Chapter 9

"Four now, controlling five at once is even more difficult. Sigh, I wonder if I can complete controlling all seven little rascals and connect them into a star track before the end of this semester... Speaking of which, Monkey said he can only practice controlling for a maximum of one hour each week, and he would collapse if he went over by just five minutes. I wonder why I could practice for two hours from the start. Could it be because of the dual awakening?" Mo Fan muttered to himself.

"Controlling a star once should consume the same amount of blue, which means my blue capacity is twice that of Monkey and the others?"

Each magic student has limited mental energy. Each attempt to control a star is a drain on the spirit. With the current level of mental energy of magic students, it seems that most can only practice controlling for one hour...

With an extra hour of advantage, plus Mo Fan's daily efforts, his progress has already surpassed many of his classmates. Even the best in the class, Mu Bai, according to his lackey, has only managed to control three stars.

Seven stars are needed to achieve the desired result. Mo Fan has already controlled four and is hopeful of breaking through to five within this week. It seems that the dual awakening not only allows him to have two accounts but also gives him more time to practice!

This is a perfect advantage!!

Reaching the peak of life and marrying a rich and beautiful woman is just around the corner!

...

...

Classes start at eight o'clock sharp. The first class is Demonology, taught by Mr. Zhang Jianguo, the head teacher of the neighboring class.

"Mo Fan, why are you late again? Can't you be more serious? You already have less talent than most of your classmates and a very poor foundation. Yet, you still don't study seriously. Look at our classmate Zhao Ting, who has a talent for lightning, is smart, has a good foundation, and a serious attitude towards magic. He can already control four lightning stars, while you, I hear, still can't control any fire stars. Your fire awakening is being wasted!" Mr. Zhang Jianguo immediately scolded Mo Fan as soon as he saw him arrive late.

Mo Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes. Mr. Zhang Jianguo was really relentless, almost mentioning that lightning-talented guy in every class.

That so-called Zhao Ting is the one who awakened to lightning during the opening ceremony. Mr. Zhang Jianguo talks about him every day, and even with his educational expression, he can't hide his pride.

"That guy controls four stars, I already have six, just one step away." Mo Fan thought disdainfully but didn't say it out loud, instead, he leisurely walked to his seat.

"Alright, everyone, open your Demonology textbooks. Today, I will continue to discuss the more common demons. As you all know, demons are distributed outside the cities where humans live, and they are highly aggressive towards humans. They wander around and fight each other... So, what should a magician do when they encounter a one-eyed demon wolf in the wild?" Mr. Zhang Jianguo began to lecture enthusiastically.

One-eyed demon wolf.

This is a demon that lives in the wilderness closest to human cities. Mo Fan has only seen its general appearance through book illustrations and videos, and it looks very fierce.

Ordinary people cannot deal with such creatures; only magicians can fight them. Of course, for these magic students who can't cast any spells yet, encountering a one-eyed demon wolf would result in a bloody massacre!

The one-eyed demon wolf is a key topic in Demonology. Mr. Zhang Jianguo has spent a week on this demon, and Mo Fan is already tired of hearing about it.

Now, Mo Fan, with his unique double-time practice, has already controlled six lightning stars. As long as he focuses his mind, he can make those six stars obediently form a star track.

The problem is, the seventh star is particularly difficult to control, like a chaste and fierce woman, neither soft nor hard, making Mo Fan extremely anxious!

Just one step away!!

"Brother Fan, how's your fire practice going?" Zhang Hou asked urgently as Mo Fan sat down.

"Same as always," Mo Fan replied casually.

Fire...

As Mr. Zhang Jianguo said, Mo Fan still can't control any fire stars.

There's no way around it; this semester, he has focused all his energy on the lightning stars.

"Really? It seems your foundation is really affecting your practice. I heard Mu Bai can already control four ice stars. If he works hard during the winter break, he might complete the initial ice skill 'Ice Vine' next semester," Zhang Hou said.

"I know."

"Brother, why aren't you worried at all? I tell you, he and his lackey Zhao Kun are already planning to give you a taste of their power."

"It's fine, let them come."

Mo Fan's mind was entirely on how to control the seventh star, treating everything else as air.

"Sigh, just be careful... This semester is almost over. Next semester, Brother Fan, you need to work harder. If you can't complete the magic release test at the end of next semester, the school might find various reasons to persuade you to leave."

...

...

The semester ended quickly. Mo Fan vaguely felt that the seventh star was about to be moved by his sincerity.

"Damn, practicing is harder than serving a goddess, greeting and communicating day and night..." Mo Fan complained as he walked out of the school.

This entire semester, Mo Fan almost never left the school. Two hours of control practice every day, ten hours of meditation after practice, followed by classes, meals, and sleep, without a single day off.

No matter what, the semester is over. After receiving their winter break tasks, the students returned to their respective homes.

Walking out of the school gate, Mo Fan almost instinctively headed for the bus to go home, but when he came to his senses, he was suddenly at a loss.

He almost forgot that his father had sold the house, leaving him essentially homeless.

His father, Mo Jiaxing, was probably still driving. With nowhere to go, Mo Fan thought it was time to visit his aunt and see Xinyang.

It had been almost half a year since he last saw Xinyang. He wondered how she was doing at her aunt's place.

"I'll go to her school and pick her up."

Mo Fan got on the bus and headed to another middle school.

On the bus, with nothing to do, Mo Fan continued to practice controlling, hoping the seventh star would finally behave.

Different stars of different elements have different temperaments. Some are easier to coax, and Mo Fan can usually make them behave with a few nights of sweet talk. But some are particularly aggressive and hard to touch, and if not handled properly, they can cause mental backlash, which brings intense mental pain and significantly increases the consumption of mental energy.

The seventh star Mo Fan hasn't controlled is of the aggressive type, ready to fight at any moment, as difficult to handle as a fierce aunt.

Fortunately, their relationship has recently improved significantly, and the aggressive star is gradually showing a willingness to listen. Otherwise, Mo Fan would have cried, as he has spent almost a whole month on this seventh star.

(Tencent Literature's homepage has the theme song for our "Full-Time Mage," a very nice song. The girl's voice is very ethereal. It's in the media library of the Full-Time Mage special section on the homepage. Everyone should go and listen to it~~)
