Full-Time Magister: The Ruler of Wind and Rain

It was evening in the boys' dormitory building.

At Wang Yu's request, Tianlan Magic High School, which still had some extra room in its dormitory building, assigned him a single room. The good news was that he could continue living alone; the bad news was that the dormitory was on the 7th floor—a height where they could conveniently avoid building an elevator.

Fortunately, he had awakened the wind element, so maybe he'd be able to climb stairs faster in the future, Wang Yu thought to himself.

Just after dinner, Mo Fan, who lived in the next dormitory, sneakily knocked on Wang Yu's dormitory door. After entering, he quietly closed the door and asked with a serious expression, "Why did you make that face when you woke up this morning?"

Wang Yu didn't waste any more words with him: "Stop pretending, I saw the Thunderfire Mage Mo Fan."

"Huh?" Mo Fan's voice was initially high-pitched, then he quickly lowered it: "Holy crap, Brother Yu, Daddy Yu, don't scare me! Tell me honestly, besides you, who else saw it, and who else did you tell?"

"Put your mind at ease," Wang Yu said, half-lying on the bed. "I glanced around then, and I'm sure no one else saw you. They all gathered over at Class 7."

"Phew~" Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, I was originally planning to play dumb to take advantage of the situation."

"Go be a pig." Wang Yu kicked him toward the door. "But I advise you to keep it a secret. Being born with dual abilities is a rare talent nationwide, according to the books in the library. But you're too weak right now. If you expose yourself too early, some force might try to force you to join."

"Okay, thanks, Brother Yu." Mo Fan rarely thanked him sincerely. He was about to open the door and leave, but then turned back and said with an embarrassed smile, "Brother Yu, you have to keep this a secret for me."

"Sure," Wang Yu rubbed his fingers together and laughed, "Give me the hush money."

"Get lost, get lost, I don't have any money. Give me something real." Mo Fan wasn't annoyed.

Wang Yu was prepared, putting on a serious expression that made Mo Fan feel uncomfortable before he stated his condition: "I can keep it a secret." Wang Yu deliberately lowered his voice and began to build suspense: "But, I require you to..."

"What do you need me to do? When I, Mo Fan, achieve great success in my cultivation, I will do anything for you, even go through fire and water!" Mo Fan seemed confident, but he was a little nervous inside, afraid that his friend would make some unreasonable request.

"I demand that from now on, when I'm around, you must not surpass me in your role as Boyi," Wang Yu casually added the second half of his sentence.

"Oh, that's it? No problem, no problem. Let's pinky swear for a hundred years, and never let it go..."

Mo Fan readily accepted this seemingly simple promise, but little did he know that this would set the stage for Wang Yu becoming Mo Fan's inner demon and nightmare on his journey to impersonate Boyi.

However, just as Principal Zhu had said before, there were quite a few visitors tonight. The first one to knock on the door was Mu Bai, who pretended to be Boyi... and his nominal uncle but actual father, Mu He.

Wang Yu didn't have much of a problem with Mu Bai. After all, pretending to be a wise man was a man's greatest need after he had eaten and drunk his fill. Why bother with a defeated opponent in the field of pretending to be a wise man? But Mu He was different. Having read the plot carefully, Wang Yu knew from the beginning that this school board member of Tianlan Magic High School was actually Hu Jin, the Grand Deacon of the Black Vatican! Faced with the high-ranking members of the Mu family, the local tyrants of Bo City, and the troublesome and extremely dangerous members of the Black Vatican, Wang Yu, who didn't have much strength at the moment, could only try his best to feign compliance with him.

"Young man Wang Yu, your awakening this morning has truly opened our eyes! In all these years, the Mu family has only produced one genius, Mu Ningxue. My nephew, Mu Bai, is completely outshone by you!" Mu He smiled sincerely, but Wang Yu dared not relax in the slightest. He first put on the business smile he had when facing various chiefs in Africa in his previous life: "President Mu, you flatter me. I am able to attend Tianlan Magic High School thanks to the Mu family's donation to the scholarship fund."

"Hey, how much money can the fund give you? With a magical talent like yours, you absolutely mustn't encounter any obstacles in the early stages of your cultivation due to life's pressures!" Mu He's expression management skills are truly impressive; they're worth learning from. He waved his hand, and Mu Bai, standing beside him, handed over an envelope stamped with the Mu family crest, which Mu He personally gave to Wang Yu: "Young brother Wang Yu, this is a small token of the Mu family's help for you."

Wang Yu weighed the contents of the envelope for a moment, then opened it and took out a credit card. Mu Bai explained, "This is an identity card that only members of the Mu family can have. You can use it to open the gates of the Mu Family Manor. In addition, this is also a bank card, and ten thousand yuan will be automatically deposited into your account every month."

"I hope this will serve as a testament to the friendship between you and our Mu family." Mu He had hoped to see the sudden joy of wealth on Wang Yu's face, but the result was somewhat unexpected. Wang Yu handed the card back to Mu Bai almost without hesitation.

"My friendship with the Mu family," he said, shaking the envelope bearing the Mu family crest, "is enough to prove it. I'm very happy to receive this gift. As for the financial aid, I don't think I need it for now. The scholarship fund is enough to support me until I turn 18. I hope that after graduating from magic high school, I can use it to knock on the Mu family's door."

Mu Bai still looked somewhat surprised, but Mu He had already understood the meaning behind Wang Yu's words. Wang Yu didn't want to accept the Mu family's sponsorship now, but rather "wanted" to use his magical talent to negotiate a better price with the Mu family after graduating from high school. Since it was only three years anyway, Mu He, who hadn't yet received a mission from Bo City, thought that the Mu family would definitely be the one to offer him the best conditions in Bo City. So Mu He smiled and waved goodbye to Wang Yu: "Young brother Wang Yu, you have ambition! Mu Bai, you should learn from me. We've troubled you tonight, no need to see us off."

After closing the dormitory door with a forced smile, Wang Yu let out a long sigh. Dealing with the Black Vatican, even if they came under a public identity, was still incredibly stressful. As for refusing the Mu family's funding, that was something Wang Yu had already figured out. After all, three years, ten thousand a month, would only amount to a mere 360,000. That would be a lot for an ordinary person, but for a future genius mage (self-praise), 360,000 wouldn't even be enough to hire him for a single service. Tying himself to any family for such a small amount of money would be an extremely unwise move.

The same scenario repeated itself several times tonight. Zhou Mingjun, from the Zhou family, another prominent family in Bocheng, also came to "visit" Wang Yu with gifts, hoping to provide him with some financial assistance in exchange for Wang Yu joining the Zhou family in the future. Wang Yu, as before, only accepted the gift box bearing the Zhou family crest as a gesture of goodwill, and returned the actual gifts, which was somewhat like buying the box and returning the pearl.

Next up was Deng Kai from the Hunter Alliance. As a board member of Tianlan Magic High School, he also extended an invitation to Wang Yu on behalf of the Hunter Alliance. Wang Yu naturally politely said that they would talk about it later, and at the same time asked Deng Kai to do him a favor and help him register a hunter identity. Deng Kai naturally did not refuse such a small matter.

Next up was Yang Zuohe from the Magic Association. He actually came to Wang Yu with a blank letter of intent. As long as Wang Yu signed it, he could immediately join the Magic Association after graduation with a starting monthly salary of 30,000, with no upper limit based on mission commissions. For a mage in a small city, this was already an excellent job. However, Wang Yu still politely declined. Yang Zuohe also knew that a mage with such talent was unlikely to stay in Bo City. After chatting for a while, he took his leave.

The last person to arrive today was dressed in military uniform, with a tall and straight posture and dark skin, the same color as Wang Yu, who had just finished setting up a stall for the summer. He looked like a military magistrate who often served in the field. When Wang Yu opened the door to invite him into the dormitory, he found that unlike the previous people, he did not bring beautifully wrapped gifts, but instead brought a notebook.

"Hello, Wang Yu! I am Luo Yunbo, the squad leader of the third field squad at the Xuefeng Mountain Post Station of the Bocheng Military Headquarters." He shook hands firmly with Wang Yu. "I have come to hand over a notebook on orders from Commander Zhan Kong of the Bocheng Military Headquarters."

"A notebook? I confirm I received it. Please convey my thanks to the leader." Wang Yu had a rough idea of ​​what was inside the notebook.

Luo Yunbo arrived and left quickly. After he left, Wang Yu figured there wouldn't be any more guests that night, so he locked the door and began to examine the contents of the notebook. As he expected, the notebook contained numerous exercises and techniques for using wind magic. Presumably, Zhan Kong, the leader of the military mages in Bo City, had heard about the extraordinary phenomena Wang Yu had witnessed during his awakening and had taken a liking to his talent. Wang Yu, who was well-versed in the original text, naturally accepted the notebook without hesitation. After all, Zhan Kong was a high-level, fully-trained wind mage, and his experience and guidance would definitely benefit Wang Yu greatly, helping him avoid some detours.
