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

Chapter 9: A Clash of Geniuses - Hua Yu vs. Ai Jiangtu!
Hua Yuezhu was completely speechless.

A man and a woman alone in a room, actually sitting on the sofa in the living room playing video games?

It's ultimately not a good idea to force two people together without asking their opinions.

"Since that's the case, let's just forget about it for now." Hua Yuezhu had come to a decision.

Rather than letting the two little ones fall apart and become unable to get along in the future, it's better to let them develop a better relationship.

Before they knew it, evening had arrived, and after dinner, the group returned to their rooms.

Ai Tutu was naturally taken back to her room by Hua Yuezhu. Although there were other empty rooms, Hua Yuezhu said that she was afraid Ai Tutu would be too lonely by herself.

The first thing Hua Yu did upon returning to his room was to begin his daily routine: he took out a futon, placed it on the floor, sat cross-legged on it, and began meditating.

Hua Yu's ability to reach the advanced level in two years was not only due to his talent, but also to Di Yan's continuous tempering of magical energy and his daily meditation, which gave him his current strength.

The next morning, sunlight streamed in through the curtains.

As the alarm clock rang, Hua Yu groggily got out of bed and walked into the bathroom with his messy hair.

Not long after, Hua Yu appeared in the lobby on the first floor.

Hua Yu was dressed in a black suit. His handsome face still had a youthful innocence, and his posture was upright. He was noble and had the unyielding spirit of a military mage.

Hua Yuezhu also came down in a formal suit and saw her younger brother's handsome appearance.

"Not bad, not bad." Hua Yuezhu nodded with satisfaction.

Hua Yu noticed that Ai Tutu wasn't with Hua Yuezhu and asked in confusion, "Sister Yuezhu, where's Ai Tutu?"

"TuTu left early this morning, saying she needed to prepare properly."

Hua Yu nodded after listening. At such a grand event, dressing up in formal attire is the norm and a sign of respect for the host.

Today's coming-of-age ceremony is also an opportunity for him to demonstrate his power to the outside world.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?"

"No, that old fox Hua Zhanhong actually set up such a remote place for his son's coming-of-age ceremony that it's impossible to get into those confidential areas."

"What should we do then? This is a task that the old man values ​​very much."

"What else can we do? Are we going to force our way in? I'd better retreat first; my life is more important."

After saying that, the person left, and the other person, seeing that his teammate had left, also chose to leave.

"The military leader was right after all; someone will take this opportunity to risk infiltrating."

Just after the two left, a burly man in military uniform came out and silently watched the direction they had gone.

The news quickly reached Hua Zhanhong's ears, and he frowned, "What exactly is that old guy from the Mu family trying to do!"

Hua Zhanhong pondered. This old guy went to the far south and returned as the sole survivor. He had been staying at home ever since, yet now he dared to send people to investigate military secrets.

Hua Zhanhong's eyes darkened, and it was unclear what he was planning.

Hua Yu and Hua Yuezhu arrived at Nan Jue's residence. As arranged by Hua Zhanhong, she did not stay with the other guests, but instead stayed in a small building next to the courtyard.

Nan Jue wore a white shirt that perfectly accentuated her tall figure, paired with denim shorts that revealed her long, slender, and fair legs. Hua Yu was completely captivated by Nan Jue's attire; after all, almost everyone in the military wore uniforms, and Nan Jue was no exception. This novel outfit gave Hua Yu a rather refreshing feeling.

Nan Jue felt a little uncomfortable under Hua Yu's gaze, so she turned her head away to tidy up the stray hairs hanging beside her face and cover up her embarrassment.

"We should go," Hua Yu said, extending his hand to Nan Jue.

Nan Jue looked at Hua Yu's outstretched hand with some surprise. She didn't expect Hua Yu to be so blatant, but she still took Hua Yu's hand.

Hua Yuezhu watched the interaction between the young couple with great satisfaction.

The group then headed towards the venue, which was built by a master earth architect commissioned by Hua Zhanhong for Hua Yu's coming-of-age ceremony.

The venue consists of two parts: a special magic duel arena and a hall for entertaining distinguished guests.

As time went on, guests who came to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony arrived one after another at the venue.

The main characters are usually the last to appear, so Nan Jue and Hua Yuezhu quietly slipped in, leaving the opportunity for Hua Yu to shine in front of everyone.

Hua Zhanhong also arrived at the venue, preparing to go in with Hua Yu.

As the venue doors slowly opened, everyone's eyes turned to the doors.

Hua Zhanhong and his son Hua Yu strode confidently into the venue, and their appearance was met with thunderous applause.

Hua Yu's coming-of-age ceremony has officially begun. After all the formalities, the main event is about to begin.

Many elders present brought their younger generations to broaden their horizons, including many talented mages from aristocratic families, clans, and organizations.

If these talented mages are interested, they can choose to challenge each other in the dueling arena, or they can challenge today's protagonist, Hua Yu.

These so-called geniuses, at the urging of their elders, began to rub their hands together, preparing for the upcoming challenge.

"How about I start the round for everyone?" Hua Yu said with a smile, looking at the group of genius mages. Without waiting for their agreement, "Brother Ai, let's have a match!"

Hua Yu turned his gaze to Ai Jiangtu, who was sitting to the side drinking red wine.

When Ai Jiangtu heard Hua Yu mention his name, he downed the glass of red wine in one gulp, stood up, and stared at Hua Yu with his cold, piercing brown eyes.

“Come on!” Ai Jiangtu accepted the challenge, which was also his main purpose for coming here.

"Go, big brother!" Dressed in her finest attire, Ai Tutu waved her arms to cheer on Ai Jiangtu.

Beside Ai Tutu sat a woman with an absolutely stunningly beautiful face and a captivatingly graceful figure.

The only person who could sit with Ai Tutu was her best friend, Mu Nujiao.

"TuTu, do you know anything about Hua Yu?" Mu Nujiao asked curiously, leaning close to Ai TuTu's ear.

She knew Ai Jiangtu's strength; there were almost no rivals among his peers, yet Hua Yu directly chose to challenge him.

"According to my dad, if Hua Yu had been born ten years earlier, Uncle Hua would probably have to step down now," Ai Tutu said earnestly.

Mu Nujiao looked at the imposing Hua Yu in disbelief, but then she thought of the person she had met at the Beast Fighting Tournament at Mingzhu Academy.

"There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding," Mu Nujiao couldn't help but sigh.
