The Magic and Martial Arts Academy has three major branches, namely the Magic Branch, the Swordsman Branch, and the last one, the Alchemy Branch.

Because magicians are mostly one-on-one, they have the highest status in the mainland, so the Magic Branch also has the highest status. Swordsmen are second, but a strong swordsman can beat a great magician, but the premise is that the swordsman can get close to the magician.

After all, magicians are long-range spells, while swordsmen are melee output.

As for the Alchemy Branch, it is actually a place for the nobles who are pampered at home but useless to survive. After all, after graduating from the Magic and Martial Arts Academy, you can always spend money to buy a title such as an award. At the very least, you can become a baron and have your own small territory, so you don't have to live in the open air and fall into a refugee zone.

Of course, those who are pampered are in the minority. In this world where the strong are respected, it is useless to be pampered if you are not strong enough. You can only be a small baron and barely keep your noble status.

In this era of obvious polarization, the titles are divided from top to bottom into duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron. But don't underestimate the baron, it is also a noble status. As a noble, you have fiefdoms and fixed monthly salaries, and it can even be inherited. However, those big families with high titles will reserve the titles for the most talented and powerful descendants in the family. The others can only rely on themselves.

According to this logic, the most powerful inherit the family title, and the favored can buy a title. However, in this era when there are five, six, seven, or eight children in a family, most of them are insignificant.

This kind of people, after graduation, can't spend money to buy themselves a position. They fall from nobles to commoners, but at least they have learned a skill. After going out, they can find a job for themselves in the city and not starve to death. It's just like the previous one, making lighting or perfume to maintain their daily livelihood.

If Cheng Jiujiu was going to inherit just an ordinary fiefdom, it would be nothing. He could just follow the routine of those good-for-nothings in other families and live comfortably as a parasite.

But the fiefdom left by Cheng Jiujiu's parents is a big piece of fat meat, and countless nobles are eyeing it.

Since his parents are Grand Dukes, Cheng Jiujiu will inherit the title of Marquis, which is a step-by-step inheritance method. Only when Cheng Jiujiu has made enough military achievements can he become a duke again.

In the history of the entire Magic Martial Continent and the Huanyu Empire, there have been less than ten dukes in total, and Cheng Jiujiu's family has produced six of them!

Every generation has gained fame through outstanding military achievements, but because of their excessive strength and the tendency to turn against the extreme, the Cheng family has never had many descendants, and almost every generation has been a single-line inheritance.

Not only other nobles are eyeing the Cheng family, but even the empire is eyeing it, because the Cheng family's foundation is too rich.

As a result, Cheng Jiujiu has no way to keep a low profile.

According to the logic of entering the academy at the age of seven and graduating at the age of sixteen, Cheng Jiujiu, who is now thirteen years old, can be said to be an older dropout. But there is no way, who made his parents so powerful? The words that he and his wife will educate their children personally have shut up the world. After all, no one thinks that they are better than the couple.

Because he was well protected by his family, Cheng Jiujiu never disclosed his magic level and swordsman level.

The levels of magicians and swordsmen are divided into eight levels in total, and if they are divided in detail, there are actually seven levels.

The most basic is the magic apprentice, who is not recognized by the magic guild and is not considered a magician, but for the general public, it is considered an entry level. Going up, there are levels one to seven. Levels one and two are elementary magicians, levels three and four are intermediate magicians, levels five and six are great magicians, and level seven is called a wizard.

The levels of swordsmen correspond to those of magicians. The most basic is the entry-level swordsman, levels one and two are elementary swordsmen, levels three and four are intermediate swordsmen, levels five and six are advanced swordsmen, and level seven is a sword master.

Many people were eagerly waiting to know what level Cheng Jiujiu was at now. They estimated that Cheng Jiujiu was at least a third-level magician or swordsman. After all, Cheng Jiujiu was already thirteen years old and should have practiced for six years... No, no, the others were tested for their talents at the age of seven, but Cheng Jiujiu was born with talent and should have practiced for thirteen years.

Although practice was difficult, in the entire Huanyu Empire with a population of 300 million, there were less than five great magicians and sword masters, and only more than thirty great magicians and great swordsmen, while there were several thousand intermediate magicians and swordsmen.

But this ratio was simply astonishing.

Many people can only be junior magicians and swordsmen throughout their lives.

It has to be said that because of his parents and the background when he was born, Cheng Jiujiu was infinitely overestimated. They all wanted to know how powerful this genius was.

But they never expected that Cheng Jiujiu would enter the Alchemy Branch without looking back?

Some people wanted to ask Cheng Jiujiu what he wanted to do, but the oldest of them was only fifteen years old, and those who were sixteen had graduated. There were too many legends about Cheng Jiujiu, and they hesitated for a while and did not dare to approach him for the time being.

This resulted in Cheng Jiujiu having a smooth journey, and he walked directly into the registration point of the Alchemy Branch with the map of the academy.

The dean of the Alchemy Branch is an old man with gray hair and cloudy eyes. His long beard is braided into a goatee. He welcomes the new students listlessly.

Cheng Jiujiu entered the academy together with a seven-year-old child, which made the thirteen-year-old look particularly eye-catching.

The dean didn't see the little kid, so he had to raise his noble head, and then he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

What's going on? In the past, his branch had the fewest people, and they were all inconspicuous. Even those who were rich and pampered just had a few more little followers around them.

But the guy in front of him obviously didn't look like a seven-year-old kid. There were many senior students following him, and everyone was staring at Cheng Jiu eagerly.

The cloudy eyeballs moved, and the deep green eyes of the branch director gradually became clear. He took Cheng Liujiu's registration form, and his eye sockets instantly turned bright green. He

directly gave Cheng Liujiu the crystal ball for testing mental power.

In less than thirty seconds, Cheng Liujiu directly entered the Alchemy Branch. When everyone passed the mental power test and everyone came to their senses, the director of the Alchemy Branch had already made Cheng Liujiu's identity card.

Everyone, "..."

Cheng Liujiu, "?" She didn't expect the speed to be so fast. Logically, shouldn't she wait a little, at least until the evening to get the identity card?

"The academy's identity cards are all made by our Alchemy Branch." As if seeing through Cheng Jiujiu's confusion, the branch director was kind enough to explain.

His words made the students from other branches stunned.

Robbing, robbing people?

The new students didn't understand at all, and the old students with deep backgrounds were completely confused. As for the boy in the crowd who was crouching and seemed completely inconspicuous, he looked at Cheng Jiujiu with deep eyes.

Are you going to attack that person as soon as you come in?

Cheng Jiujiu, Cheng Jiujiu, it seems that your dead parents have told you a lot of secrets.

You know, the dean of the Alchemy Branch can be said to be a big weirdo. Originally, there were a total of two major branches in this Magic and Martial Arts Academy, a magic branch and a swordsman branch, and alchemy was another branch under the magic branch, which was similar to the water system, wood system, wind system, and earth system, and it was not of high status and had few people.

However, this dean beat up the dean of the magic branch by himself and made the Alchemy branch independent. The dean of the Swordsman Academy disagreed, so he was also beaten up by the dean of the Alchemy branch.

Just when everyone thought that the dean of the Magic and Martial Arts Academy would teach him a lesson, they learned that the dean had divided out an independent branch for him.

This branch has been divided for more than two hundred years.

Yes, you read it right. The little old man with white hair and a beard is actually nearly three hundred years old. It is said that he is the last living magician and swordsman who practices both magic and martial arts on the mainland.

The deans of other branches and the main academy have changed several times, but this old man is still standing.

Moreover, he has a very strange temper.

He will beat up students if they disagree with him, and even if he makes you in a bad mood, he will not let you graduate. No matter which branch you are from, he only does things according to his own mood. It can be said that this old man is the bully in the Magic and Martial Arts Academy.

Fortunately, the old man likes to sleep when he is old, which makes the academy much more peaceful. However, it is precisely because of the existence of this old man that the status of the Magic and Martial Arts Academy has never been shaken.

Because this old man never does things in a low-key manner, there is no one in the entire academy who does not know how powerful he is. It's not that no one wants to get close to him, but their endings are all miserable.

Alchemist, what he likes to make most is some weird little gadgets. Those who try to please him eventually become experimental subjects, some are neither human nor ghost, and some are even neither male nor female.

In short, this is a very scary existence. Ordinary noble children dare not offend the branch director, and many noble children who know the inside story have been harmed. On weekdays, they try to hide as far away as possible and dare not provoke him.

At the same time, Cheng Jiujiu on the other side really didn’t know that this branch director had such a glorious history. She felt like she had met an old pervert!

After she signed the registration form, the branch director’s eyes never left her, or to be more precise, his eyes kept wandering on her body, and his eyes were very direct.

If the Alchemy Dean's eyes were somewhat restrained when he was registering, then when he arranged a room for Cheng Jiujiu, his eyes became extremely presumptuous. This old pervert stared at Cheng Jiujiu's hand like a wolf. Then he looked up

, and up again... until he aimed at Cheng Jiujiu's chest, and he even stretched out his hand?!
