ALL NOVEL Chapter 10: ch10
In the outside world, many parents eagerly awaited their children to awaken their promising abilities.
By this time, most students had already emerged from the awakening space. These students were immediately approached by some university representatives, hoping to recruit talented individuals in advance.
Although this somewhat discriminates against those who work hard, every university desires its students to be geniuses, and they are currently recruiting.
"Attention students: If the average value of your four dimensions exceeds 5, or the highest single item reaches 8, please consider enrolling at Duling University. Geniuses will receive special treatment."
"Riverbend University is recruiting students. Tuition is free for those who have awakened dual attributes. Register as soon as possible."
"Starfield University..."
At this time, at least ten universities at Awakening Square were recruiting students, but they were all lesser-known schools. Truly prestigious universities do not recruit students here and have strict entrance examinations.
Sarah Johnson and Emily were dazzled by the offers and even forgot about John Smith, who had not yet exited the awakening space. They went around asking at various universities.
"Excuse me, professor." Sarah pulled Emily through the crowd and approached the admissions representative from Riverbend University. She smiled politely and said, "My daughter has awakened the three attributes of Light, Shadow, and Earth. Can she attend your school for free?"
Free tuition is very important to Emily's parents, and she knows her talent is limited, with her highest single score only at 6. Good universities will not admit her.
The Riverbend University representative glanced at Sarah and said expressionlessly, "The dual attributes we refer to do not include Light and Shadow. Your child has not reached the standard and can only be admitted after passing the assessment."
"Why not include Light and Shadow?" At this point, many parents were anxious. Most of them were ordinary people and did not know much about ninjas. "Are you deliberately making things difficult for us?"
Initially, they thought their children would be exempted from tuition, but Riverbend University gave them another blow.
The representative was obviously annoyed by these uninformed parents. He hadn't recruited any students yet, and those who came to inquire were only interested in free tuition. They didn't even have the most basic understanding of ninjas, and he suddenly became impatient.
"Parents, please be quiet. I didn't mean to embarrass you."
"You ordinary people, like everyone else, have the Light and Shadow attributes. These are the basic attributes of everyone. The five conventional attributes of fire, earth, lightning, water, and wind need to be acquired innately or cultivated later."
"Among them, innate is the best, which is the proof of genius. Although it is possible to cultivate acquired attributes, it cannot be mastered without a certain amount of talent."
"That's why our Riverbend University offers the preferential treatment of free tuition for dual-attribute students. According to your understanding, such students should have four attributes, so parents who can't meet the requirements should leave."
As the Riverbend University representative explained, the parents of the students began to disperse. At this time, John finally saw Sarah and Emily in the crowd and walked over.
"Aunt Sarah, Emily, you make it easy for me to find you."
"Well, we both forgot about you as soon as we heard about free tuition."
"I'm sorry, little brother, it's because I was too impatient. They don't accept me yet, so the trip was in vain."
The mother and daughter smiled sheepishly. John didn't mind and said with a smile, "If they don't accept you, they don't accept you. Why would a really good university recruit people here? Emily, if you want to go to a good university, strive for it."
"Well, little brother, you're right." Emily had no other opinion except insisting on going to school. She would do whatever her family said.
"Kid, you're so arrogant." Initially worried that Emily would feel inferior after being rejected, the middle-aged teacher recruiting for Riverbend University overheard and became unhappy. He approached, adjusting his glasses.
"You sound like you're looking down on our Riverbend University."
"No, professor, you misunderstood." John apologized with a smile. Although what he said was true, it still wasn't appropriate to say it in front of others. After that, he wanted to leave with Sarah and Emily.
However, the teacher stopped him and snorted.
"Wait a minute, let me see what kind of talent you have to make such arrogant remarks."
"I've been to West Valley District several times, and you're the first one who dares to look down on our Riverbend University students. Don't even think about leaving without giving me an explanation today."
The middle-aged teacher's words were heard by some parents of students who had not yet left, and they turned around to watch the excitement.
"Isn't that Sarah's family? How come they're being scolded by others?"
"Who knows, it's probably because she's making trouble unreasonably. You know how she loves to take advantage."
"Tsk, she looks good now. That teacher is a ninja."
Several village women who knew Sarah discussed that gossiping and watching the excitement was what they enjoyed most.
John was so entangled that he had no choice but to show his panel.
When the middle-aged teacher saw that all his values except for physical were over 5, and the two items of Genjutsu and Spirit were far higher than ordinary students, he was dumbfounded.
"10+...what is this?" The middle-aged teacher was stunned. He had never seen such exaggerated attributes in his many years of teaching.
"I don't know either, the teacher never taught me."
"Neither did my teacher..." the middle-aged teacher whispered. After he came to his senses, the way he looked at John changed, as if admiring a piece of beautiful jade, and he held his hand enthusiastically.
"Student, are you interested in coming to our Riverbend University? I guarantee that you will receive the best treatment as a genius!"
What's going on?
The women who were gloating about his misfortune couldn't see John's panel. They were shocked by the huge difference in the teacher's attitude.
"Sorry, I haven't decided which university to go to yet." John smiled and left with Sarah and Emily, leaving behind the middle-aged teacher with a look of pity on his face and the group of shocked women.
