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

Chapter 33 Fighting for a spot
It was before noon that day.

Fang Yu and Principal Zhu arrived at the Bocheng Yinmao Building.

The Yinmao Building is a straight, towering pentagon. Rather than calling it a magnificent building, it is more like a tall pentagonal pagoda standing in the very center of this city.

The Yinmao Building is 200 meters tall, and its entire shell is completely encased in glass, gleaming like a sword being drawn from its sheath under the blazing sun.

Even at night, the entire building is dazzling with lights, and its neon lights can still be seen from a distance in the city.

The sacred spring, a treasure trove of natural resources in Bocheng, is located underground in this Yinmao Building.

This wasn't Fang Yu's first time visiting the Bocheng Center Yinmao Building, but he still found it very impressive and magnificent.

……

The 30th floor of Yinmao Building.

Fang Yu and Principal Zhu didn't seem to arrive early, after all, Fang Yu's residence was quite far away...

Therefore, before they arrived, representatives from several magical families had already arrived here.

It can be said that this place is currently a gathering place for both the big shots of Bo City and the elite novice mages.

However, Fang Yu felt...

恩…

Elite?

Today we're going to take down the elite!

What's going on here? A prodigy is making his debut, performing a fish-blasting act in the newbie village of Bo City!
Upon their arrival, Fang Yu and his group were warmly received by the magic family.

A middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion and short stature, a round face, greeted the Mu family members with a smile.

"Old Zhu, you've finally arrived."

After saying that, he looked at Fang Yu next to Principal Zhu and said, "This must be the genius who graduated early from Tianlan Magic High School."

"He is indeed a handsome man."

"hehe…

His name is Fang Yu.

Principal Zhu smiled and said, "Of course."

However, while the Mu family's higher-ups can laugh now, he hopes the other party will cry later!

Although on the surface, this time it's about everyone competing for the Sacred Spring resource.

But in essence, it was nothing less than a covert contest between two sides.

Principal Zhu represents the magic school and the grassroots magician class.

The Mu family goes without saying; they are the leading family in the magic lineage.

however…

The grassroots magician ultimately suffered from a lack of resources.

For many years, students from the magic school have not entered the Holy Spring.

Shengquan is a shared resource of Bocheng.

How could it be contracted out to a magical family?

Principal Zhu naturally hoped that Fang Yu could perform better and make some changes in this competition for a place in Di Sheng Quan.

He didn't want the sacred spring to be monopolized by the children of magical families every year...

at the same time.

Fang Yu nodded in acknowledgment and smiled.

Based on nothing else, just the fact that this member of the Mu family has good judgment and can see that he is a handsome and talented person.

So he made a decision.

In retaliation.

We must defeat the opposing representative in our strongest form later.

"Let's go to the main hall. A banquet has been prepared there. Everyone should eat and rest well before discussing the matter of the Sacred Spring," said a senior member of the Mu family.

……

Inside the banquet hall, high-ranking members of several other families and representatives of novice mages were also present.

When the other family executives saw Principal Zhu arrive, they immediately greeted him warmly as "Old Zhu."

The other magicians present, all under twenty years old, paid no attention to Principal Zhu, the headmaster of the magic school, but instead focused their attention on the handsome Fang Yu.

"The representative of the magic school, who reportedly applied to graduate a year early and instantly defeated the top student in the senior year."

"What incredible talent!"

"A school that mass-produces students, unexpectedly produced a genius this year."

"This is a good opportunity to test the mettle of a grassroots magical genius."

At this moment, if the representatives of the other eight families' novice mages were to ask who they most wanted to fight, it would undoubtedly be Fang Yu.

Fang Yu was indeed a rare "genius" at the magic school. However…

Compared to the children of magical families, he lacked the support of resources.

Is talent king, or is spending money the ultimate weapon?

Let's settle this today.

"I have a feeling that their gazes are a bit unfriendly..." Fang Yu was also observing the others, eight teenagers around twenty years old, six boys and two girls.

Ok…

They don't seem weak at all?

Hopefully, my strength can appease him a little.

That way, his years of intense training won't have been in vain.

"Fang Yu, let me introduce you."

Next, Principal Zhu began to introduce the other senior executives to Fang Yu.

At the same time, each family's high-ranking members also took the opportunity to introduce their own novice mage.

However, this kind of basic introduction is basically just names, and no one can get any valuable information from each other.

So soon, everyone's attention turned to the buffet.

I don't know if others are hungry, but Fang Yu, who had been on the bus the whole way and hadn't eaten much in the morning, was hungry.

Therefore, everyone soon began to eat.

Fang Yu discovered that the people of Kyushu also share a characteristic of Chinese people: they are not quiet during meals and like to discuss this and that.

The young people in the magic family were alright; because there were so many powerful figures around, they all seemed shy, low-key, and silent.

However, the high-ranking officials of the various factions in the nine cities of Bo were eating while passionately discussing the order in which they would enter the Holy Spring.

"To be fair, let the nine of them take turns fighting, and then decide the spots for entering the Sacred Spring based on their scores?"

"Our Mu family provides recovery items and healing mages to ensure they are at their peak in every battle."

Mu Pang, a senior member of the Mu family, offered his advice.

"Isn't this a bit too slow?"

A lean old man shook his head and said, "Nine people taking turns fighting, how long will it take?"

This person is clearly an impatient individual.

However, his words did garner the agreement of others.

Although, several family leaders also wanted to know the strength of their family's representative novice mage.

However, they were all intermediate-level mages, and they didn't really have a strong desire to watch matches between beginner-level mages.

They value the result more than the process.

As long as there's a result, the process doesn't matter.

"How about this, a ring competition format, whoever wants to be the first to enter can defend the title."

"Those who disagree can challenge the champion."

"It can ensure that everyone has a chance, while reducing some unnecessary battles."

The lean old man suggested, his meaning quite clear: whoever is confident in their abilities should defend the title. After a couple of matches and demonstrating their strength, those with self-awareness should be able to see the difference in skill.

Instead of engaging in meaningless and time-wasting battles, it would be better to simply give up on challenging the arena, thus avoiding many battles.

After speaking, he glanced at his own representative, a short-haired young man in a white combat uniform, clearly confident in the strength of his own novice mage representative.

"This is acceptable."

The lean old man's suggestion immediately received support from other senior executives.

A ring competition would be great.

"So, who will defend the title first?" Mu Pang asked.

Even after he finished speaking, the novice mages remained very shy.

After all, even if you are confident in your abilities, the pressure of being the first to step forward and defend your title is just too great.

"Let me do it."

While everyone was still undecided, Fang Yu silently put down his chopsticks after finishing a piece of steak at the dinner table.

"I'll go first and defend my title," Fang Yu said, looking up.

His initiative instantly drew everyone's attention.

"Uh."

That kid's fierce.

Principal Zhu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly smiled and expressed his support.
