As the Q&A session began, the students were still a bit reserved, and no one felt comfortable being the first to ask a question.
On one hand, they were not familiar with each other and feared making a bad impression on the teachers. On the other hand, everyone knew that the most influential figures in the room were Lu Liang and Lin; without their cue, no one dared to speak up.
It was Fatty who was less concerned about these factors. For him, they were not an issue; after all, he was the third person with a voice in this situation.
"Teacher, I would like to ask about the admission standards for Second Academy in detail!"
Fatty raised his arm high, his eyes fixed on the Spirit Teacher, eagerly shouting out his question. His eyes were filled with intense desire.
Upon hearing this, Lin finally lifted his head and smiled lightly at Fatty's back.
Second Academy was the most suitable institution for Fatty; the courses in the Ranger Department seemed tailor-made for him. Lin had anticipated Fatty's decision.
Fatty was a very independent individual and quite rational, so Lin naturally chose not to intervene. He simply waited quietly for news of Fatty's acceptance.
Sure enough, when the Spirit Teacher saw Fatty speaking, he immediately smiled and walked over to him, a gleam of pride in his eyes.
While Lin and Lu Liang might not be able to secure Second Academy for themselves, they had to ensure that Chen Youliang was accepted this year!
Looking at this year's students from Azure Planet, Fatty was undoubtedly the strongest among them in terms of Ranger aptitude; in a sense, he was also a top contender!
The Ranger Department already had a low number of students, with even fewer high-level talents present. As for Top Talents, they were rare. Fatty Chen's High-Level Four Types aptitude was extremely close to being classified as Top Talent, making him a key focus of Second Academy's recruitment plan for Azure Planet.
"Chen Youliang, feel free to ask me any questions you have; I will provide detailed answers!"
The Spirit Teacher was exceptionally enthusiastic as he personally approached Fatty Chen's desk to address each of his inquiries comprehensively, leaving no detail overlooked.
Fatty and the Spirit Teacher engaged in lively conversation, with Fatty's lips stretching wide as he grinned from ear to ear.
Their enthusiastic discussion became a catalyst for the atmosphere in the room, prompting the remaining students to gradually begin asking their own questions.
In just over ten minutes, the atmosphere in the room had become lively, with students gathering in small groups around the Spirit Teacher and Gao Meng Teacher, asking a variety of questions.
...
The event was progressing smoothly. After half an hour, everyone except Lin and Lü Liang had already discussed their choices with the enrollment teachers and selected their academies.
There were four people present, yet they stood out awkwardly against the enthusiastic backdrop.
Two of them were naturally Lin and Lü Liang, who had not exchanged a single word throughout. Lin sat at the table pretending to doze off, while Lü Liang muttered to himself, casting a gaze at Lin that was almost terrifying in its intensity.
The other two were the Fourth Academy Teacher, who was looking up at the bulletin board, and the imposing Demon Teacher known as Shadow Clone.
The former had it the worst; not a single student had asked her a question from beginning to end, making her feel like an invisible person in the room.
The latter fared little better. Although two brave students mustered the courage to ask her a couple of questions, Shadow Clone's mood seemed poor, and she quickly dismissed them after just two exchanges.
In the end, the eighteen talented individuals were divided between the Second Academy and Third Academy. The Third Academy took the majority with fifteen students enrolled, while the Second Academy only had three students, all of whom possessed rare talents related to rangers.
...
At some point, the noise began to fade away, and the room returned to calm.
The now-quiet students turned their attention towards Lü Liang and Lin, who had remained silent. They knew that this was the shining moment for these two top talents!
Yet neither of them made any move; Lin appeared drowsy while Lü Liang seemed lost in thought.
Ultimately, it was Shadow Clone who could no longer hold back. He stepped forward with purpose, his hands slightly shaking behind him as his short coat rustled in response.
Shadow Clone positioned himself directly in front of Lü Liang and asked in a deep voice, "What are you two doing? Aren't you going to sign up?"
When that massive figure blocked his view, Lü Liang suddenly snapped back to reality. Blinking in surprise, he looked up and asked, "Has enrollment already started?"
Facing the Demon Teacher, Lu Liang did not exhibit the same awe as the other students. He casually looked at Shadow Clone's jaw, and his lazy demeanor made him appear like a delinquent student.
"Yes!" Shadow Clone frowned slightly, his words were brief and his tone was not pleasant.
"Then may I ask, which school are you from?"
Perhaps realizing that his attitude was inappropriate, Lu Liang stood up and faced Shadow Clone, displaying a sunny smile that made him seem relaxed.
"First Academy..."
The corner of Shadow Clone's eye twitched. He felt a flame ignite in his heart; after the speech he had just given for the two of them, this guy hadn't listened at all!
Talent Killer Lu Liang, you are quite arrogant! Don't fall into my hands, or else... I will make you understand what hellish training really is!
Shadow Clone maintained a calm expression, but in his heart, he had already locked Lu Liang away in hell.
"It's the Continuing Martial Arts Academy, right? Good, you don't need to say more. I'm here for the Continuing Martial Arts Academy; I've signed up!"
Lu Liang shrugged indifferently and then sat back down.
This infuriated Shadow Clone. He had prepared a lot of good words earlier to try to persuade this guy, but he never expected this attitude.
"Don't you want to know how our academy treats you? With your talent, you'll receive special treatment no matter which academy you go to..."
Taking a deep breath, Shadow Clone asked incredulously.
"I don't care; anyway, I can get what I want by myself..."
Lu Liang still wore an unconcerned expression. To outsiders, he appeared extremely arrogant! It was enough to provoke anger in others!
But for Lu Liang, this was perfectly normal; it was also a fact that he could obtain what he wanted on his own...
"Alright! Good job!"
Even though it didn't take much effort for Lu Liang to join the academy, Shadow Clone was not happy at all and was instead filled with anger!
He had always been the one to look down on others, but now this young brat was putting him in his place, standing before him with such an arrogant demeanor!
"And what about you? Kid!"
Shadow Clone turned his head again, looking at Lin, who was still pretending to be asleep, his tone already filled with irritation.
At this moment, Lu Liang also peeked out from beside Shadow Clone, casually suggesting like a child discussing playing games, "Lin, why don't you come to Continuing Martial Arts Academy with me? We can keep each other company!"
Upon hearing this, Lin finally slowly opened his eyes. He glanced lightly at Lu Liang and softly replied, "Sure!"
The conversation between the two was so casual, even somewhat amusing, yet it left everyone else feeling suffocated.
Is this what genius looks like? To casually enter the most powerful academy of Solar Ranger Academy just through banter?
"But I have a question..."
Lin twisted his stiff neck; resting on his arm earlier had made it feel a bit sore. Once he loosened up, he stood up and looked at Demon Teacher and Shadow Clone.
The attitudes of both made Shadow Clone's anger grow even more intense. He coldly said, "Ask your question!"
Shadow Clone had been holding back a lot of frustration; if these two continued to act so arrogantly, he might just have to teach them a lesson!
To the onlookers, Lin and Lu Liang seemed like they were cut from the same mold, exuding the kind of aura that true talents should possess.
Talent always comes with a bit of arrogance; the higher it is, the more pronounced it becomes. In everyone's mind, this was only natural.
Lin sniffed and stared into Shadow Clone's eyes, softly asking, "Does your academy have a culinary department?"
"What do you mean?"
The Shadow Clone suddenly trembled, and the anger in his heart was instantly doused with cold water. He stared at Lin in disbelief, his entire face turning green.
Is this guy messing with him? Asking such an idiotic question!
"I, from the Continuing Martial Arts Academy, is there a culinary department?"
Lin really thought the Shadow Clone hadn't heard clearly and repeated himself.
"Of course not!" the Shadow Clone answered loudly, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. How could the Solar Ranger Academy or the First Martial Arts Academy possibly have a culinary department!
Who wants to be a chef at the Warrior Academy anyway!
"Oh! Then I won't go."
With his lips pressed together, Lin's eyes dimmed slightly. As expected, this academy didn't have a culinary department; he had already anticipated that.
It seems that going to the First Academy is out of the question, and the time to confront those talented individuals will have to be postponed again...
