106: Chapter 106, Third Appearance!

Another teacher couldn't help but say,

"Just two rounds in, and there are already over 200 people."

"There hasn't been a single one that actually caught my eye."

"Only that Lu Yang from just now was decent!"

"At this rate, it feels like our current batch won't be able to compete with the other three top schools."

At this moment, Teacher Huang Chen heard these words, but her expression didn't change in the slightest.

She was the director of the admissions office.

Her presence here right now was, of course, to take a look at the students recruited this time.

To assess the level of these students and summarize the results.

As for what the teachers said just now, Teacher Huang Chen knew it was purely dissatisfaction with the students' performance, not directed at her.

After all, it had already been discussed in previous meetings that the resources for this batch were indeed subpar.

Especially regarding the quality of the top-tier students.

After all, everyone focuses on those top-tier students every year.

This was also something that couldn't be helped.

It was certainly a good thing that they managed to snatch Bai Ye, but the other three schools, having lost out on Bai Ye, acted like they had gone mad, launching a frantic pursuit of the other students.

This resulted in only three people from the top 20 coming to this school.

If we expand the ranking a bit, only about ten students from the top 50 in the nation came to the Magic City Esper School!

This number was already extremely low.

After all, under normal circumstances, the appeal of the Magic City Esper School is usually very, very high.

It's usually normal for sixteen or seventeen out of every 50 to come here.

This year, it was short by a full six or seven people.

The disparity in the strength of the top-tier students is evident!

Because of this, Teacher Huang Chen herself was even being questioned.

"Is Bai Ye really worth such a high price?"

To the point of giving up several other equally top-tier students.

Teacher Huang Chen could only hope.

Wait for Bai Ye to make his move in a moment.

Let these teachers witness the true strength of this top-tier student.

Then no one would question her again.

At this moment, Xiao Gui, the dean of the Support Academy, also spoke up.

"Didn't we already discuss this? Since we secured this year's national number one, the number of students in other rankings will certainly decrease."

"This situation is not unexpected."

Xiao Gui appeared very calm and composed.

He also knew that Teacher Huang Chen was certainly too lazy to explain in this situation.

So he helped speak up.

After hearing this, Teacher Tu Ming nodded and said,

"Sigh, of course I know about this situation."

"But seeing that these students lack strength, I am truly anxious."

"Judging by their average strength, they are far below the level of last year and the year before."

"I estimate that this batch of students won't even reach the top two among all the top-tier universities."

"Third place at best!"

Teacher Tu Ming suspected that the Beijing Ability User School and the Shanhe Ability User School would likely have much higher student quality than theirs.

After hearing his opinion, even the other teachers couldn't help but nod in agreement; it was truly the case.

The strength of these four top Ability User Schools was indeed quite close.

However, they did have rankings.

Generally speaking, the top two were fixed.

They were the Magic City Esper School and the Beijing Ability User School.

First and second place were produced between them, competing with each other.

As for the Shanhe and Renfangyu schools, they were between third and fourth place.

That was a relatively balanced existence.

However, based on the quality of this year's candidates, such a situation was indeed possible.

After all, the most important factor for overall quality was the level of the top 100 candidates, and this time, their top 100 were much worse.

It might even be the worst batch in the last 20 years.

Let alone third place, I'm afraid they could only fight for fourth place.

Although Bai Ye's strength was very high, he was, after all, just one person.

For one person to raise the level of thousands, that was basically impossible.

Even for a Genius, it was the same.

Vice Principal Zhao Chengxuan had been watching without speaking, but now he spoke calmly,

"Alright, there is no need to be anxious."

"Everyone has seen the file on this student, Bai Ye, right?"

"In just one month, he went from not even being a first-round Esper to reaching the level of national number one; his talent is self-evident."

"And now, more than two months have passed."

"Bai Ye's strength should be even greater than before."

"Perhaps he will give you all some surprises."

After hearing this, Teacher Tu Ming couldn't help but envy the Vice Principal's positive mindset.

No matter what situation he encountered, he always managed to remain so calm.

And just at this moment, the dean of another academy couldn't help but speak up.

"Why haven't we seen that student yet?"

Teacher Tu Ming couldn't help but ask,

"Who are you looking for?"

That dean said: "Of course, Pan Jie!"

"I have been looking forward to this student's performance for a long time."

"Relying on an A-rank talent to make it into the top 30 in the nation shows that this person's level is quite extraordinary."

"Especially in this kind of melee situation, it is the best opportunity for him to shine."

"Even those with s-rank talents might not be his match."

"I really want to see what kind of surprise he will give me!"

The second round of the arena tournament didn't last very long, ending in about half an hour.

And this time, there were no participants with higher levels of strength.

The first place winner only defeated 17 people.

Compared to someone like Lu Yang, it was completely on a different level.

As for the excitement of the battles, there was nothing to see.

Previously, many students had unleashed large-scale Superpowers, creating quite good visual effects.

Whether it was strength or other aspects, it was eye-catching.

But the second round of the arena was much worse; many people's Superpowers were not very powerful, and if viewed from a distance, they were basically invisible.

The students watching from the sidelines all shook their heads, expressing their deep disappointment.

At this moment, as they left the stage, the selection for the third round finally began.

It was still over 100 people.

Bai Ye watched for a long time, but his name did not appear.

However, he did see another person's name here.

Fang Zihao!

Fang Zihao, this year's third place in the nation, was an existence with quite formidable strength.

He was definitely an important focus of the entire venue.

Seeing him appear immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"Fang Zihao is here, let's see how he performs this time!"

"After all, he is in the national top three; such strength is definitely very powerful and cannot be compared to others."

"I hope he can contribute an exciting match."

Soon, all the selected students were on the arena stage, but everyone tacitly kept a great distance from Fang Zihao.
