Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 133 Selection Begins

Wang Teng didn't take the other party seriously at all. She was just a junior member of the Mu family, who thought the world revolved around her just because she said a few arrogant words.

If a high-level mage from the Mu clan were sitting here, he would show some respect, but that would only be respect for their strength.

Mu Tingying was so angry she couldn't speak. She really didn't have money or resources. She wasn't Mu Ningxue, that privileged girl. She only had a tiny bit of resources to cultivate.

Her status was far inferior to Mu Ningxue's. Women in aristocratic families already had a low status, and with Mu Ningxue around, there was no place for her.

Even Mu Ningxue only received family training because of special circumstances.

The focus was more on training men; this reflects the values ​​of the aristocratic class. To expect them to train female mages? That's wishful thinking.

It's only possible if that person stays in the gentry for life, and even then, resources won't be allocated for training all at once; it's all done in stages.

"Alright, stop arguing!"

A teacher from a prestigious university in the capital, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and immediately stopped them, looking at Mu Tingying with particularly unfriendly eyes.

As the one who started this whole thing, not only is he unable to handle the trouble, but he also acts arrogantly, which makes the Imperial Academy look bad.

Who among those sitting here isn't a heavyweight? Are they all deaf?

If it weren't for the special occasion, the presence of media reporters and university personnel, he would have taught Mu Tingying a lesson she wouldn't have had.

Wang Teng chuckled to himself as he cracked open some melon seeds. Did this woman really think she could throw a tantrum in any situation?

The Mu clan was merely a gentry family; it was fine for them to make a fuss within the gentry community, but if they were to actually cause trouble at the national level, their dissolution would be imminent.

It's just a bigger, fatter problem.

Their power is based on the perception of ordinary people; at the top level, they are simply the biggest fat sheep.

The state may sometimes be unable to manage everything, but that doesn't mean it won't. Those aristocratic families are major taxpayers, so they naturally have some rights, but those rights are conditional.

If he hadn't joined the Inquisition Council or wasn't an Inquisitor, he wouldn't be so confrontational, nor would he be here.

They are all high-ranking officials in their respective factions, so what does he have to be afraid of?

Especially considering his official background and the fact that his opponent came from aristocratic families, they were inherently at odds. The official background was far more powerful and influential than that of the aristocratic families, but many people subconsciously overlooked this fact.

Another reason is that the younger generation of the aristocratic families are too arrogant, which makes everyone think that the aristocratic families are very powerful.

If they're so powerful, why do they hand over a large sum of resources they've gained from their operations? Is it because they have nowhere to put them?

After the Ancient Capital Incident broke out, the Mu family avoided the matter at all costs and directly eliminated Mu Zhuoyun's branch.

Other families avoided them altogether, so even the best relationships were meaningless.

Comparing the Lu family's official background with the Beiyushan Primary Trial Council, whose actions even members of the Black Vatican dared to accept, it's clear who is more powerful.

Soon, the stage hosted a speech from the Imperial Academy, along with a detailed explanation of the selection rules for the National Academy team.

Afterwards, there was a banquet and an exchange meeting between various universities. Such a grand event is quite rare, with many participating forces.

Wang Teng ate and drank heartily, completely letting loose, while the woman sitting opposite him was so angry that she couldn't eat a single bite.

The other students at the table all looked at Wang Teng with admiration.

Everyone responded to Wang Teng's actions and enjoyed the banquet immensely.

The banquet ended around 9 p.m. Everyone is quite busy with the competition tomorrow, and there are also many contestants present, so we need to consider their condition.

on the way back.

"Wang Teng, you'd better be careful lately. The Mu family is very petty."

Wei Ming wasn't too worried, but he was afraid that the other party would resort to underhanded tactics, which would put Wang Teng at a great disadvantage.

"Heh... Let them come if they want."

Wang Teng laughed indifferently. If they dared to lay a hand on him, all the better.

Once the Black Vatican incident broke out, Mu was trying to avoid it, so how could he dare to cause trouble for a judge with such a background?

Dare to send out Super-Tier units? Anyone coming to the High-Tier level is just asking for trouble!

"It's good that you know what's going on." Seeing that he didn't seem worried at all, Wei Ming knew that this matter wasn't a problem for him.

The next day, at 9 a.m.

The central arena of the Imperial Capital Academy was incredibly spacious, with countless rows of seats and a large number of spectators.

The selection competition started today. First, we registered and were divided into groups. Then, each group had to play against each other in a round-robin format. One point was added for each win, and no points were deducted for each loss.

Another factor is the tutor's scoring; if you perform exceptionally well, you will receive a special skill point.

Finally, the participants were ranked and selected based on their points, and there were 24 spots available in this round!

The second round involved internal discussions among the five mentors to select official members and substitutes for the National Government Team, as well as the final members for the National Pavilion Team, based on the team's needs.

Seven groups have been set up in the center of the arena: Destruction Group, Defense Group, Control Group, Healing Group, Summoning Group, Assassin Group, and General Group.

These seven categories cover all types of talent needed to build a team. After all, team battles are about combinations, and if the team is not well-matched, it is very likely to lose.

For example, if everyone in the Destruction group encounters a Mind Mage, it's practically the same as being eliminated immediately.

Wang Teng went straight to the comprehensive group and lined up to register. There were very few people in this group, only about ten.

The "Comprehensive Group" signifies the strongest combat power, while the "Magic Group" has very specific requirements; otherwise, it cannot be considered the strongest.

Those in the know understand that the National Government team has already internally decided on a captain, so signing up for this group means facing the National Government team captain directly.

If you don't perform well, you're basically out of luck. The team doesn't need someone that bad. If you can perform at a decent level, that's great too, and you'll have a very high chance of being selected.

Of course, some probably took a chance, thinking that the general group, with fewer applicants and no requirement for magic majors, only looking at ability, would offer more opportunities for selection.

In addition, the test environment content differs for each group.

Ultimately, the choice rests with the five mentors, and that's the most frightening part.

After thinking it over last night, most people had already made their choices, and the registration process ended very quickly.

The crowd returned to their seats around the perimeter, awaiting the start of the competition.

"Alright, all contestants, please get ready. The competition is about to begin. The final judges for this competition will be a joint panel of five mentors."

"The first round of the competition will begin with the comprehensive group!"

"The tournament is a round-robin format, with two types of matches. One is defending your title. If you are very confident in yourself, you can defend your title until you lose the match, and then the teams will rotate. Points are calculated based on the number of wins."

"The second type is a two-on-two match, with a rest period after each game, and points are calculated based on wins."

"Regardless of the method, you must play against everyone in your group before the final ranking can be calculated."

The host began announcing the competition schedule and rules.
