"But this gentleman is not yet a student of this school. If you want to conduct a qualification assessment, you will have to wait until the college receives the letter of recommendation. Otherwise, it would be against the rules." Teachers are also stubborn people. Once they have made up their minds, they will stick to it to the end.

People who insist on their own opinions are sometimes appreciated by their superiors and promoted, but this person was clearly not so lucky.

Philliss was clearly getting impatient. She glared coldly at the teacher, displaying her princess-like authority and showing no regard for the teacher. "Whether it's in accordance with the rules or not is not up to you. If you want to stop me, go and drag that old man, the principal, over here. If he also disagrees, then it's in accordance with the rules."

The teacher hadn't backed down yet, but his colleagues couldn't just stand by and watch him die. Just as the teacher, red-faced and determined to defend his last shred of dignity, the other teachers rushed over and carried him away, chair and all, while simultaneously apologizing profusely.

“Your Highness, this fellow is new here. Please be magnanimous and don’t take it to heart. It’s just a aptitude test. Sir, this way please.”

Wu Yu wasn't the type to seek special treatment, but he genuinely couldn't bear to give up this opportunity to learn magic, so he turned a blind eye to Phillis's bullying behavior.

Nearby, students were whispering amongst themselves, while Wu Yu, feeling perfectly at ease, followed the students' lead and placed his hand on what looked like a crystal ball.

The crystal ball shone with colorful lights, just like a fairy light, though the light was slightly dim.

The mercury column on the far left stopped rising when it reached the number fifty.

"This gentleman is a magic apprentice, adaptable to all attributes, with an elemental affinity of fifty, but his aptitude is poor," the recorder announced.

The crowd immediately stirred up a commotion; this outcome caused a huge uproar.

"Good heavens, I thought he was some kind of prodigy, but he's just trash. His elemental affinity is only fifty. This must be the worst result of this year." Someone with a powerful background didn't care about offending the princess and led the laughter.

"Don't say that. Look at that guy, with his black hair and black eyes, he's clearly a descendant of an Eastern race. Although everyone in that race is adaptable to all attributes, their elemental affinity is notoriously low, with an average of less than ten. This guy is definitely a genius in his race."

Wu Yu thought to himself, "I'm really terrible. I can't even stand looking at my aptitude. Although I know my aptitude isn't high to begin with, I recently bathed in dragon blood, which greatly improved my aptitude. But look at the result now, this is it?"

However, Wu Yu didn't take the others' ridicule to heart. He only intended to treat magic as a hobby. If he wanted to use it to deal with enemies, what difference would that be from carrying a pistol and wielding a kitchen knife?

"Then may I ask, am I qualified to learn magic?" This was the main concern of Wu Yu.

"Sir, your aptitude is almost at the minimum requirement for learning magic. If it were any lower, you wouldn't even be able to absorb magic power. However, sir, your mental strength is quite strong, and you should be close to the threshold of becoming a first-tier mage. If you receive professional instruction, you should be able to become a first-tier mage in less than a month. But as for advancing to a second-tier mage, I don't know how long it will take," the teacher replied.

"Strength doesn't matter, as long as I can learn magic," Wu Yu said nonchalantly.

The teacher actually wanted Wu Yu to give up, but Wu Yu didn't give up on enrolling. So the teacher had no choice but to go along with Phillis's wishes and said, "Then please take a look around the academy first, sir. After we have collected all the student information, we will announce the class assignments in the afternoon. Your class teacher will explain the arrangements to you then."

"Then I'll take my leave." Wu Yu replied and then withdrew.

“Phillis, since you have a friend here, why don’t you have him show you around the campus? I have some things to take care of, so I’ll be going now,” Norris said goodbye.

"Alright, Your Majesty, you go ahead with your work. Thank you for accompanying me to school today." Phillis did not try to stop him.

And so, Wu Yu, with two beautiful women on his left and right, strolled around the college, becoming the most dazzling sight among the freshmen.

Even before the official start of the semester, Wu Yu had already left behind a legend in the academy that belonged only to him, and this was only the prelude to the legend.

"Your Highness, the princess's behavior today was a bit out of line. Don't you need to keep an eye on her?" The maid following Norris asked as they left the academy.

“Isn’t this a good thing?” Norris retorted. “A princess of a nation, abusing her power in front of the most powerful people in the future of the empire, will lose the support of the nobility. Once this gets out, she will even lose the hearts of the people. Moreover, if she falls for an unknown wild boy, she will lose her last bargaining chip of marriage. In this battle for the throne, she is already out of the game.”

"Your Highness is wise," the maid replied respectfully.

"Although I don't know why my little sister suddenly went crazy and wanted to be the emperor, it seems I was worrying too much. My biggest enemy is still my eldest brother. Let's bring back the people we've placed around her. The duel between my eldest brother and me will soon be decided." Norris smiled confidently, eager to ascend to the position he had always dreamed of.

This tower without doors is usually quiet.
