Full-Time Magister: The Ruler of Wind and Rain

The number of courses in the second semester of the first year of high school is even less than that in the first semester. This is because students who are just beginning to enter the realm of Dharma Masters have a strong need for meditation time. Therefore, the school usually arranges for teachers to teach the necessary classes in the morning and then leave the afternoon and evening for students to meditate.

That's why this semester flew by; the weather went from cold to warm, and then from warm to hot, and the annual assessment was just around the corner. This annual assessment was a nightmare for many, especially those students who had mastered very few stars, because they might be expelled from the school. There was no other way; magical education was not a game. It was a kind of mercy to quickly expel students who were not suitable for learning magic and let them find their own way.

For diligent and persistent students, today will be their day to prove themselves. Especially for some academic high-achievers who are good at pretending to be superior!

As far as Wang Yu knew, besides himself, only Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, and Mu Bai in the class had mastered magic casting. A few others had mastered seven stars, but hadn't yet been able to connect them into a star trail for casting. Apart from them, the remaining 70-80% of the students were currently at a level of 2 to 6 stars. Those who had only mastered 2 stars were very likely to be expelled from the school.

Other students will be divided into classes based on their academic performance. Those assigned to the top classes will also be allocated some time for cultivating Stardust Magic Artifacts. Wang Yu had only seen introductions to Stardust Magic Artifacts in books, but those things were too expensive, costing several million. Apart from waiting for the school to assign them, he really had no other way to get his hands on them.

Bringing his thoughts back, Wang Yu immediately spotted the legendary, pretentious Bo Yi Fan Mu Bai, who had just stepped out of a black luxury car. Today, the guy was dressed in all white, with plum blossoms embroidered on his shirt. He looked noble yet understated and elegant, clearly a heart hunter.

Unfortunately, Wang Yu is currently the only universally acknowledged school heartthrob and academic genius at Tianlan Magic High School. After all, girls' affection for a gentle, fair-skinned, and handsome boy is limited, but their love for a strong, lean, and super handsome academic genius is endless!

"Mu Bai, you'd better do your best today. You should know that our Mu family allocates some cultivation resources to its younger members every year. The allocation of these resources depends on which family contributes the most, and also on the cultivation performance of the younger generation. You have to make our small family, which is almost forgotten by the Mu family, proud." Mu He, the school board member of Tianlan Magic High School, personally drove Mu Bai to the assessment, probably partly to cheer him on and partly to boost his own reputation in front of the other school board members.

"Uncle, don't worry!" Mu Bai was full of confidence at first, but then he seemed a little deflated. "It's just a pity that Wang Yu is in this year's class. He released his magic almost a semester earlier than me. I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress him."

"Just do your best to show your cultivation results," Mu He comforted his nephew, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Mu Bai nodded in agreement, then seemed to suddenly remember something, looked around, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, I heard that Mu Ningxue will also be coming to Tianlan Magic High School today?"

"Yes, today is a very important day for Tianlan High School. Mu Ningxue just happened to be back from her summer vacation at the Imperial Capital Academy. I discussed it with the clan leader and invited her, the flag bearer of Bo City, to give a speech at Tianlan Magic High School. We also took her to see our annual assessment and evaluate the quality of this year's students," Mu He said.

Mu Bai immediately became excited, and Mu He saw through his plan at a glance. He chuckled and patted Mu Bai's shoulder, "Don't worry, I'll take her to see your assessment. She'll go, and the clan leader will go too. If the clan leader sees how hard you're working, he might allocate more resources to your family. You know how many disciples our clan has, and the outstanding ones are countless. If you're favored by the clan leader and get a few extra Stardust Magic Artifacts, it will benefit you immensely!"

Upon hearing the words "Stardust Magic Artifact," if Mu Bai were a game character, his excitement would immediately reach its peak! After all, every mage has a limited amount of time to cultivate. A beginner mage can only meditate for about five hours before reaching their limit (Wang Yu, who meditates for twelve hours a day and still hasn't reached his limit: *smirks*). The remaining time is a period of fatigue during meditation, and continuing to meditate can easily lead to mental breakdown and backlash on cultivation. The Stardust Magic Artifact can shorten this period of fatigue, making it an extremely valuable item! If a top student can possess it for two or three months or even a year, while others don't, then the person with the Stardust Magic Artifact, if not exceptionally skilled, is at least invincible among their peers.

Meanwhile, in the dormitory on the other side of the school, Mo Fan was still cramming for the last minute to practice his fire element control. After all, he had focused all his energy on lightning last semester. Even though he had twice the time to control it as well as the average person, his fire element control was only enough to cast the first-level basic magic: Fire Sizzle - Burning, and he was not very proficient at it (Wang Yu: That depends on who you are comparing yourself to).

This resulted in Mo Fan being almost the last to arrive among the students dressed smartly on the playground.

The annual assessment at a magic high school is naturally not a written test. Although magic theory is also tested, it is a trivial subject that accounts for only five points out of a hundred. In this world's education system, magical practice is the most important source of points.

So, to put it simply, the annual assessment uses the Star Sensing Stone to examine the cultivation progress of all students after their awakening over the past year, and then assigns them to classes accordingly. Speaking of the Star Sensing Stone, it's a black pebble-like object, about the size of a watermelon, floating on a stone pier. The method of use is very simple: place your palm on it, enter a meditative state, and activate the stardust. The examiner can immediately judge the student's current cultivation level by observing the brightness of the Star Sensing Stone.

"Remember what I told you? The strength of your stardust's brilliance reflects the level of your stardust magic power. Class 8 students, the time has come to prove the fruits of your hard work this year. Unleash your stardust brilliance!" Class teacher Xue Musheng said passionately.

Soon, the school leaders and the examiners for the annual assessment finally arrived. The examiners were in groups of three, all teachers from the Student Affairs Office responsible for discipline—the kind of teachers most students feared. Under their silent intimidation, the students quickly formed 30 square lines.

Before such an important assessment, the principal naturally gave a speech, followed by a address from the school board. Mu He went on stage and spouted a bunch of nonsense, which the students weren't particularly interested in, until…

"Today is also a very special day." Mu He paused deliberately, "because we have invited the most outstanding female mage in Bo City. She was admitted to the Imperial Capital Magic Academy at the age of 15, and I think many of you have already heard her legend... That's right, she is Mu Ningxue! Let's welcome this magical genius who should have been in the same year as you, but has already been admitted to university!"

It has to be said that if Mu He didn't work for the Black Vatican, he would probably be an authority in the field of shopping mall sales. Wang Yu looked up at the presidium and, sure enough, saw a girl dressed in snow-white with silver hair.

But most people weren't as calm as Wang Yu: "My God, it's Mu Ningxue! I heard that when she awakened her ice-type power, it froze the ground beneath her feet into ice blocks." "That's all rumors. Mine is the most accurate. I heard she only took eight months to learn the basic ice-type skill - Ice Vine." "Eight...eight months?? My God, I've been in school for a whole year and I've only mastered five stars! How can the difference between people be so huge?!"

Even Mo Fan, who was standing next to her, was stunned by Mu Ningxue's cold and noble aura. In just three years, she had changed so much. The little princess of the past had now become an ice queen.

"Brother Fan, you should have eloped with the little princess back then..." Zhang Xiaohou sighed as he looked at Mu Ningxue, who stood out from the crowd.

"It's not too late today," Wang Yu said, looking at the stunned Mo Fan. "Both Monkey and I are wind-type. We can do what we did back then, each of us leading away the pursuers on one side, and you can elope with her again."

Indeed, Wang Yu discovered that in this timeline, his predecessor had also participated in Mo Fan's unsettling plan to elope with Mu Ningxue. With this in mind, it was hard not to tease Mo Fan.
