Chapter 380
Apply for Graduation
Ernst College, Dormitory 1994.
"What! Aatrox, no, Zhou Xian, you said you want to apply for graduation?" Anderson and the other two suddenly widened their eyes, their faces full of disbelief, staring at Zhou Xian, as if they had heard some fairy tale.
You know, this is Ernst College, the number one magic college in Yulan Continent, and the minimum standard for graduating from here is to reach the level of a sixth-level magician.
Because of this, you can often see seniors in the academy who are still studying hard in their forties, studying magic day and night in order to meet graduation requirements.
"Well, there's nothing more that Ernst College can teach me. I want to venture out to a wider continent and see the outside world." Zhou Xian looked calm, but his tone revealed an unquestionable firmness.
"Wait, this is not right!" Anderson's eyes widened instantly, full of suspicion, "Weren't you just a level 2 magician before? How did you suddenly break through to level 6? How is this possible!"
He stared at Zhou Xian with a sharp gaze, as if this matter would never be over unless Zhou Xian gave a reasonable explanation today.
"Who said I'm a second-level magician?"
Zhou Xian looked innocent, spread his hands, and his face was full of confusion.
Anderson frowned and raised his voice to refute: "You defeated Dixie before, and everyone guessed at that time that you must be a second-level magician..."
Halfway through his words, his voice became smaller and smaller, and his confidence gradually weakened. Thinking back carefully, Zhou Xian had indeed never personally admitted that he was a second-level magician. Everything was just unwarranted speculation by everyone.
"Ya... Zhou Xian, what level of magician are you now?"
Dio frowned, his eyes full of complicated expressions. Although he was unwilling to believe that Zhou Xian had reached the graduation standard, curiosity still drove him to ask, with a barely perceptible expectation and nervousness in his tone.
"Well, all you need to know is that I am absolutely sure I can pass the graduation exam."
Zhou Xian waved his hand, with a mysterious smile on his face, and did not directly respond to the question. He knew that the strength he had shown now was enough to surprise people. If he revealed his true strength, the three roommates who lived with him day and night would be shocked and even go crazy.
Even though Zhou Xian didn't say it explicitly, the three of them were still overwhelmed with great shock and felt dazed. A ten-year-old sixth-level magician? This was unheard of in the long history of the continent, and there was no record of it at all. Zhou Xian had created history!
They couldn't help but look at this familiar yet unfamiliar roommate again and again, with mixed feelings in their hearts. They were shocked by his talent, but also secretly looking forward to the waves he would create in the mainland in the future.
Zhou Xian had a confident smile on his face and said briskly, "I'll go submit my application first. If it's approved, I'll treat you tonight. We won't leave until we're drunk!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the dormitory. His figure quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor and walked towards the teaching building with a relaxed pace.
"Let's go and take a look together!"
Anderson spoke first with excitement in his eyes. The other two understood, looked at each other, and followed without hesitation.
This was a moment to witness history, and no one wanted to miss it. They all knew that if Zhou Xian really passed the graduation exam, they would have something to brag about in the future.
In the teaching building, in the light magic classroom. As soon as Zhou Xian stepped into the classroom, the instructor who was passionately teaching the light magic class suddenly stopped his endless explanation, his face full of surprise, and his eyes fell directly on Zhou Xian, who had not appeared in the classroom for a long time.
"It's Aatrox. You haven't attended my magic class for a while. I was wondering if you've lost interest in light magic. Now that you're here, sit down and listen to the class."
A gentle smile appeared on the face of the light instructor, and he nodded slightly, not minding Zhou Xian's sudden intrusion at all.
He was recognized as the academy's number one genius with amazing talent. It was not surprising that he was a bit eccentric in his daily life, so everyone was always more tolerant and expectant of him.
Although the students below were somewhat dissatisfied, after all, Zhou Xian's sudden appearance interrupted the original rhythm of the class. But everyone knew that the person in front of them was a genuine genius, and a magic prodigy that was rarely seen in a thousand years.
The gap in talent is there, and even if there are complaints in the heart, one can only swallow the dissatisfaction silently, and his eyes can't help but reveal a complex look of envy and jealousy.
"No need, Mr. Weiss." Zhou Xian bowed slightly, his expression respectful and firm, "I came here this time to apply for graduation. Thank you for your careful care of me these days, and I will remember it in my heart."
His eyes were steady, and his words were filled with maturity and confidence beyond his age. He looked completely different from the casual self he usually displayed in the dormitory.
"Apply for graduation? Such a trivial matter... huh? What did you say?" Weiss's originally casual expression froze in an instant. He widened his eyes and stared at Zhou Xian in disbelief. His eyes were full of astonishment, as if he was repeatedly confirming in his heart whether he had heard it wrong.
"Well, I want to apply for graduation."
Zhou Xian looked calm and nodded firmly.
Suddenly, the whole classroom seemed to have been bombed. The originally quiet classroom suddenly exploded, with exclamations and discussions one after another. The students whispered to each other, their faces full of shock and disbelief, and countless pairs of eyes focused on Zhou Xian, as if they were re-examining this familiar yet unfamiliar classmate.
"Is Aatrox crazy? The graduation standard is to have the strength of a sixth-level magician! Does he think this is a joke?" A student said loudly with a look of disdain on his face and curled his lips.
"Humph, who knows. Maybe he just wants to attract attention and do some tricks to attract popularity. If he really has that ability, why would he wait until now?" Another student folded his arms, sneered and echoed, his eyes full of jealousy.
Normally, these students were dissatisfied with the genius Zhou Xian and were jealous of his outstanding talent and highly regarded status.
Now Zhou Xian's seemingly "overestimating one's own abilities" move to apply for graduation just gave them a chance to vent their jealousy. So, the sourness and resentment hidden in their hearts on weekdays poured out like a flood, and everyone whispered to each other, their words full of ridicule and disdain.
"Quiet!"
Weiss had a gloomy face and scolded in a low and authoritative voice. The classroom suddenly became quiet and no one dared to speak anymore.
Then, he looked at Zhou Xian seriously, with a look of scrutiny and questioning, and said in a serious tone: "Aatrox, do you know the requirements for graduation? This is not something you can decide on impulse."
