Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Chapter 64: Meeting

Strong winds were blowing everywhere, the grass changing direction with each passing moment.

In front of a major hurricane was a group of people, fifteen in total, but they were divided into smaller groups with a few members, a total of five groups, and each group was separated by uniforms.

In one of the groups, it was possible to see a beautiful black-haired girl talking to a common-looking boy, their conversation seems to be quite encouraging. While the other members of the group looked at the boy with disdain. The two were Liu Yang and Xiao Mei.

Liu Yang walked for a few days until meeting Xiao Mei and the Eastern School group.

On the last day

"It looks like the big sister is near, the compass is getting more and more agitated." Liu Yang saw that the compass began to tremble more than usual, that was the sign that its target was near. Liu Yang quickened his steps.

A little further

Booom Booom Booom

Explosions were heard, various kinds of spells were being used to attack seven wind wolves and one wind snake.

Looking more closely, Liu Yang saw a group of students wearing the East School uniform, but the uniforms had some slight differences, the group made up of students from the main and subsidiary school. Among the students, Liu Yang saw someone known, Xiao Mei.

Liu Yang did not approach the group, he stood looking at Xiao Mei, he wanted to see how far she improve the control training of her magic energy. Liu Yang pulled out a chair and sat looking at them.

At the site later

"Senior, we need to increase our casting speed. Otherwise, it will be impossible to beat these creatures. "One student said, he and seven other students were fighting the wind snake, Xiao Mei was in this group, while the rest were fighting the wolves.

"Hold on, we'll try to increase the power of magic" Xiao Mei shouted, she activated her magic equipment, a ring. A green light shone and the spell casting speed increased by ten percent.

"Piercing Spear" Xiao Mei closed her eyes and cast the intermediate spell. She didn't want to show that she was already at the advanced level, as it was a surprise she was preparing for her parents and clan.

The casting time was why Liu Yang and Liu Xia did not use spells, as it took time to cast. Unlike element control, which was instantaneous, but attack power was reduced, and it was necessary to increase the use of magic power to improve power.

"Go !!!" Xiao Mei shouted it took her three seconds to finish casting the magic.

Shuoooo !!!!

The spear flew at high speed toward the snake.

"Damn beast, you're not going anywhere !!!" A student wearing a steel armor shouted, he jumped and hit the snake's head hard, this was to attract its attention.

The snake felt the dangerous spear coming, but the snake had no time to dodge, as the other mages were keeping it busy.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The snake could not dodge, the spear pierced straight through its head and through its body to the end, the weak point was destroyed and the snake defeated.

"Let's help others," Xiao Mei told her group to help the other group, she ate a pill before meditating for a while, she used a lot of magical energy to create this spear.

"Yes" The group had already defeated the snake, and the wolves were much easier to deal with.

In a few moments, the wolves were defeated and the points divided.

"Senior, you are amazing. You managed to defeat the snake with only one intermediate spell. "One of the students at the East School's subordinate schools said, he was trying to win Xiao Mei a favor.

"The person who is watching us, could you show up?" Xiao Mei spoke casually.

"Senior, is it an enemy?" The students were tense, if anyone attacked at this time, they would not have much energy to protect themselves.

"I don't think so, because this person has been watching us for some time while we were fighting, but he would rather be watching than acting," Xiao Mei said, but she was still curious who the person on the other side was.

"What are we going to do if it's an enemy? We're already exhausted after fighting these beasts. "

"We can only hope they have no bad intentions. Otherwise, we can only run away and try to secure our points. "Xiao Mei spoke in a heavy voice, they were already tired and without magic energy. If anyone attacked now, they could only run.

"East School's students, it's a pleasure to meet you. But a pity at the same time. "A group appeared after Xiao Mei exposed them.

"West School !!" Xiao Mei's group shouted when they saw the group that appeared, the two schools had a great rivalry, because one is in the coastal zone near the sea while the other was in the interior of the country.

"It seems that all of you are already exhausted after this long and tiring battle against these beasts. But it is a pity that you will be the next to be defeated. "The group leader spoke arrogantly. The West School students looked at Xiao Mei's group dismissively, it was like an easy victory for them.

"You !!!" Xiao Mei's group was annoyed by these words, although they are tired, they will not be easily defeated.

"Let's stop talking and get to the point. What do you want to do? Will you hand over your cards willingly or do we have to do it the hard way? "The young man said arrogantly, he didn't even mean to introduce himself because he didn't think it was necessary.

"Do you think it will be that easy?" Xiao Mei said solemnly, she didn't want to show her powers to an advanced mage if it wasn't her last resort. Xiao Mei did not want to be disqualified from the competition anytime soon.

"Looks like we have to do it the hard way" The young man didn't mind fighting Xiao Mei's tired group.

"Can I join this play?" A casual voice was heard. Both groups looked toward the voice and saw an ordinary young man walking casually.

"Liu Yang !!" Xiao Mei shouted in happiness, she was happy to see her man. As long as he is by her side, nothing bad will happen. That was a blind trust that Xiao Mei had for Liu Yang.

The male members of the group did not like the way Xiao Mei called the name Liu Yang, they realized that the way she spoke was different from before. The way was more cheerful.

When Xiao Mei spoke to them, she was cold and indifferent. This aroused jealousy and envy in those who had any interest in Xiao Mei.

"Big sister, I'm glad you're fine." Liu Yang spoke cheerfully to Xiao Mei, before looking at the West School students.

"So you're the famous Liu Yang, my name is Duan Jin, it's nice to meet you. I watched the videos where you fought nine intermediate and advanced mages while at the novice level. I was surprised when I saw that. "Duan Jin wasn't lying, when he saw that video, he really was surprised, or rather scared.

The scene where Liu Yang defeats nine intermediate and advanced mages as if they were nothing was frightening. Even though the elders said Liu Yang was lucky because the nine were distracted, this is not something a normal person can do the same way he did, victory only needed a single instant.

Duan Jin was not a spoiled, dumb young master, he understood many things, and studied many things. What Liu Yang did was absolute control over the wind element, to reach this stage, how long and hard training would it take? Duan Jin didn't know.

He tried to do the same thing as Liu Yang after watching the video, but he couldn't even create a hurricane, let alone nine and directly at the targets' heads. How much control was needed? Duan Jin didn't know.

The only thing Duan Jin knew was that if he met Liu Yang during the competition, he would have to flee, for defeat was a certainty unless he attempted a surprise attack. This was not only the thinking of Duan Jin but also of many other students from other schools.

"It's nice to meet you too. As you already know me, there's no need for me to introduce myself. "Liu Yang said casually, he walked over to Xiao Mei's side and waved to her before speaking to the other side.

"As junior Liu Yang came along, we will take a little face and put this matter aside" Duan Jin knew when to move forward and when to back off, and at that moment, it was time to retreat. They quickly came out of sight of Xiao Mei's group.

"I appreciate that." Liu Yang and Xiao Mei's group started walking in the other direction,

A few seconds after they left

"Junior Liu Yang, why did you let them go? They could have given us a lot of extra points !! "One student spoke unhappily, the others thought so too. Since the group belonged to the same high school, they thought that Liu Yang would help them get more points.

"Why shouldn't I have done that? I have no obligation to do that. Also, if you want more points, you can go after them, no one is stopping you. "Liu Yang said sarcastically, he had already helped Xiao Mei's group. Now, they still wanted him to fight, Liu Yang was no idiot to do that.

"You !!!!" The other students didn't like the way Liu Yang responded and what he answered. As student school representatives, they were proud of it, but Liu Yang made it seem like they couldn't do things on their own, how would they not be annoyed by it?

"Everyone, you need to calm down. Let's rest first before we head toward the hurricane. "Xiao Mei intervened, she didn't want the group to fight. But it was obvious she was on Liu Yang's side.

"Senior Xiao Mei is right, let's rest before we continue our walk" Another student commented, he sat down and began to meditate without caring about the others. He was already tired after fighting and had no time to argue with others. Other students did the same, but some had resentful glances as they looked in the direction of Liu Yang and Xiao Mei, both of them talking cheerfully and amusingly. Xiao Mei was laughing and smiling, which she didn't do when she was with them.
