“This time, I can witness the strength of the top three institutes in the country with my own eyes!” Moss was delighted when he received the invitation letters from the three top universities.
Moss had been paying attention to the news on the top three institutes’ websites since Weston told him they would invite the country’s elites who would take the exams to visit them.
He immediately signed up when he discovered the notice was out. Of course, not everyone who signed up was qualified to visit the top three institutes. The top three would select the most outstanding students and send them an invitation.
Moss looked at the time and hurriedly purchased a ticket to Shanghai.
…
When Moss arrived at Shanghai Institute, it made a big impression on him. It was as impressive as S Country’s fifth best, Taowu Institute. Moss thought Shanghai Institute looked like it belonged to the wealthy.
The 200 students that visited Shanghai Institute took the world’s most advanced land, sea, and air transportation for their journey.
“As expected of the top three institutes. This bus is so cool!”
“Indeed, viewing Shanghai Institute from the sky is even more shocking!”
“It’s so grand! I heard the top architects were in charge of designing the towering buildings. The institutes’ facilities are also the most advanced worldwide.”
“It seems Shanghai Institute lives up to its reputation as the most wealthy institute among the others!”
…
While everyone discussed, Wilson, the tour guide and deputy director of Shanghai Institute’s admissions office, brought the group of students to the exhibition hall.
When the students stood up, Wilson collected his thoughts and said elegantly, “Students, thank you again for applying to Shanghai Institute. Whoever gets the chance to attend our grand institute will be included in the S-grade talent training program upon admission. They will also receive S-grade learning resources.”
The students lost their composure upon hearing about the S-grade learning resources.
“The S-grade learning resources are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Moreover, the students who Shanghai Institute accepts will be the elite among elites.”
“I can predict high-level powerhouses beckoning me in the not-so-distant future!”
“It’s settled then. Unfortunately, Shanghai Institute won’t accept me!”
…
Indeed, every institute competed for learning resources, which could not compare to money. Top-tier institutes like Shanghai were irresistible to most students because they possessed resources and money.
“In addition, students who make it to Shanghai Institute will be rewarded with four million yuan. We also offer generous scholarships every year,” Wilson calmly said, as if the four million yuan were nothing but mere numbers in his mind.
Wilson was a tall, middle-aged man who descended from western ancestry. His pair of azure blue eyes and flowing blonde hair were attention-grabbing. After saying those few words, his image became loftier to the students.
When Wilson passionately explained Shanghai Institute’s history, anticipation filled the students’ eyes as they saw the institute’s name above the towering building.
“I’ve finally stepped into Shanghai Institute!”
“This place meets all my needs. It would be my great honor to study here for four years!”
“I’m so looking forward to attending this institute! I can hear the four million yuan calling my name!”
…
A subtle smile flashed across Wilson’s face when he heard the students’ discussions. He cleared his throat and said in an attractive tone, “I’m looking forward to the excellent results you will achieve during your time here.
“Similarly, I hope you apply to Shanghai Institute and use all your wisdom and abilities to create a beautiful future for us and yourselves!”
The students applauded when Wilson finished speaking.
…
After Moss visited Shanghai Institute, he immediately rushed toward Shuimu Institute without looking back. Shuimu was relatively close to Kyoto and was also one of the two oldest institutes in the country.
Shuimu was famous in the country and abroad. Therefore, it attracted more than 300 outstanding students from all over the country to visit.
Moss followed the group of students with great interest. He was deeply shocked by Shuimu’s research, resources, and faculty. The vast majority of students present were also in awe, like Moss.
The staff mentioned that every student who attended Shuimu would be under a master instructor who would give a one-on-one lesson in each class, matched with intermediate powerhouses above level 50.
In addition, the staff also mentioned that Shuimu would not lack scholarships, equipment, and learning resources and that they would adjust each year according to the student’s situation to ensure they could complete their studies more efficiently.
…
Shuimu’s technological style and unique resources moved Moss. Still, he preferred Kyoto’s humanistic atmosphere. In particular, he was impressed by Sofia and President Monte.
The tour guide for Kyoto was no other than Sofia. Moss felt a sense of familiarity when he saw Sofia’s distinct golden ponytail.
“Dear students, another feather of Kyoto Institute is our club activities.” Sofia pointed at some of the club announcements on the bulletin board. With a proud smile, she continued, “So far, Kyoto has 58 clubs, each with its own high-level powerhouse professor to guide them.”
The students began to discuss among themselves.
“Each club has its own high-level powerhouse as guides. That’s impressive!”
“Yeah, high-level powerhouses are usually level 60 or above!”
The already shocked students became even more shocked by Sofia’s words.
However, they calmed down when they heard about Kyoto Institute’s long history and systematic learning resources because the other two institutes also had them.
Although, there was only a tiny gap between Kyoto and the other two institutes. Still, Kyoto was unique because it possessed more intermediate and advanced powerhouses.
“As expected of a top-not institute that possessed the most formidable faculty,” Moss muttered as he looked at the bulletin board.
“Hey, are you here to check out Kyoto Institute too?” A clear and melodious voice sounded from beside Moss.
Moss turned slightly and saw a delicate and refined female student wearing a chrysanthemum-yellow dress with a head full of purple hair looking at him with sparkling clear eyes.
Moss had never seen such an elegant and beautiful girl in his life. He looked around and confirmed that the girl was talking to him before nodding.
“I’m Nat from L Country’s Number One High,” as she spoke, she stretched out her hand and continued, “Did you receive invitations from these three institutes too?”
Moss noticed Nat wanted to shake his hand and thought it was sudden. Still, he replied with an outstretched hand, “Hello, I’m Moss from White Deer High.”
“Oh, I see.” Nat’s eyes glinted as she revealed a charming smile and continued, “I’ve set my sights on Kyoto Institute. I look forward to studying alongside you if fate allows it.”
Then she revealed a sweet smile and turned to chat with Sofia.
Moss simply nodded. He seemed to see a trace of anticipation when he looked at Nat’s slender back, recalling her gaze from a moment ago.
