Full-Time Magister: The Ruler of Wind and Rain

When I first enrolled, Bocheng, nestled in the southern mountains, was still considered summer. But time flies, and autumn leaves swirled and unfurled in the wind, landing on the shoulders of the boy under the trees.

The boy lay on the green grass beside the playground, but if someone observed closely, they would find that although he looked calm, he was not sleeping comfortably in the bright afternoon sun, but was doing something repetitive, tedious, but necessary: ​​meditation.

No wonder magic high school is more comfortable than high school in the scientific world. Two months ago, on the first day of school, the homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng, explained the basic principles of magic to all the students in the first class.

How many steps are involved in casting a spell? Three steps: First, open the refrigerator door; second, take the spell out; third, release the spell...

No, no, no, the steps to casting magic are actually simpler than that.

The first step is meditation.

The second step is to take control.

The third step is to release it.

The step of meditation, as the name suggests, involves emptying one's mind and allowing the mental world to manifest. For ordinary people who haven't awakened magic, the mental world is empty, but for awakened mages, stardust of the corresponding magic type will appear in this empty world. In other words, as long as Wang Yu closes his eyes and sinks into his mental world, cyan and blue stardust will appear in the boundless mental world. Each stardust currently contains seven star particles, which move randomly within the stardust. Wang Yu has tried to observe them, and it seems that the trajectories of the star particles are completely chaotic.

Getting back to meditation, for any awakened mage, as long as they can see stardust and the lively, luminous stars within it in their spiritual world, they have completed their meditation.

Entering a meditative state is quite simple, but for the past two months since the start of the semester, the only homework for all magic students has been meditating. They meditate continuously, meditating until they are exhausted every night, and then continuing to meditate after class the next day. This cycle repeats endlessly, making meditation extremely tiring.

Wang Yu read in the book that although meditation, from the perspective of a mage, is simply staring at stardust in the spiritual world, in reality, this process involves using the mage's spiritual power to continuously nourish the stardust. This is why meditation is so energy-consuming, and even when meditating while lying down, the fatigue from the spiritual world will carry over into the real world.

In fact, after practicing for about half a month, Wang Yu became very adept at controlling the voice in his mind and allowing himself to smoothly enter the spiritual world. However, this may also be a matter of talent. A month into the semester, only about a quarter of the students in Class 8 of the first year of high school were able to successfully enter a meditative state. No wonder the teacher assigned that everyone should meditate every day for the first two months of high school.

After meditation, the next step is control. Control is a step that is easier said than done. First, one enters a meditative state, and then tries to use one's mental will to control the stars, making them stay in specific positions. If the relative positions are appropriate, they can form a star track, transmitting the power of magic from the mental world to the mage's body, transforming it into real magic, and releasing it. This is the final step in the three-step process of magic: release.

Because meditation was so incredibly boring, Wang Yu gave the techniques of controlling and releasing energy in meditation different names: sensory blockage, controlling the sphere, and releasing energy.

This is so weird, I absolutely cannot share it with anyone else.

After truly mastering meditation, Wang Yu began to explore controlling the stars. In his mental world, he first imagined himself as a giant hand, trying to use his will to grasp the frolicking stars and make them stand still!

However, the stardust was like a basketball hitting overalls; he could only hold it for a moment before it slipped out of his grasp, leaving Wang Yu in his mental world sighing in dismay. He had no choice but to try grabbing another stardust. But after several attempts, Wang Yu discovered that the road ahead was long and arduous. Whether it was wind-type or water-type stardust, none of the 14 stardust were easy to deal with. Whether he forcefully grabbed or pressed them, or gently waited for them to come to him, or even tried to communicate with them, these stardust darted away at lightning speed, causing him considerable headaches.

There was no other way. Wang Yu knew that this was a process of slowly accumulating experience points, and that he couldn't rush it. Besides, it had only been two months. While many of his classmates hadn't even mastered meditation, he had already tried to control two star elements. His progress was quite fast. He would just have to take it slow.

……

The weather was getting colder and colder. Although Bo City was located in the south and wouldn't experience howling north winds and snow-covered, icy conditions, the damp chill of the south without heating was still quite unbearable. Fortunately, Wang Yu hadn't spent much of the money he earned from his holiday job, so he went to the mall one weekend and bought himself two sets of winter clothes. At this moment, he was wearing a coat on the rooftop listening to Mo Fan complain that in this temperature, girls couldn't even wear short skirts and stockings anymore.

He, Mo Fan, and Zhang Xiaohou didn't climb onto the rooftop in the dead of winter morning out of boredom; they came to continue practicing their control. Controlling stars requires a more conducive environment than meditation. Meditation, frankly, can be done simply by lying down in bed, but control requires the mage to concentrate their mind completely without the slightest slackening. Therefore, the rooftop in the cold wind became a cheap and effective place for practice.

However, mastering control isn't something you can just practice at will; it has a strict requirement: abundant mental energy. According to statistics from Wang Yu's circle of friends, most students can practice control for about an hour a day. Any longer and problems easily arise. This is because control, in essence, is like a bull-like collision between mental energy and the stars—a contest to see who gives in first. Therefore, each failure in control during practice will leave one mentally exhausted. Once one's mental energy is nearly depleted, one must stop immediately, otherwise dizziness, blurred vision, tinnitus, and anxiety will set in. In this state, even if one wants to continue, it's difficult to enter a meditative state; the mind will be filled with a cacophony of noise.

However, perhaps due to his innate talent, Wang Yu's daily practice time limit was about three hours, an hour more than Mo Fan, the original protagonist of that world. Therefore, after learning about his classmates' practice times, he decided to allocate two hours each day to wind magic and one hour to water magic. Even so, Wang Yu's progress in mastering wind magic was quite rapid. By the end of the third month of the first semester, he had already mastered six wind magic points, and casting spells was just around the corner. Wang Yu decided to dedicate all his time to wind magic for the next week or two; releasing magic was the key!

……

Aside from the significant time spent on meditation and self-control each day, students still have to attend classes. Unfortunately, Wang Yu, who was practicing self-control in his dormitory, checked the time after finishing his training today and saw that it was 7:58! The first class wasn't until 8:00 sharp!

Wang Yu quickly jumped out of bed, threw on some clothes, kicked open the dormitory door, and sprinted towards the teaching building! Today's class was on at 8 AM, taught by Zhang Jianguo from the next class. Zhang Jianguo, relying on his class's student Xu Zhaoting, who was incredibly arrogant, would mention "Look at our Zhaoting" in every class. If he was late, he was sure to be…
