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

Chapter 26 Swift Wolf Teacher

As soon as I entered, I saw a familiar, aloof figure standing behind the bar.

There was also a cute little elementary school student in the booth, holding a glass of juice, with one slender finger sliding on the tablet on her lap, and her two ponytails swaying slightly behind her.

"Sister Leng Qing." Bai Mo greeted Leng Qing first, then sat down next to the little girl. "Lingling, you've taken leave again?"

"What right do you have to talk to me like that?"

"I'm not asking for leave; we have free time this afternoon."

"Me too"

Leng Qing felt somewhat helpless. Ever since she learned that Bai Mo was skipping school by asking for leave, Lingling had been doing the same thing all the time. Honestly, the homeroom teacher hadn't even said anything about it. She looked at Bai Mo and said:

"What would you like to drink?"

"Orange juice"

"You're copying me!" Lingling glanced at Bai Mo beside her.

Bai Mo didn't care at all, and handed her a candied hawthorn she had bought on the way there:

"I am a child."

Lingling's eyes lit up, and she accepted it without hesitation. She rolled her eyes at Bai Mo's words, indicating that she wouldn't argue with him for the sake of the candied hawthorn.

Bai Mo took the orange juice from Leng Qing and asked, "Sister Leng Qing, is there some big project? Didn't you mention it on Fetion?"

"The Hunter's Guild has received a commission from the Magic Association to investigate the cause of the disturbance caused by the Gale Wolf pack near Dinghu Dingshan. The reward is four million." Leng Qing glanced at Bai Mo, took out a document, gestured for him to look at it, and continued:

"The bounty isn't much, but it gives a lot of hunter points, which can help you quickly level up your hunter title."

"Oh," Bai Mo nodded knowingly. He knew it. At the same time, he remembered the news he had heard at lunch and frowned, asking again:

"Aren't the Gale Wolves currently in their breeding season? Isn't it normal for there to be some commotion?"

Hearing this, Lingling, who was sitting next to him, looked up, glanced at him, and kept quiet with the candied hawthorn in her mouth.

Leng Qing shook his head and said, "The guardian mage discovered that the Gale Wolves around Dinghu Lake in the west of Qingyuan District showed signs of invading the city, but they have been driven back."

"This shouldn't be the case. Usually, the Gale Wolves only cause internal disturbances in the spring and don't actively go to human cities. The authorities suspect there must be some other reason causing this."

After listening, Bai Mo seemed thoughtful. Leng Qing usually focused on matters of the Tribunal, and she couldn't care too much about a mere four million points, even if she had a lot of points. So, he looked at Leng Qing and said:

"Sister Leng Qing, you didn't just take on this mission to boost my hunter title, did you?"

"The trial committee also assigned me this task, but I can't tell you the specifics."

Seeing that Bai Mo had some suspicions, Leng Qing spoke frankly about it. Then she walked out from behind the bar.

"Let's go, let's go to Dingshan."

Dingshan is located on the shore of Dinghu Lake, a forest and plain that is the habitat of the Gale Wolves.

Heading northwest along Qingyuan District, you'll arrive at this place where wolf dens abound.

Although Leng Qing's main cultivation is earth-based, her secondary cultivation, shadow, has also reached a high level.

They moved about in the wolf-infested jungle undetected, moving with ease. Even the Shadow Wolf, the most skilled warrior in shadow magic, could not discover them.

Bai Mo had also wondered why Leng Qing wanted to bring him along, since she could manage on her own.

In her words: The old man said he would find Lingling a partner.

Bai Mo became even more confused. In the original story, Lingling had a partner. But she died later. Could it be now? Or has that partner not arrived yet?

If I took his place, I won't die in the future, right?

It seems that when Mo Fan first arrived, the young girl questioned his abilities, suggesting that his original partner's incompetence was the reason for his death.

Bai Mo panicked a little and suddenly began to doubt his own strength. Was it not enough?

Getting back to the main point, on the way, both Leng Qing and Bai Mo suspected that the commotion of the Gale Wolves might be related to the fact that they were in their breeding season.

So they decided to use this as a breakthrough point, but there were quite a few monsters and wolves in the forest.

But not every single one is doing that important thing that benefits the reproduction of the species all the time.

Therefore, they need to search for it.

The sound-based magical artifact beside his ear gave him a response, a sickeningly melodious wolf howl that jolted Bai Mo awake.

He pointed to the left and said, "Sister Leng Qing, there are a few Gale Wolves exercising over there. Shall we go over?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Qing remained calm and simply nodded, saying, "Let's go!"

As he spoke, a shadowy figure pulled Bai Mo along and flew away in the direction he pointed.

Here, two Swift Wolves are locked in combat.

Bai Mo and Leng Qing both wore serious expressions, hiding in the shade of the trees, carefully observing the battle taking place in the open space.

It was as if they were observing the highest magical rules of the world, trying to find something amiss.

About an hour later, the two Swift Wolves stopped the practical lesson.

They darted into the woods one after the other.

"Sister Leng Qing, did you see something?" Bai Mo's gaze lingered on Leng Qing's face. He needed to wash his eyes; they were almost blind.

Leng Qing remained expressionless, her eyes, which had been as icy as ice, now showing a hint of embarrassment. Hearing Bai Mo's question, she paused briefly before making her decision.

"Keep up with them!"

"Still looking?!" Bai Mo wailed, letting Leng Qing pull him into the darkness.

Wandering in the shadows, the two, like eager students, quickly caught up with the two wolf teachers they had just met, and under their guidance, returned to their teacher's house.

"Ughh ...

Suddenly, the two Gale Wolves, who had returned to their den, let out a high-pitched howl, as if calling for something.

Just as Bai Mo thought that his two companions had been discovered and was about to raise his hand to cast a spell to send the two demon teachers to their deaths.

Leng Qing suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand.

"Don't panic! They haven't spotted us."

Leng Qing's intuition told her that she might soon find out the reason for the swift wolves' restlessness!

The two wolf demons continued howling and calling out. Their voices gradually grew more agitated and angry.

They began searching around for something, started tearing apart the surrounding weeds with their sharp claws, and began destroying their own wild and charming doghouse.

As time passed, still unable to find their target, they began sniffing at something, and then ran in one direction.

"What are they looking for?" Leng Qing's voice, as if talking to herself, reached Bai Mo's ears. As Bai Mo was being led by her to follow the Gale Wolves, he also pondered this question.

Considering the current special season for Gale Wolves, and the behavior of the two Gale Wolves just now, Bai Mo immediately thought of the answer and spoke it aloud, recalling the conversation he overheard last month when he was collecting Wind Chime Grass.

"Cub!"

"A cub?" Leng Qing's eyes flickered thoughtfully.

"Yes, they must be looking for the cubs of the Gale Wolves!"

The swift wolf in front seemed to be carefully discerning something with its sensitive nose, so its pace slowed down and it would occasionally go in the wrong direction.

Leng Qing and Bai Mo followed leisurely at a distance, and upon hearing Bai Mo's assertion, Leng Qing asked:

"Tell me about it?"

"Last time I went to pick Wind Spirit Flowers for someone, it's a kind of grass that Gale Wolves like to eat during their breeding season. I encountered many Gale Wolf attacks back then, and they were also looking for this grass. I guessed then that they must have reached their breeding season."

Bai Mo continued unhurriedly, "And as I was leaving, I overheard someone trying to use this grass to attract the attention of the Gale Wolves and then capture their cubs."

"They've had so many pups in just one month? Even if the Gale Wolves are servant-level demons with short gestation periods, theirs shouldn't be this short, right?"

Leng Qing frowned and asked about one of the things that didn't make sense.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo smiled slightly; he actually knew the answer to that question. He then continued to answer it.

"Because I picked the Wind Spirit Flower to give to a weapon forger, I was curious about how it could be used for weapon forging, so I looked it up. I found that in addition to having a hallucinogenic and attractive effect on Gale Wolves, it can also help Gale Wolves in their gestation period by shortening their incubation time."

Leng Qing nodded; that made perfect sense. But then she frowned, because the two Gale Wolves not far ahead were slowing down considerably.

They're following like this, but how long are they going to keep going, even though they're heading towards Qingyuan District in Shanghai?

Even if she agreed with Bai Mo's guess, she couldn't investigate the case based solely on speculation. It was already certain that someone was secretly sabotaging the matter, with an unclear motive.

Therefore, they need to continue their investigation and find evidence. But right now, these two swift wolves are too slow.

Suddenly, Bai Mo's ears twitched. He took out his spatial compass, and a faint light, obscured by the bright sunlight, fell upon the two Gale Wolves.

Meeting Leng Qing's questioning gaze, Bai Mo explained, "I heard human footsteps. Let's locate these two wolves first, then we'll go check it out. Don't worry, my locating magic device won't be detected."

"Can."

Leng Qing nodded slightly, letting Bai Mo guide her. She continued to use her Shadow Step technique, leading the two of them towards a certain place.

As I got closer, I heard shouts and cheers.

"Quick, the Wind Spirit Flowers that Fourth Brother released have already been eaten by those Gale Wolves. Let's go to their lair and take those wolf cubs away!"

Upon hearing the sound, Leng Qing's eyes lit up immediately, and her movement speed increased even more. In the blink of an eye, she gradually appeared nearby, silently hiding in the shadows of a tree branch.

There were four gray-robed men, their heads and faces covered, stuffing a litter of Gale Wolf cubs into a large woven bag.

"Good heavens, they've come to buy more goods, haven't they?" Bai Mo exclaimed as he looked on.

"Silence!"

Leng Qing gave a word of advice and then continued to observe, ever since she learned about the strangeness of Bai Mo's sound-based magical artifact.

Even knowing that such beings are as rare as sound-based mages, she remained exceptionally cautious in her actions during the mission.

However, judging from the aura of the four people below, only two were mid-level mages, clearly just a group of people on official business.

Looks like I need to change my target.

Seeing that the group had finished collecting the Gale Wolf cubs and were beginning to leave the place in an orderly manner, Leng Qing and Bai Mo silently followed.

Arriving in a sparsely wooded wilderness, where there was little shade and it was no longer possible to conceal oneself, she seized an opportunity to plant the Dark Mark on several people.

I watched them disappear into the horizon before chasing after them.

However, as soon as they entered the outskirts of the city, Leng Qing frowned slightly, reached out and condensed a small particle of darkness. She handed it to Bai Mo, saying, "This is my Shadow Breath. They've separated. Go back to the hunting lodge and find Lingling, give her this."

"Then be careful, Sister Leng Qing."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo took off his earring and tossed it to her, offering a brief reminder without asking further questions. He then carefully collected the small, dark particle and headed off in one direction.

Fortunately, there are many people coming and going in and out of Anjie every day, so he quickly found a taxi, gave the address of Qingtian Hunting Grounds, and drove off.

The roads outside the city weren't congested, and vehicles were speeding by.

But it still can't compare to Leng Qing's shadow-based escape techniques. The various shadows between the skyscrapers of Shanghai are the best highway for shadow-based mages.

Following the markings, Leng Qing quickly caught up with a man in a gray robe. He was the one carrying a woven bag of wolf cubs.

Leng Qing silently followed behind him, arriving at a gray trading area.

There are magic detection devices here, and with her current Shadow cultivation level, she cannot sneak in undetected.
