Nirvana High School versus Magic 2 High School.
Lu Shi did not get involved again, and did not even have time to go to the scene to watch.
Strictly speaking, Nirvana High School has already won the bet between Nirvana High School and Magic High School.
Even the runner-up is definitely better than the top four.
But Zheng Wuren pretended to be dead at this moment, refusing to admit to the bet.
Lu Shi didn't have time to deal with him, so she could only leave everything to Feng Tianxiao.
She herself requested a long leave from Feng Tianxiao and Qian Wujin.
reason?
The Zhou family and the military region helped her get it.
The excuse he used was that a mission required a healing white mage to participate.
Because of the coordination from the military region, even Zhang Tianci called to make a guarantee.
The leader of the team was Wu Chen, Wu Qingliu's younger brother, who was a major general in the military region. Wu Qingliu trusted his younger brother very much.
With so many people's assurances, Feng Tianxiao and Qian Wujin's doubts were finally dispelled.
The six students also bid a reluctant farewell to Lu Shi, promising that they would work hard to win the championship.
This made Lu Shi very happy.
I left with peace of mind.
Pooh!
Leaving made me feel much better.
After meeting up with the main force at the agreed location, Lu Shicai discovered...
The destination this time was Jinlin, a city nearly 500 kilometers away from J City that had been occupied by monsters.
Upon boarding the waiting field vehicle, Lu Shicai met his companions.
There are six people in total.
Leading the group was Wu Qingliu's younger brother, Wu Chen, whom he had met once before. However, Wu Chen hadn't seen Lu Shi, who was invisible, last time; this was his first time seeing her.
Wu Chen is only twenty years old and is already a major general, just two ranks away from the Military Intelligence Bureau.
This time, he was the leader. He was accompanied by two military magistrates from the military region.
There were also two people from the Zhou family. One was Zhou Renqing, and the other was Zhou Le, an elder of the Zhou family, who was in his fifties and looked like a very friendly uncle.
The five of them, plus Lu Shi, constituted the entire group for this trip to Jinlin.
On the bus, after getting to know everyone.
Zhou Renqing took the initiative to introduce the mission.
"We have two missions for this trip to Jinlin. The first is to retrieve the Kunlun Mirror lost by the Zhou family. According to information provided by our informant in the Shadow Society, there are currently fifty members of the Shadow Society in Jinlin City. So the second mission is to wipe out these beasts. Kill them on sight, leave no survivors."
“An informant? You actually managed to infiltrate the Shadow Society. Do we have informants in Jinlin City? If you don’t leave any survivors, won’t you accidentally hurt one?” Lu Shi reminded him.
"I can't reveal who the specific informant is, but I can assure you that he is absolutely reliable. Furthermore, he's not currently in Jinlin City, so everyone can rest assured," Wu Chen responded.
Then, he looked around at everyone and said seriously, "In order to facilitate smooth operations later and to ensure everyone can cooperate well, let's first disclose our magic system and cultivation level."
"Since it was my suggestion, I'll speak first. I am a high-level mage of the wind, fire, and earth elements. My two companions are both high-level wind mages, while their other two elements are relatively weaker: mid-level fire mages, and early-level water and earth mages."
"I, Zhou Renqing, am a high-level expert in Summoning, Chaos, and Wind. My uncle, Zhou Le, is a high-level expert in Wind, Fire, and Thunder," Zhou Renqing continued.
All eyes were on Lu Shi.
Lu Shi thought for a moment and calmly replied, "Yes, it is indeed necessary to explain this so that everyone can cooperate. I am a mid-level healer, wind, and shadow mage, and a high-level mind mage, fire, and lightning mage."
Well, let's give them a little shock first, and talk about the six departments.
"Ah! Teacher Lu, why do you have six elements? Aren't you just a high-level mage?" Zhou Renqing covered his mouth and asked seriously.
"Oh, I was born with two elements, and each time I awaken, it's two elements."
It feels good to talk like that.
But it silenced everyone.
"I've also seen you use light-based magic before, Teacher Lu. Do you even have light-based magical artifacts?" Zhou Renqing asked, remembering something.
Oh, I forgot, this guy has seen me use light magic to fight his sixth uncle.
"Yes, I also have light and space-type magical artifacts." Lu Shi readily admitted, so that she wouldn't have any worries about using magic later.
Oh wait, I forgot to mention summoning. However, Xiaoya and the little fox probably won't need it for now.
"It seems that inviting Teacher Lu along was a very wise choice. We've gained something by admitting defeat to Nirvana High School in exchange for your presence," Zhou Renqing said with a broad smile, in high spirits.
"Alright, everyone knows your teammates now. I'll formally introduce the mission." Wu Chen clapped his hands. Although he was the youngest in the vehicle besides Zhou Renqing, his every move exuded a maturity beyond his years.
"Jinlin used to be a big city, and an ancient city. Unfortunately, it was occupied by monsters. There were millions of people who couldn't escape. You could say that there are human remains everywhere there."
After pausing, Wu Chen composed himself and continued his introduction.
"According to the location provided by the informant, it is located on the banks of an inland river in the center of Jinlin City. It used to be a famous scenic spot. It was an examination site for scholars in ancient times, and the river was also a place for high-ranking officials to seek pleasure. The informant's information is that the members of the Shadow Society have hidden the Kunlun Mirror somewhere inside the examination site."
"What we need to do is to investigate that area, find the Kunlun Mirror, and then kill all the members of the Shadow Demon Society."
Lu Shi raised her right hand.
"Teacher Lu, is there a question?" Wu Chen asked.
"How many members of the Shadow Society are there? And what kind of magical beasts are occupying Jinlin, and how many are there?" Lu Shi asked all the questions she really wanted to know in one breath.
"Haha, I was just about to say that. Current intelligence indicates that the Shadow Society members guarding that area number in the fifties. The exact number and their strength are unknown. Furthermore, only one type of magical beast currently inhabits Jinlin City: rats! They range from level 1 to level 8, but their numbers are unknown. These magical beast rats inherit the high reproductive rate of ordinary rats. Therefore, their ability to occupy Jinlin City and drive away all other magical beasts relies on their sheer numbers," Wu Chen patiently explained.
Upon hearing this, Lu Shi got goosebumps.
Rats, the animal she hates most.
The thought of facing a vast horde of rats and being surrounded by those disgusting animals made Lu Shi feel somewhat troubled.
"Major General Wu, we're approaching the outskirts of Jinlin City. The rest of the way is up to you. We'll be hiding in the vicinity, awaiting your signal." The gearshift suddenly dropped, and the soldier in the passenger seat spoke respectfully.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Wu Chen quickly responded.
"We wish you all the best in your mission and hope you take care."
After everyone got out of the car, the two soldier drivers saluted them, turned the car around, and went to find a place to hide.
"Alright, now it's our turn to act. Everyone has brought a magic phone and has added each other to their channels. You can contact each other. However, I suggest that you don't use it unless it's a life-or-death situation. Because among magical beasts, there are those that can sense magical signals. Using it comes with corresponding risks," Wu Chen reminded everyone.
Everyone nodded and checked their belongings again.
They all headed towards Jinlin City.
...
The group of six were all high-level wind-element mages. They moved as swiftly as the wind.
As soon as I stepped into the outskirts of Jinlin, I encountered countless magical rats.
These rats are only at level 1, but they are many times larger than the rats in my previous life. The smallest ones are half the size of a person. Although they are called rats, their size is about the same as the Tibetan mastiffs in my previous life.
Its hideous appearance made Lu Shi feel even more disgusted.
The monster rats weren't afraid of humans either. When they saw the six human mages, they even tried to surround them and strangle them.
Unfortunately, they were too slow. After running for a while, they realized they couldn't catch up with the six people, so they dispersed.
Soon, the six men rushed into a mountain ridge on the outskirts of Jinlin City.
Looking at the city, which resembled a post-apocalyptic ruin, Lu Shi felt a deep sense of melancholy.
Humans are truly insignificant in this magical world.
