After a while, Mo Li's eyes lit up, and she suddenly remembered that Lin Ke had high affinity for water and wood elements, overlapping with two of her three affinities.

Perhaps Lin Ke's choice could serve as her reference?

Mo Li then asked back: "Where are you planning to go, Lin Ke?"

"Auspicious Fertile Seek-Thought Biological and Medical College."

There's nothing to hide, so Lin Ke bluntly stated his decision.

Mo Li continued to ask: "Can you explain the reason?"

"I don't like fighting and killing; I feel that planting flowers and grasses, raising animals, and treating people suit my personality."

Lin Ke shrugged and voiced his true thoughts.

"Ah, this…"

Mo Li didn't expect Lin Ke to answer like that.

But after she thought it over carefully, the more she thought, the more she felt Lin Ke's idea made sense.

Coming from a noble family, Mo Li understands the wizard world somewhat better than ordinary commoners; she knows that conflicts between individual wizards and between wizard organizations are quite common.

But fighting and killing are dangerous; working as a logistics and medical personnel would suit her well.

Mo Li's lips curled up, she felt pleased, and said with a smile: "I am also preparing to go to Auspicious Fertile Seek-Thought Biological and Medical College."

Lin Ke raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised by Mo Li's decision, but not entirely unexpected.

Having affinity for water, wood, and earth elements, Mo Li is actually the most suited to enter the Auspicious Fertile Seek-Thought Biological and Medical College, even more suited than Lin Ke himself.

He merely didn't expect that Mo Li had, vaguely speaking, made her decision because of his remark just now.

Fortunately, Lin Ke is not really a greenhorn kid, so he didn't develop the illusion "Does she like me?"
