I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 87, Arrogance!

Today is the day the rankings for the Dimensional Academy ranking test will be announced. After receiving the notification, Jiang Shang walked from his apartment to the main campus.

The university hall of the Dimensional Academy was built to academic standards and can accommodate a thousand people.

When Jiang Shang arrived, the first thing he saw was two imposing stone statues, as white as jade, standing at the entrance of the school.

It is not difficult to tell from the carved patterns that these are two demonic tigers, as only they have this iconic "king" character pattern.

Behind them was the Dimensional Academy's main hall, which was a mysterious black with tiny silver speckles, resembling a beautiful starry sky.

Jiang Shang stepped forward and entered the password as shown on the Mingzhu Academy app on his phone.

"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes"

After he finished speaking, the two stone tigers in the hall seemed to receive a command, their eyes flashing with a deep blue light. Then, the door in front of Jiang Shang slowly opened, as if inviting the student to enter.

"Voice input! I knew I had to change it to 'Open Sesame' from now on!" Jiang Shang exclaimed in amazement as he entered.

It's worth mentioning that the password at the entrance of the auditorium is a dynamic password. Each month, the top student in their department has the right to change the password to their favorite type, such as Snake or Breakdance.

Each new password will appear at the top of the "Dimensional Zone" on the Mingzhu app to prevent students from not being able to find it.

So every time there's a change of leadership, you can see students from the Dimensional Department standing in front of their own auditorium, dancing and singing excitedly.

It is said that the first place winner in one year was a music student. He set the door password as a song, and everyone who entered had to sing it out loud, without being off-key at all.

This led to countless frenzied battles occurring in the dimensional system during that month.

Every student who was even slightly tone-deaf was determined to bring him down.

If you want to go even further, you can set it to a voice input like "I'm an idiot".

Each student who enters must recite this incantation before they can enter.

However, the top students in each department never resort to such extreme measures; they still care about their reputation.

They are either scions of prominent families or geniuses from humble backgrounds.

Everyone has a sense of shame!

Regardless of the circumstances, this approach greatly increases the students' enthusiasm, especially those from aristocratic families.

The first place winner has both resources and fame, perfectly matching their desires.

Furthermore, families pay great attention to those who awaken dimensional magic at the junior or intermediate level, and allocate a great deal of resources to them.

Therefore, the first place will most likely be taken by scions of aristocratic families.

If not, it's because the members of that generation of aristocratic families didn't awaken the Summoning System.

Because the standard for the number one in the dimensional category is having a summoning ability!

A general-level demon is far too powerful in a one-on-one match; a general-level contracted beast is equivalent to several mid-level mages.

Therefore, the top ten in the Dimensional System are always dominated by the Summoning System, with other systems competing for the spots.

Even if Jiang Shang wanted them to relinquish their number one position, it would take one or two months.

[Divine Thunder of the Capital] is at the critical stage of transformation. All of my lightning magic energy has been used to supply it for the transformation. Every day, I only have one-tenth of my magic energy left, so I cannot release intermediate magic.

The space-type ability is only at the mid-level, level one, which is insufficient to deal with top-ranked geniuses.

………………

Upon entering the Dimensional Hall, the first thing you feel is not the magnificent beauty of being surrounded by stars, but rather a soothing and melodious melody.

It's like a quietly flowing river, gently flowing into your heart and carrying away all your weariness and sorrow.

The seating arrangement in the university hall was tiered, much like a regular university classroom. When Jiang Shang entered, the hall was bustling with students.

Jiang Shang chose a secluded spot against the wall at the back and sat down, waiting for the conference to begin.

Not long after, the three department heads of the college walked into the auditorium together. The one walking at the front with the most imposing presence was Zhou Zhenghua, the head of the Summoning Department, followed by Li Zheng, the head of the Space Department, and Zhou Lun, the head of the Sound Department.

The head of the Chaos Department did not attend.

It is said that because the last student from the Chaos Department just graduated this year, and no new students entered the main campus this year, he simply decided not to come.

As the head of the Summoning Department, the top department in the Dimensional Academy, Zhou Zhenghua took the lead on the podium and scanned the room with his eyes.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Who is Jiang Shang?"

Jiang Shang was somewhat surprised and obediently stood up.

All eyes turned to them. In a department with only a few hundred students, they had heard of most of the people, so the sudden appearance of an unfamiliar name piqued their curiosity.

"Dean Xiao said you have great talent and made an exception to admit you to the main campus, but I don't believe in that! No matter how great your talent is, it's all for nothing if it's not converted into strength! Although I've made an exception to accept you, you still need to earn your way up in the academy's ranking through your own strength."

"Your ranking is last!" Zhou Zhenghua said calmly.

Looking at Zhou Zhenghua's expression, Jiang Shang initially wanted to agree, but then he thought that he would definitely have to become the top student in the department in the future!

The monthly, weekly Three-Step Pagoda training is incredibly rewarding, and I can't afford to give it up.

After assessing the condition of the [Heavenly Thunder] and estimating the transformation time, Jiang Shang, finding that about a month was approaching, said with a smile, "If I don't make it into the top ten next month, how about I voluntarily withdraw from the main campus?"

Upon hearing Jiang Shang's words, everyone present erupted in uproar.

The top ten are all guys who each have a contracted beast, and they've all basically reached the warrior level. This guy has the audacity to say that he can make it into the top ten this month. He's overestimating himself.

"You dare to be so arrogant just by entering the main campus? Why don't we go out and give it a try now!"

"He's got no brains at all. How did he even get into the main campus? Is he some distant relative of one of the leaders?"

"Go for it, Yang Ju! You're a top ten player, after all. This guy has the nerve to boast about getting into the top ten. Go and take him down, shut him up!"

The man named Yang Ju remained unmoved and didn't even glance at Jiang Shang.

In fact, it wasn't just Yang Ju; none of the top twenty paid any attention to Jiang Shang. In their minds, Jiang Shang was like a clown jumping around, shouting wildly.

"Quiet!" Zhou Zhenghua's voice echoed throughout the university hall.

After all the students had fallen silent, he spoke again, "Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true," Jiang Shang nodded in reply.

Zhou Zhenghua was so angry at Jiang Shang's words that he laughed. Over the years, he had seen many exceptionally talented students. For example, the little girl that Dean Fu had taken in had a talent that far surpassed anyone he had ever met.

Are all kids these days so arrogant and ignorant?!

Or was it because Dean Xiao was too lenient with this student, which fostered his arrogant attitude?

"I've seen plenty of geniuses. Take Xiang Peng, who went to Zhejiang University for an exchange program this year, for example. His abilities are such that you'll never be able to catch up with him until graduation," Zhou Zhenghua said casually, then pointed to a red-haired boy in the second-to-last row from the back of the table.

"Sitting there is Yang Ju, ranked tenth! Not only is his contracted beast 'Ghost Moon Wolf' a warrior, but he himself is also a mid-level fire mage. Do you think you have even the slightest chance?"

"We'll see in a little over a month!" Jiang Shang said calmly.

Some readers said it was too bland, so I'll create some conflict.
