Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage - Chapter 31: Not accepting the result

When the students heard confirmation that Liu Yang was the winner, none of them were surprised that they had seen Liu Yang takedown Yao Mu before he could cast his magic. But the question was, how did Liu Yang do it? Everyone was waiting for the instructor to say that answer.

“Student Yao Mu suffered no bodily injury, he just fainted from the breathlessness caused by the whirlwind. Student Liu Yang, you didn’t have to use any magic, right? The only thing you used was control of the element, I presume. “Wang Liang noted that Liu Yang did not cast any magic and only used the wind element to form the whirlpool.

“Yes, I used only magical power to create the whirlwind” Liu Yang confirmed the instructor’s questioning.

(He is worthy of being an irregularly approved student by Cao Wen, although his level and amount of magical energy are very scarce, his control of the elements is on a different level for a high school student, this type of control only exists in universities.) Wang Liang praised internally, he was surprised to see that Liu Yang was the type of control who focused only on control and not on his magical power.

“Wake up him, we can’t delay the start of camp anymore. As I said before, by winning the fight, student Liu Yang will continue in student Yao Mu’s group. And this matter is over ”

Wang Liang signaled to two assistants behind him, the two went to Yao Mu and used their magic, a white and blue light began to shine before going to Yao Mu’s body. Both were healing mages, but they had different elements, light, and water.

“Ahh… what happened? Why do I have such a headache…” The first thing Yao Mu did was hold his head because he was feeling a headache and dizziness, this is the result of losing too much oxygen. Liu Yang controlled himself not to fatally injure Yao Mu, he stopped his power before it dealt permanent damage to his opponent.

“Student Yao Mu, you lost the fight and student Liu Yang will continue in your group”

“What???!!!! How is this possible???!!! How could I lose to trash that is just a novice mage??? !!!! “Yao Mu didn’t believe the instructor’s words, or rather he didn’t want to believe it because it was unbelievable to him, that he, Yao Mu, lose a fight against a mage who was far inferior to him.

“You can believe anything you want, but the truth is before your eyes, and besides, all these students and my assistants have also witnessed your defeat.” Wang Liang’s words were like a bucket of cold water thrown at Yao Mu he finally realized he had lost when he looked around at the students. Yao Mu saw that they had pitying looks because he lost to a mage who was much weaker than him.

“Student Yao Mu, is there still something you want to say?”

“I… I… Instructor, I do not accept this result, Junior Liu Yang may have cheated using magic equipment or conjured magic beforehand. A novice mage like him can’t defeat an intermediate mage like me. “Yao Mu spoke his mind, he still refused to believe that he had lost.

Yao Mu’s words had some meaning in the minds of many students, who came from influential and powerful backgrounds, they were also believing in Yao Mu’s words. As students who came from the same kind of backgrounds, they would rather believe in their fellow students than others who came from more humble backgrounds.

On the other hand, students who came from humble backgrounds were believing in Liu Yang, as he also came from a humble background. In their minds, someone who came from a humble background and was a novice mage, he managed to defeat an intermediate mage who came from an influential background. This kind of thing for them was as an example to follow, even if they can’t do the same.

“Student Yao Mu, why do you think student Liu Yang used some kind of magic equipment or used magic beforehand?” Wang Liang was curious to know what Yao Mu’s argument would be to make him believe these words.

“I think he used something because it is impossible for a novice mage to defeat an intermediate mage in foreign aid.” Yao Mu spoke his thoughts, many agreed with him.

“I see … Is that all you have to say?”

“Student Yao Mu, can I ask you a question?”

“Yes instructor”

“At some point before the fight between you and student Liu Yang, did I comment about not being able to use magic equipment or something?”

“Instructor, this is…” Yao Mu didn’t know what to answer to that question the instructor didn’t say he couldn’t use magic equipment or anything.

“Magic equipment is also part of a mage, if you have it, you can use it, because, on a battlefield, it can save your life many times over. And one more thing, do you know what this is? “Wang Liang pulled out an object that looked like a metal disc with several engraved inscriptions.

Many students were in doubt about what this metal record would be. Others knew what it was.

“This metal disk is called the Interference Plate, this item serves to block the use of magic equipment within the area around it. This proves that student Liu Yang and student Yao Mu did not use any kind of magic equipment. Besides, you can look at that. “Wang Liang signaled to his assistants, two of them walked while holding a tablet each, many numbers were written on the screen.

“From the beginning, my two assistants were analyzing the magical power around, this was to see if there was any kind of anomaly or not. As you can see, the graphs show that the amount of magic power is very scarce and has no variation, this shows that no magic or magic power has been used. Student Yao Mu, do you still have any questions? “Wang Liang asked again.

This time, Yao Mu felt like he was in an abyss, he finally realized that he was defeated and the other side was just a novice mage. Yao Mu could not accept these results even in front of him.

“Instructor, I…”

“Student Yao Mu, I suggest that you stop trying to argue against something obvious to everyone. What’s more, as a sophomore, you should set a good example for flashman. “Wang Liang said so that he wouldn’t let Yao Mu say anything anymore.

When Yao Mu looked at the other students, he saw that they had pitying glances.

(Pity? Are they taking pity on me? Me? Do I need to get that kind of look ??) Instead of thinking about his actions and improving his attitudes, Yao Mu began to feel hatred and resentment towards Liu Yang as he was the person who defeated and shamed him. Yao Mu would take revenge on Liu Yang for this, even if he is the person who started this dispute.

“As this matter has been resolved, let’s start training camp. As team leaders, you need to take care of your group members, but you also need to lead them to achieve the goals.

During the camp, you will be in the forest for two months, food, shelter and among other things, you will need to search for yourself. Those who cheat and eat things they have hidden will be disqualified from training and sent back.

The performance of each of you will be evaluated, leaders will have one more requirement in the evaluation, which is leadership. As junior students, performance in leading a team will also be evaluated.

To complete the training, you need to go through this dense and dangerous forest, within it, there are many kinds of danger, but also many treasures like natural herbs that improve cultivation and among other things. Whatever you find inside the forest will belong to you, you can use it to the improvement of your ability.

But you need to remember one thing: The rarer the resource you find, the stronger the guardian.

These are my warnings, I wish you the best of luck. Separate into rows, each group will enter in an orderly manner. ”

The groups were arranged side by side, the assistants called one group at a time to enter the forest.

The entrance was a type of portal that would transport the groups to different places, this was to make the training more competitive.

When all eighty-one groups entered the forest, the training camp began.
