Chapter 20: Three Old Men, An Admissions Blunder

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

During the start-of-school season every year, the major academies were extremely busy. The magic test before school started alone took an entire week, not to mention others!

Youths of nobles, civilians, Dragon People, Dragon Beasts, and other intelligent races gathered en masse in the capital city, participating in this great event that changed their own fate!

Nobody who had ambitions to practice magic wanted to miss it!

People came and went endlessly.

On the Dragon God Square, apart from the youths who took part in the test, their family members, and the testing staff, another special group was present—the teachers in charge of admissions in the various academies!

Not far from the magic testing point, several dozens “stalls” scattered around. Each stall had banners erected in front of them, indicating their identities. There were “Fire Dragon Magic Academy”, “Dragon God Paladin Academy”, “Kellner Great Axe Academy”, and so on!

These stalls were the admission points of the various academies!

Currently, at one corner of the admissions point, three old men in purple magic robes were lying on their chairs, chatting idly.

An old man with messy hair and rosacea on his nose released an alcoholic burp, saying weakly, “It’s the last day of the magic test, and there doesn’t seem to be any more geniuses! Alas, this old man has been handling admissions for so many years, yet this year is my biggest failure! ”

After that was said, an old man with a horn on top of his head and a black piece of scale between his brows was immediately dissatisfied. “Carls, you still have the face to complain? You got so many quality students again this year. If I were you, I’d wake up in my dream, laughing. This poor old man accompanies you both every year in vain...”

Upon hearing that, another bald old man snorted coldly. “Nonsense! Old thing, you’ve been accompanying us in vain? What do you say about Ordos then? Don’t you forget that the strongest genius this year was robbed away by your Dragon People Academy!”

Having said this, the bald old man sighed. “I’m the one who actually accompanies you both in vain every year. I watch one genius after another get taken away by you both, it’s really... heartbreaking!”

The one-horned old man glared at the bald old man and said lightly, “However good Ordos’s talent is, he’s just one person. How can he compare to all those geniuses taken away by Carls! Sigh...”

“Old thing, you’ve gotten the better deal, stop complaining!”

The old man with rosacea snorted. “You know better than anyone else that geniuses are prized for their quality, not numbers. One Ordos can match a few dozens of ordinary geniuses! Tsk, tsk, double superior-grade of Light-Element and Wind-Element, 88 times the spiritual power of same-age peers. It’s so crazy!”

“Exactly! If it’s possible, I would rather exchange all the students I got this year for Ordos!”

The bald man agreed deeply. “If a genius like Ordos is properly cultivated, it’s a sure thing for him to become a Ninth-Grade Magician Mentor, or even...”

He didn’t speak the rest of the sentence, but both the old man with rosacea and the one-horned old man understood his meaning. Talent such as Ordos’ had the prospect of reaching the Saint Domain!

The Saint Domain!

What kind of existence was that?

How many ordinary alumni were one Saint Domain alumni comparable to?

“It’s a pity that such a genius is pretty much wasted being put into your Dragon People Academy!” The old man with rosacea said angrily, “He should come to our Fire Dragon Academy. Only Fire Dragon Academy can give him the best educational environment!”

Upon hearing that, the one-horned old man immediately blew his beard and stared. “Old man, stop talking sh*t! Our Dragon People Academy isn’t much worse than your Fire Dragon Academy, if not for—”

“Teacher! Hurry! Another genius has appeared!”

While the three old men were arguing heatedly, a young man in a magic robe suddenly appeared and spoke, panting.

“What?”

“Another genius appeared?’

The three old men’s eyes stared at each other before they got up from the chairs in a swoosh and looked at the young man in a magic robe together. “What level of genius, how’s the talent?”

“Elemental Affinity: Superior-Grade Thunder-Element! Spiritual Power: 100 times that of same-age peers!” The young man in the magic robe continued. “Comprehensive evaluation—”

Before he finished his words, the three old men directly dashed past him, knocking the young man to the side, and he stumbled onto the ground!

“What is this, not even letting me finish speaking!”

The young man in the magic robe got up from the ground and complained, rubbing his buttocks. But he could completely understand the behavior of the three teachers. After all, this super-genius was... crazily amazing!

“Elemental Affinity: Thunder-Element... Superior-Grade!”

“Spiritual Power: 100 times that of same-age peers!”

“Oh my god!”

“Such talent is not bad even compared to Ordos!”

“Mine! He belongs to our Fire Dragon Magic Academy!”

“No! He belongs to our Douglas Magic Academy!”

“You’re daydreaming! To have such talent, it must be one of our Dragon People. He’ll surely join our Dragon People Magic Academy!”

“What about Dragon People? This old man is sure to succeed!”

“Move aside!”

“Move aside, all!”

“...”

Presently, Meng Lei was enjoying people’s envy and jealousy. He didn’t quite mind it. After all, this was what he expected!

“Brother Meng Lei, you’re amazing!”

Jonah, Joseph, and Andrew also approached and looked at Meng Lei full of envy, their eyes shining like they were full of little stars. Although they did not quite understand the meaning of Meng Lei’s talent, the shock and amazement that everyone around them expressed could explain a lot!

Meng Lei was a genius that everyone envied!

“Move! Move off!”

“Where is the genius...”

Right then, the three hasty old men squeezed into the crowd and looked around with their faces full of anxiousness. In the end, all their gazes fell on a young Dragon Man beside the spiritual tester!

This Dragon Man youth was dressed in a splendid silk robe, had black wings behind his back, and looked handsome and mighty. The appearance alone was pretty good!

“You are the genius?”

The old man with rosacea grabbed the shoulder of the young Dragon Man and said extremely anxiously, “Hello, hello! I’m the teacher in charge of admissions at the Fire Dragon Magic Academy this year. I’m called Carls!

“I sincerely invite you to join our Fire Dragon Magic Academy!

“So long as you join, your tuition, living expenses, water, material fees, and all other costs would all be spared. At the same time, you will enjoy a scholarship of 1,000... No, 2,000 gold coins per year...”

The old man with rosacea talked non-stop about various benefits before he was interrupted by the bald old man. He pushed the old man with rosacea aside and said in one breath, “Hello, Genius. I’m the admissions teacher of Douglas Magic Academy! I sincerely invite you to join the Douglas Magic Academy. So long as you join, school fees and scholarships can all easily be discussed!”

“Stop bullshitt*ng here, you guys! He’s a Dragon Man, he by right belongs to our Dragon People Magic Academy!”

The one-horned old man forcefully squeezed the bald old man away, smiling as bright as a flower. “Hello, I’m from Dragon People Magic Academy...”

When looking at the three extremely passionate old men, everyone around looked at each other and didn’t know what to say any more.

Meng Lei is the genius. What are all of you doing, inviting the young Dragon Man?

What a blunder!

Meng Lei also felt quite bemused, but he... could understand!

Since ancient times, Dragon People who inherited the bloodline of Colossal Dragons indeed had better magic talent than the human race. Also, they had a much higher probability of producing geniuses, while the biggest reason the human race produced geniuses was still... its huge population base!

It was completely reasonable that the three admission officer teachers had gotten the wrong person!
