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

Chapter 45 Demon Tide

In fact, this has been proven.

Not only are idiocy and laughter contagious, but so is hard work.

While resting, Zhou You and the others felt uneasy watching Fang Yu prepare to take action.

"Now I finally understand why you are so powerful..."

“We have no shortage of resources, talent, or hard work, so it’s normal to get crushed…” Zhou You said, his face twitching.

"It's not that exaggerated..." Fang Yu said.

Did I unknowingly raise these three people's opinion of me?

It's a misunderstanding, nothing more than a misunderstanding.

Earning my own money was purely out of desperation.

He didn't want to work so hard, but the shortage of ice-type spirit seeds was so huge, what could he do?

If there were free resources, he would have gone home to enjoy his retirement long ago.

"How can it not be exaggerated?"

"But it's good to exaggerate a bit, that's how you have a future. Enough said, go back and sell everything you own to upgrade your mortal-level Stardust Magic Artifact to a spirit-level one, and then stay up all night to cultivate."

"I don't believe it. We all have two arms and two legs... I can do it too," Zhou You said through gritted teeth.

He shamelessly followed Fang Yu to do missions, just wanting to see how much Fang Yu had grown, why he was so strong, and find out the reasons behind it.

Now that he's finally found it, he's naturally going to give it a try.

An Ying and Mu Nujiao looked at each other, and although they didn't say anything, they also felt that they had indeed relaxed a little.

There's still plenty of time to work hard...

Tomorrow for sure.

Fang Yu: "..."

Are you really going to push yourself this hard? Then I wish you success.

Anyway, being hardworking and diligent isn't a bad thing...

Fang Yu felt gratified that his excellent qualities could influence others.

"By the way, Fang Yu, where are you planning to apply for university next year? Beijing, Shanghai, or..." Zhou You asked.

"Shanghai," Fang Yu said.

His answer immediately piqued the interest of Zhou You and his two companions.

Zhou You said, "Next year? Then we'll be alumni, and maybe we can even work together on a mission."

"The national magic trial this year is coming soon."

The national magic trial assessment is held at the end of August, once a year.

It's already February, and there are less than six months until the next assessment.

"I don't plan to participate in the National Magic Trials," Fang Yu said seriously.

Zhou You, An Ying, Mu Nujiao: ???
A few moments.

Zhou You realized something:
"Do you want to apply for that special admission?"

"The one that gets special admissions?" The other two girls had also heard of it.

“Yes, the national magic trials are too troublesome. I want to take a shortcut,” Fang Yu said with a smile.

For some genius magicians and students with high magic levels, the Magic City Academy has a special standard.

If I remember correctly.

Pearl Academy has three departments that offer special bonuses in admissions: the "Curse" department in black magic, the "Space" department in dimensional magic, and the "Summoning" department.

If you possess one of the magic systems and reach the third level, you can be admitted exceptionally!
Now that I possess two special magic types, spatial magic and summoning magic, isn't special recruitment a piece of cake?

Zhou You finally understood. For Fang Yu, who had mastered spatial magic, being specially recruited was indeed not difficult!
As he thought about it, he began to regret asking so many questions; he was completely disoriented...

Why is it so easy for others to get into university, while he struggled with tremendous effort?

After the conversation, Fang Yu continued catching earth rats. For the sake of his future financial prospects, he had no choice but to make do with the earth rats.

As for Zhou You and his two companions, they had to rest for the time being due to severe depletion of their magical energy.

however.

Before Fang Yu could even set off, the village committee's loudspeaker in Xuefeng Village suddenly blared out.

The broadcast was so loud that Fang Yu and the others, who were far from the center of the village, could hear it clearly.

Upon hearing the broadcast, Fang Yu and the others' expressions changed.

"Attention all villagers, attention all villagers: A demon tide warning signal has been issued in the county. A demon tide warning signal has been issued in the county."

“A considerable number of demons have already gathered outside the city walls and are showing signs of increasing in size.”

"All departments and individuals are requested to make corresponding preparations in accordance with the defense guidelines..."

"Fuck!"

Surrounded by the sounds, Zhou You couldn't help but vent his emotions, and An Ying and Mu Nujiao also showed obvious signs of confusion and tension on their faces.

A demon tide?
The term "demon tide" is familiar to several people.

Ten years ago, the Icefield Prefecture was rebuilt because it had encountered a wave of demons.

Although everyone was still young at the time, they had done their research beforehand, so it was impossible for them not to know about such an important matter.

Is another wave of demons coming?

"Oh no."

Just as the four were bewildered, a farmer patrolling the farmland came running over to them.

"Children, today's situation is special, why don't you go home first?"

"Uncle, what was that broadcast just now?" Fang Yu asked.

"I don't know either, but it must be the demons on Jade Spirit Snow Mountain causing trouble again."

"Warning, that sounds pretty serious. If the situation escalates, we might have to evacuate from here."

The middle-aged man was also confused, but judging from his expression, he didn't seem too flustered.

At this moment, Fang Yu also realized that it was indeed not time to panic.

Unlike ten years ago, high walls have now been built between Bingyuan County and its dozen or so townships and Yuling Snow Mountain.

The military's magic legions are stationed inside and outside the city walls; they are the first line of defense against the demon tide.

The so-called warning is just to remind residents in the surrounding towns and villages; it does not mean that there is any real danger.

If there were truly a danger of the city falling, it wouldn't be as simple as a disaster warning.

"How about we go take a look?" Zhou You suggested.

Bingyuan County is located on the southern edge of the country, and its subordinate towns are adjacent to the Jade Spirit Snow Mountain, which is teeming with demons.

This is why, ten years ago, only Bingyuan County and two surrounding counties were the first to be hit by the demon tide.

"What are you looking at? At a time like this, there must be police tape inside and outside the city walls. If you go there, you'll just cause trouble," An Ying said.

"Let's go back first," Fang Yu said.

Although I don't think anything bad will happen, the atmosphere is tense right now, so it's best not to leisurely play whack-a-mole here and cause trouble for others.

The whack-a-mole game can happen anytime, but it's more important to get back to the Hunter's Alliance and find out exactly what's going on with this demon tide warning.

The other three nodded. They weren't particularly interested in playing whack-a-mole anymore. After packing up, they quickly returned to Bingyuan County.

Icefield County, Hunter's Alliance.

After finishing the whack-a-mole mission, the group explained the warning from Xuefeng Village to the staff at the front desk of the mission hall and asked what was going on.

"Well..." The receptionist shook her head and said, "I'm not quite sure either."

"But it seems this isn't the first time this month. The last time was an orange alert, but this time it's not as serious?"
