Full-Time Magister: The Ruler of Wind and Rain

After knocking out his first opponent, Wang Yu quickly used his evasive maneuvering ability before the opponent's magic hit him. After all, he didn't use a one-time speed boost skill like Wind Track - Swift Movement, but rather Wind Track Flash Step. Furthermore, within the wind field he unintentionally created when casting wind magic, the number of times he could use wind magic and his flexibility were greatly increased. This allowed him to dodge the fire spells, ice vines, and... radiance thrown at him by the three opponents after a few turns.

Haha, it seems that most teams probably have a Light-type magic user with awkward low-level combat power, especially a level 1 Light Radiance. If you can't hit the opponent's face accurately, the brightness of this spell is not enough to create the effect of a flashbang.

After dodging the first wave of skills, Wang Yu decided to take care of this light mage first, at least to force him to use his magic tool. After all, the light mage's flight speed is quite fast, and if he accidentally gets hit in the face, he will be temporarily blinded and become a target for others to shoot.

As for the other two opponents, Ice Vine and Firefly, Wang Yu was still somewhat confident that he could outmaneuver them with his agility. After all, in his previous life, when playing Apex Legends, he mainly played heroes like Powerboy and Horizon in squads, relying on his agility to rush to the front and get the first shot. In solo queue, he played Valkyrie and Loba with a Zz'Roo or Sentry to shoot people from a distance, and then enjoyed the thrill of being chased like a dog. He was absolutely confident in his agility.

With all three opponents having just finished casting a round of magic and entering a skill vacuum period, Wang Yu took the initiative, connecting with the Wind Star Orbit first and releasing Wind Orbit-Flash Step again, targeting the Light-type kid, preparing to repeat the gentlemanly act of launching an attack from behind.

But the guy from the Light faction wasn't stupid either. Anyone who could get to this place was a fool; they were all either scions of powerful families or geniuses from some region. He summoned his shield magic tool, and the super-thick golden shield pierced the ground twenty or thirty centimeters deep. He gripped the shield's handle tightly, trying to replicate his earlier action of grabbing someone and throwing them in an arc. But if he hadn't let go quickly, he almost strained his back.

Hey, this guy tricked me with a magical tool, and then he shoved the Radiant Light behind his back. Luckily, Wang Yu still had some muscle memory from the banana-stealing trick, so he quickly turned his back and fled, turning to his next target.

At that moment, he saw that Wu Shulan's Earth Wave - Slow had trapped the ice mage again, but Cheng Hui was still charging up her fireball. Moreover, this ice mage seemed to possess a magical artifact, quickly breaking free from the Earth Wave - Slow and running away from Wu Shulan. The magical artifact granted him four or five seconds of superhuman speed, but the wind mage's speed advantage lasted longer. Wang Yu immediately caught up, grabbing his collar the very next second as his magical artifact's energy ran out, and with a powerful swing, he took down another one.

Seeing this, Cheng Hui, who had finished outlining the star trails, threw the last fireball at the light mage whose shield magic tool had just disappeared. The light mage, who looked very young, either didn't have a second magic tool or didn't have time to use it, was knocked out of his protective ring by the fireball.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse. With five against one, while the last remaining fire mage was still drawing star trails, Wang Yu had already stepped onto the wind trails, casually patted him on the shoulder, and then tossed him away again.

Five for zero! Wang Yu's team won easily, with no one injured or eliminated. Wang Yu's performance (a physics version of a master of embarrassing himself) and the team's excellent tactical arrangements impressed the examiners in charge of maintaining order in the match.

However, they expended a great deal of magical energy. Wu Shulan and Wang Yu, who had the highest cultivation levels in the team, fought the entire match, constantly releasing magic. At this moment, the magical energy in their Stardust was almost exhausted, while Cheng Hui was at her limit. After releasing three Fire Spikes, she almost fainted on the field.

Fortunately, this was an exam, not some kind of extreme survival test. After each match, the winner was told they could go back and rest, and would have another match the next day. However, most people stayed in the arena to watch the matches of other groups. The losing students registered, returned their magical artifacts, received a souvenir, and were then sent off with the words, "Welcome to apply to Pearl Academy for the Magic College Entrance Examination next year."

In the end, today's magic competition lasted from a little after nine in the morning until five in the afternoon. However, considering that there were the most matches today, it should end sooner as the competition continues.

Back at the hotel, Wang Yu extended his stay for five more days. Based on his observations today, he felt he had a good chance of advancing to a later stage. He quickly ate something and then entered a meditative state. Today, his wind-elemental stardust was quite dim, and his magical energy was almost completely depleted. Therefore, he temporarily changed his meditation priority, deciding to refrain from visiting Water Consort for the next few days to conserve Wind Consort's magical energy.

The competition began as scheduled the next day. Of the remaining 56 teams, 28 teams advanced to the next round, while the remaining four teams were selected by the examiners from the eliminated teams to form 32 teams.

Today, one of Wang Yu's opponents was a Group C mage who had cultivated Fireball to the third level, meaning he had mastered Fireball-Explosion. The explosive power of that Fireball was truly formidable. However, he wasn't very lucky. His teammates included two young "magical geniuses" who had spontaneously awakened their powers. These mages usually have an age advantage over ordinary mages, since if they awaken at twelve, they've already studied magic for two years by fourteen, theoretically stronger than Wang Yu, who had only studied magic for a year. But magic is sometimes fair; early success comes at the cost of early decline. These two prematurely awakened guys, one fourteen and the other fifteen, couldn't cast any spells. Under the previous selection system, these two guys would have had a huge advantage due to their age and stardust strength, but this time they were pure liability, completely wiped out by Cheng Hui's two Fireballs.

Wang Yu performed admirably again today, managing to eliminate one unlucky opponent. However, the best performer of the match was Fu Liming. Together with his shield magic item and armor magic item, they shielded Cheng Hui from three Fireburst-Explosion attacks from the opposing level 3 fire mage. When Fu Liming ran out of defensive magic items for the final attack, he simply picked up the petite Cheng Hui, activated his slipper magic item, and made a quick escape, causing the opponent's fourth Fireburst attack to miss. Wang Yu also noticed that Cheng Hui's face was slightly flushed when she was put down.

Looking back, we can see that the opposing fire mage was overly focused on eliminating the enemy's offensive mage first. The problem was, Cheng Hui wasn't Wang Yu's strongest player, leading to a miscalculation by the opponents. Four consecutive fire attacks failed to produce any results, much like a jungler failing to gank mid lane four times in a row – just gaining experience points. This fire mage also contributed nothing to the team; instead, his teammates, trying to protect him, were picked off one by one by Wang Yu and Xie Ze, who wielded the Demon Slayer.

However, after the competition ended today, Wang Yu discovered that the beginner level 3 fire mage had been left behind and assigned to one of the four resurrection teams. That meant that he might encounter them again later, so he had to be careful. They weren't stupid, and they wouldn't fall for his tricks a second time, would they?
