Full-Time Magister: Dark Throne

Chapter 52 Exchange Students and the People in the Pavilion

As He An left the main campus and was preparing to return to his rented apartment in Jinyuan, his cell phone rang in his pocket.

"He An, you should be out of the Three Steps Tower by now, right? Come to my office. This year's exchange student training is about to begin." Dean Xiao's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

He An pushed open the door to the dean's office and found that there were already six or seven figures standing inside.

The moment he stepped inside, the people turned around simultaneously, and seven pairs of eyes fell on him, their gazes carrying a complex mix of emotions: scrutiny, curiosity, examination, and undisguised hostility.

"Who do you think has such a big face that even Dean Xiao dares to leave you waiting in his office? Turns out it's the big pervert from the Qing Campus!" A handsome, effeminate man dressed like a noble young master teased.

"No wonder, no wonder at all!" a burly man with a bear-like build chimed in with his gruff voice. "He easily defeated the top twenty archmages on the Fire Ranking, how could he possibly take us seriously?"

The two of them mocked He An in unison, and a plump and charming woman next to them couldn't stand it anymore, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.

"Fu Yunshu, Dong Yu, that's enough. The junior only went to the Three Steps Pagoda to cultivate for seven days and didn't know about today's meeting."

"Nie Jinyu, you've got a way with words." Fu Yunshu sneered. "You should remember, he specializes in the Shadow element! Let's see how long you can stay in the top ten of the Shadow Ranking before he tramples you down."

The burly Dong Yu didn't say anything more, but simply crossed his large arms over his chest and nodded slightly.

A gentle-looking girl spoke in a soft, sweet voice, "Everyone, please stop arguing. We're all representing Pearl Academy on this exchange program; we're a team, aren't we?"

"Who's on his team? Does this team need someone like him?" Fu Yunshu retorted dismissively.

The remaining three exchange students did not speak up or participate, but simply watched the farce unfold in silence.

"Ahem." Dean Xiao coughed lightly, breaking the awkward silence and allowing the air in the dean's office to circulate.

"As you all probably know, our opponent this time is Xiamen University." Dean Xiao looked around at the seven exchange students standing in front of the table and said with a smile.

"Xiamen Academy has always been inferior to us in terms of strength, Dean Xiao, you don't need to worry." Fu Yunshu raised her chin slightly and said with a hint of arrogance.

"I'm worried about people like you," Dean Xiao sighed, and continued, "The path of magic is vast and mysterious, and we must be cautious and humble in order to continue on this long journey."

The exchange students at Xiamen University this year are a bit different from previous years, and there are two you should pay attention to.

One is the team leader for this year's exchange students from Xiamen University. He has a high talent for water magic, so please be careful. The other is a guest from a foreign university; her strength is extraordinary, so don't underestimate her because of her appearance or anything else!

Fu Yunshu pulled out a folding fan from somewhere, quickly walked a few steps to stand next to Dean Xiao, and gently fanned herself in a flattering manner.

"Hehe, Dean Xiao, my father and you have been friends for many years, and you know my strength. If I succeed in the exchange student training this time, that artifact I mentioned last time—"

Dean Xiao pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and looked at the six exchange students at the table. "How about this? Let's take that item as the reward for the student who makes the greatest contribution to this exchange program at Xiamen University."

Fu Yunshu abruptly stopped fanning herself, her smile freezing on her face. She clenched her hands and said, "Dean Xiao, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate. That artifact—"

Dean Xiao's face turned cold.

"Fu Yunshu, that artifact belongs to Pearl Academy, and its use is my decision as the Dean of Pearl Academy." Dean Xiao raised his eyes, looking calmly at Fu Yunshu. "Do you and your father intend to replace me as the Dean of Pearl Academy? Or do you think you can't win first place in this exchange program based on your own abilities?"

"No, no." Fu Yunshu trembled slightly, cold sweat pouring down her forehead, and hurriedly said.

"snort!"

Dean Xiao snorted coldly, withdrew his gaze, and turned to speak gently to the other six exchange students: "I won't go into too much detail about that artifact. I can only say that it is an artifact that would be attractive even to super-level mages."

"It's getting late. Go back and prepare yourselves. We'll set off tomorrow."

"This is the Dark Moon Pavilion. It is said to have been formed by an ancient scholar who absorbed the yin energy of the moon over many years. This pavilion is a treasure trove of cultivation, just like the Three-Step Pagoda of the Pearl Academy. It is the pillar of the academy. As long as it is there, the academy will always be at the forefront," Professor Qiu Yuhua, who was leading the group, couldn't help but introduce.

As a professor of magic history at Pearl Academy, he usually enjoys studying these magical legends and strange objects.

"Unfortunately, this Dark Moon Pavilion only has excellent effects on dark magic such as shadow magic. Other elemental and dimensional magic can only receive a slight boost to their cultivation speed." Professor Qiu Yuhua shook his head with some regret.

"It sounds completely inferior to the Three-Step Tower of our Pearl Academy!" Fu Yunshu teased.

"What do you know, you brat? Every sacred cultivation site in the world is a magical treasure left to us by our predecessors who exhausted their efforts and resources! How can there be any distinction between them?" The old professor Qiu Yuhua was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at her.

Next, the old professor began to tell everyone about the heroic deeds of ancient humans, how hard-won human magical civilization was, and how future generations must strive to improve themselves and cultivate magic in order to resist demons!

Fu Yunshu paid no attention to these clichéd words and curled her lip in disdain.

Our Mingzhu Academy is the number one university in Shanghai and the number two university in the country!

What's wrong with being a little arrogant when visiting a university that's not even famous nationwide?

If I don't go crazy, wouldn't my time at Mingzhu Academy have been wasted?

He An looked at Fu Yunshu with some surprise. This guy was dressed like a noble young master, so why did he seem to have such low emotional intelligence?

"There seems to be someone in the pavilion?" Nie Jinyu asked hesitantly, pointing to the pavilion.

Everyone turned to look.

A solitary figure sat in the pavilion, gazing at the distant sea. She seemed to blend into the summer scene of the pavilion, her purple dress blooming like a delicate purple flower, releasing its mysterious and alluring fragrance.

A black veil covered her face, which was caressed by the passing breeze.
