Although the morning run hadn't caused any serious injuries, Lu Shi was still quite tired. Knowing that the drive to school would take about an hour, Lu Shi decided to close her eyes and rest for a while.
Feng Tianxiao nodded and began meditating and cultivating as well.
The driver even raised the partition so as not to disturb the two.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Shi, still half-asleep, suddenly felt a bright light before her eyes and couldn't help but open them.
Looking out the car window, it felt like being in a forest of steel and iron, with vehicles moving on the road, so dense yet orderly.
Strangely, there was no sunlight in broad daylight, which made Lu Shi look up.
The dazzling lights came into view, and the skyscrapers looked down on her like giants.
Between the buildings, the suspended magical shuttle glides along tracks above the city, like a predatory snake patrolling a forest.
Giant electronic screens with vibrant colors are embedded in high-rise buildings, displaying a dazzling array of advertisements.
Lu Shi recovered from her brief daze and asked softly, "Principal Feng, is this J City?"
“Yes! Shishi, although J City is not as politically influential as the capital, it is far ahead in terms of economy.” Feng Tianxiao was woken up but was not annoyed. Instead, she patiently explained, “The economy here is developed and the level of wealth is very high. Look at these buildings, aren’t they much better than those in N County?”
"This is what a base city in a magical world should look like!" Lu Shi couldn't help but exclaim.
This city of J has a somewhat cyberpunk feel to it.
It's just that advanced technology is replaced by various forms of magic, but the final effect is the same.
The only constant is that ordinary people here also live fast-paced and high-pressure lives.
As Lu Shi watched the iconic street advertisements and tall buildings flash by, she noticed a magical airship suddenly flying overhead, towing a brightly colored, fluorescent advertising banner.
A tall and lifelike virtual avatar was projected into the air by a holographic projection device, and the advertising actor recited the lines in an alluring tone: "Everyone can do it! Phantom Magic Training School will make your dream of becoming a magician come true!"
"Principal Feng, if someone can't awaken their magic ability after the age of ten, doesn't that mean they can't become a magician? Why are there training schools that can make such exaggerated advertisements?" Lu Shi pointed at the illusory advertisement in the air and couldn't help but ask.
Feng Tianxiao glanced at the advertisements in the air and scoffed, "It's nothing but a fraudulent scheme to make money by deceiving ordinary people."
He then scolded him sternly:
"Pah! They're all liars, committing heinous crimes!"
"Isn't anyone in charge?" Lu Shi continued to ask curiously.
“These institutions are all backed by magical families, with enormous power. They even set up classrooms in regular magic schools, and their students study alongside real magicians.” Feng Tianxiao’s eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence. “Back then, I couldn’t stand this kind of corrupt practice, so I went to N County to create a pure magic school.”
"If the students can't become magicians, won't they cause trouble?"
"Make a scene? Can you outrun a magical family? Besides, it's all consensual. Some ordinary people will do anything for that tiny, uncertain possibility. Ordinary people are like leeks, you cut one batch and another comes."
Hearing Feng Tianxiao's words, Lu Shi didn't know what to say.
It's understandable that ordinary people want to change.
But these magical families are far too greedy.
After all, even magicians need the support of ordinary people! It's a complete system!
Lu Shi didn't want to think about the deeper, more profound principles involved.
She hasn't thought about changing the world yet, but she can do something for this magical world when she becomes stronger in the future.
...
Soon, the Maybach drove through the city and arrived at the entrance of a school.
The words "J City's No. 1 Magic High School" are carved on the wall at the school gate, and a faint yellow light shines on them.
Upon seeing the Maybach, the school gates opened immediately, allowing them to pass.
Upon entering the campus, Lu Shi was even more impressed, comparing it to the Magic High School in N County.
It's like comparing heaven and earth.
Of course, N County Magic High School is mud.
The car finally stopped in front of a tall administration building.
Lu Shi followed Feng Tianxiao out of the car and into the building.
There was a reception desk in front of us. A little girl was sitting inside. She looked up when she heard someone come in.
The first thing you see is two long legs tightly wrapped in a black, sleek bodycon skirt, with jade-like feet in solid black high heels, the straight lines extending from the toes all the way to the abdomen.
A black, tight-fitting shirt covered her chest, but it couldn't hide her impressive figure.
Finally, what I saw was a face so beautiful it defied description.
The young girl had clearly never seen a beauty like Lu Shi before, and was momentarily speechless.
Feng Tianxiao spoke first: "I am Feng Tianxiao from N County. I have an appointment with Principal Zheng."
"Oh, it's Principal Feng! Principal Zheng told us that you can go directly to the tenth floor, the top floor. Someone up there will meet you," the young girl said politely, pointing out the direction of the elevator.
"Okay." Feng Tianxiao didn't say anything more and led Lu Shi towards the elevator.
Stepping into the elevator, Lu Shi touched the luxuriously decorated handrail and asked with a grin, "Principal Feng! This top magic high school in J City looks incredibly wealthy! Just think of N County High School, tsk tsk, what a difference!"
"The money should be used to improve teaching and enhance students' abilities, not for these flashy but impractical things." Feng Tianxiao waved his hand, clearly very dissatisfied with the extravagant and wasteful practices.
bite.
The elevator reached the tenth floor and the doors opened. A woman dressed as a secretary stood outside.
She bowed and led Lu Shi and the other person to the principal's office.
The tenth floor is decorated in a more exquisite and luxurious style, showcasing the owner's wealth in every detail.
When they reached the door of the innermost office, the secretary knocked.
"Please come in."
A deep male voice came from inside.
The secretary pushed open the door and gestured for Feng Tianxiao and the other person to enter first.
Lu Shi followed Feng Tianxiao into the room.
Then they saw a fat man, as big as a mountain of flesh, flamboyantly step forward and hug Feng Tianxiao, saying, "Principal Feng, welcome, welcome! I've missed my little brother so much!"
As he spoke, he pulled Feng Tianxiao to sit on the reception sofa to the side and waved to his secretary to prepare tea.
Only then did the obese man notice Lu Shi, and the amazement in his small eyes was impossible to hide.
He covered his mouth and asked Feng Tianxiao in surprise, "Brother Feng, who is this stunning beauty?"
Feng Tianxiao showed a look of disgust, but still replied, "Principal Zheng, Shishi is a teacher at our N County Magic High School."
"Shishi!" The man immediately stood up, wanting to hug Lu Shi.
“We’re not familiar with each other, so please call me Teacher Lu.” Lu Shi resisted the urge to retaliate with three Shadow Nails or a Thunder Spear, and subtly took two steps back, avoiding the man’s embrace. She didn’t even extend her hand.
Disgusting scoundrel, he doesn't even deserve a handshake.
Principal Zheng was surprised by Lu Shi's quick thinking. He awkwardly withdrew his hand, his expression changed, and he slowly sat back in his office chair. He reached into a box on the table, took out a large cigar, lit it, took a deep drag, and exhaled a large smoke ring.
Lu Shi sat down next to Feng Tianxiao and silently watched Principal Zheng show off.
To be honest, if Principal Feng hadn't been there, she probably would have just turned around and left.
Only after Principal Zheng had smoked half of his cigar did he speak calmly to Feng Tianxiao:
“Old Feng! I am also very saddened by the disaster that has befallen N County. Your N County Magic High School used to be very strong, but now there are only a few of you left. I welcome the merger into J City No. 1 High School. However, all the magical artifacts that your school originally possessed must be handed over to J City No. 1 High School, and we will distribute them uniformly from now on.”
Feng Tianxiao hurriedly stood up and asked angrily, "Zheng Wuren, that's not what you said back then."
"Tsk, Lao Feng, don't get agitated. You're seriously injured too. I'll give you two months' leave. Think it over carefully, and come find me when you've made up your mind." Zheng Wuren flicked the ash from his cigar, his attitude extremely arrogant.
"Let's go, Principal Feng. With a principal like this, this school isn't a good place." Lu Shi stood up, pulled Feng Tianxiao, and prepared to leave.
“Um, Shishi, right?” Zheng Wuren asked loudly.
Lu Shi stopped and turned to look at him.
“I admire you. Come and be a teacher at No. 1 High School. I’ll pay you this much a month.” Zheng Wuren raised his left hand, held up five fingers, and gestured.
"Fifty thousand?" Lu Shijiao asked with a smile.
That smile nearly made Zheng Wuren's soul fly away. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course, Teacher Lu, if I'm willing to pay more, the price I offer will definitely be more satisfactory to you. You know what I mean!"
"I understand you... damn it!"
Lu Shi's eyes shone with white light.
[Spiritual Impact]
An invisible shockwave slammed directly into Zheng Wuren's head, causing him to clutch his head and cry out in pain, even dropping his cigar to the ground.
"Shishi." Feng Tianxiao was about to speak.
Suddenly, a woman rushed into the office, bypassing Lu Shi and the other person, and pounced on Zheng Wuren.
A white light flashed in his hand.

Oh, another mind magic user...
