Chapter 110 Anonymous Commission
People left one after another. Originally, there were nearly 50,000 people who came to this school meeting, but after eliminating those who had not reached the middle level, there were only about 1,000 people left.
One thousand mid-level magicians is a terrifying number.
You know, in many small places, a mid-level magician is enough to play an important role in many positions.
However, in the Magic City, in the Pearl Academy, the intermediate level is just the beginning.
"To those who stayed, congratulations on entering the main campus of Pearl Academy." At this moment, Dean Xiao's tone changed and he returned to the appearance of the kind old professor at the freshman assembly.
"No way, just entered like this, didn't you say you have to take an assessment??"
"Yeah, why not take the test?!"
"Shouldn't we test it? What if some beginners stay and try to take advantage of the situation?"
"If there is no assessment, how can we determine the top 10? I heard that the top students in previous years received generous rewards."
"Yes, it is said that the first place winner of the last session can enter the Three-Step Tower, the second and third place winners can get a magic weapon, and the fourth to tenth place winners will also receive some rewards. I came here just for these rewards!!!"
When Dean Xiao said this, everyone was confused and someone immediately raised an objection.
And he seemed to know that such discussions would arise, so he waited until everyone had finished discussing it, then slowly took out a rolled-up instruction from his arms.
"We received news a few days ago that the government army's tamed shadow beasts had problems with management, and a half-tamed shadow beast escaped and is currently hiding in a corner of the city.
Shadow monsters have some abilities of the shadow system and can hide well at night and travel between cities without being discovered.
This shadow monster has been specially trained. It will not actively attack or kill humans. Now it is like a stray cat somewhere in the Magic City.
Our school was originally assisting the military and notified them immediately if we found any traces of the Shadow Beasts. Now I need you to capture these Shadow Beasts alive and return them to the military."
"Your ranking for the assessment to enter the main campus will be judged based on your performance in this mission."
After Dean Xiao announced this task, more than a thousand people started discussing it again.
They originally thought that this main campus assessment would be a competition between students, but it turned out to be a military mission!
"By the way, I would like to remind you that although the shadow beast will not actively harm people and has no intention to kill, its temperament will change drastically when it is attacked or persecuted. Its degree of danger is second only to that of demons."
"So when you find the shadow monster and plan to take it down, please plan carefully."
"The student or team who captures and delivers the summoned beast to the school cage will be rewarded!"
"If an individual completes the task, he or she will receive all the awards. If a team completes the task, all members of the team will receive the same awards."
"Each team can have a maximum of five people, and the reward is a chance to enter the Three-Step Tower for training!!!" said Dean Xiao.
"Three-step tower!!!"
“Oh my god, it’s a three-step tower!!!”
As soon as Dean Xiao spoke, more than a thousand students almost went crazy.
Even the students on the main campus are vying for the Three-Step Tower. This time, Dean Xiao actually gave out a total of 5 places! ! !
Although he had known about this situation for a long time, Wang Yu was still a little excited.
After all, compared to other people who could only know about the magical effects of the Three-Step Tower from rumors, he had personally entered the Three-Step Tower to practice, and he knew very well how terrifyingly the Three-Step Tower could speed up a magician's practice.
Every day after walking out of the Three-Step Pagoda, Wang Yu thought about entering the Three-Step Pagoda again.
Now that his mental strength has improved further, perhaps he can try to move towards areas above the third level.
Although he didn't know the specific effects above the third level, just thinking about it with his toes, it was definitely far better than the lower levels.
"Maybe this time, I can raise all the departments to the intermediate level 2, or concentrate on cultivating one department to the intermediate level." Wang Yu looked forward to it. After the intermediate level is fully cultivated, it will be the realm of the advanced level.
As everyone was discussing, a student standing at the front of the podium asked excitedly, "Dean, don't you have any clues or hints?"
Dean Xiao shook his head and said, "No, you have to find it yourself. This is also part of the assessment."
After hearing this, everyone began to disperse, excited and excited. However, this clueless task immediately stumped the more than a thousand students who were undergoing the assessment from the beginning.
The magic city is huge when combined with the suburbs. There are tens of thousands of alleys and streets. Now they can't even determine which city the shadow monster is in. Looking for a tame beast with the hidden ability of the shadow system in this vast metropolis is really difficult. Just look for a needle in a haystack! !
"How about it, everyone? Are you excited???"
“Of course!!!” Zhao Manyan said eagerly. He had heard Wang Yu talk about the magic of the Three-Step Pagoda a long time ago, and this time he must go in and experience it himself.
"Hey, Jiaojiao, Lao Zhao and Lao Mo, let's join forces."
"Yeah," Mu Nujiao also nodded. Getting a place to enter the Three-Step Tower was her main purpose of taking this assessment.
"What about me? What about me? Don't forget me!!!"
Seeing that Wang Yu didn't call him, Ai Tutu on the side suddenly became anxious.
Wang Yu pretended to be surprised and said, "I actually forgot about you. Tutu, be good and go home first. Jiaojiao and I will go home after we make a plan."
"Ahhhh!!! What do you mean, Big Devil?!"
"You look down on me, don't you?! I'm also a mid-level mage!!!"
Ai Tutu's eyes widened, her mouth pouted, and she rushed over and punched Wang Yu.
"Hahaha, stop making trouble, stop making trouble. How could I forget about our Miss Ai?"
Wang Yu laughed and stopped teasing Ai Tutu. He said confidently:
"There are five of us, so let's take all five Three-Step Tower spots together!!!"
"What about you, Lao Mo?" Wang Yu asked the only person who didn't answer him.
For some reason, his expression seemed a little strange since a while ago, even though he usually had a quirky personality.
"My old man, come with me."
"What's wrong, Lao Mo?" Zhao Manyan asked in confusion.
"It has nothing to do with you." Mo Fan shook his head. "Let's go, Lao Wang."
“??? Great!!! You two are hiding something from me, right!!!” Zhao Manyan looked extremely hurt, as if he had been betrayed by his brothers.
However, Mo Fan obviously didn't have time to pay attention to him. Wang Yu didn't say much when he saw his serious expression. He silently followed him to an empty corner.
"What's wrong???" Wang Yu asked.
"Take a look for yourself. Lingling sent it to me. It's a somewhat special request."
"Special commission?" Wang Yu took Mo Fan's phone and soon realized why he looked like that.
The content of the commission is very simple, just a few lines:
[Due to special reasons, I am currently entangled in some special circumstances and can only send people to your Qingtian Hunting House. I hope you can send experienced hunters to help me protect the safety of the two of us.
I believe in the credibility of your Qingtian Hunting House, so I will transfer the money to your account first.】
The commission was ordinary, just an anonymous commission to protect the client. The special thing was that Wang Yu and Mo Fan looked at each other. The protected persons were the two of them.
A hunter received a commission to protect himself, which might be misunderstood as a prank.
"The money has been deposited into the card. There are definitely not many people who can spend such a large sum of money to protect us. I basically guess that it is someone from Bo City."
"Instructor Zhankong. Or. Teacher Tangyue???"
“No matter who it is, they all point to one thing: we are not safe now.” Mo Fan said with a gloomy look.
“You mean to say that this time those bastards from the Black Church not only targeted you, but also me?” Wang Yu frowned.
"Um"
"Oh interesting, they actually dare to come!!!"
"Don't be afraid, since they are here, no one can leave!!" Wang Yu showed a cruel smile on his face.
".Why do I feel like you are the villain? No matter what, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, we can't let our guard down."
“I seriously suspect that they are planning to use this main campus competition to attack us, so... are you sure you want to involve Sister Zhao and the others???” Mo Fan expressed his doubts.
The Black Vatican might not dare to make any big moves within the school, but once outside the school, anything could happen.
"Hmm" Upon hearing this, Wang Yu fell into deep thought.
After a long while, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his head and said, "I will not let the Black Church hurt anyone!"
“Okay then.” Mo Fan didn’t persuade him any further. He patted Wang Yu on the shoulder, took a deep breath and returned to the team.
Wang Yu waved his hand nonchalantly and followed.
He now has a lot of cards in his hand. Unless the Black Church does not abide by the moral code of war, there is really nothing to be afraid of.
"Hey, hey, hey! What on earth are you two grown men plotting? How can we cooperate sincerely if you're being sneaky like this?"
Seeing them coming back, Ai Tutu put his hands on his waist and said with dissatisfaction.
“Nothing.” Mo Fan still shook his head.
"You?!! Wang Yu, you say it! Otherwise, forget about sleeping in the same room with Jiaojiao in the future." Ai Tutu raised her pink fist and threatened.
"Oh~~~Is this what I can listen to???"
When Ai Tutu said this, both Zhao Manyan, who had a resentful expression on his face, and Mo Fan, who had a complicated mood, brightened up and pricked up their ears.
"TuTu!!!" Mu Nujiao's face turned red with shame, and she went over to cover Ai TuTu's uncovered mouth.
"Pfft~~~"
Seeing such an interesting scene, Wang Yu laughed heartily.
"Wang!!! Yu!!!"
It was not until Mu Nu warned him word by word with gritted teeth and a shy face that Wang Yu controlled himself and suppressed his smile.
"Ahem. It's nothing. You will know when the time comes. Let's think about finding the shadow monster first."
Wang Yu coughed lightly and changed the subject.
The affairs of the Black Church were not suitable to be brought to the public eye for the time being. On the one hand, they were afraid that the news would leak out and cause adverse effects. On the other hand, even the children of aristocratic families like Zhao Manyan and Mu Nujiao would be very cautious about such dirty things.
He just thought that it would be better to deal with these bastards in secret. There is no need to make everyone feel insecure.
"Shadow monster, shadow monster, if only Lingling was here, she'd be a master at tracking, she can even find parasitic creatures in human skin, this kind of shadow monster is a piece of cake for her!" Mo Fan muttered to himself, unintentionally cooperating with Wang Yu.
"How about we contact her?" Wang Yu scratched his head.
Although he and Mo Fan are now official hunters, the preparations before an operation like this are usually done by Lingling. The two rough guys are now at a loss and don't know where to start.
"No, Lingling has been borrowed by my senior brother on a business trip, and she has no time to deal with us now."
"Then we can only rely on ourselves. Let's first look up the information of the Shadow Beast on the Internet to see if it has any special habits."
"Eh??? Wait a minute. I remember Dean Xiao said that this shadow monster was domesticated by the military, right?"
"Yeah." Everyone agreed when they heard what he said, not knowing why he asked this.
"That's easy. It's better to ask a professional for this kind of thing."
"That makes sense. I'll give Commander Cheng a call." Wang Yu suddenly realized it, nodded, and was about to take out his phone, but was stopped by Mo Fan:
"Stop, stop, stop. Don't bother General Cheng with this matter. Don't we still have monkeys?"
"Oh, right~" Wang Yu slapped his forehead, "I actually forgot about this guy. It's been a while since we last contacted each other. I don't know how he's doing now."
“.I’m not saying anything, but I have connections in the military too. That’s so cool!!!” Zhao Manyan, who was just watching the show on the side, twitched his ears slightly and said in surprise. He began to re-examine the two people, especially Wang Yu.
Wow, he can call the military commander as soon as he wants, his connections are quite impressive, who is the descendant of aristocratic family???
Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu also looked at the two people who were talking with curiosity. They didn't seem to realize how enviable it was to know someone in the military.
Mo Fan did what he said and immediately called his best friend Zhang Xiaohou. It took a long time for the call to be connected.
"Hey monkey, you are in the military now, right???"
"Brother Fan!!!" Zhang Xiaohou's surprised voice came from the other side.
"I missed you!!!"
"Hahaha, did you miss me???" Wang Yu leaned over and asked loudly.
"Brother Yu is here too?!!! I want everything!!!"
"Hey, let me tell you, I'm awesome now."
When Zhang Xiaohou heard that it was them calling, the seriousness and uprightness he had built up with great difficulty in the army disappeared instantly. He suddenly turned into a child showing off his academic performance and talked a lot.
After separating in Bo City, the three of them took completely different paths, but this did not affect their relationship.
"Brother Fan, Brother Yu, is there something you suddenly want to talk to me about?" Zhang Xiaohou asked.
"Well, we want to learn about a domesticated beast of the military - the shadow beast." Wang Yu said.
