Chapter 214: Chapter 208: Overlord Mecha
Translator: 549690339
That is to say, in their eyes, David Jones, who won the first place in the competition, has extremely high talent, but he is only considered middle-to-upper level among the gifted and talented students of the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five.
The other four Greats would not go so far as to actively recruit David Jones, who has a close relationship with Rosewood College, thereby breaking the unwritten rules.
However, if David Jones applies on his own, the Four Prestigious Schools would not miss such an outstanding freshman Trainer and would even gladly accept him.
But there are always exceptions, and SSS-rank talents are definitely worth fighting for among the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five.
A Trainer who has cultivated the Arcane Star to Class III Apex at the age of nineteen can be considered a rare top talent even among the Big Five.
Such a talent would not even be missed by Peony Colledge!!!
“Take the initiative to contact David Jones. As long as he agrees to enter Peony Colledge, he can choose from King-level pets or King-level Mecha, and even Class VII arcane implements can be negotiated,”
After some contemplation, Minister Felix added with some uncertainty, “If he still doesn’t agree, you can reveal to him the quota for the Overlord Mecha that our Peony Colledge is currently researching.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Lewis’s pupils shrank.
The so-called Overlord Mecha are mechanical armors with combat power comparable to that of a Seventh-Order Tyrant, and can also be called artificial mechanical pets.
Although she is only a teacher in the recruitment department, she is aware that Peony Colledge’s independently developed new Overlord Mecha is nearing completion.
Each Overlord Mecha quota is extremely precious, and even King-level Trainers within the school can’t get one.
Unexpectedly, Minister Felix was actually willing to give out a quota.
With envy in his heart, Mr. Lewis hastily responded, “Understood, I’ll contact him right away.”
At the same time, the remaining four of the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five, although a little slower, still received the news that an SSS-rank freshman Trainer had appeared in Waterland City.
So, a new round of competition officially began! They all sent teachers from their recruitment departments to vie for this talent.
On the other hand, at Rosewood College’s Recruitment Department,
“Miss Lamb, according to the information I received, Peony, Glazewater, Phoenix, and Blunt Colledge have all reached out to David Jones!”
“David Jones?” A intellectual woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a black woolen coat asked in confusion.
Nora Lamb, Head of the Rosewood College Recruitment Department, a King-level Trainer and a renowned Master Pharmacist.
“It’s the David Jones that Director Hoyle asked us to pay attention to.” A petite girl reminded.
Nora Lamb was slightly taken aback but quickly recalled the matter Director Hoyle had mentioned.
“What’s going on? How did David Jones suddenly become so highly sought after?” Nora Lamb’s eyes turned serious.
If the talent Director Hoyle had assigned was poached by the other four Greats, it would be her dereliction of duty.
“Ma’am, here’s the detailed information.” The girl timidly placed the file in her hand on the table.
Picking up the file on the table, Nora Lamb quickly skimmed through it and then picked up her phone to call for further instructions.
“Doot-doot-doot…”
A few dozen seconds later, the call was connected.
“Nora, what’s the matter?” A crisp voice came from the other end of the phone.
Nora Lamb’s expression was somewhat solemn, “Director Hoyle, David Jones, who you asked us to keep an eye on, has now caught the attention of the other four Greats.”
“Oh, for what reason?”
“David Jones had an SSS-rank overall evaluation in the Arcane Star test.”
As soon as her words fell, Nora Lamb quietly awaited her superior’s instructions.
“Is that all?”
Upon hearing this, Nora Lamb was slightly taken aback and then replied, “Yes.”
“Then just let it go.”
Looking at the disconnected phone in her hand, Nora Lamb couldn’t help but widen her eyes, “What’s going on? How can we let go of such a once-in-a-blue-moon talent?”
Taking a deep breath to calm her inner turmoil, she glanced at the confused girl in front of her and said calmly, “You don’t need to worry about this.”
“Alright.” The girl nodded slightly and then left the office.
After a moment of silence, Nora Lamb looked out the window at the azure sky and thought to herself, “Weird, this reaction is completely different from Director Hoyle’s usual domineering attitude. What’s going on?”
June 14th, 730 in the morning, Waterland City’s floating train central station.
David Jones sat in the crowded waiting hall, feeling listless and yawning.
Other than the few days of the college entrance examination, he spent the past few months either strengthening his pets with Dragon-Wielding or staying up late to refine high-level Dragon Crystals, feeling weak.
Fortunately, hard work pays off, and he managed to refine four high-level Dragon Crystals during this period.
Last night, he only used two of them, elevating Rainbow’s strength from middle-level Class III to upper-level Class III.
However, it’s a pity that Rainbow’s luck doesn’t seem to be very good lately. Despite the five-layer awakening probability, she didn’t awaken any new Dragon skills after consuming the two high-level Dragon Crystals.
On the contrary, her Dragon evolution technique, Rain Dance, which she had been practicing for a long time, improved from the proficient level to the excellent level during a medicine field irrigation last night.
This made David Jones wonder if high-level Dragon Crystals have the ability to improve skill mastery level besides awakening Dragon skills. However, this is just a hypothesis for now and cannot be taken as truth.
After all, his Identify talent did not reveal such an effect on high-level Dragon Crystals.
Nevertheless, having mastered an Excellent-level Rain Dance, Rainbow has actually met the minimum requirement for autonomous evolution.
Still, having read the Ice-Fire experiment report and having a plan in mind, David Jones doesn’t intend to let Rainbow evolve early.
After all, just an Excellent-level Rain Dance is not enough for Rainbow to control the high-level Pet Resources she possesses.
According to David Jones’ expectation, at least a Perfect-level Rain Dance is needed to ensure Rainbow’s evolution safety to the greatest extent.
“Sorry for the wait!” A clear female voice came.
David Jones looked up and saw a girl in a white dress, her temperament as pure as a snow lotus, immediately catching his eye.
There was a flash of amazement in his eyes, and then he looked doubtfully at the two emotionless burly men behind Margaret Yule, “What’s this?”
“Because of the long journey, my family sent bodyguards.” Margaret Yule explained.
“I see, let’s get started.” David Jones got up from his seat and looked in the direction of the entrance.
Ten minutes later, the long dragon-like floating train left Waterland Station and raced towards Celebration City at lightning speed.
Sitting next to Margaret Yule and inhaling the fragrance that was either from her makeup or her natural body scent, David Jones discretely glanced at the two bodyguards sitting in the rows in front and behind them.
“An Elite-level Trainer and a Master-level Trainer. It seems our safety is basically guaranteed on this trip!” David Jones silently praised Margaret Yule in his heart.
