"They just left like that? I haven't seen enough of them yet," Ai Tutu said, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.

"If they don't leave, what are they doing here? Waiting to get beaten up?" Lin Chen shrugged and shouted loudly as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

They hadn't gone far when Lin Tingyu and Dongfang Ming realized that Lin Chen's loud shout was meant for them, so they quickened their pace and moved away from the area.

"I didn't expect your reputation to have lasted so long; people still remember you now." Mu Nujiao paused, watching Lin Tingyu and Dongfang Ming's departing figures, and continued, "Dongfang Ming's strength is not bad either, and Lin Tingyu's boss, Zhou Shuming, is also quite powerful. They may not be able to deal with you head-on, but I'm afraid they might try to trip you up."

Lin Chen shrugged and said nonchalantly, "So-called geniuses are either utterly defeated in front of me or run away every day. And once they run away, they can only look up at my back from behind."

"Where did you learn that from? It sounds so pretentious." Ai Tutu looked at Lin Chen with surprise.

"Can't I just say what I feel?" Lin Chen asked.

"Okay, but it doesn't look like it." Ai Tutu didn't give Lin Chen any face at all.

Lin Chen felt that he was being looked down upon.

After saying goodbye to Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu, Lin Chen headed straight for the dean's office, where he happened to run into Mo Fan, who had also been summoned by Dean Xiao.

"Lin Chen, I didn't expect the dean to call you here too. If I'm not mistaken, it should be about the quota that Councilor Zhu Meng mentioned," Mo Fan said.

"I think so." Lin Chen nodded.

"Dean Xiao, Lin Chen and I are here to report for duty."

As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, Mo Fan didn't even knock on the door. He pushed open the door to the dean's office as if he were entering his own home.

Inside the dean's office were eight or nine teachers and student council members of considerable rank, who were staring blankly at Mo Fan and Lin Chen, who had walked in without any regard for etiquette.

Just as the teachers standing in the dean's office were about to angrily rebuke Mo Fan and Lin Chen for not knowing the rules, Dean Xiao's voice rang in their ears.

"You can all go back now. I'll call this meeting again later."

The teachers and students were initially bewildered, but as one teacher recalled Lin Chen's deeds and muttered a few words under his breath, everyone suddenly understood and left the dean's office.

"You two!" Dean Xiao shook his head and said, "I'm a dean, after all. Next time you come into my office, please knock first."

"Okay." Mo Fan nodded.

Dean Xiao carefully examined Mo Fan, a relieved smile appearing on his face: "Are you alright?"

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Dean. I'm fine. It's just that I haven't seen you for so long and I miss you," Mo Fan said with a smile.

"Lin Chen still has faith in you. When everyone else had no news of you and thought you might be dead, only Lin Chen believed you were still alive," Dean Xiao said.

"Of course, we're both geniuses. Geniuses always understand other geniuses and have confidence in them," Mo Fan praised.

"However, it's truly a miracle that you survived the demon's backlash. It's all our fault for not protecting you properly, causing you to suffer undeserved pain. So, even after learning that you were safe, I still had Zhan Kong tell the public that you were dead," Dean Xiao said.

"It's all my own fault. If I had kept a low profile, there wouldn't have been so much trouble. But thankfully, it was a close call, and I'm still able to go back to school," Mo Fan said.

Dean Xiao nodded and said, "You two should focus on your training at the school during this time. When the time is right, I will allow you two to join the National Team. I hope you two can bring glory to our Pearl Academy and achieve outstanding performance in the World University Competition."

"World University Competition, what is this?" Mo Fan asked curiously.

"Don't you even know if you're a student or not? Besides, the Hangzhou Trial Committee has already strongly recommended you to be a slated player for the National Team." Dean Xiao raised an eyebrow, somewhat speechless.

"So that's what that spot refers to. Didn't Councilor Zhu Meng say Lin Chen also had one?" Mo Fan asked. "That's right. Your spot still needs to be audited, but Lin Chen's is practically a done deal. He was nominated by the Magic Capital's Judgment Council, the Magic Association, the Hunter's Alliance, and the military." Dean Xiao looked at Lin Chen with satisfaction: "You're really hiding your true potential. Your ceiling is so high. You'd better be careful in the future, lest you end up in the same situation as Mo Fan."

"I already encountered it, but I dealt with it." Lin Chen smiled slightly.

"Dean, Lin Chen, what kind of riddle are you two playing? Tell me." Mo Fan was very curious. What had Lin Chen done to make so many forces willingly recommend him? His gaze swept back and forth between Lin Chen and Dean Xiao.

"Lin Chen, like you, saved the Magic City, but for Lin Chen's safety, the specific details will be kept confidential." Dean Xiao smiled at Mo Fan and continued, "Your task now is to work hard."

Strive to break through to the high-level mage level.

"Okay," Lin Chen replied.

Mo Fan initially wanted to refuse, as he didn't want to do something so strenuous and unpleasant. However, seeing that Lin Chen had already agreed, he felt that if he didn't agree, he would be too unwise. Besides, since Lin Chen was involved, he had to help his brother Pe.

Seeing Mo Fan reluctantly agree, Dean Xiao shook his head helplessly. All the major powers were fighting tooth and nail for these spots, and Mo Fan was still so disdainful. If they found out, they would be furious.

"It's nothing, you can go back now." After Dean Xiao finished explaining his business, he prepared to see Lin Chen and Mo Fan off.

"Wait a minute, Dean Xiao, I want to switch departments. The Summoning Department can't even field a full football team. How about you transfer me to the Fire Department? There are more people there, it should be lively." Mo Fan said with ill intent, "By the way, Lin Chen, your second department is also Fire, right? Why don't you switch with me? Let's dominate the Fire Department together."

Dean Xiao felt a headache coming on. He rubbed his temples. There were so few people in the Summoning Department, and Lin Chen had already caused so much trouble. Mo Fan was clearly no pushover either. If they went to the Fire Department together, he would surely cause a huge uproar.

However, Mo Fan's words were not without reason. There were many fire-type people, and the competition was fierce. Cultivating there was not a bad thing. Moreover, Lin Chen's summoning skills were probably unmatched by any teacher in the entire school.

Just when Dean Xiao and Mo Fan thought Lin Chen would agree, Lin Chen's answer surprised them both.

"I'm not going."
