Full-Time Magister: Immortality Begins with Slaying Demons

……

Zhou Sining stretched, not taking the grumpy fire department head to heart at all, and turned to head to the fire department's exclusive lecture hall.

In a small, third-tier county like Bocheng, fire element is quite rare.

However, in ancient cities like the capital, which are famous throughout the country and even the world, fire-type mages are already common.

Even though the overall strength of the ancient capital academy is not as good as that of the pearl academy, there are still quite a few fire-element students who come here.

Most of them shared Zhou Sining's opinion: they believed that fire, being second only to light in its destructive power against the undead, could provide them with effective training in the ancient capital, and their future prospects would be even better.

In the ancient capital academy, the fire element is the second largest element after the light element. The fire element alone in the inner courtyard accommodates no fewer than two thousand students.

More than a thousand of them reside permanently within the academy, covering all magicians from intermediate level one to intermediate level three. Some senior students are even terrifying figures who have reached the threshold of high-level magic, so the competitive pressure is bound to be immense.

However, Zhou Sining wasn't afraid. He wouldn't dare say he was guaranteed to take first place on the leaderboard, but he certainly wouldn't be unable to even get past 700th place, as Song Xi had said.

Seven hundred people...

That's absolutely insulting!

Even before he had used his full strength, Zhou Sining had already astonished scions of prominent families like Mu Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu, and had even attracted a host of bigwigs in Shanghai to vie for him.

As a result, he honestly completed his tasks and was promoted to the inner courtyard, but was looked down upon by a mere department head.

How could he possibly be so angry?

Just because he's young, does that mean he deserves to be looked down upon?

Indeed, life is full of idiots.

Ignoring the head of the neurology department, Zhou Sining refused to believe that Song Xi would dare to deny documents stamped and approved by two deans.

Despite his dislike for it, he still had to attend classes. Moreover, he was new to the Inner Academy and unfamiliar with the place, so he needed to understand the Inner Academy's resource allocation system.

……

……

After attending classes for about two or three days, Zhou Sining had a basic understanding of the inner court's structure.

Unlike the outer college, where students are required to take some general and specialized courses, the inner college operates on a completely laissez-faire system.

There are relatively few theoretical courses, so it doesn't matter whether you attend or not.

However, you have to go to the final exam. The school won't lower the difficulty of the exam just because everyone is a mid-level mage. If you don't pass the exam, you can only be demoted and stay in school.

The resource allocation system is also very simple.

Large departments like the Fire Academy have their own points leaderboard.

On the first of each month, the department head will distribute the corresponding cultivation resources according to the ranking on the list.

You can apply to participate in the test at any time before the 15th of each month.

The test consists of two parts, one of which is a mandatory duty assignment.

Each student must serve four days a month on the outer city wall and kill a total of 100 undead.

The second part is free cultivation. As long as you complete your duty, you can go out to play, bury yourself in cultivation, or even live on the outer city wall. The school will not care about you.

To achieve a good ranking on the leaderboard, you must kill undead to earn points, provided you complete mandatory duty tasks.

<Servant level, 1 point per servant>

A lowly servant-level pet, worth 2 points.

High Servant level, 4 points each.

Junior Warrior level, 40 points each.

A general-level battle, worth 80 points.

In short, the points for the four mandatory duty missions are fixed and the same for everyone.

To climb to a high and good ranking on the leaderboard, you must go to the outer city wall and kill as many undead as possible!

Therefore, the top ten on the list change from time to time, and no one dares to say that they can definitely hold the number one spot.

In the ancient capital's universities, the students' hard work is visibly rewarded, and the risks and rewards are proportional.

This is why even though the dropout rate of freshmen at the ancient capital's academy is so high, its reputation remains excellent, and every year a steady stream of students are willing to apply to it.

After understanding the resource allocation mechanism, Zhou Sining signed up without hesitation.

Although it is already mid-month, his points have fallen far behind those of his classmates.

But it doesn't matter, even if he doesn't get a good ranking at the end of the month, he can still gain a lot of life points.

Moreover, he doesn't believe that after working hard for half a month, he really can't get a good ranking on the list!

……

……

The second front and third war zone of the eastern city wall.

Su Zhe patrolled back and forth in the war zone, while Jiang Bowen commanded from the air aboard the Sky Eagle, observing the undead below.

As the winter solstice officially passed, the number and quality of the undead were slowly increasing, and the frequency of appearance of warrior-level undead was also getting higher and higher.

"Eek!!!"

Suddenly, the eagle let out a piercing scream.

Jiang Bowen's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "A Corpse Demon General has appeared at the eight o'clock position."

Su Zhe looked over and saw a three-meter-tall, mountain-like fleshy corpse suddenly appear amidst the dense, wave-like black torrent of corpses.

Its scarlet, light bulb-like eyes stared intently at the outer city wall, and then it moved.

Its oppressive power is not as great as that of the Corpse General, but this Corpse Demon General should not be underestimated.

It can spew out a viscous liquid from its mouth, like a cannonball, which is extremely corrosive and toxic.

"Gather a team of hunter mages to take it down," Su Zhe said.

The war is becoming increasingly tense, and both he and Jiang Bowen are trying their best not to take action.

Moreover, this Corpse Demon is relatively slow-moving. Even if we can't defeat it, we can wait for it to enter our attack range and then unleash a righteous gang attack.

"A team has already gone there," Jiang Bowen said.

Su Zhe looked over again and found that the fire mage team had already cleaned up that area.

A five-man squad had already jumped off the city wall and headed straight for the Corpse Demon General.

The rotting corpse demon seemed to have also noticed the group and turned to attack them.

Although he was slow, that guy was quite big; when he took big strides, the ground seemed to shake!

"Defend! Don't let our formation be broken!" shouted the hunter mage, the leader of the five-person squad.

Just as I was about to put up a defense, a figure darted out from beside me!

White flames burned fiercely on his body, and wherever he passed, the dead were burned to ashes, leaving a trail of flames!

The flames spread out in concentric circles, setting everything around them ablaze. A single flame bloomed on the black earth in an instant, a beauty that was impossible to ignore.

A magnificent star map bloomed underfoot in an instant, and the clenched fist rubbed violently against the air before being blasted away by its owner!

"BOOM!!!"

Nine white flame dragons roared and charged out, leaving behind bright afterglows in their wake, and collided head-on with the oncoming Corpse Demon General!

The immense impact sent the three-meter-tall Corpse Demon General flying!

"Bang!"

The dragons exploded in an instant, their flames mercilessly engulfing everything around them!

A brilliant white flame flower bloomed on the black earth!

With a single move, just one move, the Corpse Demon was annihilated.

It even wiped out all the low-level undead within a 20-meter radius!

The remaining four people stood there, stunned, unable to believe their eyes.

It was only after the man covered in white flames reminded them that they realized what was happening and hurriedly retreated back inside the city walls.

Su Zhe finally saw the man clearly, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Zhou Sining!"
