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

Chapter 7 Jing'an Stone Temple

In the afternoon, there was a class meeting.

Class teacher Su Ning entered the classroom as scheduled and glanced at the still somewhat restless students.

She coughed twice, and began with her usual opening remarks for the new semester.

Then we get to the main point.

"Students, in two months the school will organize a field practical assessment for all second-year high school students. Be prepared! You've had enough fun during the two-month holiday, so it's time to get back into the swing of things."

After Su Ning finished speaking, the classroom was quiet for a few seconds. Without waiting for the classroom to erupt in chaos, she continued:

"Don't be discouraged or panicked, everyone. Students who perform well will have the opportunity to attend sermons at the Jing'an Stone Temple."

After saying this, she sat down, and the students knew that she had finished speaking.

As the chattering began, the whole classroom gradually started to fill with noise.

It all revolves around what our homeroom teacher, Su Ning, just mentioned about the field combat assessment.

Don't be fooled by the fancy name; it's really just wilderness training.

Of course, the intensity is definitely not comparable to formal wilderness training.

Someone asked, "Hey, do you know where wilderness training takes you?"

"Last year I went near the seawall, and the year before that I went to a military town in the Taihu Lake area. There are too many monsters around Shanghai, and they may not be in the same place."

The class monitor answered his questions.

"But it definitely won't be within the city!"

"I've only just learned to cast spells, how can I go out into the wilderness to face demons? Can't I just not go?"

Zhao Qingying glanced at that person and shook her head.

"The results of this assessment will be used as a reference for admissions by major universities. Moreover, there have been no injuries or fatalities in the past."

"Oh...it seems I'll have to intensify my magic practice when I get back."

"Am I the only one who doesn't know what the Jing'an Stone Temple is for?"

Su Ning's ears twitched, and she stopped swiping on her phone screen. The sound drowned out the noise of the entire classroom.

"Ahem, I forgot to mention earlier, the Jing'an Stone Temple is a Buddhist temple with a long history. It's surrounded by mysterious chanting sounds, which can increase your cultivation speed. One day of cultivation inside is equivalent to seven days outside."

As she spoke, Su Ning paused, glanced at Bai Mo, and continued:

"It is rumored that the Buddhist chants at Jing'an Stone Temple have the wonderful effect of enhancing spiritual power, and even have the chance to break through spiritual realms. Students should seize the opportunity."

As a result, the atmosphere in the classroom became even more lively.

Zhou Tianyuan turned to look at his nonchalant deskmate beside him and asked:

"Bai Mo, what do you think?"

"Let's aim for an S-rank this time," Bai Mo said calmly.

Zhou Tianyuan, standing next to him, gave him a thumbs up, indicating that he was quite the show-off; even a snakeskin bag couldn't compare.

"But what the old teacher said reminded me that we have no experience in facing demons."

Bai Mo recalled his chance encounter with demons two months ago, turned his head, and looked at Zhou Tianyuan, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression, and continued:

"I'm planning to go to the Demon Fighting Hall to familiarize myself with it, do you want to come along?"

"Isn't it a bit much to go to such lengths?" Zhou Tianyuan's face fell upon hearing this. Of course, he knew what the Demon Fighting Hall was.

The so-called Demon-Fighting Hall is a place that specifically provides services for fighting demons. It serves as a transitional location for mages from the city to the wilderness.

The demons in the Demon Fighting Hall are mostly tamed, servant-level demons, and each battle is guarded by a mid-level old mage.

Therefore, the annual fee is not cheap.

Moreover, customer safety is absolutely guaranteed, unlike those illegal and unethical underground gladiatorial arenas that use bloodshed to please some psychologically twisted rich people.

"Why not use it? We should make use of this resource."

Bai Mo raised an eyebrow and patted Zhou Tianyuan on the shoulder.

"Tianyuan, you don't want to suddenly encounter a demon while training in the wild and be so scared that you wet your pants, do you?"

"No, I'll go with you!"

Zhou Tianyuan nodded seriously, as if to encourage himself, and slowly recited:

"Who knows the hardships of the frontier? Even in death, the fragrance of chivalry lingers! It's just fighting a demon, I'm not afraid."

Bai Mo had gotten used to his intermittent poetry recitations and didn't always feel embarrassed.

Noticing the strange looks the female classmates behind them were giving them, he subtly removed his hand from Zhou Tianyuan's shoulder and gave him a word of advice:

"It's good that you're okay. You just need to focus on defense for me and you, and I'll handle the offense."

Zhou Tianyuan was taken aback by his words, looking at him with a mixture of surprise and delight, and asked, "Shall we both come at me together?"

Bai Mo gave him a strange look, her tone languid: "Don't tell me you want a one-on-one fight?"

"No, no, no! It's fine for two people to go together."

Just then, the bell rang, signaling the end of today's lessons.

"Let's go."

Bai Mo got up and walked straight outside.

"Wait for me!"

Little did they know that as soon as they stepped out of the teaching building, they were blocked by two girls.

Ignoring Zhou Tianyuan, who couldn't see everything with one eye, Bai Mo stared intently at the two beautiful girls in front of him.

She was a little over 1.6 meters tall, with a broad chest, delicate and pretty features, lively eyes, and a slightly youthful appearance.

She possessed an ethereal beauty, with skin as white and translucent as jade, a nose as straight as a mountain, eyes as bright and clear as water, thin lips red without lipstick, and eyebrows as green without makeup.

"Aitutu? Mu Nujiao?"

"Hey, you know me?"

"You guys are famous at school now," Bai Mo said calmly, indicating that it wasn't anything surprising. "Did you need something?"

When Ai Tutu heard him ask this, her eyebrows shot up. She loosened her grip on Mu Nujiao's arm and took two steps forward, looking intently at Bai Mo.

"Handsome guy, I heard you're also a space magic user. Let's add each other on Fetion, get to know each other, and exchange ideas about magic cultivation."

"Okay." Bai Mo nodded, not caring what Ai Tutu was up to.

"Hey, didn't they say you were really aloof?"

Ai Tutu took out her phone with some surprise.

"Because they are not worthy of my attention," Bai Mo said, looking at the two of them with an air of self-righteousness.

"drop!"

"drop!"

Two clear beeps rang out as Bai Mo glanced in surprise at Mu Nujiao, who was silently holding her phone beside her.

Just then, Mu Nujiao was looking at him. Seeing him approach, she smiled and said leisurely:

"I didn't expect you to be Bai Mo. I've heard so much about you. Perhaps we can exchange blows sometime in the future."

"Yes, I hope that time comes soon."

Bai Mo smiled. This woman already had that warlike, demonic nature.

After saying that, he showed the two applicants the approved interface and then headed out of the school without looking back.

"He seems pretty arrogant!" Ai Tutu said to the person next to her as she watched him leave.

……

"Bai Mo, you're quite the ladies' man."

Inside the subway station, Zhou Tianyuan teased Bai Mo.

Bai Mo pondered for two seconds, then nodded, his expression one of earnest agreement:

"Indeed, even as the most handsome man in the world, I have my share of troubles."

"emmmm"

Zhou Tianyuan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Hey, I didn't expect you to be so good at joking."

"???"

Upon seeing Bai Mo's question mark, he shook a feather fan that wasn't actually in front of him and said reservedly:

"I admit, Bai Mo, your looks are indeed extraordinary, but compared to me, you still lack a bit of charm."

After saying that, he smoothed his long hair at his temples.

"emmm"

Bai Mo was speechless. He didn't know where to begin his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments), so he simply stopped talking and ignored this idiot.

Focus on getting on your way.

Because demons and monsters are said to roam freely, the Demon Fighting Hall is not allowed to be opened arbitrarily.

In addition to requiring various permits and licenses, there are also restrictions on the location of the establishment. Generally, it can only be opened in commercial areas or entertainment areas for monks who provide services to monks.

Although there are ordinary people in these areas, there are far more mages.

In the event of an accident, it will not cause large-scale casualties or riots.

Bai Mo and his group were heading to a demon-fighting arena located beneath the Mingzhu Mage Tower, which was the best demon-fighting arena in Shanghai.

The variety of demons is quite rich, and the security measures are also the most comprehensive.

And most importantly, that demon-fighting arena was jointly opened by the four major families of Shanghai.

People like Bai Mo and Zhou Tianyuan didn't have membership cards in the past.

You can use facial recognition and not pay anything.
