I Thought He Was Pretending to Be Weak, but He Evolved into a Kun! All Showboating Shall Be Brought to Justice!
Watching the two people leave quickly, Andy nodded slightly, his gaze appreciative.
"Interesting."
"Young Master Andy, what do you want?" the maid asked with concern.
"I originally came to this school because of Lioz, who was rumored to have gotten perfect scores in all subjects, but what attracted me next was ' Golden Princess ' Dia Lan. I thought these two would be my main rivals."
Andy said calmly, "But now it seems that Lioz is nothing. Look at his stiff expression and lazy tone. Even his two lackeys have more of a student-like demeanor than him. Considering that all his benefits were canceled, he probably got into school through connections."
"Lioz is nothing to fear."
"My classroom performance was disappointing, and my actual communication was even worse. But on the bright side, it also reduced my competition."
His eyes were fixed intently, as if he were determined to win.
"Lioz, the ' Golden Princess ' Dia Lan, the 'Alchemy Magic Exam Top Scorer ' Shao Zexing, the ' Crystal Witch ' Melvitte; Cristo, the ' Wind Singer '; and Gerr, the ' Moon Worshipper '."
"It's strange, really."
"These six people were originally designated by the Ministry of Education to study at the Saint Academy, but for some reason, they have all been scattered and assigned to the thirteen colleges and universities in Trivella."
After a moment's thought, the maid smiled and said, "If Lioz is like this, it means that these originally chosen candidates are probably all a bit unreliable, right?"
"Let's wait and see. We must not underestimate our opponent. No opponent can be judged by a single sentence."
Andy said calmly, "However, Lioz is a real dud. After just a few classes, there are very few people in the history of the academy who can get negative Credits. I estimate that his exam results will be exposed soon."
"Moreover, Mr. Andy, you have an event with Verrazzi this afternoon."
"I remember, this time it was with Miss Nalia, right?" Andy's tone immediately became serious when he mentioned Verrazzi: "Miss Nalia is the 219th ranked lady in Verrazzi. Although her talent and power are insignificant in Verrazzi, she is still quite meaningful for improving our family's bloodline."
Of course, the most crucial point is that Nalia's half-brother, Andrew Verrazzi, is a truly important figure.
Who is that? Just looking at their resume is enough to make ordinary people tremble with fear.
[The Plunder Soul] Red King's Blesser.
The successor of Verrazzi Company.
At only 120 years old, he reached the Zeta-rank and inherited a full 17% of the Green Swamp Dragon bloodline from his father.
This prince will definitely enter Narrative-level Civilization and become a member of the ruling class in the future.
If you win over Nalia, you'll have a chance to get in touch with Andrew.
Rumor has it that even just meeting the Blesser once can grant them a share of divine power protecting capitalism. If they can sit down for a meal, and go even further, the Blesser might chat with them about some 'trivial' 'little things' or vent their frustrations. Once the relationship deepens, one can imagine the benefits their workshop will receive!
Besides, the headquarters in Verrazzi will change leadership sooner or later.
Once this prince ascends to the chairman's throne, he will surely begin to build his business empire.
Moreover, this was his only chance to step into Narrative-level Civilization.
The Temple of Annihilation is a single-ethnic group, the Heroes Empire is a technological narrative and not very friendly to magic, only the United Company is in their best interest.
Moreover, the "United Company" is also eager to tap into the Galaxy Eye market...
If he succeeds, it will be a double achievement of entering the pass and following the dragon, making his entry into the "United Company" a sure thing.
Andy's eyes were bright and piercing.
From this day forward, our family will surely have a bright future!
"This is so wonderful!"
Li Aoz had already walked quite a distance and was getting his food at the cafeteria.
Although he currently has -5 Credits, his status as a debtor does not prevent him from eating the free meals provided.
"It's so wonderful that there are no cafeteria ladies serving food!"
He scooped up a large spoonful of pineapple stir-fried with meat, a dish made with tropical fruit that is quite rare on the Azure Planet.
That's the good thing about student-run schools; you don't have to worry about the cafeteria staff making mistakes and you can eat as much as you want.
Seeing the two of them jogging over, Li Aoz casually asked, "Why did it take you so long to get here?"
"Lioz, do you know who you just messed with? That's Morodia— "
"Hey, never mind all that. Morodia or Tanzania, it's lunchtime now."
Li Aoz handed the plates to the two of them, completely unconcerned about the matter:
"Come on, have a good meal. You'll have the energy to use your brain when you're full."
"You, well, that's true, let's not talk about this anymore." Hobbes scratched his head. "Anyway, we've taken care of things for you. If we run into the Morodia family again, we'll just take a detour and avoid them."
"What are you talking about, 'crispy and crunchy'? I don't understand at all."
While eating, Li Aoz was racking his brains trying to figure out how to dig out the Walkthrough he had only glanced at.
Fortunately, his intelligence has improved considerably, and by organizing his thoughts, he finally found some information.
Hobbes and Lucite sat down and began to discuss issues related to Credits.
Lucite said with distress:
"Even if we get all the questions right in class and exams, we can only earn 10 points a day at most. This semester has 210 days, and compared with the less than 3,000 points we calculated for major courses and electives, we are still a few hundred points short."
"There's no other way but to start with commissioned tasks and club activities." Hobbes also did the math and realized the actual situation was definitely more serious.
"By the way, Hobbes, have you decided which club you want to join?"
"Me? My family is in the pharmaceutical business, so I'd like to join the Magic Potion Club. Do you and Lioz have any ideas?"
Hobbes's mention of this cheered me up a bit:
"I've heard that the clubs at our school are pretty good, with low entry requirements, so it's easy to get in. Of course, whether they stay is another matter."
"Then I'm thinking of joining either the Combat Club or the Alchemy Club." Lucite showed off his muscular physique and jet-black armor. "That's one good thing about us Silus Race – we're born with Magic Resistance Constitution. Those newbies' spells barely scratch me. Uh, of course, something like the Dragon Titan's spells are just too ridiculous..."
"The Combat Club is also a big favorite, and they get a lot of points. The Alchemy Club would be even more impressive." Hobbes sighed, "It's a pity, the Alchemy Club is too difficult to get into."
Lucite swallowed a bass and asked in confusion, "Huh, aren't alchemy projects quite common? Is there anything special about this Alchemy Club?"
"Because our school has few workshops."
Hobbes tapped the plate and complained:
"We have few workshops, but many people want to join the Alchemy Club. Alchemy without practical experience in a workshop is just like theoretical knowledge, and it's not qualified to be written on a resume. Therefore, everyone is scrambling to join the Alchemy Club. After all, judging from the way that club provides practical experience, it involves contact with teachers and long-term practice—basically, it's equivalent to securing a stable position in a workshop."
"That's great? Isn't that practically a guaranteed admission?" Lucite exclaimed. "Then I'll give it a try too. I got a perfect score in alchemy in my magic exam, so maybe I'm good at it too."
"Don't even think about it." Hobbes shook his head. "I already inquired before I entered the school. The Alchemy Club is now completely controlled by the upperclassmen Student Union. It's almost impossible for freshmen to join the Alchemy Club."
"How could that be..." Lucite's eyes dimmed, then he suddenly realized the other person's wording and asked, "But you said 'almost,' so there must be exceptions, right?"
"Yes, as far as I know, there are indeed some freshmen who have successfully joined the club."
Hobbes opened a small notebook he carried with him, flipped through it, and said:
"There are only two ways for freshmen to join the Alchemy Club: First, you have to ask someone for help. If you know someone who is Student Union member, you can give them some benefits and they might be able to get you in."
Lucite exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, isn't this just the routine of officialdom...?"
Hobbes shrugged:
"Look at what you're saying. Public universities are part of the government system. If the Student Union doesn't follow official rules, what does it follow?"
"No, no, I want to be an upright and honest person," Lucite said with disgust.
"Where can you find integrity these days? If an official doesn't seek personal gain or wealth, then he's just hoping to leave a name in history. Only someone with no political achievements would want to leave a reputation for 'cleanliness and honesty'."
"Alright, alright, leave me some room for imagination." Lucite shook his head. "Then, tell me about the second one?"
"This second method is even more difficult."
Hobbes continued, "The president of the Alchemy Club, known as ' Purple Eyes ' Rachel Jubos, regularly distributes three personal invitation cards. As long as you have the card, you can officially join the Alchemy Club as the 'President's Assistant.' The advantage is that the Alchemy Club recognizes the card, not the person; whoever gets the card can join."
"It doesn't sound too difficult." Lucite's eyes lit up. "I can try to collect information from business cards. Collecting business cards is much more acceptable than directly currying favor with student bureaucrats."
"You think it's simple, right?"
Hobbes said pitifully:
"She's a lesbian woman who's extremely picky about looks. Only extremely beautiful and lovely women can get her personal invitation card, and being pretty isn't enough; they must also have enough knowledge."
Hobbes's words ruthlessly shattered his illusions. "Let me describe to you just how difficult this is."
"Unless you can find a woman who is exceptionally talented, beautiful, virtuous, and beautiful to seduce Rachel and then get her to give you this invaluable business card, which is equivalent to a guarantee of admission to the Alchemy Workshops, this is absolutely impossible!"
"Besides, a beautiful and intelligent woman like her could easily join the Alchemy Club even without a business card. She wouldn't stoop so low as to seduce Rachel with you. What woman would do such a thing? Absolutely not!"
"As you've seen, the competition in the first year is extremely fierce and the pressure is immense. Even if you did find a girl willing to cooperate with you and got her business card, who would give up such a precious spot? Therefore, fundamentally speaking, it's absolutely impossible!"
Smack
Li Aoz placed a purple business card on the table and asked in confusion, "Is this what you're talking about?"
