Full-Time Magister: The Ruler of Wind and Rain

The day after winning the championship, Wang Yu's team of four went to the Qing Campus of Mingzhu Academy. Their preparatory class was very small, occupying only one classroom and a few training rooms on the Qing Campus. They could also attend classes on the Qing Campus, so their need for facilities was not great.

But their dormitory conditions are much better than those of the students in the Qing Campus. While other dormitories in the Qing Campus house six people per room, they have single rooms, which is incredibly comfortable.

However, it is said that even among the freshmen and seniors in the Qing campus, many rent apartments in nearby residential buildings and apartments, not to mention the students in the main campus who are more affluent. So the six-person dorm rooms are not that crowded.

It's mid-July now. After winning the championship, Wang Yu returned to Bo City to complete his transfer procedures. Upon hearing that he had been admitted to the preparatory class of a key university, just like Mu Ningxue had been, many forces in Bo City immediately took out their bank cards, ostensibly as sponsorships, but in reality, it was a kind of advance betting to befriend the future genius mage. After all, in a small place like Bo City, a mid-level mage is already considered a master, and there are only one or two high-level mages. What reason is there not to befriend a genius like Wang Yu, who is almost certain to break through to the mid-level?

In short, after completing the transfer procedures, Wang Yu found an extra 800,000 yuan in his account, which, combined with the previous amount, brought the total to one million. "This truly is a magical world," Wang Yu thought. "I've only been cultivating for a year and haven't taken on any missions, how did I suddenly earn a million? It's like magic!"

Wang Yu, who had money in hand, naturally wouldn't cling to it like Scrooge. He did the math: eating in the cafeteria and living in the dormitory, his living expenses in Shanghai for a year wouldn't exceed 50,000 yuan. A shield magic item that could withstand low-level magic and servant-level demons would cost around 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. So, he would keep 800,000 yuan and leave the remaining 200,000 yuan for the orphanage. After all, the original owner of this body was born and raised here, and he should repay them in some way.

With a bank card containing 800,000 yuan in cash, Wang Yu returned to Shanghai and began spending all his time at the training grounds practicing his magic. He had to commend Pearl Academy for this; they had pooled vast resources to build a massive magic training ground with over 1,500 independent training rooms. Each room seemed to integrate and solidify spatial and chaotic magic, offering ample space where one could freely cast spells without fear of damage or leakage of their progress. After his first visit to the training rooms, Wang Yu curiously researched online and discovered that the construction cost of such facilities was extremely high—each room easily costing millions or even tens of millions of yuan. With over a thousand rooms, that must be worth tens of billions!

Furthermore, Mingzhu Academy offers a huge perk: the training rooms, built at a cost of tens of billions, are open to all Mingzhu students free of charge. They can use them for free simply by making a reservation through the school's online system.

In short, Wang Yu has finally found a place where he can freely unleash his water magic and catch up on what he had missed. Back in Bo City, to find a place to test his water magic, Wang Yu had to sneak up to the dormitory rooftop in the middle of the night on rainy days to practice casting spells. Now, he can practice without worry.

In short, in about a month, Wang Yu had become quite proficient at casting the water-based beginner level two magic: Water Defense - Guardian. Although it was not as good as the wind magic, he could cast a powerful defensive spell in about two seconds, and he could cast six or seven a day, which was already quite good.

His wind magic is now even more monstrous. He has mastered the level 3 Wind Track - Shadow Strike, to the point that he can draw it backwards with his eyes closed without making a mistake. He's also constantly experimenting with the various wind elemental magic casting techniques in the notebook given to him by Zhanfeng. For example, he can use Wind Track to create an area surrounding his opponent, directing the wind tracks inwards. This allows him to use several wind tracks to achieve a similar disruptive effect as Ice Vine - Freeze or Ground Wave - Slow. Another example is breaking down the casting of Wind Track, repeatedly generating multiple short wind tracks with Wind Track - Flash Step, while leaping between these tracks. This not only effectively prevents the opponent from predicting his movements but also prevents more skilled wind mages from using his cast wind tracks to approach him.

What interested Wang Yu most was a technique marked as difficult to practice in the notebook: completely distorting the star trails of basic magic to achieve entirely different magical effects. For example, it recorded a basic variant of wind magic: Wind Blade. This spell consumes mana comparable to a level three spell, but its attack power is relatively limited. Throwing a Wind Blade only has the power of a level one Fireball. If one wields a Wind Blade, its power is relatively higher, since a weapon composed of wind elements is primarily about sharpness. However, this means completely abandoning the agility of a wind mage in exchange for a lackluster close-combat ability.

Zhanfeng, who wrote this note, added: "Without defensive magic, a beginner mage attempting to fight using Wind Blade is practically suicide. If a mid-level mage awakens defensive magic, it means their wind magic is at least mid-level. At this point, Wind Disc - Tornado's attack power is far superior to Wind Blade, making it a rather awkward magical technique. Its only advantage is that it looks cool and can fool young girls."

Hey! You need defensive magic to fight in close combat, isn't this magic tailor-made for Wang Yu? Thanks to Zhan Feng for leaving a star map of releasing wind blades in his notebook, Wang Yu followed suit and used his near-peak initial stage control to "persuade" the wind elemental star to play along with him in an absurd play within two or three days.

"Wind Blade!" With a loud shout from the training room, Wang Yu conjured a bluish-green wind blade in his right hand and hurled it fiercely at the target. The wind blade flew dozens of meters in an instant and embedded itself in the target. After obtaining the results of his experiment, Wang Yu wrote a few lines in his notebook:

"Wind Blade travels at an extremely high speed when thrown, far exceeding that of Fire Blast, Ice Vine, and Ground Wave. It may even rival the Lightning Seal of the Lightning type."

"As expected, its piercing power is very strong. The wind blade, which is more than ten centimeters long, was able to completely penetrate the stone target. Its power is not bad. It seems that what the book said is true. After mastering offensive magic, spatial, sound, and wind magic are the sharpest offensive methods among all magics."

"Throwing accuracy requires repeated practice. It's not like placing a wind track on the ground or just putting a water shield on a large target. This requires a lot of effort to practice."

"The damage after the attack hits is not very good. The wind blade will dissipate rapidly after penetrating the target, with little aftereffect. It may be okay to attack small targets, causing a penetrating wound, but it may not have a good stopping effect when attacking large targets several meters in size."

"In short, you still need to practice."
