The Vice President's words made it clear that he had not given up on persuading Baiyi to participate in a higher Power Level Determination.
Baiyi pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked, "You're curious about my power, aren't you?"
"I'm not the only one." The Vice President nodded. "There are many others who are curious as well. It's not just the Sorcerer's Association. Other organizations, including the Doors of Conundrum, and even the nobles, are very curious about you, Sir. You may not have noticed it yourself, but from noble salons to casual conversations among the common folk, you're the talk of the town. "
"Tsk …" Baiyi frowned. He did not doubt the Vice President's words. With the Church's promotion, Baiyi had gained fame, and it was only natural that people would pay attention to him. It was not surprising that people would be curious about him, even if he had always kept a low profile.
Baiyi thought for a moment and said, "Alright. To satisfy your curiosity, I will apply for an Immortal-level Power Level Determination."
The Vice President's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Oh? You're planning to skip Legendary-level? I don't think it's a problem, but you know, according to the rules … "
"Don't worry, I know the rules. Can you be my referrer?" Baiyi asked.
"It would be my honor," the Vice President replied.
According to the Sorcerer's Association's rules, sorcerers were not allowed to skip levels to ascend to the next level. However, there were exceptions to everything. In order to attract powerful sorcerers who were not interested in levels to join their ranks, the Sorcerer's Association would make an exception for powerful sorcerers like Baiyi, who had clear battle records. They would even simplify part of the process.
Of course, it would not be as simple as the Master-level Determination. After all, this was a Higher Power Level Determination. Baiyi still had to prepare a lot of necessary things, such as a certain number of academic papers, the development and modification of new spells, and so on. He also had to have at least one other sorcerer who had passed the Determination of Sorcerer's level to recommend him.
After all this was done, the Association would have a general understanding of Baiyi's sorcery skills. He would be considered half a member of the Sorcerer's Association, so he could apply for some benefits, such as money, money, and more. He could also enjoy some privileges and resources, such as the development of some patents, the sharing of information, the supply of high-quality materials, and so on. However, in return, he would have to fulfill certain obligations, and there would be a lot of trouble.
Baiyi was more than happy to accept such an equivalent exchange. As for enjoying more resources and benefits, but at the same time, he had to obey the Sorcerer's Association's every word, that was out of the question. Baiyi was not one to be tied down by others.
However, the main reason that drove Baiyi to accept the rank certification was not because of the benefits. It was because he wanted to prepare for the future of the academy. As the future principal of the academy, it would not look good if he did not have a high rank that had been certified by the authorities. The heroic deeds that the Church preached would fade with time, but the rank certification would not. At the same time, the Determination of Level Determination would bring him a greater reputation, which was what he needed to establish the Academy.
Furthermore, the Academy would have to be approved by the Sorcerer's Association in charge of the Faculty of Studies, and only after obtaining the Determination of Level Determination would he be able to open the Academy. Therefore, maintaining a good relationship with the Sorcerer's Association would be beneficial for the future.
After making an appointment with the Vice President to write a few academic papers as soon as possible, Baiyi asked the Vice President for help in arranging the Determination of Level Determination. Then, Baiyi returned with Undine. Undine was as excited as a little sparrow on the way back. "I knew I was right to trust you! I knew you could solve the problem with just your help! You're so reliable! " The Earl, who was sitting beside her, chimed in with Undine's unskilled flattery, and the whole journey from the Sorcerer's Association all the way to the carriage.
Baiyi waved his hand impatiently, interrupting the two's meaningless conversation. He asked, "Do the people out there like to talk about me?"
The Earl nodded and replied, "Someone as mysterious and powerful as you has always been the center of everyone's attention. In fact, we often talk about you."
"Yes, yes!" Undine replied. "Even the noble ladies are curious about you! Some of them even came to me to ask about you, but when they heard that you're only interested in young girls, they all backed off. "
'Do you even know how to talk?' Baiyi smacked her on the head and said sternly, "How could you believe such baseless rumors?"
Undine pulled a long face and stuck her tongue out at the Earl. She thought to herself, 'Why don't you take a look at those students of yours? They're all cuter than the last, and they're all prettier than the last …'
While Baiyi was feeling helpless about the ridiculous rumors, the others were more interested in the outcome of the hearing. The Southern Duke, for example, was sitting in his study, listening to his secretary's report. His expression was one of confusion. "Wright, that old dog … Did he really give me a painting for such a small matter? That's not a big deal, is it? What in the world is this Hope? "
As he said that, he flipped through a report on the table. He looked up at the secretary and asked, "About Hope, is this all you have found?"
"I'm sorry, Your Grace. This is all we've found," the secretary replied respectfully.
"A Soul Armature who's reincarnated for less than a year, and he's following the daughter of a small feudal lord in a backwater village. In such a short period of time, he managed to convince that old man, Wright, to stand up for him, and now you're telling me that all he does every day is watch over those adorable female students of his?" The Duke said in displeasure. He waved the report in his hand and threw it at the secretary. "What I've heard is more than what you've found! If your men can't find anything, don't you know how to find someone else? "
"I'm really sorry, Your Grace. I once sent a request to Umbra, but they rejected it. They even said that they would not accept any requests related to this man in the future," the secretary said apologetically.
"Even Umbra wants to stand up for him? Haha, interesting. This is something I've never heard before. Those people you've been keeping are quite useful, "the Duke muttered. The Grand Duke muttered, "What a curious fellow. No wonder so many people are talking about you …" He tapped his finger on the table and quickly gave another order, "Think of a way to continue the investigation, but be careful not to alarm him. Investigate with curiosity and kindness, do you understand?"
"Also, what about the people who caused this mess? The ones who poked their hands into the barbarians' territory without my permission? "the Duke asked.
"They didn't actually want to interfere with the trade with the North. They just wanted to make some money from the new transportation. I warned them later, and they stopped in time. They also cut all ties with the Sorcerer's Association, so I don't think they'll drag us into this."
"At least they have some brains." The Duke rubbed his hands together and continued, "I've tried to find out more about the trade with the barbarians and those Northerners, and it's not that simple. Everything may seem calm now, but it's actually very sensitive. There are many eyes watching in the dark. Even I don't dare to interfere. "
The secretary was stunned. If there was anything that could make the Southern Duke say that he didn't dare to interfere, it had to be the Emperor in the Imperial City. It was only natural that a trade involving three factions and three regimes would attract the attention of the highest authorities. However, the Emperor had not said anything yet, which meant that he was allowing them to continue. So, the situation in the Imperial City was not something that could be disturbed by others.
The only question was whether Undine and the others, who were passionately involved in the trade, had realized this.
"Remember to keep your mouth shut," the Grand Duke reminded.
"Understood …" The secretary quickly replied. When she saw the Duke waving his hand, she quickly bent down to pick up the report and left the study, closing the door behind her.
The Southern Duke, on the other hand, was studying the painting that Duke Wright had sent him. It had been properly hung on the left wall of the study, along with the rest of his collection.
After staring at it for a long time, the Southern Duke said in a low voice, "Wright … My old friend, is this a malicious threat? Or a friendly reminder? "
While the Southern Duke was pondering Baiyi, Baiyi's students, especially the freshmen, gathered together during their lunch break. After a week of lessons, it was time for them to rate Baiyi, especially when they compared his lessons with the Sorcerer's Hammerhead Shark to the Apprentice's Hammerhead Shark.
"Sir, he's really good …" Nota the Fairy was the first to speak. "Not only is he knowledgeable, but he's also very good at teaching. He's also very responsible." As she said that, she flipped open her exercise book. On the side of the book that was marked with a red cross was densely packed with annotations.
Kitsune, too, flipped open his workbook and wagged his big tail. Using magical words, he said, "He really is an excellent teacher. Although some of his methods are new and unconventional, he's the best teacher I've ever met. Too bad he's too strict, and I'm not as talented as you are, Nota. I don't think I can live up to his expectations. "
After saying that, the sunflower and the owl nodded in agreement and hung their heads dejectedly.
