Phoenix Warrior of Full-Time Magister

"What! The illusion space is unusable!"

It has been a week since the start of the semester exams. Because of her second-place ranking, Yunhua was assigned a magical artifact that can accelerate her cultivation. When used in conjunction with meditation, it can greatly increase her cultivation speed. It is truly a good thing, but unfortunately, she can only use it for a month.

Because he focused all his energy on poison cultivation, Yunhua's poison skill will soon reach the intermediate level two. Yunhua plans to take advantage of the opportunity to break through to level two before starting to cultivate the space skill.

It's not that Yunhua particularly likes poison, but according to the plot, the Black Vatican's attack is coming soon.

At that time, the battlefield will be dominated by the high-level shadow magic, Nightshade, where all magic except black magic will be suppressed. Therefore, we should prioritize developing the poison magic, which belongs to black magic.

As for the beast fighting tournament plot in the middle, Yunhua was originally not interested, but this morning he suddenly received a call from Dr. Mei.

During the phone call, Dr. Mei first said that she had found a demon that was very suitable for Yunhua, but then she made a request: Yunhua must participate in this beast fighting competition and defeat more than half of the students by himself, otherwise he could forget about the gift.

Yunhua immediately protested, pointing out that he was a mid-level mage, while the summoned beasts of the Summoning Academy students were only servant-level. Wasn't this bullying?

Dr. Mei stated that Yunhua can use only basic-level magic, but only poison-based magic.

Although Dr. Mei has been a teacher at Pearl Academy for many years, her relationship with the other teachers has never been very good. Therefore, Dr. Mei plans to show them how extraordinary her apprentice is at this beast fighting competition!

Then he hung up the phone, not giving Yunhua a chance to interrupt. Yunhua sighed. Using only basic magic sounded restrictive, but in reality, it only prohibited the use of fire magic.

In addition to granting Yunhua fire-type abilities, the intermediate-level poison skill also significantly improved his physical condition.

Even without using intermediate-level magic, the physical enhancement it provides is a passive skill that cannot be turned off.

Or... how about we give them one hand each?

Regardless, in order not to disappoint Dr. Mei, and also for her gift, Yunhua planned to practice her fighting skills a little more when she entered the illusion space that night.

As soon as they entered, they heard this bad news from Chi Yuan.

Chi Yuan comforted her, "It's not immediately, there are still six months to go. If you don't come every day, you can hold on for a little longer."

"It's not that it's completely unusable, but it will be the same as before, requiring you to consume your mental energy to maintain it, so you'll need to rest for a few days before you can use it again."

Yunhua didn't understand. "Why would this happen? Didn't you say it could be replaced by a person's soul?"

Chi Yuan looked at Yun Hua as if he were a fool. "But I didn't say it could replace him forever! That's the soul of a mid-level mage. How long do you think it can last? If you hadn't spent most of your time here reading, that soul would have given up long ago."

"I warned you a long time ago, but you haven't managed to retrieve a single soul during this time. Whose fault is it that you've ended up like this!"

Yunhua was also helpless. When he accepted the commission this year, he had been paying attention to whether there were any cases of hunting down mages, but such people were basically handled by the Inquisition Council, and it was not his turn.

As for the wanted posters on the street, those wanted criminals are like rats, impossible to find, and Yunhua has no way to deal with them.

We can't exactly make him an assassin! Not only would the policy not allow it, but my own conscience wouldn't allow it either.

We can only take it one step at a time.

At this moment, Yunhua missed the Black Vatican terribly, especially their filthy souls; thankfully, they were still there.

This is the worst of times because there are too many evil people here!

This is the best of times, because there are enough bad people here!

……

On this day, the most discussed topic across the school was naturally the Beast Fighting Tournament that started in the afternoon, which has been the most exciting event at Mingzhu Academy's Qing Campus for many years.

There are colorful ribbons with summoned beasts printed on them hanging all over the campus, and I heard that there are also big posters of several students who performed very well in previous Beast Fighting Tournaments at the entrance of the student community. They look incredibly cool!

The arena was built to be very grand, and it even had a dueling area that was several sizes larger than the place where the Fire Academy had previously conducted freshman assessments.

This place used to be a venue for grand competitions, but today the dueling arena has been transformed into a huge cage with a barrier, known as the "Beast Fighting Cage".

The fighting cage has tiered seating on all four sides, with rows and rows of seats, enough to easily accommodate 10,000 people. Only a wealthy institution like Mingzhu Academy could afford to build such a super arena.

Students have been entering the building one after another, queuing up since after lunch, and the crowds have already created a grand atmosphere.

"Wow, there are so many people here! We didn't have this many people at our last competition," Yunhua said, looking at the bustling crowd around her.

Klein replied, "Last time it was only the fire element, but this time students from more than a dozen departments across the entire academy have come. Of course, you can't compare to the last time."

It's clear that Klein has had far fewer experiments to do lately, giving him plenty of time to rest. He's attended every event Yunhua participates in.

"Can't this competition be held in the morning? What if it's delayed until the evening?"

"This situation is unlikely to occur normally. Most of the participants are novice mages with monotonous attacks and limited abilities. It won't last long."

"Besides, aren't you going to play this time? Then it won't be long at all."

Yunhua's gaze swept across the seats in the Thunder Academy, trying to find a familiar face.

Klein: "What are you doing?"

"I'm looking for a high school classmate. We haven't seen each other in a long time. I heard he's still at Leiyuan University, but I can't find him."

"Don't worry, he'll definitely see you once you go down."

……

"Before I begin my speech, I would like to confirm one thing with you." As the ceremony began, the first person to speak in this venue with tens of thousands of people was naturally Dean Xiao.

The content was, of course, the usual generous and eloquent speech, but the effect was quite obvious, successfully arousing the enthusiasm of the students present.

"Today is your day to showcase your abilities! Let's start with our seven main characters, the freshmen of the Summoning Department!"

Dean Xiao didn't say much, nor did he let the other leaders speak one by one. He decisively got to today's topic.

Amidst cheers from the crowd, the seven summoning students stepped onto the high platform.

"Many people might be dissatisfied; why should they become the focus of attention as soon as they enroll in the Summoning Department?"

"It doesn't matter. If you defeat them, you will be the real protagonists today!" Dean Xiao said loudly.
