Chapter 62: Better Not to Recruit
The Dragon Nation has a total of five top-tier academies.
Xuanyuan Academy.
Tianwu Academy.
Seven Stars Academy.
Xuanming Academy.
Mosters Academy.
This Mosters Academy was established as a joint venture between the Dragon Nation and a foreign country.
The admission officers from these five top-tier academies sat in the front row of the conference room, leisurely drinking tea.
Even though they were just admission officers, their levels were between eighty and ninety.
And these were just administrative staff!
If it were the real combat instructors, they would undoubtedly be over level 100 and four-turn powerhouses!
This is the strength of top-tier academies!
Absolutely not comparable to ordinary academies.
Some other key academies, such as Dongling Academy, Bingpo Academy, Luocheng Academy, etc., naturally also arrived.
But their target was not Wang Chen.
Instead, they aimed at some other students with good grades.
Because they knew that as the top scorer in the province, Wang Chen would definitely be fought over by top-tier academies.
When the results were announced yesterday afternoon.
It really shocked the entire South State.
Those provincial prodigies who were highly anticipated couldn't compete with Wang Chen, a little commoner from Dongyun City.
This was a huge upset.
Moreover...
The underground dark gambling market was in an uproar.
For these gamblers, the annual vocational high school entrance exam could also be a betting opportunity.
But who could have predicted such an outcome!
The bookies made a huge profit because none of the prodigies that people bet on won the top provincial scorer title.
Many gamblers jumped off buildings in despair last night.
Some even cursed Wang Chen and his family, and some directly placed bounties on Wang Chen's life.
Wang Chen's rise to fame also brought along some minor troubles.
The results were just released yesterday.
Today, these admission officers crossed several large provinces, traveling tens of millions of kilometers, to the small city of Dongyun.
Since many game maps had descended into reality, the land area of this planet had greatly expanded.
But fortunately, with the existence of space teleportation stations, even distances of tens of millions of kilometers could be covered in a day.
The admission officers rushed over as soon as they received the principal's directive.
Moreover...
Live broadcasts of the vocational high school entrance exams were not allowed to be recorded or transmitted on-site.
Anyone entering the examination site for observation had to undergo a full-body check, and no electronic or magical technology devices were allowed inside.
As a result, there were no videos of Wang Chen's exam on the internet.
However, discussions about Wang Chen were very lively on the Dongyun City internet forums.
At the moment.
The admission officers arrived in such a hurry.
Wang Chen's exam battle videos hadn't been transmitted to the databases of the major combat academies, so these admission officers still had no information about Wang Chen.
But since he was the top scorer in South State, he must be excellent.
"Principal Zhao, please bring up Wang Chen's basic information. We came in a hurry, and it's laughable to say, but we know nothing about this excellent student Wang Chen..."
The admission officer from Mosters Academy was a man from the Free Federation, named Hubert Iz, a level 92 Mage King.
A Mage King is the third-turn of a mage, with the second-turn being a Grand Magus.
"Okay, I'll bring Wang Chen's information right away!"
Zhao Longjun nodded.
Soon...
Information about Wang Chen was distributed to each admission officer.
And when these admission officers glanced at Wang Chen's information, most of them frowned.
Especially Hubert, whose face turned unpleasant.
The information clearly stated that Wang Chen's contracted beast: Little Azure Python (second-tier ordinary beast).
This...
What the hell!
When they saw that Wang Chen's profession was Beastmaster, their eyes lit up.
A Beastmaster who could win the top scorer title must have a top-tier spiritual beast, right?
After all, Beastmaster is a universally recognized weak profession.
On the profession strength ranking list, it has always been at the bottom.
Its weakness is due to three reasons.
First, experience points are split with the beast, making leveling up extremely slow.
Second, the Beastmaster has few attack skills and weak self-preservation abilities, heavily relying on the beast for protection.
Third, the beast determines the profession's combat power. In other words, if the beast is strong, so is the Beastmaster. If the beast is weak, the Beastmaster remains weak even at level 100 and four-turn.
Now.
They assumed Wang Chen's contracted beast must be a top-tier spiritual beast or even a source beast.
But unexpectedly... a second-tier ordinary beast?
What is this nonsense!
Zhao Longjun noticed the confusion among the admission officers and quickly explained: "Dear teachers, Wang Chen's beast is a mutant. Although it's just a second-tier ordinary beast, its combat power is not inferior to a source beast!"
"Really?"
The teachers were full of doubt.
Hubert from Mosters Academy shook his head and said solemnly: "Nonsense! Even if a second-tier ordinary beast's bloodline mutates, at best it can reach the level of a profound beast. How could it be comparable to a source beast?"
Hearing this.
Many admission officers nodded slowly.
Hubert was not wrong.
Only the female teacher from Xuanyuan Academy, named Gu Lan, seemed thoughtful as she looked at the information without speaking.
"Mr. Hubert, what I said is true..." Zhao Longjun naturally wanted to continue explaining.
"Principal Zhao, don't worry, I do not deny Wang Chen's talent and strength."
Hubert waved his hand lightly and said: "For Wang Chen to win the top scorer title with a second-tier ordinary beast, it proves his strength. But you know, the first beast is extremely important for a Beastmaster."
"I'll be blunt. Let Wang Chen cancel the contract with Little Azure Python. Our Mosters Academy will provide a fifth-tier spiritual beast for him. Otherwise, we will leave immediately!"
Hearing this.
The college students accompanying Hubert quickly chimed in.
"Mr. Hubert is right. Contracting a trash beast despite having such talent is the most foolish act!"
"Make him cancel the contract, or he can't join our Mosters Academy!"
"Beastmasters already level up slowly, and splitting experience with a second-tier ordinary beast is self-destructive!"
These students were about to enter their second year in college.
Now that the semester was over, they followed these admission officers to recruit new students, earning some credits in the process.
Hubert's words were harsh.
Either cancel the contract.
Or they would leave immediately!
They had no interest in recruiting a talented person who would likely fail halfway due to his arrogance.
