Chapter 16

“Good, good.”

Fran still felt a bit smug. He could finally go to an advanced academy! However, taking care of Principal Baidiro’s daughter? Was she the same age as him?

Shouldn’t the principal’s daughter be studying in this school? He had never heard of anyone being the principal’s daughter in the past few years!

Did she graduate from another school and go to the Canglan Academy?

Fran had a hundred questions in his mind, and just as he was about to ask Baidiro, he saw that Baidiro had already taken Alina and Pegg to choose a school.

This was because the nine of them had each received an invitation from many different academies. Next, it was time for them to make their own choices. The principal naturally had to analyze with them which academy was better.

As for Fran, he had already been recruited by Canglan Academy, so he didn’t have to worry about choosing a school. He only needed to go back to prepare his things and report.

However, he wanted to see which schools the top 10 in the province had gone to. He might encounter them again in the professional competitions. Very quickly, everyone had chosen the academy they liked.

But to Fran’s surprise, apart from him, Alina and Pegg had both chosen Canglan Academy!

What was going on?

In this way, the top seven academies had students joining them, while the eighth and ninth ranked schools had not even gotten a chance. At first, everyone thought that Canglan had no other choice but to invite Fran, and they were secretly happy.

They didn’t expect that Alina and Pegg would also choose the Canglan Academy of their own accord. The faces of the teachers from the other academies were as ugly as if they had eaten sh*t.

Especially the two teachers from the academies that were ranked 8th and 9th. Not only did they not have a single student, they didn’t even have that trash who hadn’t changed his profession yet.

Sophie, on the other hand, was grinning from ear to ear! She didn’t expect that she would be the final winner after giving up the fight!

Of the three people who joined the Canglan Academy, Fran was the first, Pegg was the second, and Alina was the fifth. These were all outstanding figures who had both fame and fortune!

Moreover, Pegg and Alina were a swordsman and an assassin respectively, which was exactly what the academy wanted. Even if Fran couldn’t join, there were still two genius students!

This time, when she returned, she would definitely ask the principal to raise her salary!

“Why did you guys also choose the Canglan Academy?”

Fran was very curious.

“I just thought about what you said, and I think you’re right. Only hard training can improve my strength, so I also chose the Canglan Academy!”

Alina waved the invitation letter in her hand.

“How come you also chose Canglan? Didn’t you want to go to the Golden Eagle Academy?”

Pegg glared at Fran. “It’s none of your business!”

Seeing that he was still targeting him, Fran helplessly shrugged his shoulders. It was fine if he didn’t say anything. They would still be classmates in the academy anyway.

“The three of you, remember to report to Canglan in a month! I’ll be waiting for you at the academy!”

Sophie was in a good mood, shaking the data sheets of the three of them in her hand, “I’ll go back and create files for you first! Bye!”

“I’m going back to prepare for school. Fran, see you at the airport!”

Alina also put away the invitation and left the school. “Hmph!” Pegg snorted and disappeared from Fran’s sight. Looking at the invitation in his hand, Fran felt like he was in a dream.

It turned out that even a salted fish could make a comeback! He quickly went back and told his parents about his admission to the Canglan Academy. After Eller and Lina confirmed the admission invitation over and over again, they wanted to hang it on the wall.

“I remember that this Canglan Academy was the top college in the province a few years ago!”

Eller touched the invitation letter in his hand.

“It’s been overshadowed by a few other academies in the past few years. However, it’s really a blessing for people like us to be able to get into the top ten academies at the provincial level!”

“Our son has grown up!” Lina excitedly wiped away her tears and pulled Fran’s hand. She said earnestly, “Fran, you have to study hard when you go to the new academy! You have to keep it up, understand? If you’re short of money, you have to tell dad and mom. We’re not poor now. If there’s a scholarship, you can keep it for yourself. Dad and mom are not short of money.”

“I know. By the way, mom and dad, is there any empty space here? I want to practice my skills before school starts.”

Compared to the other students, he already had no talent. It all depended on skill proficiency and the mana bar that he could use infinitely.

However, he always felt that the skills he used during the test were not perfect. He didn’t want to go to a new academy and still be at the bottom.

“There’s an open space. The mountain behind Dameng is big, but wild beasts often appear there. I’ll ask Flora to take you there. She knows where it’s safe.”

The mountain behind Dameng used to be the place where Olly Academy trained its students, but because there was once a student who died there, the school changed all the middle school level training to virtual mode for safety reasons.

The mountain behind Dameng became a hunting ground for other people. Many people from the slums would form groups to enter the mountain. An earth-rank monster was worth 100 silver coins, which was a family’s monthly expenditure.

However, for these workers who had not changed their jobs, even Earth-grade beasts were extremely dangerous. As soon as Flora heard that she had to take her brother to the mountain behind Dameng for training, she immediately took on this mission.

Under Flora’s lead, the two of them passed through a winding path and entered the back mountain of Dameng. After walking for about half an hour, the two of them arrived at an open space.

Not only were there trees around them, but there was also a pool in the middle. The surrounding space was very large. Even if a wild beast were to attack them, it would be enough time for them to react.

“Flora, stay away from me. I’m afraid I’ll hurt you later.”

Fran observed the surrounding environment and found that it was indeed a good place to train. Hearing this, Flora quickly retreated to the side of the pool and found a stone to sit down.

Only then did Fran release his abilities. This time, he did not rely on the staff to gather magic. A palm-sized fireball soon appeared in his hand. Driven by his constant magic power, the fireball became bigger and bigger.

When it was twice the size of his palm, Fran pushed it out.

The fireball hit the tree in front of him and burst into flames. The tree was burned to ashes in just five seconds.

“Wow! Brother! You’re amazing! With just that one hit, that tree was burnt!”

Flora excitedly jumped up and clapped for Fran. This was the first time she had seen her brother use magic. It seemed that her brother was indeed very powerful!

Fran shook his head in disappointment. It’s too slow.

It took five seconds to burn a tree. If the opponent was a mobile enemy, these five seconds were more than enough for the opponent to put out the fire and even activate a skill to counterattack.

If the opponent was an assassin, they could still use teleportation to avoid the fireball attack. He was really too slow!
