Special Recruitment Examination, Ding Yumin

Chapter 77 Special Recruitment Examination, Ding Yumin

"Xinxia, ​​are you planning to continue studying at the magic high school for another year, or...?"

At the dining table, Ling Tianyu and Xin Xia sat next to each other and asked.

"I've basically finished learning all the high school knowledge in my first and second years of high school, so there's not much point in going back to my third year. That's why I plan to apply directly to Zhejiang University!" Xinxia replied after a moment's thought.

"Apply directly to Zhejiang University?" Ling Tianyu was slightly surprised, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to make sense.

Ye Xinxia's cultivation has already reached the intermediate level, so staying another year wouldn't make much sense. It would be better for her to directly enjoy the resources within the academy specifically for intermediate-level cultivators.

"Yes, I've looked into their admission rules before. The special admission period is quite late, so it's not too late to apply now. Besides, their white magic department is famous throughout the country, and they even have several veteran teachers who have studied at Parthenon."

"I respect your choice!" Ling Tianyu nodded. In fact, with Xin Xia's intermediate level of healing cultivation, she would be in high demand wherever she went, whether it was to help with treatment at the hospital or to pursue further studies at a university. Ling Tianyu supported her decision.

"Brother Tianyu, what about you?" Ye Xinxia turned her head and asked.

"I took the special admission exam this afternoon and got directly into Pearl Academy!" Ling Tianyu said, taking a sip of congee.

"Good luck, Brother Tianyu! I heard that it's extremely difficult to get into a top magic university like Pearl Academy through the regular college entrance exam, let alone through special admissions!"

"Who told our Bo City to have this accident? We're definitely out of luck for the Magic College Entrance Examination this year!" Ling Tianyu shrugged, then put a piece of cake on Xin Xia's plate.

"But don't worry, my intermediate-level curse-type spells are no joke. As long as the admissions officers aren't as blind as some people, passing the cutoff shouldn't be a problem!"

The Pearl Academy offers special bonuses to three departments in its admissions process: Black Magic Curse, Dimensional Magic Space, and Summoning, similar to the bonus system for ethnic minorities in the original world.

After all, there aren't many people in the whole country who possess these legal systems!

However, Ling Tianyu possessed two of the three bonus points, and his Stardust strength far exceeded the minimum admission score of "sss" level Stardust strength!

…………

Ling Tianyu "arrived" at the interview location according to the interview time sent via his mobile phone.

To be honest, there were probably dozens of students who came to the Mingzhu Academy interview, and the line outside was quite long.

"That junior is really handsome!"

"Yeah, I think the top spot on our school's heartthrob list is about to change hands!"

"That's not necessarily true. I think this junior student will still have to take the special admission exam. What if he doesn't pass?"

"That's impossible! Someone as handsome as him must be incredibly skilled!"

"I feel the same way!"

"You bunch of infatuated girls, don't you see me? I'm unmoved by lust!"

"Put your phone down before you speak!"

…………

The moment Ling Tianyu appeared at Mingzhu Academy, he caused quite a stir. Many girls, mostly upperclassmen, either openly or pretending to be indifferent, were secretly glancing at him sideways. As for the boys, their reactions varied: some were jealous, some envious, and others…

Holy crap, there are preferences? My sexual orientation is normal!

Ling Tianyu's mental perception sensed some unspeakable thought, cough cough, anyway, he would definitely not agree.

Sigh, being too good-looking is a sin!

…………

As time passed, the line in front of Ling Tianyu grew shorter and shorter, with many students walking out one after another. Some were excited, clearly having been accepted, while others were disappointed, probably because their magical cultivation level did not meet the requirements and they were rejected.

Suddenly, Ling Tianyu noticed a fragrant scent wafting behind him, like a lotus pond after the rain, fresh and elegant without being intoxicating.

Driven by curiosity, Ling Tianyu turned his head, his pupils dilating in surprise.

"Ding Yumin?"

Ding Yumin was frowning, deep in thought, when suddenly she noticed the boy in front of her turn around and his face came into view, triggering a sudden wave of memories from a year ago.

"Yutian!"

Both of them were somewhat surprised. Ling Tianyu had guessed that Ding Yumin might be in the same year as him, but he did not expect that she had also entered Mingzhu Academy through a special admission exam and that she would happen to be in the same year as him.

Ding Yumin was completely taken aback. After their chance encounter a year ago, she thought she would never see him again, but unexpectedly, she met him again during the special recruitment exam at Mingzhu Academy.

Before the two could say anything, the teacher's voice came from inside the interview room, "Next!"

"We can talk about it later, I'm going to the interview now!" Ling Tianyu said.

"Okay!" Ding Yumin nodded.

…………

The five examiners from Mingzhu Academy sat in a line in front of Ling Tianyu, exuding a special sense of oppression. Perhaps this was the special kind of suppression that teachers exert on their students.

The five examiners from Pearl Academy asked some rather difficult questions about magical theory. After all, the school doesn't need brutes who only know how to cultivate and fight; having knowledge is also essential.

"Your name is Ling Tianyu, right? I heard you're a curse type? It's really rare to find a curse type member outside of the Zu family!" A male teacher wearing a bow tie remarked.

"Enough talk, let's test the stardust intensity first!" A bespectacled examiner pointed to the magic stone next to him.

"Uh, I'm already a mid-level mage! Can this stone hold up?" Ling Tianyu hesitated, and as he spoke, an extremely strange dark red light appeared around him, with an evil and cold aura spreading out.

"A mid-level curse user, well done! We'll take this student into our Pearl Academy!" The bespectacled middle-aged man pushed up his glasses and laughed loudly.

"There are quite a few curse students this year. Including this one, there are three! In previous years, there weren't any."

…………

The five examiners had no objections and unanimously agreed that Ling Tianyu should enter Mingzhu Academy.

"Next!"

Ling Tianyu's next stop was naturally Ding Yumin. She gracefully walked into the venue, and as she brushed past Ling Tianyu, she said, "Yutian, Tianyu, you've kept this from me for so long, you big liar! Wait for me outside, I have something to tell you."

…………

Ding Yumin's interview ended quickly, and she left Mingzhu Academy with Ling Tianyu. Their conversation still needed to be kept confidential.

Ding Yumin's outstanding appearance attracted many suitors and admirers, and Ling Tianyu was no less so. The two were a perfect match, attracting many eyes to stop and admire them, and it seemed that many hearts were broken.

The two arrived at a secluded alley and fell silent at first, as they hadn't seen each other for a year and were inevitably estranged.

"So, why did you tell me a fake name before?" Ding Yumin asked, her red lips slightly parted. "Was it because you were afraid that a weak woman like me would harm you?"

"Well, it's our first time meeting, and doing good deeds anonymously is my life motto."

Ling Tianyu nervously rubbed his hands together.

"Alright." Ding Yumin's main attention wasn't on that; she looked up at the sky, revealing her elegant, snow-white neck. "It's getting late, let me treat you to dinner!"

"No need!" Ling Tianyu refused.

"No, you saved me and I haven't even had a chance to repay you yet!" Ding Yumin insisted.

"Then you can owe it to me for now, we can talk about it later when we have time." Ling Tianyu hadn't forgotten that there was still a little canary left at home!

"Well... Yutian, can we add a contact method this time?" Ding Yumin said, emphasizing the word "Yutian" while playfully shaking her phone.
