Chapter 47: Internal Selection of the Captain
“Do you know that every academy holds a competition on a regular basis?”
The principal looked at Lin Ming and voiced out his inner thoughts.
Originally, he had wanted to praise this kid first, but looking at Lin Ming’s serious appearance, he didn’t seem like someone who would fall for this.
“Yes, I’ve heard of him.”
Lin Ming nodded.
Regular competitions could not only maintain the vitality of every academy, but also fill every student with fighting spirit.
After all, if one could make a name for themselves in such competitions, all the empires would fight for it.
Moreover, the amount of resources was enough to accumulate a high-tier Mage!
“This time, our Green Academy will have you as the captain. Are you willing?”
The principal looked at Lin Ming and asked.
Regardless of whether Lin Ming agreed or not, this decision would not change.
Lin Ming’s strengths, magic power and so on, could not be compared to those of higher-grade Mages.
Even if the strongest mage of the higher-grade led the academy, it would still be difficult for them to escape from being at the bottom.
But if Lin Ming became the captain, then it would be different!
“I…”
Lin Ming instinctively wanted to reject. After all, he still wanted to keep a low profile, especially in this academy.
“The academy that is ranked first will have extremely high rewards. And as the captain of the first ranked academy, do you know what kind of rewards there will be?”
The principal was already prepared for Lin Ming to reject. Without waiting for Lin Ming to finish, he directly interrupted him.
“What reward?”
Although he knew about the regular competitions between the academies, he wasn’t too sure about the details.
However, in his opinion, the rewards of the top ranked academies should be about the same.
“The captain of the top ranked academy will be specially approved to enter the spiritual spring pool for cultivation!”
The principal took a deep breath and said.
“Spiritual spring pool?”
Lin Ming frowned. Although he didn’t know what this was, but from the principal’s tone, he could tell that the spiritual spring pool was definitely an excellent place for cultivation!
“That’s right. Our Green Academy has never received such an honor in such a long time.”
The principal sighed.
“Our Green Academy has always been at the bottom.”
In the principal’s heart, this had always been a humiliation, but there was nothing he could do about it.
“Entering the spiritual spring pool to cultivate, even the most heaven-defying person could complete one’s cultivation and crossed a whole three tiers!”
When the principal said this, his tone was full of envy.
“So powerful?”
A whole three tiers. Even Lin Ming was extremely shocked.
After all, strictly speaking, he was only a Tier 3 Mage.
“So, are you willing to be the captain?”
The principal looked at Lin Ming and asked seriously.
“I’m willing.”
Lin Ming nodded. The benefits of the spiritual spring pool were definitely not as simple as breaking through!
“Okay!”
The principal nodded in satisfaction.
“However, if I were to announce you as the captain, there would definitely be people in the higher grades who would be unconvinced. Do you have the confidence to defeat them one by one?”
The principal asked.
“Of course.”
Lin Ming nodded his head indifferently. He did not feel any pressure at all.
“Alright then. The competition will begin immediately. I will announce this matter at the teacher-student meeting tomorrow.”
The principal laughed heartily. He was actually a little excited.
“Right, don’t use your Dazzling Dragon Spell unless you have no other choice. Do you remember it?”
The principal looked at Lin Ming and spoke once more seriously.
“You…”
He had just finished cultivating the Dazzling Dragon Spell, and the principal already knew about it?
“Every blade of grass and every tree in the academy is under my control. Thus, I have taken note of your cultivation as well.”
The principal did not hide anything. He used the magic power in his hands and the magic crystal in front of him immediately lit up, reflecting every blade of grass and every tree in the entire academy.
“If the team you lead this time can become number one, then this magic crystal will be my gift to you.”
The principal did not hesitate either. He directly drew a big cake and encouraged Lin Ming.
“Okay.”
Lin Ming nodded. After exchanging a few words with the principal, he left the principal’s office.
Lin Ming did not return to the dormitory immediately. Instead, he took a turn.
He was ready to take a look at Ernest’s current situation.
“Are you alright?”
Arriving beside Ernest, Lin Ming asked.
“Just now, each family was enveloped by a terrifying force. Although this force quickly disappeared, but…”
Ernest let out a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Ming.
That feeling just now was really uncomfortable.
“Ernest, please…”
At this moment, a voice sounded from outside.
It was the heads of the families that had arrived.
The reason they had arrived here was because they wanted Ernest to invite Lin Ming over to protect them.
“Young hero! You’re here too, just now…”
Everyone looked at Lin Ming as if they saw a life-saving straw.
“Alright, I know what happened.”
Lin Ming looked at the terrified expressions of the people around him and could guess that it wasn’t too far off.
“Did Matthew’s corpse move? Or disappear?”
Lin Ming looked at the heads of the various families and asked.
“It did move. We also brought his corpse here.”
A head of the various families hurriedly nodded.
“Hang Matthew’s corpse at the entrance of the black market. From now on, no one will find trouble with you.”
Lin Ming spoke. Since they had just been enveloped by a terrifying aura, and this aura had quickly disappeared, it did not destroy the black market.
This could only mean one thing.
The person who came to take revenge had detected the remaining black fire in Matthew’s body!
“But…”
Wouldn’t such a brazen act attract even greater revenge?
“You can trust me.”
“Also, I don’t want to repeat myself.”
Lin Ming spoke. Although he looked like he was only a Tier 3 Mage, he had pressured all the heads from the various families present.
“Do it quickly!”
The heads from various families quickly ordered their subordinates.
“The profits from today have been transferred to your Magic Crystal Card.”
One of the head from the various families faced Lin Ming and spoke respectfully.
“I’ve said before that no one would dare to take revenge on you. You just have to believe me.”
Lin Ming looked at the people who were still surrounding him and sighed.
“If there’s nothing else, please leave.”
Lin Ming waved his hand and was too lazy to continue chatting with them.
“Yes, young hero. If there’s anything else in the future, please feel free to tell me.”
The heads of the families all left respectfully.
“Lin Ming, just how many secrets do you have that I don’t know?”
Ernest looked at Lin Ming. They were clearly closed with each other, but he gave off a stranger feeling.
“I am who I am, a different firework.”
Lin Ming smiled and joked.
