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

Chapter 5 Military Transfer Order, Nan Jue's Deep Affection!
"Ah, that's a pity." Dawajan sighed, shook his head, and left the office.

If Hua Yu's pill, which can enhance mental strength, could circulate within the military, the military's strength would be greatly enhanced, while the number of military mages who sacrifice themselves would be greatly reduced.

Shi Junshou was naturally aware of these benefits, but since it was Hua Yu's technology, she couldn't force him to do it. Moreover, they didn't know the requirements for refining pills, so she had to put the matter aside for the time being.

However, Dawa Kian's idea was exactly the same as Hua Yu's, but they didn't know Hua Yu's thoughts, so they just missed the opportunity to cooperate with Hua Yu.

Meanwhile, Hua Yu said goodbye to Nan Jue and returned to his dormitory.

"It seems that promoting elixirs is a long and arduous task!" Hua Yu lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. "Forget it, let's take it slowly. After all, the elixir formula still needs time to be researched."

A thick book, "The Encyclopedia of Magical Plants," lay open to his chest, while the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window, casting dappled light and shadow on the ceiling.

In the original novel, Mo Fan was able to break through to the Super Rank at the age of 24 thanks to various opportunities. If he had relied on meditation on his own, the time it would have taken to break through to the Super Rank would probably have been delayed even further.

Therefore, Hua Yu's current goal is to break through to the Super Rank within two years. During this period, he can also study pill formulas to see if he can refine pills that can improve his cultivation.

Hua Yu picked up a book, stood up, and sat down in the chair in front of the desk. On the desk was a notebook containing prescriptions that Hua Yu had developed based on the medicinal properties of various herbs.

These prescriptions are still in the theoretical stage and need to be proven through various practices. Hua Yu picked up his pen, laid the books out on his desk, and began his daily studies.

And so, the days passed by, and soon it was time for Hua Yu to leave the Western Military Region.

During Hua Yu's daily physical training, a military strategist ran up to him, saluted him, and then said, "Hua Yu, Commander Shi requests your presence at the Military Intelligence Building!"

"Okay, I'll be right there," Hua Yu said, wiping the sweat that was about to drip from his chin.

Hua Yu finished his training and went to the military commander's office in the military building, where the military commander was already waiting.

"Xiao Huayu, this is your transfer order. I didn't expect you to leave so soon. If it weren't for your career development, I really would have liked you to stay." Commander Shi sighed as he placed a transfer order on the table.

The military headquarters under his command had finally acquired a prodigy. Although he was someone else's child, as a fellow military leader, he was practically his own child. Now, he was truly reluctant to let Hua Yu go.

"Aunt Shi, I'll come to see you when I have time," Hua Yu said to Shi Junshou with a smile.

"Hmm?" When Shi Junshou heard Hua Yu's words, she narrowed her eyes. Clearly, Hua Yu was not satisfied with how she addressed him.

Hua Yu's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, then he cautiously asked again, "Sister Shi?"

Commander Shi was very pleased to hear this address, while Hua Yu was quite nervous. After all, a woman's age is a secret. Although Commander Shi looked like a woman in her twenties or thirties, she was actually over forty. He had only learned this information by chance from Hua Zhanhong.

"Should we say goodbye to Xiao Nan before we leave?" Commander Shi looked at Hua Yu with a smile, then glanced behind Hua Yu.

Hua Yu followed Shi Junshou's gaze and looked back, and saw Nan Jue standing at the door. She had obviously run all the way here. The collar of her military uniform was slightly open, and the stray hairs on her forehead were stuck to her skin with sweat. Her chest was still heaving violently.

Commander Shi nodded, signaling Nan Jue to take Hua Yu out. Nan Jue noticed Commander Shi's subtle gesture towards her and made up her mind. She stepped forward and, to Hua Yu's astonishment, pulled him out of the office to a secluded, deserted spot. Sunlight streamed through the window, casting their shadows in the corner.

"When are you leaving?" Nan Jue asked, staring at Hua Yu.
During the two years of military training, Hua Yu's face still retained a bit of immaturity, but he was also transforming into a more mature man. His handsome face made Nan Jue's heart race.

"The transfer order has been issued in the last couple of days," Hua Yu paused for a moment, "I'm about to have my coming-of-age ceremony, are you free then?"

Nan Jue was slightly taken aback when she heard Hua Yu's words.

"Mmm," he said, then smiled and nodded.

She never expected that Hua Yu would invite her to his coming-of-age ceremony. Given Hua Yu's family background, he would only invite the highest-ranking people and his closest confidants, but now...
Nan Jue took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes with her slender fingers, gently tiptoeing.

A kiss as light as a feather gently landed on Hua Yu's cheek.

Just as she was about to separate, a strong arm suddenly wrapped around her waist.

Nan Jue was pulled into that warm embrace by a force. She opened her eyes wide in surprise and before she could react, she felt a warm touch on her lips.

"Well!"

Hua Yu's kiss came suddenly yet gently, and was quite innocent. Nan Jue's hair clip, which was holding her hair in place, was accidentally touched and fell to the ground. Her long black hair spread out, shimmering like satin in the sunlight.

Nan Jue's body stiffened for a moment, then he slowly closed his eyes, his fingers unconsciously climbing up his shoulder.

In the distance came the sound of the changing of the guard horn, startling a flock of birds. At this moment, in their world, only the sound of their intertwined breaths remained.

Hua Yu reluctantly let go when the two were almost suffocating. Nan Jue's lips were glistening with moisture, her cheeks were flushed, and she was breathing heavily. Her forehead rested on Hua Yu's shoulder, too shy to look up at him.

This was the first time she had faced her own feelings. As a military mage of the Dragon Kingdom, she was not lacking in courage, but when it came to love, she could only proceed with extreme caution.

But now, Huayu has given her the answer.

Huayu would naturally not let go of this free opportunity that came knocking on their door. Back down? Impossible.

"Could you—" Nan Jue's voice was so soft it was almost inaudible—" let go first?"

However, Hua Yu, with his sharp ears, still heard it. "No, hug me again~" Hua Yu said, rubbing Nan Jue's cheek.

Nan Jue couldn't do anything about Hua Yu, but it was quite comfortable to just hold him like that.

At that moment, neither of the two intimately aware that at the corner of the corridor, Commander Shi was leaning against the wall with a gratified smile on his face, quietly turning and leaving.
