Chapter 104: Peak Clubs Extend Invitations! Vice President Position!

The Magic Capital Institute of Esoteric Abilities has five colleges.

They are the Element College, Weaponry College, Tactics College, Support College, and Logistics College.

After the first three colleges finished their introductions, the deans of the Support and Logistics Colleges also began presenting their own.

The Support College admits only students who have awakened support-type esoteric abilities.

The Logistics College accepts esotericists willing to pursue paths in equipment manufacturing or alchemy.

There are no restrictions on the type of esoteric ability.

Among all five colleges, the Support and Logistics Colleges have the fewest students.

Yet they remain two vital core components of the school.

After all, every adventurer team requires at least one support-type esotericist.

Moreover, many of the equipment and pills sold by the Magic Capital Institute originate from the Logistics College.

Without the Logistics College, the equipment and potions listed on the school’s official website would cost at least half as much more.

“Alright, the introductions of the five colleges are complete. Please register your college on the school’s official website.”

Dean Sun said from the podium.

On the playground.

Everyone, including Xu Jingming, pulled out their phones, logged into the school’s official website, and began selecting their colleges.

Xu Jingming had already chosen Dean Yang Zhentian of the Weaponry College as his dedicated mentor, so he naturally selected the Weaponry College.

This does not mean he can only attend Weaponry College courses.

In the future, he may also choose to audit classes at the Element College.

“Class assignment complete. S-rank student Xu Jingming.

You are assigned to Weaponry College, Freshman Class (2), with Su Yu as your class advisor.”

After selecting a college, the school’s website automatically assigned his class and advisor, and a notification popped up.

Looking at the notification on his phone, Xu Jingming understood.

The Magic Capital Institute of Esoteric Abilities does not group all top-ranked students together like high school elite classes.

Instead, classes are assigned randomly.

Then again, university courses are open to all; everyone has the same instructors.

And since there’s no Wu Ke college entrance exam, there’s no need to establish elite classes.

“Jingming, which class were you assigned to?” Song Qiuyun called from behind.

“Weaponry College, Freshman Class (2). What about you?” Xu Jingming replied.

“Element College, Freshman Class (3).”

Song Qiuyun could have chosen either Element or Weaponry College.

But since her halberd proficiency had already reached Advanced level, she wouldn’t break through to Master level anytime soon.

Moreover, she wanted to learn more spell-based combat techniques, so she chose Element College.

When Li Chengzhi, ranked third, heard Xu Jingming was in Weaponry Class (2), he sighed in relief.

Good thing he was in Class (4)—if they’d been in the same class, the pressure would’ve been unbearable.

Three minutes later, the college assignment ceremony was nearly over.

Dean Sun stepped forward again:

“College assignment is complete. Tonight, each class’s advisor will invite you into your class group chat.

Additionally, students who performed well in the Freshman Competition will receive a mentor invitation from their dedicated mentor tonight.

Please check your messages carefully—don’t miss it.

That concludes the opening ceremony and the Freshman Competition. Everyone, return to your dorms and rest.”

Dean Sun immediately dismissed the assembly.

Exhausted freshmen streamed toward the playground exits.

Along the way, they naturally began discussing today’s battles and rankings.

Some spoke happily; others sighed.

“This year’s freshmen are way stronger than ours!”

“True, especially the top freshman, Xu Jingming—he’s already Second Stage Upper Tier.

In another year or two, he’ll dominate every student in the entire school!”

“Scary. Good thing I’m graduating in two years.”

“...”

The spectator stands around the playground.

As upperclassmen rose to leave, they couldn’t help but exchange sighs of emotion.

A prodigy like Xu Jingming, once he rises, will inevitably become the brightest new star.

Everyone else of his generation will merely serve as his backdrop.

The spectators rose to leave, but the recruitment teams of various clubs, who had waited nearly all day, now sprang into action.

Ordinary clubs didn’t care—they just needed any new students to join.

Elite clubs headed straight for the top fifty freshmen.

The two peak clubs, Ashes and Meteor, both walked directly toward Xu Jingming.

Elsewhere on the spectator stands, Jiang Chu’s slender figure with her white hair.

After bidding farewell to her roommates, she stood up with an expectant expression and walked toward the playground.

“Finally over. Let’s go eat together.”

Among the crowd heading for the exit, Xu Jingming smiled at Song Qiuyun and the others.

From the 9 a.m. opening ceremony to now, after the Freshman Competition, they hadn’t eaten a single thing.

Though as esotericists, skipping one meal doesn’t matter much.

But Xu Jingming’s appetite is larger than average, and he’d fought several battles today.

Even if he hadn’t expended much energy, he was now hungry.

“Sure! Let the new king treat us, how about that?” Song Qiuyun winked playfully.

“No problem. Once we get to the restaurant, order whatever you want.”

Xu Jingming smiled.

Winning first place in the Freshman Competition meant he’d soon receive a space ring with a capacity of ten cubic meters—he was in high spirits.

“If Ming-ge is treating? We’ve gotta drink something tonight.”

Liu Wentao and Qi Dongxia also grinned.

“Then let’s go to ‘Qingya Restaurant.’”

After dining there once with Song Qiuyun, Xu Jingming had found the food delicious.

He’d taken his cousin there yesterday too—tonight’s gathering was best held there.

Just as Xu Jingming decided where to eat, a group of four men hurried over from afar.

The tall, slender youth at the front waved from a distance:

“Student Xu, wait a moment.”

“Who are you?” Xu Jingming frowned at the newcomer.

The man radiated strong energy, yet he was unfamiliar.

The tall youth smiled. “Let me introduce myself—I’m Wu Yuan, president of the Meteor Club.”

Meteor Club?

Xu Jingming’s eyebrows lifted slightly—he’d heard of this one of the school’s two peak clubs.

He hadn’t expected their president would come personally.

Was this a recruitment attempt?

Xu Jingming suddenly remembered what Senior Liu Ming had said: after the Freshman Competition, clubs would begin unified recruitment.

Sure enough, Wu Yuan continued:

“We’ve come to invite you to join our club.”

“Of course, as the school’s only S-rank student and S-rank esotericist, we’re very sincere.”

“If you join, you’ll immediately become Vice President, receive 100 academic credits per semester, and a B-rank resource allocation.”

“Additionally, our club’s resource vault will be open to you—you can take one free resource each month.”

Vice President!

Several passing freshmen turned, eyes filled with envy.

For them, joining a club meant paying dues—and often doing grunt work afterward.

But here, they were offered the position of Vice President outright, with free monthly and semesterly resources.

The difference in treatment was like heaven and earth!

Moreover, Meteor Club was one of the school’s peak clubs.

Just having “Vice President” on one’s resume would open doors to elite battle teams and guilds after graduation.

“Vice President? Wu Yuan, isn’t your Meteor Club being a bit stingy?”

At that moment, another voice rang out from nearby.
