The Mighty Mage
Chapter 201: Country R

Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Country R

Anyway Gu Jin doesn’t like anyone for now, which means he still has a chance.

And even if there was someone whom Gu Jin truly liked...he would make her give up on that person.

His and Gu Jin’s master-disciple relationship will end, the moment Gu Jin obtains her explorer’s license.

From then on, he could start to pursue Gu Jin officially.

He loved Gu Jin so much, that he was ready to die. From the first day when she beat him up, she became his idol.

Slowly he started to fall in love with her...

As more time passed, he became obsessed with Gu Jin.

Even if he can’t become her lover, he would be happy as long as he can become her little brother.

But as they say, lovers are the first priority of a woman. Hence Luo Meng was hell-bent on becoming Gu Jin’s lover.

Gu Jin patted his shoulder, "Good. Now go and start copying."

As Luo Meng trudged away, grumbling under his breath. Gu Jin couldn’t help but shake her head.

For her, Luo Meng was like a child.

(Author: More like a wolf?)

Gu Jin turned back to her friends, her smile returning.

"Let’s go."

"Yes!"

The graduation ceremony was held in the auditorium, decorated with elegant banners and intricate lighting, highlighting the significance of the occasion.

As they walked towards the venue, the anticipation among the graduates was palpable.

The hall was filled with students, faculty, and family members, all gathered to celebrate this milestone.

The stage was adorned with flowers and a large banner that read, "Congratulations to the Graduating Class."

Gu Jin took her seat along with her friends.

Lu Siyao imitated the junior girl’s tone and said with an excited expression,

"So Goddess Gu, how are you feeling about graduating from Magic School Academy as the valedictorian and the top Magic Seeker of our class?"

Gu Jin rolled her eyes,

"Siyao, even if you have spent 3 years in the army, you still can’t beat. If you don’t stop making fun of me, see how I straighten you out."

Lu Siyao grinned and placed a hand on her heart,

"Ah! Jin’er you are so cruel!"

Their banter continued until Xi Yun walked up to the podium.

He was the head teacher of Grade 3 Class A and just so happened to be Gu Jin’s teacher.

Before joining the Grade 3 Class A, Gu Jin was full of confidence in her strength.

But once she attended the lectures by Xi Yun, she was truly impressed.

She has never seen anyone with such high comprehension ability. She was so impressed that she attended all the lectures of Xi Yun.

Xi Yun shifted his gaze to the cold beauty sitting in one of the front seats with a melancholic expression.

Gu Jin...she was so amazing that Xi Yun was a little reluctant to let her go. After all, from Gu Jin’s answer, he could deduct one thing.

Gu Jin was a genius and if she stayed longer under his tutelage, she would achieve even greater heights.

But he also knew that it was time for her to spread her wings and fly.

Xi Yun cleared his throat and began his speech,

"Graduates, today marks the culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and growth. You have all faced challenges and overcome them with resilience.

Each of you has made remarkable progress, and I am immensely proud to stand before you as your teacher."

He paused, his eyes finding Gu Jin in the crowd.

"Also from now on, you will not be forced to attend any lectures, so kindly, unblock me."

"Hahaha!" The crowd couldn’t help laughing.

How could they not know?

Their goddess Gu was truly unique.

Other students tried their best to make connections with the teacher of the magic school academy.

However, only Goddess Gu was so arrogant that she blocked Teacher Xi’s number because he repeatedly called her to remind her about his lecture.

Gu Jin: "..."

She couldn’t help but touch her nose with a guilty expression.

Indeed, this was one of the reasons why, she attended all of Xi Yun’s lectures.

But shouldn’t he save himself some face and hide this matter?

If she was unique then Xi Yun was a weirdo.

Xi Yun continued,

"Coming back to the speech. If any future any of you meet each other, I hope that you will help each other out.

More allies means more chances of surviving. In this world filled with uncertainties, we need to rely on each other.

Remember the friendships and connections you have built here, for they will be invaluable as you navigate your paths ahead.

Also, if you need guidance someday, please contact us.

I hope you all can make a big name and someday return to Magic School Academy to honor the school."

The crowd applauded, and Xi Yun concluded his speech with a heartfelt,

"Congratulations, graduates! May you all find success and fulfillment in your journeys."

All the students present were filled with emotions.

The journey to graduation wasn’t easy.

Many lives were lost...many people were betrayed.

But only their teacher stayed true to them.

The Magic School Academy was like their second home.

They never suffered any injustice. The Magic School Academy even provided them with the necessary resources.

Almost no to 1% of partiality was suffered by them.

Gu Jin looked at the moved expression on the student’s faces and couldn’t help but recall the video she had seen back on earth.

In that graduation ceremony, most of the students would fall asleep. How could they be so touched?

But Gu Jin knew that the magic world was different from Earth.

On earth, some people even till the age of 23 don’t have to face the cruel reality of the world. So for them, school, high school, and colleges/universities are like hellish places.

In Magic World, however, this reality check was given to all the humans the moment they were born.

Not to mention, the Magic School Academy was indeed very good.

The ceremony proceeded with the graduates being called up one by one to receive their diplomas.

When Gu Jin’s name was announced, the room erupted in applause.

She walked up to the stage with confidence, accepting her diploma from Xi Yun, who gave her a proud smile and a firm handshake.

"No more blocking?" Xi Yun asked in a small voice.

"No more blocking." Gu Jin nodded with a serious expression."Also thank you, Teacher Xi. I won’t let you down."

As she stepped off the stage, Xi Yun blinked and realized that he was so stunned, that he remained standing on the stage in an awkward position.

He coughed, straightened his back, and walked backstage elegantly as if he wasn’t the one who was embarrassed but a helpless smile was plastered on his face.

The graduation ceremony continued, and once it ended, the graduates mingled with their friends and family, celebrating their achievements.

It just happens that neither Gu Jin nor Liang Bao and Lu Siyao had any family, so the three of them chatted with each other.

"What is your future plan Jin’er?" Lu Siyao asked.

She knew Gu Jin’s plan but still asked because she wanted to confirm.

"I am planning on going to Capital."

"Beijing Univeristy?" Liang Bao asked.

"Yes." Gu Jin nodded, "What about you two?"

Lu Siyao waved her hand,

"Though I am planning to join the military, I will soon meet with you Jin’er, after all, you are planning to become a special officer in the future, am I right?"

"Yes." Gu Jin nodded and turned towards Liang Bao.

Only Liang Bao was the one who never told her future plans to them.

Whenever they asked, Liang Bao would say that she would tell them at the graduation ceremony.

Now that the graduation ceremony was over, she should finally tell her plans, right?

"That...I plan on continuing my further studies in Country R..." Liang Bao said with a shy expression but her eyes showed determination.

"Huh? Country R? Why? And for how long? Will you return in between?" Lu Siyao asked questions one after the other.

"I’ve been offered a unique opportunity to study advanced magic there. It’s a rare chance to learn from some of the best in the field."

Gu Jin and Lu Siyao exchanged glances, both clearly surprised but supportive.

"For how long?" Gu Jin asked, her curiosity piqued.

"Three years," Liang Bao said.

"I’ll be fully immersed in my studies, but I’ll make sure to visit during breaks and keep in touch."

Lu Siyao grinned,

"Three years isn’t that long. Plus, you’ll come back with even more amazing skills. Just make sure you don’t forget us."

"How could I forget my best friends?" Liang Bao smiled warmly.

Gu Jin stared at Liang Bao, in fact, she knew that Liang Bao was hiding something from them.

She had long ago discovered it.

Only Lu Siyao was a fool, to think that Liang Bao just wanted to study in Country R.
