Chapter 94

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 freshman class produced a Class-S Esoteric Ability Awakened one. I wonder if it's true."

"It's probably true; he's reportedly already taken as a disciple by Yang the Helllord."

"Whoa, Yang the Helllord's standards for disciples are extremely high—he rarely takes them before the Freshman Competition. This must be real."

"Class-S Esoteric Ability Awakened? I remember our school's last Class-S Esoteric Ability Awakened was years ago."

"Right, but that one was a mental-type Class-S Awakened, who entered the Tactics Academy and became a commander at a major guild after graduation. This one is an electrical-type Class-S."

"Electrical-type? That's a classic 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 Class-S Esoteric Ability Awakened 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 offered no further explanation, only smiling lightly:

"I just came to confirm one thing..."

Hearing is believing, but seeing is believing.

Although she had already learned 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 merely for the spectacle, and students like Jiang Chuxuan who came with personal motives...

Recruitment teams from all the Magic Capital Institute of Esoteric Abilities' clubs 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, ready to 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 instructions to her members.

As an elite club, their primary target was naturally students like Xu Jingming—the 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 entered the spectator seats, laughing and chatting, and sat down not far from the Spirit Fox Club.

Seeing the tall, slender youth at their head, Su Man's eyebrows twitched slightly:

"Wu Yuan from the Meteorite Club? Why is he here?"

Besides Su Man, other club recruitment members also reacted with surprise upon noticing the youth at the head of the group.

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 relatively few members—fewer than two hundred.

Yet every single 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 Meteorite Club's president had even reached the astonishing Fourth Rank!

And the tall, slender youth just 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! But isn't he out on a mission? Why is he back?"

"......"

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

At their head was a young man clad in black combat gear, radiating a terrifying, bloodthirsty aura.

"The Ash Club's president is here too?"

Su Man was equally surprised.

Like the Meteorite Club, the Ash Club was also a giant within the Magic Capital Institute of Esoteric Abilities.

Almost all high-tier combat power in the entire 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 missions outside.

Their presence on campus was extremely rare.

And now, the fourth-tier bigshots of both clubs had gathered together at once — the matter was definitely not simple!

"Right! The S-rank Awakener, Xu Jingming!"

Su Man's beautiful eyes lit up; she quickly understood the reason, and at the same time could not help but let out a small sigh.

The Ash Club and the Meteor Club were the two peak clubs of Magic City Ability University.

If the other side had sent ordinary recruiters, their Spirit Fox Club might still have been able to fight for this rare S-rank Awakener.

But now the leaders of both major clubs had personally led their teams here, making it clear they would spare no cost to absorb Xu Jingming.

To ordinary students, their Spirit Fox Club was an elite club with a third-tier upper-rank ability user as its president.

But before the two great clubs of Meteor and Ash, it simply did not measure up.

"Forget it, I'll try to compete for the other provincial top-scorers later."

Shaking her head, Su Man quickly made her decision.

Unlike the disappointment of club recruiters like Su Man.

The rest of the audience, however, were full of interest in the arrival of these two peak clubs of the school.

"Ash Club and Meteor Club — I wonder which one that S-rank Awakener Xu Jingming will choose."

"I heard the upper guild of the Ash Club suffered heavy losses not long ago, and the Ash Club itself seems to have been affected quite a bit as well."

"Judging by that, Xu Jingming should choose the Meteor Club."

"Not necessarily — Xu Jingming's senior brother Liu Ming is the vice president of the Ash Club, so he might still choose to join the Ash Club."

"......"

As a top-tier university, the clubs of Magic City Ability University were naturally far more than just student groups.

Almost every elite club had forces from society backing it up.

For example, behind the Meteor Club stood the massive Meteor Guild.

And behind the Ash Club also stood the behemoth Ash Guild.

But the Ash Guild had suffered a heavy blow not long ago, losing most of its combat personnel, with only the rear-logistics staff at headquarters remaining.

The Ash Guild was the backing of the Ash Club.

Now that the Ash Guild's vitality had been severely wounded, the Ash Club's influence in the school had also suddenly dropped quite a bit.

Compared with the Meteor Guild and Meteor Club, whose strength was fully intact, it was naturally a notch weaker.
