Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Behind Liu Yang, a shadow began to form. A strange circular object with ten strange designs, the designs were different. There were a sword, knife, dagger, ax, sphere, needle and many other objects. Each object had a different color, the sphere was blue, the dagger was green, the sword was red, the needle was yellow and others.

This was the lock that needed the ten weapons of the God of the Elements, the Wheel of the Elements. But how does Liu Yang have this inside his body?

"Darling, you can stop" Liu Xia has seen enough. Liu Yang stopped releasing the magical energy and the circular object disappeared.

"How was it?"

"It seems that the ten designs have reached the intermediate level of level 7 as well. Sister Nightshade's medicinal liquid helped a lot, "Liu Xia commented.

"It is a lot of work to have to use resources eleven times than normal ..." Liu Yang spoke in a discouraging way. For Liu Yang to advance from one level to the next, he needed to work ten times more than an ordinary mage.

"But against a mage on the same level, you are unbeatable" Liu Xia just laughed at Liu Yang's discouraged way. If he fought someone on the same level as him, Liu Yang would easily win the fight.

"Honey, what level do you want me to set the seal?" Liu Yang asked. He could choose how much magic power would be sealed by the seal.

"Seal your powers to the level 9 beginner mage. The amount of energy we currently have is very large, so you can train in the technique of flying."

"I see ... I will be regular for the level 7 beginner. So, I don't have to worry too much if you lack magic energy"

"Darling, you don't have to do this. The amount of magic energy is enough, you can train as a level 9 beginner mage."

"Okay," Liu Yang and Liu Xia held hands before closing their eyes. Several seals appeared on the couple's body, these seals began to release a large amount of magical energy. Liu Yang's cultivation leveled three times, from beginner 6 to beginner 9.

"Shall we take our shower?" Liu Yang carried Liu Xia like a princess and asked.

"Yes."Liu Xia was not prepared for Liu Yang's sudden attack, but soon calmed down and let her lover carry her to the bathroom.

The couple showered and had a perverted fun inside the bathroom. After several days of torture, the couple relaxed and completely released their fatigue and exhaustion. Liu Yang and Liu Xia did activities until they passed out in bed due to tiredness.

…

The next day…

Liu Yang and Liu Xia went to school as usual. As expected, Xiao Mei and Song Jia had returned from the capital, the two only needed to go there because of formalization as an honorary member.

The students at the Eastern School were ashamed and looking at Liu Yang, as they discovered that they were the real trash. But this situation only happened with students who came from funds slightly above average, those who came from powerful and influential clans still thought that Liu Yang was trash and that his fiancée who deserved all the points for the things they did together during the competition.

The principal called the two of them to his office as soon as they arrived at the school, he had something to talk to the couple.

"Children, I apologize for those late words. Congratulations on taking our school to the final stage of the competition and almost winning the title of champion." The director was happy when he talked about this subject. Our school almost won the competition, if it weren't for the interruption of the five guests, we would have a chance to win.

"We thank the director for that. But it is a shame that the competition was canceled before the champion could be decided. "Liu Yang sighed a little about this.

"This was inevitable, nobody imagined that five great powers would send some magicians to our country to negotiate some agreements" The director spoke in a discouraging way, he wanted to see his school compete until the end.

"Left that aside, director, what kind of business do you have with us?" Liu Xia asked she knew that the director had not called them to his office just to congratulate them both.

"Look at this" The director pointed to the wall in the room. The couple looked in the pointed direction and saw that there was a mural with several wooden signs with golden letters, on each plate, there were several dozen names written.

The names on the plaques were of the students who represented the East High-School during the High-Schools Competition, each plaque represented a year that has passed. On the last plaque were Liu Yang, Liu Xia, and Xiao Mei written.

"Principal, are these the representatives' plates?"

"Yes. What do you think of this?"

"This is interesting. But looking at these signs, why did a student manage to represent the school in one year and the next year he was not chosen? " Liu Yang was curious about this fact, he had several possibilities in his mind.

"..." The principal sighed when he thought about it.

"Some of these students died during the high school graduation test. While others have changed schools "The director spoke discouragingly.

"Is there a graduation test?" Liu Yang and Liu Xia were surprised to hear those words. When they enrolled in school, they heard nothing about it.

"The graduation test is extremely difficult and deadly, the student can accept or refuse the challenge. This does not change anything, the student can still graduate normally after three years in school. The only difference is that students who win the challenge can enter the most prestigious university in the country, the Imperial University. This is the dream of every mage in China.

Unlike other universities. Imperial University was a little different. To enter the Imperial University, the mage needs not only a powerful and influential background but also a lot of talent. Because of these conditions, only magicians who came from powerful and influential clans had the money to pay.

Because of this, the government decided to create a challenge for students who are finishing high school. This challenge is called the Graduation Challenge. At first, the big shots were dissatisfied with the government's decision to place people with common backgrounds at the Imperial University, but this dissatisfaction turned to joy.

One year after the challenge was created, the first students of common fund approved at the Imperial University were enrolled. To everyone's surprise, many of them were stronger than the students who came from the big shots. And the reason for that was that they had to work harder because they had no support. Some of these students even married some members of these big shots "The principal summed up some things about the Graduation Challenge and the Imperial University.

"I see ... Principal, if a student passes the Graduation Challenge, but declines the invitation to the Imperial University, is that possible?" Liu Yang asked.

"Yes, it is possible. But an ordinary person would not do something like that. Unless that person just wants to test his skills provided by the challenge "The director understood Liu Yang's thinking.

"I see…"

"Children, you can go. It was good to talk to you "

Liu Yang and Liu Xia said goodbye to the director and went out of the door.

"Are you two going to follow your parents' path? Or will you make another decision? I look forward to seeing what you guys are going to do "The director murmured after the couple left. He remembered some things from the past.

…

When Liu Yang appeared in class F, the students looked at him with different looks. The anthology's disdain turned to admiration.

After seeing Liu Yang's performance in the competition, they realized that a student who came from a common background can also be strong and represent the school.

Liu Yang did not mind this change in the look of his classmates. That sort of thing was already expected.

But unlike the students, the happiest person was the teacher, he was happy to see that at least one student in his class was exceptional.

Because of the things that happened during the competition. Zeng Wu started teaching world history, this was so that students would know a little more about world geopolitics, even if a little.

After the events of 2012, the change to a new era. All continents have changed, some for the better while others for the worse.

Starting with the Americas Continent, the territories of North America have completely changed, the desert areas have expanded and swallowed everything thousands of kilometers around, cities like Las Vegas next to the Tulle Desert, have been swallowed up by the desert. The other deserts in North America also swallowed up the nearby cities.

To make matters worse, these deserts were invaded by creatures and wild beasts. This makes these places prohibited for human habitation.

Large forests grew and became nests for dangerous wild beasts, while small forests dried up and became rotten and dangerous swamps.

Canada's frozen areas are no longer frozen, at least some areas of thousands of kilometers, after the changes, these places have thawed and turned into gigantic stone forests, but they are uninhabitable because of nothing but a petrified tree. The only things that inhabit these locations are dark demons and strange creatures.

Unlike the US, Mexico was much more fortunate, Mexico's desert areas became places for good agriculture, the soil was fertilized.

Because of this factor, the US invaded Mexico and annexed its territory, Canada ceased to exist and merged with the US. The name of the new country was USNAF, United States of North America Federation. Because of the changes, the North American territory has lost almost forty percent of its population.

In Central America, the place has become a great nest for sea beasts, giant creatures that live in the seas, the vast majority were giant fish. Many islands were wiped out by the floods while the rest became havens for the survivors.

In South America, Brazil, Peru, and many other countries, which share the Amazon Rainforest, have suffered a major disaster. The forest expanded at an alarming rate and engulfed cities and almost destroyed these countries.

The population declined dramatically because more than sixty percent of the total people who were unable to escape, they were killed by the creatures of the forest. Deserts also expanded and the emergence of new dangerous creatures began to inhabit the desert.

The Andes had a sudden increase in size. The mountains grew so high that they reached the skies, although they were slightly smaller than Tibet in China, it was still extremely large. The places that were still safe and with possibilities of habitat, people started to live in these places.

To increase the chance of survival, the countries of Central and South America allied. Thus came the Union of Latin American Nations.
