Full-Time Magister: The Calamity of Fire, the Emperor's Flame Burns the Heavens

Chapter 48: The National Government's Final Selection - Mu Ningxue Becomes a Formal Team Member!
As the meeting ended, everyone left the conference room.

The next step is the final stage of the selection process for members of the National Government.

All the contestants who receive votes will gather in the capital for a magical duel.

Those individuals they discussed earlier will become the focus of their attention.

The Imperial Capital Academy at this time.

Mu Ningxue arrived at the dean's office.

"Ning Xue, I've received some news. I heard that among the current National Academy instructors, someone has gone against the majority opinion and proposed to include you as a formal team member."

"Who is it?" Mu Ningxue couldn't believe it; someone was actually willing to include her, someone who had been abandoned, in the official team.

“I don’t know,” Songhe said, shaking his head.

After all this time, there's still no news about the National Academy's mentors.

"All you need to do now is prepare yourself and show your full strength in front of your mentors during the final selection at the National Academy." That was all Songhe could say.

His help could only go this far; everything else still depended on Mu Ningxue herself.

If he ultimately fails to become a member of the Nationalist government, then there's nothing he can do.

"Okay, I understand, thank you, Dean." Mu Ningxue was silent for a moment, then thanked him and turned to leave the dean's office.

-

One morning, the sun had just pierced through the clouds and was shining on the earth.

Something will happen today: the final stage of the National Government selection process.

Hua Yu arrived at the Imperial Capital Academy early in the morning.

All the magic duels today will be held at the Imperial Capital Academy.

At the heart of the academy stands a magnificent magical arena.

The entire venue is shaped like a star, and the surrounding area is a spacious seating area that can accommodate 5 people, making it grand and impressive.

This duel ground is rarely open, and it is impossible to hold a magic duel here that has not reached a certain level.

Besides Huayu, the other four national server mentors also arrived here early.

At this moment, a group of young magicians were standing below the stage, including Zhao Manyan, Mo Fan and others.

However, besides them, there were a few other people standing in the audience.

They were the pre-selected members, led by Ai Jiangtu, the captain of the National Government team.

Among them are Nan Jue, Jiang Shaoxu, Nan Rongni, and Jiang Yu. All four of them possess special magic abilities.

With Huayu's arrival, the final selection process has finally begun.

As time passed, Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Guan Yu, and Zu Jiming were officially selected. However, it seemed that one spot was still reserved for the official team, and Hua Yu and the others on stage seemed to be waiting for someone.

"Strange, I suddenly feel a bit cold. Has the temperature dropped?"

"Isn't that Mu Ningxue?"

"It seems she's been put on the waiting list, and I've even heard she'll most likely be removed from the list... It all depends on what the members of parliament think."

Mu Tingying stood in the crowd, looking at Mu Ningxue who was walking slowly towards her with a hint of sarcasm.

"Hey Mu Ningxue, did you come to the wrong place? This is a ceremony for the main players. Putting aside your status as a substitute, it's not even certain whether you'll be considered a national team player in the future..." said a girl with brown hair in the crowd.

She was Mu Tingying, a person strongly recommended by the Mu family.

Mu Tingying loathed Mu Ningxue because, despite her status in the Mu clan, she had become this little bitch's substitute and had been overshadowed by Mu Ningxue's reputation for so many years. Finally, heaven had opened its eyes and helped her this time, so Mu Tingying was naturally extremely smug.

Mu Ningxue ignored her and walked straight to Hua Yu and the others.

The mentors at the National Academy are all people of high rank and power. It can be said that no matter how many votes each contestant has, the final decision-making power is actually in the hands of these five national mentors!

Unfortunately, Hua Yu and his group were absolutely biased towards no one. The fact that they became instructors at the National Academy meant that they had only one goal: to achieve the highest ranking in the world's academic competition!

The competition among the world's top universities may seem like a contest among young mages, but each country invests an enormous amount in it, and even the allocation of many crucial resources is entirely determined by the rankings in this competition...

The competition between universities is no child's play; most importantly, it attracts worldwide attention!

“I know I’ve been blacklisted by you, and you know why. I’m here today for only one purpose.”

"It's to make you re-examine me..." Mu Ningxue stood in front of the five mentors and said earnestly, word by word.

"I hope this bow of mine can erase your prejudice against me!"

"What bow?" Apart from Hua Yu, the other mentors looked puzzled.

Mu Ningxue didn't say anything more. She turned around, her icy eyes fixed on the magnificent dueling arena.

Mu Ningxue didn't say anything more. She turned around, her icy eyes fixed on the magnificent dueling arena. Suddenly, her long, snow-silver hair danced in the air, and her thick skirt swayed with it. Her slender and graceful figure appeared exceptionally alluring under the inexplicable surge of icy wind!
Born with an ice-elemental spirit, her snow-white hair flowed freely, and her skin was as smooth as ice. She was indeed the most perfect ice mage; her focus on ice magic and her aura that blended seamlessly with ice and snow amazed several of the national academy's instructors!
However, Mu Ningxue wasn't there to flaunt her natural icy beauty. She slowly opened her arms, and countless ice crystals gathered before her, gradually transforming into a stunning ice bow!

There was no string, no arrow. Yet Mu Ningxue drew it back, and a beautiful, translucent arrow appeared between her half-curled index and middle fingers!

"Buzz~~~~~~~~~~~~"

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

The ice crystal arrow shot out with a whoosh, instantly creating an ice and snow storm that filled the vast arena! The arrow flew into the sky, arced through the open dome, and then plummeted onto the Mangxing Duel Platform.

Ice crystals spread wildly, the chill dispelling everything. Before people could even believe the power of Mu Ningxue's arrow, the falling arrow struck the ground, and the entire dueling arena turned to ice!
The power of ice even crossed the barrier and froze the rows of seats.

The seats were empty, yet they turned to ice in the blink of an eye...

Half of the arena was shrouded in ice, covered in ice crystals, and the flowing luster made it not only beautiful but also visually stunning!
"Very good, Hua Yu, is this the person you recommended?" Jiang Shaoli looked at Mu Ningxue with shining eyes. He really wanted to recommend her to the army.
