"You really are... what can I say about you?"

Buber was in a real bind. He knew about Ms. Frey; he'd been lusting after her for years... Ugh, he meant that Ms. Frey had a fiery temper and was notoriously difficult to deal with. He even tried to avoid talking to her in the freshman office.

I was afraid that if I said too much, I would develop the illusion that 'she likes me'.

"Teacher, you don't want me to be excluded from the Knights Ranking Tournament because of something as trivial as skipping class, you'll definitely help me, right?"

Gawain sighed and said things like how wonderful reading is, how tempting the library is, and how his love of learning has ruined him. He said whatever Bush wanted to hear.

The effect is outstanding!

Bush, an academic by training, favored students who loved reading. He declared that he would handle Frey's situation and that he would muster the courage to speak to her in his office the next day. Even if Frey berated him for two hours and sprayed him with spittle, he would protect Gawain's credits.

"By the way, teacher, does the history department have a new head?"

"Yes, just last week, not long after he took office."

"Who?"

"Professor Glenn."

"..."

Gao Wen: (?_?)

What do these two mean? Whichever class he skips, they teach that class too. Isn't that bullying an honest person?

Chapter 51 Even the Department Head Has to Pay

I've been skipping classes and haven't seen the respected Department Head Ge Lan in ages. What should I do?

Waiting online, very anxious!

Gao Wen is honest and straightforward, and has been honest since he was a child. If he knew that Ge Lan had transformed into the head of the department, he would never skip Ge Lan's class!

It's too late to say anything now.

Gao Wen was confused: "Teacher, how did Professor Ge Lan become the department head... No, Professor Ge Lan is already the department head, so why is she still teaching history to freshmen?"

Ge Lan: When I was a freshman mentor, you called me teacher and I didn't mind. Now that I'm the head of the history department, what should you call me?

Gao Wen: Hello, Professor Ge!

"This is a long story..."

Büper reminisced, sighing: "Professor Glenn was once a court magician, possessing talent, brilliance, good looks, and virtue—he was impeccable, practically perfect. Wherever he went, young women and wives alike would flock to him, and countless noble ladies would drink themselves into oblivion every night for him..."

"Teacher, it's so sour!"

Gawain interrupted at the right moment, encouraging Büper to think positively: the past is the past, the present is the present. Glenn was excellent before, but he's even more excellent now. For example, that receding hairline—is Glenn really bald?

Not a single hair.

"So what if I'm being sarcastic? Professor Glenn was radiant back then. I was just a background figure. It's not shameful for me to be sarcastic about him."

Booth continued, "Perhaps because he was too outstanding, or perhaps because of the pressure, Professor Glenn wanted to be even more outstanding, so he set his sights on chaos magic, and ended up like this..."

"This incident was a huge blow to him, and he almost didn't make it through. He resigned from his position as a court magician, cut off contact with everyone around him, and said that the world was so big and he wanted to go out and see it."

"Anyone with eyes can see that he doesn't want to live anymore."

"His Majesty the King greatly admires Professor Glenn and, unwilling to let this talented individual fade away, invited him, in his capacity as principal, to join the Royal Magic University as a mentor for new students."

"With Professor Glenn's talent and qualifications, he was fully qualified to become the head of the history department, but he didn't want to compete for anything, and nothing mattered to him. Therefore, he always taught freshmen."

"Until Professor Vanvich..."

A college cannot be without a head for a day, and a department cannot be without a director for a day. After the Van Wechs incident, the school learned its lesson and selected a highly respected and virtuous teacher from the history department to take on the important task. In the end, Ge Lan was chosen.

Glenn repeatedly refused, promising to serve only as the interim department head and to resign immediately once a suitable candidate was found.

Therefore, becoming the department head does not affect Ge Lan's teaching of freshmen; she never intended to hold the position for long.

"I see."

Gao Wen was completely dumbfounded after hearing this. So, Ge Lan became the department head because Fan Weiqi died, and she was promoted automatically due to her high seniority.

Just think about how VanVleet died; it's incredibly upsetting.

Yesterday, Gao Wen was a complete jerk. He kept Fan Weiqi up all night and skipped class too. How could he do this to his own people?

"What should I do? Will my application be approved?"

"Don't worry, Professor Glenn isn't an unreasonable person. As long as I explain to you that you have another reason for skipping class..."

"He will let me off the hook."

"He will consider it."

"..."

“There’s no way around it. No matter what your reason is, skipping class is wrong. Leave this to me. It’s quite rare for freshmen to become official mages and participate in the Knight Ranking Tournament. As long as it’s about collective honor, the glory belongs to the History Department and every freshman mentor. Professor Glenn will make an exception.” Buber told Gawain to calm down and let him handle things.

Friday, January 5th.

Central District Gymnasium.

Yesterday, Gao Wen received a notification from Buber that Professor Glenn, the department head, had agreed to the formal mage examination. However, given his severe lack of credits and the anonymous report from a meditation teacher who wished to remain anonymous for skipping class, the department decided to conduct an extremely difficult examination on him.

Rules are rules; without rules, nothing can be accomplished. If a genius wants special privileges, he must accept greater challenges. Otherwise, if Gao Wen is given lenient treatment today, the teachers' work will not be able to proceed smoothly tomorrow.

Good news: As long as you pass the assessment, you will not only be awarded a formal mage certificate and have an orderly sacrificial ceremony arranged, but you will also be approved for the knight ranking competition in no time, achieving three goals at once.

Bad news: Ms. Frey is one of the judges. If Gawain fails the test, he will be taken away on the spot and given a loving lesson from the teacher, and from then on, he will sit in the first row during meditation class.

There was a reason why Ms. Frey was unhappy. That day, Buper argued with her and said a lot of good things about Gawain. She concluded that the reason Gawain was so excellent was because he skipped her meditation class.

Who do you think you are!

This formal mage assessment was unusual, as it concerned whether Gawain was qualified to apply for the Knight Ranking Tournament. Therefore, all standards were set according to the Knight Ranking Tournament. Since the district gymnasium could not meet this requirement, Glen applied for a ring in the central district gymnasium and personally selected a third-year history student to test Gawain's abilities.

The senior's name is Barrett, a top student in the history department. The name is powerful and has a strong impact.

In terms of appearance, like most nobles, Barrett has a nose and eyes, inheriting the best features from both parents, but he is not particularly outstanding compared to the rest of the university, belonging to the category of those who are not very distinctive.

At the edge of the ring, Department Head Glen was present in person, along with three referees: Buber, Leo, and Frey, making it an all-star lineup.

With this roster, let alone just a test, the Cavaliers would be more than qualified for the regular season.

Glen had previously instructed Barrett not to go all out, but to focus on defense, giving Gawain a chance to showcase his talents, and if possible, to curb the young man's arrogance.

As for the assessment results, Ge Lan did not mention them; that was a matter for the three judges to consider, and he would not interfere.

With the organizers and referees all on his side, Barrett felt he had a huge advantage. He thought it was just a matter of beating up a junior, and he would be very gentle.

Meanwhile, it was another uneventful week for Gawain. He spent his days in the gym and library, and his nights meditating and seducing the four elements, adding points quickly and steadily.

As for skipping class...

As I said before, everything will be alright as long as you pass the test.

Lily's heatstroke was severe, and she was bedridden for half a month without recovering. Hervy hadn't been able to come and eat Gawain's big meat stick for a while because she was taking care of her.

With no women around, Gao Wen focused entirely on cultivating his natural divine powers, dedicating himself to both cultivation and missions. When he couldn't catch any treacherous individuals, he would recruit sparring partners on-site at the gymnasium, paying people to try out for him to complete his daily tasks.

It's not shameful to spend a little money on tasks.

After a whole week of accumulation, all the base stats except for Charm exceeded 200.

Speed: 216 (S+)

Strength: 215 (S+)

Endurance: 208 (S+)

Charisma: 98 (A+)

Magic Power: 340 (S+)

Having just been promoted to a formal mage, and with his body back in a hollow vessel, his rapid progress is to be expected. However, after some time, he will probably only be able to become stronger by adding stat points.

The Central District Gymnasium occupies a huge area, larger than the four district gymnasiums combined. Ge Lan applied for the main arena ring, with a time limit of one hour, and a charge for exceeding the time limit.

The school is equal; even the department head has to pay.

The main arena is far less robust than the training rooms. It lacks shock-absorbing runes and focuses on realistic combat, but its defense is even stronger. Once the magic circle is activated, no matter how much a professional mage tries to disrupt it, it will not cause permanent damage to the arena itself.

As for the medical team...

No, that's not the case. There are three teachers and one department head. The referee will stop the game before someone gets injured and loses.

Gao Wen first politely greeted the department head and referees on the sidelines, then guiltily avoided Frey's fierce glare. "We're not familiar with each other, teacher, please don't do this. Your ex-husband is watching from the sidelines!"

On the other side of the ring, Barrett, over two meters tall with slightly dark skin, wore a sleeveless T-shirt and had strong, powerful arms: "Gawain, are you ready?"

Gao Wen took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

[Host has triggered the quest [Formal Mage Qualification Battle]]

[Mission Description: Obtaining a formal mage certificate will bring you many benefits. There is no possibility of defeat in this battle. Your opponent, Barrett, seems to underestimate you; you can make good use of this.]

[Task Rewards: 10000 Experience Points, 1000 Gold Coins, 50 Basic Free Attribute Points]

【Whether to accept? 】

【whether】

The training room and the arena are worlds apart, with two different rules. The rewards for this mission are far greater than those for Labrador, but that doesn't mean Barrett is stronger than Labrador. Gawain has no doubt about his stats; even if Labrador goes all out, he can still defeat it.

He's not here for an assessment; he's here to buy goods.

He's definitely going to get an S+ rating!

After exhaling, Gawain opened his eyes, a flash of magic light passing through them: "Senior Barrett, I'm ready. Will you attack or will I?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Wen lowered his body, his center of gravity instantly sinking to its limit. He then exerted force with both feet and shot out like an arrow.

Meditation accelerates, attributes burst forth, and attacks are delivered with full force!

The ground, unable to withstand the pressure, instantly cracked, leaving behind a ring of cracks and flying debris.

A blurry afterimage skimmed close to the ground, each touch of the toes creating a terrifying secondary acceleration, turning the brick floor of the arena into a drumhead, being frantically stomped and struck.

In the brief moment of breathing, the explosions connected in a line, rumbling as they rushed towards Barrett.
