Alice hesitated, because the bald man in front of her didn't seem like a good person at all.
That smile was so lewd; I felt like he was going to do something bad to me.
Noticing the wariness and hesitation in the girl's eyes, Li Ming smiled and said nothing more.
He wanted to take the girl as his apprentice, but he wasn't in a hurry, since no one would compete with him for her right now.
Wow!
Suddenly, a commotion arose in the square. Li Ming turned his head and saw a chubby girl with a blank expression. The crystal ball in her palm shone brightly, with circles of earthy yellow light emanating from it!
Six rings of light!
Level 6 Earth Magic Talent!
Li Ming's eyes burned with excitement; he had truly struck gold again.
No more outstanding geniuses appeared in the subsequent tests, and Li Ming was already satisfied.
What more could two geniuses possibly want?
His attention was primarily focused on Alice.
He knew that if he didn't hurry, the chances of Alice becoming his student would decrease.
Finally, before setting off for the academy, Alice agreed to become Li Ming's student.
After learning that the bald man was the city lord, Alice hesitated for a long time before agreeing to become his student. Li Ming was also very happy to provide some help to the student's mother.
An easy and effortless job with a high pay, and some money.
It was a fair trade.
As the information gradually came together, Su Qing looked at the documents in her hand.
This time, the Magic Academy enrolled 53 students, and the Knight Academy enrolled 670 students.
The gap is huge, but there's nothing that can be done about it. Everyone has some talent in terms of skill.
But for magicians, it really comes down to luck.
Su Qing was mainly looking at those few with outstanding talent.
Alice and Vivi from Nanlong City, one with a level seven knight talent and the other with a level six earth mage talent, are both geniuses who need to be nurtured.
There's also a boy in North Dragon City named Locke, who has a level seven fire magic talent, and another boy from a small town named Ryan, who has a level six knight talent.
These four individuals have been highlighted and are the focus of future development efforts.
Although it is an academy, it is impossible to treat everyone equally; geniuses will ultimately receive more care.
The enrollment process was basically complete, and the students should be able to arrive at the academy in two days. Su Qing then remembered that the academy's name had not yet been confirmed.
Dragon Academy? Black Dragon Academy?
Both seemed acceptable, but Su Qing felt that something was missing.
After thinking for a moment, I finally made a decision.
A family of scholars!
Yes, a college name that takes an unconventional approach—Su Qing felt it had a more cultured feel.
The academy is divided into two departments: magic and martial arts. The magic department currently has two classes, and the two Glory-level mages serve as the teachers.
The Aura Department has a total of ten classes, and the teachers in each class are specially selected high-ranking knights.
Their teaching abilities have been tested and proven to be quite good.
Su Qing quickly made the arrangements, and everything proceeded smoothly.
When the testers who had been sent out returned with the students they had recruited, the once quiet academy gradually became lively again.
Su Qing arranged all the basic facilities in the college very well.
At least when the students saw the brand-new campus, their initially tense and uneasy hearts gradually calmed down, and they began to look forward to the six years of study ahead.
Two days later, in the college square, more than 700 students lined up neatly according to their assigned classes, led by their respective teachers.
Each child's face, though young, wore a different expression as they all gazed at the distant academy gate.
Occasionally, people would whisper among themselves: "What kind of person do you think the lord will be?"
"He must be a really good person! He's so kind to us, he can't be a bad person!"
The two chubby boys were whispering to each other.
Suddenly, a cold gaze swept over them, instantly freezing the two of them in fright.
That person was their class teacher; according to the local dialect, they were called the homeroom teacher.
A very fierce older woman, even though they had only known each other for two days, had already left psychological scars on these fourteen- or fifteen-year-old children.
Swish, swish, swish!
Above the sky, Su Qing flapped her wings and arrived late, slowly landing on the high platform in the middle of the square.
His clothes were more appropriate than usual.
Excluding the tail, its body was about two meters long. It was wearing a specially tailored black suit with a red bow tie around its neck and its hands behind its back, looking quite dignified.
All eyes turned to them with curiosity, for they had all heard that their lord was a dragon.
Meeting her now wasn't scary at all; on the contrary, Su Qing, dressed so formally, made him feel inexplicably close to her.
Su Qing coughed lightly. This was his first time speaking on stage, and he was inexplicably a little nervous: "Hello, students!"
The sound spread and reached everyone's ears.
The children remembered their teacher's instructions and bowed in unison, their voices still fairly uniform: "Hello, Principal!"
Su Qing smiled with satisfaction: "Welcome to our scholarly family. You will be living and studying here for the next six years..."
Su Qing began her long speech.
At first, the students found it novel, but gradually, their youthful, innocent faces began to turn sour.
"Every six months, the college will conduct an assessment, and those who excel in the assessment will receive a scholarship..."
After about an hour, Su Qing felt he had said enough and introduced the Dean of Students again. When Su Qing was not present, the Dean of Students would handle all the affairs of the academy.
The meeting was then adjourned.
The head of student affairs was Li Ming. There was no particular reason; it was simply because the other person's hairstyle reminded him of his former head of student affairs.
Moreover, compared to others, Su Qing did trust him more.
After touring the academy once more, Su Qing flapped her wings and left.
Upon returning to his territory, old Sam rushed over, holding a golden piece of paper in his hand.
"My lord, something terrible has happened!"
Su Qing raised an eyebrow and looked at Old Sam: "What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic? What kind of behavior is this!"
He took the paper from the other person, opened it, and found it was an invitation.
