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

Chapter 185 The National Government Training Begins

While Jiang Shaoxu and the other two were arguing with Zhao Manyan...

Mo Fan arrived, looking irritated.

He hadn't even spent a few days in Hangzhou with Ye Xinxia when he received several phone calls from several bosses from the ancient capital, who were yelling at him for not reporting to the capital city government office!
So he had no choice but to come.

When Mo Fan arrived at the meeting point, he was met by five older mentors with dark faces.

One of the instructors, a short, stout man with a large belly, glared at Mo Fan, who was carrying a crossbody bag, and said in a very unfriendly tone, "You're the substitute Mo Fan!"

"I am Mo Fan, but why am I a substitute?" Mo Fan was stunned for a moment, looking at Dean Song He with some confusion.

Dean Songhe was aware of Mo Fan's situation, so he smiled and offered an explanation.

Unexpectedly, Feng Li spoke up, coldly saying, "You, who got in through connections, are already quite fortunate to have a substitute position."

“Mo Fan, you didn’t participate in the final selection ceremony. Even though you had a nomination and votes, you’re not considered a formal member until the final selection,” Dean Songhe explained to Mo Fan.

"Fine, I'll be a substitute then." Mo Fan shrugged indifferently and walked casually toward his teammates.

Anyway, he came here only to share a small goal with Zhao Manyan; the training was just a side benefit.

"Just a heads-up, during the National Government training period, there will be resource allocation, but there won't be any substitutes, you idiot!" Fang Yu said to Mo Fan as he approached.

"Resources, how many resources?" Mo Fan asked.

“Imagine a resource that would be useful to high-level players,” Fang Yu replied.

"Fuck."

"Suitable for high-level users, this is a huge resource!!"

"Wouldn't I be at a huge loss then!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan was indignant and could not accept it.

“The National Government has assessments at each stage. As long as you are strong enough, it won’t be difficult to compete for a formal team member,” Fang Yu said.

"This is acceptable."

Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief. With his advanced cultivation level, he was quite confident.

"How's the recovery going?" Fang Yu asked.

"I've recovered," Mo Fan said.

The ancient capital was struck by disaster, transforming into a demon.

Although the transformation is powerful, the price is heavy.

Each time it is used, it will reduce his cultivation level in each of his magic systems by one level.

Fortunately, after six months of seclusion on Mount Hua, he recovered completely.

Moreover, possessing a demonic attribute gives them a powerful trump card. Even when facing mortal danger, they can save themselves.

Before the two could exchange more than a few words...

Five mentors have left.

"Everyone's here." Instructor Feng Li walked over slowly, his gaze sweeping over the fourteen people.

The team consists of fourteen people: eleven official members and three substitute members, namely Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Mu Ningxue.

"Actually, we could have set off earlier. There's no need to wait for a substitute." Guan Yu said this seemingly casually, but it was actually aimed directly at Mo Fan. Mo Fan smiled and didn't refute it. They still had a long time to train together, supposedly more than a year. Wouldn't that be enough time for him to torment this little brat named Guan Yu?

"When I'm speaking, no one should make a sound!" Feng Li said bluntly.

The fish immediately shut its mouth.

"Your ultimate goal is to participate in the Nitos National Palace Competition, also known as the World University Tournament. This national training is not only to help you gain more practical experience and magical knowledge, but also to help you obtain a ticket to the Nitos National Palace Competition. Nearly two hundred countries around the world are participating in this competition, and not every country is qualified to appear on the Nitos stage..." Feng Li said firmly.

All five mentors gave them instructions, which each person carefully wrote down.

There was no grand send-off ceremony, and it was unknown when the teams competing in this highly anticipated national competition would actually embark on their training journey. The identities of the participants were also kept completely secret. This was the case in any country. Only when the Nitos Grand Prix ceremony opened would these contestants truly be revealed to the world!

……

The sky is blue, the water flows gently...

Along the continuous coastal reefs, you can see white waves splashing up joyfully, not the kind of surging, crashing waves, but the kind of gentle, teasing waves that playfully tease the rocks.

Beside the rugged reefs is a small beach with a few simple, old-fashioned wooden fishing boats floating on it.

"What the hell are these mentors?"

Mo Fan transformed into a resentful woman, venting her frustrations on the sky and the sea!

What happened to the promise of all-inclusive meals, accommodation, and entertainment? What happened to the international travel, gourmet food, and dating?

None of them.

I have to rely entirely on myself!!
This is completely different from what I imagined.

"Mediocre people only know how to complain." The girl with the beauty mark smiled, looking detached from worldly affairs.

“Okay, Jiang Shaoxu, you tell me how to get to the cherry blossoms!” Mo Fan said.

"Stupid."

“Take a boat. Where there’s a fishing village, there’ll be a larger port. And where there’s a larger port, there will be boats going to Sakura. If I remember correctly, this should be a place where our domestic seagoing vessels and Sakura ships often exchange ships…” Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile.

This woman loves to laugh, and every gesture she makes exudes an alluring and seductive charm that welcomes all.

“Jiang Shaoxu is right. There should be a major port in this area. In any case, we need to buy a map first to see exactly where we are,” Nan Jue said.

"My God, we don't even have a map?" Mo Fan was on the verge of collapse.

"There's nothing we can do. We were all tricked by the five instructors. They told us to unload all our belongings, and we weren't even allowed to bring our communicators. They said they were sending us to special training, but after we boarded the plane, they took us straight to this godforsaken place. There was no food, no change of clothes, no communicators, and not even our identification!" Zhao Manyan said with a bitter smile.

Their identities have been frozen. Nowadays, most modes of transportation in the country require identification, so they are essentially undocumented. They have to avoid security personnel in everything they do. If they are caught, the government will have to come and pick them up, and if they do, their training will be considered a failure.

The consequences of failing the training are severe, because the National Government team is not just their own team, but also has other alternative teams. If their team fails the training, someone from the alternative teams will take their place.

“Speaking of which, even if we find a boat to Sakura, wouldn’t we still be considered smugglers?” Guan Yu said.

“Yes, so we’d better not get caught. If we do, we’ll have to reveal our identities. If we do, our training will fail, and someone will be replaced… Usually, replacements start with the substitutes.” Jiang Shaoxu, with her beauty mark, smiled at Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, and of course, she didn’t forget to glance at Mu Ningxue.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go to the fishing village and ask around," Ai Jiangtu said.

Ai Jiangtu is the captain appointed by the five mentors, and everyone has to follow his orders!

Once Ai Jiangtu spoke, everyone stopped chattering and headed towards the backward little fishing village.
