten her up, he suddenly felt a small ball of paper being stuffed into his palm.

Before he could react, the beautiful flight attendant had already used the momentum to straighten her body.

In the instant she withdrew her hand, her index finger, painted with light pink nail polish, brushed lightly across the back of Lin Chen's hand with an extremely natural yet fatally alluring touch, leaving a tingling sensation.

"Have a pleasant journey, genius magician."

She winked at Lin Chen, leaving him with a meaningful smile.

She then turned around, walked gracefully out of the carriage with the "clack-clack-clack" of her high heels, leaving only a faint, alluring scent of perfume lingering in the air.
