Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 96 The Clan Head's Deep Regret (Please read on!!!)
Bai Tingting clearly looked incredulous.

"Oh no!" Ai Tutu exclaimed anxiously, this was completely different from what she had imagined!

Shouldn't Jiang Yuan have gotten angry and started frantically explaining himself?
Now they've shot themselves in the foot.

"We are truly innocent!" To protect her own and Mu-jie's reputation, Ai Tutu could only keep explaining.

Although Bai Tingting and Ding Yumin said they believed her, their expressions showed no sign of belief whatsoever.

"If you say that, won't they misunderstand?" Mu Nujiao whispered to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan shrugged: "It wasn't Ai Tutu who tried to trick me first. I just went along with it to teach her a lesson."

"Then why did you bring me along?" Mu Nujiao rolled her beautiful eyes at Jiang Yuan.

"I was just going along with her, I just blurted it out," Jiang Yuan said with a laugh.

If anyone else had said these words, Mu Nujiao would definitely have been angry, but since Jiang Yuan said them, she didn't feel offended.

On the contrary, there was a sliver of hope in my heart that I would do so?

Mu Nujiao didn't understand either.

She felt that she was paying more and more attention to Jiang Yuan, and becoming more and more curious about him, and unconsciously she would think about many things.

But I can't control it.

Mu Nujiao took a deep breath and looked out the window at the scenery that kept flashing by.

"Let nature take its course," she thought.

...............

After a period of driving, the vehicles of the Mingzhu Academy admissions team entered Xinxi City.

"This is our first student recruited this time, named Zhang Xin, who ranks first in the region," Mu Nujiao said, taking out a file.

Jiang Yuan picked up the documents and began to read them.

He is a member of a small family and a mid-level mage. He first awakened the fire element and is currently at the mid-level level 1. He then awakened the wind element and is currently at the initial level 1.

During the magic practice, I used a wind and fire synergy spell, which greatly increased the power of fire magic, and therefore I received a high score.

From this perspective, it seems that being ranked first in the region is well-deserved.

“Let’s go, let’s go straight to his family,” Jiang Yuan said.

According to the address on the document, they soon arrived at the Zhang family's residence in Xinxi City.

Although it was just a small family, their residence was quite grand, comparable to the Mu family of Bocheng.

"May I ask who you are?" Zhang's gatekeepers greeted them.

"The Pearl Academy Admissions Team," Bai Tingting introduced herself.

The gatekeeper dared not delay and hurriedly went into the manor to report. Soon after, a middle-aged or elderly man dressed in a butler's uniform came out to greet him.

"I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner. Please come in with me." The butler stepped aside, gesturing for Jiang Yuan and the others to enter.

The group proceeded to the reception room.

The butler gestured for them to sit down and served them tea, saying, "The head of the family has some important matters to attend to. He will be here shortly. Please wait a moment."

Jiang Yuan and the others weren't in a hurry; they drank tea and waited.

After a while, the stern-faced and tall Zhang family head entered the reception room.

As soon as he entered, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, admissions officers, something came up and I was delayed."

“It’s alright, Patriarch Zhang. We didn’t wait long. We’re here to discuss Zhang Xin’s admission to a prestigious university,” Jiang Yuan said, standing up.

"Well," the Zhang family head said, sitting down in a chair with a troubled expression, "My son isn't home right now, and as his father, I can't make a decision for him on my own. How about we wait until he comes back, and I'll contact you again?"

Although he pretended very well, Jiang Yuan could tell at a glance that he was lying.

The three most famous universities in the country are: Imperial Capital University, Pearl University, and Demon Capital University. It seems that the Zhang family head didn't fancy Pearl University, but rather the highest-ranking university—Imperial Capital University.

Since that's the case, there's no need to stay any longer.

Jiang Yuan stood up abruptly and said calmly, "Then I'll take my leave."

Seeing that Jiang Yuan was so sensible, the Zhang family head breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Jiang Yuan was an admissions teacher at Mingzhu Academy, and he couldn't afford to offend him.

The head of the Zhang family quickly got up and was about to escort Jiang Yuan and the others to the outside of the manor.

Jiang Yuan declined the offer and left without even leaving his contact information.

Upon arriving outside the manor, Jiang Yuan said, "Let's execute Zhang Xin and move on to the next one."

"Huh? Why?" Mu Nujiao asked in confusion.

“If others look down on our Pearl Academy, I wouldn’t bother recruiting someone like him,” Jiang Yuan said with a shake of his head and a smile.

Anyway, Dean Xiao said before he left that if they could recruit, they should, and if they couldn't, so be it.

A truly good university should be able to transform ordinary students into geniuses.

Instead of scrambling to recruit genius students while ignoring those with mediocre abilities, and then grandly claiming that all the students in their academy are exceptional geniuses, and that the academy is the one that nurtured them.

Here, I'd like to specifically criticize a certain Master Yu.

"Alright." Hearing this, Mu Nujiao had no choice but to cross Zhang Xin's name off the list.

………………

Inside the Zhang Family Manor.

"Dad, I heard from the housekeeper that a college admissions team has arrived?" Zhang Xin asked as he entered the study.

"Yes, they were admissions officers from Mingzhu Academy. I sent them away," the Zhang family head replied without looking up.

"What?! How did you manage to get rid of them?!" Zhang Xin exclaimed incredulously.

"What's wrong? Is something amiss?" The Zhang family head looked up curiously and asked.
"Mingzhu Academy is only ranked second in the country, far behind Imperial Capital Academy. The most outstanding students are all at Imperial Capital Academy."

“You’re number one, so of course you should go to the Imperial Academy. I sent them away because I was afraid the Imperial Academy would misunderstand.”

"Dad, don't you know?"

"Know what?" The Zhang family head was increasingly confused.

“During the recent inter-academy competition, a student from Pearl Academy single-handedly overwhelmed everyone from the Capital Academy, and the Capital Academy students were powerless to resist!” Zhang Xin said.

"No way? How could Pearl Academy have such a powerful student? Such a student should be at the Imperial Capital Academy, right? It's the other way around!"

The son's words defied the common sense expected of the Zhang family head.

"How could that not be! Many people in the country are saying that the student from Mingzhu Academy is the number one genius mage in the country. Dad, if you don't believe me, just ask around. A lot of people know about it!" Zhang Xin said anxiously.

He was really anxious.

Because of Jiangyuan, many people now want to go to Mingzhu University.

Previously, universities in the capital were the top choice; now, Mingzhu University is the top choice.

An academy that can cultivate the country's top genius mage must be very strong!
Which student who has just embarked on the path of magic doesn't want to be crowned with the title of "the number one genius mage in the country"?

The head of the Zhang family, somewhat skeptical, sent someone to inquire about it.

Sure enough, it turned out exactly as my son had said!
"Oh no, they're gone. I can't reach them, I can't get in touch with them."

The head of the Zhang family hadn't paid attention to whether Jiang Yuan had left his contact information.

It's too late now that you've realized it.
