Seeing the three major magic academies’ admissions teachers arguing over Meng Lei, the other young people present felt envious, jealous, and hateful toward him. They badly wanted to replace Meng Lei and become the super genius!
It would be great if they were the ones getting fought over!
Unfortunately, there was no such possibility!
At this time, the middle-aged man in charge of the assessment coughed and said, “My three teachers, why don’t you discuss at the side? We need to continue with the assessment...”
“Hmph!”
The three old men were slightly unhappy after getting interrupted by the middle-aged man, but they didn’t say much. They pulled Meng Lei to the side and activated their eloquent tongues, trying to recruit him!
“My two teachers, your conditions are very attractive. However, are you able to share the specifics so that I can make a choice?”
Meng Lei scratched his head and looked at the old man with rosacea and the bald old man. He then said that he would not consider the Dragon People Magic Academy, which was represented by the one-horned old man. He was not interested in associating with Dragon People!
“Little brother, you are really straightforward!”
The bald old man quickly followed up. “I think you are of a commoner’s background. It happens that our Douglas Magic Academy recruits commoners. As long as you join us, tuition and fees are exempted, and you will receive a scholarship grant of 3,000 gold coins per year!”
“Our Fire Dragon Magic Academy also exempts all tuition and fees, and offers a scholarship grant of 3,000 gold coins per year!” The old man with rosacea counter-offered.
“Old fogey, didn’t you just say 2,000 gold coins?” The bald old man glared at the old man with rosacea and yelled, “Why did you increase it by another 1,000 gold coins in a blink of an eye? Are you shameless?”
“Hmph! How can a genius like him be measurable by money?” The old man with rosacea snorted coldly. “A scholarship grant of 3,000 gold coins per year, that’s quite appropriate!”
“Shameless old thief!”
The bald old man ground his teeth in anger. “4,000 gold coins! As long as you join our Douglas Magic Academy, we are willing to provide a scholarship grant of 4,000 gold coins per year!”
“Our Fire Dragon Magic Academy is also willing to provide a scholarship grant of 4,000 gold coins!”
The old man with rosacea chuckled. There was an expression of victory on his face. Fire Dragon Magic Academy had money and power. How could Douglas Magic Academy be compared to them?
“Old fogey, are you bent on opposing me today?”
The bald old man was furious. “5,000 gold coins! This is the maximum I can offer. Little brother, be direct. Do you want to join us?”
The old man with rosacea said casually, “Hehe, I also offer 5,000 gold coins!”
“You! How ruthless!”
The bald old man clenched his teeth but did not make any further offers. Although he wanted to recruit Meng Lei, he was only an admissions teacher and had limited authority. The scholarship grant of 5,000 gold coins per year was his limit!
“Hahaha! I suppose you are not increasing your offer?” The old man with rosacea sneered. “Little brother, which would you choose? I believe you have already made up your mind?”
Meng Lei glanced at the old bald man with a little regret before turning to the old man with rosacea. He bowed and politely said, “I am honored to be a member of the Fire Dragon Magic Academy!”
“Hahaha, smart choice, kid!” The old man with rosacea was very pleased with himself. “I’m glad you joined our Fire Dragon Magic Academy. This is the badge of the academy. You need to drop your blood to swear allegiance to it quickly!”
This was a small badge, similar to the school badge from Meng Lei’s previous life. However, it was a product of alchemy. There was an awe-inspiring ferocious fire dragon at the front, and a magic pattern at the back, containing some kind of strange magic energy!
Meng Lei took the badge and squeezed a drop of blood on it. Suddenly, he felt a mysterious connection with the badge!
“Oh, what a shame!”
The bald old man looked on and sighed helplessly. He knew this would happen. Geniuses like Meng Lei would choose the Fire Dragon Magic Academy even when offered the same conditions!
He could only watch as geniuses miss their Douglas Magic Academy again and again!
“The academy badge is not only a form of identification but also a certificate of admission. You can only pass through the academy and freely enter and exit the academy, only if you are wearing the badge!”
The old man with rosacea patiently introduced, “Of course, the academy badge is also engraved with a spirit-gathering magic pattern, which constantly absorbs magic elements, hence improving your meditation efficiency!”
“I see!”
Meng Lei acknowledged with a nod!
“Today is the last day of the magic assessment!”
The old man with rosacea exhorted. “Generally, there will be a two-day rest period after the magic assessment, and then the school starts! Hence, you should come to the academy for registration the day after tomorrow. There will be an internal test during the registration. After successfully passing the test, you will officially become a member of the academy!”
“Understood!”
Meng Lei nodded!
“Very good!”
The old man with rosacea nodded in satisfaction. “By the way, I still do not know what your name is?”
“Meng Lei!”

After successfully recruiting such a genius, the old man with rosacea left contentedly. The eyes of countless nobles, commoners, and Dragon People in the audience were fixed on Meng Lei, filled with envy!
“This country bumpkin... No, this
