Enrollment Exam Great Demon King

Dongfang Chen set off for the Imperial Capital with Ye Xin Xia and Mu Ningxue.

As Dongfang Chen's most devoted Cotton Quilt, Ye Xin Xia naturally chose to take the entrance exam for the same Magic Academy as him.

Ye Xin Xia's first awakened element was the Healing Element, a unique branch of Light Magic that every academy was eager to recruit.

So Ye Xin Xia planned to wait until Dongfang Chen had chosen the school he liked, then choose the same one.

However, Ye Xin Xia wasn't planning to apply this year. Since Dongfang Chen would have to take a year off even if he got into a Magic Academy, she decided to wait until the following year to take the exam.

With his Innate All Element talent and his specialization in the Space Element, Dongfang Chen could have gotten into any Magic Academy in the country through special admission.

But the system required him to take the entrance exam in person, so he couldn't just slack off.

After arriving in the Imperial Capital, Dongfang Chen spent two days getting lovey-dovey with Mu Ningxue while she kept him company.

Then Mu Ningxue returned to school to register.

Dongfang Chen went straight to the Imperial Capital Magic Academy to take its entrance exam.

Most Magic Academies followed a standard procedure for their entrance exams.

Applicants had to take a written Magic Knowledge test, have the strength of their Star Dust Star Map tested, and participate in a Combat Test.

The written Magic Knowledge test was a bit difficult for Dongfang Chen. Although he had lived in this world for eighteen years, his thinking was still shaped by the world he had come from.

Some basic facts about the Magic World seemed absurd to Dongfang Chen.

For instance, everyday appliances like computers and cell phones were primarily built around Magic Array Diagrams, which left him completely baffled.

Fortunately, after Ye Xin Xia tutored him, Dongfang Chen used his powerful Soul Power to force himself to memorize all that knowledge. In the end, he passed the written Magic Knowledge test without too much trouble.

The following Star Dust Star Map Strength Test went without saying.

Few students managed to reach Novice Level 3 by the time of the college entrance exams. As an Intermediate Level Mage, Dongfang Chen passed with ease.

The final Combat Test was also easy for Dongfang Chen.

The test pitted applicants against the Summoned Beast of an Intermediate Level Summoning Element instructor.

Using a Commander Level Summoned Beast for the test was already considered quite challenging.

But the moment Dongfang Chen used Intermediate Magic—Space Rhythm—the instructor proctor dropped to his knees.

He had spent who knew how much time and money raising that Commander Level Summoned Beast. He couldn't let some applicant kill it just like that!

And if this applicant had Intermediate Level cultivation in the Space Element, he should've said so sooner! The Imperial Capital Magic Academy was the number-one school in the country, sure, but a student as exceptionally talented as him was more than qualified for special admission!

The exam went perfectly, but the system never gave him a notification. So Dongfang Chen knew that the Imperial Capital Magic Academy wasn't the "Jia Nan Academy" the system had mentioned.

Looks like he wouldn't be able to go to school with Xuexue.

Dongfang Chen turned and left without a moment's hesitation.

The teachers in the admissions office were stunned.

Someone had actually passed the Imperial Capital Magic Academy's entrance exam and then given up on enrolling? What was he thinking?

After leaving the Imperial Capital, Dongfang Chen went to Hangzhou.

He had originally planned to visit the closer Magic City first, but Tang Yue had moved from Bocheng to Hangzhou. Since he was a local, he naturally had to show her around.

Tang Yue was also from Hangzhou, but ever since joining the Hangcheng Lingyin Temple Judgment Department, she had been constantly traveling around.

So she had barely had a chance to properly explore Hangzhou.

Naturally, the job of showing her around fell to Dongfang Chen.

While they were out, Dongfang Chen also helped Tang Yue complete a mission and obtained a Fire Element Spirit Seed, Mei Yan.

Dongfang Chen had no use for Fire Element Spirit Seeds anymore.

The flames he had refined with the Flame Mantra were all at least Soul Seed level.

Tang Yue already had a Spirit Seed of her own, so Dongfang Chen casually gave the little Mei Yan to someone from the Dongfang Family.

As for Mofan, all Dongfang Chen could do was wish him luck finding another Spirit Seed.

After spending a few days with Tang Yue in Hangzhou, Dongfang Chen went to Magic City to take the Mingzhu Magic Academy entrance exam.

While he was in Hangzhou, Dongfang Chen had also found time to take the Hangzhou Magic Academy entrance exam, but that still wasn't the "Jia Nan Academy" the system had mentioned.

Dongfang Chen had thought he might have to travel all over the country to find the system's so-called "Jia Nan Academy." But to his surprise, as soon as he finished the Mingzhu Magic Academy entrance exam, a notification appeared.

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully completed the Jia Nan Academy entrance exam. Take a year's leave from the school to complete the mission!]

Dongfang Chen stared blankly. He hadn't expected Mingzhu Magic Academy to be "Jia Nan Academy." If he'd known, he would've come to Magic City to take the exam first.

Seeing Dongfang Chen spacing out,

the teachers from the Mingzhu Magic Academy admissions office began to feel uneasy.

This applicant had become famous among the admissions offices of the various academies recently.

He was famous not only for his monstrous magical talent, but also for his "whims."

They'd heard that after getting the top score on the Imperial Capital Magic Academy entrance exam, he'd simply turned around and left, with no intention of enrolling there.

When he then went to take the Hangzhou Magic Academy entrance exam, the school's principal had secretly rejoiced.

A genius like this hadn't enrolled at the Imperial Capital Magic Academy, but had come to our Hangzhou Magic Academy instead? We've hit the jackpot!

But the principal of the Hangzhou Magic Academy hadn't expected Dongfang Chen to turn around and leave again after passing their entrance exam.

It had left the principal furious.

But the problem was that Dongfang Chen hadn't been specially admitted. He'd passed the regular entrance exam fair and square.

Whether he enrolled was up to him. There was nothing they could do about it.

Now this guy had come to the Mingzhu Magic Academy, and once again earned the top score on the entrance exam. Could it be that he was going to...

Seeing Dongfang Chen spacing out, a teacher from the admissions office asked him nervously.

"Student Dongfang, what do you think of our Mingzhu Magic Academy? Our school may rank a little below the Imperial Capital Magic Academy, but our teaching quality and resources are just as good."

Dongfang Chen came back to himself.

"No problem. I'm willing to enroll at your school."

Hearing Dongfang Chen's definite answer, several teachers from the admissions office were moved to tears. Thank goodness! Their admissions targets for the year were finally within reach!

"But I have one condition."

"Go ahead and ask for whatever you want!" the teacher from the admissions office said excitedly.

Dongfang Chen said, a little awkwardly, "I'd like to take a year off. Is that okay?"

"Huh?"
