Chapter 1467: Chapter 1465: Special Follower
Since Mi University recruits students from across the entire cosmos,
its foundational infrastructure incorporates a technology called “Prism Technology” originating from deep within the Void, ensuring that faculty and students from different regions and species can adapt to the university’s environment.
This technology refracts individualized campus styles based on distinct visual perceptions.
Of course, this adaptation isn’t limited merely to the visual senses; other sensory perceptions follow suit as well.
(Human Perspective)
[Administrative Building]
The entire top-level area has been modified to resemble the Yellow Sand Tomb style.
Apart from the specialist responsible for this floor, very few voluntarily venture here… Without a valid reason to approach this level, one might end up drained dry into a corpse, becoming part of the floor itself.
Behind an ancient-text-engraved stone door lies the Vice Principal’s office.
Currently, a specialist is reporting on the latest external recruitment efforts within the office.
“Vice Principal, the number of external recruits arriving at the university this year has shown a significant increase compared to previous years.
The current growth in recruitment numbers has reached 68%, and the overall quality has improved as well. The majority of candidates have casually deciphered the stone slab and located their corresponding temporal dimensions.
The percentage of those who successfully climbed onto the giant’s back has exceeded 85%.
This year, we should be able to bring in a batch of outstanding external instructors.”
As the specialist reported, a dry, deep voice emerged from an unseen depth beyond the reach of the naked eye:
“Perhaps this is connected to the effects of the London Game.
Additionally, among the external recruits this time, there is one particularly remarkable individual.
Keep a close watch on this individual during the upcoming teacher assessments.”
The specialist was suddenly startled, well aware that the Vice Principal typically only required data changes regarding lower levels… This time, however, emphasis was placed on a yet-to-be-assessed Outsider.
“What kind of existence could attract your attention, Vice Principal?
Could it possibly be a renowned Mythic Body, or is an Element planning to join our academy’s faculty?”
The darkness provided no answer.
Instead, a precision-crafted dynamic photo created from sand crystals was cast forward.
The scene captured in the photo prompted the specialist’s eyeball to detach and adhere closely to the image in careful observation.
A human-like young man was seen climbing on the Yellow Sand Giant, showing no signs of restriction by the sand nor aggression from the giant.
“How did he manage this?
The parameters of the Yellow Sand Colossus dictate indiscriminate attacks on anything that approaches, even our academy’s professors.”
“This human-like Outsider must have preemptively decoded the giant’s ‘recognition rules.’ Additionally, he likely possesses expertise in the same Yellow Sand Ability as me, enabling delicate Yellow Sand Manipulation that allows the giant to mistake him for grains of sand.
You’ll oversee this assessment.
During the process, closely monitor his performance in the instructor assessments. If his results are outstanding, bring him directly to see me.”
“Understood.”
The specialist’s expression shifted through a spectrum of changes in that instant, before heading to the examination venue at top speed.
…
On the Yellow Sand Giant’s back.
Han Dong climbed straight up in front of countless onlookers.
Captain Hugo gave Han Dong a meaningful look, seemingly guessing at his thoughts.
However, everyone’s gaze quickly shifted away from Han Dong, with demons of all shapes and forms staring nervously at the school’s gate.
Due to the Prism effect, the gate appeared differently to every demon’s vision.
To some, it was the stitched abdomen of a rotting corpse; to others, a writhing doorway woven from countless insect limbs; or even a secret entrance composed of grotesque faces.
But to Han Dong, it manifested as a majestic black iron gate adorned with book-themed carvings.
“This is… a personalized visual technology? No, even my sense of smell and touch seem to adapt in real time. Could it be some sort of special witchcraft from the Dreamlands?”
Han Dong’s Demon Eye detected the effects of Prism Technology and immediately linked it to a familiar figure: the Sixth Element, Miss Helen.
Just then.
A man in gentlemanly attire, wearing a rusted pair of glasses and sporting white hair and stubble, squeezed through the gap of the door.
His gaze quickly scanned the Outsiders gathered outside the gate, preparing to announce the rules for external instructor recruitment.
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and even his body twitched slightly.
Through their demonic vision, the demons observed layers of meatballs merging and overlapping, pulsing with dazzling hues within his veins.
“Professor Hugo! Why have you returned?!”
“Vinick! Why is this round of recruitment being handled by you?”
As Hugo raised his question, Vinick, the man responsible, extended a tentacle to converse privately with him:
‘This decision was made temporarily by the Vice Principal. The number and quality of Outsiders this time are exceptionally high. Having me oversee the process is more fitting… After all, we are in extraordinary times, and many of the academy’s nominal instructors can hardly return to fulfill their roles. It’s necessary to bring in a substantial number of teachers to maintain stability in education.
By the way, are you returning to the main campus to resume teaching?’
‘How could that be? Considering what happened before, returning to teach would surely provoke dissatisfaction. It’s best I refrain.
This time, I’ve only come to introduce a student and an instructor.’
As he spoke, Hugo simultaneously shared his visual target.
‘This is… an Ancestor Body of the Toad Demon, and one with the rare Space Toad attribute. With your recommendation, Hugo, combined with such a rare attribute, she’s undoubtedly qualified as a student here.
Now let me see the instructor you’re introducing… This is—?!’
Vinick, the specialist previously seen in the Vice Principal’s office, realized that the Outsider singled out by the Vice Principal and the person Hugo recommended were one and the same.
‘Hugo, let me tell you… My assignment was replaced specifically because of this human-like Outsider.
The Vice Principal personally asked me to closely observe this individual. What is their background?’
‘You’ll find out once they enter the academy.
To prevent any bias during the assessment, I won’t reveal anything for now… After all, according to Mi University’s regulations, anyone, no matter their nature, must undergo assessments to qualify as an instructor.’
‘Tss~ Must you be so secretive? Well, today’ll surely be interesting.
Alright, let the Toad Demon come forward. I’ll instruct my subordinates to help her with the enrollment procedures… After this assessment concludes, let’s meet privately.’
‘Alright.’
Maritzis displayed joy mixed with reluctant hesitation as she was singled out.
“Go on~ Sally and I will be staying on campus for a while; you can find us at any time.”
“Alright.”
As Maritzis left.
The responsible man began arranging the instructor assessment process.
“Applicants who have reached Mythological Level, please enter through the side gate; you are exempt from the power assessment and will be guided to the qualification evaluation area by staff.
All others, follow me,
The power assessment this time will be conducted personally by me, Vinick Papotti.
My requirement for you is simple: If you wish to teach at Mi University, your strength must at least rank near the upper tier among the student body.”
