Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Chapter 387: Chapter 98: Who Else Is There_2

But they held a particular fondness for Link, the rising star of their lineage, and took great care of him.

They were also quite familiar with Link’s experiences.

Indeed, it was Karim Usman who informed the Serene Wizard about some of the insider details of this exchange program the previous night.

Link was not bothered and smiled, “I had no choice but to run.”

The other two senior second-level wizards were both instructors from the Senior Division, one from a pure blood family and the other from a half blood family. They were indifferent towards Link.

Neither detested nor admired him.

Following their business-like approach, they interrupted the casual conversation between Link and Karim Usman.

The Pure Blood Wizard said grimly, “Since he’s here, let’s begin the interview.”

The Half Blood Wizard scrolled through his intelligent device, expressed surprised, and said, “Seems like we don’t need an interview after all. The institution specifically noted that if Link Grande participates in this exchange program’s leadership competition, he doesn’t need to retest and will automatically receive one of the spots.”

Upon hearing this news, not only was the Half Blood Wizard surprised, even the other two including Link himself were somewhat puzzled.

Why would they automatically receive a spot without retesting?

The Pure Blood Wizard immediately questioned, “Could there be a mistake?”

The Half Blood Wizard moved the office tablet in front of the Pure Blood Wizard and unhappily said, “You can ask the Main Tower Spirit yourself. This announcement was made directly by the Main Tower Spirit bypassing the tower spirits of the Senior Division.”

“Nevermind.”

The Pure Blood Wizard looked at it and immediately conceded defeat.

The Main Tower Spirit, which governs both the Junior Division and Senior Division tower spirits and the spirits in many other buildings to serve the wizards and their apprentices, its main body is located in the institution itself.

This meant that the decision to let Link automatically receive one of the leadership spots came directly from the institution itself!

As an ordinary teacher in the Senior Division, he wouldn’t dare to question it.

“Ha! Great news!”

Karim Usman laughed and seriously said to Link, “For you, this is really good news. At this crucial time, the fewer unnecessary battles you get involved in, the fewer chances your enemies have to figure out your true abilities and come up against you with targeted strategies.”

“Thank you for your advice, Brother Usman.”

Link himself also realized this point, he sincerely thanked him and addressed him as they did in their private interactions.

“In that case, you can leave now.”

The Pure Blood Wizard couldn’t stand watching the friendly interactions taking place between these two people from the same camp, finding it irritating, so he promptly interrupted their conversation.

“Don’t go around talking about it, or you might cause unnecessary trouble.”

The Half Blood Wizard’s attitude was slightly better and kindly warned him.

Regardless of how one sees it, the Half Blood Wizard, who stood firm, didn’t flatter or bend to the pure bloods, and the New Blood Wizard were always naturally supporting each other.

“Understood.”

Upon hearing this, Link immediately exited the tent.

He didn’t bother with the gazes coming from his peers who were either in groups or alone, surrounding the arena. He went straight to his vehicle.

As it turned out, Jasmine wasn’t in the passenger seat.

Instead, she had moved to the back seat and was exchanging skincare secrets and make-up tips with Elise Clark who showed up out of nowhere.

Hmm…

The two girls, while fencing with each other, actually became friendly.

Jasmine was still very guarded against Elise, not allowing her to have much intimacy or contact with Link. But that didn’t stop Jasmine from becoming friends with Elise.

Such a relationship was so convoluted that it gave Link a headache.

On one hand, I consider you as a potential love opponent, but on the other, we can be best friends.

Perhaps only girls can understand this kind of relationship.

Link opened the car door, sat in the driver’s seat, lost in his thoughts about the conversation he just had in the tent.

“So, did you pass?”

Without looking up, Jasmine, on one hand, was admiring Elise’s newly done nails and on the other, she asked with concern.

“Link brother, you must have passed the interview, right?”

Elise’s personality was highly variable, suddenly she turned into a cutesy little girl, full of girlish charm.

“Don’t call him brother!”

As soon as it came to a principle matter, Jasmine instantly got frustrated; her face turned serious.

“I will call him.”

Elise disagreed.

Seeing the two were about to have a childish argument again, Link quickly excused himself and stepped out of the car.

By this time, the first round of the interview had ended.

The three senior second-level wizards came out of the tent and ascended onto the platform.

The Pure Blood Wizard was the first to speak:

“This exchange with Shadow City has been a long time coming due to several twists and turns. The decision was only finalized a few days ago and was hastily notified last night.

Despite the rush, this exchange is a matter of great importance to the institution’s reputation and dignity, we must take it very seriously.

Being the potential leaders, you should firmly establish the idea of bringing honor to the institution, you should…”

“Let’s cut the crap.”

The Half Blood Wizard unexpectedly interrupted, not sparing any face for the Pure Blood Wizard, “The second round of the retest: actual combat will begin shortly. There’s a decision from the institution itself that needs to be announced beforehand.

In acknowledgment of Wizard Link Grande’s exceptional academic performance and impressive fieldwork during his early responses to assignments, he is granted an exemption from retesting and will automatically receive one of the leadership spots.”

New Blood Wizard Karim Usman proudly announced, “This means that the institution itself believes Wizard Link Grande is capable of directly taking on one of the leadership roles. As for you all, you must compete for the remaining spot.”
