Full-Time Magister: One System, One Forbidden Spell, the Strongest Divine Gift

Chapter 24 The Little Red Bird is Looking for Its Mother; She's My Daughter
"Intermediate-level mage".

Dean Xiao's gaze fell on the list, and a rare look of shock flashed across his eyes.

What surprised him was not that Chen Yuan had reached the intermediate level at such a young age; Pearl Academy was never short of geniuses.

What truly captivated him was the glaring name on the document: Bo City.

That small town had recently undergone a bloody baptism. In the ruins ravaged by demons, those who could break through to the intermediate level at such a young age were few and far between, even nationwide.

In the arena, Chen Yuan stood as still as a pine tree.

He had no intention of deliberately hiding his abilities; he came to Mingzhu Academy simply to become stronger, nothing more.

(Besides, compared to that monstrous genius, what is my talent?)

Thinking of Mo Fan's innate dual-elemental nature, possessing four magic elements at the mid-level, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Sometimes, he does envy those lucky people who have been kissed by fate.

But then he felt relieved.

Life is like a long night; who hasn't brushed shoulders with a miracle?

Just like himself, what he initially awakened was nothing more than the insignificant light system.

But who could have imagined that one day in the future, this glimmer of light would transform into a blazing sun that tears through the eternal night?

Five forbidden spells... This path may not be the strongest, but it is certainly a legendary path that belongs to him alone.

Who in the world doesn't know you!
"A mid-level mage, and a mid-level summoner at that."

The professors were shocked. To be honest, they were a little envious. What was going on with the Summoning Department this year? How did they manage to produce two such promising talents all at once?

Moreover, with such talent, there's absolutely no need for special recruitment!
"A mid-level dual-elemental cultivator, primarily focused on the light element, which means his light elemental cultivation is definitely much stronger than his summoning elemental cultivation."

The speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention.

Instantly, the head of the Light Department began to have a flurry of thoughts, while the head of the Summoning Department seemed to sense a crisis.

The two exchanged a glance, and the air instantly thickened with tension!
A true genius! A genius like this would be a top-tier talent no matter which department he goes to. Who wouldn't want their student to be a genius?
silence
Jiang Yunming, the head of the Summoning Department, immediately spoke up, a glint of fervor flashing in his eyes. He looked at Dean Xiao and said, "Dean, a student like this must be assigned to our Summoning Department!"

The head of the Department of Optical Engineering, Nan Bowan, immediately became anxious and said, "Dean, I believe that a genius like him is best suited to join the Optical Engineering family."

The Summoning Department is in that godforsaken place; it's difficult to even gather enough people for a mahjong game, let alone anything else.

"Get lost! The Summoning Department has no shortage of resources! We may be few in number, but we have plenty of resources. With so many people in your Light Academy, where do you get the extra resources to nurture such a genius?!"

For a time, the two department heads argued incessantly, each holding their own bargaining chips and trying every means to bring Chen Yuan into their department.

Such a promising talent shouldn't be missed!
If we miss this opportunity, we may have to wait many years for the next one.

"."

Chen Yuan on the field did not speak. For him, it didn't matter which department he went to, as long as there were enough resources.

Seeing that the argument had subsided, Dean Xiao spoke up, his tone very gentle as he looked at Chen Yuan.

"Since Chen Yuan is already at the intermediate level of dual-elemental cultivation, he has naturally passed the assessment. As for which element he wants to join, that's up to him to decide."

"Then let's go with the summoning system," Chen Yuan suggested.

With few summoners, cultivation is largely individual and left to individual nurture, making it the best option for Chen Yuan.

"it is good!"

Hearing Chen Yuan's choice, Jiang Yunming was overjoyed. After waiting for so many years, their Summoning Department had finally found a numerical monster!

“I have high hopes for you. I have a feeling that you will have a place of your own in the near future, given how quickly you have been able to get out of that gloom and integrate into the new environment.”

Dean Xiao praised him generously.

"Thank you, Dean," Chen Yuan said.

With that, the special admissions process was completely over, and Chen Yuan ultimately returned to the Summoning Department. After leaving the examination hall, Chen Yuan did not return directly to his residence, but instead strolled slowly along the tree-lined path.

In early autumn, Mingzhu University was quiet and empty. It was not yet the start of the school season, and the huge campus was sparsely populated. The rustling of the wind through the sycamore leaves made the footsteps sound particularly clear.

"Cuckoo!"

Suddenly, the Crimson Sky Beast on its shoulder flapped its wings and took flight, its fiery red tail feathers drawing a trail of light in the sunlight.

It circled twice, then turned back to gently peck at Chen Yuan's collar, its golden eyes flashing with urging light.

"Where are you taking me?"

Chi Xiao did not respond, but led him through the vine-covered corridor and across the backyard planted with spiritual plants.

It finally stopped in front of a mirror-like lake, but instead of landing, it suddenly flew towards the stone steps by the lake.

"Little bird?"

A voice as clear as a spring rang out.

A girl in a white dress sat on the stone steps, resting her chin on her hand and gazing at Chixiao, who had landed on her shoulder.

The morning breeze caressed her ink-black hair, the ends of which tangled with the feathers of the Crimson Sky, resembling splashes of cinnabar in a traditional Chinese ink painting.

"??"

Chen Yuan paused, his pupils contracting slightly. Chi Xiao was actually taking the initiative to get close to a stranger?
This little guy is usually very arrogant. Even when Zhou Min tried to touch it, it would swat her away with a wing.

He wouldn't stop until he had touched her and then pecked at her ponytail until it was messed up.

But at this moment, it obediently rested on the girl's shoulder and even affectionately nuzzled her cheek.

"Colored bird".

Chen Yuan's eye twitched slightly, and he muttered to himself. This little thing doesn't learn anything good, but insists on learning these improper things. He pounces on the shoulders of any pretty girl he sees, just like a lecher.

"Cuckoo!"

Upon hearing this, Chixiao immediately flapped its wings and flew back to his shoulder, nuzzling his cheek with its head in a flattering manner.

Those golden eyes were filled with innocence.

"Was that little bird yours?"

A voice as clear as a spring came from behind. The girl turned around and saw Chen Yuan poking Chi Xiao's head with a stern face.

"Goo."

Chixiao shrank its neck, flapped its wings twice with a pitiful look, and its golden eyes were full of sympathy.

Ironically, it was quite intelligent and didn't dare to throw a tantrum when scolded. It only dared to gently tug at Chen Yuan's clothes with its beak, just like a child who had done something wrong.

The girl couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

This scene is truly amusing.

The boy was earnestly training the bird, and the little red bird looked dejected and admitted its mistake.

If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a young father disciplining his daughter.

"I'm so sorry, it's not usually like this." Chen Yuan sighed and rubbed his forehead. "For some reason, it's unusually lively today?"

The girl lightly covered her cherry lips with her slender fingers, her eyes curving into crescents: "It's alright, your companion is quite intelligent and seems to be extraordinary."

Her gaze lingered for a moment on the fiery red tail feathers, a thoughtful glint in her eyes.

"Hmm." Chen Yuan stroked Chi Xiao's feathers with his fingertips, and the little guy immediately rubbed against his fingers affectionately. "She is my daughter, and also my contracted partner."
