Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 18 Backstab from Talent

In Class 8 of the first year of high school, a girl named He Yu was the first to take the test. She was a water mage and cried before going on stage, her face streaked with tears, afraid that she would be kicked out of the magic high school.

Class teacher Xue Musheng believed it to be true.

Even all the boys in the class were comforting and encouraging them.

Who knows the test.

The whole class became clowns. According to the Star Sense Stone's brilliance, reaching Grade A means they will be directly selected for the elite class next year.

Everyone was stunned. This was pure magic-obsessed bitch!
Fang Yu glanced at her and recognized her. Two years later, during the calamity in Bo City, she single-handedly blocked the attack of the Black Beast Demon in order to rescue Zhang Xiaohou.

Thus, he was killed in action.

This also strengthened Zhang Xiaohou's determination to join the army, leading to the birth of a powerful mage who would guard the frontier in the future.

Next, Zhang Xiaohou took the stage. His astrological chart test was brilliant, achieving an A+ level, which drew admiration from everyone.

this moment.

Zhang Xiaohou looked shy, but his eyes were firm as he said, "Teacher, I want to be tested on the second item: casting magic."

The examiner asked, somewhat surprised, "Are you sure?"

“I know that if I rank high in the annual assessment, I can use the Stardust Magic Artifact for a longer time, so I need to be tested on the release skill.” Zhang Xiaohou said firmly.

In addition to the Star Stone, the annual assessment also includes the casting of a second spell. Generally speaking, the latter is prepared for a very small number of top students, and only a handful of people pass the test each year. Very few students master magic within a year.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaohou had originally mastered the basic wind magic "Wind Track," but due to excessive nervousness, he repeatedly failed to control the stars, causing the star track to break and preventing him from completing the release.

He walked off dejectedly, and Teacher Tang Yue comforted him like a gentle older sister: "It's okay, with your grades you're good enough to get into the top class."

"Teacher, I thought I had mastered it very well, but I didn't expect that even a little bit of nervousness would cause me to inexplicably collapse every time I tried to control the stars, forcing me to start all over again. How do you manage to release magic with just a wave of your hand, teacher?" Zhang Xiaohou asked.

"Practice is essential, but mental state is also very important. A qualified magician not only needs solid skills, but also a calm and composed mindset," Tang Yue said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaohou nodded as if he understood but not quite.

soon.

When it was Mu Bai's turn, Mu He's persuasion attracted the attention of school leaders and Mu Ningxue.

Next, Mu Bai achieved an S-rank score. The Star Sense Stone shone brightly around him, and he easily released the first-level ice magic "Ice Vine". A chilling aura spread, and large areas of the ground froze.

The puppet was frozen into an ice sculpture, shimmering with a crystal-clear light under the sun.

The leaders were all shrewd people; they knew that school board member Mu He was giving him special support, so they all praised and complimented him.

Mu Bai was smug and secretly glanced at Mu Ningxue to observe her reaction. What ignited his anger was that Mu Ningxue never looked at him and kept staring at Mo Fan.

"That bastard again," he thought to himself, "I'll make you look bad later." He gestured to the instructor next to him.

Next was Mo Fan's assessment, and he received a B grade. However, things took a turn when the observant Tang Yue discovered that the Star Sensing Stone had been tampered with and had people search for the hidden stone within it.

Upon retesting, Mo Fan displayed astonishing magical talent.

It proved everyone wrong.

Mu Zhuoyun, the patriarch of the Mu clan in Bocheng, originally intended to invite Mo Fan to join the Mu clan, but was met with a furious rebuke from Mo Fan.

Enraged, Mu Zhuoyun sent his adopted son, Yu Ang, who was actually a member of the Black Church under Mu He, to make a two-year agreement with Mo Fan.

At their high school graduation ceremony, a contest is held where the loser kneels down, kowtows, and publicly apologizes to the other.

Fang Yu stared at the scene, feeling a strong sense of déjà vu.

He knew very well that the reason Mo Fan was hostile to Mu Zhuoyun was because of the humiliation Mu Zhuoyun had caused him back then.

Fang Yu pondered.

"Two years from now?"

"The end of the competition also signals the start of the first part of the story."

The annual performance review will continue.

"Fang Yu," the teacher said.

Fang Yu nodded and got up to prepare for the test.

Mo Fan's tone was incredibly cheeky: "Old Fang, I'm rooting for you."

Fang Yu glared at him irritably: "It's none of your business." Fang Yu walked to the Star Sensing Stone, placed his hand on it, and then quickly entered a meditative state.

"S!"

"S!"

"S!"

The light overflowed and shimmered, and unsurprisingly, several examiners covered their eyes and gave the highest score of S. It was no wonder that the light was so intense that the students were seeing double.

The highest level in the school's tests is S, but everyone knows that Fang Yu's Stardust Magic Power is probably a few points higher than Mo Fan's and Mu Bai's.

"The result was quite unexpected!"

"I never expected there to be such outstanding students!" Mu Zhuoyun exclaimed.

The room quieted down, and Fang Yu looked at the examiner and said, "Is that enough?"

"what?"

"Fang Yu, aren't you going to continue the test?" the examiner asked.

"I won't take the exam anymore. I just want to get into the top class." Fang Yu shook his head.

Fang Yu didn't want to attract too much attention. He already had the ice hockey in his spiritual world, so the Stardust Magic Artifact was useless to him.

Moreover, with Mu He, the Black Vatican's Grand Deacon of Tiger City, present, the exposure was too great, and the danger level was directly maximized.

This left the students and examiners below exchanging bewildered glances. Mu Ningxue looked at Fang Yu with some surprise; he clearly possessed the strength to unleash his full power, yet he simply stated that he wouldn't take the test.

Fang Yu stepped off the stage, walked to Mo Fan's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "How was it?"

"Not so good, let's compete again next time." Mo Fan broke down.

He was supposed to be the star of the show, but now he's been overshadowed.

I'm not envious at all.

Is it a scam?

He was secretly annoyed; if he hadn't cultivated two magic systems, he would have been the strongest and most dazzling guy.

A few moments.

Mu Zhuoyun's gaze fell on Fang Yu. He wanted to bring such an outstanding ice-type talent into the Mu family. He walked up to Fang Yu:
"classmate!"

"You called me?" Fang Yu looked up at the tall and burly Mu Zhuoyun.

"As the representative family of ice magic, the Mu family has a good talent for ice magic, so I plan to invite you to join."

"No, thank you," Fang Yu refused.

Two years later, Bo City was struck by a demonic calamity, and the Mu Clan of Bo City suffered heavy losses. Later, due to Mu He's exposure, they became homeless dogs.

Moreover, the Mu family of Bocheng is a den of dragons and tigers. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the lair of the Black Vatican.

Joining him would be the death of him, wouldn't it?
A backstab born of talent.

Mu Zhuoyun stared at Fang Yu, somewhat puzzled.

Mo Fan did the same thing just now, and now Fang Yu is doing the same thing.

Even though the Mu family has lost its prestige, it was still a dominant force in Bocheng.

“You’re still young and don’t understand the importance of resources. When you have ideas, you can come to the Mu family to find me,” Mu Zhuoyun advised.

In Bo City, to have such talent at this age is truly remarkable.

However, without the support of resources from a family, even the most talented person will gradually realize how powerless they are without such resources.

The old "grinding" approach is no longer viable; now, it requires both spending money and grinding, significantly increasing the difficulty.

"Thank you for your kind offer, but I'd rather not," Fang Yu continued to refuse.

Seeing this, Mu Zhuoyun stopped trying to persuade him. He had already shown enough sincerity, and he wouldn't go out of his way to invite him again if he was rejected.

He is also a person of status.

After some time, the annual assessment was completed, and my first year of high school officially came to an end.
