Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

Training is extremely important for every school mage. Even if the school doesn't mandate training, some mages who truly want to stand out will choose their own path of training.

If you want to become a true strongman, how can you not be battle-hardened?

On the day of their departure for the training, Dean Songhe gathered the exchange students from Imperial Capital Academy and Pearl Academy together for a formal training meeting.

As for why it wasn't held earlier... of course, it was to let the students experience an unprepared training session, without knowing the destination or the training objectives, with everything left to them to decide on the spot.

Dean Songhe stood on the podium, looking at the nineteen outstanding students below, and began to speak with a smile.

"Your destination for this training exercise is Jinlin City, located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain!"

"Jinlin City?"

Jingjing, a top student with a keen eye for geography, blinked her beautiful eyes and couldn't help but ask a question.

"How come I've never heard of such a city before?"

She was a genius with an amazing memory; she remembered all the cities in the country very clearly. However, she had never heard of Jinlin City, which Dean Songhe was talking about.

"Actually, Jinlin City is a bit special."

Standing beside Dean Songhe, Qiu Yuhua looked around at everyone and slowly explained.

"Because... it was erased from the map fifteen years ago."

"Erase it from the map?!"

Everyone looked stunned. This was too shocking for them. They had never heard of a city being completely wiped out!
Moreover, what does it mean to flatten a city?
"Fifteen years ago, a demonic disaster struck the Dongting Lake Plain. The excessively rampant demons attacked Jinlin City, which was located in a relatively remote area. Fortunately, a monk noticed the danger while practicing in the wild and asked the government to evacuate the people of Jinlin City in advance."

"And on the very second day of the evacuation, the entire city of Jinlin was completely transformed into a den of demons, unrecognizable, and those who could not be evacuated were buried there forever."

Dean Songhe was filled with emotion when he talked about this past event.

In fact, he was the one who sensed the hidden danger, but he himself didn't want to talk about it much, as it was ultimately a human tragedy.

When Dean Songhe mentioned this matter, some students who were slightly familiar with history immediately realized what it meant.

Some books that are not entirely public do indeed record the demonic calamity that occurred fifteen years ago in the Dongting Lake Plain, but few of his generation know about the city that disappeared fifteen years ago.

"So, we are going to that deserted city to practice?"

Song Xia raised her hand and asked in confusion.

"I need you to collect data on this desolate city."

Dean Songhe took a sip of tea to moisten his throat before continuing.

"Although the entire demon race has migrated, many different kinds of creatures still roam Jinlin City. What you need to do is to scout out as many places in the city as possible, and record how many servant-level demons and how many warrior-level creatures you encounter."

"Is it just statistical data?"

Shen Mingxiao frowned and couldn't help but speak.

Statistics don't seem difficult, right? They're simple, aren't they?

"We need to publish a paper on whether or not to rebuild Jinlin City, with our Imperial Capital University and Pearl University as co-authors. The data you collected is very important. Whether Jinlin City has a reason to rebuild it is a crucial step we need to take now, which is to conduct a risk assessment on this city that has been abandoned for fifteen years."

Mo Xie raised an eyebrow, feeling that the task was quite difficult, since he had done data collection before.

A city is so big that to collect accurate data, you need to visit a lot of locations.

The more locations you scout, the more demons you'll encounter, and you might even easily get caught up in a horde of them...

This trip to the desolate city is no less dangerous than the Red Alert disaster in Bo City. It's not as simple as hiding in a safe barrier and being safe. You might accidentally step into a deep pit of demons and be left with nothing but bones!

Moreover, in his memory, Jinlin City was located near the Dongting Lake Plain.

The Dongting Lake Plain, located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, is situated in northern Hunan Province. Dongting Lake is no ordinary scenic spot; this vast lake, covering nearly 40,000 square kilometers, is often mentioned in magical books as the third most ominous lake in China.

This terrifying giant lake is surrounded by various different ecosystems, and countless demons inhabit it!

Among them, the infamous Lizard-Skull Giant Demon tribe, which has seized Jinlin City as its lair, uses Dongting Lake as its base and even acts arrogantly.

"Dean, you asked us to count the number of servant-level and warrior-level demons. Shouldn't we include the commander-level demons in that count?"

At that moment, Luo Song asked a question in a very naive and innocent way.

"Hehehe, if you encounter a commander-level demon and manage to come back alive, that would be quite an achievement."

Dean Songhe raised an eyebrow, chuckled, and said casually.

To be honest, although he said that, he was still very worried about the students. Trials are something all magicians go through, and separation and death are inevitable.

Life and death... it all depends on each person's fate.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

Previously, Jinlin City was basically a den of demons, and there must have been a leader-level creature in the den. If there were one or two stubborn creatures that hadn't moved away, wouldn't their reconnaissance mission be extremely dangerous?

They were all weak mid-level mages; encountering a commander-level demon would mean certain death!
"Individual strength is certainly limited. I hope that both students from Pearl Academy and Imperial Capital Academy can help each other and return safely and smoothly during this data collection in the desolate city!"

After the meeting concluded, everyone prepared to depart for Jinlin City, but Mo Xie was stopped by Dean Song He just before leaving.

“Mo Xie, classmate.”

"Dean Song, is there anything I can help you with?"

Mo Xie stopped and turned to look at Dean Song He, asking respectfully.

He was also very curious about what Dean Songhe wanted to talk to him about.

Dean Songhe gazed at Mo Xie, stroked his white beard, and said with a smile.

"I'm here to ask you for a favor."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xie was slightly taken aback, then seemed to understand something and said with a smile.

"Dean Song, you wouldn't happen to be... asking me to take care of the students at Imperial Capital University, would you?"

"Hehe, that's right, that's what I think."

Dean Songhe nodded, his aged yet profound eyes fixed on Mo Xie, and slowly spoke.

"I can't gauge your strength, but I know you're the strongest in this team, and you might even have advanced to a higher level..."

He exhaled, glanced around at the training teams, and gave Mo Fan a second look before continuing.

"This trip to Jinlin City is fraught with danger, so I hope you will take good care of them."

Mo Xie pondered for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

"Okay, but if it's someone I have to give way to, I'll protect myself first."

"It's natural."

Watching the training team leave, Qiu Yuhua walked to Song He's side and asked in a low voice.

"Is this training session alright?"

"Yes, everything will be alright." (End of Chapter)
