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

Chapter 15 Really Can Pretend

"Let me introduce you: Ye Feng, Ye Yu, and Niu Ming. They were the original members of Team Five."

Inside the lounge, Chu Yunlong brought in three people dressed as military mages and addressed Bai Mo and the other two.

After exchanging greetings, Chu Yunlong continued.

"The patrol mission has been changed. The patrol area has been moved to a one-kilometer radius northwest of the foot of the third peak, with the objective of eliminating the demons descending the mountain. I have been reassigned by the commander to another mission for four days."

At this point, he glanced at the eleven people in the room, "For the next four days, you will follow the commands of Zhong Ling and Jiang Cheng!"

"yes!"

In the relatively smooth ride of the small truck, Zhong Ling was making arrangements for the patrol mission.

"The Fengyu Sisters are both ice mages, and Niu Ming is a wind mage. Our main task this time is to fight. We need to seal off the demons within a 1,000-meter radius, so we need to split into two teams! Jiang Cheng and I will each lead a few people."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhong Ling's gaze swept over everyone. "Night Wind and Rain, Zhao Qingying, Zhou Tianyuan! You follow Jiang Cheng. The rest of you follow me."

Her gaze swept over the remaining Shadow Mage, Light Mage, and Bai Mo, and she said calmly, "Is everything alright?"

"No!"

Bai Mo sensed something was wrong. Through the car window, he saw two identical Mercedes-Benz mini-trucks on the small dirt road, one in front and one behind.

Teams four and six? What are they trying to do?

But he soon ran out of time to think about it, as they arrived at their destination.

Normally, there are very few demons in the foothills. And it was the same now. Bai Mo and his group had just arrived at their designated patrol location and cleared out a few foolish dust raccoons and giant-eyed rats, but they hadn't found anything else for half a day.

These giant-eyed blood rats are really everywhere.

As darkness fell, a bloody storm raged within the Third Peak.

Army Commander Yang Biao led a hundred combat troops from the three peaks of Zhongjian Town, along with Chu Yunlong, a mind-based mage who was like a demon detector.

They are conducting a thorough sweep of the demons in the mountains and forests.

"Sizzle!"

"Thunder Seal!"

"Waterbending!"

In an instant, fire rained down like a waterfall, lightning flashed across the clouds, and water ribbons danced in the air.

With a well-ordered offense and defense, even if it is only rudimentary magic, once they are organized, they are unstoppable.

Meanwhile, Army Commander Yang Biao was treading on the earthen waves, restraining a giant pawed raccoon demon of general-level strength.

"Bang!"

A demonic hand, larger than a millstone and with claws that seemed capable of cutting through iron like mud, slammed heavily onto the ground.

Like a splash on the water, with a deafening roar, the broken grass and trees mixed with mud and gravel swirl and splash in all directions like water droplets!

"Tsk, quite a commotion, but you stupid thing, you're still hundreds of years away from being able to beat me!"

Yang Biao looked at the clump of dirt that had fallen in front of him and spat disdainfully. A fire was already quietly rising in his eyes.

A vibrant crimson star chart shone behind him, igniting the surrounding air. Intense energy coalesced in his fist, glowing with fiery red light.

"Fierce Fist!"

Yang Biao took a step forward, then bent his knees and knelt down, slamming his twisted right fist hard into the ground in front of him.

"Nine Palaces!"

He forcefully channeled the immense energy within his arms into the earth. The rapid infusion caused the surrounding ground to crack open!

With a shout from Yang Biao, the power that had reached its critical point unleashed a massive pillar of fire beneath the giant palm-shaped raccoon demon's feet.

One towering pillar of fire after another burst forth, like raging dragons breaking free of their cages, destroying everything within its reach—the land, the vegetation, the rocks.

After the three pillars of fire stood side by side, the ground on both sides cracked again, and six identical giant pillars of molten lava shot straight into the sky.

It formed a nine-square grid pattern, incinerating countless surrounding servant-level lesser demons. It cleared a hundred-meter-wide patch of scorched earth in this mountain forest.

The flames died down, and the giant paw raccoon demon was reduced to a large pile of charred remains.

Two of the demons' lairs were quickly wiped out, and the remaining demons also realized what was happening during this time.

They began to organize an orderly resistance.

But this did not stop the military mages from advancing.

Meanwhile, Bai Mo and his group at the foot of the mountain gradually felt the pressure.

Many lone demons were forced to flee down the mountain by the military sorcerer.

For example, the Sparrow-Headed Yellow Toad, the first demon Bai Mo encountered. The Sparrow-Headed Yellow Toad wasn't a particularly powerful demon; the only thing to be wary of were the pustules on its body.

It contains a potent poison and can explode unpredictably, especially upon impact. Therefore, upon seeing the sparrow-headed yellow toad approaching them, Zhong Ling, who was engaged in a struggle with a two-faced raccoon, shouted:

"Bai Mo! Throw that toad over here!"

"Understood." Bai Mo replied quickly, and a silver arc appeared in the space behind him. He faced the sparrow-headed yellow toad and reached out to grab it.

"Telekinesis!"

Then, a barely perceptible silver light flashed around the yellow toad with the sparrow's head, and then it seemed to be grabbed by something and floated up.

With a thought, Bai Mo controlled the Sparrow-Headed Yellow Toad to smash it towards the two-faced raccoon that was pouncing on Zhong Ling.

"Bang!!!!"

With a loud crash, most of the yellowish-brown pustules on the bird-headed toad's body ruptured, visible to the naked eye. A splatter of murky yellow mucus gushed out, most landing on the two-faced raccoon dog, with a small portion falling to the ground.

The weeds on the ground withered, and the two-faced raccoon let out a piercing scream:

"Wow~~~~~~~!"

It was even more disgusting than he had imagined, Bai Mo thought to himself, but then he heard Zhong Ling's praise, "Well done!"

Suddenly, she conjured a dazzling flame in both hands and threw it at the two demons who had fallen to the ground.

The two-faced raccoon was disfigured by the venom, its muscles paralyzed, and it could only watch helplessly as the ball of fire flew towards it. The sparrow-headed toad, however, was severely shaken by the impact.

It still has the ability to move, but it feels as if the air around it has solidified, imprisoning it.

"Explode!" Zhong Ling snapped his fingers, and two explosions followed his command.

"Boom!!"

The sun has set, and the moon is taking over.

Bai Mo and his class were also taken over by a group of military mages.

"Virtual Claw!"

Click!

With a loud crack, Bai Mo twisted the head of the Wind Soul Rabbit, which was as tall as a person, 360 degrees, and no more demons came down from the three peaks.

The order to end the patrol came quickly. After returning to Zhongjian Town with Zhou Tianyuan, Bai Mo was called to the central square by his homeroom teacher, Su Ning. Like the other second-year high school students in the square, Bai Mo learned about his grades.

First place, S+, Bai Mo

"I remember someone said they were going to get an S this time." Zhou Tianyuan looked at his S- grade, but he wasn't dissatisfied. Instead, he said to Bai Mo in a low voice.

"If I accidentally underperform, there's nothing I can do about it."

"You really are a space mage."

"What?"

"What a show-off!" Zhou Tianyuan slowly uttered three words, unable to hold them back.

Bai Mo ignored him, standing with his hands behind his back, displaying the demeanor of a master.

Just kidding, all the classmates around are watching. How can I waste such a chance to show off by arguing with this idiot Zhou Tianyuan?

Bai Mo continued to stand with his hands behind his back, expressionless. In his mind, he must look incredibly cool with his cold and aloof demeanor.

He glanced at Zhou Tianyuan and sighed inwardly. This guy had no idea how to liven things up; he was utterly useless.

However, the students were already used to Bai Mo's excellence and were not very surprised. They continued to search for their own grades on the huge stone slab in the center of the square.

A gust of wind swept by, led by the homeroom teacher. Su Ning looked at Bai Mo and felt that the student's current state was a bit strange.

But she didn't care and said, "Bai Mo, Zhou Tianyuan, come with me."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo stopped posing. Guessing that the school's reward was coming, he exchanged a glance with Zhou Tianyuan and followed.

Inside a house by the square, Su Ning stepped inside. There was another girl inside. She was very tall, about 1.7 meters.

"This is Mei Qian," Su Ning introduced.

Bai Mo knew her; she was the second-best student in the entire school, from the Lei department.

Ignoring the three silent people inside, Su Ning took out three antique-style invitations from the table and handed them to them. "These are the entry passes for the Jing'an Stone Temple. The opening time is three days from now. No exceptions will be made after that."

"Teacher Su, are we leaving tomorrow?"

"We'll be leaving soon; the school's bus is almost here." Su Ning glanced at Mei Qian, who had asked the question, and continued, "The invitation specifies the time you can stay at Jing'an Stone Temple. But don't worry, someone will call you out when it's time."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo lowered his head and looked at the antique-style invitation in his hand, on which was the number 14.

It should be within my own time. Fourteen days, that seems like quite a long time.

"I've only had three days!" Zhou Tianyuan looked up from his invitation and at Mei Qian on his left. "Mei, how many days have you been here?"

"Five days." Mei Qian's slightly coquettish voice startled Bai Mo. Was this the legendary loli voice? The contrast with her height was quite striking.

"Oh, so it seems it's based on ranking. Bai Mo, how many days have you been here?"

Fourteen days.

Upon hearing this, Mei Qian and Zhou Tianyuan were both taken aback; the difference was quite significant.

"Under normal circumstances, the first place only has seven days. Jing'an Shimiao only gives all the high schools in Qingyuan District a quota of 90. The Military Intelligence Bureau of Zhongjian Town gave Bai Mo a quota of seven days."

Seeing their confusion, Su Ning explained, then asked with some curiosity, "Bai Mo, what did you do?"

"Hmm, I don't know. I didn't do anything major. I just served as a tool for Commander Yang and his men, leading the way."

Since he didn't want to go back to the square to sunbathe anyway, Bai Mo simply recounted the events of that day in vivid detail.

After listening, Su Ning and his two companions were completely baffled, as it seemed they hadn't done anything particularly important.
