The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Francis took them to his own dean's office.

The dean's office was located on the top floor of the Water Academy's tower. When the three of them walked to the foot of the azure tower, they felt the surrounding water magic elements suddenly become stronger.

Jiang Liujing accepted this well, but he felt uncomfortable being naked as a fire element. He frowned and always felt a layer of moisture on his skin.

Jiang Liujing noticed this and couldn't help but think about it.

If the element being restrained stays in a place with a strong restraining element for too long, it will seem uncomfortable. Grandpa Sang doesn't like to stay in a place with fire.

Chi noticed his worry and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

It's just a little annoying, not a big deal.

As soon as Francis approached the water tower, the door of the tower automatically opened for him, and the cold air hit him in the face.

As François led the two into the door, he introduced, "Each branch has a tower like this, accessible only to students and teachers from that branch. The tower is divided into three main areas: the teacher work area, the training area, and the challenge area. The challenge area is further divided into twelve floors, and this will be one of your annual semester assessments. Only by passing all twelve floors will you be eligible to graduate."

Jiang Liujing asked: "If I fail, will I never graduate?"

The dean replied, "Yes, in addition to passing the tower's tests, graduation also requires you to obtain a Level 6 badge."

“What happens if I can’t get it?”

"If you can't get it, you'll be held back," the dean said. "The school only has a tenth grade, and after tenth grade, everyone is called a repeater. No matter which college you were originally in or how many years you've been at the school, you'll be sent to a large class."

In ten years, the teacher has taught everything he should teach, and the rest is up to the students to work hard on their own.

They walked into a teleportation array and arrived at the dean's office on the top floor in an instant. The dean opened the door and let them in. As soon as they entered, they were shocked by the wonderful decoration that looked like an aquarium.

It is very normal to keep a fish tank in the house.

Keeping a pond of fish in the house is not normal but it is acceptable.

But a whole house covered in fish from wall to ceiling?

Jiang Liujing turned his head and looked at an extremely large fish that swam past him with a distance of less than 30 centimeters between them.

The big fish opened its mouth towards him, revealing a mouthful of cold, pale, sharp teeth.

Jiang Liujing was silent.

This is indeed a very unique decoration style.

François coughed lightly and invited the two to sit down on the sofa in front.

He took out a batch of exquisite refreshments from his spatial ring and placed them on the table, saying, "Don't be polite with me. Eat as much as you can. Vice President Lin Feng specifically told me that your stomach will ache easily if you skip a meal. It's past mealtime now, so you should eat something first."

Jiang Liujing suddenly asked, "Can I take a look at that letter?"

"Of course." It was originally a letter for him, so why not? François found the letter of recommendation and handed it to Jiang Liujing.

Jiang Liujing took it, opened it, and read it quickly.

Apart from the official few words of recommendation at the beginning, the three-page letter below recorded every detail of his daily life, even the dishes he usually ate and the foods he avoided.

François said, "The school cafeteria is shared by the entire school and is not controlled by our college. I can't change the cafeteria menu without permission, but I can arrange a dormitory with a kitchen for you. I think it's a privilege for you as a recommended student."

Jiang Liujing didn't say anything, but he squeezed the letter paper with a little force, causing the edges of the paper to wrinkle.

He had already seen that the half of the letter might have been written by Lin Feng, but the detailed life details below must have been told to him by Xing Yue.

The old man was usually very quiet and didn't talk much, just like Chi. But in this letter, almost every aspect was recorded in detail. It was unknown how long he and Lin Feng talked.

Chi felt the emotions surging in his heart and held his shoulders comfortingly.

François suddenly asked, "Little friend, do you have a contracted beast?"

Jiang Liujing looked up at him, not understanding why he suddenly asked this.

"You should have heard about it from other people on the way here, right? It's about the college competition." François sat down opposite them.

"The college freshman competition consists of two parts: the team competition and the individual competition. In the team competition, everyone must compete, while in the individual competition, each college selects ten people to participate. The final total score will be determined based on the ranking of both teams."

"The use of contracted beasts is allowed in individual competitions, so whether or not one has a contracted beast will have a significant impact on the individual competition results."

Other colleges may need to conduct further selection, but the situation of their Water College is already very clear. Jiang Liujing must be one of the ten people participating in the individual competition.

From the dean's perspective, of course he hopes that the strongest freshman in their department already has a contracted beast. After all, fighting one against one and fighting one against two are two completely different situations.

Jiang Liujing understood what he meant and nodded, saying, "I do have a contract partner."

Before François could show any joy on his face, Jiang Liujing added, "But I don't plan to let him play."

François: “…?”

Such cold words.

His smile froze for a moment before returning to normal. He picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip. "Is there something special going on?"

He guessed, "Advancing? We also have alchemy potions that can be provided to mythical beasts, which can shorten the advancement time. There is still a week and a half before the college competition begins."

Jiang Liujing shook his head.

Chi's situation was beyond the Dean's imagination.

Who could have imagined that there were mythical beasts on the continent that could transform into human form before reaching the ninth level? Even though he didn't know much about the outside world, Jiang Liujing knew very well that this was not a secret that could be exposed.

Although Chi could also fight with him in his original form, the problem still existed: his species, the Soul Beast, had become extinct on the continent, and would inevitably attract attention if they reappeared.

They are not strong enough to ignore the outside world's prying eyes now, so Jiang Liujing does not intend to let Chi appear unless it is absolutely necessary.

I just feel a little regretful that I can’t be with Chi.

As he thought this, he suddenly felt his hand being grasped by another familiar hand. At the same time, a deep voice echoed through his mind, echoing the imprint of the contract: "Promise him."

Jiang Liujing couldn't help but open his eyes wide in surprise: "Chi?"

"It's okay, I have another way." Chi's voice was firm.

He would not let Miaomiao face such an unequal situation of one against two alone. Even if Miaomiao did not mind, Chi would think it was a great shame for him as a contracted beast - when his contracted partner needed him, he could not be by his side.

Jiang Liujing didn't understand why, but since Chi said so, he turned to the dean and said, "If there is a compelling situation, I will summon him."
