Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 449 The Receptionists for the Chinese Team, the Nationalist Team Acting as Laborers

The corpses of the two commander-level Blue Valley Ferocious Beasts brought Jiang Han a huge sum of over five million yuan. Although it was far less than his savings, it was still a fortune for someone as poor as him.

After bidding farewell to the mages who were cleaning up the mess, the National Team members went directly to the Magic Association in Naval Battle City.

The Naval Battlefield Magic Association is located near the high embankment and is the most conspicuous building in the surrounding blocks. After entering the Magic Association, everyone went straight to find the person who received them.

The person who greeted the group was a short man with shifty eyes. As he led them to their suite, he kept glancing at Mu Ningxue and the other girls with his lewd gaze, which made some of the girls in the group feel disgusted.

After leading everyone to a suite of over 400 square meters, the sleazy "Japanese pumpkin" introduced himself, "My name is Lai Hengbao, and I'm in charge of receiving and vetting Chinese hunters in East Coast City."

"Also, this suite is not free; it costs 50,000 Chinese yuan per day. If you don't have the money, you can pay with your demonic courage, or other forms of collateral." As she spoke, she glanced at Nan Yu's long legs.

"Get lost (ノ｀Д)ノ." Nan Yu said coldly.

"Be careful, or I'll make sure your application doesn't get approved by the Tokyo Magic Association," Lai Hengbao threatened.

"Are you threatening us?" Jiang Han coldly swept his gaze over Lai Hengbao, while the other boys rubbed their hands together, ready to make their move.

Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Guan Yu, and Zu Jiming often discussed the figures of the girls in the team in secret, but now this short guy is practically taking advantage of them. How can they tolerate that?

As for the relatively quiet Jiang Yu and Captain Ai Jiangtu, although they weren't as eager as Mo Fan and the others, they were still looking at Lai Hengbao with hostility.

"What...what are you going to do?" Lai Hengbao was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

"What do you think?" Mo Fan said with a wicked grin as he walked toward Lai Hengbao.

"I am a deacon of the East Coast City Magic Association. If you lay a hand on me, you will be punished by the Judgment Council," Lai Hengbao said as he backed away.

"Apologize to our people and we'll let this matter go; otherwise, we can't guarantee you won't die at the hands of the siren," Jiang Han's indifferent voice rang out.

Jiang Han's body emitted countless gray-white yin energies, within which was a terrifying phantom. Just one glance at it made Lai Hengbao tremble with fear.

"I'm...I'm sorry, I misspoke just now," Lai Hengbao said sincerely.

"Ahem, everyone calm down, don't scare people," Jiang Han said with a smile as he turned his head.

Mo Fan, Guan Yu, Zhao Manyan, and the others then found a place to sit down, showing none of the fierceness they had displayed when threatening Lai Hengbao earlier. Jiang Han, on the other hand, took out the card he had just received and handed it to Lai Hengbao, who was still somewhat frightened.

"In addition to the cost of the suite, I'll give you an extra 100,000 as compensation for your losses," Jiang Han said, patting Lai Hengbao on the shoulder as he walked up to him.

After Lai Hengbao recovered, Ai Jiangtu said, "Tell us about the arrangements for the naval battle."

"East Coast City is divided into thirty-two blocks, each of which is further subdivided into thirty narrow streets, six wide streets, and one main street."

"Each of the thirty-two blocks has a governor. The governor receives a monthly protection fund from the island nation's royal family and the World Magic Association. This fund is managed by the governor and can be used to generate income in the South, cultivate their own magical forces, or hire hunter mages."

"No matter how the authorities handle that fund, all they need to do is deal with the sirens at high tide. You will be assigned to a squad in a block, and your task is to deal with the sirens that flood into the block with the rising tide," Lai Hengbao said.

"Holy crap, why do I have this feeling that I've been bought by a shady broker?" Mo Fan complained.

"Could our advisor be any more unreliable?" Jiang Shaoxu said, somewhat exasperated.

"What about the wages?" Jiang Yu asked a pointed question.

Lai Hengbao looked completely bewildered when asked the question. Although Lai Hengbao didn't say it, everyone else knew what was going on. They had been sold by their mentor to work for the district head, and they were doing unpaid manual labor.

What left everyone speechless was that the demon gallbladders from hunting sea monsters during high tide didn't belong to them either. If it weren't for the money Jiang Han earned from killing those two Blue Valley Ferocious Beasts, everyone probably wouldn't have been able to afford food for the foreseeable future.

Furthermore, the mentor instructed Lai Hengbao to relay a message to everyone, saying that if they couldn't quickly reduce the team to only four stars, their cultivation resources would be taken away by others.

The star rating of a street magician team is determined by earning points through actions such as defense, monster hunting, and rescue. If it were any other team, it would take four or five years to accumulate enough points to advance to a four-star team.

But they're not ordinary teams. They're the national team representing China in the World University Competition. Every member is a prodigy, including a monster like Jiang Han. If other countries' national teams manage to steal their cultivation resources, what's the point of participating in the World University Competition?

Before Lai Heng-pao left, he specifically reminded everyone that the tide would be high the day after tomorrow, so that everyone should be prepared for the battle.

While everyone was checking the neighborhood information, they were surprised to find that the district chief of their district, the 20th, was the same old man who had tried to flirt with Huang Mao before. And Jiang Yu, that brainless kid, actually foolishly suggested that Mu Ningxue should talk to Huang Mao.

The result? Naturally, Jiang Han and his group beat him to a pulp. If it weren't for Captain Ai Jiangtu intervening, Jiang Yu might have been beaten into a pulp for that careless remark.

"You'd better take it easy next time. If it happens again, I won't be able to save you," Ai Jiangtu said, patting Jiang Yu on the shoulder.

······

At dusk, Mu Ningxue suddenly invited Jiang Han to take a walk on the low embankment to clear his head. Whether it was because she was jealous of the increasingly intimate relationship between Jiang Han and Jiang Shaoxu, no one knew.

The seawater lapped rhythmically against the shore, and many island-dwelling sorcerers dressed in tan coats patrolled the seawall. Meanwhile, many people's attention was drawn to Mu Ningxue and Jiang Han.
