Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

"Jinlin City? I've never heard of such a city before." Jingjing, who has a great knowledge of geography, couldn't help but ask.

She was a genius with an amazing memory; she remembered all the cities in the country very clearly. However, she had never heard of Jinlin City, which Dean Songhe mentioned.

"That's because... it was erased from the map fifteen years ago," Professor Qiu Yuhua of Mingzhu University replied.

The students from both schools were taken aback upon hearing this...

They all understand what it means to be erased from the map.

However, no one dares to imagine how a well-defended city could be breached.

Doesn't the government offer any support?

Dean Songhe looked at the group, a hint of unpleasant recollection in his eyes, and began to recount the events of the past...

The reason he understood it so clearly was because he was the one who discovered the disaster.

After Songhe finished speaking, someone asked if their training ground was some kind of desolate city.

Songhe actually nodded...

Of course, according to some hunters, the demon race in that desolate city seems to have begun to relocate.

Some hunter mages have even gone there to explore and have already returned.

That's why this training exercise was held there.

The Pearl Academy and the Imperial Capital Academy wanted to jointly publish a paper about that desolate city. This group of people was responsible for collecting data there.

This task is clearly not easy; even some hunters who spend their lives in the wild might not be able to survive in such a place.

However, as geniuses in a prestigious academy, the trials they must undergo are naturally not easy.

Otherwise, how could he be considered a genius in yarn?

Dean Songhe rambled on for a long time, but in the end he only expressed one request: that he come back alive no matter what.

Of course, quite a few students die in the wilderness during their university experiences. But this is unavoidable.

To continue fighting against demons, this step of training is essential.

...

After Dean Songhe gave his instructions, the group of seventeen people from the two academies embarked on their training journey.

The Pearl Academy has nine students, but the reason they have one more is because there is a healing mage among this year's freshmen.

A healing mage in the wild is practically the darling of the group.

As for the Imperial Academy, apart from one person who did not participate in the sparring that day, the other eight all participated in the training.

After arriving in Corning, the closest city to Jinlin City, by air, they had no choice but to walk from there onwards.

Because if you continue walking, you will be outside the safe zone.

Outside the safe zone, no means of transportation can be used. Not only would they be too noisy, but they might not even be as fast as the demons. Moreover, magicians are clearly more robust than ordinary people, and even when walking, they are not slow at all.

Along the way, Mo Fan listened to Jingjing recount the stories of the demon race and tribes...

"Hehe, Jingjing, you don't need to explain so clearly. Our classmate Mo Fan has experienced the Bloodstained Alert and knows better what a demon army of a race is... Am I right, Mo Fan?" Luo Song laughed, his words carrying a hint of teasing.

"Fatty, do you want to experience the pleasures of hell?" Before Mo Fan could speak, Cao Le stared directly at Luo Song and asked.

Similarly, Mu Ningxue, who was walking ahead, suddenly looked at him with a chilling aura.

Luo Song was genuinely unhappy with Mo Fan, but offending the two strongest members of the team all at once was clearly not a rational idea.

So he immediately shut up obediently...

By this time, they had traveled nearly fifty miles and were now approaching the area where the demons were active.

Song Xia looked at the map she had brought and suggested following the abandoned railway. Although the railway had been destroyed, the intermittently visible tracks served as a natural wayfinding marker, and following them would eventually lead to Jinlin City!

Her suggestion was correct, but Lu Zhenghe from the capital city said that since both sides were acting together, there had to be someone in charge.

In their team, he was in charge of command.

To put it bluntly, he's just a show-off idiot.

Ultimately, they are from two different schools, so Mingzhu naturally can't revolve around him. Zheng Bingxiao suggested that Song Xia take charge here, and that everyone should discuss things together when problems arise.

Cao Le had no objections; after all, leading a team involved too much worry, and he wasn't interested. Besides, while Song Xia was a bit violent, she was ultimately quite responsible.

Zhao Manyan had been thinking about the girls in the team all the way here, wondering if he could hook up with one of them. Of course, he wasn't interested in commanding.

Mo Fan and Mu Nujiao had no objection to Song Xia being in command.

As for Luo Song, he chose to keep a low profile. In this desolate wilderness, if he said anything too outrageous and got killed, it would be a huge loss.

Shen Mingxiao was quite interested in being the conductor, but unfortunately, nobody paid any attention to him.

After deciding on two team leaders, everyone continued on their way. At this moment, Mu Nujiao asked curiously, "Cao Le, do you and Mo Fan know Mu Ningxue?"

Mu Ningxue's sudden turn to stare at Luo Song was clearly somewhat unexpected.

"Yes, we know each other." Cao Le nodded, then added, "We're both from Bocheng."

"No wonder Luo Song got angry when she mentioned Bo City earlier," Mu Nujiao instantly understood. She then looked at Cao Le, and then at Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue in front of her, and remarked with admiration, "Bo City is really something else, producing a few monsters like you..."

Are you praising me or insulting me?

Cao Le felt there was something awkward about it...

Upon hearing this, Mu Nujiao covered her mouth and blushed. Although she realized that what she said was a bit... however, since it was just her and Cao Le here, there was nothing to be ashamed of.

She probably didn't even realize it herself, but when she was with Cao Le, she was changing more and more...

.....

85. Tunnel

Cao Le didn't elaborate, but instead said with an air of superiority, "Perhaps a disaster has given us too many reasons to become stronger."

Mu Nujiao sensed that Cao Le seemed somewhat disappointed.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Their homes were destroyed, and they were forced to leave their homes. It's normal to feel lost...

"sorry..."

Cao Le found it somewhat amusing, then countered, "Jiaojiao, why are you suddenly apologizing to me? Could it be that you have someone else in your heart?"

He did feel heartbroken when Bo City fell. After all, it was a place where he had lived for so long.

You can bring your own sister along; isn't that home?

Sadness and grief are only temporary; he has long since let go of them.

Upon hearing Cao Le's words, Mu Nu's delicate face immediately turned red!

She glared at him angrily, clearly feeling tricked and throwing a tantrum.

Because the two of them were in the middle, Shen Mingxiao and Liao Mingxuan, who had some ideas about Mu Nujiao, would turn around from time to time, and they were quite unhappy about it!

However, their dissatisfaction was clearly a source of great satisfaction for Cao Le.

Seeing Mu Nujiao wearing a tight-fitting long-sleeved shirt that perfectly accentuated her bust, and the fragrance emanating from her body being especially alluring in that narrow area, even her breath seemed to possess a special, seductive magic...

In other words, you can't experience the feel of the controls; otherwise, the journey would have been much more enjoyable.

As the railway continued its journey, it naturally encountered some troubles along the way. However, these were mostly minor demons or lone warrior-level monsters.

When the seventeen of them encountered them, there was almost no pressure. Each of them used a spell to easily kill them.

Everyone here is a mid-level mage, and a group of promising young mid-level mages at that. These mere servant-level demons are nothing compared to them; they'll be annihilated in a matter of minutes...

“I’ve looked at the map. This tunnel is two kilometers long. Judging from the frequency of the demons we’ve encountered before, it’s very likely that demons inhabit this tunnel. I suggest that we cross this mountain directly and avoid dealing with unknown species and numbers of creatures in the dark cave.” Song Xia said to the group behind her when they arrived at a tunnel.

“I say you’re being too cautious. Who cares what’s inside? Just charge straight through. This tunnel is two kilometers long, so who knows how long it will take to cross this entire mountain,” Lu Zhenghe immediately objected.

It wasn't that he was deliberately looking for trouble; it's just that the tunnel wasn't that huge, and even if there were demons stationed inside, they wouldn't be very powerful.

Instead of wasting time traversing mountains and valleys, we might as well just charge straight through from here.

After all, when traversing mountains and valleys, no one can guarantee that they won't encounter any demons or monsters.

Then several people suggested that they just go there. In everyone's opinion, even if there were demons in this kind of place, they should just be some servants.

Since everyone here is a mid-level mage, there's nothing to fear.

"My Rock Golem will go first; it can hold off any situation for a while," Zheng Bingxiao said, summoning the Rock Golem to the group by drawing a moonlit star trail.

This was his dimensional summoning, and in this tunnel, the servant-level summon, which wasn't particularly large, was obviously the one that should be at the front.

For warrior-level opponents, Lu Zhenghe and Mo Fan's two wolves are suitable, but for shadow generals or rock trolls, they simply cannot perform their moves effectively.

After arranging the vanguard, Xu Dalong, who cultivates the earth element, took the lead.

As an earth mage, he can provide defense when in danger, making him a suitable person to cover the rear.

Leading the charge were Liao Mingxuan and Shen Mingxiao, both wind-elemental specialists capable of the fastest emergency response. Following them were Zhao Manyan and Song Xia, both possessing the Radiant skill, controlling orbs of light to hover above their heads and illuminate the path ahead...

After entering the cave, Cao Le looked around. To be honest, this seemed to be the first time he had left Anjie.

That experience in high school was clearly not much of an experience.

However, whether it was due to his superior skills and boldness, or because he clearly understood the creatures inhabiting this place, he was not flustered at all and just walked around leisurely.

Seeing this, Mu Nujiao couldn't help but remind her, "We're in the wild, can't you be a little more careful?!"

"You really have the leisure to be here flirting? Don't end up dying without even knowing how. As far as I know, many mid-level mages have been killed by servant-level creatures because they thought they were powerful enough, or they died from poisoning. As a mid-level hunter, I advise you to always be vigilant," Liao Mingxuan reminded him with the tone of someone who had been through it all.

Cao Le didn't need to think to know that this person had no good intentions.

After all, he hadn't really hidden his feelings for Mu Nujiao along the way.

Mu Nujiao was too lazy to pay attention, but how could she not know what this person was thinking?

Cao Le wouldn't say anything, after all, he wasn't Mu Nujiao's anything, and besides, even if there was something between them, he wasn't the kind of person to hold a grudge.

If anything were to happen, given Cao Le's character, he'd probably be allowed to live during the day, but he'd likely kill him at night.

"Don't you feel like something's watching us...?" After walking for a while, Mu Nujiao took the initiative to approach and asked.

Cao Le looked around and then said, "They're just a few little demons, nothing to worry about."
