Chapter 32 - Recruitment
While heading to the office, Tian Wen specifically cautioned his two students to speak carefully so as not to accidentally insult the recruiters. The recruiters were actual lecturers at the colleges and were all Gods.
Han Wu and Qin Shuang nodded vigorously. The two of them almost lost to a single Demigod. Naturally, they couldn’t afford to go against a God.
Han Wu and Qin Shuang soon arrived at the office and took their seats. Before them sat six people, three of which were part of their school’s management. The other three seemed to be the recruiters.
Xu Mei introduced the two students to the recruiters. “These are the two most stellar students from the exam, Han Wu and Qin Shuang.”
The three recruiters scrutinized both Han Wu and Qin Shuang simultaneously. As Gods, they had the ability to read a portion of their information without needing an Inspection-type skill.
Han Wu grew worried, unsure if the three recruiters would notice his Exclusive Divine Talent and Sacrifice.
The three recruiters looked at each other, communicating silently with their eyes. After some contemplation, the leftmost recruiter spoke first.
“We have a rough understanding of your abilities, but we need to ask a few more questions. Let’s start with Qin Shuang. Your family has a God, so it’s likely that you don’t have to worry about money. You also obtained the corpse of a Demigod this time from the exam. I take it that you are trying to use the corpse to make a Lord life form. Am I correct?”
Qin Shuang nodded in response.
Pleased, the three recruiters nodded and checked something on their list.
Meanwhile, the school management was shocked. They hadn’t expected Qin Shuang to be able to make a Lord life form even while she was still a Divine Being. According to the recruiters, it appeared that her chances of succeeding were very high too. This was unheard of!
Most of the members of the school management had been Demigods for years, and yet none had managed to raise a Lord life form on their own. Many of them only had a couple of Heroic life forms at best. To think that they were poorer than a student! It was very demotivating.
The recruiters continued their questioning. “Qin Shuang, do you mind sharing how many Divine Essence you have? We are unable to read that information on our own.”
“I have four Divine Essence.”
Han Wu was shocked, as he hadn’t expected her to be that rich. Four Divine Essence was worth a lot of money! A single Divine Essence was worth at least 150 million Divine Points. Didn’t having four of them mean that her family had invested 600 million Divine Points into her?
It was unheard of, and it wasn’t something Han Wu could’ve possibly imagined. He never thought that a household with a God would be that rich.
The three recruiters nodded happily. “Qin Shuang, you’ve fulfilled the criteria to enroll into any of the three colleges we represent. Once you are done with your Lord life form, you can submit the form to enroll into any one of our colleges. We will place you on the reserve list so you can enter our college before the term starts.”
“Thank you.”
Qin Shuang, filled with joy, bowed politely and thanked them. She even glanced at Han Wu, as if signalling him to become her slave before it was too late.
The three recruiters then focused on Han Wu, their eyes more serious this time.
“Han Wu, your core race is the locust, right?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
It was true that locusts were his core race, and there was no way he could deny it. However, he didn’t think that it was embarrassing. On the contrary, he regarded the locusts as a good race. Without their strong reproductive capabilities, he wouldn’t have been able to reach his current situation where three recruiters were looking for him.
The three recruiters crossed something out from their list before asking again, “You only have one Divine Essence for now, is that correct?”
“Yes.” Each recruiter crossed out something once again upon hearing Han Wu’s answer.
“One last question. We are very curious as to how you obtained a member of the Heroic Swordwind race and a weakened version of the Skeleton Lord.”
Han Wu frowned. It was clear that the three recruiters couldn’t inspect his capabilities. Since that was the case, Han Wu had no reason to tell them anything either. Whether they believed it or not was one thing, but Han Wu preferred to keep his ability to Sacrifice living beings to obtain treasures hidden.
“Can I not answer that?” Han Wu replied.
The three recruiters looked at each other and nodded. “Of course. Every exceptional being has their own secrets.” Yet again, the recruiters crossed out something on their respective lists.
The three looked at the three crosses on their list, and each recruiter gave Han Wu the same response. “I’m sorry, Han Wu. Even though your performance so far has been superb, there are certain criteria that you have yet to meet. If you still wish to enroll into our colleges, carry on with your excellent performance and take the regular enrollment exam.”
The members of the school management looked at Han Wu in pity. They knew how exceptional Han Wu was, but unfortunately the three recruiters failed to notice Han Wu’s potential and power.
“I understand. I will work hard and take first place for the enrollment exams,” Han Wu answered, locking eyes with the recruiter from Imperial College. The recruiter detected his underlying intention but didn’t pay him much mind. “Then we wish you the best of luck.”
The recruiter from Imperial College was used to this. There were thousands of geniuses who wanted to enroll into Imperial College, but only a handful of them would pass the exam. Han Wu was just one of many, so the recruiter chose to ignore him.
With the meeting over, the three recruiters promptly teleported away. Tian Wen patted Han Wu’s shoulder to console him. “The requirements to enter one of the top colleges are very high. It’s normal to get rejected by them. If you don’t mind, there are some First Class Colleges who wish to place you to their reserved list.”
“Thank you, but I need to enroll into Imperial College,” Han Wu calmly replied. He still needed to complete his grandfather’s dying wish to find his parents. He had to enroll into Imperial College no matter what.
Tian Wen decided not to persuade him further, seeing how stubborn he was. Since he didn’t know about Han Wu’s grandfather, he assumed Han Wu was just frustrated and would later calm down and come to his senses.
After Tian Wen was done speaking, Xu Mei said, “Han Wu, there’s still some time before the enrollment exams begin. We can talk about your enrollment later, but there is something that the school wishes to discuss with you.”
Han Wu suddenly grew wary because Xu Mei was being more courteous than usual.
What do they want from me? He thought.
