Full-Time Magister: The Strongest Summoned Beast is Actually Myself

Chapter 78, Exchange Student
late at night.

At Hongsheng Forging Workshop, Chen Hongsheng was already fast asleep.

Only Chen Hao's room was still lit. Chen Hao sat on the edge of the bed, leaning against the pillows, his phone in his hand.

The room was eerily quiet, with only the occasional sound of wind rustling through the leaves outside the window.

He opened QQ and found the class group that hadn't been active for a long time—

[Tianlan Magic High School Elite Class Group]

He selected nine photos from his phone's album and uploaded them directly.

[All-natural muscles]: Image: Amazing moment.JPG×9
[All-natural muscle]: Brothers, look who I caught!

In the picture—

That was the blood-stained battlefield of the beast-taming iron cage.

The charred corpses of the beasts piled up like mountains, and the cursed beasts collapsed and knelt on the ground, their blood staining every inch of the scene.

Chen Hao's mask was half-lifted, and he stood with his foot on Yu Ang's head, his expression cold and stern; Mo Fan next to him was raising his fist and roaring at Yu Ang, as if he had been injected with stimulants.

After a brief silence, the group chat erupted into chaos.

[Wang Xu]: Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!!
[Mu Bai]: That's...Yu Ang?! This beast who smeared my Mu family has finally been caught!!!
[Wang Sanpang]: Damn it, you dog, this beast has finally met his end!
[Zhang Xiaohou]: Hao-ge is awesome! Fan-ge is awesome!
[Xu Zhaoting]: Well done! Was there a public execution? I want to go to the scene.

[Squad Leader Zhou Min]: Well done, you finally avenged our Bo City!

[Teacher Tang Yue]: You are the pride of the class, but be careful and watch out for Hei Jue Ting's revenge.

[Zhang Jing]: My mother's spirit can rest in peace now.

[Zhao Kunsan]: Brother Hao, are you... are you going to get revenge?

[Li Lan]: Countless brothers and sisters in our class died at the hands of these beasts... They... have finally met their end!
The atmosphere quickly shifted from surprise to heaviness. Each message was like a long-suppressed wound being reopened, and memories were awakened from the bloodstains in the photos.

Some people remained silent for a long time.

Someone shed tears, and the screen became blurred with tears.

Others clenched their fists, their eyes blazing with renewed fire.

That was a hatred etched into the bones of the people of Bocheng—a blood feud that had never faded with time, even after two years, even after the city and the battlefield had changed.

【Chen Hao (All-natural Muscle)】:
"I know you haven't forgotten."

"me too."

“Yu Ang is just the beginning.”

"The blood they owe us, one day we will take it all back without missing a single drop."

A moment later, he sent another message.

【Chen Hao (All-natural Muscle)】:
"Finally, there's one more piece of good news."

"Judge Nighthawk promised me one thing—Yu Ang, after the interrogation is over, will be escorted back to Bo City by the Tribunal on the anniversary of the Bloody Alert a month later, and executed in public."

"The location is the former municipal square, the place where we lost our territory."

"Please remember to watch it when you have time. If you can't make it, that's okay too. I'll post the live stream link in the group."

At that moment, the entire group fell into an unprecedented silence. No one spoke, yet it was as if ten thousand people were shouting in unison.

After a long while, someone slowly typed out a line of text:

[Zhou Min]: ...I will go then.

[Xu Zhaoting]: No matter how busy I am, I will take leave to go back. I must see him die with my own eyes. [He Yu]: I didn't want to cry, but I still cried... Brother Hao, thank you.

[Class Teacher Xue Musheng]: Chen Hao and Mo Fan, you have done something we have all dreamed of countless times. The top class is proud of you.

One response after another flooded in, filled with undisguised emotions, and with pent-up obsessions and resentment that were finally ignited that night.

Black Jue Ting destroyed their homes, but he also created a group of teenagers who emerged from the fire.

……

after a while.

Mingzhu Academy - Dean Xiao's Office
Sunlight streamed through the blinds, illuminating the old magic diagram on the wall, adding distinct layers of light and shadow to the array patterns.

Chen Hao was sitting in front of the central control panel, his fingers tracing patterns on a semi-floating experimental array disk. The array patterns gradually took shape under his guidance, but the key energy nodes could not be matched, like a water pipe that was holding its breath—it wouldn't burst, but it wouldn't go through either.

"You're too eager to make it work in one go."

Dean Xiao sat at his desk, sipping his light tea, and glanced at him: "You're using mental power, not brute force. Do you think the array plate can withstand that?"

"You have to make it willing to complete a full loop, rather than forcing it to close the loop."

"...Understood." Chen Hao wiped his forehead and readjusted his mental focus.

A dozen seconds later, with a soft snap, the light on the array plate smoothly closed.

"Very good." Dean Xiao put down his teacup and nodded. "If you practice for another week, you'll be able to use the magic energy testing device on your own."

Just then, a series of quick footsteps came from outside the door, followed by a loud "bang"—the door was pushed open.

"Dean!" Instructor Gu Han rushed in, not even properly putting on his coat, his face full of anxiety. "We've been drawn into the Imperial Capital Academy!"

Dean Xiao was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened. "How come you have such bad luck?"

Gu Han looked miserable, completely at a loss for words. Could this really be blamed on him?
"The capital city isn't that strong, is it?" Chen Hao said calmly from the side.

Upon hearing this, Gu Han and Dean Xiao were about to retort, but then they remembered something and their eyes lit up. No matter how badly the people from the Imperial Capital Academy committed, could they be better than this humanoid demon?

"Chen Hao, I've made up my mind. You will lead the team to the Imperial Capital University as exchange students this time." Dean Xiao immediately made the decision.

"Hmm? This isn't a good idea. I'm already a student at the main campus, and from the previous year. Wouldn't the capital city accuse me of cheating?" Chen Hao asked.

"Don't worry about that. You're about the same age as the rest of this year's cohort, you just enrolled a year earlier. We can handle this kind of thing." Dean Xiao waved his hand, speaking in a tone that indicated you didn't need to worry about it.

Gu Han nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this is also an opportunity for our Pearl Academy. If we can surpass the Imperial Academy, we will be proud of ourselves."

Chen Hao shrugged: "Alright, since it's for Mingzhu's sake, I might as well lend a hand."

"Don't worry, the academy won't treat you unfairly. Every member who participates can receive a reward first, and there will be an extra reward if you win," Dean Xiao said. Since they are his students, he would naturally help them if he could.

“That’s not bad. But I heard that the exchange student competition is only part of it. The important part is the subsequent field training. What if we encounter unforeseen circumstances? Will the university provide support?” Chen Hao asked.

"What force majeure? Wilderness training is an important assessment for you, and it's normal to encounter accidents..." Gu Han hadn't finished speaking his dissatisfied words.

"Alright... Teacher Gu, you can go out now!" Dean Xiao interrupted him directly. He knew Chen Hao's personality very well and knew he would never speak without reason.

"This... alright!" Gu Han was speechless, but still left silently.

"Close the door. And next time you come in, remember to knock!" Dean Xiao's voice continued, carrying a hint of warning.

Gu Han's steps faltered, and he realized how rude he had just been.

……

"Chen Hao, tell me, is there something you're worried about?" Dean Xiao asked in a deep voice, his glasses reflecting the light.
