Full-Time Mage: Starting with Gengar, selected for the National Tournament

Chapter 23 Beast Fighting Tournament

Chu Ming followed the advice of the school staff.

We arrived at the dean's office.

Boom!

"Please come in." A gentle, middle-aged voice called out.

Chu Ming walked into the room and saw a refined middle-aged man wearing glasses sitting at his desk. He looked to be about forty or fifty years old.

"You little rascal, the admissions meeting is about to end, and you've finally decided to come over," Dean Xiao said with a laugh.

Chu Ming understood Dean Xiao's teasing tone, sat down on the sofa, and said with a smile, "I was busy breaking through to the intermediate level recently. After all, this is Mingzhu Academy, a top-tier academy in China. I wouldn't have dared to accept your invitation to enroll if I hadn't reached the intermediate level."

"Hey, you little rascal!"

Dean Xiao raised an eyebrow, then shook his head and chuckled.

"Alright, enough joking around. You chose the Summoning class, right?" Dean Xiao asked.

"Um."

Chu Ming nodded.

"At Mingzhu Academy, there is a traditional opening ceremony every year called the 'Beast Fighting Competition'."

"It's a competition where all the new students in the Summoning Department challenge other new students from all other departments. You'll have to face attacks from one hundred students in turn."

After speaking, Dean Xiao looked at Chu Ming with a smile, seemingly wanting to see his reaction.

But then I heard that the Summoning type was challenging all types.

Chu Ming's face showed only surprise and excitement.

Holy crap, is this for real?

He was originally wondering how he could find someone to have a friendly battle with after entering Pearl Academy.

After all, as a freshman, he was constantly looking for people to challenge.

They've inevitably become a bit arrogant.

It turns out that Mingzhu Academy has such a "fine tradition": the beast fighting competition!

Or will he take on everyone?!

As expected of Mingzhu University, this is fantastic!

"Most students would probably be nervous by now if they heard that the entire department was attacking them."

"This kid, isn't he afraid at all?"

Dean Xiao nodded, quite pleased with the result.

I knew I hadn't misjudged him.

In terms of both ability and mentality, this kid is definitely far beyond the level of his peers.

"Dean, since this is a competition, there should be prizes, right?"

Chu Ming continued to ask.

Dean Xiao chuckled and said, "There is a reward, but it's not for you."

"If, in this match, the summoning students are all defeated by the relentless attacks of those one hundred students from other departments..."

"Then all the resources of the Summoning system within a year will be distributed equally among the other systems."

"In other words, only if you summoning students successfully defeat one hundred students can the summoning department's resources be preserved."

"This is the Beast Fighting Tournament."

Upon hearing this...

Chu Ming nodded as well.

Preserving one's own resources is also an option.

Anyway, I can get a lot of points by defeating those guys.

That's the biggest reward.

After completing the admission report with Dean Xiao.

Chu Ming then followed a staff member to his residence.

After all, it was a special admission program.

In addition, Chu Ming's mother, Song Xiuyun, made several worrying phone calls.

Dean Xiao arranged a single staff room for him.

Chu Ming didn't need to squeeze into the same dormitory room with other people.

……

September st.

The official start of the school year has arrived.

I just finished dinner.

Chu Ming received a text message telling him to gather in the classroom for a freshman orientation.

They leisurely arrived at the designated large classroom.

But they found that only one person had arrived in the classroom.

He was leaning back in his chair with his feet on the table, looking every bit the part of a hoodlum.

"This guy, I think his name is Mo Fan?"

Chu Ming frowned slightly.

Seeing that not everyone had arrived, I was about to go out for a walk when I happened to run into Jiang Yunming, the head of the Summoning Department, walking in.

Just then, a series of urgent noises came from outside the classroom.

Several boys rushed over. They were moving together, so it was obvious they were from the same dormitory.

"Alright, everyone's here. Now I'll explain the details of this beast-fighting tournament..."

Jiang Yunming glanced at the eight people sitting in the classroom, nodded, and began to speak.

"Ah... there are only eight of us?"

Mo Fan, standing to the side, widened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

Recently.

He had also heard about the beast fighting tournament.

I was very happy, since it had been a long time since I had fought against demons.

As a result, the current situation told him.

Including him, there are only eight people in this competition.

What the hell is the point of fighting?

Considering that I am a mage who practices four different magic systems, and resources are already insufficient... this traditional program is simply outrageous!

Mo Fan felt extremely annoyed.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Most of those who can get into Mingzhu Academy are elites with outstanding potential and strong abilities.

His own Shadow Wolf Beast was quite powerful, but it couldn't withstand the onslaught of all the freshmen.

It's not just Mo Fan.

Apart from Chu Ming, everyone present was present.

Every single one of them felt like their heads were about to explode.

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Are you all okay with that?"

Jiang Yunming glanced at everyone.

The summoning students present stared at each other, unsure of what to say.

We can't even muster ten people on our side.

A challenge against 100 people?

One person can't even take on ten.

"no problem."

Chu Ming's calm voice rang out.

Mo Fan and everyone else present looked over, their eyes filled with surprise.

How can this guy be so confident?

Since Chu Ming lives alone and has not yet released Gengar, no one knows what his summoned beast is.

But the six summoning students living together were exchanging knowing glances.

They looked at each other for a few moments.

The same thought arose in their minds.

"Hehe, since this guy named Chu Ming is so confident, let's just let him be the first one to go."

But actually.

This is exactly what Chu Ming wanted.

……

a few days later.

The beast fighting tournament arrived as scheduled.

The competition venue is the Qingdou Hall.

As a venue frequently used to host competitions.

The arena was built to a very grand scale, covering an area the size of two football fields.

Today, the dueling arena has been transformed into a massive cage of barriers.

It is called the "Beast Fighting Cage".

After lunch, the students lined up and entered the museum one after another.

The young, energetic faces and lively discussions created a festive atmosphere.

Around 3 p.m.

The entire venue was filled with students.

Chu Ming, Mo Fan, and the others arrived at the backstage of Qingdou Hall ahead of time to prepare.

The ceremony began.

Dean Xiao walked onto a high platform and began to speak.

"A magician who graduates from the Pearl Academy is bound to possess the ability to change the world, and will surely be a hero capable of protecting humanity..."

"Today is your day to showcase your abilities! Let's start with today's main characters—the new recruits of the Summoning Department!"

Dean Xiao briefly emphasized the responsibilities of a Dharma Master.

We quickly got to today's topic.

Beast Fighting Tournament!

A cheer erupted from the entire stadium.

Chu Ming calmly walked out from backstage.

After taking a deep breath, Mo Fan followed closely behind. The rest of the group exchanged nervous glances before quickly walking toward the stage.
