Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, there were only three months left until the magic college entrance exam.
At the same time, Song Jie's Light Element had reached the third level of the Basic Level!
The Basic Level was divided into three levels. After reaching the third, a mage could attempt to break through and become an Intermediate Mage!
Song Jie had reached the third level during the first semester of his senior year, so he was already close to breaking through and becoming an Intermediate Mage!
During that time, thanks to the system's transformation opportunities, his third-level magic had also been strengthened six times!
His magic skills, after six enhancements, could already rival third-level High-level Magic!
Song Jie remembered that the deranged Lu Nian was only a High-level Mage, too!
That meant he now had the means to protect himself and could safely reveal some of his trump cards.
For example, the fact that his Light Element magic had mutated!
"Brother Jie, why haven't you gone home yet?" Zhang Xiao Hou asked when he returned from outside and saw Song Jie still in the dorm.
"I was packing up. I'm heading home now." Song Jie slung his backpack over his shoulders and got ready to leave.
He went home every week because he knew that before long, he might not have a home anymore.
He had just left the school gates when the sky began to darken. He walked along the path beside the road toward home.
His home wasn't far from Tian Lan Magic High School. It took about ten minutes to walk there.
As he neared home, Song Jie turned a corner and suddenly saw someone hurrying past on the other side.
He couldn't help frowning. He had sensed a fluctuation of Magic Energy!
Clearly, that person was a mage!
Song Jie hesitated for a while. He didn't intend to meddle in other people's business; this might be a magic organization carrying out a mission.
But!
Just as he was about to leave, a graceful figure chased after the person.
The figure passed through a patch of light, and Song Jie got a clear look at who it was!
It was Teacher Tang Yue, who had taught his class that day. He still remembered those black stockings!
Especially the tiny hole in them!!
Song Jie thought back carefully. He remembered that Tang Yue had apparently come to Bo City on a mission!
Was it because of the Black Vatican!?
He immediately thought of an answer!
The Black Vatican was not only an evil, anti-human organization in Full-time Mage, but also one of its major antagonists.
Those Black Vatican members were utterly deranged. They often did extreme things, like destroying an entire city!!
Just then, as Song Jie was still looking in the direction they'd gone, another figure hurried after Tang Yue!
"???"
Song Jie's frown deepened.
"Is Teacher Tang Yue being followed by someone who's tracking her?" he wondered.
He thought it over carefully for a while, then decided to follow them.
With his current strength, it would probably take a Super Level Mage to deal with him!
But in all of Bo City, there was only one High-level Mage, Zhan Kong—let alone a Super Level Mage.
So Song Jie didn't think anyone in Bo City could be his match.
Unless something unexpected happened.
Without hesitation, Song Jie followed the shadowy figure.
The street they'd entered had no lights, but Song Jie knew the area very well; it was near his home.
Thanks to his familiarity with the terrain, he quickly caught up with the person and spotted Teacher Tang Yue too.
Song Jie watched the scene in front of him. It was clear that Tang Yue had been following someone, but that person's accomplice had also been following her.
"Looks like they're planning to attack Teacher Tang Yue!" Song Jie guessed.
He sensed the person ahead approaching Tang Yue. They were clearly about to attack.
Song Jie focused intently. Now that he was involved, he naturally couldn't let Tang Yue get hurt.
Tang Yue was following the shadow ahead, but the figure suddenly stopped.
She frowned, sensed that something was wrong, and grew alert.
Just then, the shadow abruptly turned around and scanned the area behind it!
Tang Yue realized the person might have noticed something. Just as she was about to hide, she suddenly sensed someone following her from behind.
"She's over there! Let's take her out together!" one of the Black Vatican members called from behind.
The Black Vatican member in front heard him and immediately looked toward Tang Yue.
A Ghost Face Monkey, a monster with a Monster Body, suddenly sprang out of the darkness!
At the sight of it, Tang Yue's figure turned into a shadow and vanished into the darkness!
"Shadow Element!" the two of them cried out in surprise. They hadn't expected their opponent to have the Shadow Element!
The Shadow Element had absolute control over darkness, and there was no light here—only gloom.
"Fire Seed!"
"Bone Burning!!"
Tang Yue's shadow slid along the ground to another open patch. Then she unleashed a magic skill at one of them!
Flames surged from her fist, and the burst of fire dyed the night red.
"Water Guard!"
"Protect!!"
The Black Vatican member was clearly experienced. Faced with Tang Yue's attack, he immediately completed a Water Element defensive spell!
After he blocked the flames, the other person also launched a magic attack at Tang Yue!
"Earth Wave!"
"Sink!!"
Sensing the danger, Tang Yue called out, "Shadow Dodge · Shuttle!!"
In an instant, she turned into a shadow once more and darted away.
The Black Beast Demon was already waiting for her to reappear, ready to pounce and tear her body apart!
But Tang Yue wasn't afraid of the Black Beast Demon at all, because she had a Defensive Magic Tool to save her life!
Just as she was about to reappear and use her Defensive Magic Tool, a burst of golden light shot out and formed a golden arrow, which streaked toward the Black Beast Demon!
The golden arrow pierced straight into the Black Beast Demon's body. It cried out and howled in pain!
At the sight, Tang Yue immediately turned toward the direction the arrow had come from!
"Song Jie?" She hadn't expected him to show up here, let alone help her so much.
Although she could deal with the two men in front of her, if she were on her own, she might only be able to capture one of them.
But Song Jie had taken care of the Black Beast Demon for her first, which meant she could capture both of them now!
Tang Yue reacted quickly. She couldn't use Intermediate Level Magic, afraid that she might accidentally kill the two men!
"Fire Seed!"
"Burst!!"
Tang Yue formed a Star Track extremely quickly, and in the next instant, she also completed her Shadow Element spell!
One of them saw that things were going badly and was about to flee when Tang Yue's shadow caught up with him!
"Damn!" he cried out inwardly, but it was already too late.
"Fire Seed - Burst!" Tang Yue completed the Star Track in an instant, giving him no chance to react.
The flames exploded, blasting him into the air and scorching his clothes.
The other man met the same fate.
After subduing them both, Tang Yue didn't let her guard down.
She only relaxed after sensing that there were no more Black Beast Demons nearby, then called the Judgment Society.
Since Song Jie had come all this way, he couldn't just leave, so he walked over.
After finishing her call, Tang Yue smiled at Song Jie. "So, you've finally shown your true colors, huh?"
Song Jie paused. Had Tang Yue investigated him?
