Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 40: The Battle for Talent?

"The military wants this man. Anyone who tries to take him will have their house ransacked today!"

Zhan Kong jumped up excitedly. He wasn't just saying it casually; he really meant it.

"Born with dual magical abilities—this is undoubtedly a natural talent for dual magical abilities!"

Principal Zhu also analyzed Mo Fan's magical talent. Magical talent! This kind of talent is almost legendary.

Among those present, only Principal Zhu, Zhan Kong, and Tang Yue seemed to have the knowledge to understand. With Principal Zhu's explanation, everyone came to the understanding.

Wang Teng's gaze fell on Mo Fan, and the wheels of history began to turn, marking the climax of the Bo City chapter.

Tang Yue, who was standing nearby, was also drawn to Mo Fan. However, she quickly looked at Wang Teng beside her and saw a calm face.

Her excitement subsided. Long periods of meditation can build concentration and provide a strong resistance to information beyond one's comprehension.

Everyone else was excited, their faces flushed with excitement, unable to control their emotions at all. The leaders of various forces all glared at Zhan Kong, thinking that this guy was really spouting nonsense.

But everyone knows that they really can't compete with Zhan Kong. Faced with such a genius, they can't even recruit him. Who wouldn't feel resentful?

Given the right resources, such a genius could become a high-level combatant, or even a super-level one, in just a few years.

Whether high-level or super-level, they are all at the top of the major forces, especially the super-level ones, which are even at the level of suppressing stones.

The strength of a faction is not always determined by how many novice or intermediate mages it has.

It depends on the number of your high-level mages, or even the number of super-level mages.

If we can recruit such talent, even if it's just to befriend them, we, as the recommenders, will naturally benefit immensely when they rise to prominence in the future.

After all, not everyone can easily get to know or befriend a high-level mage, let alone a super-level mage.

This kind of good relationship is far more valuable than any money or resources.

Even if they had a good relationship normally, Zhan Kong had now become the object of everyone's resentment. Cutting off someone's path was like killing their parents.

Whether or not they could recruit Mo Fan was no longer within their considerations.

Wang Teng quietly observed this scene, and his understanding of human nature became clearer. No wonder only Zhan Kong, a high-level expert, made an appearance during the disaster in Bo City.

At this moment, even Principal Zhu was probably somewhat dissatisfied with Zhan Kong. Could it be that the school's outstanding students could be recruited based on Zhan Kong's opinion?

That's overreaching! Does that mean all the students he's trained are just there to benefit you all?

In the grand scheme of things, everyone is cultivating talent for the country, which is true. But in the smaller details, aren't they all fighting tooth and nail?

These people are seasoned veterans; a few slogans won't fool them. Strength is what matters, and when everyone's reputation is similar, strength becomes especially important.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be a situation where no one dares to talk to Zhan Kong.

Zhan Kong, whether in terms of himself or the power and strength he holds, is the most outstanding among those present; even the Mu family of Bocheng is no match for him.

After calming down, Tang Yue realized some things, so she didn't try to compete and quietly stayed where she was.

Investing in Wang Teng has already brought her unimaginable returns. Even if Mo Fan can't compare to Wang Teng, his future achievements are probably not much worse.

The leaders of the other factions must also be well aware of this, having witnessed such things before, which is why they are all keeping silent now.

But how much resentment they harbor is probably not good.

She put herself in their shoes and realized that she would also feel indignant if she were in their position. The benefits of winning them over were too great!

As the head instructor, Zhan Kong was naturally aware of the intricacies involved, but even so, that couldn't be a reason for him to let such a genius go.

As a member of the Zu family, he understood the importance of talent far better than anyone else present.

His future relations with other forces will likely be unpleasant, but he is not worried about anything. Would the strong care about the thoughts of the weak?

will not.

In this seemingly fierce competition for talent, there are actually gaps between the parties involved, and the relationship is not far from breaking down.

In the end, it was Principal Zhu who stepped in to ease the tension and suppress his dissatisfaction. After all, he would still need to cooperate with the military mages in the future, and he had to swallow this bitter pill.

As the leader of the Hunter Alliance, Deng Kai naturally doesn't need to pay attention to Zhan Kong; in fact, Zhan Kong often needs to borrow his power.

The Hunter's Alliance is essentially a loose mage organization, much freer than the military, so there are naturally no rules to speak of.

It is clearly stipulated that hunter mages must assist military mages in resisting demons when necessary. That is the rule, but how to resist them is entirely up to them.

Yang Zuohe of the Magic Association is not on the same path as the military mages at all. Although they both fight against demons, they are free to decide how to do it.

The academy is at a disadvantage here. Compared to other forces, it is a training ground for young talents, so its strength is naturally not much to boast about.

This requires acting according to the mood of all parties. Didn't you see that Mu Zhuoyun, as a member of the school board, made a big fuss as soon as he arrived at the school?

The students, unaware of what was going on, thought it was something extraordinary and joined in after being invited.

This is the result of having no strength, no power, and no resources, unlike a magic university, especially Pearl Academy, which is very powerful.

They've all suffered losses too much.

There were also some people who didn't understand what was going on, and they were cheering excitedly. They had witnessed what a genius was and seen the legendary magical talent.

The common perception is that high school graduates are all magic novices, but today there was an unexpected surprise.

Some people started talking about Tianlan Magic High School, while others were talking about Yu Ang's failure. Failure doesn't mean he wasn't excellent.

Some people were happy for Mo Fan, while others were frustrated by his victory.

As classmates, they naturally congratulated Mo Fan on his victory and showered him with compliments.

What followed was a scene where Mu Zhuoyun knelt down.

"Brother Mu Zhuoyun, you mustn't do this! You really can't do this! We don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other, so why do this? Even in ancient times, people could forgive and forget with a smile, let alone us modern people?"

Mo Jiaxing knew what was going on, so he quickly stepped forward to help Mu Zhuoyun up, and then turned to Mo Fan and said, "Mo Fan, we're all here now."

Mo Fan shrugged. Since his father had said so, and Mu Zhuoyun had also knelt down, he naturally wouldn't hold onto it anymore.

"Well said, the ancients..."

Principal Zhu seized the opportunity to interject, constantly expressing his feelings to ease Mu Zhuoyun's embarrassment, after all, this was a member of the school board and the person who contributed the most money.

He disliked Mu Zhuoyun, but since the man was genuinely sponsoring the school, the school needed the support of local powerful figures to continue operating.

In other words, it was he who spoke up. Zhan Kong, Deng Kai, and Yang Zuohe were even more pleased to see Mu Zhuoyun kneel down, and they didn't say a word at all.

The duel, which had been agreed upon for so long, is now essentially over.

"This is what a realistic person is like."

Images of the leaders of various forces flashed through Wang Teng's eyes, as did Mo Jiaxing, who was also a wise man in disguise.

He used to call him Master Mu, but today he calls him Brother Mu Zhuoyun. He always leaves room for maneuver in his actions, understanding that face is meaningless in the face of survival.

Acting impulsively might feel good at the time, but what about afterwards? Will you still be able to live your life?

Young people care about right and wrong, while adults only care about interests. This is not because they are blinded by greed, but because reality has taught them how to survive.
