Full-Time Magister: The Ruler of Wind and Rain

Inside a camouflage tent a few hundred meters behind Wang Yu's team, Feng Yang, Gu Han, Yu Xiujia, and other examiners from Tianping Mountain Station, along with the teachers from Huayao Middle School, were using Professor Gu Han's sound magic, Sound String - Listening, to observe this seemingly strange team. Their captain had first chosen a bounty commission that required traversing a demon-infested area, and then, while the other teams were already on their way, he sat down for a meeting? This unusual behavior piqued the curiosity of the teachers grading the teams, leading to the scene just now.

After listening to Wang Yu's explanation of the rules, Jiang Chao, the deputy chief instructor of Tianping Mountain Station, looked incredulous: "This kid, has he really never participated in mage training? His methods for organizing teams are so sophisticated. Not only are the rules reasonable, but he also covered all the points to note in the wild, and he even deliberately left some loopholes for everyone to fill, making those students believe that these rules were the result of everyone's discussion." He turned to Feng Yang and said, "Boss, we need to recruit this kind of talent to our Eastern Military Region as soon as possible. If we're too late, he'll be snatched away! Wang Yu is definitely a top-notch commander. If he breaks through to the intermediate level and works here for two years, I can even give him my position. Boss, you really need to act quickly! That kid is from Bo City. If Zhan Kong just ties him up to the Southern Military Region, neither of us will have any recourse."

"Hehehe, thank you for your kind words, Commander Jiang," Gu Han said with a smile before Feng Yang could speak, "but Wang Yu is currently a student in the preparatory class of Mingzhu Academy. Commander Feng and Commander Jiang, if you intend to recruit him, at least wait until he graduates first."

"There are military academies in the army that train talent," Feng Yang was clearly also tempted, but he wasn't as out of control as his subordinate. "Anyway, I'll talk to him after the training is over, and it'll depend on his own wishes."

One of Huayao's team leaders chimed in, "Wang Yu's team leadership and organization skills are indeed very strong, and he is the strongest member of the team. I believe he will definitely be the brightest star in the team this time."

This was a bit of a compliment, but if Wang Yu himself heard it, he would definitely say: "Aren't you underestimating me a little?"

Just then, the team's preliminary assessment entered the next stage. Wang Yu stood on a stone that served as a platform and said:

"So, we've agreed on a set of rules, and we hope everyone will follow them in the future so that we can all complete this training safely. To that end, we now need to take stock of everyone's magic type. First, does our team have any sound-based, healing-based, or summoning-based members?"

After exchanging glances, the team members shook their heads. Wang Yu joked, "Luckily, we didn't. If we could gather all these magic types with just twenty-five people, we might as well skip the training and go home to buy lottery tickets—we'd definitely win the jackpot!" This drew laughter from everyone. Indeed, the probability of awakening black magic, white magic, and dimensional magic at the initial stage is extremely low, perhaps less than one in a thousand. The vast majority of those at the initial stage awaken elemental magic, and the three types Wang Yu specifically mentioned have an even lower awakening probability.

"Alright, now, are there any students who have awakened non-elemental magic? If so, please raise your hand!" Wang Yu guessed that there were thirty people, and all of them were lightning-type, so shouldn't they get some other types?

Sure enough, two people in the crowd raised their hands, and Wang Yu asked them to introduce themselves.

The first to stand up was a slightly short boy: "Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Guangle. I have awakened the Shadow element. I am currently quite proficient in using the level one magic Shadow Escape - Teleportation, but not so proficient in the level two magic Shadow Escape - Illusion."

It's quite remarkable that someone with "light" in their name awakened the Shadow magic. However, Shadow magic is indeed the most common type of black magic. Other types include Necromancy, which is almost nonexistent in China but more prevalent in Egypt; Curses, which are said to be incredibly powerful when mastered, but spells targeting souls can be harmful, so their use is subject to stricter regulations, and the number of awakened individuals is relatively small; and Poison magic is also a very niche type, primarily awakened by the British.

Then, a girl with unremarkable appearance stood up and introduced herself: "Hello everyone, I am Lin Yunke, a plant-type, a first-level magic user with proficient growth and use of vines, but I haven't successfully drawn a second-level magic yet."

That's not bad either, it's plant-based, a relatively common type of white magic. Of the four white magic schools, only Blessing is quite rare and seems to require special resources to awaken. The awakening probabilities of the other three schools—Plant, Mind, and Healing—are roughly the same. However, Plant does not quite match the other three schools in terms of team utility.

Next, the remaining team members announced their magic types. Apart from the two rare magic types and Xie Ze's girlfriend's lightning type, the team had four fire types, five ice types (that's a lot!), three wind types, three earth types, five water types, and seven light types. Among them, the water and light types, who were the least combat-effective at the beginner level, numbered twelve, accounting for almost half of the team. Wang Yu couldn't help but worry about how to make good use of these mages and get them to contribute to the team.

Alright, let's get going! If we don't act now, it'll be too late!

………………

Five days later.

In the lush forest of Tianping Mountain, a group of young people were resting on the edge of a cliff. They drank water, relieved themselves, and those who were hungry took out a piece of dry food to chew on.

Most of these young people were wearing tattered school uniforms, many of which were torn by the sharp thorns of vines in the dense forest. Of course, some of them had washed their clothes and tried to dry them by the fire but ended up burning because they didn't control the heat well.

The students in the team are now mainly focused on complaining while moving forward. This is what their team leader, Wang Yu, taught them. His exact words were, "Anyway, your teachers can't hear you, so if you have any complaints, just yell at them."

Unexpectedly, the level of swearing in this world was no less than that in his previous life. Before a day had even passed, the teachers at Huayao High School had already carelessly lost their horses. This made Wang Yu feel somewhat ashamed, and he hoped that the judges following behind would deduct fewer subjective points when giving their scores.

Despite their resentment, the students persevered, traversing mountains and forests, advancing towards each stage of their goals. So far, they had collected nine of the fifteen special materials required for the bounty and were preparing to head towards the location of the tenth. But standing before them was a river valley not depicted on the map. Perhaps the ten-meter-wide "stream" appeared as a ditch to the mapmaker, or perhaps the instructors organizing the training had deliberately omitted the valley from the map; in any case, they now needed to find a way to cross this valley, which was at least ten meters wide.
