I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 14, Training Content

The layout of the post station was very simple, just a cross shape. The upper left was where the military mages rested and lived, the upper right was where they used for training exercises and training soldiers, and the two sides below were for shops and stalls, looking no different from a market in a town.

However, this market doesn't sell chicken, duck, fish, or meat; it sells items related to demons and monsters, as well as a lot of resources related to magicians' battles and training.

"Come, come, this is a top-quality demon-walking tool. Let me tell you, this is a real gem. Do you know what the fastest demon is... that's right, it's the Running Demon. This is made from the skin of the Running Demon's hind legs, enchanted with a wind-tracking rune, and powered by pure wind stones. When it runs... it will absolutely leave the One-Eyed Demon Wolf standing there helplessly. If you want to buy it, I'll give you a discount, since you seem to have a special connection with this treasure."

"Hey, you bald guy, stop bragging. Can you even call that a magic tool? Any pair of Nikes would be better to wear than that."

"Bullshit! We sacrificed two people to kill this demon, and I got the hide from its hind leg. It's an authentic demon-slaying tool!" Baldy immediately started arguing with the person who was mocking him.

Further ahead, there is another stall displaying colorful magic stones.

Magic stones are quite simple; they are special stones formed in places where elements such as fire, wind, thunder, and earth are abundant. They contain energy similar to the magical energy within a magician's stardust. Although they cannot be directly used by magicians, they can be inlaid into many magical artifacts and tools to provide a continuous source of energy.

The teacher covered all of this in class.

Completely refined magic stones can be used as currency because the consumption of magic stones is very large, just like iron in the previous life.

For example, a large number of lightning-type magic stones are consumed every year to supply the city's normal needs.

For example, home appliances such as mobile phones and computers are powered by lightning-type magic stones, while steam engines are powered by fire-type magic stones.

When Jiang Shang first transmigrated, he even disassembled his own TV to check if there was a Thunder Demon Stone inside, but he overlooked the fact that the thing had wires.

As a result, Jiang Shang lost several hundred silver dollars.

In addition, Jiang Shang also went to the library to research the origins of various magic systems. Besides Edison being the originator of light magic, he also found that the originators of earth and necromancy magic were the Ancient Kings, which is exactly the same as in the original novel. Wind and water magic were vague, with inferences but no conclusive evidence, so they weren't included in the book. However, Jiang Shang was skeptical about the claim that Faraday was the originator of lightning magic. After all, so many dynasties had existed on this land, and emperors called themselves Sons of Heaven; surely lightning magic, representing divine power, would have been discovered long ago? Besides, the Azure Dragon could use lightning!

It can't be that this place was destroyed by demons in modern times, which is why Faraday is considered the progenitor of lightning.

Thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible. There are too many powerful demon kingdoms on this land!

Leaving aside the Kunlun Mountains, the Qinling Mountains alone are enough to cause trouble for generations. Moreover, there are many other famous mountain ranges on this land, each hiding a kingdom of demons and monsters.

In addition, there are demons that evolved from ancient totems, which are also major threats.

Otherwise, Australia and the Temple of Liberty wouldn't be considered holy sites for magicians now.

"The score for this military training assessment is related to our college entrance exam results, accounting for a full 20%!"

"We really need to work hard; whether we get into a top magic university depends on this."

"Yeah yeah"

The people in the group were chatting in twos and threes.

Jiang Shang was also thinking about the content of this military training. He had heard from the senior students of previous years that each military training experience was actually just about passing the time at this station. If you behaved yourself and transitioned through it, you could basically get a B.

To get an A, you have to stand out and personally confront the demons.

But this military training obviously can't be the kind of slacker military training that the senior students talked about!

"I wonder what awaits us this time," Jiang Shang muttered to himself.

Soon, the 70 students in the elite class were taken to the drill ground of the military camp at Cangleishan Post Station.

Several dark-skinned military magistrates in uniform stood on the parade ground.

There were several stacks of supplies and items next to them, which looked like sets of military uniforms similar to those of military mages.

The students in the top class were standing right in front of them.

After the 70 students lined up, they attracted the attention of the military magistrates who were loitering on the playground. They all showed smiles of great interest.

"Tell me, why were these student soldiers put in our military camp?" a square-faced man said to the person next to him.

"No, you can't find it. Why don't you ask the staff officer?" the man replied.

"I'm not going, you go if you want to," the square-faced man said, shaking his head as if asking the chief of staff what kind of dangerous thing it was.

Lieutenant Zhang Dingtian entered the parade ground from the rear and frowned when he saw how lazy the soldiers were.

He walked directly to the front of the top class.

A whistle blew!

"Everyone, assemble!"

Lieutenant Zhang Dingtian blew his whistle and shouted.

The students in the top class stood to Zhang Dingtian's left front, while the military personnel from Yuncheng gathered next to the top class.

In less than two minutes, all 300 military mages at Canglei Mountain Station had assembled next to the elite class.

"Report, assembly complete," a military magistrate saluted Lieutenant Zhang Dingtian.

Zhang Dingtian waved his hand, signaling the man to return to the group.

"Today is the day for the students of Tianshui Magic High School to come here for military training. I only have one request for you: put away your roguishness. If you corrupt the students, I'll make you sleep on the floor with demons."

Zhang Dingtian didn't take a microphone; he just spoke calmly, without shouting, yet his voice echoed across the playground, reaching everyone's ears.

Jiang Shang was shocked when he saw this.

The one capable of this performance must be the sound element from dimensional magic!

It's breathtaking. Although it doesn't have the dramatic tension of lightning or fire-type attacks, its ability to strike straight to the heart is just as powerful.

"Yes," the military magistrates answered in unison.

After they finished answering, Zhang Dingtian turned around and began to lecture the students in the top class.

"Students, next, I will briefly explain the tasks and objectives of this military training to you."

First, you will undergo a month of physical training here.

Afterwards, you will be assigned to military mages for a month of wilderness survival training.

It is indeed very brief.

As soon as Lieutenant Zhang Dingtian finished speaking, the people below began to murmur amongst themselves.

It wasn't just the top students who were discussing it; even the military mages couldn't help but mutter to themselves.

"Why do we still need physical training?"

"Sending these students out into the wilderness is practically suicide! Even if they're in a hurry to be reborn, they shouldn't take shortcuts like this!"

………………

"Silence!" Zhang Dingtian's voice was so clear in the noisy playground.

The playground immediately fell silent.

More than 370 pairs of eyes were all on this staff officer.

"I see everyone is discussing this arrangement, so I'll tell you all about it," Zhang Dingtian said.

"First, physical training is absolutely necessary. As novice mages, you need sufficient physical strength to cast spells, dodge, and even escape after your magic is exhausted. I'm sure you'll understand once I tell you this."

"Secondly, field training doesn't mean you have to go to the front lines with the soldiers to fight demons. I'm not that stupid."

You so-called top students will be conducting a second sweep of the area we've already swept.

First, they will clean up any remaining criminals, and this will be done with the assistance of a military magistrate.

Secondly, you will learn wilderness survival skills. What you learn from textbooks will ultimately become your own. During this wilderness training exercise, you will also learn from my men how to track, hide, and detect monsters in the wild.

……

I'll be taking care of some things recently, and then I'll speed up updates.
