Full-Time Magister: Time Stop Talent, Many Children, Many Blessings

Leng Qing's voice was not loud.

However, Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao, who were watching the show from the outside, heard everything clearly.

An invitation to the trial!

Even a position as a trainee judge is something many graduating students from Mingzhu Academy would desperately want!

But now, after just a few simple words, this woman has actually extended an invitation to Lu Heqiu?!

Is this woman crazy?

Isn't this a bit too frivolous?

Even the judge standing beside Leng Qing glanced at him in disbelief. It wasn't against the rules, but determining a mage's ability without passing the assessment was indeed a bit hasty.

Leng Qing didn't care at all, and just waited quietly for Lu Heqiu's answer.

assessment?

The main task of the Tribunal was to deal with the Black Vatican.

If we were to select a group of judges from the current tribunal and have them deal with a black-robed priest, four gray-robed men, and a bunch of black and cursed beasts when they were at the intermediate level, who could possibly do it?

Almost none!

Lu Heqiu, standing before them, not only easily dealt with these guys, but also calmly faced the interrogation at the trial. Just this composure alone was enough for Leng Qing to give him a spot as a trainee judge!

"No."

"If possible, please have the court conceal my identity and transfer the money as soon as possible."

Lu Heqiu spoke lazily, clearly not taking the so-called quota seriously. To him, the Inquisition and the Black Vatican were so intertwined that they were practically riddled with holes. Joining the Inquisition was not only unnecessary, but also more dangerous.

Who knows if the person next to you is a spy for the Black Vatican?

It's more practical to pick up girls.

"Okay, I'll urge them."

"Do you need us to take you home?"

Leng Qing didn't insist, but spoke with a slightly concerned tone. Lu Heqiu wanted to agree directly to save on the fare, but his eyes caught sight of the two figures on the outermost edge, and he gently shook his head.

"No need, I live nearby."

Done.

Lu Heqiu then walked out of the crowd.

When Ai Tutu saw Lu Heqiu walking towards them, she waved excitedly. Clearly, Lu Heqiu's actions just now were very cool—he publicly refused the invitation to the trial!

Isn't this outstanding?

"You guys are really enjoying the show."

"Do you need my help carrying your things?"

As soon as Lu Heqiu opened his mouth, Ai Tutu handed him the things in his hand without any politeness, pulled Lu Heqiu outside, and kept muttering to himself.

"Come on, come on, tell us what just happened."

"How come even members of the Inquisition and the Black Vatican are here!"

"Aren't you a member of the Hunter's Alliance?"

Lu Heqiu snatched the things from Mu Nujiao's hands, and after hearing Ai Tutu's words, she added a sentence to Lu Heqiu.

"TuTu, he's not a member of the Hunter's Alliance; to be precise, he's from a private hunting lodge."

Lu Heqiu chuckled and hailed a car by the roadside. Only after getting in and driving towards the Mu family's location did he speak again, saying, "Yes, I am a hunter mage from the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds."

"I just received a simple task, but I never expected it to turn out like this..."

Lu Heqiu vividly recounted his discovery of the Black Vatican to the two of them, but omitted the part about the time stop, since no one would believe such a story anyway.

"The Black Church's Black Beast?"

"It wasn't a curse..."

Mu Nujiao glanced at Ai Tutu beside her without saying anything, and did not continue. Ai Jiangtu would not take the initiative to tell Ai Tutu about this kind of thing, and she had no need to tell her.

It's good that Ai Tutu has maintained this childlike innocence.

Seeing that she didn't intend to press the matter further, Lu Heqiu didn't continue speaking either. He simply smiled and let the matter drop. Only Ai Tutu kept asking for details.

Lu Heqiu told her some less scary things, and Ai Tutu reluctantly got out of the taxi after it stopped.

"I need to go to the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds to submit my mission."

"Why don't you all just leave us here?"

Mu Nujiao nodded, pointed to the phone in Lu Heqiu's pocket, and then pulled Ai Tutu into the Mu family's house.

Lu Heqiu knew what she meant; she simply wanted to ask Ai Tutu some questions in a private chat that were not suitable for Ai Tutu to know. However, Lu Heqiu had no intention of looking at his phone at the moment.

Because the panel that hadn't been touched for so long suddenly changed.

[Host: Lu Heqiu]

[Magic-based systems: Spatial, Lightning]

[Talent: Time Stop (Effect: 1 minute) (Maximum 3 times within 24 hours)]

[Currently available characters: Ai Tutu (40% success rate for re-invitation), Mu Nujiao (10% success rate for half-hearted acceptance)]

[Unclaimed Rewards: Increased Time Stop Effect, Third Stage of Mental Power, Lightning-type Spirit Seed]

The improvement of Ai Tutu goes without saying.

This kind of story, with its slightly heroic undertones, is what Ai Tutu likes to hear the most. After witnessing it firsthand, her improvement is inevitable. What really surprised Lu Heqiu was Mu Nujiao's improvement.

It's no longer about jumping back and forth between one and two, or two and one.

Instead, it surged!

It reached a height of double digits.

"...Does Mu Nujiao also like stories like this?"

"That doesn't seem right?"

"Even simple liking shouldn't cause such a significant increase in affection level. Could it be...?"

Lu Heqiu stopped looking at the numbers on the panel and instead picked up his phone from his pocket and glanced at it. Mu Nujiao had already sent him a message!

[Mu Nujiao: I'm planning to hire a few hunter mages to search for demons and monsters in the surrounding suburbs for training. Are you available?]

[Mu Nujiao: There are no members of the Mu family.]

Lu Heqiu stared at the second sentence and immediately understood why Mu Nujiao's favorability towards him had increased. The real reason wasn't how many members of the Black Vatican he had eliminated, but rather...

He declined the invitation from powerful figures!

In Lu Heqiu's eyes, it was an unwillingness to give up freedom.

But Mu Nujiao didn't think so. She believed that Lu Heqiu should rely on his own efforts to succeed, rather than relying on powerful forces to grow, which best suited Mu Nujiao's self-reliant nature.

This choice was witnessed by Mu Nujiao herself, so naturally her favorability towards her would increase!

[Lu Heqiu: When?]

Mu Nujiao replied to the message almost instantly.

[Mu Nujiao: There are four days left this weekend to prepare. If you'd like to go together, I'll send you the destination in the next couple of days.]

[Mu Nujiao: I can only offer a reward of 200,000. If we encounter demons, the spoils will be split equally.]

[Lu Heqiu: Okay.]

Such an opportunity was practically handed to Lu Heqiu for free. After dealing with the Black Vatican, he wasn't in such a hurry for money.

Everything is available except for the Nebula Magic Artifact.

Once the Black Vatican's bounty arrives, he will be able to make up for this last deficiency.

What does he need?

It was an opportunity to be alone with Mu Nujiao.

Now, here's your chance!

Mu Nujiao herself brought it to the bed!
