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

Chapter 51: The Opportunity to Visit Sakura!

"Isn't this the Anjie Realm? How come there are sea monsters here?" Jiang Shaoxu asked doubtfully.

The big boy said seriously, "It's been a while, but I don't know why the higher-ups haven't sent anyone to exorcise the demon. I heard that some people from the neighboring fishing village went fishing but haven't come back."

“We’re not too afraid of sirens. Young man, why don’t you lead the way for us and take us to the port? I’ll reward you for it,” Jiang Shaoxu said, gesturing to the group with her eyes.

Mo Fan and his companions looked at each other in bewilderment. All their belongings had been taken away; they had no money left.

So all we could do was offer this big boy empty promises!
“Well…” The boy hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, “Alright, anyway, the village chief has already banned us from going out to sea to fish, and we have nothing to do in the village.”

"If you don't fish, what will you eat?" Mo Fan asked a crucial question.

"We'll just have to eat our stockpiles, but they probably won't last more than a few months. So this time when I'm in Asuka City, I also want to ask when the higher-ups will get rid of these sea monsters roaming the coast. If the sea monsters aren't dealt with, we won't dare go out to sea to fish at all," the skinny boy said.

"What's the point of going up there? You just guide your sister, and she'll help you get rid of the sea monster. It's a piece of cake, hehe," Jiang Shaoxu said.

“I’ll lead the way for you, but as for the siren… that’s not something an ordinary person can handle. I heard from Da Hu in the next village that the siren is four or five feet tall and can eat half of our fishing boat in one bite. It’s terrifying!” the skinny boy said earnestly.

Jiang Shaoxu just smiled and didn't say anything.

Hua Yu followed behind them. Knowing the original work well, Hua Yu knew that the voice that rang out in Asuka City had also appeared in cities large and small all over the world.

The root of all this is that a member of the Asian Magic Association wanted to use a special magic circle to contract the Black Dragon Emperor who was staying in Tyrant Mountain in order to realize his ambition.

Now he wanted to see how Mo Fan and the others would react when they encountered the infant whose heart had been removed.

The boy led them to the dock in Asuka City, and then left.

"Hello, mentor! Do you have any insights you could share or could you give me a hint?" Mo Fan approached Hua Yu with a cheeky grin, shamelessly asking in hopes of getting some information from Hua Yu.

“Aren’t you a hunter? Use the hunter’s methods!” Hua Yu said to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan's eyes widened as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Oh right, how come I didn't think of that!" Mo Fan exclaimed in surprise.

"What's on your mind?" Zhao Manyan crept closer.

“Everyone has their own problems that they can’t solve, and as mages, we can often help others solve them. I think in such a large port city, there’s no reason why everyone should have a smooth life… We do things for people, and they’re responsible for getting us to Japan. It’s that simple!” Mo Fan was a hunter, and he knew that the most scarce resource in a city was powerful hunter mages or mercenary mages.

They had no money, only brute force; the best solution was to help others solve their problems, whether by hunting hunters or hiring mages. Zhao Manyan instantly understood Mo Fan's meaning, his eyes filled with calculation!
Hua Yu smiled. Giving them some pointers would be good; it could speed up their progress.

In the heart of Asuka City stands a magnificent twin tower built entirely of diamond glass. This is the headquarters of the renowned Lin Group in Asuka City. It can be said that they have built half of the new buildings in the city, making them veritable city tycoons!
Inside the Linzi Building, a bearded man in a purple-blue suit sat in the rooftop conference room. His gaze passed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the city of Asuka and taking in the blue sea.

However, he sighed heavily, walked back to his desk, and marked a large red X on the city's blueprint, making it stand out conspicuously.

Just then, the door to his office was slowly pushed open, and a group of people rushed in and stood in front of the man.

"I hope you won't waste my time. There is a group of sea monsters roaming the sea around Asuka City. There were some signs seven or eight years ago, and their numbers have started to grow wildly in recent years. The city has also sent some hunters to exterminate them, but the effect has been minimal!" Lin Junxian stared sharply at the group of mages who all looked very young.

In Lin Junxian's view, this group of people was more like a group of college students going out for training. Some students from magic high schools were very strong, but in fact they were not as strong as the hunters of the Hunter Association, mainly because they had serious problems with experience and knowledge.

To defeat demons, you need brains, experience, and real combat skills, not those flashy mage-level badges!

Lin Junxian was from a prominent family. Although he knew nothing about magic, he understood that being a mage did not mean he could exterminate demons. Moreover, it was a sea monster clan. Without a mage legion, venturing in rashly could result in total annihilation!
“You don’t need to worry about these things. Since we dared to take on this job, we are naturally confident. You don’t need to question us so much now. Just give us all the information you have about the siren, help us prepare some necessary things, and then sit here in this elegant office with your female secretary and wait for our news,” Jiang Shaoxu said with exceptional confidence.

"Fine, your requests are no requests to me at all, but I must first tell you what you're going to do. This isn't something I asked you to do. If your parents, the school, or the powerful figures behind them want to pursue something, then please don't point fingers at me. This investment has failed, but I still want my reputation," Lin Junxian said.

……

Lin Junxian was generous and arranged for the fourteen of them to stay in the hotel in this building. He also had someone prepare some essential items for their demon-slaying mission.

When going out to hunt demons, the most important thing is medicine. You need to bring a dozen or twenty kinds of antidotes alone.

Toxicity doesn't only come from demons; often, certain environments also contain toxins: the air we breathe, the flowers and grasses we smell, the pervasive fog, the plants that come into contact with our skin...

Mo Fan wasn't particularly skilled at these things, but Nan Jue in the team was quite knowledgeable and simply gave them a list to purchase. The items were quite valuable.

"Speaking of which, we don't really need such a large quantity of medicine for our mission to exterminate the sea monsters, do we? Isn't your list a bit too much?" Mo Fan couldn't help but ask.

“These medicines and potions are not for this demon-slaying mission. We still have a long way to go. These are for our journey to Tokyo, Japan,” Nan Jue replied.

"You're really farsighted." Mo Fan gave Nan Jue a thumbs up.

The medicines were collected quickly, and all the necessary instruments were put into the backpack. Food and water were also readily available, and they were all the kind that could be stored for a relatively long time.

Having obtained the maps of the nearby sea area, Ai Jiang began studying them and formulating a battle plan.
