Full-Time Magister: The Ruler of Wind and Rain

The night passed uneventfully, which was naturally a good thing for Wang Yu. The strength of the shadow demons at night was calculated to be half a level higher, and Wang Yu could not guarantee that he could subdue them with his low-level wind magic. Moreover, his team members were indeed not strong enough to contend with demons that surpassed the servant level. If the shadow demons attacked at night, there was a considerable chance that he would have to expose his mid-level strength.

Fortunately, the previous night passed peacefully. After dawn, Wang Yu quickly organized the people who had been on guard the night before to rest, and he himself went into his tent to meditate. It wasn't until noon that everyone packed up their things and set off for the last mission location listed in the bounty.

It's quite interesting. Although the team's initial bounty was to collect environmental data at the lowest point of the valley, it seemed that everyone in the team knew that the boss blocking their way was a final boss. As expected of students from Shanghai's private Huayao Middle School, they came from wealthy and noble backgrounds and were indeed well-informed.

Without further ado, the team quickly but cautiously set off towards the bottom of the valley, protecting the precious shadow-type seedlings in the middle of the team, while the light-types walked at the front and back of the team, ready to unleash Shadow Buster - Magic Light Bulb - Radiance at any time.

But as the team moved forward, the shadowy aura grew stronger, to the point that even mages of other magic types could sense it directly. Everyone felt a little uneasy. Wang Yu whispered to the vice-captain, Guan Yao, "Make sure you have the wind rails and magical tools ready. If there is a demon attack, be ready to retreat with the wounded. The instructors are 800 meters behind us on the mountain."

While preparing for potential injuries, Wang Yu gathered the Light Mages and had them take turns casting Radiant Purification to cleanse the increasingly dense shadow elemental aura around them. Soon, as they advanced, they could visually observe a lingering mass of black mist at the bottom of the valley. This was probably the Shadow Demon, but why did it show no aggression towards Wang Yu's group who had invaded its territory?

With the doubts still lingering in his mind, Wang Yu began to organize the order of his troops' attacks. Since the enemy had given him ample time to deploy his forces, he was determined to make good use of it.

"Stop here and build a defensive position."

"Li Taiyou, you are responsible for leading all the light mages and fire mages in the team to attack with Radiant Light and Flame when the demons get within 50 meters of the team."

"Wu Shulan, you will command all the mages of the wind, ice, earth, lightning, and plant elements. Lead them to move flexibly and slow down the demons' movement speed as much as possible to create opportunities for the light and fire mages to deal damage."

"Guan Yao, you will lead the Water Mage and Zhang Guangle to command and provide support, and protect the team members as much as possible."

Guan Yao asked, somewhat puzzled, "If I'm in command, then what about you, Captain...?"

"I'll go lure that demon. We can't just sit here waiting for it to die; it can't stay cowering there forever. Our team has plenty of combat experience, everyone. Let's do our best in this final battle of the training!"

Wang Yu's act of stepping forward made the girls in the group look at him with even more enthusiasm, but that's another story. He conjured a wind wheel and glided towards the swirling black mist at what he considered to be a slow speed. Even when he got within thirty meters, the black mist was still churning on its own, as if it had no idea that Wang Yu was coming.

No, I can't get any closer, Wang Yu thought. Although he was quite powerful, he didn't have any excellent defensive magic tools, so he really didn't dare to get too close to the Shadow Demon, which was known for its speed and unpredictability.

All that could be seen was the gathering of emerald green wind elements in Wang Yu's hand, which quickly condensed into a wind blade and swung it fiercely at the black mist, cleaving the black mist in two with a single strike.

"Eek!!!!!!!!!"

With a chilling roar, a pair of jet-black claws emerged from the black mist and reached for Wang Yu.

wrong!

It has two pairs of claws! Two pairs of sharp claws came flying at you one after the other!

The knowledge Wang Yu had gained from his intense training at the Qingtian Hunting Grounds before setting off came in handy at this moment, and he immediately understood what it was.

These are two types of Shadow Claw Beasts! These demons, which are not quite beast-like, live in areas where shadow power is strong. Their true form is that black mist, and their only physical organ is a pair of sharp claws.

If it were two slave-level demons, even if they attacked from both sides, Wang Yu could demonstrate his skillful maneuvering with his wind-tracking. However, it was clear that one pair of claws was moving slightly faster than he had anticipated.

Advanced stage? That's a bit troublesome. Without revealing his intermediate-level abilities, relying solely on his initial-level wind element to fight two demons, one of which has reached the advanced stage and is not far from the warrior level, is giving Wang Yu a headache. He had no choice but to ride the wind track to the side to temporarily avoid the combined attack. After pulling away, he condensed wind blades again and threw them at the advanced-stage clawed beast.

As expected, the advanced-stage clawed beast was enraged. Although the wind blades seemed to pass through the black mist without cutting much, they could still damage the beast by disturbing the black mist. The advanced-stage clawed beast felt pain (Wang Yu thought to himself, "This thing doesn't have a physical body, can it really feel pain?"), and chased after Wang Yu even more fiercely.

While Wang Yu was focused on fighting the advanced-stage clawed beast, another servant-level clawed beast charged towards the group of magic high school students. If it were students from Bocheng Tianlan Magic High School, they would probably be like frightened birds, being chased around by a demon. But the students from Shanghai are indeed relatively well-behaved; some were so frightened that their hands trembled and their star trails were interrupted, but so far, no one has been seen running away in fear.

Zhao Manyan was the first to unleash his magic, but his magic quickly drew a barrage of curses: This bastard didn't just use Radiance-Purify, he insisted on using Radiance-Shining. As a result, he did restrict the path of the Black Qi Claws rushing over, but he also badly blinded his teammates. It's like playing CS:GO in the middle of the night with the lights off and trying to clear the banana path, only to find that there's a team of Ultraman Tiga on the other side.

However, light magic is indeed the nemesis of shadow magic. The Shadow Claw Beast absorbed the full force of the light, and the black aura thinned by ten or twenty percent. Seeing that it was effective, the other six light mages also began to unleash their light, and once they started, they did so with ferocity and abandon!

This battle was destined to be the light mage's home turf. Fireballs did little damage to the Shadowclaw Beast, and the other elements could only play a supporting role. The water mage was basically slacking off the whole time, because this servant-level Shadowclaw Beast was obviously one of the weaker ones among servants. Under the bombardment of six or seven light mages, its proud claws didn't even get a chance to swing before the black aura was "evaporated" by the light.

After the group of light mages dealt with the claw beasts, their magic energy was almost completely depleted. It should be noted that a beginner mage who has cultivated to the peak of level three only has enough magic energy to cast about twenty beginner level one spells. Moreover, these magic students are generally only beginner level one or two.

But just as everyone began to celebrate, Cheng Hui suddenly said weakly, "By the way, is the captain still fighting another demon...?"
