"The most beautiful woman?"
"From the Alchemy Branch?"
"What the hell is this title?"
"Are you kidding me!"
As the words fell, the students were stunned, and even felt that this was simply a farce. In the dignified Magic and Martial Arts Academy, a place that advocates the respect of the strong, you directly pulled out the most beautiful woman?
If they remembered correctly, Cheng Jiujiu should be the future little lord, the little ancestor of the Cheng family, and he is a man.
The above are the old students who enrolled later. As for those who have done some research on Cheng Jiujiu, they were also stunned. They thought that Cheng Jiujiu could become the representative of the Alchemy Branch all of a sudden, and might be evaluated as the most promising one, or the most promising newcomer of the branch dean.
Who knew you would come up with such a trick.
It has nothing to do with strength, and there is no mention of Cheng Qijiu's identity and background. Just, face scanning? Although the opening ceremony is indeed a place for face scanning, this face scanning is not the same as that face scanning. Did you miss the point?
Not to mention the students were confused, Cheng Qijiu himself was also stunned. What
the hell?
What kind of operation is this?
Cheng Qijiu thought she was just saying hello in a low-key manner, but she suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.
Do you want to do this to her?
Are you doing it on purpose?
Cheng Qijiu looked at the host unhappily, and the host turned the screen to Cheng Qijiu.
It was so simple and crude. At the opening ceremony of the academy, the representative of the magic department was a talented girl who was known as the youngest intermediate magician in history, and the representative of the swordsmanship department was the male protagonist who was known as the first civilian swordsman. As for Cheng Jiujiu, she became the most beautiful woman in the Magic and Martial Arts Academy.
The two people in front, one was a representative of the nobles, and the other was a representative of the common people. One was a woman, and the other was a man. One was a magic genius, and the other was a swordsman genius. They were all outstanding in their own fields.
However, the title of the most beautiful woman in the Magic and Martial Arts Academy was just one person. No matter whether they were nobles or common people, whether they were magicians or swordsmen, whether they were men or women, they were all included. She
suddenly became the best in the academy. This title is not to say that it is not loud.
Nonsense!
How could it not be loud? Others got the title based on their real abilities, but Cheng Qijiu got it based on her looks.
No wonder the person who hosted the opening ceremony said so. Cheng Qijiu really didn't have any titles. The only thing that was recognized by everyone was the No. 1 beauty. In order to ensure that Cheng Qijiu's momentum would not lose, they had to pick the No. 1. After all, he was also afraid that the dean of the Alchemy Department would use him as an experiment when he was unhappy.
The No. 1 beauty? When did the Academy of Magic and Martial Arts also start beauty pageants? The dean of the Alchemy Department heard the incredible title, "???"
He was sitting in the dean's seat with a puzzled look on his face.
Because this is a world of swords and magic, the magic equipment is very advanced. As the host's voice fell, the picture of Cheng Qijiu's face was enlarged and presented to everyone present.
The absent-minded dean of the Alchemy Department originally had his eyes fixed on the ornaments on Cheng Qijiu. He was too lazy to pay attention to the random compliments from outside, and was just thinking about how to get a few more ornaments on Cheng Qijiu.
The previous two had already been ruined, and he didn't understand what was going on. He planned to find a chance to cheat him again, so he kept staring at Cheng Qijiu.
He was wondering in his heart whether it was better to use intimidation or bribery.
What did he hear in the end? The most beautiful woman? What's going on!
"???" Have the times changed? Why don't these kids pursue strength, but choose good-looking ones?
The head of the Alchemy Department, with a head full of white hair and a small goatee, stared at Cheng Jiujiu with a pair of cloudy green eyes, and then he had to admit that Cheng Jiujiu was really good-looking. He
was looking at the clothes at the beginning. Oh no, to be precise, it was a distant view at the beginning, and now it is a zoomed-in picture of the face. It
is impossible not to look at the face. At the age of thirteen, the fair little face exudes a jade-like light, and the big round eyes are slightly squinted. She doesn't look harmless, but a little more careless and stern.
Completely different from the flowers in the greenhouse, the thirteen-year-old Cheng Jiujiu exudes the kind of demeanor of being calm in the face of adversity. Compared with her beauty, her temperament is more outstanding.
"Look, this is the beauty from the Alchemy Branch that I was talking about."
"How is she? Is she pretty?"
"I didn't lie to you!"
"What are you talking about exaggeration? Listen, Cheng Jiujiu is now recognized as the most beautiful woman in the academy."
"That's right!"
"..."
Unlike those who can't understand, there will always be a group of people in the world who are obsessed with looks. They are both men and women, and they simply appreciate beauties, and they can't help but recommend the beauties they think are pretty.
However, Cheng Jiujiu's name is indeed well-known, but most people care about the family business that Cheng Jiujiu is about to inherit, and even suspect that those men and women want to curry favor with Cheng Jiujiu and deliberately please Cheng Jiujiu. Otherwise, how could you exaggerate her beauty when she hasn't even revealed her strength?
Let’s not talk about anything else, just the old lady with a birthmark on her face in the magic academy, and the gigolo who wants to be a gigolo, publicly praised the tiger aunt as the most beautiful woman in the world.
People, for the sake of power and wealth, they can really do anything.
Dog lickers are not good!
Because those who are obsessed with looks have such high opinions of Cheng Jiujiu, this has led to a rebellious mentality in many people. The more you say that Cheng Jiujiu is good-looking, the more they will go against you. The more you want them to see Cheng Jiujiu, the more they just don’t want to see it!
Now, they are forced to watch.
It’s even officially certified.
How can it not be officially certified? In such an occasion, the person who can host the opening ceremony is definitely not an ordinary person. He is the seventh grandson of the headmaster of the School of Magic
and Martial Arts. He is fifteen years old this year and will graduate in one year when he turns sixteen. Although his strength is only at the beginner level, he is a second-level magician and swordsman who has mastered both magic and martial arts. He is popular in both branches, and even the headmaster of the Alchemy Branch has to give him some face. After all, Alchemist is the most lucrative profession, and the salary of the headmaster of the Alchemy Branch is not enough for him to pay.
Because the dean never asked him for money, the dean of the Alchemy Branch treated the dean's grandchildren very well.
The dean's family was large and he had many children and grandchildren. Every one of them had lived under his nose. Moreover, the dean had been the dean for more than a hundred years. He was good at making money and was also good at giving the dean of the Alchemy Branch a thumbs up.
Anyway, there was a rule in the academy that students had to go out to do tasks to accumulate credits.
The dean felt that his academy could not train students in vain, so those who issued tasks had to pay a valuable commission to the Magic and Martial Arts Academy.
Then, the academy was responsible for collecting the money, and the students went out to do tasks to accumulate credits. Of course, those credits can not only be used for graduation, but also for redemption of some good things.
And most of those good things are made by the dean of the Alchemy Branch. For example, a shield that can withstand a single attack from a great swordsman, or a 100-meter escape teleportation crystal, and so on.
Those daily necessities such as lighting, soap, and carriages that can be controlled by injecting magic, etc., are made by those unpromising magic apprentices, that is, alchemists, and these crafts can be learned in the Alchemy Branch.
However, those powerful magic tools need to be injected with magic power by a great magician, and then created by a powerful swordsman, which is extremely costly and expensive.
Generally speaking, great magicians are unwilling to waste their magic power. Even if they want to make some magic equipment, they will pay a high-level alchemist to make it for themselves or their descendants.
Low-level alchemists can only barely support their families. Occasionally, there are some talented ones. If no one protects them, then their fate is probably to be captured by some magicians or great swordsman families and become a private alchemist, losing their freedom from then on. But there is no other way. First, alchemy is very expensive, and if all your mental energy is invested in alchemy, it will be difficult to have time to practice, and your strength will not be able to keep up.
If there is no big family to protect you, then the outcome is not optimistic. Someone
like the dean of the Alchemy Department is a unique existence in the entire empire, and how many people want to curry favor with him. Because from research to practice, plus his age, his experience and accumulation are all wealth.
The most important thing is that no one can beat him.
Moreover, this gentleman does whatever he wants, and is unwilling to sell, so he usually piles up his treasures there. If it weren't for the replacement of the new dean a hundred years ago, no one would have had any chance to use this gentleman's treasures.
The reason why the dean of the Alchemy Department is willing to do this is actually because the things taken away by the dean are all useless garbage, and it is not bad to exchange those garbage for some materials.
However, garbage in his eyes is no different from treasures in the eyes of others.
How many people desperately tried to accumulate points, just to get an alchemical treasure that flowed from his hands.
The above were all said by Jin Manshan, the host who inexplicably pushed Cheng Jiujiu to the forefront and then took Cheng Jiujiu to the side to eat melons while watching the competition between magician Luna and swordsman Tongxi.
Because it was the opening ceremony, people from the magic branch had to show magic, and people from the swordsman branch had to show swordsmanship. As for Cheng Jiujiu, generally speaking, she had to show some alchemical treasures, which could be said to be unique.
But because of Jin Manshan's operation, Cheng Jiujiu only had to show up and she had completed her display. It was enough for people to show her face to know that she was good-looking.
While doing these actions, Jin Manshan kept observing the dean of the Alchemy Branch. He felt that the relationship between the dean of the Alchemy Branch and Cheng Jiujiu was unusual, because he was always watching Cheng Jiujiu. You know, that old man usually doesn't care about anyone, and Cheng Jiujiu is indeed different to him.
After a small test, after confirming the importance of Cheng Jiujiu. Jin Manshan only caused a brief wave of trouble for Cheng Jiujiu, and then resolved it silently. "The most beautiful lady of the Alchemy Branch has been showcased. This year we will have a different opening ceremony."
"Different?"
"What's different?"
"Is it turning into a beauty pageant this year?"
"Next, you won't let us vote for who is the most beautiful."
"..."
The old students even rolled their eyes at Jin Manshan's temper. However, they did not expect Jin Manshan's next move.
"In previous years, representatives from the magic branch and the swordsman branch have presented separately. This year, let them compete in public to see who is better in magic or swordsmanship."
Jin Man's few words caused conflicts between magicians and swordsmen, girls and boys, and commoners and nobles.
Who cares about Cheng Jiujiu, the most beautiful woman now? The conflict between swordsmen and magicians, commoners and nobles, and men and women always comes first.
The scene instantly entered a white-hot stage. Even though magician Luna and swordsman Tongxi were reluctant to do so, they had to be affected by the enthusiasm of the people.
If anyone refuses, it will be a shame, proving that they are inferior to the other party! Tong Xi is a person who plays the pig to eat the tiger. She saw through Jin Manshan's intention at a glance. It was completely to divert the trouble to let them resolve the embarrassing topic of Cheng Jiujiu. He didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but Jin Manshan's words made him fight whether he wanted to or not.
The cheers of the new and old students who attended the opening ceremony came in like thunder and waves. In their eyes, the magician Luna and the swordsman Tong Xi are both the proud son and daughter of heaven. At their most impulsive age, they don't understand and don't want to understand what it means to be low-key. You know, they also want to know who is more powerful between the two. The girl Luna has a cold personality and is not good at communicating with others, but she thinks that the magician is the most powerful. At this moment, the look towards Tong Xi was still full of awe-inspiring fighting spirit!
As the magic protective array on the field rose, an extremely exciting ring match began!
Cheng Qingjiu watched Jin Manshan use his authority to let two people fight in a friendly match, and then chatted with him openly to get close to him. Even when chatting with him, he opened a voting mode for students to participate and vote for the people they support.
Of course, one vote for one silver coin. Although
those silver coins will eventually become the public expenses of the college, you are the grandson of the dean, so doesn't the money belong to your family in the end?
In love, no matter who you vote for, you are the one who makes the most money in the end.
This guy made a fortune while chatting with Cheng Jiujiu. What kind of devilish economic idea is this? You really don't deserve your name! Not only are the magician girl Luna and the swordsman boy Tongxi fighting fiercely on the stage, but the voting and ranking off the stage are also extremely enthusiastic. If Tongxi simply represents the common people, she really has no fighting power. But don't forget that there are many nobles who are also swordsmen. This is not only a conflict between common people and nobles, but also a dignity issue between magicians and swordsmen! No one is willing to admit that they are weak, especially in the early stage, when magic and mental power are not enough, swordsmen are more popular.
