Chapter 282: Following Mu Ningxue to Lead Graduates
Pearl Academy does not impose many restrictions on its students. Students can stay at the school if they wish, as long as they complete the tasks assigned by the school each year. If students want to graduate, they can, but there are three types of graduation.
The first type is completion, which means finishing one's studies but not receiving the Pearl Academy Magic Graduation Badge. These students are often those whose strength has stagnated, and Pearl Academy reluctantly acknowledges that they have studied there but does not recognize them as qualified graduates.
The second type is graduation, which involves completing the corresponding graduation tasks with a mentor. The mentor will report the student's performance to the school, and then the department heads and teachers will decide whether the student is qualified to graduate, and issue the Magic Graduation Badge.
Pearl Academy's Magic Graduation Badge carries significant weight. When presented to the Magic Association, Hunter Union, or aristocratic families, it serves as a symbol of strength and status. Basically, qualified graduates from Pearl Academy's Magic Institute are quickly recruited by society! The third type of graduation is called Excellent Graduation.
Excellent Graduation requires making sufficient contributions to the school. Once the school determines that a student can be granted an Excellent Graduation Badge, it arranges for the student to work with a renowned mentor on a research project or task. Then, based on the student's performance, feedback is given to the school, and the mentor, Dean, and department head jointly determine whether the student can receive the title of Excellent Graduate.
Students who achieve Excellent Graduation receive a Pearl Badge, representing Pearl Academy's high recognition of an outstanding mage. These Excellent Graduates are not just recruited by society; they are sought after by major powers. Those who can achieve Excellent Graduation are not only exceptionally strong but, more importantly, they are young! Youth means infinite possibilities. Major powers like to frequent various academies precisely because they hope to unearth potential candidates who can reach Gaoyi. One more Gaoyi means one more asset, and if by chance a Super-Order Mage emerges, it's an absolute windfall!
Those who graduate with Excellent Graduation from Pearl Academy are basically Gaoyi, mostly under 25 years old. To put it nicely, they are excellent graduates; to put it bluntly, they are a bunch of magic monsters!
Excellent Graduation is a unified standard across national universities. The difficulty of graduation assessments, graduation tasks, and the level of student contributions are used to measure a school's status and influence within the country, largely by calculating the number of Excellent Graduates!
Pearl Academy ranks second nationally, and the number of its Excellent Graduates is also second.
The rewards for Excellent Graduates are extremely generous, which is why Mu Ningxue insisted on coming. Well, this generosity is actually only for the cultivation stage of a Gaoyi.
After all, not everyone is like Mo Fan, who was ridiculously strong during his Gaoyi phase.
And there are very few like him who are Super-Order at the age of twenty-something.
Super-Order Mages are almost all in their thirties.
Therefore, those who can complete Excellent Graduation before the age of twenty-five are undoubtedly geniuses!
Dean Xiao flipped through for a while, then suddenly thought of something, and another smile appeared on his face as he looked at Mo Fan.
Although Mo Fan felt something was off about Dean Xiao's gaze, he still said with a smile, "Dean Xiao, just tell me directly what you need me to do."
"Our graduation mentor went for further studies and left a large number of research projects and tasks without anyone to lead them. I think asking a mentor to lead you two to do things would probably not be difficult for you. If it's not difficult to complete, it's naturally hard for me to approve you for Excellent Graduation, right? How about this, Mo Fan, I'll give you a mentor qualification and let you lead a team of graduating students to do a graduation project," Dean Xiao said happily.
After all, Pearl Academy had provided him with a lot of help during his initial growth.
Therefore, upon hearing Dean Xiao's request, Mo Fan did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
He was already going to look for Yu Shishi anyway, so it was also a convenient matter.
In a classroom corridor in a teaching building by Pearl Lake at Pearl Academy, bright sunlight shone 270 degrees into the fully floor-to-ceiling windowed classroom, illuminating the tables, chairs, instruments, and hanging lamps, but not Mo Fan's handsome face as he sat at the classroom's podium.
Currently, only Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue were in the classroom, but a group of graduates would arrive in half an hour. At this moment, he was casually chatting with Mu Ningxue.
Well, it wasn't a very serious conversation, because Mo Fan's hands were not idle at all.
To this, Mu Ningxue merely let out a series of playful complaints~
Of course, when he heard someone approaching, he also stopped his actions.
There were six people in total. As soon as they entered the classroom, an older-looking student saw Mo Fan sitting at the podium. He immediately frowned and said, "Classmate, what are you doing? Even if the mentor hasn't arrived yet, don't sit in his old man's seat. If you leave a bad impression on the mentor, none of us will get our graduation badges smoothly."
At this moment, the handsome cool man also walked over, trying to pull Mo Fan down from the podium, and at the same time, he said, "I'm different from them. I want to get the Excellent Graduation Badge, so you'd better not do anything that makes the mentor unhappy, or I won't let you off!"
"Bang!"
But before he could get close to Mo Fan, he felt a pushing force. The next moment, he was directly slammed against the wall.
Mo Fan clearly did nothing, but the few people were stunned!
Because they felt a very strong spatial power!!
The handsome cool man was momentarily dazed, then immediately moved to use magic, but Mo Fan casually said, "Kid, I am the teacher who is here to lead you in your graduation task."
"Ah!?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned!
This guy, who looked about their age, was actually their new mentor!
However, Mo Fan's strength was evident. Bai Hongfei, who had just been thrown out, was also a well-known figure at Pearl Academy.
But Bai Hongfei was a mere rookie in front of Mo Fan, so it was possible that this was true!
"He is indeed your new mentor, and I am his assistant. Everyone, please guide us in the future," Mu Ningxue also said at this time.
Beautiful women always command credibility.
What's more, she was the goddess of Pearl Academy!
Although Mu Ningxue could also graduate, who didn't know Mu Ningxue?
Suddenly, someone reacted and exclaimed, "You… you wouldn't happen to be our Pearl Academy's Great Mo Fan senior, would you!?"
"Yes, it's me," Mo Fan nodded.
At this moment, when Mo Fan said he was their mentor, no one was unconvinced.
The Great Demon of Pearl Academy, who didn't know him!
"Mentor, I'm sorry, I… I didn't know you were—" Bai Hongfei suddenly lost his temper. That fierce, evil expression turned into a stuttering little innocent boy, not daring to lift his head.
Leaving aside Mo Fan's past deeds, for now, he was a teacher.
He naturally quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake, and at the same time, he felt that he had been a bit impulsive.
