Full-Time Magister: The Ruler of Wind and Rain

The final selection match for the Pearl Academy preparatory class was scheduled to begin at 10:00 AM, but the team members from both sides arrived as early as 8:00 AM. It seemed that everyone attached great importance to this match, especially the students who were assigned to Group C due to their age. They had figured it out: although they had mastered more and stronger magic in the arena, it was purely due to the accumulation of training time. The Pearl Academy preparatory class had always preferred to admit geniuses. If they could not win the championship and directly obtain an admission spot, even if they made it to the finals and won the runner-up position, the examiners might not necessarily give them one of the remaining 15 precious spots.

Although Wang Yu also wanted to win, his motivation was purely to take the championship, not to compete for a place in the admission program. Wang Yu knew in his heart that his outstanding performance throughout the selection process, including his mastery of the wind element, had practically secured him a spot in the preparatory class. However, Wang Yu still wanted to fight for it; after all, being the champion always made him look more impressive.

Before the match, Wang Yu, as the team captain, still needed to observe everyone's condition. As mentioned earlier, Wu Shulan attached great importance to this competition. She showed off her emerald green bracelet: "After we advanced to the finals yesterday, my family sent me a demon-slaying tool, which can slightly make up for our team's lack of offensive capabilities."

"Wow, Sister Shulan, your family really values ​​you! They even gave you such an expensive magic tool." Cheng Hui's eyes widened with joy. "This means our team will have four chances to attack with the magic tool, which is definitely much better than before."

Xie Ze also summoned his new magical artifact from his mental world: "It's because I made it to the finals that I obtained a magical artifact. Now I can catch up with the captain and Sister Shulan."

Fu Liming seemed a little lost in thought, so Wang Yu went over and patted him on the shoulder: "What's wrong, Liming? What are you thinking about?"

"No...no, Captain," Fu Liming seemed startled by Wang Yu, "I was just thinking, if only my family could give me another magical tool, then I, I could contribute more to us."

"It's alright," Wu Shulan comforted him. "Our families are all in different circumstances. Besides, your family has already given you four magical artifacts so that you could participate in this selection. You have the second most magical artifacts among all the students participating in the selection, second only to the Zhao family."

Wu Shulan said that the Zhao family member was named Zhao Jiu, possibly a member of a collateral branch. However, the Zhao family was quite successful in business, so even as a collateral branch member, he brought six magical artifacts to the competition. But to be honest, magical talent and combat skills can't be solved just by having resources. Zhao Jiu, despite having six magical artifacts, was easily defeated by a single fire attack on the second day of the competition because he didn't react in time to summon his shield or armor artifacts.

"Yes, Captain, Sister Shulan, don't worry, I will definitely perform at my best!" Fu Liming finally cheered up.

Without further ado, the referees, examiners, and students who had lost in the previous competition but still wanted to compete for a place in the preparatory class all came to the arena. It even seemed that the arena was open to other students of Pearl Academy today, with many students from the Green Campus and the Main Campus, as well as some outsiders who did not wear student cards.

So there's an audience today! Wang Yu was even more excited. He was a bit of a show-off, but he usually kept it to himself. Now that he was in Shanghai, where not many people knew him, he was going to really show off his abilities!

No, it's best not to reveal our dual-elemental abilities. There's a demon-based research team in this world that specifically targets dual-elemental mages. Better safe than sorry, and only show it off appropriately.

Looking around at the audience, Wang Yu tried to find a few people who appeared in the original story, but unfortunately, they didn't have his name on their heads. His search was pointless. However, he did notice one good thing about Shanghai's summer: the beautiful women were all dressed very scantily, and he could see whatever he wanted… Stop, stop! Wang Yu silently told himself, "I'm not like Mo Fan; I need to control myself." Besides, it's all big cars; what's the point of watching? Maybe I should visit a small temple to pray at instead.

Wow, there really is one! Wang Yu actually saw a little girl who looked to be only about ten years old in the audience. This magical world is truly amazing. A little girl like her, instead of playing with dolls and watching cartoons at home, is actually here to watch a magic battle. She must be from some powerful force and has a real passion for magic!

Since the time hadn't come yet, Wang Yu's team and their opponents could only wait offstage. As time went on, everyone became a little nervous. The longer they waited, the more anxious they became. Wang Yu knew that comforting others at this point was pointless, and it wouldn't ease their tension. So he simply sat down cross-legged and began to think about the fighting strategy for this match based on the existing information.

Among the opponents this time, the strongest is undoubtedly the fire mage from Group C. That woman is said to be from the Dongfang family, and she has now reached the third level of the initial stage of fire magic. So far, she has revealed a shield magic item and a boot magic item. Next is a water mage. Although she can only use level one magic, her casting speed is incredibly fast. Could it be the legendary water magic rapid casting talent? Then there is the light mage with a full set of magic items. Although he can only use level one magic, he has a set of golden armor magic items, a boot magic item with incredibly fast movement speed and a long duration, and a slash magic item that can continuously attack multiple times. This thing is not cheap. As far as Wang Yu knows, a slash magic item that can be used multiple times is already extremely expensive, and one that can be used continuously is even more expensive. So this guy is the richest in this competition, crushing his opponents purely with the quantity and quality of his magic items.

The other two kids in Group A are relatively weak. One can barely cast Wind Track - Swiftness, and the other's Ice Vine - Freeze is choppy and easily defeated with the slightest interference. These two combined only have two shield magic items and one foot magic item, so they're not a big problem. But the other three are indeed more troublesome than the last. The good news is that their opponents are actually just like them, lacking offensive means. As long as Wang Yu's team can go all in at the start and take down the fire mage from the Eastern family, the rest should be manageable. It's just a continuous slash magic item, right? Fu Liming carries four magic items, three of which are defensive; he can withstand three hits without any problem.

After he figured out his tactics (referring to an all-in opening) and communicated them with his teammates, it was almost time to begin. The referee invited both teams into the arena, but instead of announcing the start of the match, he handed over a microphone: "Dear students of Pearl Academy, all the contestants who have finished their matches, and all the mages from the Magic Association and the Hunter's Alliance, we are about to witness the final magic duel of the Pearl Academy Preparatory Class Enrollment Competition. Although the 10 participating students are still novice mages, after several rounds of selection, we believe that these two teams will bring us a wonderful match! Now, please let the captains of both teams give their remarks to their opponents or the audience!"
