Jumping off a building at the start?

"Xu Fang, hurry down! The wind on the rooftop is too strong, it's dangerous!"

"Try to think positively. So you awakened the Light Element, what did I say when I awakened the Water Element?"

"Look on the bright side. Even if you can't become a Great Mage, at least your family won't have to buy lightbulbs anymore, right?"

"Zhao Kun San, if you can't comfort me, then shut your damn mouth! Monkey, hurry and use Wind Track to save Blondie!"

"...Brother Fan, I just awakened."

Tianlan Magic High School.

On the edge of the rooftop, a boy in a high school uniform stood there, his expression blank, letting the wind whip his uniform.

"Light Element..."

"Heh heh."

If it weren't for his flashy golden hair and the blinding sun in the sky, this scene would have definitely made girls with a penchant for melancholic characters scream.

He glanced back at the crowd and, with no further hesitation, took a step forward.

"Ah----!"

The intense feeling of weightlessness instantly focused his previously scattered mind.

Xu Fang's eyes snapped open.

"I didn't die---- Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"

Seeing the ground rapidly approaching, Xu Fang was completely stunned. His brain couldn't even process what was happening before his limbs instinctively flailed in the air, trying to save himself.

However, it was useless.

First a cliff, then a building, what kind of fate is this...

At the critical moment, a furious roar echoed in Xu Fang's ears:

"Wind Track · Floating Shadow!"

Whoosh!

Xu Fang's falling body suddenly stopped, then he was lifted into the air again. The brand-new textbooks that had been placed outside the teaching building were also blown all over the place by the strong gust of wind.

Then, his collar tightened, and Xu Fang was slung over someone's shoulder.

"Principal Zhu, I'm taking this brat with me. I'll buy you a drink later!"

Xu Fang felt like a sack. The bearded man didn't even bother to discuss it with him, carrying him away at an impossibly fast speed.

After the two left, the previously quiet campus erupted.

"Wind Track · Floating Shadow! Brother Fan, that's Level 3 Beginner Magic, it's awesome!" exclaimed Zhang Xiaohou, who was as thin as a monkey.

"It's nothing much. By the time he's my age, I, Mo Fan, will be able to hang him up and beat him," Mo Fan said casually. "Who was that guy?"

Zhang Xiaohou shook his head. "I don't know. He was wearing a military uniform, so he's probably a Military Mage from outside the city."

"I could tell that without you saying it. Blondie, do you know him?"

Mu Bai's eyes twitched violently. He took a deep breath.

Don't get angry, don't get angry. I need to maintain my image. I can't stoop to the level of this scumbag. I'm half a young master of the Mu Family, and this guy is just the son of a servant.

"Commoners have a limited perspective. That's Commander Zhankong from the Snow Peak Mountain Posthouse. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the number one person under the Mu Clan of Bocheng... Hey, are you even listening!"

Mo Fan ignored him completely, crossing his arms and looking at Xu Fang, who had long since disappeared from view.

Meanwhile.

On Zhan Kong's shoulder, Xu Fang struggled to process his current situation.

He had transmigrated.

From a cliff in his hometown, Earth, to the world of Full-time Mage, becoming a sixteen-year-old high school student.

Damn it, why did he have to transmigrate to this world?

The world of Full-time Mage was a magical plane similar to Earth, where powerful demons were as numerous as weeds in a field, growing back endlessly.

The most critical issue was that humanity was already at an absolute disadvantage, yet they couldn't put aside their differences to unite against the external threat. Instead, the class structure was extremely rigid, and internal conflicts between countries and factions were constant.

In this world, slacking off was absolutely not an option. In the world of Full-time Mage, danger would find you. Without High-level Cultivation as a foundation, a single Commander-level Demonic Beast could wipe out an entire group.

You couldn't be too monstrous either. The Holy Judgment Court and the Heterodox Judgment Court did nothing but stockpile accusations, and their sacred greatswords were always ready to strike down geniuses.

—Five-star General MacArthur once said that any danger was insignificant compared to going to the Full-time world, because the shadows this world cast would not disappear even after two and a half years.

Despite his reluctance, Xu Fang had no choice but to accept the reality of transmigrating to this messed-up world.

As for the original body's situation, it wasn't complicated.

The original body's parents were both Military Mages. His father was a powerful Intermediate Sky Eagle Mage, a true Elite in Bocheng.

However, during a mission, they unfortunately sacrificed themselves to cover their comrades. Only Xu Fang, who was less than ten years old, remained on the Xu family's household registration.

The military took custody of Xu Fang.

For his safety, he wasn't housed at the Snow Peak Mountain Posthouse but rather in the Xu family's old residence, with monthly payments sent.

Under these circumstances, Xu Fang developed a bold and competitive personality. Coupled with the regular deliveries of nourishing Demonic Beast Meat from Snow Peak Mountain, he grew stronger than his peers from a young age, becoming the dominant figure and King of Children in the area.

In this residential district, there were over a hundred rowdy children, but only two and a half King of Children.

One was Xu Fang, another was Mo Fan, and half was Mu Bai.

Xu Fang and Mo Fan had similar temperaments; they feared nothing and exuded an intimidating aura, full of wild energy. The two would have a minor skirmish every three days and a major one every five, often ending up with bruised and swollen faces.

Sometimes they would cooperate. For instance, when Mo Fan eloped with Mu Ningxue, Xu Fang was the one who provided the Wind Element. He even deliberately covered his naturally striking golden hair with a hood, in exchange for Mo Fan doing his laundry for a month.

As for Mu Bai, that green tea-drinking little scoundrel, he was jointly despised by the two.

The original host grew up in such an environment until the day of awakening, the moment that decided destiny.

Among the three, Mu Bai awakened the Ice Element, the powerful inherited attribute of the Mu Clan.

Mo Fan was even more awesome, awakening the Great Fire Element. Even his follower, Zhang Xiaohou, awakened the Wind Element.

And the original host... Xu Fang, who was currently reviewing the memories, widened his eyes in surprise.

He had thought the original host simply looked down on the Light Element, but it wasn't that simple.

The original host had initially awakened the Fire Element, which was known for its violent output. However, before the Red Star Dust in his spiritual world could even form, it was devoured by a mass of Golden Star Dust.

Devoured...

The original host's mentality exploded!

It was like scoring over 600 on the college entrance exam, only to have a classmate from some unknown corner change your major choice, and then reporting to a vocational college three months later.

Seeing Mo Fan and Mu Bai showing off their powers, the original host couldn't cope and went straight to the rooftop.

This...

Xu Fang couldn't quite judge it.

Having read the original work, he could certainly say that the late-stage Light Element was king. Whether it was the Super Level sacred art Demon Punishing Sword or the Forbidden Curse Heavenly Rainbow, both had the highest single-attribute output, making them unrivaled at their level.

But the original host didn't know that!

In his eyes, he had gone from a promising destructive mage to a large light bulb with sufficient wattage. It was understandable that he would consider going to the rooftop!

Now that Xu Fang had taken over, he naturally wouldn't attempt suicide again.

What a joke. A Light Element that was so domineering it could devour Fire Element – who would believe it didn't have something special about it!

Xu Fang planned to study his stardust carefully – but not right now.

Because he couldn't stand the jolting anymore, and walking around ostentatiously wrapped in a sack was too embarrassing.

"Legion Commander, put me down. I can walk myself."

"Oh, so you're embarrassed now?"

Zhan Kong didn't stop walking, cursing under his breath, "I specifically attended this damn opening ceremony for you, and I just happened to glance at a girl's legs, and you, kid, went up to the rooftop?

Are you not ashamed? I ask you, are you not ashamed? A dignified man, just because you awakened the Light Element, you want to end your life?

I knew a senior whose first element was also Light. He didn't whine and moan; he eventually reached Super Level, the backbone of our Southern Military Region!

And you look at yourself?

Damn it, the gap between people is wider than the gap between humans and dogs!

Never mind that senior. Just look at your dad, such a good man. Before he sacrificed himself, he was still thinking of you, wanting you to have a Sky Eagle too and become a Sky Eagle Mage.

Sky Eagle Mage? Hmph, looking at your pathetic state, you still want to be a Sky Eagle Mage? You're more suited to be bird food! If I throw a bun to a dog, the dog would be more qualified than you!"

Zhan Kong's mouth was truly vicious.

He was also genuinely anxious. The only son of his old subordinate had almost jumped to his death in front of him. If anything had happened, how could he face his comrade?

Damn it, his hands were itching to slap him a couple of times.

Xu Fang listened quietly. When Zhan Kong finally tired himself out, he spoke softly, "Legion Commander, I want to go to Gudu."

Screech!

Zhan Kong stopped abruptly. "What did you say?"

"I said, I want to go to Gudu."
