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

Chapter 75 The only student

"I see." Bai Mo nodded knowingly and said, "That's good too. Ice-type can be used for both offense and defense, and it can also synergize with your water-type."

As they were talking, a boy of average height peeked in. He had a round face and delicate features, and was carrying a snakeskin bag. Upon seeing Bai Mo and Zhou Tianyuan, especially Zhou Tianyuan's appearance, he touched his buzz cut, hesitated for a moment, and then asked with a smile:

"Hello, is this the boys' dormitory?"

"Ah! Yes, hello, my name is Bai Mo," Bai Mo greeted him. Seeing that he kept glancing at Zhou Tianyuan, he pointed at Zhou Tianyuan and said, "Don't be fooled by his appearance, he's actually a man."

Zhou Tianyuan knew that his appearance could sometimes cause misunderstandings, so he explained, "Don't be nervous, classmate. I'm a man. Look, I even have an Adam's apple."

"Oh... I thought I went to the wrong dorm." The round-faced boy nodded blankly and put his luggage on a bed.

"Excuse me, what's your name?" Zhou Tianyuan asked when the room suddenly fell silent.

The round-faced boy was taken aback, then touched his buzz cut sheepishly. "Oh? I forgot to mention, my name is Zhang Yuan, the healing type."

After speaking, he looked at the two of them. Bai Mo was a little surprised, not expecting them to be from the healing department. Seeing him looking at her, she told him about her and Zhou Tianyuan's departments.

Soon after, three more new students arrived: one fire-type and two light-type.

After having dinner at Lianyan Building next to Moon Lake, Bai Mo followed the instructions in the text message and went to a classroom in Duxing Building to wait for his classmates and tutor.

However, even after the bell rang, Bai Mo was still the only one in the classroom, and Bai Mo had a bad feeling.

A female teacher in her thirties walked in, dressed in professional attire, with a dignified and elegant face, and a solemn and quiet demeanor.

She glanced at Bai Mo, nodded slightly, and said in a very capable and direct manner, "I am Xiao Jun, the head of the Space Department of Mingzhu. I also teach you the theoretical foundation of the Space Department. You are the only Space Department student at the Mingzhu Qing Campus. The Space Department at the Qing Campus doesn't have many resources. Considering your situation, I have converted it into Space Source Crystals for you."

After Xiao Jun finished speaking, he flipped his hand, and a fist-sized Void Source Crystal appeared in his hand.

She tossed the Void Crystal to Bai Mo and continued, "The lecturers for the Space Department have a set curriculum and course schedule every year. You can check the specific courses on the Plum Blossom Course Schedule yourself."

That's all I wanted to say. Do you have any other questions?

Xiao Jun's tone was gentle. If the teachers at the main campus saw him, their eyes would pop out of their sockets. They couldn't believe that Xiao Jun, who was usually decisive and had a fiery temper, could be so patient.

"That's all, Teacher Xiao."

Hearing this, Xiao Jun nodded in satisfaction; she liked things simple. A year had passed, and the previous student in the Space Department was already close to graduating. Finally, their Pearl Space Department had another freshman. There was no other way; the number of students who awakened their Space Department for the first time was probably less than the number of schools in Kyushu.

Space-related resources are scarce in Kyushu, so space-related mages have not been very strong in recent decades. This has led to many high-level mages who are capable of awakening space-related abilities having some prejudice against it and being unwilling to awaken it.

That won't do, Xiao Jun refuses to believe it! There have been many powerful space-type mages in the history of Kyushu, so why should she think it's impossible now? She'll train a powerful space-type mage and see.

Therefore, Xiao Jun was very patient with every student who enrolled in the Space Department of Mingzhu Academy.

Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Jun seemed to remember something and said to Bai Mo:

"In a few days, the Summoning Department will be holding an event for all freshmen on the Pearl Green Campus called the Beast Fighting Tournament. I know you're also in the Summoning Department; would you be willing to participate as a Summoning Department student?"

Bai Mo was somewhat puzzled, but before he could ask, Xiao Jun continued:

"The Summoning Department only has four students this year. They lost the Beast Fighting Tournament the year before last, and losing again this year will affect the reputation of the Pearl Summoning Department. If you are willing to help them, Jiang Yunming promised to give you a piece of Elemental Dust."

Bai Mo knew that elemental dust was specifically used for the advancement of servant-level elemental creatures, and its effect was similar to that of beast-refining blood. It also had some effect on the growth of warrior-level elemental creatures.

It can be given to Xiaofengling as a snack. Although it's not very useful, it's better than nothing.

"They're both dimensional mages, of course I'll help."

Bai Mo immediately made a decision: he would go on stage last, as a backup plan.

Seeing that Bai Mo was willing, Xiao Jun nodded, and then took the lead in walking out of the classroom, ending the somewhat quiet class meeting.

"There are more teachers than students, am I some kind of treasure?" Walking back to his dormitory, Bai Mo tossed the empty source stone in his hand. Mingzhu Academy is so generous.

They gave us resources right away, even though we'd only just entered the school.

Listening to the discussions among freshmen and seniors about the Beast Fighting Tournament a few days later, Bai Mo returned to his dormitory.

With a speed comparable to that of celebrity gossip, the basic information of the five new students in this year's Summoning Department was known to all their classmates.

So his roommates couldn't help but ask why Bai Mo was on the list. Bai Mo had no choice but to confess that he was a mid-level mage and lied to them that it was a freshman activity in his space department to help students in his college.

Everyone paid homage to the big shot, and then they started talking about which pretty girls were among the freshmen.

Gradually, the dormitory quieted down, and everyone entered into meditation.

Bai Mo wasn't familiar with the four students in the Summoning Department, but he was tired of hearing about their summoned beasts.

One of the four is Ye Zi from Mingzhu High School, whom they met at the Magic Meeting.

His summoned beast, the Rock Demon Beast, is pretty good; after all, big creatures are usually quite strong.

The summoned beasts of the other three people were not rare either. They were a Ghost Wolf, a Black-striped Python, and a Vine Cage Monster.

These people's summoned beasts are of average strength, comparable to ordinary servants.

As long as they don't encounter a mage who has mastered intermediate-level magic and comes to challenge them, Bai Mo felt that it wasn't impossible for the four of them to take on a hundred.

The Qingdou Hall was bustling with noise as Dean Xiao delivered a passionate speech, the gist of which was that Mingzhu Academy would not cultivate sorcerers who would only become parasites on society and would not be able to kill demons.

Then the Beast Fighting Tournament officially began, with the Summoning type starting with Rock Golem, while Leaf was merely a summoning material.

As soon as the Rock Demon Beast entered the arena, its unshakeable, mountain-like aura filled the entire arena.

Soon, a group of mages arrived. The fire mage, who was responsible for casting destruction magic, couldn't harm the rock monster with his flames. In no time, only one rock monster was left in the arena, unable to catch up with the wind mage.

However, Summoner Ye Zi is now a mid-level mage, and his second element is earth.

A single ground wave moved the Rock Demon Beast right in front of the Wind Mage, blasting him off the field.

Those who can enter Pearl Academy are not fools. As soon as the next team came up, they immediately posed a threat to the Rock Demon Beast.

Their destruction mage was none other than an ice mage. Rock and earth that fire could not burn and lightning could not penetrate, were instantly frozen into crispy biscuits by the ice.

However, an ice mage obviously cannot freeze the massive rock monster, especially since it has a summoner to assist it.

However, when the team reached the fourth group, three out of the five mages who entered the arena were ice mages. The three of them simultaneously unleashed ice vines, and the entire arena was quickly filled with swirling frost and snow.

Even if Leaf could move with its ground waves, it couldn't escape the cover of ice and snow. Soon, Rock Monster and Leaf were covered by ice and snow with nowhere to hide.

The summoning system dispatched a second Shadow Wolf Beast. This ordinary Shadow Wolf Beast only managed to kill seventeen people before it was unable to fight any longer due to too many injuries.

Next up is the Vine Cage Monster, a vine cage the size of a car. It climbed out of a dimensional portal, supported by its own vines.

This is a special plant spirit that evolved from vine cages in the Moon Spirit Continent of the dimensional plane. It is not uncommon, but it may be very troublesome for novice mages who do not know it.

The team that just defeated the Ghost Wolf Beast is still in the arena. Clearly, they want to defeat another summoned beast and win the MVP award.

But the vine cage monster was clearly not easy to deal with. As soon as it appeared, its fine, dense branches quickly spread out in all directions from its vine cage-like body.

"Thunder Seal!"

"Ice Vines!"

The two mages on the other side immediately unleashed their magic to stop it, but neither lightning nor frost could harm the countless branches.

The branches quickly covered half of the fighting arena, constantly pressing towards the five people opposite them.

Faced with countless vines that they couldn't break, the five could only leave the field in disappointment.

"Boring." Lu Yilin shook his head as he looked at the group of people coming down from the arena. If it weren't for Bai Mo's name on the list, he wouldn't have bothered watching this so-called beast fighting tournament.

When Lu Yilin arrived, he saw Dong Shan. Ever since he lost to Bai Mo at the Magic Competition, Dong Shan had been trying to get back at him, but he knew that he couldn't do it on his own.

So he approached Dong Shan, "Would you be interested in meeting Bai Mo again?"

Dong Shan looked up at Lu Yilin, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "You want to cause him trouble?"

"I just want to beat him and prove that I am the best of the four major families in Shanghai this year."

"I'm not interested. Go find someone else." Dong Shan was too lazy to get involved in this. He admired Bai Mo's strength and also had the idea of ​​taking this opportunity to compete again, but he wouldn't go with Lu Yilin.

After saying that, he left on his own.

However, seeing that the vine cage monster had already wiped out another group of people, pushing the number of summoners eliminated to over forty, based on the earlier estimate of the two summoned beasts.

If no truly mid-level mage were to join the fray, it would probably take three more teams to defeat this vine cage monster. However, besides Bai Mo, there was still one summoner left. That black-striped python was clearly not easy to deal with, so he wouldn't have a chance to fight Bai Mo.

Dong Shan knew Bai Mo; he was a bit lazy. If he challenged Bai Mo to a fight for no reason, Bai Mo would probably ignore him.

Therefore, Dong Shan decided to go up and deal with their remaining summoned beasts himself, forcing Bai Mo out.

"Make way, I'll handle this," he said to a fire mage in his class at the front of the line.

"Wow, a mid-level expert! Do you need our help?"

"Need not."

After Dong Shan finished speaking, he walked to the corner where only one spot remained, which was covered by the branches of the Vine Cage Monster. He nodded, indicating that it was time to begin.

"Who is this? He doesn't look good, how dare he go up there alone?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, he's a mid-level mage."

"Tch, who isn't a mid-level mage?"

The person next to her glanced at her and said, "He knows intermediate-level magic, not a half-baked guy like you."

"How do you know so much? You haven't fallen for her, have you?"

The boy next to him turned pale and said speechlessly, "I was his high school classmate."

Regardless of what people were saying off the field, once Dong Shan signaled the start of the match, countless waves of vines began to surge towards him.

Dong Shan's magic drawing speed was already very skilled. Before the vines could even touch him, a flame fell to the ground, spreading out a wall of flames to block the attacking plants.

However, there were simply too many branches and vines; the flames had barely ignited the ones in front before the others surged up. The initial level of scorching fire was quite hot, but its ignition speed clearly couldn't keep up with the spread of the vines.

To deal with this vine cage monster, unless you eliminate it when it first spreads out the area, you'll need overwhelming power or elemental suppression, just like the three ice mages did with the rock monster, clearing away the vines. The vines are just ordinary vines, as thick as a finger, even weaker than a basic level one spell from a plant mage; their main strength lies in their sheer number.

Clearly, Dong Shan possesses this capability.

Just as the scorching wall was about to extinguish, an even hotter energy emanated from it in all directions. Even though there were no flames, the nearby vines burst into flames.

"Fierce Fist!"

As the fiery ring flew up from beneath his feet, everyone realized that on the ground where the flames had been extinguished, a magnificent, fiery red star map was shining brightly.

The Flame Ring suddenly shrank, and scalding, explosive energy gathered in Dong Shan's raised fist, turning his fist fiery red.

"Boom!"

With a raised wrist and a swung fist, a massive fiery fist appeared out of thin air, like a wild beast suddenly released from its cage, roaring and destroying everything in its path, leaving a trail of scorch marks before crashing heavily into the vine cage monster.

"No! I surrender!!" the student who summoned the Vine Cage Monster shouted. The Vine Cage Monster couldn't withstand that powerful punch; it would be killed by the intense heat. But he didn't consider that he was also within the range of the powerful punch.

"Guangyou!" Teacher Gu Han, who had been responsible for the safety of the fight, made his move instantly.

In the blink of an eye, a ring of light appeared in front of them, blocking out all the raging flames.

The last summoner to enter the arena summoned his Black-Striped Python, but he was worried that it might unleash a mid-level spell. So he immediately commanded the Black-Striped Python to attack.

The black-striped python moved very fast. Neither of Dong Shan's two systems had any displacement ability, but he didn't think about dodging.

His magic, like his light, is upright and just.

"Radiance - Blindness!"

Golden light flowed across his palm, transforming into a dazzling ball of light that flew at incredible speed towards the black-striped python. The blinding light directly scorched the python's eyes, causing some damage, but it couldn't stop its advance.
