Chapter 104: Peak Clubs Extend Invitations! Deputy Leader Position!

The Magic City Institute of Supernatural Abilities has five major colleges.

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

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

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

The Logistics College, meanwhile, recruits supernaturals willing to pursue paths in equipment manufacturing or alchemy.

As for the type of supernatural ability, there are no restrictions.

Among all five colleges, the Support College and Logistics College 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 supernatural.

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

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

"Alright, the five colleges have been introduced. Please register your college on the school's official website."

Dean Sun said from the podium.

On the playground.

Including Xu Jingming, everyone 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 Weapon College as his exclusive mentor, so he naturally selected the Weapon College.

But this doesn't mean he can only attend Weapon College courses.

In the future, he can also choose to sneak into classes at the Element College.

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

Your class is Weapon College Freshman (2) Class, and your class advisor is Su Yu."

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

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

Magic City Institute 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 Gaokao to compete for, there's no need to establish elite classes.

"Jingming, which class did you get assigned to?" Song Qiuyun called from behind.

"Weapon College Freshman (2) Class. What about you?" Xu Jingming replied.

"Element College Freshman (3) Class."

Actually, Song Qiuyun could have chosen either Element College or Weapon College.

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

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

When Li Chengzhi, ranked third, heard Xu Jingming was in Weapon College Class 2, he immediately 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 of your class advisors will add you to your class group chat.

Also, students who performed well in the Freshman Competition will receive mentorship invitations from exclusive mentors tonight.

Pay attention to your messages—don't miss them.

Alright, this year's opening ceremony and Freshman Competition are officially over. Everyone, go rest."

Dean Sun immediately dismissed the gathering.

The exhausted freshmen all headed toward the playground exits.

Along the way, they couldn't help but discuss today's battles and rankings.

Some spoke happily; others sighed.

"This year's freshmen are way stronger than our cohort!"

"True, especially Xu Jingming, the top freshman—he's already Second Stage Upper.

In another year or two, he'll probably dominate every student in the entire school!"

"Scary. Good thing I'm graduating in two years."

"......"

The spectator stands around the playground.

As the 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 the same 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, of course, took anyone who joined.

Elite clubs headed straight for the top fifty freshmen.

And the two peak clubs—Ashes and Meteor—both walked directly toward Xu Jingming.

Elsewhere on the spectator stands, Jiang Chuxuan'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 out and eat together."

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

From the opening ceremony at nine in the morning until now, after the Freshman Competition had ended, he hadn't eaten a single thing.

Although as an Ability User, skipping one meal isn't much.

But Xu Jingming's appetite is naturally larger than average, and he'd gone through several battles in between.

Though he hadn't consumed much energy, he was now somewhat hungry.

"Fine then, how about you, the New King, treat us?" Song Qiuyun playfully blinked her eyes.

"No problem. Once we get to the restaurant, order whatever you like."

Xu Jingming smiled.

Having won first place in the Freshman Competition, he was in high spirits—he would soon possess a space ring with a capacity of up to ten cubic meters.

"If Ming-ge is treating? Then we definitely have to drink something later."

Liu Wentao and Qi Dongxia also wore smiles on their faces.

"Then let's go—back to 'Qingya Ju.'"

Since his last meal with Song Qiuyun, Xu Jingming had found the food there delicious.

He'd taken his cousin and the others there yesterday too; for tonight's gathering, it was naturally the best choice.

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

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

"Student Xu, wait a moment."

"Who are you?" Xu Jingming regarded the newcomer with confusion.

The man radiated a faint but strong aura—he didn't recognize him.

The tall, slender youth smiled and said: "Let me introduce myself—I'm Wu Yuan, president of the Meteorite Society."

Meteorite Society?

Xu Jingming's eyebrows lifted slightly—he'd heard of this one of the school's two top societies.

He just hadn't expected their president would come directly to him.

Was this a recruitment drive?

Xu Jingming then remembered what Senior Liu Ming had said: after the Freshman Competition, the school's societies would begin unified recruitment.

Sure enough, Wu Yuan continued immediately:

"The reason I've come to you, Student Xu, is primarily to invite you to join our society."

"Of course, as the school's only S-Class student and S-Class Ability Awakened, we are very sincere."

"If you join our society, you'll immediately become Vice President, receive a fixed 100 academic credits per semester, and one B-Class resource package."

"Additionally, our society's resource vault will be open to you—you can take one free resource from it each month."

Vice President!

Several passing freshmen who heard this immediately looked envious.

For them, joining a society required paying membership fees, and even after joining, they might have to do grunt work for a while.

But here, someone was offering him the position of Vice President outright, with free resources every semester and every month.

The difference in treatment was like heaven versus earth!

Moreover, the Meteorite Society was one of the school's top societies.

Just the title of Vice President alone would open doors to elite battle teams and guilds after graduation.

"Vice President? Wu Yuan, isn't your Meteorite Society being a bit too stingy?"

At that moment, another voice rang out from nearby.
