Full-Time Magister: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 23 High-Level Space Mage

Most of them returned from the trip to the outer city wall looking disheveled. Their magic, which they were so proud of, was completely useless against the undead. Their initial smugness about being able to cast spells vanished instantly.

Several teachers had originally planned to have the students organize themselves to hunt lone undead, but after witnessing how terrifying these undead were, they all abandoned the idea, deciding that the school was the more practical option.

Tomorrow they will visit the ancient capital's academy.

Some of these people might become members of the ancient capital's academy in two years.

……

The ancient capital's academy is vast, located within the inner city. Towering walls completely enclose the inner city. While the outer city might encounter undead attacks, this is not an issue within the inner city.

The ancient capital academy is divided into many campuses. Senior students live in the inner campus, while freshmen live in the outer campus. Their magical cultivation is relatively lagging behind, but it is still not comparable to that of Su Ming and others.

Exceptions apply to special cases, such as water and ice magic. Students at the Ancient Capital Academy must be able to cast at least the third level of beginner-level magic, otherwise they will not be able to enroll.

Unlike magic schools, which are different from academies, students at magic schools cannot cast spells, so the allocation of resources is decided by the school.

The students at the academy are all capable of casting spells. Resources here can only be obtained through one's own efforts. Each department has a ranking system, and the only way to acquire resources is through strength.

Rankings are earned through hard work, and the higher the ranking, the more resources are allocated.

Therefore, each department holds competitions periodically to re-rank the students. Of course, the timing is not fixed. If you want to improve your ranking as soon as possible, you can apply to the department head. Once approved, you can participate in the competition.

"Today is the day for the re-ranking of the lightning-type students. Let's go take a look over there." Liu Weiwei led the way. People from magic schools often come to the ancient capital to organize visits, so the academies along the way are used to it. Among these people, there might be their juniors in the future.

"Are there many lightning-type schools here?" Fang Ming asked. Their school only had lightning-type schools, but the Ancient Capital Academy actually set up a department specifically for lightning-type schools.

He had never left Zhoucheng, and his knowledge of those top universities was limited to information he had seen online.

"Thunder element is relatively rare; there are only about a hundred new Thunder element students enrolled in the ancient capital."

"One hundred...one hundred..." Fang Ming stammered. One hundred! That's lightning element, one in a thousand lightning element. There were so many. Fang Ming had truly broadened his horizons.

"I'm leaving for a bit," Jiang Shaoxu told the teacher in charge, and then left the group.

There is no danger within the academy, and teachers do not restrict students' activities. They can go wherever they want, as long as they return before sunset.

A few students left out of curiosity, but most stayed with the group, all eagerly anticipating the duel between the lightning mages.

That's lightning magic! It's a great honor to witness a battle between lightning mages.

Liu Weiwei only reluctantly withdrew her gaze after Jiang Shaoxu's figure disappeared.

He was to lead the team to the Thunder Element training ground and could not leave his post without permission.

"Boss, what do you think Jiang Shaoxu went to do?"

"I don't know, I'm not a mind reader," Su Ming said irritably.

The ancient capital's academy is very large; I've been walking for so long and still haven't found it.

He was very interested in the battles at the Thunder Academy, as it would be a good opportunity to learn about the explosive power of elemental magic. He wondered if his Void Claw could withstand a Thunder Seal of the same level.

Su Ming was fiddling with a few stars when he was suddenly stared at by a gaze.

A man with long hair and sharp eyes stood under the shade of a tree not far away, staring at Su Ming as if he were deep in thought.

"Who is that person?" Fang Ming also noticed the strange man, who seemed to be staring at them.

"What? Who?" Liu Weiwei looked over, exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, that one? A weirdo from the Space Department."

"Why call it a freak?" Su Ming leaned closer and asked.

Liu Weiwei was speechless. So what if he's a freak? Why the fuss? He thought for a moment and said, "The school calls him a freak, but I don't know the specifics. He's a very senior student."

"There aren't many people in the Space Department, so he's always been the focus of attention. I heard that he never attends classes and you can't see him all year round. He even got into a fight with the head of the Space Department, but the principal stopped him."

Liu Weiwei suddenly laughed and said, "By the way, his name is Mu Qiannian."

"That Mu family from the capital?" Fang Ming exclaimed in surprise, somewhat incredulous.

"Yes, it's the Mu family from the capital. They probably awakened a spatial ability and couldn't survive in the vast ice-type families, so they came to the ancient capital," Liu Weiwei said with some speculation.

The Mu family of the capital city is the backer of the Han family of Zhoucheng. They are a true behemoth. Although we don't know exactly how powerful they are, we can tell how powerful the Mu family is just from the Han family.

Su Ming doesn't know much about clans in China. Sometimes he can see them online, like the Zhao clan in Shanghai and the Mu clan in Beijing.

These two are the most famous and frequently appear in the news.

"A mid-level mage?" Su Ming asked, his gaze suddenly falling on Mu Qiannian, leaving only a transparent white glow under the shade of the tree.

"Holy crap, this person has disappeared."

"Damn, is this magic? It can just disappear into thin air. That's so cool."

Liu Weiwei sneered, it was time to show off her erudition, "That's high-level spatial magic, instantaneous movement, it can cross several hundred meters in an instant, lol, that's where it is."

A figure could indeed be seen several hundred meters away. His back looked a lot like Mu Qiannian, but it was too far away to be sure.

"Hehe, Su Ming, you should learn from this master. When you release Instantaneous Movement, you'll definitely be very impressive." Fang Ming chuckled.

"Yeah, Su Ming, you're the only one among us who's a space mage. We light-type mages can never pull off that kind of cool in our entire lives."

A space-type mage, this little brat?

Liu Weiwei focused her attention. She had thought he was just an ordinary elementalist kid, but she hadn't expected him to be a space-type.

This is no longer his junior. If a space-related student wants to apply to the Archaeology Academy, they only need to master the second level of retreat, and he still has two years, which is basically enough time.

Spatial abilities, instantaneous movement, traversing hundreds of meters in a flash—this skill…

So handsome.

They soon arrived at the Thunder Element training ground, which was utterly inadequate compared to the training ground in the ancient capital.

Even from outside, one could faintly hear the shouts from inside; the thunderous roar penetrated the training ground, stirring the hearts of all who heard it.

"We're here, let's go in," Liu Weiwei said with a smile, stepping forward to speak with the teacher and indicating that they were a group of students from a magic school.

The teacher let them through as soon as they learned they were students from a magic school.

As you walk in, the view suddenly opens up, and there are two lightning mages dueling.

The violent lightning danced wildly in the field, and the thunderbolts as thick as an arm made people's scalps tingle, fearing that such lightning would strike them.

The ground seemed to be affected, with static electricity flowing through it.

"Damn, we're so lucky! These are two of the Thunder element's aces going head-to-head." Liu Weiwei said excitedly, leaving them there. "You guys watch for yourselves, I'm going to go check it out over there."

After Liu Weiwei left, Zhong Xiao came over. She was rather quiet and didn't like to talk much. She always stayed at the back of the group. Since Liu Weiwei wasn't there, it was her turn to go on stage.

As a result, Zhong Xiao's explanation revealed that the two people who were dueling were the first and second place in the Thunder element, and this was a duel initiated by the second place against the first place.

To determine who is the king of the lightning element.

No wonder it was so terrifying.

Su Ming felt that he couldn't even withstand one bolt of lightning striking down from the sky, and there were dozens of such bolts, one after another, stretching endlessly, causing an extreme shock.

Both of these men were mid-level mages. In addition to lightning, they could also occasionally unleash fire and water. Although it wasn't as shocking as the magical bombardment on the outer city walls, it was still a level they couldn't reach.

……

In another part of the ancient capital's academy, Jiang Shaoxu found a man with delicate features.

He was meditating, and nothing around him could disturb him. Jiang Shaoxu's arrival did not attract his attention.

"Brother!" Jiang Shaoxu kicked the man, interrupting his meditation.

"Ouch!" The man cried out in pain, landing face down, and was about to get angry at the bastard for being so blind.

Upon seeing that it was Jiang Shaoxu, the man immediately put on a smile. He was pleasantly surprised, as he hadn't expected to meet Jiang Shaoxu here.

"Shaoxu, why did you kick me for no reason?"

"Would you wake up if I didn't kick you?" Jiang Shaoxu pouted. "I came to ask you for a favor."

"No problem." The man smiled and readily agreed.

His name is Jiang Shaoze, Jiang Shaoxu's youngest cousin, a second-year student at the Ancient Capital Academy, and a mid-level mage.

"Okay, no problem, I've got it covered. I guarantee I won't give myself away." Jiang Shaoze perked up immediately when he heard that he was going to teach a lesson to someone who was so arrogant and liked to bully his cousin.

"Remember, don't give yourself away. If they find out I asked you to do this, you're finished."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Jiang Shaoze nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He didn't understand why his younger sister wanted to do this.

They fought back after being bullied; what are the Jiang family afraid of?

Who is so powerful? Is their influence even greater than that of the Chiang family?

If he can't beat someone, he calls his older brother; if his older brother can't beat him, he calls his cousin; if his cousin can't beat him, he calls his other cousin; if his cousin can't beat him, he calls...

There's no way my older cousin couldn't beat him.

Although Jiang Shaoze was puzzled, he was too lazy to think about it and decided to teach that kid named Su Ming a lesson.
