“You’ve passed the assessment for the specially appointed teacher position, but I have to remind you that you’ll be considered half a teacher to them from now on. When training, you must be careful not to do things like you did today,” Dean Xiao said.

If Lü Cheng were to unleash his domain attack like he did today, any mage below the high rank would instantly turn to ash the moment they stepped into the domain!

Although Lü Cheng's fire-type talent wasn't from the victims, it wasn't far off, and this kid's fire-type talent was controllable!

“I know,” Lü Cheng nodded.

"That's good." Dean Xiao handed the relevant information of the specially appointed teacher to Lü Cheng.

"The main job of the specially appointed teachers is to meet the challenges of the college students. In addition, they will take turns to provide practical guidance to students in a different department each week. If there are fewer students in a department, you can also combine teaching."

"That's fine..."

"We can't do it all at once!" Dean Xiao interrupted.

“I know what you’re trying to do. Indeed, with your fifth-realm spiritual power, plus your special mental system, even the entire academy combined wouldn’t be able to withstand a single blow from you.”

"But your job is to provide practical guidance, not just to beat them up and be done with it."

Lu Cheng's mental magic is also quite peculiar. Despite his mental strength being far inferior to Lu Cheng's, theoretically, this kid's mental magic should not be able to affect him at all. However, in the test just now, he was almost broken through by this kid!

His mind seemed to have been forcibly invaded, and he couldn't defend himself at all. He could only rely on his powerful mental strength to forcefully suppress the restlessness caused by his emotions and desires being manipulated.

Even he, a ninth-realm forbidden spell mage, couldn't completely defend against it. This kid's mental talent is even more special than the victims'.

“Okay.” Lü Cheng shrugged.

"Anything else?"

Dean Xiao nodded. "There is indeed something I'd like to trouble you with."

"Yu Mian, come in."

The side door of the office opened, and a little girl wearing a Mingzhu school uniform walked in.

"Grandpa Xiao." Ding Yumin stepped forward to greet him, and then nodded politely to Lü Cheng.

"You should have felt it by now," Dean Xiao said.

"Mm." Lü Cheng nodded.

Ding Yumin's mind-based magic is extremely unstable. Anyone with intermediate mental strength can sense the anomaly at close range.

“Even if your practical combat skills aren’t up to par, I still plan to recruit you into Mingzhu,” Dean Xiao said.

"Because of her?" Lu Cheng asked.

Dean Xiao nodded, then shook his head. "When Pang Lai came to Shanghai before, he also came to see me. He said he met a young man who would most likely come to Mingzhu Academy. He said he originally intended to take you as his disciple, but you seemed to think that his cultivation level was not high enough, so you refused."

“Uh…” Lu Cheng was a little embarrassed.

“He understands,” Dean Xiao said.

"He sensed that your fire and mind elements were somewhat special, and roughly guessed your concerns, so he was certain that you would come to Pearl Academy."

Although Lü Cheng was not a victim, his talent was almost identical to that of the victims. If the Holy City were to discover this, it would cause a lot of trouble.

"You too?" Ding Yumin looked at Lü Cheng with a puzzled expression.

Wasn't there only one victim in each department at the same time?

Dean Xiao shook his head. "He wasn't a victim, but his mental health is more troublesome than yours."

The ability to manipulate other people's emotions and desires at will is something that even he finds somewhat unsettling.

With his mid-level mastery and the spiritual power of the fifth realm, he could shake this ninth-realm forbidden spell mage. What about in the future?

What will happen when this kid reaches the super-level, or even the forbidden spell, and when his mental power reaches the ninth realm?

Forbidden spellcasters are probably just toys in his presence.

"You rejected Pang Lai but still came to Mingzhu. To be honest, I'm somewhat touched by your trust in me," Dean Xiao said with a smile.

Pang Lai is the chief of the Royal Magic Association. In terms of social influence, no one can compare to him. If Lü Cheng follows Pang Lai, he only needs to hide his mind-based talent and focus on his summoning skills, and he will not encounter any problems.

However, Lü Cheng rejected Pang Lai and came to Shanghai. He first made connections with the Qingtian Hunting Grounds and then headed towards Mingzhu Academy.

Their intentions are too obvious.

“I thought you’d find me troublesome and kick me out,” Lu Cheng said.

Dean Xiao smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare kick you out."

"If you hold a grudge because of this and come back to take revenge on me in the future, that would be troublesome."

“You can also choose to deal with me now,” Lü Cheng said.

Dean Xiao shook his head. "You don't need to test me. As long as you haven't done anything immoral, I won't lay a hand on you."

Lu Cheng shrugged and did not refute.

This is a fact.

If Dean Xiao were like those people in Holy City, he wouldn't have chosen to hide Ding Yumin, a mental health victim who was at risk of losing control at any moment, in Pearl Academy.

Although Dean Xiao's forbidden spell level strength allows him to steadily control Ding Yumin, and even if he loses control, it won't pose any danger, it is still quite troublesome.

For someone who is not related to you by blood or marriage to go to such lengths is already quite kind of you.

"So, you want me to help her control her mind magic?" Lu Cheng asked.

"Hmm." Dean Xiao nodded.

“Your mental talent is extremely similar to that of the victims of Yu Mian’s tragedy, and yours is controllable. So, I hope you can help her in this regard.”

Teaching the victims is extremely dangerous and requires a lot of time and energy. He can't go around telling everyone that Ding Yumin is a victim, because if it gets out accidentally, the Holy City's heretical mage group will probably come the next day.

He may have some leeway, but that only works for a short time, not forever.

Those heretical sorcerers are incredibly cruel.

Chapter 56 Beast Fighting Tournament

56.

……

"Grandpa Xiao, isn't this causing him too much trouble?"

After Dean Xiao explained the situation, Lü Cheng readily agreed to take care of Ding Yumin.

While Ding Yumin was happy about this, as she wanted to control her power and avoid accidents, she was also well aware of how troublesome her mind-based magic was. Even Dean Xiao couldn't handle it, and even though Lü Cheng was also a mind-based mage...

"Don't worry, since he agreed, he must be confident," Dean Xiao said.

"As for causing trouble...that's not necessarily true."

Ding Yumin was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"That kid isn't some pushover," Dean Xiao said with a smile.

"He won't agree if he's unwilling."

Ding Yumin blushed, "He..."

"Yu Mian, that kid is very calculating. You'd better be careful in the future." Dean Xiao's expression turned serious.

The mental abilities of those who perished, once developed, will become an extremely terrifying force!

Once Lü Cheng's mind-based talent matures, it will be extremely difficult to deal with, and he can't quite figure out the kid's temperament.

By entrusting Ding Yumin to Lü Cheng, he was taking a huge gamble.

……

A few months later, it was time for new students to start school.

Perhaps because Lü Cheng was a teacher at Mingzhu Academy, or perhaps because of Mu Nujiao, Ye Xinxia also chose to apply to Mingzhu Academy instead of going to Hangzhou to study alone.

Mo Fan, just like before, chose to hide his talent and successfully entered Pearl Academy with his newly awakened summoning ability.

On the first day of orientation at the Qing Campus, at the Colosseum.

"If all you want is to be a respected person in society... then I can tell you with certainty that you've come to the wrong place."

On the high platform, Dean Xiao is giving a speech.

Lu Cheng stood next to Dean Xiao as a special guest at the opening ceremony.

The work scope of the specially appointed teachers is the main campus. After all, most of the teachers in the Qing campus are beginner mages, and there are a few intermediate mages. They are a group of novices who can't even reliably connect to the star map. They don't need high-level mages as sparring partners.

"Sister Mu, is that your brother Acheng? He's so handsome!"

In the audience, Mu Nujiao sat next to a cute little bear girl, who was looking at Lü Cheng next to Dean Xiao on the high platform with a curious expression.

"Is he really already at the advanced level? He's even more powerful than my brother," Ai Tutu said.

“He’s now a specially appointed teacher at Mingzhu Academy,” Mu Nujiao shrugged.

Do you really think his advanced cultivation level is fake?

"Teacher?" Ai Tutu was taken aback.

"Wow! A teacher-student relationship? Sister Mu, you're playing with such excitement!"
