Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

In the school auditorium, Wang Yi stood on the podium, meticulously delivering his speech.

There's no way there could be any emotion involved. The fact that Wang Yi could read this manuscript without any expression makes him feel like he's developed a very thick skin.

Wang Yi felt that the qualities revealed in the speech were too outstanding, too outstanding for him.

Old Jiang is really something. He could have just written a few welcoming words like "Welcome everyone to the school" to fill the space, but instead he created a persona for him and came up with so many inspiring maxims.

However, these students who had just entered the magic high school were clearly very receptive to this, and after the speech, Wang Yi received enthusiastic applause from the first-year students.

Back in his seat, Wang Yi quietly gave Jiang Yue the middle finger.

Wang Yi wouldn't have used his manuscript if he hadn't been unable to write it himself.

Wang Yi took a sip of water, then casually remarked to Qi Xiaohao beside him, "There are quite a few new students this year. Have the youth of Lanling City entered a period of great awakening?"

While giving his speech on stage, Wang Yi saw a large group of first-year high school students sitting there, estimating that there must be at least two hundred people.

It's worth noting that Wang Yi's grade had three classes, each with about thirty students, and the entire grade had less than a hundred students.

The number of students in the second and third years of high school is about the same, hovering around one hundred each.

The fact that it has suddenly doubled is quite surprising.

"It's all thanks to the celebrity effect," Qi Xiaohao chuckled and explained to Wang Yi.

"What celebrity effect?" Wang Yi racked his brains, thinking of everyone in the school, but couldn't think of any celebrities.

"Hey E-ge, you're the real star this holiday!" Qi Xiaohao reminded Wang Yi when he saw Wang Yi's bewildered expression.

"Damn it!" Wang Yi couldn't help but raise his hand and slap his forehead, utterly speechless.

His concept of the word "celebrity" is still stuck in the past, in the minds of those who were in the entertainment industry.

"So many students from other places? Coming to Lanling City to buy houses and land, just to go to the same school as me? Are you crazy?" Wang Yi couldn't understand.

The vast majority of students at Lanling City Magic High School are locals from Lanling City.

Of course, there are also some from nearby cities, or outsiders with ulterior motives, such as a certain medical mage who was recommended to the prestigious Magic University in Beijing.

Wang Yao was also admitted through a special admission program, but she was indeed a local resident of Lanling City.

Unlike the few magic universities, almost every city has its own magic high school to accommodate newly awakened mages.

Take Lanling Magic High School as an example. To get into Lanling Magic High School, firstly, you need to have decent grades; secondly, you need to have a clean family background; and finally, you need to be a local resident.

If you have a non-local household registration, then we need to talk about so-called school district housing.

The housing prices near Lanling Magic High School are not cheap, especially since mages generally prefer to live in villas for convenience in cultivating and studying magic.

A nearby villa would cost at least five million, and with the underground training room and custom-made furniture and other miscellaneous items, it easily cost close to ten million.

More than a hundred more freshmen have left this year; the villas near Lanling Magic High School must be in high demand.

The monk really spent money chasing after celebrities, but he didn't spend it wisely. In any case, Wang Yi didn't get a single penny.

Wang Yi did some quick mental calculations, thinking about how he had injected hundreds of millions of yuan into the real estate development of Lanling City, and wondered if he could ask the mayor for a reward.

Of course, it would be an exaggeration to say that these new students came to school because they were chasing after Wang Yi.

Perhaps it's because of Wang Yi, just like a school that has produced good students will attract more students.

However, the main reason is Principal Bai Jingting.

With an extraordinary master as the principal, there will be many people with ideas.

Previously, it was unknown that Bai Jingting's identity and rank were only known to certain levels within Lanling City.

However, Bai Jingting had no choice but to intervene in this spatial rift incident.

Although the overwhelming news coverage focused on Wang Yi, it wouldn't be difficult for someone with a keen eye to find out about Bai Jingting, the extraordinary principal.

These people were somewhat capable of finding out Bai Jingting's extraordinary level, but they weren't strong enough to understand why Bai Jingting would come to a magic high school to be the principal.

Perhaps it doesn't matter if we know, Bai Jingting's extraordinary strength is no joke.

And they certainly don't lack the money to buy a house.

Wouldn't it be a win-win situation to send the children who are of age to magic high school to Lanling Magic High School?

If we could take this opportunity to establish a relationship with the extraordinary mage, that would be ideal.

Even without any personal connection, having a supernatural mage as the principal should ensure a higher quality of education than a typical magic high school.

Even if the percentage of people who have this idea and are willing to put it into practice is very low, if the base is expanded to the whole country, it is still a considerable number.

From this perspective, the number of first-year high school students has only increased by a little over a hundred, which is already quite restrained.

Wang Yi expressed sympathy for the situation of an overwhelming number of new students.

Lanling Magic High School only has two guaranteed admission spots each year. With the number of junior students doubling, the competition among their parents is bound to be even fiercer.

Roll them up properly, both the small and the big ones.

The welcome ceremony for new students lasted less than two hours. It included a school introduction, speeches by school leaders, Wang Yi's address, and the school motto and ethos. Overall, it was packed with useful information and didn't drag on.

After the welcome party ended, Wang Yi, Qi Xiaohao, and others chatted as they left.

There were too many gazes coming from all directions, but fortunately, Wang Yi has gotten used to it quite a bit by now.

Even without the spatial rift incident, Wang Yi was always a prominent figure at Lanling Magic High School, and he always attracted attention from some people.

However, compared to before, Wang Yi's image has changed a lot and has begun to become more positive.

This is all the result of his hard work.

"Senior Wang Yi!"

As they were chatting, a clear voice suddenly rang out, and a tall, long-legged girl, nearly 1.8 meters tall and wearing combat uniform, pushed through the crowd and walked towards Wang Yi.

"Senior Wang Yi, Ji Qiyue, please take good care of me!" Ji Qiyue's handsome face was adorned with an excited smile.

Wang Yi didn't realize for a moment that after being a junior in high school for so long, it was his turn to become a senior.

He reached out and shook hands with Ji Qiyue. It was a long, strong hand, not soft, with hard calluses.

At this moment, a slightly taller male student with a similar appearance appeared behind Ji Qiyue: "Hello, senior."

"This is my younger brother, my twin brother," Ji Qiyue introduced. "I was born at 11:59 on July 31st, he was born one minute after me, and a month later."

"Oh, then you must be Ji Ba..." Qi Xiaohao said with a look of realization, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the other party with great skill.

"Ji Yuechu, please give me your guidance."
