Chapter 1060: Chapter 29: The Professor’s Intentions
The elderly and slow old professor was the last to arrive.
All the lower-grade professors are here.
“Everyone, you may already have guessed the reason I called you here… Mr. Lu Li has t the credits needed for promotion.”
The professors did not show much surprise. As Professor Hagrid ntioned, they had expected this.
Despite this, considering Lu Li’s almost complete lack of foundation regarding the Weird Tis, there is still unavoidable astonishnt at his academic talent.
“Mr. Lu Li stopped attending my class three days ago,” Professor Rubacher said, no longer needing the slow-paced Alchemy class.
“In Botany class, he was always reading books, which is why he passed the Botany Level 1 trial,” the Botany professor agreed.
“He used so small tricks in the class and trial, but Divination Study does not consider him to be ‘cheating,'” an unnad lady mumbled to herself.
With resignation, Professor Caesar had nothing to say—linguistics were never part of Lu Li’s plan. Caesar only saw Lu Li during his early days as a new student and al periods.
But all professors recognized and praised Lu Li.
Only Mavin, the boorish Combat Skills Class professor, showed so dissatisfaction: “He never attends Combat Skills Class, except for those early days as a new student.”
“Mr. Lu Li is a born scholar; combat would waste his talent,” Professor Rubacher said, earning the nod from Professor Hagrid.
“It’s more important to defeat the weirdness,” the boorish Mavin professor snorted coldly.
“It is more important to study how to defeat the weirdness,” argued the Inner World Study professor, a believer in the Midnight Sect.
Professor Hagrid restrained their argunt, returning to the matter of Lu Li’s advancent.
“Although rare, in the twenty years since Giant Tree Academy’s founding, there shouldn’t have been a lack of similar cases, right?” Professor Caesar inquired: “How did the academy handle it back then?”
“It was naturally approved,” the old professor paused slightly, slowly adding: “Only back then, the rules of Giant Tree Academy were still rudintary, more akin to a minimized version of the external jungle laws… Perhaps it should start from when grades were given aning ten years ago. Let think… Batiya Horn used only one week to advance to the middle grade, and the academy did not obstruct.”
“The Horn Family, huh…” Professor Hagrid lanted the heritage of Bloodline Families, suddenly recalling in astonishnt: “A victim of Blighted Bite?!””It was him.” The old professor nodded heavily, recalling the grueso ritual even after ten years.
“So we must not let Lu Li advance to the middle grade so swiftly,” Professor Hagrid said.
“Blighted Bite was re coincidence, nobody could have expected the academy to…” The Inner World Study professor supporting Lu Li’s advancent quickly held his tongue, instead suggesting, “Perhaps we should consult Vice Principal Chris, she might know how to arrange for Lu Li.”
Professor Hagrid sighed, “That’s the crux of the problem. Professor Chris does not object to Lu Li’s advancent at present…”
The office fell into a brief silence.
“He’s not ready to advance to the middle grade…” The unnad lady babbled incoherently, her voice standing out in the quiet.
“Agreed. It is too early for Lu Li to advance to the middle grade,” Professor Rubacher concurred.
“I don’t think His Excellency Lulian is incapable of adapting there,” Professor Caesar frowned and said.
“I believe Professor Rubacher’s point is that Mr. Lu Li is not yet familiar enough with the academy, not adequately understanding ‘aning’,” the old professor replied.
The boorish Mavin professor crossed his arms: “Unnecessary worry. Don’t forget where he ca from, the Land of Light. Additionally, he hails from the Old Era and is an Exorcist. The significance he carries makes the academy redundant in deepening it.”
“Professor Mavin is correct, Lu Li cos from the Old Era, which remains fresh in our mories,” the old professor said.
“Precisely so, if his mind falls into the abyss it will be irreversible; don’t forget those fallen heroes.”
“Lu Li is a legendary Exorcist, he is different!”
“No one is born a legend, even in great glory, the day of its demise will eventually co, just as there is no eternal reign.”
“Everyone… everyone!” Professor Hagrid had to shout to stop the disputes in the office: “I called everyone not for quarrel… well, let’s discuss Mr. Lu Li’s progress first.”
“Mr. Lu Li is learning faster than expected, he has a high likelihood of passing the Alchemy Level 2 trial now,” Professor Rubacher said.
Usually, for students starting from scratch, it takes about one to two months to master Level 1 knowledge, and Lu Li’s speed is evidently too fast, making one instinctively worry whether he has genuinely grasped this knowledge.
“He should learn Divination Study,” the unnad lady murmured dreamily.
“And then transform into sothing neither human nor ghost due to excessive contact with the Inner World within a few years or even months?” the boorish Mavin professor sarcastically remarked.
“He possesses talent and power to suppress contamination! The brother of the Wild Lion.”
“Do not call that! The woman forgetting her own identity due to excessive exposure to the Inner World!”
The boorish Mavin professor and the unnad lady clashed fiercely, their raised voices blending into the increasingly loud disputes among other professors, conscious that Hagrid was about to intervene.
“We have no reason to hold him back.” Professor Caesar quietly comnted.
The office on the brink of turmoil fell silent once more.
The lifeless sunlight stread into the room through the curtains.
Professor Hagrid raised his head.
“I have an idea.”
…
“What is it?”
Lu Li quietly watched as Professor Hagrid ca to his dormitory.
Professor Hagrid seed to sense an oppressive aura from the calm gaze, but he could only brace himself and say: “We hope you can continue accumulating credits and achieve the Seed Promotion.”
Above standard promotion are excellent promotion and seed promotion, corresponding to the accumulation of 15 credits and 20 credits.
“Okay.” Lu Li didn’t refuse.
The credits awarded from completing the Human Theory would suffice for Lu Li to advance to middle grade as a seed.
Professor Hagrid also realized this; he could only gently hint that the professors hoped Lu Li could stay in the lower grade a while longer.
“What is the reason?”
Very complex…
Professor Hagrid thought, presenting the prepared reasoning: “The middle grade only teaches Levels 3 to 6 knowledge, your trial progress will not beco faster there, and you lack teammates.”
Beginning in middle grades, students will start taking missions and going out for trials, which could be in restricted areas, the surface, or old sewers. Teamwork becos crucial.
“The heir from the Lins Family and Dog at, whom you have the best relationship with, need ti to advance to high grade. If you enter middle grade now, awaiting you will be unfamiliar teammates.”
“My suggestion is to first select suitable teammates in the soon-to-be-promoted lower or higher grades, then enter the middle grade.”
Lu Li quietly pondered, nodding to Professor Hagrid: “I will consider it.”
