Full-Time Magister: Dark Throne

Outdoor training is the most important part of the exchange student experience.

The ultimate goal of the academy in training outstanding mages is to enable them to resist the invasion of demons.

Wilderness training is the best testing ground, and universities often allocate more resources to trainees based on their performance in wilderness training.

Those who perform well will receive more resources, while those who perform poorly will have their resources reduced, and the resources will be given to the more outstanding individuals.

This time, the Imperial Capital Academy and the Pearl Academy were chosen to undergo training at the same location.

Jinlin City, which was transformed into a desolate city fifteen years ago by an overpopulation of demons.

The training objective is similar to He An's previous wilderness training: to collect data on the abandoned city of Jinlin and assess whether it is still possible to rebuild it.

According to Dean Songhe, the number of demons in Jinlin City has decreased significantly, and there is no danger.

It sounds easy, but only He An knows that this old man is a huge trap.

Not to mention the madman Lu Nian of the Military Intelligence Bureau, who was waiting to turn Mo Fan into a demon-type experimental subject.

In the original story, Jinlin City also features water spiders with mind-controlling abilities, pseudo-terror demons dwelling in the city hall, and a commander-level demonic giant lizard pseudo-dragon...

Any one of them alone could easily wipe out the entire exchange student team.

If it weren't for Mo Fan's protagonist halo protecting them, these people might not even have a single bone left.

After arriving at the city closest to Jinlin City by air, the exchange student team had to reach their training location on their own.

"So, which way should we go?"

Mo Fan stared wide-eyed at the undulating mountains and forests in the distance.

"This abandoned railway should lead to Jinlin City. We can just follow it," Song Xia said, pointing to the moss-covered railway tracks under her feet while holding a map.

In the wilderness outside Anjie, the railway tracks serve as a natural navigation system; following them, one can always find the city.

"With so many of us, there has to be some rules. Usually, when we're training in the wild, there's a leader who decides how to proceed and what to do if we encounter demons."

Lu Zhenghe suddenly walked to the front of the group and gave his speech.

The implication was that everyone should elect him as the team's commander.

"If you can beat me, I don't mind if you become the captain."

Facing Lu Zhenghe, who was jumping around in the group, He An merely glanced at him and said coldly.

The entire exchange student group immediately fell silent.

No one would question He An's strength; those he defeated were the best proof.

After walking along the railway tracks for a short while, the group arrived at a dark tunnel.

The tunnel was pitch black, with no light in sight, only a chill emanating from it.

Tunnels like these are places even experienced hunters are reluctant to enter, because countless unknown species of demons lurk within.

"This tunnel is likely inhabited by demons. I suggest we cross the mountain directly and avoid them," Song Xia advised, holding a map and standing beside He An.

"The tunnel is only two kilometers long, but it will be dark by the time we get over the mountain, and it will be difficult to find a place to camp. We are all powerful mages, so there is no need to be so cautious," Lu Zhenghe immediately jumped out to express his opinion.

"Yes, climbing over the mountain is too time-consuming," some trainees agreed.

"Just go straight in," He An quickly offered his opinion.

This tunnel is indeed somewhat dangerous, but it is also an excellent training ground.

He An only ensured that these trainees would not die, not that he would protect them from any danger.

"I don't need to teach you how to form a line, do I?" He An asked, turning to the exchange student group.

"Let my Rock Golem lead the charge; it can hold them off for a while if anything goes wrong."

Zheng Bingxiao stepped forward and summoned her Rock Golem.

Rock Golems are known for their high defense, covered in rock armor, making them virtually untouchable by most demons.

It is very suitable as a propulsion machine that leads the way.

Soon the other exchange students also found their places in the group and walked into the tunnel together.

Seeing that everyone else had already entered, He An strolled into the tunnel as if taking a leisurely walk.

Keeping them at a distance from others allows them to get enough training.

Otherwise, with He An's current strength, a single word like "Stand up" would make the entire demon race in the tunnel become part of his Shadow Legion.

Young people should always be trained properly, especially the scions of these aristocratic families, who are all arrogant and ignorant.

"Watch where you're going."

He An's voice came from behind like a ghost in the empty tunnel, startling everyone.

Having cooperated with He An several times and being a high-level hunter himself, Mo Fan instantly understood.

"Old Zhao, give me some guidance on this direction."

Zhao Manyan was somewhat puzzled, but still threw a radiant light in the direction Mo Fan pointed.

Golden light traced a dazzling path in mid-air, illuminating the tunnel ahead.

Several hunched figures holding bone clubs stained with dried blood were revealed in the light.

It's unknown how many lost souls and unfortunate people had perished at their hands before this.

"They're cave demon slaves!" Jingjing, a top student from the Imperial Capital Academy, recognized the type of these demons at a glance.

"Vines and Whips!"

Seeing that the cave demon was about to attack, Mu Nujiao immediately released plant-based magic.

Vines sprouted from the ground, binding the cave demon slaves and suspending them upside down in mid-air.

"I thought it was some great demon, but it's just a few lowly scoundrels."

Mo Fan smiled and rubbed a small ball of flame in his hand, intending to let these cave demon slaves, who had long lived in the dark and cold tunnels, feel some warmth.

"Meow!!!"

The cave demon slave, hanging upside down, felt the heat of the flames in Mo Fan's hand and struggled within the vines, letting out terrified screams.

"Oh no, they're calling for their companions!"

The erudite Jingjing was pale.

Once the cave demon slaves appear, they will come in waves like the ocean until they exhaust their prey to death.

In the darkness surrounding the tunnel, tiny, eerie blue lights slowly began to appear; they were pairs of eerie blue eyes emitting a cold light.

"That's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

Mo Fan extinguished the flames in his hand and attempted to have a friendly exchange with the cave demon slave.

"Meow!!!"

The cave demon slave leader let out an angry roar and pointed the huge bone club at Mo Fan.

"Meow!"

"Huh!"

The remaining cave demon slaves raised their bone clubs and shouted in response, charging together towards the exchange student group standing in place.

"Look, you're in such a hurry again."

Upon seeing the cave demon slaves launch their charge, Mo Fan immediately changed his demeanor.

"Thousand-Pound Thunderbolt Yaksha!"

Dark purple lightning materialized out of thin air, transforming into streaks of thunder that struck the charging cave demon slaves.

"Hahaha, you don't like fire? Then you'll have to taste your Grandpa Mo's purplish-black thunder!"

"Sizzle & Burst!"

Crimson star trails appeared around Song Xia, and she threw out a small ball of fire that exploded in the center of the cave demon slave.

"Song Xia, be careful!" Bai Tingting from the group called out to warn her.

Song Xia looked back and, in the dim light of the fire, saw a strange figure raising a bone club appear behind her.

Oh no, there's no way to dodge at this close range!

Just as Song Xia subconsciously closed her eyes and awaited death.

A giant shadow nail appeared in the darkness, piercing into the shadow of the cave demon slave and freezing the cave demon slave in the moment he raised his bone club.

"What are you still standing there for? Let's go." He An's voice rang in Song Xia's ears.

Startled awake, Song Xia hurriedly caught up with the tail end of the group and rushed out of the tunnel together.

"Ahem, where's the captain?"

Panting heavily from running, Song Xia didn't see that reliable figure when she came out.

"He seems to still be inside the tunnel..."

Looking at the dark tunnel entrance, Mu Nujiao felt a little irritated.

"I'm going back to find him," Mu Ningxue said calmly, glancing at everyone.

"No."

At the tunnel entrance, He An appeared leisurely, having taken away all the demons inside the tunnel, as if he were on a picnic.

In the later stages of the game, only shadow soldiers of the same tier can provide them with upgrades.

However, the presence of a large number of slave-level demons as nourishment also helps them grow.

He An's Shadow World urgently needs this Shadow Energy to expand.
