Chapter 434 Bai Wu Xie Club
Although the freshmen matriculation ceremony and the seniors graduation ceremony were held on the same day, under the guidance of Anthony-Black Sparrow, the overall efficiency was still very high.
In less than an hour, the ceremony was already coming to an end.
“Although the required courses for third-year students will be greatly reduced, this period is very important, especially for those who have not yet raised their strength to Second-level Wizard Apprentice. I suggest you focus more on meditation—”
At this point, several senior students whose strength had not yet broken through to the Second-level Wizard Apprentice level couldn't help but lower their heads.
According to the school regulations of White Coral Academy, if a third-year senior student still fails to break through to Second-level Wizard Apprentice before the end of the next year, they will be stripped of their student status and will not be able to obtain a graduation certificate even when it is time to graduate.
And for Wizard Apprentices of the academy faction, not having a graduation certificate is undoubtedly a huge blow.
Especially when they want to join other organizations to make a living, without the proof of an academy certificate, it means that the treatment they receive is no different from that of those wilderness Wizard Apprentices.
“Here, I would like to once again welcome the new students to White Coral Academy, and at the same time, I would like to wish all the seniors who are about to enter the next grade, as well as those who are about to graduate from White Coral Academy, all the best in the future—”
“Of course, I also want to remind you that during the two-month winter vacation in the future, you must pay attention to safety and not rashly participate in dangerous activities, otherwise, I will not be responsible for collecting your corpses—”
“Finally, on the last day of the year, I wish everyone a Happy New Year!”
Clap clap clap clap. As soon as Anthony-Black Sparrow finished speaking, thunderous applause once again resounded in the classroom. “Alright, meeting adjourned. See you next year.”
“Goodbye.”
As the blue-white flames ignited again, in just the blink of an eye, Anthony-Black Sparrow and all the other professors disappeared in the firelight.
And the first floor hall of the Magic Tower, without the Wizard, returned to its original noisy state.
“Vivian, there’s a Bai Wu Xie Club dinner tonight. Do you want to join us?”
Because the graduation ceremony was delayed, the members of the Bai Wu Xie Club were rarely all present at once. So, while everyone had not yet returned home, Suoluo-Flame, as the current president of the Bai Wu Xie Club, organized everyone to have a good dinner on the last day of the New Year.
“Is that the academy organization you invited me to join before?”
“Exactly, most of them are familiar faces.”
Hearing Jia Na’s words, Vivian, who had originally intended to invite Jia Na alone to her home for dinner, only thought for a moment before nodding.
“I’ll go with you.”
“Okay, then let’s meet directly at the Fresh Flowers Rendezvous private room in Emerald Feather String at six o’clock this afternoon.”
“No problem—”
After speaking, Vivian looked at the other Wizard Apprentices who were also busy socializing around them, then tugged on Jia Na’s arm.
“Do you have plans? Do you want to go shopping with me?”
Hearing Vivian’s words, Jia Na, who was originally scheduled to go to the library, also only thought for a moment before readily agreeing to Vivian’s invitation.
“Then let’s go now!”
“Jia Na—”
Just as Vivian was about to pull Jia Na away from the Magic Tower, a low voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
“Senior, congratulations on finally graduating.”
Seeing that the person who called her was Suoluo-Flame, who had just graduated, Jia Na smiled and congratulated him.
“Thank you, but you also know, this is not something glorious for me.”
Looking at the bitter smile on Suoluo-Flame’s face, Jia Na shook her head indifferently.
“It’s only a one-year delay in graduation, which is quite common in many Wizard Academies.”
Suoluo-Flame, as a Third-level Wizard Apprentice of the same class as Richard-Eva and Gavin-Tuer, did not choose to graduate last year, but instead repeated a year.
“Senior, did you call me for something just now?”
“It’s nothing, I just wanted to remind you not to forget tonight’s dinner—”
At this point, Suoluo-Flame seemed to have made some kind of decision, looking into Jia Na’s eyes, and said with a hint of nervousness:
“Jia Na, are you free tomorrow night? I’d like to invite you to our family’s New Year’s Eve dinner—”
“Jia Na—”
Before Suoluo-Flame could finish speaking, another voice interjected.
“Jia Na, are you free tomorrow night? Would you do me the honor of having dinner with me alone?”
Looking at Malo-Haige, who suddenly interrupted, Suoluo-Flame’s expression visibly darkened.
“Do you know that interrupting someone else’s conversation is very rude?”
“Oh, it’s Senior Suoluo. Did I interrupt your conversation just now? I’m truly sorry.”
Despite Suoluo-Flame’s anger, Malo-Haige maintained his gentle and harmless demeanor. Although he apologized verbally, his eyes were firmly fixed on Jia Na, showing no intention of backing down.
“Are you deaf?”
Seeing the obviously tense atmosphere between the two men opposite, Vivian, who had been standing next to Jia Na, couldn’t help but frown, then took a step forward with a rather strong stance.
“Jia Na has already made plans with me tomorrow night—”
“I’m very sorry, I already have plans with Vivian for tomorrow night, so I cannot accept either of your invitations.”
Before Vivian could finish her sentence, Jia Na’s polite refusal reached the ears of Suoluo-Flame and Malo-Haige.
“That’s right, you two are too late.”
Looking at the stunned expressions of Suoluo-Flame and Malo-Haige, Vivian, though still maintaining a cold face, was practically overflowing with triumph in her eyes.
“It seems I’m still a step behind Vivian this year.”
Hearing Jia Na’s polite refusal, Malo-Haige, after his initial surprise, gave a carefree smile.
And Suoluo-Flame, who had been rejected by Jia Na several times, suppressed the disappointment in his eyes and also nodded towards Jia Na.
“In that case, we’ll just have to meet up another time—Happy New Year, Jia Na.”
“Happy New Year, Senior.”
Regarding the undisguised emotions in Suoluo-Flame’s eyes, Jia Na’s face still maintained that polite smile.
After a few more casual remarks, Jia Na and Vivian left the Magic Tower together, leaving Suoluo-Flame and Malo-Haige to sigh silently as they watched Jia Na’s retreating figure.
“What? Are you leaving already?”
It wasn’t until Jia Na’s figure had completely disappeared from their sight that Malo-Haige, who had intended to leave, was directly called out by Suoluo-Flame.
“Does Senior have any advice?”
Looking at the slightly unfriendly smile on Suoluo-Flame’s face, and his tall stature of over 1.9 meters, Malo-Haige, who was only about 1.7 meters tall, also raised his head without showing any weakness, looking at the other party.
“Advice is out of the question, I just want to have a good spar with you—”
