Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

“Since you are a team and will be training together for a year, we instructors have decided to appoint one of you as captain. That will be Ai Jiangtu,” Song He said, pointing to Ai Jiangtu.

In the past, Ai Jiangtu would have claimed it without any reason.

Unfortunately, he had been completely outmatched in a previous match against Cao Le, so he really couldn't take on the captain's position.

The captain doesn't just look at strength, but if strength can't convince the others, it always feels like he's relying on connections, which is not what Ai Jiangtu wants.

"Ai Jiangtu?"

Seeing that Ai Jiangtu remained motionless, Feng Li became somewhat puzzled.

What's wrong with me today?

How could the sensible Ai Jiangtu ignore these mentors?

“Mentor...I…” Ai Jiangtu stepped forward upon hearing Feng Li’s call, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “I am not suitable to be the team leader.”

"What!?"

When they heard Ai Jiangtu say this, the mentors were all dumbfounded.

Feng Li, in particular, expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, "With your abilities and experience, how come you're not suitable to be the captain?"

"My strength is not the strongest in the team..." Ai Jiangtu said truthfully.

"???"

The mentors were completely dumbfounded again...

What a joke! You, Ai Jiangtu, have crushed all the men of your age in the military academy. How can you not be the strongest?

Among these people, is there anyone stronger than him?

This reason was completely unconvincing to the mentors!

.....

167. Mu Ningxue's arrow

Ai Jiangtu looked at the bewildered mentors, then at Cao Le, and said to them, "I don't know about others, but Cao Le's strength is far above mine."

Upon hearing that Cao Le was better than Ai Jiangtu, Feng Li simply couldn't believe it!

The elite students of military academy are actually inferior to such an ordinary person?

It's not that we're being discriminatory or prejudiced, but no one would accept this if we said it to them!

Even the most outstanding generations raised by prestigious families cannot match the strength of those trained by the military!

This is someone the country has nurtured.

But Ai Jiangtu is clearly not a man who likes to joke.

The group of people all looked at Cao Le simultaneously.

Even Nan Jue and the others looked at him.

Cao Le shrugged and said, "Don't look at me, he's being modest... Besides, I'm not interested in being the team leader, and I don't really like people who are in charge."

The Nationalist government's team is rife with problems; should I become the team leader?

What kind of captain are you!

I'll never be a team leader in my lifetime!

After all, there was no benefit to him other than truthfully reporting everything, so he couldn't be bothered to get involved.

However, although Cao Le was modest, he did not deny the fact that he had defeated Ai Jiangtu. Feng Li and the others were immediately surprised.

What they knew was that Cao Le was a grassroots mage, and that he was also very lucky to have the right to be chosen by four votes.

A person who can get four votes from domestic parliamentarians is certainly not an incompetent person.

But who would have thought that this guy was actually even more monstrous than Ai Jiangtu?

Ai Jiangtu was somewhat dumbfounded when Cao Le directly refused. The position of captain of the National Government team, while offering no tangible rewards, provided a significant boost to reputation and other aspects. Cao Le actually refused?!

"Alright, since Cao Le isn't taking responsibility as captain, Ai Jiangtu will remain your captain." Feng Li didn't want to argue any further and simply forced him to accept his fate.

"Yes."

Seeing that Feng Li was glaring at him, Ai Jiangtu naturally stopped arguing.

Just then, a sudden chill swept over...

The sudden chill made everyone look towards the entrance.

A woman with long, snow-silver hair walked over.

"Isn't that Mu Ningxue?"

"Didn't she lose her eligibility to be a member of the National Team? Why is she here?"

"..."

Upon seeing the woman approaching, murmurs immediately arose within the group.

"Hey Mu Ningxue, did you come to the wrong place? This is a ceremony for the main players. You're not qualified to be here right now, you..." Mu Tingying, whose hair was dyed brown, suddenly gritted her teeth and said with an extremely displeased and contemptuous look.

But she stopped talking before she could finish.

Because Mu Ningxue didn't even glance at her.

He walked over and stood in front of the five mentors.

"I know I've been blacklisted by you, and you know why. I'm here today for only one purpose: to make you re-evaluate me..." Mu Ningxue said bluntly after approaching the group.

Song He, a student at the Imperial Academy, sighed slightly upon seeing this.

As the dean of the Imperial Capital Academy, how could he not know Mu Ningxue's strength?

Unfortunately...

The resentment from the catastrophe in the ancient capital was far too intense...

Let alone a mentor like him not daring to use Mu Ningxue, even the top leader of the country wouldn't dare to use her casually!

"Therefore, I need you to reconsider. I hope this bow of mine can erase your prejudice against me!" Mu Ningxue knew this all too well, but she still continued to plead.

"??"

Several mentors were somewhat puzzled.

Mu Ningxue didn't waste any words, directly summoning the Ice Crystal Bow and firing an arrow...

The power of that arrow was so great that it completely covered the entire area with the color of ice crystals, as if the place had instantly become an ice domain!

Mu Ningxue released her grip. Her long hair suddenly danced wildly, half-obscuring her exquisite, work-of-art-like face.

After the arrow was fired, Mu Ningxue made no move.

The mentors were completely bewildered, and the team members were all stunned.

Cao Le, however, did not make any move and simply stared at Mu Ningxue there.

To be honest, this woman is quite hardworking.

With her current skill level, she simply couldn't handle that bow. Yet, for the sake of a substitute spot, she deliberately fired a blank arrow!

But Cao Le also knew that by shooting this arrow, she still had a glimmer of hope for her future; if she didn't shoot it, her future would be shrouded in uncertainty.

Not only was she questioned by the people of the ancient capital, but she was also directly abandoned by the Mu family. Her way out was cut off, and she could only move forward. The National Games was her last hope.

"I want to participate, even if it's just as a substitute." Mu Ningxue took a deep breath and slowly crushed the Ice Crystal Bow in her hand into powder.

After regaining his senses, Feng Li looked at Mu Ningxue and said, "Your ability has indeed impressed us. We will submit an application to have your place as a substitute reserved so that you can participate in the training program with everyone else."

The moment Feng Li spoke, the matter was already settled.

Mu Ningxue was thus left behind to participate in the recent patrols, and once all the team members had arrived, they would begin their training trips.

Mu Ningxue walked over and stood to the side, essentially taking a substitute position. Moreover, her icy demeanor gave off an aura of unapproachability.

Although several male teammates were quite fond of this silver-haired beauty, they could only stand aside and pretend they weren't attracted to her in this situation.

Cao Le, on the other hand, went directly from the far left to Mu Ningxue's side.

As for the chilling aura that kept people at a distance, it had almost no effect on his hot body.

"Are you alright?" Cao Le asked after arriving at her side.

Mu Ningxue knew Cao Le had come, but she simply didn't have the energy for romance right now...

Most importantly, the situation for the two of them has now completely changed.

He became a regular member of the team, while she was just a substitute...

"Are you ignoring me?" Cao Le asked, reaching out to grasp Mu Ningxue's hand when she ignored him.

Upon touching it, an extremely cold temperature struck, but fortunately, his hellfire was strong enough that he was not frostbitten.

She wanted to refuse, to shake off Cao Le, after all, there were so many people here, but that arrow had almost drained her of all her strength, leaving her with no energy left...

After that warm hand transferred some warmth to her, Mu Ningxue seemed to finally feel a little better...

At least I'm not so cold anymore...

...

168. At a bar with Jiang Shaoxu~

Feng Li, who was giving a lecture, looked at Cao Le with his forehead veins practically bulging!

This kid is amazing!

It seemed that because Feng Li was staring in the direction of Cao Le and Mu Ningxue, everyone's attention was also drawn over.

Mu Ningxue realized it herself and hurriedly tried to get rid of Cao Le's hand.

However, Cao Le showed no intention of letting go...

"I'm fine..." Mu Ningxue had no choice but to reply.

Cao Le then released her hand and looked at Feng Li, saying, "Mentor, don't glare at me like that. With your abilities, can't you see the cost of that arrow?"
