Full-Time Magister: My Little Furnace Refines All Things

One month after the annual performance review.

"Phew. Finally, I've reached level three in both systems." Zhang Mo finished his meditation and stood up.

Xiao Lu provided me with various data, which Zhang Mo silently recited in his mind.

【Ding】

Host: Zhang Mo.

Age: Seventeen.

Magic: Fire (Level 3, Beginner) 20%, Space (Level 3, Beginner) 1%.

Physical strength: Perfected at the servant level.

Mental strength: Mid-stage of the second realm (20%).

Magical items: Heavenly Flame Sub-Fire (Top-tier Spirit Seed), Slave-level Essence*1, Slave-level Residual Soul*21, Strange Bone*58 (Slave-level), Qi and Blood Pill*258 (Slave-level).

In the classroom, Xue Musheng was standing on the podium announcing, "Classmates, we are about to embark on a two-month-long outdoor magic training program. I hope everyone will make the necessary preparations."

These words immediately caused an uproar in the classroom.

"No way, I've heard since I was little that there are man-eating monsters in the wild. I'm scared, I don't want to go." A timid female student in the audience looked terrified.

"You're not going? Then forget about getting into the magic academy. They won't accept a spineless coward like you who's never been through any training and wets his pants at the sight of demons!" Zhao Kunsan, standing next to the girl, crossed his arms and mocked her.

"What are you afraid of! We're mages, one spell each, and we can overwhelm it."

……

Now almost everyone in the elite class can cast spells, but this is under the condition of no interference. If the target of the spell is a ferocious man-eating demon, most of them cannot even connect a single star!

A mage's duty is to slay demons and protect the people. If a mage can't even use magic when facing demons, how can he slay them and protect the people?

Universities want to recruit magicians who dare to wield their swords against demons, not "performers" who can only shoot dead targets. This is why universities emphasize practical training and assessment.

In a corner of the classroom, Zhang Mo and his two companions.

"Brother Mo, Brother Fan, are you nervous? We're about to see the real demons." Zhang Xiaohou wasn't his usual cheerful self; instead, he looked a little pale and nervous as he spoke.

"Young Master, remember this: being afraid of those beasts is useless. The more you show weakness, the more ferocious they become. Your only choice is to rise up and use magic to kill them!"

"If even you, who wields extraordinary magic, are so timid, how will you protect your loving uncle and aunt and the people you love in dangerous situations in the future, relying on your trembling legs or useless prayers?"

"Remember, relying on yourself is worse than relying on anyone else. Fear is a biological instinct, and overcoming fear is your ticket to becoming a strong person!"

Zhang Mo looked at the young and inexperienced Zhang Xiaohou and said earnestly.

Mo Fan, who was standing to the side, also deeply agreed.

After hearing Zhang Mo's words, Zhang Xiaohou's initial fear began to subside, and his eyes became firm.

"Yes, Brother Mo, I understand." Zhang Xiaohou nodded heavily and said.

……

On the way to Xuefeng Mountain Station, a convoy of buses was moving slowly.

In the car.

"See that? That solitary mountain is Xuefeng Mountain. It's the border point of our Bo City. Xuefeng Mountain Station is located in the valley between Xuefeng Mountain and that Leiyu Mountain Screen," the two accompanying military mages introduced to the students.

Only a few students on the bus were still in the mood to talk quietly; the rest were trying to calm themselves down.

……

Finally, we arrived at Xuefeng Mountain Inn. Led by the military strategist on the bus, everyone traversed the steep mountain road and arrived at the entrance of the inn.

"Boss Zhan Kong, why are you on duty today?" the military mages in charge asked.

"I had nothing to do, and I heard that a group of girls from Tianlan Magic High School were coming in today, so I came to check it out." Zhan Kong didn't hide his true nature at all, and said with a grin.

Zhou Min frowned slightly, because she felt that the military mage named Zhan Kong was staring at her and sizing her up.

"Hey, Uncle Zhan Kong, can't you be serious for once? Look how scared my classmate is," Zhang Mo said, rubbing his forehead as he walked out of the back of the line, speechless.

When Zhou Min turned around and heard Zhang Mo help her out of the predicament, her pretty face flushed, and she gave Zhang Mo a grateful look.

"Huh? Xiao Mo, what are you doing here?" Zhan Kong was surprised to see Zhang Mo walking out from behind.

"No, uncle, you didn't even know I went to Tianlan Magic High School? I even brought you a gift." Zhang Mo looked resentful and pretended to be disappointed.

"Ahem." Zhan Kong gave an awkward smile.

"Zhang Mo, I suppose the chief instructor has been too busy with military affairs lately to keep up," Xue Musheng said with a smile, trying to smooth things over.

Xue Musheng then turned to Zhan Kong and said, "Chief Instructor Zhan Kong, you may not know this, but Zhang Mo is the top student of our Tianlan Magic High School this year!"

"In the annual assessment, he achieved excellent results, earning an S+ rating in both the Stardust Test and the Release skill with four Star Rings and an instantaneous Level 2 Fire Blast!"

"What! You've actually reached such a high level of cultivation, kid." After hearing Xue Musheng's words, Zhan Kong stared wide-eyed at Zhang Mo.

This kid is so freakish?! Even with the vast resources of my ancestral family, I'm barely on par with him at his age.

"No, I have to recruit this kid into a unit of the army." Zhan Kong thought to himself.

After saying that, Zhan Kong put his arm around Zhang Mo's shoulder and said with a grin, "Hehe, come on, it's been so long, let's have a good chat!"

Xue Musheng: "Chief Instructor, what should we do?"

Zhan Kong turned to the military mage leading the group and instructed, "Yun Bo, take them to explore the post town. I will announce the assessment details for the training when I return."

"Yes," the military mages leading the group replied.

Seeing the close relationship between Zhang Mo and Zhan Kong, some classmates started discussing it.

"Hey, Mo Shen calls this head instructor 'uncle'! What's their relationship?" a student asked curiously.

"Hmph! So Zhang Mo is a second-generation official, huh? I bet all his power and influence comes from connections!"

"If I had those resources, I wouldn't be any worse than him." A boy with his arms crossed and a face full of resentment couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Zhao Kunsan, who had always been at odds with Zhang Mo, suddenly spoke up: "You? You're going to be a grandson of Chief Instructor Zhan Kong? People will think you're a jinx! Instead of wasting your time being sarcastic, you should go home and practice your magic. Otherwise, you'll just end up being a clown for the rest of your life."

Although Zhao Kunsan and Zhang Mo did not get along, he could not stand such a clown spouting nonsense.

Hearing Zhao Kunsan's sarcastic remarks, the boy was furious: "You, you—"

"What do you mean, 'you'?! Fatty Zhao is right! What the hell are you doing jumping around like a clown? You're even gossiping about Mozi behind his back. If you've got the guts, come out and fight your Grandpa Mo one-on-one."

"If I don't beat the shit out of you in three seconds, you've done a good job today!" Mo Fan said arrogantly, arms crossed.

"That's right, that's right, you did a good job of cleaning up!" Zhang Xiaohou chimed in angrily from the side.

The boy was speechless after being confronted by Mo Fan and the others. He was joking; even if he had ten lives, he wouldn't dare to fight Mo Fan one-on-one. This guy was the second-highest in the grade and dared to challenge Mu Zhuoyun, the overlord of Bo City. This guy, who had only been able to cast spells a couple of days ago, would be beaten to death if he fought him.

He was just jealous of Zhang Mo, a second-generation rich kid who was born with power and influence, but he wasn't a reckless fool.

Before long, unable to bear the gazes of Mo Fan and the others, he slunk away to the back of the group.
