Elite Mages’ Academy (Web Novel) - Chapter 463: : After the Turmoil

Chapter 463: After the Turmoil

Xiao Lin’s handwriting was actually quite unique. As he was once mocked in school for his ugly handwriting, he gritted his teeth and practiced his handwriting for a long time. Although he became lazy when he arrived at university, he finally developed the skill and he had possessed it ever since.

If someone suddenly placed it in front of his eyes, he might not be able to recognize it. Just like when he first received his admissions notice, he did not think about the handwriting at all. If he looked at it again, he would inevitably get a weird feeling.

He was not very sure when he saw it in the office that afternoon, so he kept checking his handwriting throughout the night. The conclusion made him even more perplexed.

Indeed, the handwriting was exactly the same.

However, Xiao Lin was still unable to believe it. After all, looking at the rationality of the matter, it was totally unbelievable. How could Xiao Lin write himself this admissions notice from Dawn Academy?

Xiao Lin rubbed his numb head and felt like his brain was about to explode. He was trying to make sense of the whole puzzle. If Wang Yuelan was not lying, then there had to be a problem with his admissions notice. At the very least, it was not distributed through the academy’s formal channels.

Unless there really was someone whose handwriting was exactly the same as his, and that person happened to be willing to forge a perfect admissions letter to fool the student union president, the head of recruitment, and even the dean. Risking such great danger and creating a massive cover-up, just to get him into an academy?

Was this a high possibility? Xiao Lin shook his head. He felt that the probability of such idiocy was very low.

After eliminating all the impossible factors, the remaining inferences were the truth, no matter how unbelievable they were.

The fact remained: was the admissions notice really written by Xiao Lin himself?!

If this happened in the past, Xiao Lin would definitely think that it was a big joke. He might even think that the president and that artificially-intelligent life-form Bell were collaborating to deceive him, but he was not so sure now.

Xiao Lin touched his forehead, and his expression gradually turned a little strange.

He thought of the Time Rewind skill Silverlight had cast, which brought them into the corridor of history as an observer. However, when the wall of time was broken, they changed from mere bystanders to historical participants. Just like the time paradox he and Gu Xiaoyue mentioned earlier, these kinds of things were difficult to explain.

However, if they were to follow this logic, then Xiao Lin sending his own admissions notice to himself seemed to make sense.

“You must be joking!”

After a long time, Xiao Lin could not help but let out an angry cry. He was still unable to completely control the third eye on his forehead, let alone show it in public. He did not want to be thrown into a lab and treated as a monster. If he could not even control that, he could forget about the Time Rewind skill.

In fact, he was actually very interested in this skill. However, before her death, Silverlight repeatedly warned that the skill needed to be used with caution. Silverlight herself had obviously paid a certain price before casting Time Rewind, and this made Xiao Lin afraid to experiment with it lightly.

After thinking about it, Xiao Lin still did not have a clue. Although he considered what seemed to be the only possibility for a moment, it was still unrealizable from a practical point of view.

However, this matter did not actually affect Xiao Lin very much. Since he could not make sense of it, he decided to stop thinking, and he sighed. All he could do was to temporarily carry this weight in his heart. Due to this, he had also decided to take time off every day to start learning more about how to use the third eye.

Most students were completely oblivious to the turmoil that happened over the weekend. Only a few perceptive students could see the differences. Wang Dalin had been suspended from his courses. Wang Dalin was locked in his dormitory all day long, and even his daily meals were prepared by someone and sent to him. A few of his close friends wanted to visit, but the person appointed by the student union to watch over Wang Dalin refused them, saying that Wang Dalin was unwell.

Of course, there was a slight impact from this incident. Those in Class Seven who were unsatisfied or had contempt toward Xiao Lin had now completely eliminated every trace of their delusion. They did not believe in the obvious farcical nonsense of physical unwellness, and they firmly believed that this kind of treatment was inseparable from Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin was really frustrated when he heard about this private gossip from Zhou Feng. However, he did not intend to offer any sort of explanation. To him, a united and stable class was not a bad thing, even if the unity was only superficial unity.

Apart from a few unsavory friends, Wang Dalin’s interpersonal relationships were actually very poor. Most people did not actually care about whether this guy showed up or not, and the student union still had yet to come to a conclusion on how to deal with Wang Dalin. The main thing was that the president still wanted to find the person who taught Wang Dalin the forbidden technique. Compared to Wang Dalin, this matter was more important. It was because of this that Wang Dalin was able to stay on the academy grounds.

Naturally, Yu Mei could not stay in the academy for long after finishing the temporary lectures on the weekend. Before leaving, she invited Xiao Lin and Chen Dao for a private meal. As for why Chen Dao was invited, it was because due to Xiao Lin’s swindling–actually–due to Xiao Lin’s kind advice, Chen Dao was actually a member of the seventh regimen in name. Currently, it was just that there was no way to get an officer’s certificate before getting the approval of the student union. After all, Chen Dao was not Xiao Lin, and he could not be directly appointed by the dean.

They had the meal in the faculty canteen, and Xiao Lin did not know of the existence of such a canteen until today. It was specially for the cadres of the student union, as well as various professors and teachers.

If they were to ask about the difference between this and their luxurious cafeteria on the top floor of their dormitory, on top of the more chic and elegant environment, the biggest difference was that there were more dishes here. Most of them used ingredients from Planet Norma. For those who achieved Black Iron-rank, there would be no problem eating these foods.

However, when Xiao Lin accidentally learned that these ingredients were all supplied by the Logistics Department, he barely touched his chopsticks during the meal. He only smiled and said that he was on a diet. Then, watching Chen Dao wolfing down the food, the corners of his mouth kept on twitching.

Yu Mei roughly knew what was going on, and irritably rolled her eyes at Xiao Lin, but did not bother to talk to him. In fact, she specially invited Chen Dao to this meal. Xiao Lin was even sure that the woman coming to the academy to teach was just an excuse. She came just to examine Chen Dao.

Xiao Lin could tell from this woman’s expression that it was basically confirmed that Chen Dao had met her requirements. After all, as a talented recruit, he was a spell-type genius second only to Gu Xiaoyue. Chen Dao’s accomplishments were obviously impressive.
