The world has changed.
With the possession of transcendent powers, one could at least have some ability to protect themselves.
In this matter, the Westerners have always been the doers.
Gill’s dad bobbed his head quick in agreement: “I also think that Gill should learn some knowledge about the transcendent…But, there’s absolutely no construction plans for our country’s Mysterious University on the media…According to rumors, whether private entities or the council, their grasp on the mysterious is minimal, too little to form a system and references…”
“Then let’s go east, doesn’t the east already have a Hogwarts? Moreover, they committed to accepting international students.”
Gill’s mom gritted her teeth.
“I’ve checked the school’s website…it’s…” Gill’s dad choked: “It’s entirely without an English version… And I can’t make a call to them.”
“That’s not a problem, if phone calls don’t work there’s still email, I’ll find a translator who can translate Chinese, and a tutor… Little Gill must learn their language, before that, you must apply for him, or you are going to sleep in the study room.”
When it comes to children’s education, mothers are quite forceful.
The poor dad Gill could only stare hopelessly while ringing up suitable translators and tutors and begging them to somehow find out information on how to apply to East City Mysterious Academy.After the global panic subsided, what replaces it, is fanaticism! The obsession with transcendent powers!
As the first Mysterious University, East City Mysterious Academy naturally became the centre of attention.
Media from all over the world focused on its admissions and the start of school.
Many reporters poured into East City, not only natives but also from out of town, foreigners, but regretfully none of them could find the address of the Mysterious Academy.
A discussion considering if this was all a scam began to surface.
…
Inside the academy.
In a conference room.
Su Lu called his core group for a meeting: “I have already completed the compilation of the mysterious study teaching material. For the freshmen’s first year, it will mainly focus on learning, fostering spirituality, and perception, mastering the ‘Spirit Seal.’ Then, we provide them with rituals and magic potions to help them grow… Of course, it costs quite a lot, so students have two choices: they can pay out of their own pockets, or they can sign a contract with us to stay in the academy and teach after graduation.”
“I don’t have any issues with that, but…” Cheng Feng, while wiping the sweat from his forehead, asked: “The current number of applicants has exceeded half a million coming from around the world, what do we do? Rank them based on their scores?”
“Of course that’s not possible… The conditions to become a transcendent leans more towards spirituality and sensitivity, or you can say an ‘artist’s’ talent.”
Of course, there are all sorts of professions, among them, [Arcane] is well-suited for rational researchers.
But Su Lu wouldn’t release strong profession information like that pertaining to [Arcane].
“So, a second round of testing is necessary.”
Su Lu crossed his fingers and rested his elbows on the table, calmly saying: “I’ve selected a dozen plus admission points across the country…All aspiring applicants have to get to the admission points for the second selection, otherwise, they will be seen as giving up.” ř𝓪Nǒ𝖇Εꞩ
“What about the foreign applicants? And the primary school students?” Lin Hong raised her hand and asked.
“The same, if they are not willing to come even with this distance, then they are not qualified to be in contact with the mysterious.” Su Lu resolutely stated.
Admitting some international students is also a consideration for spreading Spirit Seals.
And the reservoir of talents around the world will certainly be larger than that of just one country.
Even so, due to his personal bias, the standards he sets for international students will certainly be stricter than the local students, with the admission rates being restricted to a minimum.
…
The East City Examination Centre.
Ximen Ping, with trepidation, looked at the sea of heads and wonders if his decision to rush over here was a mistake.
‘There are so many university students here, how am I going to compete with them?’
He was a little ambivalent, filled with the fear an underachiever face when confronting top students.
Even, in some corners, he could see blue-eyed, blonde hair foreigners.
“Sir Ximen, over here!”
A chubby boy waved his hand furiously.
“Ayun!”
Ximen Ping rushed over, shaking hands with the chubby boy: “You’re here too?”
As a good friend, he naturally shared the news with the chubby boy who immediately enrolled because he happened to be studying in East City and didn’t have to commute long distances.
After a quick greeting, Ximen Ping worriedly asked: “We still don’t know what the actual test will be. It’s not going to be a physical fitness test, is it?”
“Anyway, I’ve heard… it seems to be something mysterious, like testing our aptitude and the like!”
Ayun said solemnly, then pointed to the men in black who were maintaining order: “See that? Those are people from our supreme transcendent response center- Skynet! It’s their people who are maintaining order.”
“Attention all applicants, please get ready for registration, queue up to receive your number, and undergo the test!”
After the actual test began, Ximen Ping realized it was quick.
Scan your ID to get a number, then proceed to the examination room for testing. Each applicant entered and left within seconds, bewildered.
Because there were many test rooms set up, testing for the tens of thousands of applicants could be done within a day.
“Next!”
Ximen Ping queued for two hours, but because he was quite nervous, it seemed that time flew by and it was his turn in no time.
As he entered the examination room, he saw that other than the Skynet members maintaining order, there was only one examiner, a trendy female who looked like a city white collar, casually sitting behind an office desk, looking at a laptop, in front of which stood a crystal ball on a velvet stand.
“Examination Number ***, Ximen Ping! Put your hand on the crystal ball!”
Li Weiwei was busy to the point of confusion, her expression was not good at all.
Ximen Ping quickly moved forward, placing his hand on the crystal ball.
In an instant, it seemed as if a myriad of emotions rose in his heart.
It felt as if he saw blue skies and white clouds, then the earth cracking open, magma erupting, forming into an abyss.
‘Is this… transcendence? It’s so magical!’
After coming into contact with the mysterious, Ximen Ping felt that some kind of longing in his heart had been unlocked.
“Hmmm…” Li Weiwei rapidly typed a line on her computer: “Done, you can go now!”
“Huh?”
Ximen Ping widened his eyes: “Examiner, did I…pass?”
“Go home and wait for the notice!”
Li Weiwei waved her hands impatiently, perhaps due to seeing his polite demeanor, she added: “The notice will come soon, it won’t delay your second-phase enrollment.”
Ximen Ping left the examination room in a daze, his head filled with ‘Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?’ three philosophical enigmas.
“That was tough…Aping.”
Not long after, Ayun came out sourly, “That crystal ball, could it possibly be measuring spiritual power? No matter how much I touched it, there was no response at all, what do I do?”
“I really don’t know…”
Ximen Ping felt lost.
He suspected that he had been eliminated as well and that the reason they were asked to go home and wait for the notification was to avoid any disturbances around the area!
