Full-Time Magister: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 52 Fighting 3

"BOOM~~~~~~~~~~"

Rings of lightning and fire rolled outwards from the point of impact of the fire, with scorching circles of lightning and fire flying wildly.

The air was completely ignited by this one, and the shockwave reached the audience.

Mu Bai had already been devoured. The student who released the fire became arrogant, like a rooster that had won a fight. He raised his head and chest, took two steps forward, raised his hand slightly, and then pressed it down twice to signal the surroundings to be quiet.

Suddenly, he felt nothing as he pressed down. He looked up in confusion and saw that his arm was frozen and numb. Before he could react, vines bound him tightly. The vines swayed like snakes, and the student who was entangled by them swayed along with them.

Once the speed reached its limit, the vine loosened, and the person on it was sent flying backward, crashing into the barrier. There was no scream, because he had already passed out.

"Mu Bai!!"

"careful!!"

"Water mage, prepare to defend!!!"

Mu Bai appeared in the center of the arena. He somehow managed to dodge the explosion, and he was only slightly disheveled, not as charred as one might expect.

Mu Bai wasn't standing here to pose. He had already unleashed his ice magic. While his water magic hadn't protected against most of the damage, it definitely didn't include ice magic.

When the water shield comes into contact with the ice vines, it begins to freeze. The hair strands, which are protected by the water, are not frozen into ice sculptures in time because they are connected to the water shield.

Under the sunlight, the ice sculptures reflected the light, appearing particularly dazzling.

Mu Bai's attack was not over yet. The reason he risked being injured by the explosion and stayed in place was to reassure the others so that he could scatter the plant seeds.

It's impossible for Mu Bai to withstand 150 people head-on. He has a clear understanding of his own strength. Even if all 150 people were rank-1 mages, it would be difficult for him to defeat them. Moreover, there are definitely mid-rank mages among the freshmen of the Ancient Capital Academy.

The lightning mage wanted to release his lightning seal, but Mu Bai wouldn't let him have his way. Several plant seeds had already been buried around him during the explosion.

With a thought from Mu Bai, the seeds underground began to grow wildly, and in the blink of an eye, they bound the lightning mage tightly.

After eliminating the two more aggressive mages, the rest were easily dealt with, and they were all taken down in no time.

Soon, only Mu Bai remained on the stage. He tilted his head slightly, looked at the many students on stage, and said, "Is everyone gone?"

Is nobody here?

Is nobody here?

"Damn, what are you pretending for? You're just a mid-level mage. I'd like to see what's so great about you."

"Heh, just a mid-level ice-type. That Ice Lock might not even be as powerful as my Thunder Seal: Wrathful Strike. The Ancient Capital Academy is full of hidden talents. It's time to let this country bumpkin see the oppressive aura of a local genius from the Ancient Capital." Someone said coldly, walking down from the stage.

Mu Bai's words provoked public outrage, and more than twenty people immediately rushed down to protest.

Most people wore expressions of emotion, while only a small number of them looked at Mu Bai with cold indifference.

Twenty people at once. The teachers below the stage felt that the number was a bit too many. They looked up at the leaders above, but the leaders did not say anything and tacitly approved of the actions of these twenty-odd people.

While speaking, Mu Bai was not idle. He subtly tossed out some plant seeds as preparation, and his Ice Vine was ready to be launched at any time, aiming to take down one or two of them first.

"This student is quite good. He's not arrogant just because he's a mid-level mage. He's still arranging plant seeds." A leader on the platform couldn't help but nod in approval.

"I don't think so. His words are a bit extreme. He should have just spoken normally. This way, it's easy to attract some powerful students who were unwilling to come up. There are quite a few mid-level mages in this year's class. These two will still lose."

"They're definitely going to lose. Nobody expected them to take down three hundred students. Even if all of them were beginner mages, they could overwhelm them with sheer numbers."

In the stands, many teachers expressed their opinions, all believing that Su Ming and Mu Bai were destined to lose.

Normally they would lose anyway, it just depends on how many trainees they can take down before they lose.

"I heard you're strong? How about we exchange a few blows?" A man with a lip piercing stepped forward, his right hand clenching into a fist in the air. Violent lightning crackled and danced in his hand, like an electric python ready to be unleashed at any moment.

Like the man, the others also stood up, ready to unleash their magic at any moment.

Although they were furious, they knew clearly that Mu Bai was no ordinary person; his title as a mid-level mage was enough to make them take him seriously.

About twenty people were eyeing Mu Bai intently, but there were always a few exceptions. Some people saw how many people there were and felt that the situation was under control, so they quietly withdrew.

Another one was so timid that he didn't even go on stage. In his opinion, it was too humiliating for twenty people to gang up on one person. Even if he won, what difference would it make if he still lost face?

If you're going to fight, fight one-on-one. Only winning fair and square counts as real skill.

He didn't look at Mu Bai, thinking Mu Bai would lose to these twenty people. He was looking at Su Ming, who would take the stage after Mu Bai lost.

That will be his chance to shine. He's the only summoning student this year. Only by defeating someone like that can he increase his reputation within the academy and get that person's attention.

Mu Bai felt he might not be able to beat twenty of them, but that was still far from one hundred and fifty.

Seeing that Mu Bai didn't reply, clearly looking down on them, they realized that they were all top students, top students from the ancient capital's academy, and genius magicians from all over the country. They had their own pride, and how could they tolerate being looked down upon like this?

"Thunder Seal - Wrathful Strike!"

"Fire Scorches, Bones Burn!"

"Sizzle & Burst!"

"Thunder Seal - Mad Strategy!"

"Ice Vines - Freeze!"

Thunder, fire, and ice—a barrage of magic was unleashed, covering the sky and earth. Among them, the Thunder Seal: Wrathful Strike was the most powerful, with arcs of electricity even flowing outside the barrier. The Thunder Seal flashed, bursting forth with a burst of intense white light, causing Mu Bai to squint.

"Sigh." Mu Bai sighed. He hadn't wanted to come so early, but these people seemed to be acting strangely. Even though they hadn't said anything, they insisted that he was humiliating them.

Paranoia?

The training ground was covered by magic from all elements. The thunder's rage prevented any sound from escaping, but a sound overpowered the raging thunder and clearly reached the ears of the people outside the arena.

Someone exclaimed in surprise, "What is this?!"

"That's right, there's no mistake in this voice." A teacher slowly spoke, but before he could finish, everyone saw two huge cracks suddenly appear on the arena stage, and people who fell into them would disappear on their own.

A short while after the crack appeared, several dark figures shot into the sky, their chilling aura weakening the magic of several fire mages.

It wasn't until the shadow rose into the sky that everyone could see clearly what it was.

Chains, chains of ice, each as thick as a man's thigh, with many sharp spikes on their surface, seemingly designed to bind large creatures and bleed them.

The color of the ice lock is very different from that of the ice vine. If the ice vine is the color of snow, then the ice lock is a large amount of sky blue, and it looks much harder.

The ice locks danced wildly in the air. There was no need to intercept the magic; neither the violent lightning nor the scorching fire could withstand the aura emanating from the ice locks.

The mere aura emanating from it was enough to render these spells half-useless.

What's the difference between a mage and an ordinary person if they lose their magic?

There is no difference.

The ice chains bound all the challengers on the platform, and the ice spikes pierced their bodies, causing their body temperature to plummet and their entire bodies to freeze over.

"Oh no!" the teacher below the stage exclaimed. If this continued, all these students would die in a few seconds. Martial arts are martial arts, but people are absolutely not allowed to die.

Just as he was about to rush up to save the person, the ice lock on the platform suddenly melted, as if it had been released in anger.

He knew that Mu Bai had come into contact with magic, and he didn't want to harm the lives of the other students.

One spell took out about twenty people, including several level three lightning mages. They were all taken out just like that.

The students on the stage looked at each other in disbelief. This was intermediate-level magic?

"Intermediate-level ice magic - Ice Lock".

"Wow!! Mu Bai, you're so handsome!"

"Mu Bai! You're so amazing! I love you so much!!!"

Hearing the female students' screams and cheers, the men looked as if they had eaten shit.

"Isn't there anyone who can handle Mu Bai? Are we really going to let him steal the spotlight and then get all the resources in the system?!"

"Look, someone went up there."

"Is this the person who was hiding down there just now? He looks familiar, I think his name is something like Pumpkin."

"What pumpkin? It's called Nan Gua. Don't talk nonsense if you don't know, or he might cause you trouble."
