Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Next, Wang Yi and Teachers Da and Xiao Yu began their normal cohabitation and teaching life.

The two teachers had different learning plans. Yu Qiang had Wang Yi do a ten-minute brainstorming session to memorize and organize the knowledge points, then she would give a ten-minute explanation, and finally, they would do twenty minutes of oral and listening practice.

Yu Wei's approach was much simpler and more direct: she focused on memorization, supplemented by explanations, while occasionally answering Wang Yi's various questions.

For example, Wang Yi learned about the spatial magic that counters spatial magic—spatial oscillation—through Teacher Xiao Yu.

Within the range of spatial tremors, spatial magic cannot be used normally.

However, this magic crystal is a specialty of America, and there are very few in China. Compared with other space magic crystals, its rarity is naturally several orders of magnitude higher, and it is not so easy to obtain.

Having just obtained so many precious magic crystals from the Night Watch, Wang Yi felt he was not yet qualified to make any further demands, so he simply kept the magic in mind and put it aside for the time being.

Meanwhile, the cultivation resources promised by the Night Watch Army have also been delivered. A large box of magic crystals, mainly from mid-level magical beasts with extremely large populations and average magical effects, are being used for cultivation and replenishing magic power.

Wang Yi's courses are all 40 minutes long. Each teacher teaches two classes from Monday to Friday, and doubles the number on Saturdays and Sundays.

Yu Qiang and Yu Wei were quite relaxed, since they only had one and a half hours of teaching assignment on normal working days, and it was no big deal for them to work overtime on weekends, each teaching for three hours.

But for Wang Yi, it was a bit too busy.

During the day, I attend school, and in the evening, I have after-school tutoring. At the same time, I can't neglect my spiritual practice. My daily life is incredibly fulfilling.

Fortunately, brainstorming really works; the photographic memory effect is no exaggeration, which doubled Wang Yi's learning efficiency.

Moreover, after absorbing the mental barrier, Wang Yi's mental strength was enhanced once again. What was originally enough for three hours of deep sleep is now only two hours, saving him a lot of time.

Excluding time for sleeping, eating, resting, and entertainment, Wang Yi spends about 18 to 20 hours a day studying and cultivating, which can be described as extremely diligent.

A month passed quietly in such days.

That afternoon, Wang Yi was performing a tense surgical operation when he was suddenly notified to go to the principal's office.

Wang Yi threw the surgical instruments into the blood-soaked iron tray, removed his gloves and surgical gown, and regretfully gave a final cry of life to his classmate who had "voluntarily" become a patient because he lost rock-paper-scissors. Then he stepped out of the operating room.

The student, who had just been under local anesthesia, looked at the wound on his lower abdomen that was constantly moving and healing, and was so excited that he almost shed tears. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would never participate in any gambling again, not even rock-paper-scissors. If he did, he would cut off his hand.

I was so lucky, it almost didn't turn out complete.

Wang Yi arrived at the principal's office with practiced ease, knocked on the door, and entered.

"Wang Yi is here." Bai Jingting gave Wang Yi a kind smile, then pulled out a document from the pile of files on his desk and handed it to Wang Yi.

Wang Yi took the document and saw that it was a document titled "Notification Regarding the Temporary Transfer of Students from Your School for Duties".

Wang Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, flipped directly to the last page of the document, and saw that the signature was indeed that of the Candlelight Army.

"So formal?" Wang Yi was quite surprised.

Although the Night Watch and the Candlelight Army had already agreed that he would be given an internship in the army, Chen Guang directly and privately informed Wang Yi about the Night Watch, and asked Wang Yi to ask for leave himself, keeping the whole process a secret.

Unexpectedly, the Candlelight Army did the opposite, actually sending such a formal document directly to the school.

"To be more formal, we can record it directly in your file." Bai Jingting glanced at the document in Wang Yi's hand and explained with a smile, "By adding the beginning to your illustrious resume, the Candlelight Army clearly wants to give you honors openly and legitimately, while also branding you with the Candlelight Army's mark."

Well, this is also an advantage of a powerful army like the Candlelight Army; their honors are visible. After all, the honors of special branches like the Night Watch are generally unknown to outsiders.

Wang Yi reopened the document and carefully browsed its contents.

It was a very formal application notice, signed not by a particular officer, but by the Candlelight Army. It detailed the benefits to be given to Wang Yi, including a basic daily allowance of one thousand yuan, and during the mission, depending on the level of the mission, he would receive three, five, or even ten times the allowance.

There are even rules for distributing magic crystals obtained from extra hunts during missions, as well as regulations for disability compensation and death benefits. Of course, confidential information such as mission time, mission location, and mission requirements are not specified.

"Are the Candlelight Army's benefits this high?" Wang Yi asked, somewhat surprised, as he looked at the various terms and conditions.

While he was with the Night Watch, he didn't receive any daily allowance. Of course, the magic crystal resources and benefits the Night Watch provided were far superior to any mission allowance of several thousand or tens of thousands.

If you really convert that into monetary terms, it would be hundreds of millions.

"Soldiers risk their lives, so no amount of treatment is too much." Bai Jingting explained, "The Candlelight Army is clearly giving you preferential treatment, starting with the rank of colonel. However, given your abilities, receiving the rank of colonel is only reasonable, and even a bit of a disadvantage."

After all, Wang Yi is not a formal soldier, so it's not appropriate to give him too high a treatment all at once.

"Looks like I'll have to ask for leave again." Wang Yi glanced at the date on the document. He was leaving in two days to go to the military airport in Lanling City, the one where he had met up with Chen Guang before. The mission would last for half a month to a month.

"No, this time you're an overseas personnel dispatched by the school in cooperation with the military, and you've received an honor. If you'd like, we can directly convene the entire school's faculty and students for a commendation ceremony for you," Bai Jingting said with a smile.

"No, Principal, I'll leave quietly." Wang Yi shook his head, not wanting to make it public knowledge.

Having finalized the arrangements for the upcoming training with the Candlelight Army, Wang Yi didn't linger. After a brief chat, he turned and left.

Watching Wang Yi's retreating figure, Bai Jingting couldn't help but sigh. He hadn't expected Wang Yi to come into the sights of the military's top brass so early.

It can only be said that if it weren't for the spatial rift incident last time, which directly exposed Wang Yi's hidden strength, even as the principal, he would not have been able to fully grasp the extent of Wang Yi's power.

After the loss of the Heavenly Extinction Army, the military's strength was also greatly reduced. In the past ten years, it has only been able to barely recover some of its strength, and it has obviously increased its efforts to cultivate genius mages.

Wang Yi's rise to prominence was truly a matter of timing and fate.

It's just unclear why, out of so many countries in the world, there are several alliances of nations that can rival China in strength, yet that spiritual beast insists on targeting China and stirring up trouble.

With monsters stirring within and other countries and evil organizations secretly targeting it from the outside, China may appear as solid as a rock, but it is actually walking on the edge of an abyss.

Bai Jingting only hoped that genius mages like Wang Yi could grow up quickly, shoulder important responsibilities, and stabilize the country.
