Chapter 348

The Mobis Institute, or rather, all the other institutes in the Academic City, had adopted this curriculum system.

Students had to decide on the course they wanted to take, then go to the administration office in the morning to register for class. Only then would they be given the corresponding classroom key, only then would they be allowed to enter the classroom.

And the institute itself didn't care which courses you took, or whether or not you went to class.

If a student didn't have a certificate of approval from the institute's professors after five years of study, the institute wouldn't recognize them as a graduate, they would only issue a bronze badge, similar to an associate's certificate, which only proved that they had studied at the institute.

The same was true for auditing students, except that this process was much more difficult, even if they received a certificate of approval from the professors, they would only receive a bronze badge.

However, for those who had no status or had only obtained their status for one or two generations, this bronze badge was something they couldn't ask for more.

There were quite a few people lined up at the administration office, but apart from the students, there were also quite a few assistants, or in other words, the servants of wealthy families. Students could have their servants register themselves as their assistants and register for class.

Following that, something both coincidental and inevitable happened.

Negary had already chosen biology as his course, while Nox herself was a member of the Mystic Demonesses, an organization that advocated mana that originated from life, so it was natural for her to choose biology that was related to life itself.

Among the auditing students, the buzz-cut man and another middle-parted man seemed to be interested in the beautiful Nox, so they also chose Biology. After all, the Demonesses' method of obtaining mana gave them extraordinary charm.

As for the remaining bespectacled man, according to him, he came to the Mobis Institute for this course. Although he was also interested in Nox, he had more important matters weighing on his mind.

Just like that, coincidentally, all five auditing students chose biology.

The effect of the ritual? It requires five sacrifices? Negri frowned. He was only sure that the Mobis Institute's Dean had been affected by Mequik's radiation, but he wasn't sure what kind of grimoire the Dean had obtained.

According to the standard of this ritual, the Dean must have been a member of the House of Mages for a long time, possessing a certain level of magic cultivation. It was only during his recent trip to the Grand Library that he was infected. Negri silently thought to himself as he held the classroom key card.

From the looks of it, the effect of this ritual was to guide events and make things develop according to the requirements of the ritual. For example, the sense of belonging in the dormitory, so that the auditing students would not run around, and for example, they would all sign up for biology.

"Form the academy into a formation domain to guide the people marked." Negri had previously observed the other auditing students. Their physiques were not very abnormal, but each of them seemed to have some special characteristics.

"In other words, the position of the auditing student was already confirmed. The attack by Lucy and her sister was just an excuse for the auditing student to appear." Negri glanced at the bespectacled man. He seemed to have come to the academy for some important matter.

As for Nox, although the Mystic Demonesses were a Mystic organization, their relationship with the nobles of the Academic City was much closer than the other Mystic organizations. This was because they needed a large number of human resources, as well as banquets to carry out their rituals, and such banquets could only be held by the nobles.

The Dean of the Mobis Institute was naturally one of the nobles, so it was normal for him to have contact with the Demoness.

"As for the other two, they seemed to have been guided into the Mobis Institute by someone as well, while my involvement was most likely the work of Life Bearer." Negri shook his head. His current body and soul were both within the range of a normal person, at most, his spirit sense was a bit more developed and his knowledge was a bit richer, but if he was deliberately guided by those entities, it would be very difficult to notice.

However, he didn't expect that his actions would be so secretive that even Path entities wouldn't be able to see through his disguise without seeing him with their own eyes. At the same time, the 7 Gods were currently in a tense situation, so the 7 Gods wouldn't casually appear in this world in one piece. If that was the case, how did Life Bearer discover him and lead him into this trap?

Shaking his head to put these matters aside, 'Negary' cleaned up a bit, then noticed the buzz-cut man's hostile gaze. He had noticed that all five auditing students had chosen biology, so from his point of view, none of them had much of a competitive edge, only the pretty boy 'Negary' had managed to attract Nox's attention, so his hostile gaze had always been focused on 'Negary', like a fly.

"A boring desire to mate" Negri didn't discriminate against mating, as it was merely a part of the process of reproduction. What he discriminated against was the act of losing rationality due to the secretion of male hormones.

Negri took the key card and headed to the cafeteria. After working for an entire night, he needed to eat and replenish his nutrients. On the way, Negri saw Roger and his anomaly elimination squad, the security guard of the library was also among them with a panicked expression.

The clear sound of his leather shoes landing on the ground was mixed with the various noises of the morning. The security guard was a bit surprised, then felt a wave of exhaustion, so he couldn't help but tell Roger: "That precognitive dream last night used up too much of my energy, I need to go wash my face first"

Roger nodded and didn't mind it too much. Most of his attention was still focused on the magic inheritance ceremony last night, as well as the question of how to obtain more mana.

"I need to find that auditing student. The oil came from him, so he definitely knows where to find more oil and more mana." After hesitating for a long time, Roger finally made up his mind. After completing today's investigation of the sewers, he would go find Negri. "I hope that he can be a bit more responsible during his time at the academy and tell me how to obtain the oil. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to show him the power of magic."

While Roger was still filled with confidence, Negri once again came into contact with the security guard.

A person who had been hypnotized would usually have a special command implanted into their mind. As soon as they encountered the appropriate conditions, they would quickly enter a hypnotic state. The more times they were hypnotized, the deeper the special command would be implanted. This was also the pattern of hypnotize.avi.

When the security guard was hypnotized by Negri, he had a deep impression of the rhythmic sound of Negri's leather shoes, so it wouldn't be too hard to influence him again.

After learning the progress of the anomaly elimination squad's investigation and today's plan from the security guard, Negri checked his pocket watch, gave the security guard a few more commands, then stood up and left.

After hastily eating in the cafeteria, Negri headed to the biology classroom with the key card in hand to meet the dean of the Mobis Institute. Negri was quite interested in this person who had been infected by Life Bearer.
