Seems Like I've Been Abandoned

The ten key combat academies are as follows.

Huaqing Academy.

Cangying Academy.

Tiandong Academy.

Tianyan Academy.

Bingpo Academy.

Hastings Academy.

Haowu Academy.

Luochen Academy.

Qixing Academy.

Fanzhou Academy.

These ten key combat academies are far superior to other ordinary combat academies, both in terms of faculty strength and teaching environment.

It is no wonder the admissions officers from these key academies are so arrogant.

They truly have the capital to be arrogant.

Consequently, the students who follow them have also become arrogant.

However, there are currently two key academies missing their admissions officers in the conference room.

One is Tianyan Academy.

The other is Hastings Academy.

Could it be that people from these two academies don't want to recruit the top scorer? That's impossible!

All the leaders and teachers of First High School thought to themselves.

Every year, teachers from these combat academies fight tooth and nail to snatch up the top scorers from each province.

How could two academies be missing all of a sudden this year?

Something is wrong.

Something is very wrong.

Just as the principal, leaders, and teachers were frowning, Mu Yutian, the admissions officer from Huaqing Academy, spoke up.

His indifferent voice echoed:

"By the way, I forgot to tell Principal Zhong. The admissions officer from Hastings Academy called me to say they aren't coming."

Principal Zhong Wenshan was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Teacher Mu, may I ask why Hastings Academy isn't coming?"

"I wouldn't know about that."

Mu Yutian gently set down his teacup, crossed his hands, rested his chin on them, and smiled. "Anyway, let me state my position first: if this Jobless Freelancer wants to come to my Huaqing Academy, he must agree to my two conditions."

"First, accept reassignment."

"Second, change his class immediately."

"If he doesn't agree to these two conditions, then my Huaqing Academy won't even bother looking at this Jobless Freelancer."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the leaders and teachers at First High School sank.

The teachers from the other key academies raised their eyebrows slightly but said nothing.

Clearly, they seemed to share the same general opinion as Mu Yutian.

A Jobless Freelancer has absolutely no future.

This is a recognized fact.

As everyone knows, a Jobless Freelancer cannot learn high-level skills.

This is because 95% of high-level skills carry class restrictions.

For example, the high-level skill [Sunset Stars (A+)] can only be learned by a Mage who has completed their second class advancement, an Elemental Mage.

Under these circumstances, it means a Jobless Freelancer can only use primary class skills to fight enemies.

Primary class skills are indeed useful in the low-level trial secret realms of the entrance examinations.

But.

That is only in low-level trial secret realms.

The trial secret realms for the entrance examinations are only at Level 10-something. Once they enter a major academy in the future, the secret realms they will have to explore will likely start at Level 20 at the very least!

By that time, what are you going to do as a Jobless Freelancer? Go in and tickle the mobs?

Many people were shocked that Ling Zhan had captured the top spot on the Nanzhou Province Trial Ranking as a Jobless Freelancer.

But these teachers from major academies look much further ahead.

They value a student's future.

Not the present.

Therefore, Ling Zhan's status as a Jobless Freelancer is actually a joke.

"Hehe! This... this can't be said like that. King Yama Zhou has seen Ling Zhan's performance with his own eyes and gave him a very high evaluation, which also shows that Ling Zhan is very likely to shine in the future..." Principal Zhong Wenshan forced a smile, trying to save face for his student.

"That's right, King Yama Zhou also praised my student highly." Qi Mu quickly nodded in agreement.

However.

Mu Yutian shook his head and chuckled, saying, "Alright, you don't need to use King Yama Zhou as a shield. When it comes to our recruitment, King Yama Zhou has no say."

"Speaking of Ling Zhan, doesn't your school also have Sun Ze, who entered the provincial top 100? By comparison, I am actually more interested in Sun Ze."

As soon as this was said, Sun Ze walked out with his head held high and a confident expression, greeting Mu Yutian respectfully: "Hello, Teacher Mu, I am Sun Ze."

"Not bad. The Archer class has strong solo-clearing capabilities and can also serve as a physical core output for a team. The fact that you can master this class shows that your talent value is very high," Mu Yutian said with a nod and a smile.

"It's not that high, my talent value is only 90," Sun Ze said modestly.

But having received Mu Yutian's praise, he still looked quite proud.

The confidence that had been crushed by Ling Zhan seemed to be completely revived at this moment.

The level of talent value actually indicates a person's proficiency in a class.

The higher the talent value, the higher the proficiency in that class.

When comprehending the skills of that class, it is also easier to master them.

A student with a higher talent value might only need two hours to learn and master a skill.

Whereas a student with a lower talent value might need two or three days to learn the same skill.

To put it plainly, talent value is equivalent to potential value.

Of course, this doesn't mean that someone with a high talent value is definitely strong, but rather that someone with a high talent value is more worth cultivating.

And it is easier to cultivate them into a powerful expert.

"Sorry, I had something to take care of at home, I'm late. Hello, teachers..."

At this moment.

The door suddenly opened.

Su Rou walked in, panting slightly.

Su Rou's entrance made the male college students in the conference room narrow their eyes.

Today, Su Rou was wearing light gray trousers and a short-sleeved shirt with a wolf-head pattern on the upper body.

She was youthful, lively, and carried a sense of heroic spirit.

The key was that she wore her hair in twin tails, and her pretty face was as rosy as an apple, making the boys present want to take a bite.

A beautiful junior!

"Hehe, let me introduce her. This student is named Su Rou, she is also my student and received an SS-rank evaluation in this class advancement trial."

Qi Mu, of course, hurriedly introduced her to the admissions officers.

"So it's an SS-rank..."

For a moment, some of the admissions officers from the key academies lost interest.

But the other first-class academies were interested.

Just as the other first-class academies wanted to ask, Mu Yutian spoke up again, arrogant and calm: "Student Su Rou, may I ask what your class is?"

"Teacher, I am a female Assassin," Su Rou replied.

"And your talent value?"

"78."

"Good, a fine seedling!"

Mu Yutian smiled and said, "Both you and Sun Ze are good seedlings, a hundred times better than that Ling Zhan. Are you willing to come to my Huaqing Academy to study?"

As soon as these words fell, the expressions of the other teachers present changed.

Damn it.

This Mu Yutian actually wants to take both of these seedlings! He is simply shameless.

"Old Mu, isn't this going a bit too far? Student Su Rou, my Haowu Academy is willing to give you a set of purple-grade beginner gear, plus a B-grade female Assassin skill book. How about coming to study with me?"

"Student Sun Ze, my Tiandong Academy is willing to give you a B-grade resource secret realm, and additionally a B+-grade Archer skill book. Come to me."

"Enough. Tiandong Academy and Haowu Academy, haven't your academy league rankings been at the bottom for the past few years? You have the title of a key academy but can't even compare to a first-class academy. How are you even embarrassed to speak?"

"If you ask me, you should choose my Cangying Academy. I am willing to gift them two Level 20 purple-grade weapons on top of their original offers!"

For a time, all the teachers from the key academies were fighting over Sun Ze and Su Rou.

As for Ling Zhan, the provincial trial champion, he seemed to have been completely abandoned.
