Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage - Chapter 28: Training Camp

Sometime later, the teacher came into the room in a good mood, he had good news to give students. The news was good for him, not for the students.

“Good morning, I have some news for you. In a month, we will have our first training camp. “The teacher came into the room and talk about the news, he was glad it happened.

“But so early this year ?? !!”

“Why did this happen??!!!”

“Teacher, does the school have any plans in mind to do this kind of thing?”

…

Everyone was surprised to hear this news, no one imagined that something like this would happen.

“I know everyone is surprised by this news, I ask everyone to calm down and listen to what I have to say.” Zeng Wu waited for all the students to calm down before he spoke again.

“Yesterday, we received an interesting proposal from North College, they want a little dispute between the two schools before the school competition begins. Its goal is to try to pick their best students before the competition begins.

The principal understood what they wanted to do and decided to do the same thing, as four months from now, the qualifications will be made to decide which students will represent the school in the competition. Because of this, the director decided to advance the training trip.

The best students will be nominated for the team in the North College contest and will also have a chance to have their place guaranteed in the main team. But that will depend on your performance during the training camp. “Zeng Wu said cheerfully, he was looking forward to seeing the performance of his class’s students at the training camp.

The students were excited after hearing Zeng Wu’s words, having the chance to represent the school in a competition was their biggest dream, but it was a pity that not everyone could be the representative, only the best had the right to have the vacancy.

Nevertheless, the students in class F wanted to believe in this small chance, however small, they want to dream about this vacancy.

“Because of this training camp, our schedule has changed, our lectures will be in the morning and the afternoon the classes will be practical. You can participate if you want, what will be taught in the practical classes will be a little bit of every subject like control, power, and speed. Also, the six classes of each year will be together in each of the gyms, that is, the six classes of the first year, six classes of the second and six classes of the third.

As today was the day of the announcement, you can go straight to the gym in ten minutes, some teachers will talk about some more in-depth subjects about practical and theoretical classes. And that’s just for today, tomorrow we’ll have a more in-depth class on some subjects. “Zeng Wu finished breaking the news about what will happen in the coming days and left the room, he had other matters to deal with.

The class got into a commotion after Zeng Wu left the room, many students were excited as they would have a chance to join the team that will represent the school in the magic competition.

While many were happy, others were discouraged because they knew they would have no chance against the students in class A because they were considered the best.

On the other hand, some students were not happy with the possibility of representing the school, they were focused on something else, the training camp, these students were more interested in increasing their powers than representing the school, and among these students was Liu Yang

“Darling, did you get the news too?” Liu Xia was asking by email.

“Yes. Honey, will you go to the practical classes or will we go to the library again? “Liu Yang had no interest in attending the practical classes, he wanted to go, but because of the large number of students together, many spoiled young masters will try to cause some kind of problem for him. That was why Liu Yang didn’t feel like going to practical classes.

“Darling, I think we’d better go to the library and read the books we didn’t finish reading yesterday,” Liu Xia replied shortly thereafter.

“Alright, I’ll be waiting for you in the library soon, I’m already going there” Liu Yang finished sending the message, but before he could turn off the computer, a system sound is heard and a new message appeared. Looking at the sender, Liu Yang saw that it was from Meng Xiuying.

“Good morning… I apologize for the inconvenience, but… I have a little doubt about this part of the book: Meditate on the position that is best for you to focus on. I’ve always meditated cross-legged, but that phrase seems to have a much deeper meaning. “Meng Xiuying explained in the message the part that she had doubt. She didn’t know what it meant to meditate in the best way to focus.

“Just imagine which position you are most comfortable with, after meditating on that position” Liu Yang answered only those words, they were easy to understand but difficult to do. After that, he got up and left.

Meng Xiuying saw Liu Yang leaving, she felt a little loss because of it, but when she saw his message, she was happy. Reading the content, Meng Xiuying wondered, as she didn’t know how that would help her in her training. But since it was Liu Yang who spoke those words, Meng Xiuying will trust him and test.

…

The month passed slowly, each student in every class doing their best to be stronger and improve their basic skills as a mage.

Liu Yang and Liu Xia were different, they read books at school, and at home, they did activities in bed because of the meditation technique. This technique was something Liu Xia finde several years ago when she was still a child in her previous world.

Xiao Mei focused only on her element control training, whenever she had questions, she would ask Liu Yang or Liu Xia.

Meng Xiuying also focused only on her control training, but she could only ask Liu Yang for help during class in the morning, as it was the only time he used the computer to access his emails at school. He wasn’t like Liu Xia who always read emails on her cell phone. Although he has the school email on his cell phone, Liu Yang just didn’t like reading his emails on his cell phone.

…

A month passed quickly, and the day of the training camp arrived.

Students were already eager to venture into the jungle and fight wild animals and strange creatures.

Those who were interested in going to camp had to go to the auditorium and wait for the instructors. The auditorium was already full, ninety percent of the students decided to attend the camp as it was a good opportunity to get stronger.

The ten percent who chose not to go as part of the influential clans, they were arrogant and were sure they would get a seat on the school’s main team without having to go camping or fight the Northern School. But there were also many students from influential clans going to the training camp, but their purpose was another.

Tong… Tong…

The bells rang for a moment before the auditorium fell silent, the students understanding that the teachers would begin the speech before the trip.

“Hello, nice to meet you all. My name is Song Yuan, I am the director of the East School, it is a pleasure to meet you all, I apologize for being the first time I appear to say anything about.

I’ll get to the point, everyone here must have some goal to go to the training camp. I don’t want to discourage anyone, but I need to warn you that on a battlefield is different from the training that is done inside the school, you need to remember that.

Many students get injured every year during camp, this is a normal thing, so don’t worry if someone gets hurt or something.

This year’s camp will be a little different from the previous years, usually, we separate from the high school year, but this year we decided to do something different. What has been decided is that they will be divided into six groups of 81 students, and each group will have a subdivision of nine students per group.

To be fair to everyone, we divided the groups equally by the performance in the classes you had, each group has a similar average, the difference is only five points. This will not hinder your performance very much. The groups have already been split, and the name list has also been posted on the school system, you just need to consult and go to the designated location. I wish everyone good luck. “Finishing his speech, Principal Song Yuan disappeared from the stage, leaving only the teachers.

“As everyone has heard, you can consult the system now, we will be leaving in two hours, I hope you all are mentally prepared for the challenges at the training camp.”

“We, teachers, wish you good luck too” The teachers spoke at the same time before leaving too. The people who will run the training camp were not them, but another group of people.
