Versatile Mage: Fan Rhapsody Chapter 1 Continuation

Osaka is actually quite far from Tokyo... This kind of long distance basically means a journey of more than 8 hours by car, and everyone fell asleep while chatting...

We stopped twice for a short rest along the way... After more than ten hours, we finally reached the Yokohama Safety Zone, which connects to Tokyo.

The Yokohama coastline is one of Japan's four major naval battlegrounds, but the largest is still Odaiba, located in Tokyo Bay…

Except at sunrise, as the bus travels along the highway, you can see the crimson sky outside the window, which looks like an endless ocean…

As monks, we usually meditate at night, but because we didn't meditate during this long bus journey, I slept exceptionally well.

As the sun rose... everyone gradually woke up, and Jiang Shaoxu was probably the most eager of all.

As a fan of Japanese games, Jiang Shaoxu's goal was naturally not the battle of Haicheng, but to go on a shopping spree!

"Our ultimate destination in Japan is Naval Battle City, where our first training exercise will take place..." However, Kalley knew Jiang Shaoxu's nature... Kalley, temporarily posing as Ai Jiangtu, spoke with the air of a tough man.

"What's the rush? Postponing it by a day won't make a big difference," Jiang Shaoxu said in a gentle, seductive tone.

"During the training process, each country will jointly contribute a batch of resources to the Magic Association to supply all the national teams training around the world. How these resources are allocated depends on the strength and contributions of each team in the training grounds..." Kalai, temporarily acting as Ai Jiangtu, recited his mentor's words.

These were all important messages that Kalai reported to the training mentor yesterday, messages that needed to be conveyed to all team members…

"Even so, there's no need to be proactive..." Jiang Shaoxu was clearly rather nonchalant.

"There are probably still quite a few people in our team who haven't reached the high-level mage stage yet. This trial is a chance to advance to the high-level. If you don't want it, feel free to go and have some fun~" Kalai continued, maintaining his iron-willed demeanor.

"Advancing to a higher rank...that's a huge resource!" Zhao Manyan's eyes lit up instantly.

"Young Master Zhao, don't even dream about it. Resources aren't given to substitutes..." Mu Tingying mocked.

"Damn it, don't they treat us like human beings?!" These words immediately made Zhao Manyan's face darken.

"The Magic Association's resources are indeed not allocated to substitutes, because substitutes are only there for training... In fact, that's why many countries don't have substitutes at all," Kalai said.

"Being able to train with the team is already the greatest blessing for someone like you who's a burden. You have no talent, no cultivation, and no high-level spiritual seed~" Guan Yu said sarcastically.

"Damn it! Don't talk like you're some high-level mage who's different from us mid-level trash!" Zhao Manyan cursed, pointing at Guan Yu.

"Ahem... ahem, there aren't actually many high-level mages in the team," Jiang Yu coughed.

"Oh, sorry... I didn't mean to make sweeping generalizations." Zhao Manyan's statement, which suddenly dragged everyone into the conversation, was still a bit awkward.

Among the regulars, everyone except the captain is still at the mid-level... while Mo Fan and Zhao Hua, who are already at the high-level, are not a concern at all. On the contrary, Zhao Manyan and Mu Ningxue, who are not yet at the high-level, are in a very bad situation. If they don't get resources and the gap widens, they are most likely to be replaced by the outstanding members of the Chinese team who defend the stadium...

However, Zhao Manyan's powerful backer injected funds to propel him to a higher rank at a crucial moment... so the only one who could ultimately be eliminated was Mu Ningxue.

"However, the spoils of war on the sea belong to the mages," Nan Jue, the vice-captain, added.

These words gave Mu Ningxue a glimmer of hope...

But Mo Fan is still worried about how to tell Ai Jiangtu that he is going to have a secret rendezvous with Wang Yueqianxun first... no, I mean, how to deal with the Ninghua Evil Pearl he got last night.

"Captain, since there are no substitutes available, I won't participate in the training. I have other plans here in Japan..." Zhao Hua suddenly stepped forward and said.

Zhao Hua's words made the other people on the bus feel like they were inferior... as if she was saying that these resources were nothing special.

"Alright~ There are no resources for substitutes, as long as you return to the team when the training ends... otherwise you'll be considered withdrawn." Kale said, still maintaining Ai Jiangtu's authoritative demeanor.

"Um... Captain, I also..." Seeing this, Mo Fan also wanted to say that he had other plans, just like Zhao Hua had done.

"Mo Fan wants to come with me..." Mochizuki Chika suddenly blurted out a surprising statement.

Everyone looked at Mochizuki Chika, then at Mo Fan, and then at Mu Ningxue… This guy Mo Fan has really managed to snag a Japanese girl and live off her in just a few days!?

It turns out that Mo Fan, who is actually a real rogue, is the gigolo and kept man that every man dreams of being!

-Tokai Castle (Odaiba)-

Located in Odaiba Ward, it was Japan's largest sea city battle zone... Due to its geographical environment being very favorable for both naval and land warfare, it eventually evolved into the Battle of Kaesong.

As the vice-captain, Nan Jue waited in the VIP room as instructed by her mentor. Kalai entered the conference room... Ai Jiangtu, Ye Zhenghong, and the two mentors from the National Academy were already present.

"Phew... what a relief..." Kalai said, removing the magical disguise skin.

"Thank you for your hard work this journey~ Now Ai Jiangtu can officially rejoin the team..." Dean Song He said.

"It's not that hard... those guys are just a bit troublesome," Kalai complained.

"There's something even more important for you to investigate..." Dean Songhe spoke with an air of cunning and shrewdness.

"Again? Wait...we...!???" Kale's eyes widened so much they looked like the senior disciple in Shaolin Soccer.

"Don't overthink it... It'll just be the two of us, you and me..." Ye Zhenghong said.

"Can I say no?" Kale clearly resisted this thankless and arduous task.

"You two are basically stuck during this training period... Oh, and after the training, the higher-ups will prepare two Star Sea Celestial Veins for you two~" Dean Songhe seemed to offer no objections whatsoever... but his next sentence immediately made Kalai's eyes light up.

"Hmm... let's go then~" Kalai's attitude changed 180 degrees the moment he heard about the Star Sea Celestial Vein.

"Wait a minute..." Before he could finish speaking, Dean Songhe casually pulled out a large stack of documents.
