Chapter 94: Gathering of All Sides! The Two Peak Clubs!

The Magic Capital Institute of Esoteric Abilities has four playgrounds.

Among them, Playground No. 3 is the largest.

In the center of the playground stands a massive arena measuring 1000 meters by 1000 meters, surrounded by spectator seats capable of holding tens of thousands.

At this moment, Playground No. 3.

Before Xu Jingming and the other freshmen arrived, the spectator seats were already filled with many people—teachers and upperclassmen.

“I heard this year’s freshmen produced an S-class esoteric ability awakener. I wonder if it’s true.”

“It’s probably true. I heard he’s already been taken as a disciple by Yang the Yama.”

“Whoa, Yang the Yama’s standards for disciples are extremely high—he rarely takes one before the Freshman Competition. This must be real.”

“S-class esoteric ability awakener? I remember our school’s last S-class awakener was years ago.”

“Right, but that one was a mental-type S-class awakener who entered the Tactics Academy and became a commander at a major guild after graduation. This one is an electric-type S-class.”

“Electric-type? That’s a pure offensive ability. This year’s Freshman Competition will be interesting.”

“Heh, last year we were fighting to the death on this arena. Now it’s finally our turn to watch.”

“......”

On the spectator seats, many upperclassmen whispered among themselves, eagerly anticipating the Freshman Competition.

After all, the Magic Capital Institute of Esoteric Abilities hadn’t had a new S-class esoteric ability awakener enroll in years.

“Xuanxuan, I didn’t expect you’d be interested in the Freshman Competition. I thought you didn’t like watching these matches.”

In one corner of the spectator seats, two girls had just sat down.

One of them had a cold, stunning beauty, a slender figure, and silver-white hair reaching her waist.

It was Jiang Chuxuan, who had returned to campus with Xu Jingming just days ago.

In response to her roommate’s surprised question, Jiang Chuxuan merely smiled lightly:

“I just came to confirm something...”

Hearing is believing, but seeing is believing.

Although she already knew Xu Jingming’s identity from the school forum, she still wanted to see it with her own eyes.

On the spectator seats, besides those here just for the spectacle, and students like Jiang Chuxuan who came with personal motives,

Recruitment teams from every club at the Magic Capital Institute of Esoteric Abilities were also eager and ready.

According to the Club Alliance’s agreement, club recruitment must wait until after the Freshman Competition to begin uniformly.

These groups were all waiting for the competition to end so they could absorb fresh blood into their clubs.

“Listen carefully—our top priority is the top fifty freshmen in the competition!”

“Of course, any promising students who perform well during the matches can also be recruited.”

“So each of you must watch closely and determine...”

Su Man, the vice president of the Spirit Fox Club responsible for this recruitment, was giving final instructions to her members.

As an elite club, their primary target was naturally someone like Xu Jingming—a provincial top scorer.

Of course, the top fifty freshmen or any students who showed strong potential were also targets for recruitment.

At this moment, a group of five walked in laughing and took seats not far from the Spirit Fox Club.

Seeing the tall, slender youth leading them, Su Man’s eyebrows twitched slightly:

“Wu Yuan from the Meteorite Club? Why is he here?”

Besides Su Man, other club recruiters who noticed the leading youth were also surprised.

The Magic Capital Institute of Esoteric Abilities had over a hundred clubs, big and small!

There were many elite clubs like the Spirit Fox Club.

But if you asked which clubs held the most power, the Meteorite Club was certainly one of them!

The Meteorite Club had few members—fewer than two hundred.

Yet every member was an elite among elites; even excluding new recruits, all were at least Second-Rank Upper Tier.

The vice president could only be held by a Third-Rank Peak esoteric ability user.

The president of the Meteorite Club had even reached the astonishing Fourth Rank.

The tall, slender youth just now named “Wu Yuan” was the president of the Meteorite Club.

“Look over there—the Ash Club has arrived too!”

“Huh, isn’t that the Ash Club’s president, Wei He?”

“It is him! But wasn’t he on an external mission? Why is he back?”

“......”

Amid murmurs, a group of six approached from the opposite side of the spectator seats.

Leading them was a young man clad in black combat gear, radiating a terrifying, bloodthirsty aura.

“The president of the Ash Club is here too?”

Su Man was also surprised.

Like the Meteorite Club, the Ash Club was another giant of the Magic Capital Institute of Esoteric Abilities.

Almost all high-tier combat power in the school was divided between these two clubs.

Like the Meteorite Club, the Ash Club’s vice president required a Third-Rank Peak esoteric ability user.

For example, Liu Ming was the vice president of the Ash Club.

And their president, Wei He, was also a Fourth-Rank esoteric ability user.

Generally, Fourth-Rank esoteric ability users rarely stayed on campus for classes—they spent long periods on external missions.

Their presence on campus was rare.

Yet now, both clubs’ Fourth-Rank leaders had gathered in one place—this was no coincidence.

“Ah! S-class esoteric ability awakener Xu Jingming!”

Su Man’s eyes lit up as she instantly understood the reason, and sighed inwardly.

The Ash Club and the Meteorite Club were the two peak clubs of Magic Capital University.

If they had sent ordinary recruiters, her Spirit Fox Club might have had a chance to compete for this rare S-class awakener.

But now that both club presidents had come in person, it was clear they would spare no effort to recruit Xu Jingming.

To ordinary students, her Spirit Fox Club was an elite club with a Third-Rank Upper Tier president.

But before the Meteorite and Ash Clubs, it was nothing.

“Forget it. Let’s just try to secure other provincial top scorers.”

Shaking her head, Su Man made her decision quickly.

Unlike the disappointment of club recruiters like Su Man,

the other spectators were thrilled by the arrival of the school’s two peak clubs.

“Ash Club and Meteorite Club—who will the S-class awakener Xu Jingming choose?”

“I heard the Ash Club’s parent guild suffered heavy losses recently, and the Ash Club was affected too.”

“Then Xu Jingming will probably choose the Meteorite Club.”

“Not necessarily—Xu Jingming’s senior brother Liu Ming is the vice president of the Ash Club. He might still join them.”

“......”

As a top-tier university, the clubs of the Magic Capital Institute of Esoteric Abilities were far more than just student groups.

Almost every elite club had backing from powerful external forces.

For example, the Meteorite Club was backed by the massive Meteorite Guild.

The Ash Club was supported by the colossal Ash Guild.

But the Ash Guild had recently been severely damaged, losing over half its combat personnel, retaining only rear-echelon staff at its headquarters.

The Ash Guild was the Ash Club’s patron.

Now that the Ash Guild was crippled, the Ash Club’s influence on campus had plummeted sharply.

Compared to the fully intact Meteorite Guild and Meteorite Club, it was clearly weaker.
