Full-Time Magister: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 3 Jiang Shaoxu

Su Ming didn't have a precise concept of magic, but most of them aimed to become intermediate-level mages, and he only needed to cultivate diligently to become one.

Even without a concept, they know they're awesome.

When I get back, I'll tell my dad this good news and make him happy.

The awakening process continues, and next up are the other students. Some who awakened the water element are crying and begging for mercy, while others who awakened the light element are lining up on the rooftop.

There are weak elements and strong elements. There are five students with the fire element, which is a very large proportion in each class. Add to that the space element student, and Lin Tian's mouth is practically crooked with a grin.

Liu Qi awakened the fire element, and Su Ming was genuinely happy for him.

Nothing much happened on the first day after his awakening. Su Ming's main problem now is to understand the concept of magic.

After declining Liu Qi's invitation to a gathering, Su Ming spent his time alone in the school library researching information.

This investigation lasted for three months. Apart from cultivating for four hours every day, Su Ming continued to study magic knowledge after reaching the point of cultivation fatigue.

I can keep up with others and avoid being labeled as ignorant of the law.

"Hoo..." Su Ming exhaled a breath of stale air. Four hours of cultivation time a day was too short and simply not enough.

To unleash magic, one must control the stars at will and connect them into star trails.

These stars are incredibly stubborn, and controlling them is no less difficult than taming a wild horse.

I only have four hours of practice time each day. Any more than that and I'll feel tired and my mind won't be able to handle it.

Others only have one system, so they only need to focus on training seven stars.

Su Ming is different. He has two systems and needs to train fourteen stars. The key is that the training time for all of them is the same, which is a bit difficult.

Su Ming has already discovered that the other system is the Summoning system, a very special system. It doesn't rely on the mage himself to fight, but summons other creatures to fight, which is equivalent to using beasts to fight.

The Summoning system is very strong, that's a well-known fact. Su Ming spent most of his time on Summoning Stars, and even so, he only managed to control five Stars in three months.

Compared to his classmates, this was already an excellent achievement, possibly the best in the entire school, but Su Ming was not satisfied with it.

He has two cultivation systems, so this cultivation speed is too slow.

"It's a pity there's no soul-repairing vessel." Su Ming shook his head.

A Soul Cultivation Vessel is a tool that assists in cultivation, increasing the time and speed of cultivation, depending on the level of the Soul Cultivation Vessel.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, and before he knew it, it was dawn. Despite not having slept all night, Su Ming did not feel tired; meditation was simply a secondary alternative to sleep.

Meditation is a form of rest, but it's only a secondary alternative. Doing it occasionally is fine, but it's not good for long-term use.

Su Ming took the books he had picked up from the library and went to the classroom.

The students in class have all changed a lot in terms of spirit and energy. Perhaps it is because they have become prospective magicians, but they all look full of energy.

However, there are always exceptions. They cannot control their stars, and their constant anxiety and internal strife make them appear listless and lifeless.

……

Class started promptly at eight o'clock. This class was about demons. In addition to teaching magical knowledge such as controlling stars, the teacher also talked about demons.

Demons are the enemies of mankind, and they are superior to humans. They are numerous and large in scale, and most of them have no intelligence, only the instinct to kill.

That's what the books say. Some say that human mages are much more powerful than demons, while others say that demons are superior to humans.

However, most of the comments still say that humans are stronger.

The specifics will only be known when they actually see the demons; Su Ming has yet to see a single demon.

"Alright, everyone open your spellbooks. Today we're going to talk about the most common demon race near Zhou City, the Dark Night Lion Dog. Demons are extremely aggressive towards humans, especially human magicians, who see them as mortal enemies..." The teacher on the stage spoke with great enthusiasm.

The students in the audience were drowsy and most of them didn't pay attention to what the teacher was saying, lost in their own worlds.

In their view, reading some extracurricular books is more useful than this.

Because they had never seen demons, they could not comprehend their terror.

Su Ming tried to control the star, but failed on the sixth one.

Controlling stars requires mana. The stardust in a mage's mental world is mana. Once it's used up, you can no longer control stars, and casting spells also requires mana.

And this energy will slowly recover after it is used up.

The fastest way is to sleep.

"Boss, what have you been doing these past few months? We haven't seen anyone, and you haven't controlled a single star. Old Lin is going crazy and wants to tear you to pieces." Liu Qi leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"Spatial systems and elemental systems are different, and their cultivation methods are also different."

Su Ming gave the same old answer: in reality, he had never controlled any of the space-system stars.

Everyone says that summoning is awesome, so naturally he should focus on the awesome one; he doesn't have that much time to manage both.

"Oh, boss, let me tell you something. I hadn't really paid attention to it... but the way the other classmates are looking at you is a bit strange. I can even hear them openly mocking you when we're walking down the street."

Su Ming chuckled. This was quite normal. Since the start of the semester, he had been seen as a useless person who couldn't control even a single star. The teachers were already ready to give up on him. It was good enough that they could mock him to his face.

In the past, students who didn't do well in school were ridiculed, and some people would even bully students with poor grades. Not to mention, this is a magical world.

An individual's power is above all else; those who are weak have no say. Su Ming was too lazy to explain to these people. Although he was quite arrogant when he was young and always wanted to fight with others, he was actually quite easygoing.

They'll know how powerful he is when he summons an invincible Greymon.

Just thinking about it is exciting! Invincible Greymon, just the name sounds awesome!

Time flies, and get out of class ended in the blink of an eye.

Su Ming sat in his seat as usual, surrounded by whispers. To outsiders, he seemed to be the most diligent student every day. But he hadn't mastered a single star, which put him on par with the good-for-nothings.

"Look at Su Ming, even after using so much, he can't control a single star. I feel a little sorry for him."

"Sympathy my ass, I just feel it's a pity. If I were in the space system, I would control at least four times as many planets now."

How many do you have now?

The student scratched his head shyly, revealing a single finger.

The answer is clear enough without needing to answer.

This guy controls a star.

This is getting annoying. Should we beat these people up?

Since no one can use magic now, Su Ming is confident that he can completely outclass any of his peers in terms of physical fitness. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the neighborhood bully and the king of the kids in his childhood.

Once they can all cast spells and have their own summoned beasts, they won't be able to defeat them.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was a good idea, so Su Ming slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

Get ready to take action.

"Damn it! Jiang the Fox!"

The people around suddenly whispered.

?

Jiang Fox? There is only one person called Jiang Fox, an awakened being of the Mind type, the school beauty of Anran Magic Academy, a favored daughter of heaven, and said to be a young lady from a prominent family, who has already controlled five stars.

And this person was Su Ming's ex-girlfriend.

Jiang Shaoxu, it's been a long time since I've seen her. Ever since Su Ming awakened his magic, he's been immersed in his own world, either cultivating or going to the library to research. He's had less contact with Liu Qi, let alone Jiang Shaoxu.

They broke up amicably, but both Su Ming and Jiang Shaoxu deliberately avoided each other.

Jiang Shaoxu was wearing her school uniform, which was stretched taut. It was hard to tell how this little girl had developed; she was naturally bigger than others.

Even when wearing a school uniform, she exudes a charming aura, and even without making any moves, she can spark the imagination.

This is why he is called Jiang the Fox.

Daji was a fox spirit, which caused King Zhou to stop attending morning court sessions.

Jiang Shaoxu knew that many people called her "Jiang the Fox" behind her back, but she didn't care. People can't just sew their mouths shut.

Even if we wanted to sew it, we wouldn't have the ability to do so.

Jiang Shaoxu stood at the door, looking at her ex-boyfriend. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly said, "Su Ming, come here for a second."

Want to revive the flames?

Su Ming could only think of this possibility. They hadn't been in contact for half a year, and Su Ming couldn't think of any other possibility besides Jiang Shaoxu wanting to get back together.

It has to be said that his thinking jumps around very quickly. It's not impossible for Jiang Shaoxu to want to get back together. It seems like we can give her a chance.

Su Ming thought to himself as he followed Jiang Shaoxu to the school's rooftop.

The classroom became noisy as soon as I stepped out.
