"Oh my god! Jia Lan, you are definitely the most interesting freshman I have ever seen!"

Donaldson wiped the tea that splashed on his face, panting and laughing, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, "You guessed right, I am indeed very interested in your unique physique, and I want to invite you to stay and participate in some magic experiments..."

After a while, Donaldson finally recovered. He wiped his face in embarrassment and continued to laugh: "I have to clarify that not all magicians are evil necromancers. You don't have to worry about being used as a test subject and sliced for research. Our Science and Magic Academy has strict moral codes and experimental specifications."

Jia Lan muttered to himself: [Are necromancers really evil? ] In his time, except for those theocratic countries, the [Necromancy] school was one of the eight important schools on par with the seven major schools of "Protection, Spells, Prophecy, Enchantment, Shaping, Illusion, and Transmutation".

However, the "necromancer" mentioned by Donaldson seems to refer specifically to the mages who study the [necromancer sub-school] of the [necromancy] school, and does not involve other knowledge contents such as [undead sub-school] and [ghost sub-school].

Perhaps because they often deal with corpses and skeletons, they are not well understood by the public in this era.

"Although your elemental talent is indeed not enough to become a magic apprentice," Donaldson changed his tone and became serious, "but given your special physique, if you are willing to stay and cooperate with the academy to conduct some related magic experiments, I think we can provide you with a special opportunity."

After laughing for a while, Donaldson, as the admissions officer of the 1714 class, extended a sincere invitation to Jia Lan: "I am willing to recruit you to the [Science and Magic Academy] and recommend you to study in any [auxiliary departments] such as [linguistics], [identification], [archaeology], [heraldry], [sculpture], and [totemism]! Although these subjects are not as focused on magic research as the [main department], they also contain endless wisdom and mysteries."

This is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Jia Lan. Since solving the problem of alien souls interfering with spellcasting, he has been determined to become a great arcane master who can ignite the "arcane fire" like his teacher.

As for whether he can join the [main department] to study the so-called "magic" that he thinks is a mess, he doesn't really care.

However, Jia Lan still had doubts in his heart: "I don't really have the 'demon-repelling physique'. Is it really okay for me to join the [Demon Science Academy] as a 'test subject'?"

Seeing Jia Lan's hesitation, Donaldson obviously didn't want to lose this rare "demon-repelling physique" research subject. He persuaded temptingly: "If you agree, Jia Lan, the college will not only waive your tuition, provide you with accommodation and meals, but also provide you with a generous scholarship. Every time you participate in an experiment, you can get an additional subsidy!"

In order to dispel Jia Lan's concerns, Donaldson kindly explained: "Please rest assured, the so-called "demon-repelling experiment" will not harm your life and health. We just need you to cooperate with some simple tests. These tests are designed to explore the special features of your physique and its possible impact on magic."

Jia Lan heard this and nodded slightly. After thinking for a while, he made a small request: "Although I can't study in the [main department], I still hope to be able to audit the courses of various departments. In addition, I hope to obtain the reading rights of the college library."

"As long as you officially become a member of [Komo University] and wear this academic badge that symbolizes identity and honor, you can step into our magnificent library and enjoy the privilege of borrowing books. However, it should be noted that you can only borrow relatively elementary books. This is not only a measure taken by the college to protect precious materials, but also to allow you to absorb knowledge step by step."

Jia Lan's request made admissions officer Donaldson slightly stunned. He looked embarrassed, and then continued with a hint of apology in his tone: "Regarding borrowing rights, I must tell you the truth. The library's borrowing fees are calculated based on the preciousness of the book and the length of borrowing time."

"As for auditing courses, although the standard courses are already included in the tuition, the special lectures given by magic professors of different levels are charged by class hour, ranging from two gold talans to five gold talans per class hour. There are also special lectures by some high-level magic professors, and one class is as high as twenty gold talans."

"The academy will not bear this part of the cost for you. If you only want to audit the standard courses, I can apply for an 'auditor' status for you, so that you can easily integrate into the learning atmosphere. But if you are interested in the special lectures of magic professors, you have to bear the cost yourself."

Jia Lan heard it and waved his hand quickly, his eyes flashing with a desire for knowledge: "No, no, no! The qualification to audit the standard courses is enough for me. As for the special lectures of magic professors, if I am interested, I will solve the cost myself."

Then, Jia Lan seemed to realize something and hurriedly added: "The borrowing rights I mentioned actually refer to 'unrestricted reading rights'. You also know that in my case, it is almost impossible to get promoted to a senior grade. If I follow the borrowing rights of the academic year, I simply cannot access too many valuable books. I just hope to learn more about magic, so I hope to borrow some books for senior grades, or even some precious ancient books."

Jia Lan's words were full of seriousness and sincerity. He continued: "I have a strong interest in [linguistics], [identification] and [archaeology], and hope to be able to access precious books and volumes in these fields to satisfy my endless pursuit of knowledge."

Listening to Jia Lan's explanation, Donaldson looked at him sympathetically. A student with a "magic-repelling physique" is destined not to become a leader in the field of magic.

Even if he relies on those [auxiliary department] subjects that do not require elemental talent to accumulate enough credits, he cannot graduate successfully from [Magic University]. At most, he can only receive a certificate of completion and some degree certificates of [auxiliary department] subjects.

However, Donaldson knew that the main purpose of recruiting Jia Lante to [Magic University] was to add a rare "experimental subject" to the magic laboratory of the academy.

Compared with Jia Lan's rare and precious "magic-repelling physique", the conditions he proposed were nothing to the academy.

Moreover, as an educator, Donaldson knew that the passion for knowledge was worth encouraging. For him, the admissions director and third-year substitute teacher, it was not difficult to help Jia Lan realize his wish.

So, Donaldson nodded, with a hint of relief in his tone: "Okay! I can try to apply for a part-time job in the library for you. In this way, except for a few precious books and files that require special approval from the academy to borrow, other books will be open to you. I hope you can swim in the ocean of knowledge and absorb nutrients to your heart's content."

Donaldson actually felt guilty about the decision to recruit Jia Lante to [Magic University].

He knew that for Jia Lan, who had a "demon-repelling physique", staying at [Demon University] might not be the best choice. He would be more suitable to learn a skill that could support his livelihood in the future, or go to places like [Combat Vocational College] or [Mercenary Guild]'s mercenary training classes.
