Full-Time Magister: My Talent is Pretty Good

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

The sound of the wind rustling through the leaves echoed in the forest, and Lu Jin'an sped through the woods, carried by the wind's power.

It was incredibly fast. Lu Jin'an guessed that even if the giant-eyed rat used all its strength, it wouldn't be able to touch him in his current state.

Keep in mind that this speed was achieved using only a small amount of magical energy. If he were sprinting at full speed, the effect of his dash would be even greater.

Lu Jin'an felt it was a bit outrageous. Although he had never seen anyone use magic, he had read the original work. This speed seemed a little wrong, didn't it?

But I didn't investigate it too deeply, since it was a beneficial thing, so I just regarded it as a gift.

Lu Jin'an wasn't far from Xuefeng Mountain Post Station to begin with, and with his rapid pace, he would arrive in no time.

He waved his hand to dispel the wind magic on his body from a short distance away and started walking.

Once you reach a place where you can see the Snow Peak Mountain post station, you don't need to worry too much about demons anymore, as military mages often patrol the area.

There are also hunters coming and going; if ordinary demons dared to come to this place, they could drown from a single spit.

As Lu Jin'an walked, looking at the enormous object not far away, he couldn't help but sigh, even though his vocabulary was limited.

"Wow, this is really amazing. This is the first line of defense protecting Bo City. You can't even see it coming out from inside. It's really something else once you get outside."

Two towering mountain peaks stand majestically in the distance, and the Xuefeng Mountain Post Station lies between them. On the tall, thick stone gate walls, earthen-yellow runes flow.

Watchtowers stand atop the stone wall, one every ten meters or so, each manned by a military mages on patrol.

With a sigh, Lu Jin'an slowly walked towards the secret door he had used to leave the city, gave the password, and re-entered the human world.

The same guard who opened the gate was the same one who had been there when they left the city. He glanced at Lu Jin'an and saw that he was covered in mud and smelled of rats.

Somewhat surprised, once you step outside the city gates you enter the world of demons and monsters, and encounters are inevitable. Although this person was wearing a mask and sunglasses, he looked and sounded quite young, yet he was unharmed after encountering demons and monsters.

To be able to come back alive, I don't know if it's due to real skill or just good luck.

  

It's important to know that most people travel in groups. If you go out alone, unless you're a mid-level mage, you're unlikely to survive if you encounter demons.

But the guard didn't say much. He'd seen this kind of thing many times and was used to it. He closed the hidden door and returned to the registration desk.

Lu Jin'an stepped out of the secret door and looked at the military mages and hunter teams coming and going around him. His tense nerves gradually relaxed, and he couldn't help but sigh.

A place with living people is more suitable for him. The desolate environment outside the city is not only a hardship, but also requires him to be constantly on guard against demons.

He wasn't in a hurry to go back; he still had a mission to complete. Not far away, there was a building where the Hunter Alliance's transit station was located at the Snow Peak Mountain Inn.

Lu Jin'an went inside. There were many people, mostly hunters. The situation inside was not much different from what he had imagined; it was quite rudimentary compared to the ones in the city.

Only basic services are available, such as accepting and turning in quests, and buying magical items...

Without lingering, I handed the purple flowers from my waist pocket to the receptionist to submit my task. After settling the payment, I left the transfer station.

There's a good amount of money, around 5000. Although the mission doesn't require combat, it's just simple errand running, and it's not far from the Snow Peak Mountain Inn, so it's unlikely to encounter any demons.

But since it was a mission outside the city, into the world of demons, the danger was self-evident, so the reward was reasonable.

After receiving his payment, Lu Jin'an strolled around the Xuefeng Mountain Inn. To be honest, the scene inside was quite different from what he remembered.

Besides the military fortress and hunter transit station, there were also some simple shops.

Most of them sell magical tools, healing potions, exorcising powder, and small survival items.

Of course, there are also some simply decorated guesthouses and places selling daily necessities.

In short, this Xuefeng Mountain post station, while lacking the tranquility of city life, exudes a sense of tension typical of border areas.

It was filled with a touch of everyday life, after all, such a lively atmosphere is inevitable in places where people live.

He wasn't in a hurry to go home; he didn't want to go back smelling so bad, not only because it would be unpleasant, but also because it would inevitably worry his family.

Lu Jin'an found a place to take a shower, bought a change of clothes, and rinsed off the filth. He ate a quick meal at the Xuefeng Mountain Inn before heading back.

It was almost five or six o'clock when he got home. His parents hadn't come back yet. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Xiaoyan glaring at him angrily.

Just as he was about to explain, Lu Xiaoyan began to complain.

"Hmph! Did you sneak out to play? Why didn't you take me with you?"

Lu Jin'an covered his forehead. This little devil, but he could have guessed that this would happen. He recited the speech he had prepared in advance.

I promised to watch TV with him, and that finally calmed this little devil down.

After dinner, Lu Jin'an watched TV with Lu Xiaoyan. He wasn't idle either; while watching TV, he controlled his wind magic to lift a disposable cup full of water.

The water glass floats from the table to the coffee table, and then from the coffee table back to the table, in a continuous cycle, with only a few drops of water occasionally falling out.

This is a simple cultivation method, but the effect is quite obvious. Lu Jin'an has gone from squeezing the water cup flat at the beginning to now occasionally losing control of the cup full of water.

The changes during this period were significant, and his ability to control his own magic also steadily improved.

It was almost time, so Lu Xiaoyan said goodnight and went back to her room. Lu Jin'an yawned and sat up from the sofa.

The water glass slowly floated into his hand, and he gulped it down in one go, then crushed it and threw it into the trash can.

Lu Jin'an turned off the TV, which was still playing anime, and went back to her room from the sofa.

Instead of resting, he sat on the bed and meditated instead of sleeping, which he discovered while watching videos.

Magicians don't actually need that much sleep; light sleep combined with meditation can restore their energy.

This might not mean much to others, but it had a significant impact on Lu Jin'an, allowing him to meditate for twice as long as the average person.

While doing this at night isn't as good as just sleeping, it significantly reduces daytime meditation time, saving a lot of free time.

Time passed little by little, and Lu Jin'an repeated this routine: taking on missions and leaving the city during the day, and meditating at night.

I take a day or two off now and then, and spend some time with my family.

Summer vacation ended quickly, and Lu Jin'an and Lu Xiaoyan returned to school.

Since Lu Tianming didn't have time this time, Lu Jin'an had no choice but to take a taxi to the school. Sitting in the car, he couldn't help but think about what he had gained in the past few weeks, and he felt very happy.

Although his cultivation level didn't improve much, he made a lot of money. Most importantly, he "resurrected" 14 slave-level one-eyed demon wolves.
