Full-Time Magister: Dark Throne

Chapter 35 Gu Yue? Fang Yuan!

"Next, let's welcome our twelve main characters to the stage. They are the freshmen of this year's Summoning Department!"

Dean Xiao didn't say much, and didn't even ask other school leaders to go on stage to say those tired platitudes that everyone was already used to hearing. He went straight to the point.

Led by Dean Xiao, the twelve new students of the Summoning Department walked to the front of the platform amidst the cheers of the audience.

"Perhaps many of you are dissatisfied. They are all freshmen who were admitted to Pearl Academy together, so why did the Summoning Department become the focus as soon as they entered the academy?"

Why do girls prefer summoners with cool summoned beasts?

Why do people think that summoning mages are stronger than other mages of the same rank?

It doesn't matter, defeat them, and you'll be the real stars of the day!

Dean Xiao stood on the stage and spoke loudly.

As a successful education expert, Dean Xiao clearly knows how to ignite the passion in young people.

These few words caused the entire arena to erupt in excitement. The freshmen below the stage were all eager to get on stage and defeat all twelve summoning freshmen!

"So, which of you wants to go first?" Dean Xiao asked the twelve summoning students with a smile.

"I'll go first. Since they all think they're stronger than the summoned beasts, let them see my Crimson Rock Beast!" Li Hu, standing at the head of the group, said with a smile.

"Very good, very energetic. The first leg is yours!" Dean Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

Li Hu strode towards the center of the arena, where his opponent had been waiting for a long time.

"Li Hu".

"Liu Jun".

The two stood in the center of the arena, bowed to each other, and assumed their fighting stances.

"Dimensional Summoning!"

The radiant moonlight shone around Li Hu, and seven moonlit stars, under Li Hu's control, quickly formed a star trail.

With Li Hu's conscious control, the star track landed on the ground in front of him, slowly tearing open space.

A black dimensional rift appeared beneath Li Hu's feet. On the other side of this rift was another world, and a scorching aura surged out from the dimensional rift.

"Click!"

A large, bright red hand reached up to the edge of the dimensional rift.

The next instant, a humanoid summon beast with a completely crimson body emerged from the dimensional rift.

It stood before Li Hu, its bald head topped with two enormous, crescent-shaped horns. Its entire body was formed from flowing magma, with its vital parts covered in thick rock armor. Its two sturdy forelimbs gripped a giant rock pillar shaped like an axe, while its hooves nervously pawed at the floor of the arena, leaving scorched marks.

"Moo!!!!"

A long howl pierced the sky, announcing the arrival of this creature born from the fiery hell.

"It's a Crimson Rock Beast!"

"That's really impressive!"

"Judging by its size, it's almost approaching the level of a warrior-general demon, isn't it?"

The audience below the stage became excited; this was a rare summoned creature.

"Ice Lock - Bone Crusher!"

As the first brave warrior to step onto the stage alone, Liu Jun was certainly not someone to be trifled with. The moment the Crimson Rock Beast appeared, his Ice Star Chart had already been completed.

Four incredibly thick ice chains appeared out of thin air and swiftly locked onto the limbs of the Crimson Rock Beast.

"Snapped!"

"Crimson Rock Beast, Raging Fire Lotus!"

Li Hu ignored the ice magic Liu Jun released and instead snapped his fingers crisply.

The Crimson Rock Beast opened its massive maw, and sparks flew out with the scorching air surging from the depths of its throat.

A slightly ethereal, reddish-yellow fire lotus materialized in the center of its large mouth, slowly rotating.

The fire lotus suddenly flew out, leaving a brilliant red trail, and crashed head-on into the four intertwined ice chains.

The moment the two collided, the ice lock emitted a piercing "sizzle" sound. The solid ice was visibly scorched, and layers of bursting bubbles were stirred up on the surface. Eventually, it was completely evaporated, and a hazy white mist rose into the air.

Although the reddish-yellow fire lotus had dimmed somewhat, it still had some energy left and flew towards Liu Jun.

The old professor of the Summoning Department looked at Li Hu with satisfaction. This was the son of his old friend and also the student he had personally mentored.

Under his careful training, this servant-level Crimson Rock Beast can now barely unleash the demonic skill of a warrior-level Crimson Rock Beast: Raging Fire Lotus.

Even with only one-tenth or one-twelfth of its power, it is still superior to the mid-level spell of the opposing ice mage.

"Water Defense - Guardian!"

Several water hoses were woven into a shield and stood in front of Liu Jun to block the fire lotus.

Outside the barrier, Gu Han, the light-element teacher, frowned slightly and decisively released a mid-level light-element spell just before the fire lotus was about to hit Liu Jun.

"Radiant Shield!"

An arc-shaped golden holy shield, engraved with Sanskrit runes, appeared in front of Liu Jun, blocking the remaining fire lotus.

"It seems that the eldest son of the Liu family in Songcheng is nothing special after all—" Li Hu said disdainfully, looking at Liu Jun, who had exhausted his magic power and was kneeling on the ground.

"If all the opponents are like this, then there's no point in playing!" Li Hu shouted arrogantly at the freshmen on the field.

The freshmen, who were also magical geniuses, were not going to tolerate him and formed teams to challenge him.

Even a powerful beast like the Crimson Rock Beast couldn't withstand the relentless onslaught.

"Moo!!!"

The Crimson Rock Beast roared, but no more powerful fire lotuses could spew from its gaping maw; only a few scattered sparks still flickered.

Ultimately, Li Hu was eliminated after reaching the 20-person mark.

Yang Zhi was next to take the stage. He teamed up with the Ghost Wolf Beast to defeat four opponents, but he faltered when facing his fifth opponent and was forced to leave the stage.

Unlike the next cohort that Mo Fan was in, this cohort has many more new students in the Summoning system, and their strength is also somewhat stronger. Dean Xiao's target of 100 people was achieved when the tenth person was in the cohort, and the remaining two only need to do their best to raise the numbers.

The last summoning-type freshman to appear was somewhat different; he was a black-haired man wearing a straw hat and a retro robe.

After he removed his straw hat, a huge discussion erupted inside the fighting hall.

"It's him?"

"Gu Yue Fang Yuan!"

"I heard that the dean of the Imperial Academy had a huge argument with Dean Xiao over him, and they parted on bad terms!"

The well-informed students of Mingzhu University gasped in surprise. They hadn't recognized him at all, since he had been hiding his face under his straw hat the whole time!

"Who is he?" He An turned to Ding Yumin beside him and asked.

Although He An boasted that he had read many magical stories since childhood and knew a lot about magic, he was completely clueless when it came to knowing famous people.

"His name is Fang Yuan, and his innate talent is called Gu Yue. He is ranked twenty-first on the talent ranking list. The effect is that he can summon special summoned beasts from the ancient and barbaric era. Pang Lai, the number one summoning mage in the country, wanted to take him as his disciple, but he politely declined." Ding Yumin patiently explained to He An.

Huang Xingli, standing to the side, was speechless. Ever since He An appeared, Ding Yumin seemed to have become a completely different person.

After Fang Yuan took off his straw hat, an arrogant voice came from the plant-type designated seating area.

"Fang Yuan, I'll be your opponent!"
