Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

The day of the High Schools Competition was near. The place for the competition was at a major Olympic stadium with broadcasting rights across the country. The stadium was close to the coast of the country, so schools west, north and south needed to leave first and travel by plane before the other two schools, as the region was further away.

Schools needed to take students to their accommodation near the Olympic stadium. Each school had their buses to do this work.

The trip was smooth and hassle-free, students just need to relax and enjoy the trip.

…

After several hours of travel, the three East School team buses finally arrived at the lodge parking lot. The place was a large apartment complex rented by the staff to be used during the month in the competition.

A total of five apartments were rented, one for each school. Since boys can't be close to girls, the building was divided into two parts, one for girls and one for boys.

After the division, each student went to their room to get ready for the meeting with the other schools, this was for the opening ceremony.

…

The place for the ceremony is in the party room in the center of the apartment complex. The room was beautiful and decorated with comfortable lights for viewing.

The students were already gathered at the place, they were eating and drinking while talking. The students were separated by their school uniforms.

Liu Yang, Liu Xia, Xiao Mei, and Meng Xiuying were together and talking. How did this happen?

During the selection test, Meng Xiuying passed the test, and as the only student she had contact with was Liu Yang, she decided to talk to him, even though he is already with two beautiful girls.

At first, Meng Xiuying was shy about talking to a boy face to face. Due to the help of the other two girls, she was able to talk to them normally. But Liu Yang was punished by Liu Xia when they were home because he seemed to have caught a woman without her knowing, even if he did nothing.

After being fed by medicinal liquid and Liu Yang's essence, the looks of Liu Xia and Xiao Mei looked renewed and bright, both of them looking a few years younger. This aroused the interest of many male students in the place, especially Liu Xia, she was already beautiful before, after things that happened, she became even more beautiful.

Many students saw that Liu Xia was smiling beautifully while talking to Liu Yang. This aroused envy and jealousy in these male students.

In some corner of the room, a pair of warm eyes were looking at Liu Xia, it looked like he was burning with passion as he looked at her.

"Lingxi, what do you think of that girl? Do you have any information from her? "A handsome-looking young man asked the young man next to him, he was also handsome, but his aura was indifferent.

"The one with the blue hair? I have some information I received from East School. She is called Liu Xia and is the most prominent freshman of the East School, she is also an intermediate mage. The most shocking information about her is that she is engaged to a person named Liu Yang, he is her stepbrother. "Lingxi's full name was Duan Lingxi, he belongs to the Duan clan.

"Step-brother? Are they an incestuous couple? "The young man was shocked to hear this, but soon thought it must not be something like that. Since it would be very strange and he would have heard rumors about it.

"It seems not, the rumors of the East School are quite confusing, but I managed to conclude that the two are not siblings with the same blood, but adopted. The girl named Liu Xia was adopted by the parents of a boy named Liu Yang. Zou Jian, it's rare for you to be interested in a girl, but that can't be avoided, she's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, but it's a pity… "Duan Lingxi sighed after saying those words.

"Why pity?"

"Zou Jian, you know I already have experience with women, right?"

"Yeah, you're eighteen and almost to graduate from high school. I heard you pregnant your fianceé and another woman you picked up at your office. "

"Hehe… You don't have to talk about it… The point is that the aura and behavior of this girl named Liu Xia is a little different from the girls around. Can you understand what I mean? "

"No. I'm not experienced like you "

"I can only say that she is no longer pure"

"Lingxi, are you saying that…."

"Yes, she already had her first time. And the young man next to her is no longer a virgin, I suppose he is her fiance, Liu Yang. Zou Jian, I have interesting information about her fiance. "

"What kind of information?"

"He is a student in class F, besides, he is a student who has not even achieved the minimum grade to pass the East School entrance exam. He only got to be accepted because a teacher irregularly approved him, you should already know who that teacher is, right? "

"Cao Wen, right? Our Capital School also wanted to hire this teacher, but he declined and preferred to stay in the East School, the students he irregularly approved are indeed impressive. What's so special about this student named Liu Yang? "

"His cultivation is only a level 6 novice mage"

"Is it that low? I thought the minimum requirement to enter the competition was an intermediate mage, at least in our school. Is the East School kidding? Do they think this competition is any joke? "

"Zou Jian, are you forgetting that he's an irregular student approved by Cao Wen?"

"I haven't forgotten that, but what can a student with a level 6 novice mages' cultivation do against intermediate mages?"

"Zou Jian, I couldn't confirm the truth of this information, but it seems to be real. I heard from some members of the East School. This student named Liu Yang, he was only accepted as part of the team after he passed a short test proposed by the principal. At first, the East School class A students were strongly against Liu Yang being part of the group because he didn't even get the minimum score to be a member.

It seems that the principal and professor Cao Wen put his name on the list without him having good results. This generated the discontent of the students. But after that, the director proposed a test for Liu Yang, he had to defeat the nine students who were in the group to have the right to participate in the group, the nine students at the same time. It was supposed to be ten, but the principal took out student Liu Xia as she is engaged to Liu Yang. Do you know what the result of the fight is? "

"A level 6 beginner mage against nine mages, who were intermediate e advanced mages? Did he do that? "

"Yes, if he is in the group, it shows that he managed to defeat all nine opponents. He managed to beat all nine at the same time and in just an instant, the fight didn't last even five seconds. Remember that among the first graders there was a level 8 intermediate mage and even had advanced mages. But even so, Liu Yang still defeated them if they as nothing and without outside help like magical equipment. Information about the fight has not been released, but we may have a vague idea about the capabilities of this student named Liu Yang. "

"This was expected from teacher Cao Wen, once again, he was able to approve an extremely talented mage, even though he has low cultivation. But this time, it looks like he approved of a monster instead of a talented student. "

"Yes, I can't imagine a novice mage defeating nine intermediate and advanced mages without any outside help. That would be considered impossible, I still think this is impossible, but as the East School has put a novice mage to the competition, they must have their reasons. "

"Yes, freshman couple Liu Yang and Liu Xia are our biggest competitors in this competition"

"Couple…" Muttering that word, Zou Jian looked deep into Liu Xia before a cold light appeared in his eyes as he looked at Liu Yang.

…

In another corner of the room you could see a young man with a cold look, he was looking at Liu Xia with lustful looks, and cold looks at Liu Yang. This young man was the young man who showed interest in Liu Xia at the entrance of the Magic Association.

After discovering that the two had no important background, he thought of several plans to take Liu Xia by force. Even if he has to kill Liu Yang because a beautiful girl like her could only belong to someone like him who came from one of the five great clans in the country.

...

Elsewhere in the hall, many private conversations took place while many students looked at Liu Yang and Liu Xia, they were the focus of conversations between these students who came from influential clans. Each had different thinking about the couple.
