Although he failed to join the University of Science and Technology, this did not bring any substantial negative impact to Jia Lan, who had a complete system of arcane knowledge inheritance. After all, with the arcane knowledge deep in his memory, he was fully capable of self-study and even embarked on the path of becoming the arcane master he had always dreamed of.
However, this also meant that he would lose the opportunity to enter the vast library of the University of Science and Technology, which undoubtedly added a bit of difficulty to his attempt to solve the mystery of the mysterious earth vein explosion 1,700 years ago by consulting the precious books in the library.
Just as Jia Lan was lost in thought and trying to find other ways to obtain the borrowing rights of the library of the University of Science and Technology, the faculty member who was responsible for the test hurried back and led him to a slightly small but well-arranged small office at the back of the auditorium.
"Please sit down!" The middle-aged man with a kind smile politely asked Jia Lan to sit behind a slightly quaint desk. He smiled and asked, "Black tea or milk tea? Let me see... Sorry! It seems that only black tea is available here."
Obviously, this is not his daily office, so he spent some time to find two exquisite teacups and a can of fragrant black tea from a slightly old cabinet in the office.
After gently putting a little tea in the cup, the clergyman pulled out a delicate yew wood magic wand about one foot long from the depths of the magic robe. He drew an elegant circle slightly, and then gently tapped the two teacups, and saw two groups of pure and flawless water condensed out of thin air, falling into the teacups as lightly as elves. Soon, curling steam rose from the teacups, and the whole room was filled with the mellow aroma of black tea.
Jia Lan kept a polite smile and watched the wonderful performance of the caster without saying a word. The clergyman's spellcasting skills were obviously quite skilled, and his control of the elements was even more exquisite.
Just now, he skillfully used two so-called "magic abilities", which is undoubtedly a very advanced spellcasting skill in the pursuit of single element specialization.
"I'm sorry! Due to the limited conditions here, there is no milk and sugar to add, so I can only use this simple black tea to entertain you." Pushing a cup of hot black tea gently in front of Jia Lan, the faculty member sat down opposite Jia Lan.
He smiled and introduced himself: "I am Donaldson, one of the admissions officers of the 1714th class of the University of Science and Technology, and also a substitute teacher for the third-year water element subject."
Jia Lan wanted to give a mage salute to show respect, but then he thought that his "demon-repelling physique" had been exposed, so he just nodded gently: "Hello, you can call me Jia Lan."
There was no excessive greetings, no redundant inquiries, and after introducing himself, Jia Lan quietly waited for Donaldson's explanation.

After all, after he was tested to be "insulated" from magic, the other party specially called him to the office, obviously not just to invite him to taste a cup of black tea. Donaldson couldn't help but feel a little surprised at Jia Lan's calmness and composure. As the admissions officer, he had seen countless young people who were lost, frustrated, or even desperate because of poor elemental talents. It was rare for a young man like this one to face reality so calmly after learning that he had a "magic-repelling physique".
Professor Donaldson slowly picked up the teacup, blew it gently, and then took a sip. He then licked the tea foam on his lips, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and smiled at Jia Lan who was sitting opposite him: "Student Jia Lan, judging from your recent performance, I guess you seem to have known in advance that you have the special physique of 'Demon Repelling Physique'?"
Jia Lan shook his head helplessly, with a bit of confusion in his eyes: "No, actually I don't know... To be more precise, before you revealed this information to me just now, I knew almost nothing about 'Demon Repelling Physique'."
He could only answer like this, smiling bitterly in his heart. After all, he couldn't reveal the truth to this respected faculty member:
[In fact, I am not an ordinary "magician", but an "arcanist" who masters the power of "arcane". What I rely on is not the traditional "element" energy, but the more profound "arcane" energy. Therefore, the "demon repelling physique" you mentioned has no great impact on me. I sincerely hope that you can allow me to join the University of Science and Magic and continue my arcane research. ]
However, he could only keep these secrets deep in his heart.
Professor Donaldson was a little surprised by Jia Lan's answer. He frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "It's like this, Jia Lan. According to the elemental talent test standards of our University of Science and Magic, only students with any element value exceeding '10' are eligible to enter the main department of this college to study magic knowledge. And if your five-element talent values are generally lower than '5' but greater than '0', then you may only be able to enter the auxiliary department to study alchemy, enchantment and other subjects..."
He paused slightly, as if he was considering his words so as not to bring too much of a blow to the young student.
Jia Lan shrugged, and a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Are you trying to tell me that I am not the material for learning magic, so let me get out as far as possible?"
Professor Donaldson, who was holding up the teacup to taste tea again, heard the words, and suddenly "puffed" and choked out two sprays from his nose. At the same time, the teacup in his hand also shook violently, and the tea rose up like a fountain. He hurriedly put down the teacup, held the edge of the table and coughed violently, his face instantly turned red.
"Of course, if you want to inform me that I was not admitted to the University of Science and Technology, then you don't have to invite me in for tea." Jia Lan continued to speak to himself as if he didn't see Professor Donaldson's embarrassed appearance, "Let me guess? Is it because my "demon-repelling physique" is extremely rare in the University of Science and Technology, so you have a strong interest in me and plan to keep me for in-depth research?"
"Cough cough cough! Jia Lan... classmate... cough cough cough! You... you are so humorous... cough cough cough!" Professor Donaldson coughed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe, but he was amused by Jia Lan's words and wanted to laugh. Pain and smile intertwined on his face, forming a rather weird picture.
Jia Lan was stunned for a moment, then shrugged helplessly: "Well, even I think I am quite humorous."
[Oops! ]
Jia Lan secretly cried out in his heart that something was wrong. [It seems that I am increasingly affected by the memories left by another soul! This sudden sense of humor makes me feel a little at a loss.]
