Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

"No time, let's talk about it another day."

Mu Nujiao thought Cao Le had something to do, so she had no choice but to give up.

Then, the two of them sat down and began to meditate.

...

the next day...

For an entire day, Cao Le seemed to have no intention of going out at all.

Although he was meditating, most of the time... this bastard was actually fooling around with Ai Tutu?!

"Cao Le, didn't you say you had something to do today?"

"Ok?"

Cao Le paused, not reacting for a moment.

It's mainly because of that damned woman, Ai Tutu, who keeps waving around in front of him just because she's fair-skinned!

Without the constraints, she was truly a sight to behold!

Without realizing it, Cao Le was drawn in...

"I asked you to spar last night, but you said you didn't have time!" Mu Nujiao said with some dissatisfaction.

"Ah?"

Cao Le thought for a moment, then casually pushed Ai Tutu aside. He then stood up and said, "Oh right, I have things to do today!"

"Who are you trying to fool?"

Mu Nujiao glared at Cao Le with great dissatisfaction, then pointed to the clock on the wall and said, "It's already ten o'clock at night!!!"

“Sister Mu, you still don’t understand men.” At this moment, Ai Tutu, who had been pushed away, suddenly interjected.

Before Cao Le could speak, Ai Tutu added, "This stinky man has already moved in with us, of course he's too lazy to be your sparring partner anymore!"

Mu Nujiao paused, her face full of "???"

Cao Le slapped Ai Tutu and interrupted, "The way you're talking makes it sound like I want to live with you guys?"

“Of course not, that’s despicable, you’re just lusting after our bodies,” Ai Tutu said seductively.

“Big Rabbit, while it’s good for people to be confident, what’s it to you?” Cao Le said again.

How could Ai Tutu possibly agree to this!

Who just touched me?

Now they've just left her aside?

He immediately looked ready to fight to the death and started wrestling with Cao Le...

Mu Nujiao listened to what the two were saying and initially didn't think anything of it.

But upon closer inspection...

Looking at the two people "making a fuss" over there, she finally understood.

It seems I've been tricked by AiTuTu!

So much so that she didn't try to stop the two men from "fighting" her there; she simply turned around and went upstairs.

Without Mu Nujiao, Ai Tutu immediately became timid...

Cao Le had her completely under his thumb. He dared to touch her even when Mu Nujiao was around, but now that Mu Nujiao was gone, wouldn't she become a little lamb?

Without saying a word, they quickly struggled out and ran upstairs together.

Although he's lost his suppleness, at least he finally has time to cultivate. That big rabbit is definitely plotting something against him!

All he did that day was think about how to provoke him, which shows how determined he was.

To get them, you need to get both, right?

To receive only one is an insult to one's surname.

.....

A new day has begun, and today is the day all students must be at school.

Because today marks the start of the assessment at the main campus.

Mingzhu Academy held a school-wide assembly today.

"I am very pleased because I have seen the growth of many people since the freshman orientation."

"Not long ago, someone compared the main campus's assessment to a demon looming over our entire Qing Campus. It looked down on you, spurred you on, and made you relentlessly train for it..."

"This analogy is correct. Whether you have heard about it or witnessed it firsthand, and whatever your source of information about the main campus, I firmly believe that it is not a rumor, but rather something even more brutal!"

"The Green Campus is the final stop of your youthful journey. It's the small, warm pool before you face the torrents and waterfalls. The next stop is the real magical journey. Swallow all the grievances, injustices, and hardships you suffer. No one will sympathize with the weak!"

After Dean Xiao took the stage today, he was completely different from when he first came to register.

"Therefore, students who have not reached the intermediate-level mage level in the main campus assessment are not qualified to participate. Starting today, the Qing campus will only give you three years. During these three years, you will still receive school resources and enjoy all the privileges of students. However, if you still cannot break through to the intermediate-level mage level within these three years, then after leaving Pearl Academy, please do not consider yourselves students of Pearl Academy anymore!"

Dean Xiao, who had just spoken, had to adopt a serious demeanor. But upon hearing this, many who hadn't met the standards felt a sense of inhumanity.

After Dean Xiao finished speaking, despite the great resentment...

But he still didn't care, and instead raised his voice, saying, "Do you still understand? The weak are not worthy of being formal students of our Pearl Academy. What you need to do now is to be able to stand tall and proud when I say these words again next year! So now, you can go and work hard for next year!"

Upon hearing this, the senior students who had been at the Qing Campus for some time gradually began to walk away, their faces still showing resentment and humiliation as they left.

The freshmen, however, stood there blankly.

Perhaps this is the first time in their lives they have experienced such differential treatment based on ability. In the past, regardless of the student's level, such blatant discrimination by the school would have been condemned.

As the senior students left one by one, they could only drift along with the tide...

In fact, Dean Xiao acted very ruthlessly today.

If you're weak, it's a good thing if they tell you to get lost. If you encounter a demon, the demon will only tear you in two because of your weakness!

Nearly 50,000 students came here, but only a little over 1,000 stayed.

This shows just how difficult it is for a magician to train...

After all, only the best students from various regions can join Mingzhu Academy, even those from the Qing Campus.

It is only when they reach the intermediate level that the advantages and disadvantages of scions of noble families and geniuses from commoner backgrounds become apparent.

However, after a year, most of those who reached the intermediate level of mage were still newly enrolled scions of noble families.

There are many geniuses, but what's the difference between a genius without opportunities and resources and an ordinary person?

"Congratulations to those who stayed on and entered the main campus of Pearl Academy." Dean Xiao's tone changed, just like the kind old professor who gave the freshman orientation.

These words drew dissatisfaction from many mid-level mages.

After all, if you enter the main campus like this without any assessment, doesn't that mean you won't get the rewards for being in the top ten?

You should know that the first place winner gets to enter the Three-Step Tower to cultivate!

The second and third place winners will receive a magic item.

The fourth through tenth place winners will receive some resource rewards.

Even scions of prominent families are quite interested in the rewards for the top three places!

Immediately, the crowd began to murmur among themselves...

69. Assessment Objectives

Dean Xiao clearly anticipated this discussion, but he didn't interrupt. Instead, he waited until the students finished their conversation before speaking again: "A few days ago, a Shadow Beast escaped from the military. Since it has been tamed, there's no need to worry about it harming anyone. Although the military only needs our assistance, the test I'm giving you is to capture this Shadow Beast alive and return it to the military... Finally, the person or team that captures it alive and delivers it to the Summoning Beast Cage will receive the Three-Step Tower reward!"

"..."

The moment the reward opportunity for the Three-Step Tower was announced, almost all the students were excited!

This time, although there are no top ten rewards, five three-step tower slots have been opened, which is even more tempting than the rewards for the previous assessments!

.....

When they returned to their lodgings, Ai Tutu clung to them.

"Cao Le, Cao Le... This assessment actually allows teamwork!"

"Join our group of beautiful girls! Look, with me as your strategist, and Sister Mu who is both intelligent and capable, plus you who are incredibly strong, we'll be invincible!" Ai Tutu rushed into the hall, excitedly telling Cao Le, her large, bouncy breasts swaying in front of him.

Judging from her appearance, she's clearly up to no good!

This isn't a discussion!

"Hmm... I'll think about it?" Cao Le wouldn't go looking for trouble with the Black Church, and besides, he was determined to get the Shadow Beast.

The cultivation of the Three-Step Pagoda was so wonderful that Cao Le couldn't bear to give it up after experiencing it.

Keep in mind that this is equivalent to the investment of a large number of resources by an established family.

This is his only resource advantage, so he naturally can't miss the opportunity to hunt shadow monsters.

Whether it's a single person or two girls, it doesn't make a big difference.

That being said, the Three-Step Tower is indeed ingenious, but not everyone is the same.

After all, not everyone can be like him or that idiot Mo Fan, reaching the third floor on their first visit to the Three-Step Tower.

Take Ai Tutu for example. I'm afraid even the second level is a hurdle she can't overcome.

Mu Nujiao estimated that the first level was the limit.

It wasn't that Cao Le looked down on them, but once they entered the Three-Step Tower and climbed the steps, they needed more than just blue tubes; they also needed spiritual strength!

Most people's mental strength is at level one.

Under that kind of suppression, it was already quite an achievement to be able to reach the first level.

But the second and third floors... it's uncertain!

After all, they were just ordinary magicians.

But that's not something he should be thinking about. Besides, since she's already come to demonstrate, how can he not put in some effort?
