19: Chapter 19 Top Universities Set Conditions

After confirming Su Mu's ability level, the teachers from various ability universities no longer held back.

Li Jun, who had spoken earlier, continued.

"Good! Student Su is bound to be a top-tier combat power for Huaxia in the future. I won't waste any more breath.

The terms our Military University can offer are:

First, a one-time bonus of 2 million upon enrollment, plus a B-rank weapon and a set of C-rank armor.

Second, any combat techniques below A-rank that you cultivate during your four years at university will be provided for free, though they are for your personal use only. Combat techniques above A-rank must be exchanged for with points."

As soon as the terms were stated, Principal Gao Sheng was shocked; his monthly salary was only just over ten thousand.

Giving 2 million just for enrolling—it was as if they didn't treat money like money at all.

Plus a B-rank weapon and C-rank armor.

All of that added up to another few million.

Not to mention being able to learn combat techniques for free.

Gao Sheng's mind was racing.

'These geniuses really have it good!'

Recalling his youth, in order to get a single B-rank combat technique, he and his university classmates had gone into the wild to hunt fierce beasts to earn money and points.

In the end, after a narrow escape from death and six months of effort, he finally bought the technique.

Su Mu gets to learn B-rank combat techniques for free.

However, before Gao Sheng could continue his lamenting, another teacher spoke up.

"Student Su Mu, life at Huaxia Military University is usually quite arduous, so the terms they offer aren't particularly generous. It's understandable.

Listen to the terms from our Hangdu Ability University."

The admissions director of Hangdu University spoke in a gentle tone, even though her words were direct and could even be seen as looking down on Huaxia Military University.

However, those who knew Ye Cui understood that she didn't mean it that way, because she herself was a graduate of Military University.

Huaxia Military University was a very miraculous school; the students it produced weren't necessarily the top-tier ability users.

Yet they were all mainstays in guarding humanity and resisting fierce beasts.

Li Jun glanced briefly at Ye Cui, said nothing, and sat down.

"The terms our Hangdu University offers are:

First, a one-time scholarship of 5 million upon enrollment, plus 1 million in living expenses every year. However, to receive that annual million, you must ensure your ranking in the entire grade doesn't fall out of the top five. Additionally, a set of B-rank equipment.

Second, regarding combat techniques, you can freely browse any technique below S-rank in our Hangdu University library. But similarly, this is limited to your personal study.

Third, after entering our Hangdu University, you will have one extra opportunity each year to exchange for A-rank resources.

These are the terms offered by our Hangdu University."

Ye Cui sat down immediately after speaking, because she knew these terms were certainly not enough to recruit an S-rank ability user.

Su Mu nodded slightly after listening, then looked at the other teachers.

However, two of the teachers looked slightly embarrassed and directly gave up on the idea of standing up.

There was a brief silence for about ten seconds.

Cui Yuyu, the admissions director of Kyoto University, slowly stood up; her long, slender legs were very eye-catching.

Paired with a long red dress, it made it even harder for people to look away.

"Hello, Student Su. I am the admissions director of Kyoto University. You can call me Teacher Cui, though I'd prefer if you called me Big Sister Cui."

As she spoke, she flashed a charming smile.

"Getting back to business, the terms our Kyoto University offers are:

First, a one-time scholarship of 8 million upon enrollment, plus 2 million in living expenses annually, also dependent on maintaining a grade-wide ranking. However, the ranking we require is the top three. Additionally, an A-rank weapon and a B-rank set.

Second, the terms for combat techniques are the same as Hangdu University, but the number of techniques at our Kyoto University is far greater than at Hangdu University.

Third, regarding resources, you will have one opportunity to exchange for S-rank resources after enrolling at Kyoto University. Any subsequent resources must be obtained by exchanging school points."

It was clear that Kyoto University was the wealthiest university in Huaxia, and they intended to secure him by throwing massive amounts of money at him!

Gao Sheng was already envious to the point of being unrecognizable, sitting in his seat dazed!

As expected!

After hearing Kyoto University's terms, all the teachers except for those from Modu University shook their heads slightly and leaned back against the sofas.

'As expected! Kyoto University is still the wealthiest. It looks like this genius student who awakened an S-rank ability is going to be recruited by Kyoto University.'

But to be honest, Su Mu felt that the terms these schools were offering were quite average.

Because with his system, Su Mu didn't lack things like combat techniques or money at all.

Unless it was a top-tier combat technique, like an S-rank one.

But each university had specified that techniques of S-rank and above could not be browsed freely.

If it was only this much...

Su Mu was already prepared to choose Huaxia Military University, not because Military University was so great.

Mainly because Military University students had the chance to go to the fierce beast battlefields every year, which was what mattered most to Su Mu.

Although only three of the seven people present had given their university's terms,

some people felt there was no need to continue wasting everyone's time by stating their own.

Finally!

Director He Kui of the Modu University Admissions Office slowly stood up.

With a clean-cut buzz cut, wearing a pitch-black suit and polished leather shoes,

he had the look of a 'suit-wearing thug'.

"Since everyone else is finished, I'll state the terms of our Modu Ability University."

As he spoke, He Kui turned to face Su Mu.

"Hello, Student Su Mu! I am Director He Kui of the Modu University Admissions Office.

Just call me Teacher He!

Next, I'll state the terms of our Modu University. Our terms are a bit different.

First of all, Modu University has no one-time scholarship, nor are there free combat techniques.

One, regarding resources, you have one opportunity to exchange for S-rank resources after enrollment, but all subsequent S-rank resources must be fought for by yourself. Modu University has a grade-wide competition every year, and there is a combat power ranking for students. Obtaining a high enough rank will also grant you resources."

Two, the principal of Modu Ability University is the famous Spear Saint. After you join Modu University, the principal will take you as his disciple.

After finishing the first two points, He Kui turned back to the other university teachers and bowed slightly in apology.

"Colleagues, when I came here, the principal also entrusted me with some terms that cannot be stated publicly. The following terms must be explained to Student Su in private.

I hope everyone understands."

This kind of situation wasn't unprecedented; for example, when recruiting last year's Jin Province top scorer Senior Duan Tao, Modu University had also offered some terms that couldn't be stated publicly.

Such terms were nothing more than giving some rare treasures or life-saving equipment.

So the teachers from other universities didn't have any objections.

However, Cui Yuyu, the admissions director of Kyoto University, was very distressed because before coming, she had applied to the school more than once

to use that Lightning-type treasure to recruit Su Mu.

But she had been rejected!

The reason was simple: the child of a certain school leader had also awakened an A-rank Lightning Ability, and that treasure had been given to that pampered second-generation brat.

By now, He Kui had led Su Mu to another empty classroom.

"Good!

Student Su Mu, we at Modu University have come with great sincerity. So when I state the next terms, I hope you won't mind that we investigated your background."

He Kui took the initiative to explain the prior investigation of Su Mu's background to avoid any unnecessary friction.

Su Mu could understand; even applying for a civil service job required a background check, let alone recruiting a genius who was to be cultivated with all their might.

Especially since this student was to be taken as a disciple by the principal after entering the school.

Seeing that Su Mu's expression was normal and showed no dissatisfaction, he continued.

"Good! Student Su Mu, Modu University has two more terms."

Su Mu's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly; there were actually two more terms.

The other schools only had three terms, but he hadn't expected Modu Ability University to have four.
