"Ji Dong, Grade 1 Fire Elemental Apprentice, failed." Xia Tian frowned as he announced Ji Dong's result. The dissatisfaction and disappointment in his eyes were obvious. Yang Bingtian, who was sitting in front of Ji Dong, also sighed. His eyes were filled with disappointment. Even though he knew that it would be extremely difficult for Ji Dong to become a Yin And Yang Magician, since he had given him the Crystal Crown, he still had a glimmer of hope. However, it seemed that there was no progress in the past year. The teachers couldn't help but frown as they looked at Ji Dong. Obviously, if this continued, no matter how hard Ji Dong tried, he wouldn't be able to condense the Yin Yang Crown.
Xia Tian said in a deep voice, "Okay, the end of the first year's final exam is over. Leave the hall in order. Ji Dong, you stay."
The first year students walked out one by one. Bissou and Carr walked at the back. When they passed the rostrum, they saw Hyōhime's eyes were filled with worry. According to the rules of the Fire Academy, no matter what age, if one failed the exam, they would be expelled. This was because failing the exam meant that they wouldn't have the chance to become a Yin And Yang Magician. Continuing to study would be a waste of time. This would affect the enrollment rate and the reputation of the academy. At the same time, it was good for the students to be expelled. After all, even if they couldn't become a Yin And Yang Magician, they could still learn other things while they were still young.
The first year students walked out one by one, leaving only the teachers and Ji Dong standing in front of the rostrum.
Xia Tian came to Ji Dong's side and said in a deep voice, "Ji Dong, you should know the rules of the academy. In the past year, the academy has given you the best guidance, but you still haven't made any progress. There are only two possibilities. One is that you haven't practiced hard this year, so you can't improve your strength. The other is that your talent isn't suitable to become a Yin And Yang Magician. As your homeroom teacher, no matter the reason, I have to expel you."
Before last night, Ji Dong was full of confidence for today's exam. Naturally, he didn't think about this problem. At this moment, when Mr. Xia Tian made the decision to expel him, he couldn't help but be surprised. The quality of teaching in the Fire Academy was quite good. This year, he had learned a lot. Moreover, there was another important reason why he didn't want to leave the academy. If he left, where would he find the money to buy a private bar with most of the best alcohol in the market? Without a bar, how was he going to mix drinks for the Flaming Bar?
If mixing drinks for Dean Yang Bingtian was his job, then mixing drinks for the Flaming Bar was his biggest wish.
Thinking of this, Ji Dong said eagerly, "Mr. Xia Tian, I've really tried my best. Please give me another chance. I'll definitely pass the exam next year."
Xia Tian frowned and shook his head. "Ji Dong, people have a few chances in their lives. Since you didn't grasp it, then you've missed the opportunity. The school rules are iron-clad. Since you failed the exam, you're not qualified to continue studying in the academy. Moreover, your Yin and Yang attribute is balanced, so you're indeed not suitable to practice the Yin And Yang Magician. It's just a waste of time to continue. Go back and pack your things. I'll send you out of the academy tomorrow. Perhaps, there's a better path for you."
At this moment, a sharp voice came from the teacher's chair. "Xia Tian, he's just a piece of trash. Why are you wasting so much time talking to him? Hurry up and get him to leave. There are still five years waiting for our exam. "
Ji Dong looked in the direction of the voice. It was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had a cold expression, fair skin, and a sharp voice. He didn't even need to ask to know that this was the teacher of the Fuhuo series. He hadn't noticed him before.
Xia Tian turned his head and glared at the teacher. "Mr. Liu Jun, please watch your words. My student isn't a piece of trash."
Liu Jun snorted and said, "He's not a piece of trash. He's still a Level 1 Apprentice after a year. I really don't understand how he was allowed to enter the academy. Yin and Yang are balanced. This is a rare piece of trash that only appears once in a hundred years. You're lucky to find him."
"You …" Xia Tian was suddenly enraged. With his fiery temper, he turned his head and was about to rush forward.
"Enough." Yang Bingtian finally opened his mouth. He waved his hand at Xia Tian, signaling him to calm down. At the same time, he looked at the teacher named Liu Jun and said, "Mr. Liu, please watch your words. No matter what kind of student he is, since he came to our Fire Academy to study, he is a part of the academy. There are many reasons why he didn't do well in the exam. I don't want to hear the same words in the future. We have to respect every student."
Liu Jun didn't say anything. Yang Bingtian finally looked at Hyōhime and sighed. In front of so many teachers, he couldn't show favoritism even if he wanted to. He gave Ji Dong the two crystal crowns, which meant he had tried his best. Although the result was within his expectation, the dean didn't want to accept it. Drinking the wine made by Ji Dong every day had become a habit. At the same time, he had really fallen in love with this quiet kid who was good at making drinks.
"Ji Dong, this is the academy's rule. I hope you understand. You can go back now." Although Yang Bingtian didn't want to, he felt the same as Xia Tian. Letting Ji Dong continue to study was a waste of time. Moreover, he didn't pass the exam, and the other teachers wouldn't let him go either. He had decided to send Ji Dong to the Bartenders Guild after all the exams were over. That should be the best stage for Ji Dong.
At this moment, the door of the auditorium was suddenly pushed open. Four people walked in.
"Who is so rude?" Liu Jun, the teacher of the Fuhuo series, didn't have a place to vent his anger. The teachers of the Fire Academy were all here, and the people who came in from the outside could only be students.
The people who came in were indeed students, but when Liu Jun saw the person walking in the front, he couldn't continue his scolding. The expression on his face was replaced by a smile. On the contrary, Xia Tian frowned and said in a low voice, "Who let you in? Don't you know it's the final exam? Zhu Tian, you are already a sixth-grade student. Don't you know the rule? "
Of the four people who came in, three were familiar to Ji Dong: Carr, Bissou, and Zhu Gui. The one walking in the front was a slender young man who looked sixteen or seventeen years old. He had a dignified appearance and looked at least sixty percent similar to Zhu Gui. There was an indescribable quality about him. Although he was young, he walked with a majestic gait.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xia Tian. Teachers, deans, I'm sorry to disturb you. I heard from Gui that there is a junior in the first grade who cultivates both Yin and Yang elements at the same time. I hope you can give this junior a chance and let him try for another year."
Zhu Tian's voice was clear and powerful, neither servile nor overbearing. Ji Dong looked at him in surprise, then looked at Zhu Gui next to him and the anxious Carr and Bissou behind him. He didn't expect that Zhu Gui would find someone to help him.
Xia Tian said in a low voice, "Zhu Tian, you should know that this is the school's rule."
Zhu Tian smiled and said, "Mr. Xia Tian, rules are dead, but people are alive. This junior Ji Dong cultivates two elements, which is not common. Naturally, it is different from our normal cultivation. Maybe his results will explode next year?"
"Enough." Xia Tian said in a low voice, "Zhu Tian, you have to remember that you are only a student of the Fire Academy. You have no right to interfere with any of the school's decisions. Get out of here immediately. Since you broke into the hall, you will be punished to run one lap around the city."
Zhu Tian was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but look at Xia Xia with a strange gaze. He then turned his head to look at Zhu Gui beside him with a helpless expression on his face.
"Mr. Zhu Tian is right. Rules are dead, but people are alive. Ji Dong didn't pass the assessment, but let him decide his own life." Yang Bingtian and Hyōhime said, "Ji Dong, you have two choices now. One is to leave the school, and the other is if you want, you can attend the next year's classes as an auditing student. You don't need to pass any assessment before graduation, but you are not a real student of the Fire Academy. Of course, if you change your mind, you can leave the school at any time. At the end of the six years, you have to pass the graduation assessment to be a graduate of the Fire Academy."
Auditing student? Auditing student is fine too! As long as he didn't leave the school, Ji Dong didn't mind. What surprised him was that no one, including the teacher named Liu Jun, objected to President Yang's obvious act of shielding Ji Dong.
"I'm willing to stay as an auditing student," Ji Dong answered immediately.
Yang Bingtian smiled and said, "Okay, you can all leave. But you heard what Mr. Xia Tian said. Ji Dong, they are here to plead for you. You have to accept the punishment together with them. You have to run around the city."
"Yes."
Outside the hall, Bissou and Carr cheered at the same time. They hugged Ji Dong and said, "Boss, you don't have to be persuaded to leave. It's great that we can stay together until graduation."
"It's not necessarily a good thing for him." Zhu Tian's clear voice sounded. Bissou and Carr looked at him in surprise.
Zhu Tian looked at Ji Dong and said, "I have never heard of a person with a balance of Yin and Yang physique being able to cultivate to become a Yin And Yang Magician. Junior, if you want to achieve something, you really have to work hard."
Ji Dong said sincerely, "Zhu Tian, thank you."
Zhu Tian waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Little Gui. I'll go and complete the punishment first. Goodbye." As he said this, he turned his body, and without seeing how he did it, he had already leaped out like an arrow. Wearing the Third Fire Department uniform, he had run out of the school in the blink of an eye. It was as if he was flying close to the ground. Ji Dong and the other two couldn't help but secretly praise him. So fast.
Ji Dong's eyes turned to Zhu Gui. Just as he was about to speak, Zhu Gui said first, "You don't have to thank me. You are a member of the Third Fire Department in the first year. Moreover, I know you didn't make no progress because you were lazy, so I helped you."
Ji Dong was taken aback and said, "How do you know I'm not lazy?"
Zhu Gui said lightly, "A lazy person can silently run and exercise strength on the field every day, rain or shine. However, whether or not you can become a Yin And Yang Magician depends on you. No one can help you in this regard. I hope that during the graduation assessment, you can be my opponent."
After speaking, she also turned and ran in the direction of Zhu Tian.
Looking at Zhu Gui's back as he left, Bissou couldn't help saying, "This tomboy isn't without redeeming qualities. Why do I feel that she is a little cute today?"
Carr snorted angrily and said, "Forget it. I don't know who is thinking about taking revenge on her every day."
Bissou said, "That's a different thing. I haven't forgotten the humiliation from back then. However, this tomboy doesn't seem to be so annoying."
Ji Dong said, "Can you tell me what's going on? Why is it that when that Zhu Tian appeared, the teachers seemed to give him face? "
Carr said, "Zhu Tian is an influential figure in our academy. Boss, you really don't pay attention to what's going on outside the window. Zhu Tian completed the Yin Yang Crown when he was in his fourth year and began to cultivate both magic and magic at the same time. He will graduate this year and is one of the students our academy will send to a higher school. At the same time, he is also Zhu Gui's brother. Just now, when we came out of the auditorium, we felt that something was wrong. We were afraid that you would be persuaded to stay. Just when we were at our wits' end, Zhu Gui ran to find her brother. You know what happened next. This time, it's really all thanks to Zhu Gui."
Ji Dong nodded and said, "I will return this favor sooner or later."
Bissou said with some worry, "Boss, just now Zhu Tian said that continuing your studies in the academy might delay you. You …"
Ji Dong laughed and said, "What? Don't you have confidence in me? Since I chose to stay, I definitely won't give up. However, you guys have to work hard too. Since Zhu Tian could condense the Yin Yang Crown in his fourth year, why can't you guys? Let's work hard together. "
The three of them put their hands together. They could see each other's encouragement and confidence.
When Ji Dong returned to the dormitory, he clearly felt relaxed. He could finally stay, and there shouldn't be any trouble before graduation. This academic year was about to end, and it would be a three-month holiday. He definitely had to stay in the academy. Since he had nowhere to go, he had to talk to the Flaming Bar tonight and see if he could increase his cultivation time at her place. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste? Starting over again would be a brighter future for cultivation.
