Chapter 4 Trainee Judges
He obtained twelve slave-level remnants but none spirit essences. This harvest was already a great success for a beginner-level mage like Mo Fan. If it weren't for the necromancy system, Mo Fan wouldn't have achieved this level of income.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once your cultivation level improves, making some money will be a piece of cake, right?
During the holiday battle, Mo Fan's necromancy and lightning magic power increased faster than when he was only meditating, but he still hadn't reached the second level of the initial stage. Sure enough, the difference in cultivation speed between those with resources and those without is huge.
School started, and Tianlan Magic High School was once again packed with boys and girls. It was the same familiar classroom, the same familiar back row, and Mu Bai's few talkative lackeys.
The teachers have changed. The teacher who was originally in charge of practical classes is sick and resting at home, just like the physical education teacher who is prone to illness.
A mature and charming voice brought a different feeling to the students in the class; the old man had been replaced by a mature and stunning female teacher.
"Our new practical course teacher is Tang Yue!"
After a brief introduction, the theoretical teaching of the magic practice class began. It was clear that Tang Yue had a solid theoretical foundation, far surpassing Mo Fan, who was only a half-baked practitioner.
After listening to a morning of theoretical lectures, Mo Fan was already half asleep. No matter where he was, this kind of boring theoretical knowledge was the most hypnotic, and he couldn't escape it even in a different world.
In the afternoon, Tang Yue led all the students of Class 8 to the training ground to demonstrate basic fire magic. None of the 48 students in Class 8 were able to cast a spell. Mo Fan had completely mastered the fire element during this holiday.
Although magical energy hasn't increased much, there's no problem allocating some time to fire magic. Necromantic and lightning magic are mainly for increasing magical energy now, and once you master the basic spells, you'll get used to them quickly.
Mo Fan's few trips during the holidays didn't yield much, but casting spells against demons is different from hitting wooden targets. Mo Fan's current ability to cast spells steadily in front of demons is very important in terms of practical experience.
Tang Yue's graceful figure aroused the desires of many young men, but with the appearance of the fire-type star track, everyone's attention returned to the fire in Tang Yue's hand.
As Tang Yue explained, she connected the star track in one smooth motion. A ball of crimson flame appeared out of thin air in her hand, which she then flung out, accurately hitting the puppet not far away. In a very short time, the puppet was engulfed by the crimson flame.
This exciting scene immediately made the students look at Tang Yue with new respect. "By the way, how many fire-type students are there in your class? Step forward, I'll take a look!"
"Teacher Tang Yue, I am a fire element student, and my name is Mo Fan!" Although Mo Fan is usually low-key, he was standing at the front at this moment, with five fire element stars on his chest lit up.
"You've already mastered five stars, Mo Fan, that's great!" Tang Yue encouraged him with a smile.
"Lucky me!" Mo Fan grinned foolishly, looking every bit the silly young man, pretending not to hear the faint jeers behind him.
Then three more fire-type students stepped forward. "Anyone among you who has mastered five star points can come to me, and I'll give you private guidance," Tang Yue said as class was about to end.
At dusk, Mo Fan arrived at Tang Yue's office. "Mo Fan, what brings you here?" Tang Yue asked with a smile as she sat down opposite Mo Fan.
"Teacher Tang Yue, actually I have already mastered seven stars," Mo Fan said slowly, sounding somewhat guilty.
"Then what about before...?"
"I have offended the Mu clan, the local tyrant of Bo City, so I naturally cannot stand out too much," Mo Fan briefly explained his past bravery.
"Is that so? Your thinking is a bit skewed at such a young age!" Tang Yue said with a smile.
"So you came to see me because you're not afraid I have connections with the Mu family?"
"I'm scared, but magic needs to be taught!" Mo Fan said helplessly.
"Yes, no one can teach you how to take many detours, but you can rest assured that I have no connection with the Mu family."
"That's good."
……
From then on, Mo Fan would often go to Tang Yue's place, and the teacher-student relationship between the two quickly grew closer. During an unintentional conversation, Mo Fan asked about the issue of awakening two systems at once.
Tang Yue immediately became alert. After some probing, she discovered that Mo Fan's innate dual-elemental talent had been exposed. Of course, Mo Fan had deliberately revealed it. In Tang Yue's view, it would be too easy to get information out of a student like Mo Fan who had no social experience.
Mo Fan wasn't particularly good at conversation skills; that required a lot of experience. However, knowing Tang Yue's background was enough for him.
As expected, Tang Yue, a student with two natural abilities, would not let Mo Fan go. She immediately tried to coax and trick him into joining the trial committee. Mo Fan took the opportunity to become a glorious intern judge.
There are many trainee judges in the trial committee. After passing the assessment, they can become formal members of the trial committee by taking an oath under the oath tree. Trainee judges are considered peripheral members of the trial committee and do not receive a salary.
However, the peripheral members are also members of the Tribunal. Wild geniuses like Mo Fan can receive resource supplies, but Mo Fan did not accept them because such resources are easy to obtain but too restrictive.
Mo Fan chose to seek resources from Tang Yue personally. He knew that Tang Yue's backing was a local power in Qiantang and one of the major factions in the Trial Council. This was also a pledge of allegiance, as Mo Fan's label was that of the Tang family faction of the Lingyin Trial Council.
To be precise, it is Tang Yue's branch within the Tang family that has the fewest restrictions, and as long as you are strong enough, the restrictions will only exist in name.
Mo Fan didn't borrow many resources, just the essence of a warrior-level being. Tang Yue naturally had no objection to Mo Fan's actions; with Mo Fan's potential, her investment would definitely not be a loss.
A single warrior-level spirit costs around 20 to 30 million, but Mo Fan only needs one ordinary warrior-level spirit so that the little mudfish can directly evolve into a spirit-level stardust artifact.
Knowing that Tang Yue meant no harm, Mo Fan also showed the little mudskipper. Tang Yue simply introduced Mo Fan to the relevant knowledge about growth-type stardust magic artifacts.
Soon, the warrior-level spirit that Mo Fan wanted was delivered. These twenty or thirty million were a huge sum for Mo Fan now, but for Tang Yue, it was just a drop in the ocean.
Mo Fan stopped living at school. After all, Little Mudfish couldn't be exposed in public. He didn't have much money, but it was more than enough to rent a house.
In a small room, the little loach under Mo Fan's neck shone with a different kind of brilliance, transforming from a small loach that was originally similar to an ordinary tourist souvenir into something much more exquisite.
His cultivation speed has greatly improved. What used to be a rural dirt road is now like being on a highway. Before long, the Necromancer broke through to the second level of the initial stage.
On the eve of the annual assessment, Mo Fan's lightning element had broken through to the second level of the initial stage, and his fire element was not far from the second level of the initial stage. Because he had put a lot of energy into the Undead Link, Mo Fan's cultivation speed as seen in the outside world was still within the range of normal geniuses.
