Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne

Chapter 1 Diligence is Deadly

"yawn."

Stretching, Bai Mo glanced at the time: 2 a.m.

With the national civil service exam just two weeks away, he plans to practice some more questions.

Just as he picked up the pen, everything went black before his eyes. Then, his perspective shifted, and he saw a figure lying motionless on the table.

For no apparent reason, he knew he was dead.

Then the view continued to move upwards, revealing her own room. Next came a city with dim lights, a blue and white planet, endless darkness, and a dazzling starry sky.

Then came a bizarre and fantastical scene, and after that, four planes appeared in his field of vision, one bright and one dark, one prosperous and one desolate.

Immediately afterwards, the camera zoomed in on that bustling plane, but Bai Mo didn't notice—

As his soul passed through that desolate plane, a distorted and ever-changing divine light merged into his soul as it flew towards the prosperous plane!

……

"Look closely, this man's name is Xiao Shuai..."

Standing on the playground of Zhilan Magic High School in Qingyuan District, Shanghai, Bai Mo was idly scrolling through short videos while waiting for the awakening ceremony to begin.

They ignored the gaze of their homeroom teacher, Su Ning, and even less so the principal's impassioned speech under the national flag.

Why is our Bai Mo so awesome?

Because his surname is Bai, the Bai family of Shanghai, and coincidentally, the Bai family owns shares in this high school.

Of course, this should only make the homeroom teacher pay a little more attention to his words and actions, which is why Su Ning did not stop his behavior.

Firstly, it was just a small matter. She also felt that the principal's speech was too long, especially since he had been giving this speech for three years.

Secondly, the student in front of him named Bai Mo has quite a reputation; everyone in the neighborhood knows him, and he just wants to lie down and relax.

Unfortunately, the grades haven't fallen behind, leaving the teachers at a loss for words.

"Cat News Flash reports: A magic high school student in Cheung Chau suddenly died in class; the cause is......"

Looking at this news report on my phone, I saw one after another about an excellent novice mage who died suddenly because he spent too much time cultivating at night, resulting in sleep deprivation. He spent his days attending classes and practicing controlling and releasing magic, which led to excessive diligence and energy depletion. Coupled with the pressure from his parents, he also died suddenly.

Bai Mo shook his head, as if he were seeing himself in his previous life.

Just roll it as much as you want!

Of course, these little-known news platforms tend to exaggerate, fabricate, and take things out of context.

However, he was too lazy to think about it; why should he refute videos that aligned with his own ideas?

This novice mage's motto, "Diligent to the point of death," is clearly an anti-involution strategy.

It's quite strange that even novice mages can die from exhaustion. Although the physical constitution of novice mages is not much different from that of ordinary people.

Therefore, involution is undesirable.

As for Bai Mo, who refused to compete in the internal competition, how did he get into the magic high school?

Bai Mo himself was also puzzled by this. He hadn't put in much effort during his nine years of compulsory education, so how did he manage to get into high school?

When the results came out, he thought about it for a long time and finally concluded that it was because the other students in the same district were not as smart.

Besides, he thought that since his family background was good and his older brother was talented, he had no need to work hard or be too fussy! He should leave some free time to enjoy life.

However, now that he had come to this extraordinary magical world, Bai Mo felt that it was still very necessary to awaken and become a mage.

He may not be strong, but he cannot be weak!

More importantly, this world is too dangerous and not suitable for reckless behavior.

Therefore, compared to his classmates who attended various intensive classes, premium courses, and training camps, he seemed quite pretentious.

Despite all this, he still managed to get the top score in the entire district and eventually entered high school.

Bai Mo could only conclude that his peers might not have fully developed their potential yet.

As for the rumors that he was slacking off and lying down, Bai Mo can only say that rumors stop with the wise.

Besides, it's none of their business whether he talks nonsense with his family or not.

He doesn't work very hard, but he's not quite ready to give up.

Moreover, if you don't make the most of the time before becoming a mage, you won't have as much time to play after you become a mage.

The more Bai Mo thought about what he would have to face after becoming a mage, the more he cherished the carefree days that had passed.

Surely no one has been attending tutoring classes and extracurricular activities since birth?

He wasn't refusing to play, he just couldn't bear to give up his current leisurely time.

After all, knowing the changes that would occur throughout the entire world, he was well aware of the future fate of the Demon Capital.

The young lady in the short video changed dances three times, just as the principal on stage finished his speech.

"Students, line up! When your name is called, come forward and awaken your magic!"

The homeroom teacher, Su Ning, shouted, instantly energizing the drowsy students.

Hearing the noise, Bai Mo also turned off his phone. The black screen reflected a handsome, carefree man with a high nose and dashing features.

Put your phone away and look straight ahead.

At the front of the line, in front of Su Ning, the tall homeroom teacher with short, ear-length hair and silver-rimmed glasses, was a black stone about the size of a basketball.

Suning read out the first name:

"Bai Mo!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo stepped out of the group, where his classmates looked at him with curiosity, amazement, or disdain, while Su Ning wore a pained expression.

Everything was within his sight.

In just a few steps, Bai Mo had arrived in front of the Awakening Stone.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the Awakening Stone resembled a compass, not a perfect sphere. Moreover, within its blackness, there were faint, multicolored glimmers of light.

When the homeroom teacher saw him approaching, he said:

"Begin by placing your hands on it and calming your mind."

She didn't have any particular expectations for Bai Mo. Unlike the Dongfang family of Shanghai or the Mu family of the capital, the Bai family of Shanghai didn't use a single legal system as their lineage.

Bai Mo nodded slightly upon hearing this, and extended his slender, fair right hand, placing it on the Awakening Stone.

The cool touch quickly calmed his tense and excited mood.

With his eyes closed, aided by the fluctuations emanating from the Awakening Stone, his mind visited his spiritual world for the first time.

It's pitch black here; something is needed to light it up.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when, in the very center of the darkness, Bai Mo saw a glimmer of silver light.

"silver!"

"It's a space-based system!"

Meanwhile, Bai Mo's classmates also saw the dazzling and mysterious silver light emanating from the awakening stone in front of him.

It illuminated his entire being.

And it immediately recognized its identity—

Space-based!!!

Although these children who grew up in Shanghai have seen more of the world, seeing a space system that is unique in thousands of miles is enough to amaze them!

The commotion in Class 1 of Grade 11 also attracted the attention of other students nearby.

Then came another round of shouts and commotion; the Chinese people have never lacked interest in watching a spectacle.

Class teacher Su Ning looked at the student who had opened his eyes, her face still showing surprise. But a flash of silver light in Bai Mo's eyes quickly drew her attention back.

Therefore, based on her basic understanding of Bai Mo, her duty as a teacher compelled her to give the following instructions:

"Bai Mo, you have awakened the space element and have great talent. I hope you will work hard in your cultivation and not let yourself down."

"Okay, Ms. Su, please continue."

Bai Mo smiled, greeted them, and returned to the group.

The students around him were all openly or secretly eyeing him, wanting to get closer to him. But because of the rumors they had just heard about him, they didn't dare to approach him.

"Is he Bai Mo?"

"Yeah, I heard he's a real loner. Everyone else goes to the teacher's after-school tutoring classes, but he doesn't."

"Oh……"

Bai Mo didn't take these discussions to heart.

Instead, he was wondering what his two parents would think if he awakened his spatial abilities.

I guess it's to urge him to practice diligently.

Just like how parents in a previous life told their children to study hard.

Cultivation is something that needs to be done, but cultivating on your own initiative and being urged or instructed by others are two different things; the feeling is different.

His main concern was that he might suddenly be forced to fill the schedule in a single day.

People always need an adaptation process.

Moreover, Bai Mo felt that it was best to proceed step by step.

His brother is only 23 years old and already a high-level mage. He has a bright future and can definitely shoulder the responsibility of the family! He can just be an ordinary nobody.

Just kidding, the point is... well, I just want to make the arrangements myself.

However, the old man has a lot of things to deal with every day, and the old woman is also busy helping people play mahjong.

They probably wouldn't even notice something as trivial as him awakening today, right?!

Shaking his head, Bai Mo temporarily shifted his attention to the students who were awakening on the playground.

He didn't care who had awakened a powerful magic-based character; he just wanted to see if there were any pretty girls.

It's good for me to see, to soothe my eyes, and to relax my mind and body.

To Bai Mo's surprise, this search actually led him to the right place.

Next to their classroom, a slender and graceful girl was slowly walking towards their classroom's Awakening Stone.

Her temperament is like a secluded orchid in a valley, quiet and serene. She walks with grace and ease, exuding a natural charm.

Her long, flowing black hair was tied up with a blue ribbon, swaying back and forth in the breeze as she moved.
